IT'S TRUE IMPORT.

| The great question of tariff
which agitates the country in
connection with McKinley's name,
has elected comments from every
nook and corner of the land. That
it is a measure in direct antago.
nism to the enunciated principles
of Democracy; that it does not
meet the approval Of the toiling
masses; that its ultimate inten-
tions are the perpetuity of the
power that has brought it lnte
existence; that it is q compensa-
tion in return for election
"boOdle;;" that it is to be made
the future lever to boast its
authors again into place and
authority, ifit can be utilized,
have been clearly portrayed,
Notwithstanding the broad and
untsnable assertions that it is for
revenue, and its protective plati.
tudes are in the interests of home
productions and the fostering OF
American industries, no one who
carefully scans its provisions, will
for o single instant concede. lis
whole tendency is il the interest
ofthe manufacturing corporations
in order to increase their revenues
and profits for the express purpose
to secure means to purchase the
next election at the polls.
The Maine Democracy, undis-
mayed by long years OF defeat,
planting themselves with heroic
fortitnde on the principles of their
party; still hopeful of the eventual
triumph of enumerated doctrines
that are rapidly attaining national
ascendancy, boldly announce that
the triumph of Harrison and his
party was due to corrupt methods,
aad the open purchase Of foaters
In New York and Indiana.
They further announce in their |
recent platform: "Slnce his |
accession to power, he Harrison) |
has shielded the bribsrs, reward.
eel the men who furnished the |
corruption funds, and muzzled the |
press, by subsidizing its editors
with large Offices, and the Re-
publican leaders in Congress pro-
pose to enact q tariff act not for
revenue, not even for protection,
Ont as a job TO procure means
with which to purchase the next
election at the polls"
This bold dsnsanciation Of the
Administration on this vital ques-
len, which has become the great
slogan of Democracy, plainly
indicates that 1t will be the para
mount issue in the next presi-
lentlal campaign, and the arraign.
nent of the Republicans on this
eyenue measure, is undeniably
'orne cut by every step in the
'rogress and eventual adoption OF
he Mckinley tariff bill, by means
shich are a disgrace to modern
eglslatien in a great republic.
The Senate ls now wrestling
nth the problem, and while some
notifications may be inserted in
ertain clauses of the House hill,
/ can scarcely be hoped that body
1ill materially deviate from the :
me marked cut, and will further
ater to the spirit which en-.
ourages robbery and help In
rider that required "boodle" may
erpetuate Republican power and

If "ALLIANCE-MAN" in this
weeks New Era will go back and
read over again our article of last
week a little more carefully he will
discover that much of his scrawl in
the Era is irrelevant" The STAN
DARD has never declared any war
upon the alliance, save in its degener-
ate capacity of secret political or
ganization. We have specifically
stated in these columns before that
democratic members of the alliance
have perfect right to exercise their
full strength in the democratic cons
ventions, but no secret order of demo-
Gratis, republicans and mugwumps in
general has right to six things" for
a democratic convention in a star
chamber from which many straight
democrats are excluded. We want TO
say to the members of the alliance, or
whOmever else we may criticise at
any time, that if they feel aggrieved
over any ofour incong1uvial remarks,
our columns are open to them for re-
ply. We'have as little malice in our
nature, we think, as the aveage NOR
tai, and it is our earnest purpose to
deal fairly and justly with all men
and all measures. We seek no adj
vantages or privileges we are not
willing others should enjoy. If Ali
ance-Man will hunt up the minutes
of the Warren County alliance, III
will find the boycott resolution
against the STANDARD, referred Il
in our article last week. 1t was pass

life in which he has ever figured, and
there is nothing to assure Us now that
he would prove otherwise, in the
governors chair. Admitting for the
sake of argument that DR.. Kelley has
a ghost of show for election, think
for moment what spectacle he
would make in the governors Office
with not single member of his par
ty in either branch of the Legislature
to support him. DR., Kelley as gov
ernor would have no power whatever
to effect any legislation, but he would
have the power to obstruct and re-
tard legislation, and he is just cratic
and cranky enough to do it from no
other motive than to assert his brief
authority. DIR. Kelley in the gov
ernor's chair would be responsible to
no recognized element of strength in
the States political affairs. He would
be subject alone to the promptings of
his own will, which is as changeable
as the pictures in revolving kaleido-
scope. The great Methodist church,
with its taut lines of episcopacy, has
signally failed to keep DIR. Kelley on
a straight course, and it is not reason
able to suppose that the embryonic
elements of a new political party
would have any better success with
the venture.
But there is no probability what
ever of DR.. Kelley being elected gov
ernor, and every democrat who
throws his vote from Buchanan to
Kelley simply aids Baxter to the ex-
tent of one-half of his vote. No mat
ter how you may theorize about it,
this is the practical result. If the
choice were between Kelley and Bax-
ter, we would certainly prefer the
former, and while we do not admire
Mr.. Buchanan or the manner in
which he has conducted the cam
paign, he is by long odds preferable
to either Of them. Every vote fol
DR.. Kelley is a reimbursement o
the force bill and everything else tha
is rotten and offensive in the rcpubli
can party.

The View From My Window.

The following essay was written
by Fred Matthews and read to a
silent audience at the Viola Normal
School, Oct. 10, 1890. 1t describes the
view from the window of his board
ing house at Mr.. D. H. Wooton's.
The scene from my window is a
picture of beauty with changeable en-
cravings. 1t seems the divine artist,
Nature, had dipped his wonderful
brush into the concentric bands of the
rainbow, and the genial rays of many
a mornings sun, drawn from the
rains and dews suited oil, and made
of the earth an ornamental easel.
1t is composed of flowers that are
ever willing to speak sentiments of
joy, regardless of wealth, to a droop-
ing soul, of argent fields that yield
the golden grain and of unciferous,
bacciferous and coniferous trees that
buy Of the earth and air their food,
and pay back to the earth their
autumn foliage; to the air the odors
of their spring blossoms, and donate
their blossoms to the bees, their
boughs and twigs to the birds and
their DELICIOUS fruits to man.
The clear summer night comes and
clothes each object within this picture
in shining goal of diamonds with
its dews; later the beams of the sun
arrive to frolic with the blooming
rays in the grass.
Now this scene has reached the
zenith of its beauty and the simmer
ing rays of this dewy dress are the
rich spangles that adorn this nature
painted picture.
There along the portico, grows anC
blossoms and bears rough old grape
vine; but in spite of its roughness i
will have its beauty still it clings t,
the Wondering wall as a feSto0n Il
the veranda.
Just across the road stands an un
couth buggy-hOuse, clumsy struc
ture of mans in the midst of natur
most beautiful.
A landscape like an open picture
book is stretched out along the deX
ter bank Of Hickory Creek. First
field covered with stubble that j
brown and scar; then hillside, il
light color is due to the decayin
leaves of the scattered poplar, and
ripe corn field; next a giganti
mountain that is a bank of azure hut
Twilight changes the beauty, the
l night comes and DISCUSSES everythin
with a black mask. NJ. c.
