The Suppressed Vote"

A local Democratic paper is maun-
dering still about what it calls the
suppressed vote in the Northern
States and says that proportionately
as many adult males do not vote there
as In the Gulf States, To prove this
it shows that in 1880 there were In
South Carolina POS, 900 adult males
and that 10, 900 woes were returned
as cast, while in Minnesota, with 2l2. :
600 adult males, 150000 votes were
cast. Ten years have passed since then
in which the force and fraud system
OF the Gulf States has reached its per-
lection. The total vote cast in 1884 in
South Carolina was 81 800, and in 1888
$500, or less than half what it was
in 1880. The population has risen,
however, so that there are now about
200, 600 voters in the State, or go, 900
two years ago. But less than third
OF them went TO the polls. Never
mind what happened ten years ago.

POLITICAL POINTERS.
The Revised Tariff.

1t would make very little, il any dif"
fere nee with the free traders how the
Republicans revise the tariff. They
will find fault with it, The revision
has been conducted on systematic
principles. Where articles could be
put on the free list they have been
placed there, and that list has been
greatly enlarged. Sugar alone Is an
immense addition. Where reductions
could be made they have been made.
Reductions have taken place all along
the line of imports. One thing has
been kept in mind. the wages Of our
working people. This is disputed by
low tariff people, but it is a fact for
all that. Democrats may desire TO
have free trade, even at the expense
Of our home labor, but they will not
get it. The people rejected that idea
when they passed upon it two years
ago. and those who speak for low
rf voters, speak for decided nil
aority. Some schedules have been in
creased, notably those affecting the
farm. Look along that line and see
all animals, all grains, all vegetables
getting higher protection. There is
variance OF opinion among tariff vo-
tiers regarding hides, fibers and other
things, but 1t is Il family dispute. Ev-
erybody knows what farmers got in
the proposed bills of Morrison and
Mills. No farmer was considered
there but southern farmers. This in.
creased protection for the farm will
mean something, now that we have
short crops. The country has always
prospered under Republican tariff re-
vision, and at no time were the low
tariff forces agreed to favor the bills
that gave prosperity to the country.
The noise we hear is paid for by the
line in the Democratic and assistant
Democratic papers, and besides it has
a Democratic object in ito prevent
the payment OF pensions to Union SOL
diers! We need pay no attention to
them. The people heard all their
cries when they elected the men who
are now revising the tariff and paid
no attention 10 them. The low tariff
people from England, along the line
TO the poor and poorly paid revenue
tariff forces in Iowa at present make
more noise than the majority DO. They
aim at the farmer. 1t is too late. The
farmer has voted for high tariff all his
life. hoping to build up a home market
that would absorb all his grains, and
now he has that market. He has vot.
ted in hope that well-paid labor would
eat all his dairy products and now
with short grain crops his hopes are
realized. He has voted in hope that
well paid labor would consume the
most of his meats and that hope is
now reality. Do Democrats who are
the landmarks of low tariffs-excuse
the gender-expect that these same
farmers now will help them to destroy
their creations, their life work? If so
their heads are in a thick cloud. They
lack votes to bring about their ideas.
The British do not vote here, they
only pay money to have articles in
serted in Democratic papers, but that
does not count at the ballot box while
1t may maze kind of living, like the
gathering Of old rubber boots. A
slim living, we fear, one that puts the
recipient in trim to yell loudly, but
not to reason cogeRtly. Iowa State

She Made a Sensation.

Mr., Randolph announced that the
lady would perform an act on the
slack wire. She balanced herself on
the wire and tripped back and forth,
while the audience looked on with
that apathy and air of being hall
bored which characterizes all shows
which are thoroughly familiar to the
theater and circus patron.
All at once the air performer drew
few pins from the bay window OF
her dress and drew that garment off,
leaving her standing on one foot,
clad in an elaborate lace skirt.
The audience awaked from its in
difference and the show became en-
dowed with new interest.
More pins were extracted and over
her head went the skirt.
The audience became excited.
Next the bus-dress improyer came
of. 1t had no longer any dress to
improve, and it's occupation was
gone.
The auGiance began to speculate
as to where the disrobing process
would end, and pistol shot or a
dog fight would not have served at
that moment to distract its atten-
ton.
BY this time the lady on the wire
had got down apparently to the
snowy garment which as adapted to
the male form is known as a shirt.
The audience craned its neck, soto
speak, and as the lady showed an in
tention OF removing even that gar
ment, strong men held their breath
in dsmay, wonder and curiosity,
while the weak and modest ones
covered their faces with their hands.
Well the what dye call itcame of,
and-nothing more shocking was re-
vealed than IA handsome and very
shapely young woman clad in the
regulation tights and trunks that
ali well-regulated slack-wire and
trapeze artists are wont to wear

National Revenue,

The increase OF the National revenue
makes an excellent showing for the
greater intelligence and better bust
ness methods Of Republicanism. I'm.
der President Cleveland the increase
Of revenue averaged s4,600, 600 yearly
ana was $4,000, 900 in the largest year
but under President Harrison the in
crease has been 81 700, 900 in single
year, and largely because OF the far
greater efficiency and honesty OF the
public service. fhe cost of collecting
the revenue under President Cleveland
was $3.50 per cent, but under Secretary
Window thus far it has been only 20
per cent-a decrease which speaks ell
oquently OF the integrity of the Repub-
llcan service and the wise selection OF
officials.

The Old Copperheads Again.

1t is difficult TO keep the old Cop
perhead spirit suDdued even in Iowa!
They are still treasuring the old but
ternut suits they wore as knights of
the Golden Circle, and the butternut
breast.pins they displayed in public
whenever they were permitted to do
so. Poweshiek county, where the
Copperheads murdered 4 United States
Marshal during the war, still has de-
flant old rebels, who favor free trade
and free whisky, and vote the Demo
cratic ticket, as the following from
yesterdays Montezuma Republican in
dictates:
At the old settlers reunion at Lyn-
vile, Thursday, an old man was pran-
cling around among tho crowd with II
Copperhead breast-pin dangling from
the lapel OF his coat. 1t was made
from a butternut and was the genuine
article from away back. The wearer
actually seemed proud of the treason
able reminder and pointed to it with
/ as much pride and enthusiasm as a
| rebel would to the stars and bars.
That old pin calls up very unpleasant
memories. Within four miles Of where
this man stood last Thursday, those
who wore the same badge twenty-five
years ago murdered the gallant Wood
ruff while in discharge Of his duties as
United States Marshal. 1t brings to
| mind the fact that the wal OF The re-
| bellion was prolonged a year or two
on account of the promised aid of such
as wore this badge. 1t hardly seems
possible that there is any one in all
the State of Iowa who has the audaci-
ty to appear in public with this de,
testablo old relic dangling from his
bosom, 1t could be interesting to
know just how many there are who
even TO this day, would delight in
wearing the old badge of treason and
secession. State Register,

cessful prosecution OF the war. Hence
the opposition OF the Democratic party.
The gradual reduction OF those duties
by the revisions which have been made
whenever the Republican party has
had power to act, has cut the average
rate of duty one-hslf. Not only that,
but these revisions have created free

all the goods shipped to America from
abroad came in without paying cent
of duty. The war tariff that the Dem
ocratic mugwump papers now talk
about is at least seventy-fve per cent

In closing his address Reed said: I'VE
fought great struggle for liberty OF
manhood, and yet there has been and
is sitting in Mississippi convention
where every orator proclaims his de-
termination and the determination of
every other white man belonging to
his party to invent some method to
