Give Manufacturers a show

New York Herald.
Free traders told us last fall that iron
would never be cheap Entil the tariff was
removed. Iron is almost dirt cheap now
and the tariff has not been removed. -
Detroit Tribune.
Dirt cheap, is it2 Well, in one Of the
uptown shop windows you viii find this
sign, Bankrupt Stock This stock is
being sold dirt cheap" but our impress
sion is that that kind of dirt cheap does
not indicate general prosperity
What is wanted in this country is
business enough TO keep all the mills
and furnances going That will ensure
plenty Of work and good wages for the
laboring class But you can't have these
desirable results until America has the
whole world for market. And you can {
have the world for market under the
present picayune policy Of "a Republican
party.
Give American manufacturers a fair
show, and if there is anybody in creation
who can produce better article for the
same price we should like to borrow Sam
Wellers pair o patent double million

Or the $40 persons committed to the
Eastern Penitendary during the year
1888. 40S Of them were entirely ignorant
of any trade or occupation whereby they
might earn a living, save the simplest
kind Of unskilled labor, and more than
one.half Of the men were drifting about,
idle and unemployed at the time of their
arrest. Notwithstanding The boasted
protection for the American worlingman,
Pennsylvania has more squalor, crime
and starvation to the square inch than
any other state In the union.

Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Three years ago in the United States
Senate Benjamin Harrison delivered one
Of his most violent phillippies against
President Cleveland for removing Mrs.
De la Hunt and appointing a "Demo-
cratic worker" postmaster of a small
place in Indiana. Senator Harrison dwelt
upon her husbands service in the war,
his subsequent death in consequence
thereof and said: III there was in all
this country one person who by reason Of
her widowhood, who by reason of the
sacrifice she had made in giving the arm
on which she leaned to her country ser
vice was entitled to have her reputation
guarded jealously and by all men who
represented the Government, it was
Isabelle De la Hunt, whose appoint
ment he secured from Postmaster
General Hatton. Harrison is presi-
President now, and it might be expected
that one Of his first official acts would be
to reinstate Mrs De la Eunt. He re-
moved Clevelands appointee, indeed, but
instead of reappointing the soldiers
widow, whose story, in his own words.
carries its own pathos and its own in
dignation, he appointed the chairman of
the Republican committee of the county.
Harrison's sympathy was nothing but
political veneering."

CHANGE Kyne to Cotton and see how
the editorial of the Morning News Of
May 2S fits the present case This is a
case of the chickens coming home to
roost. The News said:
The report of the committee Of the
Board Of Education on the ease of Mr.
Kyne is moderate and reasonable. They
find that Mr.. Kyne is technically pro.
yided with the necessary freehold quail
fcation, but only technically. He is not
regular, substantial and RESPONSE
BILE property holder within the
requirements of the statute, but
has acquired little bit of land
simply in order TO enable him to take his
seat If the qualification of being a
property holder is worth anything at all,
it certainly is worth preserving in it's
substance and integrity and In this hon
est sense technical qualification is not
sufficient. The committee assign other
reasons for excluding Mr.. Kyne, but this
one is sufficient. Mr.. Kyne should have
the law changed or else he should become
real, solid and substantirl freeholder,
holding property as an investment and
for ordinary business purposes, IL he
wants to sit in the Board OF Education.

In a card to the Morning News ].
Eldridge Pierce takes great pains TO deny
several statements of minor Importance
in our report Of his very peculiar real es
tate and political deal with F. B. Cotton.
He tries to deny the $4,000 mortgages.
but he cannot do that successfully
against the court records, which
we examined and published.
He may have rushed to
the recorders ofiee hastily to satisfy the
$500 second mortgage after the publiea-
tion Of our article. Even IL that were
true it would not make his case any
better. According to his own con
fession, Mr.. Pierce. as an officer Of
loan association. borrowed more
money on his own property than it was
worth. 1t will not assist the case Of Mr..
Pierce as an honest ofaesr, handling the

AFTER calling for some more PRO

Five thousand dissatisfied miners in

political wheel against the party which

American industry. whether agricul
tural, mining or manufacturing. That

the administration thinks 1t safe to delay
the decision until after the fall elections.
why. that ends It. The Press believes
delay In this matter is dangerous, and
proposes to call attention TO 1t until
action is taken. The more Democratic
organs howl against 1t the more certain
the Press is that the claim is right and
Just and should be allowed
This is the sort Of craftsmanship the
Republican party has descended to. The

TIE Mayors proposed veto Of the act
to appoint piuAoing inspector shows
settled policy on the part Of the Mayor
to run the city in the interest Of the Re
publican party. All of the appointments
made by the Mayor have been from that
party. The entire police force is Repub-
hcan. Almost every Democrat was
discharged when Mayor Harrington took
posse ssion Of his office All Of the
additional officers allowed by Council
have been Republicans. The physicians
appointed to the Board Of Health have
been from the Republican party. In fact
the policy Of the Republicans has been TO
claim and take possession Of everything
in sight But now when there was a
single chance, among hundreds, to
appoint Democratic official the
Mayor promptly vetoed the ordinance.
There has bees no discussion of the
merits OF the bill whatever. But II has
been amended 40 that it is now accept

J. E. PIERCE says he has been paying
taxes on 1900 on the Trenton Place
house that he suddenly transferred to f.
B. Cotton. The county assessment is
81, 900, the city assessment 81 1000. In a
contest between the public records
and Mr.. Pierce we admit that
we prefer the records. Mr Pierce
viii have to revise his methods Mr..
Pierce's assertions and epithets are good
in their way, but the public records are
against him and "bold bluff" will not
avail in this case. If Mr. Pierce
has any explanation which viii
explain these real estate and
political transactions he might trot them
out without the lie embellishments
used so freely in his card An attempt
to put the lie on statements made from
the public records is an uncanny tasl,
aud Mr. Pierce has not been successful
in the attempt.

In this discussion concerning the eligi-
bility Of f. B. Cotton as member Of the
City Council, there seems to be little
blame to be attached TO Mr.. Cotton. He
seems to have acted under the advice Of
Mr. Pierce and Mr. Pierce seems to know
more about placing mortgages than about
the qualifications Of member Of the City
Council. His knowledge in other channels
does not seem equal to his zeal. At any
rate, Mr., Pierce is doing all the "expla-
nation" and Mr.. Cotton is enjoying rest
amid the glorious palms Of the tropics.

WE admit that we prefer the public
records to Mr.. Pierces word. The public
record has two unsatisied mortgages
amounting to $2, 800 on the piece OF
property transferred to Mr.. Cotton, which
property is worth, at it's highest valua-
tion, but $4,000 Mr. Pierce says that
the 5000 second mortgage is satisfied
The record did not read that way yester-
day. Even II the mortgage had been
satisfied It merely shows that Mr.. Pierce
was badly scared because Of the publica.
tion of a transaction which might be
difficult to explain to the City
Building and loan Association. II
is certain that small piecC
Of property was laboring under
mortgages for more than It was worth
and that it was suddenly relieved after
attention was directed to 1t. Suppose
Mr. Pierce offers some explanation Of that
transaction. He might do SO with
little more calmness and precision OF
expression too. To handy epithets may
seem sufficient answer, but epithets are
usually the refuge OF guilty man. This
