Several DAYS ago a letter purportin

Several days ago letter purporting
to have been written by President Har
rison to the Sscret21y-o Ct he Pennsyl-
vania Farmers Grange was published
as genuine reply by the President to
an invitation of the Oranges. The let
ter was forgery, weak invention Of
the campaign forger to injure the re-
puted author of it. 1t has been pro-
nounced by both President Harrison
and the Secretary OF the Grange for
gerry from beginning to end, and neither
ever saw it until they saw it in print.
Their statement of its fraudulent charac-
ter has been made in the most public
and emphatic manner, but, notwith-
standing, the letter is still being extern
siyely published as genuine by the
Presidents political opponents. 1t is
possible that in some few instances the
harm intended to be wrought by its
publication is thus effected, but in a
greater number of instances, now that
its real character is known, 1t is more
likely to do good than harm to Mr..
Harrison. Respectable people, whether
Republicans or Democrats, do not look
favorably upon, or take kindly to, for
gerry or forgers, even thought they be of
the political sort.

We do not believe that Mr.. Archer IS

THE TARIFF QUESTION.
Senator Hale, of Maine. Speaks His Mine
Upon the Subject.

ELLSWORTH, Me-, July Ex-senator
Eugene Hale, one of Blaine's staunchest
supporters, said to-day on the tariff ques-
ton: SIT is the duty of the Republican
Senators to stick to the bill until it is COM
pleted and passed. 1t will not necessarily
be the Mckinley bill but will retain all
it's good features.
THE proposition which will be debat.
ed and passed upon by the Senator will
be one to secure foothold in the South
and Central American nations and to get
their markets for our goods. This does
not in any way interrupt the protective
system, nor is it inconsistent with pro-
tective tariff. Central and South America
furnish the products which we do not
supply and which we need. We produce
and manufacture the things they need
and which they cannot produce. Their
market is largely in the hands of Great
Britain and France and the money which
we pay for their products goes to these
countries. Instead of paying for their
products in money, which goes to Europe,
we ought to give in exchange ours. We
ought, by treaty or by legislation. SO fix
business relations between us that their
goods will come to us and our goods go
to them. Mr.. Blaine is right in saying
that if we give to South America, Cuba,
Porto Rice an open market for sugar with
out terms being imposed, we shall have
no hold on these countries to induce them
to let our produce freely into t tlt..eeiT ports
believe 1T tn-bb53 TACT that preparations
tendlpssu TO negotiations with some OF
these countries, which would have re-
suited in reciprocity, fell to the ground
in the winter because the representatives
of these countries discovered from the
provisions of the Mckinley bill that they
would get the benefit of free sugar with
out being asked anything i'll return" In
speaking of the commerce of the United
States he said that new day had dawn
ed upon this country since shipbuiIding
has been revived.

Millions in 1t.

From the Clerelond Plain Dealer, July IL.
A pension agent at Washington sends
out to weekly newspapers a circular
making proposition to work up bust
ness under the new Dependent Pension
law. The law fixes the fee for each
successful case at $40, and the pension
agent offers one-third of the fee to the
newspaper by whose means the case
is thrown into his hands. In offering
"to divide with them big thing" the
pension agent tells the newspaper men
that without cooperation neither
party will be benefited in this proposal. u
There is suggestiveness IN that remark
which may occur to readers of news
paper pension literature.
The pension agents circular is sug-
gestive on other accounts. 81 was fore
most" it says, in promoting the agi-
tatlon of the Arrears bill, beginning it
in 1871, and seeing it successfully ac-
complished seven years later, securing

That Mr.. Carnegie is now millionaire

country, under Protection, is open to
the poorest and humblest boy, if only

entire interest bearing debt ofthe United
States. 1t Is one. fourth more than the
total value of the annual imports or
exports of the United States. 1t eX-
ceeds the aggregate expenditures Tor
the enormous standing armies OF Great
Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Kus-
STA and Austria Hungary for two years.
This represents the cost to the Amerl-
can taxpayers of a single pension bill
in less than II years, without including
the vast amount during that time and
previously paid under the regulation
pension laws.
The new law, under which the
Washington pension agent proposes ito
thoroughly work up the business OF
securing $40 fees for himself and the
newspapers with which he "enters into
limited partnership" is, according to
the circular, "destined to benefit nearly
one million soldiers, widows and
parents, and to be the cause OF the
disbursement of hundreds of millions OF
dollars" 1t is rightly described as
"sweeping law" and ri. won't require
much proof to enable those entitled
under this act to get their just deserts"
1t is "not required that the soldier
must be poor and in poverty-not at
ALL" 1t confers pension for permanent
physical or mental inability to earn
support which "need not have origlna-
ted in the service" If soldier is al
ready drawing pension on wound less
than SI7," and he has "some other
touble which did not occur in the
army he can get an increase on that
under the provisions of the act if dis.
abled by it from labor" In addition
to all this the pension agent suggests
that the new law "wlll also wake up
many old bounty, horse, back pay and
other claims" and stimulate raids on
the Treasury from all quarters to the
great benefit of the limited partnership
between the pension agent and the
newspaper advocate of pensions. 1t IS
not added in express terms, although
the reflection suggests itself, that the
profits to claimants, agents and their
newspaper partners who "need not be
known as being in any way interested, !"
will be likely to stimulate a movement
for still more pension bills that will "be
the cause of the disbursement of hun
dreds of millions of dollars" in addition
to the Hundreds of millions" and
Thousand million dollars" already ex-
pended as result of the "agitation"
promoted by pension agents.
1t would seem to be time for the
taxpayers of the country to sit down
with themselves aud think over what
the end of all this is to be. The annual
pension expenditure is now equal and
next year will probably exceed the ag-
gregate expenditures for the civil list,
State, Navy and War Departments, ill
Guiding river and harbor Improvements.
1t keeps on at an alarming rate. The
time will inevitably come, unless halt
is called, when the revenues will no
longer meet the expenses and taxation
must be made much heavier or the
debt be increased instead of lessened.
The people are grateful to the SOL
diers who saved the Union. They
have shown their gratitude with a
liberality unapproached by any other
country In the worlds history. They
are in fair way of having to face the
question whether it is necessary to
carry gratitude to the point of bank
ruptcy.

The Democracy Of Maryland doubt

suggestion emanating from Southern
senator-that the Democratic party may
nominate German for the Presidency.
We don't believe the Senator was en-
tirely serious, and yet he was not merely
playing with words. Why not Mr.. Cor
man? He is one of the ablest polltl-
clans in the United States-ln Demo-
cratic way-and surely Maryland has
had no such successful, genuine Demo-
crat in many years. He is certainly an
honor to that party, and the party in
Maryland has long delighted to do him
honor.
When the average Maryland Demo-
crat-the old hungry and thirsty Bour-
bon-contemplates the possibility of
his great favorite's election to the Presi-
dency, dreams of unlimited spoils and
patronage float through his enraptured
soul, and Washington City becomes to
his ardent Imagination paradise of
oriental magnihcence.
Therefore, we shall expect the Cor

lar chord in Maryland, and every
