Alleged Fraud in the Sale Of Stock OF Con.

Louis Gautrin yesterday instituted .
suit for 81 900 damages against Thomas B.
Brown, who. it is alleged in the complaint.
conspired with George Wallace to cheat
and defraud him out of certain stock OF
confections. tobacco and bakery goods,
which plaintiff had on South Illinois street.
Wallace. it is charged, agreed with Gautrin
to find purchaser for the stock. and In.
trOd uced the defendant, who represented
that he owned lot in Talburt's addition to
the town of Thoyntown. worth $500. clear
of all encumbrance. By these representa-
tions the trade was made, but on having
the deed recorded the plaintiff learned that
it called for half lot in Condra's addition,
which he says is worthless because of mort
cages on it to the full amount Of ITS value.

Contemplating Defeat In 1892.

Pompous Democrats are making a des-
perate effort TO keep their courage up for
the contest OF 1892 by the usual brag and
buster, but every one OF them has a
well-defned fear that their party will
be still more crushingly defeated in 1892
than IL was i'm 1883. The reasons for
their fear are obvious They realize that
the Mckinley law will have indicated
the good policy of its provisions and
have given more general satisfaction To
the people OF the nation than its prede-
ceSsor long before the Presidential con-
test has been decided; they know that
the voters of the North will not consent
that the South shall rule the nation by
the suppression of the Republican votes
of that locality; and they are certain
that the vote of all the new States will
be cast for Republicanism and progress
sive government. There are other all
sufficient issues to defeat the Democracy
in 1892, but the three named are suffi-
cient here to convince all people that the
Bourbons are greatly less confident than
they were in 1888. Some of the thinking
Democrats are discussing possibilities.
The Dallas Times Herald thus mourn
fully forecasts the political horoscope for
1892:
Democrats who are blind enough &c
believe the Republican party is dead will
receive a rude awakening in 1892. In
the Northwestern States the Democrats
did not poll near as great vote as they
cast in 1883. In Kansas, Nebraska

again, under the plea that it is not sec
tional but national.
Protection for wage-Earners.

Why need foreigners labor so zealously
and pay so literally TO have our tariff
reduced, IL it be true, as alleged, that
they will be content to sell their products
TO our people at present prices less the
duty? They now have this privilege, as
they are only required To pay the tariff
TO bring their ware into competition with
the products of domestic industries.
Their dissatisfaction with this arrange
ment is proof that they desire the sub
stitutiOn of some arrangement more
favorable for themselves. Their desire
is TO sell TO our people more goods than
are now bought abroad. and under this
increased demand they hope for chance
TO increase prices. as they invariably have
done when opportunity offered.
But inasmuch as the necessities of our
people are provided for under existing
arrangements, an increased sale of for
eign products means diminished market
for home products. This means less
work for the thousands OF workers now
engaged in making what foreigners pro-
pose TO supply. The people thus thrown
out of employment must either go hun
CRY and cold or find work i'm some other
business than that To which they have
been trained, and in which by reason of
skill acquired their services are most
valuable.
Right at this point the situation as
sumes especial interest for every citizen
of this country who is compelled to earn
living. Every man thrown out of
work to which he is best adapted and
compelled TO crowd the list of workers
in some other industry, by SO much rend-
ers steady employment fer all workers
the more precarious and tine mainten-
ance OF their wages the more difficult.
The more work there is done i'm this

Colorado and California they made no
gains. Thousands of Republicans, as
the returns will demonstrate, did not
vote. They were Disguised with their
party and remained at home. The great
Democratic gains were made i'm the
States of Indiana, New York, New Jer-
sey, Connecticut, Rhode Island and New
Hampshire. To win President in 1892
the Democrats will be compelled 10 carry
the first four named, and any calculation
which omits New York from the Demo-
cratic column is absurd. The Solid
South and the Big Four control the
Presidency, and the national convention
should not even consider the names of
aspirants for Presidential honors who
cannot carry the great Empire State of
the East
