President Cieveland's COmmendabl
Views on Trusts and MOnopolies.

President Cleveland's Commendable
Views on Trusts and Monopolies.
Our manufactures yield fortunes never
dreamed OF by the fathers of the Republic.
The gulf between employers and employed is
constantly widening and classes are rapidly
forming, one comprising the very rich and
powerful, while in another are found the toiling
poor.
Our working-men will reasonably
demand cheaper means OF living in
their homes, with freedom for themselves and
their children from the doom of perpetual
servltude, and an open door to their ad
vanceme mt beyond the / mits of the laboring
class.
The foregoing extracts from Presi-
dent Cleveland's message form the
text of vicious, Illogical Republican
attack on the Chief Executive, and a
presumptuous insult to thoughtful
men of every shade of political belief.
The propositions submitted by the
President are based on conditions as
they exist to-day in all portions of the
country. Monopolies, assisted by the
Government. which levies taxes for
their benefit in the shape of so-called
protectives tariffs. are everywhere
uniting their interests in the form of
trusts and other unholy combines;
production is reduced. not to meet the
wants of competitive market but to
increase the profits of manufacturers;
and, following closely upon the cleo
ton of Mr.. Harrison, comes the news
of the suspension of cotton-mills and
mining industries in the Eastern and
Middle States. Every step taken in
recent years has, in fact. had a ten

CHAPTER ".
THE STORMISG OF FREDERICKSBURG,


Winter was late that year, the sun shone
on those Virginia hills with the warmth of
a Northern Indian summer, though the
nights Were crisp and cold. The dawn of
the 18th of December had hardly broken in
the clear gray sky than an orderly sum-
moned Harry Winthrop from his tent couch
to repair to the headquarters of his COM
handing officer.
81 have sent for you, Winthrop" said
Colonel Lichfield, gravely, " on a matter of
life and death; for this dispatch must reach
General Burnside, who has succeeded Nc
Clellan and now lies in front of Fredericks-
burg, within twenty four hours"
And you wish me to carry it, sir?"
81 do. 1t is a service of no mean danger,
which 1 dare not intrust to a younger sol
der. You have sixty miles to ride over q
billy country with the woods full of the
enemy. Be wary lad ; do not needlessly run
into danger, and above every thing, de-
liver your dispatches into the Generals
own hands,"
And start at once, sir2"
Yes, without even an orderly. Say, are
you well mounted!'
"No better horse than mine in the regi-
ment, Colonel" was the proud reply. "My
father bred him from the best strain of the
Blue Grass lands of Kentucky"
"Well, you will have to try his mettle
to-day; so, now, be off, and luck go with
your
There is nothing so inspiriting to soldier
as being employed on special duty, with the
conviction that he has been selected for it
as a compliment to his skill and daring. Ac-
cordingly Harry rode away with light
heart and a longing desire for further dis
tinction, though occasionally thoughts of
home would fit like shadows across the
bright landscape of his present prospects.

fathers of tho Ran,hl;o

facturers never dreamed of by the
fathers of the Republic
Mr.. Cleveland's second proposition
that 1.-The gulf between employers and
the employed is constantly widening"
is beyond dispute. Under the exist
ing methods of monopolistic combina-
tion. the Industrious mechanic or
laborer who has, by industry and fru-
gality, succeeded in saving small
amount of capital, can not enter into
competition with members of trusts"
and in the nature of things he is COM
PEELED to work for others as long as
he lives. knowledge of this fact is in
itself sufficient to dull the ambition of
working-men and increase the multi
tude of the toiling poor.
The third proposition is the natural
conclusion suggested by the self
evident truth of it's two predecessors.
Taxed for the benefit of organized cap
ital, prevented by unholy combina-
tions from becoming independent,
something must soon be done to secure
for the laboring classes the freedom
enjoyed by their fathers. No reason
able man desires to rob the inventor
or manufacturer of his legitimate
profits, but every patriotic citizen
should be broad enough in his views
to denounce class-rule, whether it is
exercised by capitalists or trades
unions.
Capital organized in the form of
trusts and uncontrolled by legal re-
strictions is nothing more nor less
than mild form of anarchy, and has
tendency to breed Anarchists of the
Most type. Mr.. Cleveland has done
we'll to call attention to this great po-
litical truth, and, by restoring to the
public domain thousands of acres of
lands granted to railroad schemers,
has proved himself to be man en-
titled to the respect of well-meaning
citizens OF every shade of political be-
lief. He has during his term of office
done nothing to arouse 1.-The basest
passions of our nature" as Republican
scribblers assert. He has simply
pointed out, in dignified way, the
dangers threatening the welfare of the
country.-G. w. Weippiert, in Amer

Republican Fine-Workers.

The complaint of Funk & Wagnalls,
publishers of the Prohibition organ
called the Voice. charges upon Quay,
Clarkson and Dudley the theft of that
journals subscription lists, for pu--
poses of the recent campaign. The
exposure covers nine columns of the
Voice, and alleges that Dudley, Clark
son and Quay bribed employees of the
Voice with money, and promised them
positions under the Government if
Harrison should win. These allega-
tions, if brought home, would have
two good effects. IL is we'll. in the
first place. that many proofs of Dud-
ley's villainy should be forthcoming
in order that the people should aban-
don the idea that Dudley is prosecuted
for political reasons. He has been a
of the Republican party, like Har-
rison, Sherman, Hoar, Boutwell, and
the whole canting tribe, have honored
him for it. The more valiant he grew
as briber and suborner the farther
back he walked into the council cham
bers of the party whose corruption
funds he disbursed. 1t is well, in the
second place. that the gap should
widen between the Republican and
Prohibition parties. If che Voice
should convict Quay, Clarkson and
Dudley of the crime now charged il
would be difficult for the bribers to
stay in authority for more than one
term. The corruption which has set
in is too gross and palpable to be toll
Grated for the twenty years of which
Republican bards are singing.-Chi.

The appeal was successful. The wounded
man raised himself painfully on his arm,
and Grey, quickly selling the opportunity,
led the horse to him and helped him to the
saddle; then, lightly springing behind him,
he held the dropping form of his friend till
