If it were not SO common to find Demo-
Gratis censuring and decrying any and all
Republicans In high place it would seem
remarkable that President Harrison should
be spoken of as he is by them. 1t would be
remarkable because of the real and striking
Democracy. Harrison has shown himself
man among men for more than thirty years,
while Democracy's pet, Cleveland, has
never shown by anything he has himself
done that he as man amounts to anything
at all. Harrison is a lawyer of first-class
position and ability. He is an able man in
the courts. He has held his own with the best
lawyers in the country in great cases. He

ton. When the civil war broke ont he was
aware of it, and acted like a man. He

He rose to the rank of q brigadier-general

war was over he returned TO his legal prac-
tice, and took rank and held it among the
very first lawyers. not only in his State, but
In the Union. He also showed the first or,
der of ability as political debater. On
the stump he met fearlessly the strongest
men In the opposite party, and exhibited
power which they felt. and flied his
friends with pride and enthusiasm. Now
how about the man that Democracy loves
TO honor? He did not know we had a war.
He did NOT know the Union was in dan
ger. nor did he know that his Southern
friends needed help. A great big. grown

In the early part of Harrison's admins
tration Democratic newspapers were ire
quently haunting Republicans with the
assertion that Republican orators promised
bushel and corn to so cents if Harrison
was elected They would have been glad
if prices had gone TO the bottom and stay ed
there. These same papers are now dis-
mayed at the prices prevailing for both
cereals, and are as mum as oysters on the
subject. Republican promises seldom fail
to materialize. although the arbitrary law
of supply and demand may have more to
do with the present appreciation OF prices
than HarrisOn's administration. Yet had
prices remained low these papers would
have held the Republican party RESPONSE

The loss to our manufacturing interests
by the delay in passing the tariff bill may
be forcibly illustrated In the statement
that during the month of July there were
$40 more of foreign textile fabrics than in
the same month last year. These goods
were naturally hurried to this country in
anticipation of the passage of the Mckinley
bill. Now, if these fabrics had been made
in this country. by American machinery,
not less than forty thousand of our own
laborers would have been employ ed. whose
wages would have amounted to nearly
S2.000,OOO. That much may therefore be
considered lost to American labor by
this increase of imports in O single month.

1t is evident, in view of this letter, that
the Indiana Democratic platform commit
tee intended to "sOlemnly declare that
the electoral vote of Indiana was almost
purchased for Cleveland and Thurman by
the most flagrant crimes agains the ballot
box ever perpetrated in, an American COM
monwealth." But it is all the same. The
public knows what it meant. and will give
1t credit for cOnfessinR to one of the most
outrageous attempts to debauch the ballot

An Act the Democrats Fought.

ALBANIA constitution (Dem.)
So long as the price of silver declined the
purchase of Indian and Egyptian wheat
and cotton became easier. and those coun-
tries had us at II disadvantage in the COM
petition, but now the cost of their products
rises with the rise of silver. which is the
money that must be used In buying from
them. The cost of our competitors goods
being raised, ours. which are of superior
quality. enjoy an advance in proportion to
the extent of their competition. 1t is a
happy result that the act which relieves
the home money market, by bringing the
amount of currency nearer the needed vol
ume. also puts US on vantage ground with
respect to the exchange with foreign
nations.
