WHY NOT?

Secretary Blaine and President Harrison are out in plain and explicit terms in favor of free trade with all American nations. The question will at once occur to every sensible man, ii with the American why not with the European, Asiatic and Australian people, lift would be good thing with our neigh bors. would it not be better ifcxtended to all the world beside, And if we can afford it with one why not with an natiou-:-L Mem phis Commercial
 Certainly. If it is to the adyan- tage of the people to allow all ar ticlcs of common necessity to be i'm ported from Mexico and all Central and South American countries free of the tax imposed for the protcc- ton of manufacturers, why would it not be still greater advantage to the people to allow all such articles to be imported from all countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia duty free, or as nearly so as may be compatible with the actual needs of the Government? If the removal of the protective tariff on quinne, and the placing of that article on the free list, resulted in the reduction of the price of it to the consumer from s5 and sometimes SC and S7--to 75 cents per bottle, would it not be a still greater benefit to the people generally to at least reduce the duty on all articles of common necessity to the actual needs of the Govern ment.
 If either of these things would be to the advantage Of the people and it is practicable to do it. why was nothing said about it in the L. L.. State platform? It is purely ques- ton of, taxation, and we do not recollect that the subject of taxation was ever before ignored in party platform.

MT.

The Anti-Democratic fragments have always been stronger in NeHa- da than any county in the State-if we except the large majority in White county for Chas. E. Cunningham for Governor few years ago; and hence 1t is that these two counties have q "double dose" on the present Union Labor or Anti-Democratic State Ticket-and the Democracy there may find it hard work to carry these counties at the approaching election.
 We do not know how the Democ- racy is organized in White, or what sort of local ticket may be pnt to the front there. but we chance to know the party is well organized in Ncya- da county, with strong and in every way frst-class Legislative and county ticket.
 For the Legislature, they have Hon. Eugene F.. White. formerly member from that county, and one of the most popular men i'll the State before the people; because known not only to be an able but pure man. He can hardly fail to he elected, as such failure would be not only disgrace to the county but q reproach to the whole State.
 And for sheriff and clerk they have the present popular and ctii- cient incumbents-Ed Hood and John Portis with an entire ticket made up of about equally good material; which will be backed by Hon..C. C. Hamby, of Prescott, for the State Senate from that District, composed of Hempstead and Nevada -Hamby being tower of strength, alike in personal ability, purity of character, and political fidelity.
 So altogether the Straight Democ- racy there is by no means hopeless of success. notwithstanding Prescott has two popular men on the Union Labor ticket-John NJ. Iiltman and Q. $. Jones-with the double-ba reled Mugwump Postmaster to back them, in the way of purchasing ne gro votes under the promise of q mule for each Block of. Five. '
 Of course the Straight Republi- cans there will have no ticket, which will leave them to the free choicf of selecting the best material from among political opponents; and how any decent and fair and square Re publican can vote for the Mugwump or Anti-Democratic ticket, which in its formation, both State and Coun- ty, totally ignored all Republican help, is beyond njecture, from any honorable standpoint of honorable manhood.
 Hence we appeal to all honorable and square and fair Republicans of Nevada county as elsewhere through out the State, to vote under the present cominations. the Straight Democratic Ticket, both State and County, and thus set an example of devotion to organized political prin- ciple which may hereafter enable Us to build up a Republican party in the State that shall command the respect and support of men of prin- ciple, both white and black Lit- In RnoL Rnnubliaa n

CLEARING UP A SERIOUS
 CHARGE.

The PIcAYCxE Is sinformed that cer-
 tain respectable Republicans in this
 county are under the impression that
 the Democratic nominee for the Leg
 islature is in some way responsible
 for the appointment of the incapable
 L. l.. census enunerators for this county. and for that reason are hcsi- tating to support him in preference to Boss Grayson's $ nominee. They are right. Unless the Democratic nominee can satisfy them that he had nothing to do with the appointment of these cnumerators, they should vote against him. In the interest of efficient, prompt and faithful public service. it would be their duty to do so. But this writer can enter stout denial of the charge. About the first of February last the Demo cratic nominee for the Legislature was appointed special agent of the census, and assigned to certain work He completed his duties and retired from the service on the 10th of May, perhaps before the enumer- ators were appoiuted. He had no authority to make appointments him. self. and did not recommend q single one of the appointees. They are all Union Laborites, bat they were ap- pointed by the Republican super visor, John W. Howell, of Hot Springs, and in all probability upon the recommendation of the illustri- ous boss who sent word to his round- CTS to watch the niggcrs.
 The Democratic nominee for the Legislature did make some recom- mendations, but they did no good. Among other capable and trust worthy applicants whom he rccom- mcnded for appointment was NIT. j. 1 L. Hurst. of Rosston; and that gen tlcman was appointed. His commis- sion wa, issued and mailed to him al Prescott 1t reached the Prescott poStoiIicc. That information was given out by one of the postmaster, sons. But in the Prescott postof- fee the commission struck snag. About the time it reached the boss postotlice the boss received positive information that MT. Hurst had cX- pressed his intention to vote the Democratic ticket at the next clec- ton. That was fatal to the appoint ment The commission. instead of being forwarded to MT. Hurst, was returned to Supervisor Howell with instructions to cancel it, and appoint Mr. Alex Brown in NIT. Hurst stead. A few days later NIT. Hnrst's son applied at the Prescott postof- flee for the commission, and was in formed that it. was not there. He tclcgraphed to Supervisor Howell to know where it was, and was informed in answer by telegraph that NIT, Brown had the commission and the work.
 We wish it distinctly understood, however, that nothing in the begin ming of this article is intended to apply to NIT. Brown. MT. Brown belongs to the |. l.. party, it is true, but we know him to be capable and reliable man. He is well qualified for the duties of cen sus cnumerator, and we have no doubt that he will make a thorough and correct count of the people of his district.
