and Prohibitionist can find common
cause.-Record.
The News has taken hold of the mat
ter, and will do so again. But Paw
tucket comes first in point of time, and
there, we regret, the Record and News
are not in such hearty and complete ac-
cord.
What will Mckinley be after next Tues
day S-Telegram.
Governor-elect of one of the grandest
states in the Union.
IL Is plain that many of the farms of
Massachusetts have been abandoned, the
fields growing up to brush and the home
steads falling into decay. 1t is equally
plain that the tin plate industry in this
country deserves all the fun poked at II,
and more Bulletin.
Our dolls are stuffed with sawdust, the
moon Is made of green cheese, there
never was any George Washington
cherry tree, men are no longer honest
nor women fair, winter is coming on
and the Lord knows what's TO become of
us all. It's weary world, my masters.

poor workingmen' among the peanut
politicians. At the present time the wage
Garner with vote is assured that on him
will fall the payment of the increased tax
made necessary by the enlargement of our
municipal business. If
the politicians theory was correct, Woon-
socketers would go into the low tax
country along the new Pascoag railroad
TO trade, instead of going TO Providence
or Boston, where taxation is higher, il
local prices are too high There are few
ii any cities In the country where taxes
are as high as I'm New York, yet we doubt
if merchandise of any kind can be bought
as cheap anywhere as at the nations great
metropolis. There are other matters than
taxation that regulate prices. 1t is the
smallest item of annual expense the
modern merchant has to consider.-Woon-
socket Reporter.
Sensible words, and as sensible when
applied to Providence. High taxation
may be blessing to all the taxed, and
low taxation a curse. 1t depends upon
the objects for which the money is
! spent. People do not say: "What a
smart man Jones is! He only spends
three dollars week :" but what an
able man is Smith He spends thou
sands intelligently. He knows when
and how to use money" The miser
with his coins tied in the toe Of stock
| ing isn't the model for a city government
which aims to be progressive.
The only way to know whether the fail
| ure of the glass industry is due 10 purely
natural and accidental causes is TO re
move the tax on fuel. To cripple the ac-
cess TO cheap fuel by an abominable tax,
and then when the industry has been
driven elsewere TO call the scarcity OF fuel
natural reason y for the failure, argues
either excessive boldness, thoughtlessness
or ignorance. Boston Globe.
Section 526, tariff law of 1890, under
head of "free list page 50 of govern
ment document Comparison of the
| Customs Law" we read coal, anthra-
cite" Page so. we read that bitumin-
ous coal is taxed - cents per long ton,
coal slack or culm 30 cents per long ton.
Democratic orators frequently call for
free coal" 1t is free. What makes it
! cost more in Massachusetts than Penn
| sylvania is the cost of transportation.
Candidate Allen was exactly right when
| he gave that cause. The Globe would
better know less and know it straighter

This is fact that can't be too often
repeated. Thanks

Very kind to call the attention to the
weakness of an assistant Democratic
movement.

And in Ohio, mckinley is the man."
II is rather significant that the Demo
Gratis have stopped talking Of the weak
/ ness of the Republican Council ticket
| about which they prated 50 glibly "a few
days ago. They must have discovered
! that the weakness was on the other side,
] and that there was no use of trying to
! hoodwink the people. Any sensible citi-
/ zen, any man free from bias political or
| personal, who compares the candidates Of
/ the two parties for the City Council will
see at a glance the superiority of the
| ticket put in that field by the Republi-
cans.-Pawtucket Times
Vote for the whole ticket from top TO
bottom. The independent movement is
ON it's last legs. Give it a finishing
stroke.
We hardly know what is the more
amusing-the effort of the Providence
NEWS TO De Republican i'm season and out
Of season. even to che extent Of seeing no
evil in a man who votes Republican and
no good in the one who votes Democratic
with a sublime disregard of all facts or
the rawlings of the Pawtucket Gazette and
ChrOHiclc and the WOonsockct Reporter
over any utterauces of the NEWS which
conflict with their prece. lived and nCces-
sarily correct ideas-BJ .lillville Gazette.
Wei. we generally succeed i'm being
I Republican i'm season. There isn't any
"out of that The Gazette and ChroR-
icle is Republican except at election time
and the Reporter gyrates wildly on top
o. the fence. People know where 10
hnd the News anyhow. And as for see
ing no good m q Democrat, we see lots
OF il sometimes. But we never get a
chance tO say much about the good Dem
ocrats. They don't get drunk. or muir
der folks. or steal. or commit forg, ,i,. q.
even RIM for Offices rs often as they
ought fox their pdrty's god.
