Colonel j. A. Gouden, former we'll
known resident OF Pittsburg, now liVihS III
Nov York. was in the city last evening on
his wav home from an extended western trip.
Mr. Goulden is one of the vice president OF
Tammany Hall and is Just now taking an active

contest Mr.. Goulden said: Il know Tor Il

can party is all broken up in that state. Inc
cause is said to be Harrlson's chilliness and

cepted the goods Mr.. Dudley delivered by his
"blocks of five arrangement, and then turn

resigned, and it seems to me that the g. o. p.

s'Have you been in lllinois?'
sYes. Judge Altgeld will likely be elected

mil the Democratic electors through with the

Then YOU can count on the Democrats win

and around Pit;sburg have taught the people
that a high protective tariff is for iron barons
only. and not for the workingman. This les

party cannot bubble on IT any longer. As
Lincoln once said, you can fool all the PEG
ple part of the time and part of the people
all of the time: but you can fool all the PEG
ME all the time" The labor troubles in that
district are causing much more talk away
from Pittsburg than they are right there.
The Republican press of the country has said
that the tariff has nothing to do with wages,
and the voters are going to take 1t mt It's
word ibis time. The action of Jones Lauh-

Keep 1t Before The People.

1t cannot be too often told, or too thor
oughly understood, that the Mckinley
system of tariff taxation, along with the
Blaine side-show of sham reciprocity, makes
enormously dearer to the American con-
sumers a multitude of necessaries. This
is nowhere better illustrated than in prices
charged for manufactures Of wool, real or
pretended. The worsted shawl, for exam
plc which the American farmer S or work
iugman's wife wears, is taxed l57 per cent,
The Mckinley law about doubled the taxes
on ready-made garments. Cheap ingram
carpets. such as cover the floors OF the
thrifty poor, are taxed more than 100 per
cent. Gloves, such as are worn by work
women, cost twice as much in this coun-
try as they do abroad. So we might run
through the list, and everywhere 1t Is the
poorer and Woodworking classes, the pro-
ducing classes, who are heavily burdened.

Shut Out from Market.

The st. Louis Republic says: Texas papers
report the movement across that State OF large
quantities of corn from Kansas for San LUIS
Potosi and other portions of Mexico i'll which
food crops have been destroyed by drought.
Ii is said that this corn sells at so cents a
bushe in Eagle Pass, on the Rio Grande,
and at 81 so and s. bushel in San Luis
Potosi.
The exorbiiant price the Mexican drought
sufferers are paying for bread indicates, oil
course, that the supplies brought in are ln-
adequate to the demand. The reason the i'm
portations are no larger is simply that Mexico
has practically no trade relations with the
United States. In other words, Mexico does
not send across the Rio Grande any product
to be sold and the money is invested in corn.
Kansas has plenty of corn, which her
farmers would be glad TO exchange for Mex
lean dollars. The Mexicans are eager to get
corn from Kansas, and they have product
that would easily enable them to buy Kansas
corn if they were allowed to sell it in the
United States.
But Mckinley, of Ohio, with his wonderful
tariff act, stands in the way, starving the
Mexicans and keeping the Kansas corn grow
ers out of profitable market Before Nc
Kinley blocked the way the Mexicans used to
send across the Rio Grande tons upon tons OF
their silver-bearing ores, which are eagerly
wanted by three fourths of the silver miners
and smeters of our silver mining States.
These ores are needed by our smelters to be
used as a fux with our dry ores. The Nc
Kiney prohibitive tariff has completely shut
them out of this country, thus adding to the
cost of silver production to all except few
favored miners and smelters; depriving the
Mexcans of the means of buying bread, and
shutting up the Kansas farmers to the alter
native of burning their corn or selling It in
less profitable markets than they might find
in Mexico. Verify, great is Mckinley.

How the Senate Will Stand.

The Phiadelph Times says: Some of
our contemporaries have been exhibiting the
refinement of political calculation to figure
ont the uolitical complexion of the United
States Senate in the next Congress, but all
such work is Il waste of time, figures and
energy.
The United States Senate is now most
uncertain political body, and It's party com
plexion in the next Congress does not depend
upon the accidents of senatorial elections. IT
is nominally Republican today by six major
ity over all; but that party majority Is liable
to perish in one night.
The United States Senate OF the next Con
sress will be Republican or Democratic as
The ualiGg shall elect Il Republican or Demo
cratic President jp November next, and no
local revolution ia States are likely to change
il. The present Senate is IN transition
state, much like the Democratic Senate of
1856 when Hamlin led off in revolt against
his party.
If President Harrison shall he re elected
the present Senate will continue TO be nomi.
nally and. rs y rule, actually Republican, and
the Senate of tho new Congress will likely be
Republican II Mr.. Cleveland shall be elected
on the Sth of November the morning of the
9th will see the present Senate no longer Re
publican and both it and the Senate of the
new Congress will be substantially Demo
cratic.
Those who do not see the inevitable drift
of the present Senate are either ignorant OF
the true situation OF they deceive themselves.
! There are not less than dozen Republican
Senators who are not in sympathy With the
party ON the two leading issues Of the present
contest, viz the force bill and the Mckinley
tariff, and the defeat of Harrison would be
the signal for the general disintegration Of
l Republicanism both in the West and in New

form Senate would be one of the first fruits

Political Notes.

The Rocky Mountain News, Colorado, bolts
the head of the peoples party state ticket
selected by the district convention. 1t says
editoriaIly that David H. Waite, the nominee
chosen for Governor, is not possessed of the
qualities to make him safe Governor should
he be elected. Among the reasons why Mr..
Waite should not be elected, it says, are that
he is opposed to organized labor, and that he
has through his paper, the Union Era, as
saulted members of a certain religious denom-
ination. The News approves the remainder
of the ticket.
The New York Herald says; THE expendi-
lures for pensions for the fiscal year ending
June 80 1892, as now officially stated,
amounted to $l34, 5s3, 052.79. In the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1891. we paid Sl24, AS.
95l. 40. while in the year before that We paid
SI09, 1857 ,534. In the last ten years our PEN
sion payments have amounted to SIG, 282,
IOO.07. The cost of the German army, it
may be interesting to note, is for this year
estimated at $s0,979,73S. Besides our pen
sions our army costs 10000, 600"
