Dudley Warner. Julian hawthorne
and Grace Greenwood use violet
colored ink when they write. The
same writer announces his belief that a
large number Of new spaper editors
also use ink Of a violet shade. This IS
all very well. but we hope the helpless
hue Of the ink is not to be held respons-
ible for the insipid vagaries OF some OF

REPUBLICAN HOME INDUSTRIES. -
During the last Presidential campaign
an appeal was made TO every manuidc-
iurer IN the United States precisely on
this ground. He was told that If the
Democrats were continued in power the
tariff was likely to be reduced and the
profits of the manufacturers thereby
lessened. This was confirmed by large
numbers Of the Democrats themselves,
who claimed that the people were over
taxed far beyond the needs Of
the Treasury and in excess OF the
funds required for an economical
administration of the government
and that this excessive taxation
went into pockets already plethora
with such exactiOBs. The manuiac-
turers responded with great iiOerality
and hundreds of Thousands Of dollar,
were collected from them and thrown
into the canvass. lt Is well known
fact that but for such appeals ana the
money thus raised the present admins
tration would not nave come into
power. # came IN on that issue and on
that alone.-.JOurnm Of Commerce.
The fact that Messrs. Quay, Clarkson
and Dudley have been IN close con-
ference with General Malone during
the past few days indicates clearly that
