No sinking There

There was an immense democratic
meeting at Peru. Ind last week Among
the speakers was Gen. Black. of Chicago.
From an interview with the general in
the Indianapolis Sentinel. we take the fol-
lowing:
Gen. Black, who is now a citizen of
Chicago, to the Sentinel reporter said that
the Illinois campaign was now open, that
the fight would be for the legislature, and
that upon the tariff issue alone the demo
Gratis would carry both branches The
Legislature would not only elect o. S
senator. but would redistrict the state for
legislative and congressional purposes.
This made it most important for the dem
ocratlc party To carry it. Chicago would
gain large number of congressman and
members of the legislature, and this
alone would make the democrats solid
in the future. Chicago, he said, had
not gained in population at the ex,
pepse of the rural districts of Illinois,
but by immigration from other cities.
The major part of this increase was dem
ocratic. and this. together with the tariff
question. would make Illinois a demo-
cratic state. He said that he would not
be candidate for the senate. but would
take the stump for Gen. Palmer, who
would not he opposed by anyone. He
considered Palmer's chances of going to
the senate better than any republicans
This ought to very effectually stop the
statement so gleefully made by republi-
can editors that Gen. Black is sulking in
his tent, says the Springfield Register
But it won't. The average republican
editor is never so happy as when he is
lying, and he has so little sense he i'm
agnes he can make some democrats dis.
satisfied by his stories. But Illinois
democrats were never so united as now,
as republicans will find to their cost.

some Pointed Questions.

DR.. V. II. Munroe, OF Seymour, Ind,
who has always been an ardent republ>
can, writes the Democrat of that city as
follows: Many conscientious republicans
men who do not want office, but are
republicans from principie-are asking
themselves questions like the following:
l. Why is the average Weld of 800
invested in Manufactures, five times as
great rs the average yield invested in ag-
ricuiture7
2. Why do the farm implement max
ers of this country advertise in Buenos
Ayres the same pillow for SO, which they
advertise in the United States for 1882
3. Why was quinine SO 60 per ounce
when there was a duty on that drug as
against 30 cents per ounce now; and /:
lowering or abolishing the tariff would
destroy American industries" at this
advanced day, why has the number of
quinine manufactures in the United
states grown from three, under "prOtec-
tion," to six, under free trade, and all of
them prosperous7
4. Why was wool 10 cents per pound
higher under the lowest tariff than it is
under the highest tariff
D. What excuse or pretext can there
be for maintaining the present excessive
tariff schedule-or adopting the still more
Ubiquitous Mckinley increase-wben
the country is at peace with all nations,
save the solid south. and when the sur

AS to pension frauds. The man who
served creditably in the army of the I'm.
ion; he who saw service and suffered, aud
is now in anywise enfeebled, injured or
in need. should be pensoned in the most
generous way. But all able bodied,men,
who as matter of truth, were not SOL
diers in the grand and sacred meaning of
the term. should not draw support from
the general government. If there be no
distinction made between the man who
served his country four hours and the
one who served four years, then it would
appear that governmental justice and
equity is at low standard.

Want The Tariff Bill Delayed So They
Can Stock Up with Fo reign Goods.
WASHINGTON CITY, Aug. A.-One reason
alleged for Quay's anxiety to secure early
action on the tariff bill, by abandoning the
election bill, is the well authenticated re-
port that the country is being stocked
with imported merchandise in anticipa-
ton of the new scale of duties. Every
bonded warehouse in New York Is already
packed from cellar to roof. The longer
the delay in making the bill law, the
larger will be the supply of imported mer-
chandise stored for future use. to the det-
riment of home productions.
Democrats Besieged for Delay.
In this connection it is currently re-
ported that several of the Democratic
senators are in receipt of kilograms from
large importing houses, King them to
oppose the Quay resolution and delay the
passage of the tariff bill a. long as pos
sible in order that the importers may be
afforded as much time as possible to lay
in a supply of foreign goods before the
new rates of duty go into effect.
