New England 10 the Rescue.


The policy of the Democrats in
Congress could receive no more
hearty tribute than the expressions
in the platforms of the Massachusetts
and New York Republicans.
In 1888 the Republicans at Chi
cago declared that rather than sur
render any part of the protective
tariff they would abolish the entire
system ofinternal revenue. Yet the
Republicans of New York, while
they reafirm the Republican plat
form in 1888, demand the extension
of American trade, and denounce
trusts as conspiracies against the
people "having for their object the
restriction of tradc and the enhanc-
ing of the cost of the necessaries of
life" They. applaud Mr.. Dcpew
when he says that the surplus must
bereduced by removing unnecessary
burdens, and when he declares that
we must find an outlet for our pro-
ducts in competitive foreign mar
kets.
The Massachusetts Republicans
are little more outspoken. They
instruct their senators and represen-
tatives to use every exertion to
bring about reduction of the sur
plus revenue; "to support a thorough
and equitable revision of the tariff
so as to adapt the protection which
it affords to the changed business
conditions affecting New England
Industries in common with those OF
the rest of the country;" which is
as frank an Endorsement of Cleve-
lands Message and the Mills Bill as
VIC could expect so soon after the
election of 1888.
With these ideas doing their per-
feet work in New England and the
east, the Republicans will find also
in the west that the Irvine Trust
has been enlightening the minds OF
the people and undermining the
system of spoliation known as the
war tariff
While these diverging views are
becoming more and more evident in
the Republican organizations, every
public expression shows that the
Democrats are more heartily united
than ever before; all of which promi

We are glad that the Democrats
are hanging onto their convictions
In the Virginia, the Ohio and the
Pennsylvania conventions the cries
of their platforms are: The many
must not be taxed to support the
few. Monopolies are curse to the
Republic. The party that favorl
trusts and kill competition is not the
party OF the people and must be
sent to the rear.
Well, that is wholesome truth
and that kind of truth is bound to
win its way

The Republican Executive Com
mittee Ofthis county have called a

The call is a deceptive one, as it
appeals to all people without regard
to party to participate with them,
to consider the aserious condition

this State, where they voted the

1t is enough to know that it is a

Democrats not to be gulled by the
deceptive call for this convention,
published in the Republican papers
of this county. Have nothing to do
with it, Democrats.
The Republicans may call con-

firm hold of this great fact, and that
is, the Democratic party can neither

The Tide of Tariff Reform is ON
the Flood.

The Tide Of Tariff Reform is ON
the Flood.
We judge from the platforms
which the Democrats have endorsed
in State conventions that the pro-
tective victory of last autumn has
not demoralized them in the slight
est.
They-it may be as we'll to say
we-were most Internationally
whipped at that time, but it hasn't
changed our conviction that we
were right.
The common sense of the people
may be blinded for a time and
panic may be created-an old trick
of politics-by which the wrong
candidate gets the Office.
But in the long run the people
make the crooked things straight
again, and that "long run" will ter
inmate in 1892, when tariff reform
will become an established fact.
The Democratic half of our tel
million voters have been consistent
believers in the genius and enter
prise of American manufacturers
and determined defenders of their
rights
The home market never has and
never will satisfy their demand.
We have the skilled labor, we have
the machinery-or if we haven't we
can make it. We have the resources
of magnificent country to draw
from; unsurpassed mill sites, an i'm
mense labor population with brains
in their fingers, who can produce
larger results in ten hours q day
than the same class in other coun-
tries can produce in twelve or fif-
teen.
We have therefore a right to be
represented in every quarter of the
globe, and to carry our wares with
out let or hindranee to every coun-
try where purchasers are likely to
be found.
A tariff which limits our activity
and constructs our efforts is, there
fore, hostile to our national ambi-
ton. 1t ties our hands behind our
backs and disables us in the grand
fight for wealth. The party which
adopts it as policy represents an
economical blunder.
During the last five months
great many Republican business
men have come to see this. They
have learned the lesson by hard
luck, by diminishing profits and
threatened bankruptcy.
The tide of opinion has turned
and if the elections of last year had
been postponed to this November
the Democrats would have been
elected by large and decisive ma
jority.
IL Is 4 matter OF dollars and cents.
The manufacturer favors the party
which gives him the best chance to
make money, and the wage Garner
throws his influence on that side
which insures the steadiest and the
largest income.
Governor Ames voted for Mr..
Harrison. He made a mistake.
Mr.. Harrison's party is pledged to
make raw materials dear. The Gov
ernor says plainly that unless he
can buy raw materials at cheaper
rate, he can see nothing but disaster
in the future for his business.

HassIer,s WOODEN Mills al Rim
ley Destroyed by Fire.

Jackson Herald.
Between IL and 1 o'clock Sunday
morning the wooden mills were dis
covered to be afire. 1t wasn't a
great while after the: alarm was
given until nearly everybody about
town was on the ground, but of no
avail. The building was too hot for
anybody to enter and it had to go.
The wool house on the same lot was
also burned. The interior of the
building was SO saturated with
grease from wool that the fire was
the hottest ever witnessed in this
section. Had it not been for heavy
rain fall few hours previous and
the dense fog then prevailing, it is
hard to conjecture where the fire
would have stopped. AS it was the
glass in buildings $50 yards distant
was heated. DO
The building and its machinery
probably cost not far from $4,000
twenty years ago. 1t was built by
the Hassler Bros, and was owned
at the time of its destruction by J..
j. S. Hassler, now of Washington.
IF we mistake not MIR. Hassler
offered, few months ago, the prop
erty at $4,000, which would there
fore be his loss, less the value of the
lot. Part of house pattern belong
ing to Ed. Atkinson, of Racine, and
Charley Starcher's buggy were lost
in the building. The loss to the town
and community is considerable, as
the mills would probably have been
operated next season.
The origin of the fire is thought
to have been from matches careIcssly
handled by intruders who had tenn
porarly appropriated the building
for gambling or drinking purposes.
Early in the night men were heard
there in dispute.

No Gains i'm The south.
Kansas City Times.

Kansas City Times.
William Malone is getting further
away from the minutest chance he
ever had of carrying Virginia. No
accessions to the ranks of his Re
pubIicanism are perceptibIe and a
number of quarreIs are on foot be-
tween Republican factions.
Republicanism has nothing in
principle that the people of the
south want.
1t exists there solely on what of
the negro vote it retains and on
greed for federal Office. The two
main elements of the party in the
north and west, the protected man.
ufaeturers and the pension raisers,
are absent in the south.
The sentiment there is almost ten
to one for tariff, reform, and while
southern taxpayers have cheerfully
admitted that the union soldiers
should be literally pensioned, it is
too much to expect them to shout
for rewards to the dishonorably dis
charged and service pension which
"knocks an end out of the treasury"
The south has been educated since
Jefferson to view with reluctance
the socialistic growth of federal
power.
Nearly every young man able to
think and talk has deeply drank of
the lessons of Jefferson and Calhoun.
The collection of vast revenues and
their disbursement in charities to
special interests is to him function
of the central government wholly
without constitutional warrant, and
we'll calculated to subvert the sys-
TEN applied by the fathers. He
sees that the Republican party
theory is to pass laws for a lobby
and get the lobby's political adhe-
sion in return, and to carry on the
same sort of corrupt trade with
special classes who want privileges
or appropriations.
Leave out the bloody shirt TRADES
and even then Republican gains in
the south are impossible except
through some temporary factional
or personal fight among Democrats.
Every principle which has been
taught there is opposed to Republi-
can finance, Republican socialism,
Republican nursing of privileged
classes and Republican contempt for
constitutional restrictions. The ex-
Perience of reconstruction days and
the struggle to maintain decent
government against the pillaging
ignorance of bad elements have
taught the south what reckless
demagogic politics do for common
wealth. Before their eyes Republi-
can ascendancy in national affairs is
pursuing the same course of plum
dering the Taxpayers for the corrup-
ton of special interest and hungry
demagogucs,
The Republican party has no fol-
lowing on principle in Virginia or
any other part of the south. Office
seekers and the deluded negro vote
are the Republican party of the
south Whether Mr. Harrison
adopts a brand new southern policy
or adheres to the old one makes lit
tie difference. The educated and
property holding people of the south
can not but hold in adherence
the,practice of government applied
by Mr. Harrison's party.

1t makes a good bit of difference
whose OK is gored to the average
Republican in this section. The
West Virginia Radical who could
find whole volume of epithets with
which to belabor the Contest Com
mittee for its very just decision that
the votes of Virginia negroes are
not certain factors to elect West
Virginia Governor, are as silent as
the grave over the determination of
their brethren to steal two United
States Senators in Montana by
throwing out the vote of precinct
because at that precinct only two
commissioners held the election.
Buff a Radical became consistent,
he would cease to be Radical
Hder.

The Republican journals attempt
ed to carry the campaign in. Ohio
for Foraker by heaping vile SANDER
and personal abuse upon his oppo-
nent, Mr.. Campbell. Mr.. Campbell
was about to institute legal pro-
ceedings against some of the leading
Foraker organs. When they found
that he was thus going to defend
his honor and good name they COM
menced to rush out in glowing
headlines, making the most humble
apologies for their villianous at
tempts to SANDER him. 1t appears
that the Republican press, generally,
have been pretty fully occupied in
making apologies to Mr.. Campbell
during the past week, as all of the
charges made against him by Fora
ker, and the opposition are shown
to be absolutely false and without
foundation. If the extreme par
tizanship of the Republicans of
Ohio will lead them to elect man
who will attempt, as Foraker has
in this instance, to boost himself
into Office by foully' and basely
slandering and classifying another,
it will be blasting disgrace to the
Buckeye State and surprise to the
better class of people generally.

those of the southern portion of

The General PoIllIcaI outlook.

There is no break in the Demo
cratic ranks anywhere nor dis.
cordant note in their utterances
of principles. The outlook is GER
tainly fair for the Democracy. The
predictions of the enemies of the
party that it would recede from its
advanced position on tariff reform
and adopt an evasive temporizing
policy have come to naught. The
party is, if possible, more united
and determined on this question to-
day than it was a year ago. Wher-
ever a State convention has been
held this year, the voice of the De-
mocracy is heard proclaiming its
mistaken allegiance to that funda-
mental principle of equitable and
impartial taxation upon which rest
the industrial interest of the nation.
On all questions the Democratic
party presents the same even, un-
broken front. 1t uniformly and
strenuously opposes all usurpations
and unwarrantable extension of
federal power, tending to destroy
the rights of the State and central
ize the control of Congressional
elections in Washington, contrary
to the very spirit of the constitu-
ton. The Republican leaders are
scheming to subvert the liberties of
the people by assuming control of
national elections. On every point
where popular rights are involved,
and the vital interests of the masses
are at stake, the Democracy stands
squarely on the side of the people
and the constitution. On the ques-
ton of temperance the Democratic
party everywhere is united in the
defence of common sense and effec-
tive regulation of the liquor traffic.
The outlook in the State elections
is bright. In New York the party
looks forward to sure victory with
it's popular rights. In Ohio, the
stronghold of Republication, Fora
ker is doomed to ignominios defeat.
In Virginia, Malone, the choice of
the Harrison administration is pub
licly repudiated by the better ele-
mont of his party, and in many
other States the Republicans are
badly disunited. On the question
of protection, the party in power
cannot agree with each other.
New England quarrels with the
Northwest as to the true scope of
protection, and Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania are opposed to Massachusetts
and Iowa on the same subject.
Protected and overgrown monopo-
lies, which may be sustained by the
Republicans of one section are alb
horrent to those of another.
The difference between the par
ties is that the Democrats are fight
ing for principle, the Republicans
for plunder.-Regtster.
