The New York Sun, the aDlesv Demo
cratic newspaper in the United States,
uses the following remarkable language
in leading editorial published Oct II,
1890.
"Mr. Mckinley is right, the rank and
file of the Democratic party are for pro-
lection. Nobody can tell at
present, what the effect of the McKin-
ley bill will be, and to fight it would be
fighting in the dark" And again, in
another editorial Of the same date:
"The rise Of prices applies, to be sure,
to some articles which are not affected
by the bill, it may even apply to some
articles whose cost will be reduced by
the bill"
Here then, from q source whose
Democracy no one will question, comes
complete reply to the position of the
Democratic press and Of Democratic
orators.
"The rank and file of the Democratic
party are for protection. Can any
American citizen who has the good of
his country and Of himself and of his
neighbor at heart, be for anything else ?
And yet we are told by Democratic
orators and Democratic newspapers
that the policy of protection means the
enriching of the few who manufacture
at the expense Of the many who do not.
Will the "rank and file" believe this?
The frank and file" can reason and think
as well as The New York Sun, and
when force is attempted to be added to
the Democratic argument by pointing
to the present advance in prices, it is q
sufficient answer to ask, How do you ac-
count for the rise in the prices Of
articles not affected by the Mckinley
bill? How about the same with refer
ence to articles the prices Of which is
lowered by the bill? The fact is the
rise in prices is simply the fret indica-
ton Of the better times Of confidence
and prosperity which invariably follow
the settlement Of such controversies in
favor of American manufacturers and
American laborers. Unfair advantage
will no doubt be taken for q time by
unscrupulous men and some display in
this direction will be made by Demo-
cratic merchants who are employed to
advance their prices ION account of the
Mckinley bill" by Democratic man
ayers, but through all this bluff and
bluster can be seen the sun of prosperi-
ty and better times, and its genial rays
will not be mistaken for the fires of op-
preston, notwithstanding the false cry
Of the un-American and unpatriotic
managers Of the Democratic-B British
free trade party, for the rank and fle'
are for protection.

In his speech at Millersburg tho other
day Maj. Mckinley said: @Both parties
agree that the revenue must be raised
by indirect taxation; by duties on i'm.
ports" The New York Sun says that
remark proves that Maj. Mckinley lis
an incomparably sounder Democrat
than Grover Cleveland" We need not
discuss that, but the Democratic voters
of the Sixteenth district might do worse
than to take the matter into considera-
ton.

The Plainesville Telegraph says the
following true thing:

Look around you. Do you find our
laboring masses impoverished by the
tariff Aren't they we'll paidf Haven't
they work enoughS Go and try to get q
carpenter just now to build you q barn,
and you will find them too busy to talk to
you. Intelligent labor is at premium in
this country. Ignorance is always at q
discount. The workingmen were never
better paid, fed, clothed and housed than
they are in this country to-day and they
are too happy to listen to the doleful tales
Of poverty and woe which the ''calamity''
editors and orators Of the Democratic
party are peddling out. American work
tngmen are not beggars, and are very far
from being 80.

not harm you.

LONDON MONEY MATTERS.
The Condition of Extreme Tension Enectualiy
observation-disclosures Will Soon
Be Restored.

LONDON, Nov. l6 business in dis
court during the past week was limited
owing TO the unsettled state of financial
affairs, brokers declining to do anything
under the Bank of England's minimum
rate. The stock exchange throughout
the week was in condition of
extreme tension which was only
relieved yesterday when it became
known that a financial crisis had been
averted without any important failure.
The influx of gold into the Bank OF Eng
land caused q brief surface improvement
about the middle of the week, but an
undercurrent of rumors associating
great financial house with the impending
disaster checked all tendency to conf
dence IN the future. Even before
the settlement the critical position
of the firm alluded to through tre-
mendous losses connected with the
Argentine and Uruguay republics, was
we'll known. Those who best knew OF
the firm affairs expected that the crisis
would become acute on Monday. ne
firm was then negotiating for
assistance i'll every lively quarter.
The alarm did not reach the public
until the evening of the success
of the negotiations when the bank of
England and the Rothschilds had de-
termned to interfere to prevent catas-
trophe. These arrangements were COM
pleted on Thursday. The wave of de-
preston then prevailing continued
until the opening yesterday, when
the public announcement that
great collapse had been averted
relieved the tension, though 1t
did not dispel the distrust. The general
feeling is that it Is still too early to con-
cIude that all is right. 1t is known that
q number of minor firms have been under
q heavy strain. 1t is also improbable
that confidence will be restored until ths
position of the Earrings toward Argen-
tine financial matters becomes clearer.
DR.. Plaza. an Argentine expert who Is
now in London. is treating with the Bar
ings and other firms regarding immense
operations in yoiving a loan of "a ,OOO ,0OO
besides the settlement or the national,
provincial and cedula loans. DR.. Plaza
has not yet formulated proposals accept
able to the financiers. Yesterday s rally
was largely due to rebuying by the bears.
The rise left Argentines 3 to per cent.
down on the week, while Uruguays
showed & decline of to ~ per cent.
English railway securities lost to pa
per cent. American railway securities
fuctuated widely, generally shrinking IN
value.

This is the only support of her sick

Parties who bug her flowers are help

Somerville's Failure.

In the schedule Of Mr.. Somerville's
Indebtedness printed in yesterdays GA
zETTE, the State National bank was set
down as creditor to the amount of
$40, 600. 1t should have read the City
National bank. Except for purposes of
accuracy in statement the mistake was
immaterial, as banks are always secured
in their loans, aud both the City national
and Merchants national are amply Sc
cured, even if Mr.. Somerville's assign
ment did not reveal the fact that his
assets are largely in excess of his liabil-
tiles. Indeed, people wonder why as
signmeut was made at all.
