''Very sound sentiments, those" remarked
a man who had been shouting himself hoarse
at the harangue of a Republican speech

sat in a corner with a wearied expression on
his face.
Every sound, indeed; all sound, in fact"
replied the silent man YEARLY.
Then the questioner sat still for five min
utes, debating with himself whether he ought
to feel offended or not, without arriving at
satisfactory conclusion.

A Democratic Parade at Monte
yideO Egged by Republicans.
Special to the Globe.
MoNTEVIDEo, Mimi, Oct. 11.-There
was a grand rally of the Chippewa
county Democrats tonight. The cannon
commenced to boom at G:30. The
Democratic club assembled at z
and formed in procession, headed by
the Silver HelicOn band. One hundred
torches were lighted and handed out.
The farmers took them and formed in
line. Over half of the members of the
club were obliged to march without
torches. The line of march was down
First street and back, passing up a
winding street, up the hill and up to
the courthouse hall. While passing
up the street the sight was
rent the air. The farmers for
miles around were present and cheering
Justify. Some miscreant threw rotten
eggs at the procession and several bows
were hit. They were probably Repub-
lican eggs and were thrown to acquaint
the paraders more forcibly with the
very bad odOr of the Republican party.
The hall was literally packed, nine
tenthS of those present being voters.
Hon. G.. II. Benedict delivered a mas
terly argument, which was very much
appreciated, as the frequent applause
indicated. His proofs were all very
convincing, taken invariably from Re-
publican sources. All his points were
we'll taken. Hon. ID. ID. Williams fol-
lowed with some very good reasoning,
quoting only Republican authority. A
quotation from Knute Nelson's speech
caused furious cheering. The rally was
grand success and will result in many
votes for the Democratic ticket.

A NOBLE SACRIFICE.

The manly proposition of Sheriff
HUGH J. GRANT to withdraw from the
NewYork mayoralty contesti if Mr.. HEw-
TT would also withdraw, that union
Democratic candidate might be Sc
lected, will attract attention throughout
the country. Mr.. GRAMS prospects
of election as mayor of the lead
ing city of America are very bright.
but he is willing to sacrifice himself
that the national ticket may make its
success absolutely certain. This is true
blue Democracy, and Mr.. GRANT has
by this move made himself pOpu-
lar with Democrats from Maine
to California. There is but Que
thing left for Mr.. HEWITT to
do-withdraw or stand convicted of
hostility to the party. CLEVELAND's
majority in the city of New York will
probably reach $1,000 or 10000, but with
a union city ticket it would 60 to $1,000
or $4,000 and swamp any majority the
Republicans could send in from north
of Harlem bridge.

How the Republican Party Would
Tax Them to Bankruptcy.


A young man gets married, and to
better his condition removes to the dis
tant frontier. He purchases some lum-
Der, taxed 81 per 1000, and some shin
giles, taxed IS cents per 1000. and with
nails and screws, both taxed, he erects
an humble home for himself. TO admit
light he buys some plain window glass,
taxed Sc per cent. The wealthy man
uses plate glass, which is taxed only 81
per cent. A cheap carpet, taxed
81 per cent. is placed upon the
floor, and then cheap furniture, ev-
ery article of which is taxed, is
placed in the house. When all
things are ready the good wife prepares
their frugal meal. She spreads her
table cloth, taxed AZ per cent. and places
thereon plates. knives, forks, spoons,
cups and saueers, all taxed. They then
seat themselves in taxed chairs and pro-
coed to take their first meal under their
own roof. Before retiring for the night
the young man reads chapter of his
taxed Bible; they then go to bed and
draw over themselves their taxed
blankets and dream of the good time
when they will have around them all
the comforts of life, earned by their
own industry and economy. On the
following morning the young man
surveys his surroundings and finds it
necessary to sink well, which
he does, and places in it a
taxed pump, and hangs upon
it tin cup taxed 35 per
cent. To protect them from wild beasts,
he buys a gun taxed 45 per cent. To
give him timely notice of the approach
of wild animals, he gets a dog, and
places collar around his neck, taxed
35 per cent. He then supplies himself
with farming utensils. all taxed, and
begins the work of farmer. At the
end of the first year child is born, and
lie thanks God that at last he has i'm his
possession something that is not taxed,
and fiatters himself that the Republican
party allows him free babies, free
whisky and free tobacco. But wait a
moment. The nurse dresses the infant,
and. 10 and behold, it is taxed from head
to foot. With heavy taxes and short
crop. the young farmer finds he has
run behind. and that it is necessary to
place a mortgage upon his farm in
order to pay what he owes, and to give
him some ready money to meet house
hold expenses until his next cropi
ready for the market. This money is
obtained at a ruinous rate of interest
from an Eastern bank, having been
previously wrested from the Western
farmer by the greedy, avaricious manu-
facturerS who have grown rich by the
oppression practiced upon the Western
producers. The crop is again short.

ASPECTS OF THE CAMPAIGN.

The Democrats entered upon the cam
paign with some embarrassment from
the fact that they had made up an issue
that was unequivocal and calculated to
be Inexperienced in effect by large
class Of voters. 1t was a courageous
thing to do. to throw down the gauntlet
on the tariff question, when there was
not entire unanimity in the party, and
the popular tendency seemed Influenced
by the plausible superficial view. Under
the bold leadership of Mr.. CLEVELAND
the lines were drawn on tariff reduction
and reform. In a great measure this
required a new alignment of forces.
The passages from side to side have
been more numerous than for many
years. Republicans who favored lower
impOStS, and believed that the fostering
of individual interests had been done
at the expense of the many, have been
and are still coming over the line in
large numbers; and stragglers have
drifted the other way on account of high
tariff views. There were many timid
Democrats who feared that this essen
TALLY new departure would antagonize
too strongly the forces entrenched in
and fattening on special privileges.
They would palter and equivOcate, as
political platforms so often Go. But
this explicit stand threw upon the
management of the campaign an enOr-
nous educational work. Millions of
documents have been put in the hands
of voters all over the country, bearing
upon the great question of tariff re-
form. There has been surprising
eagerneSS among the industrial classes
for information on this subject, and it is
greatly to their credit that they have
been able to discern the sOphistry and
pretense of the beneficiaries of the self
ish system that protects the few. The
anticipation of the Republican leaders
that the vulpine cry of protection OPP
posed to free trade would stampede the
wage workers to their camp has proved
a delusion. The intelligent working
men have heard their cries and stood
firmly in the path of honest conviction.
1t is believed that the acceSSionS have
vastly Outnumbered the losses, not only
in the agricultural districts, but as well
in the great manufacturing centerS.
The hope of success has been followed
by the evidences that give assurance.
All along the lines there is brightness
and cheer. Every state that voted for
Mr.. CLEVELAND four years ago promises
to add its verdict of approval of his adj
ministratiOn, with an accession of two
or three other states. The closing heat
of the political race sees the Democratic
entries clearly in the lead, and adding
to the distance between the following.

speech was confined solely 10 tariff, and
his arguments were well presented and

principally state politics, and showed
Mr.. MERRIAM's Doodle record in the
most approved style. The speeches
were most enthusiastically received,
and the good seed sown will bring forth

special instance and request of
many farmers, whose circum-
stances were such that they
could not remain until evening APP
peared on the court house steps and de-

interest to the farmers. To say that his
remarks were we'll received would give

many of them shook hands with Mr..

house was filled to overflow, many from
neighbOring towns being in attendance.
M. V. G. Hunt, M. D.. president, intro

that he fully convinced his large
audience of his familiarity with the

Lucid Explanation of the Tariff
on Necessaries.
To the Editor of the Globe.
A farmer, an American manufacturer,
and an Englishman met when wheat
was worth 81 per bnshel. The farmer
had one bushel to sell, and the following
conversation occurred:
Farmer-What will you give me for my
wheat?
Englishman-One dollar.
American Manufacturer-One dollar.
FARMER 1t doesn' { seem to make any dif-
ference to me which one of you | sell to, as L
have to compete with the world.
Englishman-Not a particle. If / don't
buy American wheat shall buy Russian or
Indian. =
American Manufactures, like the Eng
I1shman. can buy wheat in the world S mar
ket for 81 per bushel. and am not foolish
enough to pay you any more for yours.
Farmer TO EngIishman-There is your
wheat. (Englishman passes over an Ameri-
can silver dollar.)
Farmer-You have some knives there for
so cents EACH believe.
Engiishman-Yes
Farmer will take one.
Uncle sam (prodded on by the Republican
party)-Hold on, this American manufact-
urer makes knives Just like those and he
wants 81 each for them.
Farmer-1 don't care. This American
manufacturer would give me, no more for
my wheat than this Englishman, so why
should buy my knife from him.
Uncle Sam-Because the Republican party
says you must. Now you can do as you please
about buying your knife i'll either of the fol-
lowing two ways: You can pay this Amer
lean 81 for this knife Or you can pay this
Englishman so cents for his and pay 80 cents
into the national treasury for the privilege OF
landing said knife in this country.
Farmer scratches his head; so cents, 90
cents-S1-S1-S1-toU Uncle sam. Where do
l get any benefit from this protective system?
Republican Party Through Uncle Sam
Wheat is protected 20 per cent. If you want
any foreign seed wheat you can have 1t by
paying 20 per cent more for it than you can
get American wheat for.
Farmer-DoI understand that protection
makes wheat l sell low and what buy high!
Uncle Sam-Those are the facts, but the
Republican party hopes you do not under
stand, for it would be bad for it if you did.
Farmer-And is this unfair taxation what
the Democrats are fighting so hard?
Republican Party-Yes, but we give you
free whisky, tobacco and oleomargarine to
com pensate you for what you lose on cloth
ing machinery, knives and such things as
that.
Farmer-You make me tired. You may
put me down as Democrat from now on. L
never understood this before.

been challenged when put forth by the

test. 1t did not, however. in 1856, 1868
or 1876. At each of those elections its

An additional guarantee of Democratic
ability to correct the mistakes of the Repub-

his candidates. No one questions the ability
of Eugene NJ. Wilson, nor is there taxpayer
in the state who does not confide in his
sterling honesty. With Wilson in the gov
ernor's chair, and honest old Daniel Buck as
president of the senate, there is no danger of
corrupt and extravagant legislation slipping
through without &c lection.
