Thirteen Million Votes.

More States will participate in the Presl-
Dental contest this year than at any pre-
vious election. The number is forty-four.
six more than took part In the elections OF
1880. 1884, and 1888. seven more than took
part in the election Of 1879. eight more than
took part In the elections Of 1868 and 1872.
and thirty more than participated In the
FIRST Presidential election. when only sixty
i've electoral votes were cast instead Of 444,
% will be the case this year.
The popular vote was about 100000 In
1884, about II. 900 in 1885, and 1t will prob
ably reach 13.OOo.oO votes In 1892. The total
IL forty times greater than that Gust at the
FIRST Presidential election. and larger than
the electorate OF any country in ancient or
modern times. For the first time 1t exceeds
the total vote cast in the German empire or
In the French republic. Great Britain's to-
tai was passed many years ago. That Of

There has always been certain amount

economic system has never existed in this

there has never been time. from the be-

K1NLEY, when one for revenue only could
not have been had for the desire to have it.
Although tariff for revenue only. made
without the liberation Of juggle or hum
bug, Is free trade pure and absolute. the
stress Of defence against tho fatality OF
such an understanding throughout the
country has led the revenue-only agitators
to permit a very different explanation of
their design. There has been popular
cultivation. never forbidden on their part.
OF the idea that tariff for revenue
only means tariff sufficient to meet
tho financial needs Of the Government:
that 1t is simply q prudent system of
business and bookkeeping. Other char
acteristics or restrictions have ever been
left to the supposition that they were
unnecessary. The main moving purpose

humbug and delusion upon this engaging

With that oil room for the old error Is

ceipts barely meet the expenditures, as is
the case at present. the tariff reform"

with the practical balance Of income and

cold domain OF unconditioned theory. the
