Wages I'm England.

The English Royal Labor Commits
sion, which represents the highest pos
sible authority in Great Britain, has
just brought out the fact that the En-
glish railway companies pay their
porters sixteen shillings, or about 1884
a week for an average Of twelve hours o
day, or about ga cents day for a day
OF twelve hours.
And yet in face Of such facts there
are good Democrats 1--WE talked with one
last Sunday who will tell you that the
only thing that brings people to this
country is the cheapness of the land.
General George A. Sheridan has just
returned from England, and states that
man whom he knows has a cloth fac
tory in Bradford, England, where he
pays four cents yard wages, while he
has to pay twelve cents yard wages In
another cloth factory which he operates
at Bristol, Pa. And yet the working
mans clothing is as cheap here as it ID
in England. Superintendent Jackson,

New York Advertiser.

Of course the boast that Massachusetts
or Iowa will go Democratic are tales for
the political marines. None Of the old
salts like Cleveland, Harrity or Brice
believe anything of the kind. If the
Democrats this year carry any State
that has heretofore been Republican
they will be even more surprised than
the Republicans at the result.
Turn whatever way they will, the
Democrats are confronted with the fact
that they cannot win without the cleo
toral vote of New YORK. They pretend
to be sure of securing Indiana, but, as
is here shown, that State cannot give
them the Presidency. The twenty-e eight
votes which they would still require
would be an insuperable barrier TO sue
cess unless they gained New York.
Without that commonwealth they would
have to carry two or three States hith-
erto Republican In Presidential years,
and, in the present conditions, this is q
task of formidable proportions. Allow
ing them all the doubtful States except
one, and they are still far from victory.
They must carry every one of them in
order to win. Nor would the capture of
Kansas and Minnesota by Weaver help
them, for the Republicans can spare
these States If they carry New York and
still be above the required 223 mark
There is no hope for victory for the De-
mocracy, therefore, from the People s
party diversion. The utmost that that
organization can do, as the situation
presents itself now, will not throw the
election into the House of Representa-
tives. Evidently the battle at the polls
will be decisive, and the Electoral Col
lege will make the choice for President
The Republicans can win without New
York, but that State is absolutely essen
tial to Democratic success. The Dem
ocrats may as well face this eventuality
now as later on, for to this complexion
the situation must come ut last.-Globe-

Stevenson and SIlxer.

Adlai Stevenson said in an interview
at Chicago on his return from New York:
AS to what may be the effect, II any, of
the silver issue, do not now care to
speak.
1t was in 1881, while a member of tho
House, and elected as Greenbacker,
that Mr.. Stevenson opposed a bill be-
cause, as he said, it was legislation in
the same line and looking to the same
end with that which established and
fosters national banks; which exempts
Government bonds from taxation; which
demonetized silver, and seeks the de-
struction of the greenback currency.
And this Is the candidate the Democ-
racy asks the business men OF this ma
ton to elect to the Vice Presidency.

MINNEAPOLIS TRIBUNE: Cleveland
is sensitive without doubt, but he is
also sensible when he asks certain
women with more enthusiasm than
ideas Of propriety to leave the Fran
ces Cleveland Clubs unorganized and
not bring the wife of the eX-Presi-
dent into the political field. But they
will not observe his wishes and Illi-
nois comes forward with club named
for Frances and with contribution
Of 800 to the State campaign fund.
AS long as the dear girls pay for the
privilege perhaps Grover had better
let them organize.

What the Tariff Means.

Let us see. Four or five millions to
be invested in one township, Roberts
ford, Bergen County, N. j., in new mill
buildings-all foreign capital-one En-
glish manufacturer Of alpacas and mo-
hairs to erect three mills; one Leipzig,
Germany, house to remove it's entire
essential oil plant there. Other NC
Kinleyized" industries to be expanded
the same way, and we have the wicked
New York Worlds news columns as
authority for the statement that it
means a four or five million investment
in buildings alone in single country.
Well, that's only a beginning. The
weekly pay roll Of that county will make
big jump upward, property bought at
farm prices will sell as city lots, and
the busy life Of prosperous American
factory town will supplant the dull
monotony Of a country village.
And that awful protective tariff did it
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1892-08-17

during the past year. In the face Of
such facts it is absurd to say that retail
iation has followed the enactment Of
our "prohibitive" tariff and has dealt
agriculture an "irreparable injury" The
American people may like to be hum
bugged, as Barnum used TO say, but
they at least do not like to be rediculed
by clumsy lying in attempts to deceive
them about serious things. Therefore
it Is entirely safe to predict that any
and all efforts to make capital for the
Democratic party out of charges that
the Mckinley law has injured agricul-
ture by blighting the export trade Of
the United States will fail, utterly and
everywhere. -Cleveland Leader.

A QUESTION having arisen regar,

A QUESTION having arisen regard
ing the participation Of General"
Stevenson in the National Green
back Convention in May, 1876, which
nominated Peter Cooper, it may be
answered that Congressman Steven
son, of Illinois, the present "Gen-
eral, was present in that meeting,
but was not then sufficiently prom
inent In the affairs of that party to
be recognized as leader. His name,
however, appears in the files of both
papers, the Sentinel remarking that
he was one Of those who circulated
among the delegates before the meet
ing was called to order ito make ar
rangements for controlling the con-
vention."

CLEVELAND carried the States Of
Indiana, New York, and Connecticut
in 1884 and lost the two first-named
in 1888. His success in 1884 was due
TO the united condition Of the Dem.
ocracy in those States and to the
leadership Of Hendricks, Manning,
and Barnum. The two flrst-named
died before the 1888 canvass, and
their States went Republican. Bar
mum died in 1889, and Connecticut
has had Republican Governor ever
since. The Democracy of New York
is split in twain, and Indiana has
been abandoned to the Republicans.
There is nothing to indicate any hoYt
of the Democrats carrying either o.
the three States.

he should have sought his remedy in court.
He had not only violated his duty morally, bu,
