Ex-Secretary Blaine having spoken,

Il was the same voice that 40 often

WITHOUT AN ISSUE.

Democrats are weakening. The bold
stand taken for free trade has been
learned 10 be untenable. They are not
denouncing protection as fraud with
striking unanimity. Without an issue
to indicate, or a principle to assert,
they are driven to the only alternative
left them and they are now appealing for
the SURFACES of the people that a
change may be had in the state and
federal administrations. Just why q
change IS to be desired is not stated /.
but on general principles the democrats
want the offices.
The democrats never stick to any
thing but the plea for change. They
recede from their position on the tariff
and confess that free trade Is impos-
sible because revenue must be raised.
Protection must be accorded incident
ally, but weak American industries
must not be fostered by specious dis
elimination. They yelled themselves
hoarse over what they believed TO be O
threat to resurrect the force bill and
saddle negro domination on the south
ern bourbons. Since the Georgia cleo
ton was held the force bill has been re-
tired from discussion and the serene
satisfaction over the result seems to
compensate for the horrible fright
through which they have passed.
The demand for the restoration of
wild-ca banking has relapsed into sin
ocuous deseutude," and there is not a
mourning democrat who has the moral
courage to defend the lil-timed propo-
stion. In short, the democrats are
without an issue, except q demand fol
"a change" This demand has become
familiar by repetition, and its force
/ died out when Grover Cleveland wa:
succeeded by Benjamin Harrison. The
people are satisfied with the present
| federal administration, aud are deter
mined TO return to republican state
administration, in which democratic
change has proved to DO both disap
/ pointing and disgraceful.

Every buznel OF grain farmer owns
represents value. FMS mAiium OF ex-
change through which tbs farmer parts
with possession OF MA grain and be-
comes the possessor OF It's equivalent
IN coal Is called money. The muscle
Of Inc woFkingman when applied TO any
act of repair or production represents
value. Whatever transfers the pur-
chasing power Of that muscle 10 the
ownershlp OF food, land and raIment Is
money. The farmer cannot secure
more money than his products will
command in the market, even though
she circulation Of il DO dlslsnded 70 the
point OF bursting. The laborer cannot
secure more money without expanding
ia eqnlvalen, ia brain and muscle,
even though money were stacked IN
plies as altitudinons as Pixies Peak.
It not more money but more mar
kets that the farmers need. More
markets are secured under the re-
eIprocity clause Of the Mckinley bill
aud by the upbuiiding of home indus
tries wherein thousands Of workingmen
are employed who mus, eat. be clothed
and own houses. Money might be as
plentiful a. the sands on the sea shore,
bat If the farmsxhsd nowhere to sell
and nobody to sell to he would be as
poor AS a church mouse.
IL is not more money, but more OPP
portun.tles for earning 1t that the
workipgmen need. The Mckinley bill
encourages the building OF factories
and workshops and bars out of compe-
tition in our stores and warehouses the
cheap, pauper-produced products OF
me Old World. Men must have work,
or they cannot have money.
Money represents the expendi-
turc of muscle and thought.
II there were pyramids oil
silver dollars, free or otherwise,
stacked up on every street corner the
workingmsn would be in no wise bene'
fitted unless he could earn his leglti'
mate portion of one of them.
These considerations are offered &c
check the senseless drift toward the
Utopisn idea that plenty of money
would make 10 easier for all to live. Il
isn't true. The republican party il
pledged to policy making 1t easier
for everybody to live. Tia; policy ia
10 provide employment for the Ameri-
can masses instead of the European
masses. The democrats say 1t Is s
fraud. But 1t is q fraud that will bear
continual existPucs

Unless figures are mighty deceptive
things there is evidently something
wrong in the valuation of Kent county
property. According to the the state
ment to be found in another column it
will be seen that the valuation of city
property has increased more than half
OF million dollars, while the town.
ship valuations have decreased IN the
aggregate more than a quarter of a
million of dollars. The claim has been
made that the increase in the city is due
TO the annexed territory; but the figures
show that the townships from which
the annexed territory was taken have
decreased only fifty thousand dollars,
yet as an Offset to this the city is as
sessed for half million.
Property may be worth considerably
more as city lots than as farm; but
it is doubtful If the recent annexation
had the power to boom fifty thousand
dollars worth Of farm land to the ex-
tent of four hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars. To the city taxpayer it
looks as if he was being bled for the
benefit of the down-trodden farmer.
The municipal taxes are high enough
at tho best, and the property owners
cannot be blamed if they object to
carrying the burden for the county.

One of the most interesting depart
ments of the general government is
the Pension bureau. In this bureau
the system is as nearly perfect as
human ingenuity can devise. Itworks
80 completely within itself that outside
aid or interference oftener than 9TH
erwise retards the progress of business.
The system IS the fruit of twenty-five
years experience and it embraces
every possible contingency that may
arise. The credit for its splendid eff
ficiency is due wholly to the intelligent
application and fertility of repub ican
officials.
Time was when a congressman was
an important agent in the prosecution
OF pension claims, but that time is past
now. so soon ss 4 claim is filed it be-
comes the subject Of an undertaking
rule of procedure, and neither senator,
Congressman nor judge of the supreme
court can vary Its course. Proofs
necessary TO establish the right of the
claimant are scheduled and written
notice making requisition for the same
IS served upon the party or parties.
When such proofs are filed the
claim u docketed for consideration by
the proper officials and so rapidly is
the work performed that pension il
denied or granted every twenty seconds
IN working day.
The utmost that any official outside
The pension bureau can do Is TO call
T for memoranda showing the condItio q
7 of pension claim, or 70 request that
I It he made especial order" for day
certain. Notwithstanding this the
congressman and senators render
+ effective aid in securing required
proofs. Much of their time 10 devoted
1 10 pension matters, and they naturally
F desire credit for the allowance or in
