The Mills Didn,t stop.

Four years ago there was a promi-
nent Republican in Ohio very largely
interested in the iron manufacturing
business. He was also prominent in
the banking business, and was pointed
out as a successful business man and
great financier. He gave literally to
the Republican campaign fund, and
was among the loudest of those who
contended that the prosperity and
welfare of the country could only be
maintained by keeping the Republican
party In power.
Well, this great business man and
financier was, as has been said, largely
interested in iron mills, and when the
campaign of 1884 grew warm and the
Republicans were hard pressed, this
eminent Republican and able financier
posted upon his mills this notice.:
sThese mills will be closed if Cleve-
land is elected President"
This was the way this brilliant Re
publican financier and business man
had of persuading his employees that
they had better vote for Blaine
Whether they were so persuaded or
not by this means we do not know,
and it is of no consequence now. We
simply want to call attention to what
this iron manufacturer said four years
ago.
Well, Cleveland was elected, and
neither these nor other iron mills clos
ed. They ran right along. They have
been running ever since. They are
running now. But the brilliant f1nan-
cier, the successful iron maker, the
eminent Republican who posted that
notice in his mills, is sojourning in
the grim solitude of the Ohio stale
prison for gambling in wheat deal
with other peoples money. The gen
xleman referred to is Mr.. Harper, the
late President of the Fidelity Bank of
Cincinnati.
We suppose there is no need to point
out the moral of this truthful story.
The moral is in its application. When
the workingman in any iron mill is
told that if Cleveland is elected the
mill will stop and there will be no
work. let him call the attent ton of the
man who tells him 30 to this interest
ing and veracious story.-[Plain Deal

EVEN brief period of time seems to
have sufficed in the enlightenment of
numerous bright and shining lights in
the Republican ranks on the question
of tariff. Two years since Hon. Levi
P. Morton, the Republican candidate
gave the following as bis reasons for
having voted in Congress in favor of
placing certain articles upon the free
list:
/ voted to put salt on the free list in
1880, believing that the salt industry
of the country did not need national
protection, and that the farmers of
New York and the country were enti
tied to the kind of foreign salt which
they require in the manufacture of
butler, free of duty.
1 also voted for the bill putting the
raw materials used in the manufacture
of printing paper on the free l'st, be.
lieving that the people of the State
and country were also entitled to cheap
reading matter.
The Bellefontaine Examiner, in
view of Mr.. Morton's pest record
says: Now, if Mr.. Morton should be
asked the question if 1.-The farmers of
New York and the country" are enti
tied to " free salt to put in their but
ter" aud to "cheap reading matter"
why the toiling and struggling poor
of the country are not also entitled to
free fuel, food and clothing? he would
probably be more or less perplexed to
answer. Mr.. Morton will now add
whisky and tobacco to his free list, we
suppose, in Difference to the require.
ment of the party platform upon which
he has been placed as candidate for
Vice President.
The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1888-07-19

THE following is an extract from
the last message of Chester A. Arthur
to. Congress
II recommend an enlargement of
the free list, so as to include within it
the numerous articles which yield in
considerable revenue, a simplification
of the complex and inconsistent sched-
ule of duties upon certain manufac
lures, particularly those of cotton iron
and steel, and a substantial reduction
of the duties upon these articles, and
upon sugar, molasses, silk, wool and
woolen goods
Now the very Republicans who elect.
ed Garfield and Arthur are bowling
against "a simplification of the com
plex and inconsistent schedule of du-
ties upon certain manufactures" and
charge Democrats with being :" free
traders because they simply ask IAN
enlargement of the free list," and a
reduction of the war tariff rates which
has made millionaires of the-monopO.
ly barons and, added additional bur-
den to the laboring masses.-t Plain

John sherm am ON Free Raw Mate.

In 1872 there was a bill before Con-
gress which provided for the free i'm
portation of materials to be used in
this country in ship building. In
support of this measure Hon. John
Sherman used these words: {" 1t would
be of more service to the commercial
interests of the United States than all
the subsidies that could possibly be
voted. Then why not admit such ma
terials duty free, raise the American
flag upon our ships, put American Of
ficers on their decks, and have Ameri.
can lines instead of British lines
Why, sir, if this bill should pass, one
half of the lines between New York
and England would be American lines
in sixty days When John Sherman
uttered these words, John was an hon.
est, fearless advocate of a common in
terest with the American people, the
masses, and was not then trucking to
monopolies, national banks and mon
led aristocracies as he is today. A man
who can change so soon from tariff
reform to a continuance of the present
high tariffs for the enriching of the
few and the pauperizstion of the many
is not consistent, to say the least

Mr.. ]. h. WADE holds that the du.
ties on imports should not be touched
and that the only thing to be done
is to abolish the internal revenue bu.
reau" He is in favor of take clothes
and untaxed whisky. Mr.. Wade vo
ted for Republican President in 1880:
did not vote for Cleveland in 1884, and
is therefore acting now in accordance
with his political position for the past
eight years. We do not quarrel with
Mr. Wade on that account. He has a
right to have his own opinions and to
act in accordance with what he thinks
to be his interests, But he is no ''con-
vert" as his detection from the d m .
ocratic party, took place several y a ,
ago.-CPlain Dealer.

Apropos of Harrison's ancestry the
Post Dispatch says: Benjamin Harrison
of Virginia, in 1776 signed the Declara-
ton of Independence arraigning the
British Government ''for cutting off our
trade with all parts of the world Now
his great grandson leads a party which
openly proposes to ''cut off our trade
with all parts of the world" by exclud-
ing all imports of merchandise or ma
terial.

WHAT WAS D NE AT THE ST. LOUIS CON
FERENCKs YESTERDAY.
ST. LOUIS, Mo, Nov IA AT meeting
of the Transcontinental Association to-
Gay the executive committee appointed
yesterday reported set OF rules for the
government Of the Association which
we're discussed at length and finally
adopted. The revision OF the tariff was
then taken up, but little progress Was
made owing to the Generalization Of
trur line rates in1ugurated few days
since.
Chairman Leeds Is Of the opinion that
while the situation is embarrassing q
basis csn be agreed upon, but the prime
object OF the pregent meeting Is practi-
cslly defeated for the present at least.
The OBJECT Of the meeting wss to come
into line with the Central TrSmc Associa-
ton and trunk lines Ia order that har-
monY might prevail from New York 20 the
extreme western limit OF transportation.
Chairman Leeds ssys the only alternative
will be an agreement upon thorough
tariff basis in effect after rStes have been
restored by the Eastern line. Bntil that
is accomplished the Tra1scontinentsl
lines pr per can adhere to the new sched'
ule il their own territory.
The passenger agents held arother
meeting to- day, but the work sccom-
plished was informal ard nothing definite
will be Ggreed upon until at the joint
meeting, which will be held tomorrow.
The Southeastern Association rlso met
and 81 complished some work. Rs;es in
