A Good English Candidate.

That Cleveland could carry England,
there need be no doubt. They know
who their friends are. The London
Graphic of June % said:
"Englishmen will watch Mr. Cleveland's 9
campaign with cordial sympathy for, not only
is his tariff policy in accord with the orthodox
economic school OF England, but his party
platform wisely condemned the arrogant and
Irritating foreign policy of its opponents"
The London Star of June "a declares:
"Mr Cleveland is the best type of the Ameri-
can statesman and If he does not win it will be
because he Is too sound reformer"
The London Post declares that
IA republican victory at the polls in Novem-
Der would be blow to the free trade party in
the states and would retard, for considerable
period, the progress Of those sound commercial
commercial greatness and alone maintain
British commercial ascendency"
The great London journal, Engineer
ing, says that
"There is somewhat general idea In this
country that the Mckinley tariff bill will be re-
pealed before long or at all events be so much
modified that the sting will be taken out of
those clauses most Objectionable to British
manufacturers; and it is for this reason that
the hopes of the democrats for the approach
ing presidential election are so largely shared
In this country"
Wait until the votes are counted in
November and you will feel the Nc
Kinley sting more than ever.

Gov. Filter is conducting manly and
dionifed canvass which commends him
to right thinking men of all parties.
In marked contrast is that OF his mil
nonaire opponent, who has steeped him
self in mire that he may cover his ad-
versaries with mud.
Gov. Fifer is one whose history Is 30
well known that it demands no repeti-
ton. When a mere lad he entered the
army and emerged at the close OF the
war a man and q, hero Although
great sufferer from wounds received IN
battle he courageously went to work
and educated himself with the labor OF
his own hands. Lawyer, legislator
governor, citizen and neighbor, he ills
Fhe measure Of complete manhood. In
vite all his neighbors to testify OF him
and not one will refuse to accord to
him the need of honesty and upright
ness. Scorning untruth, his word is
his bond everywhere. His administra
tion reflects credit upon the state and
adds to his own honor. Can any man
name a single virtue in which Judge
| Altgeld excels him?
True Gov. E11er Is poor dnu ou"se
| Altgeld is rich, but everybody can't be
rich, and If poverty was sin there
would be no hope of evangelizing the
world for the next 10000 years.
Judge Altgeld calls upon the Luther
ans to support him In preference to sucf
& man, alleging that he would, i
elected, seek to repeal the obnoxiou
features Of the compulsory education
law. Gov. Fifer has made the SAM
pledge, and there Is not man VIII
knows him but will put his word agains
Altgeld's every day in the week, and OF
Sunday, too.
Wherein is Altgeld's superiority tina
he should demand the support OF goo
men? Was he soldier? If so he ism
very proud of it, for no one has eve
heard him talk about it. Is he an abi
LAWYER? So is Fifer. If any man know

How Labor Is Benefited.

Protective duties levied in this man
ner," he continued, shave but one pur-
pose, and can have but one effect, that
is to protect American labor and to
maintain the existing high level of
wages and earnings of American work
men. When such duties are removed or
reduced below the protective point la
Dor receives the full force of the blow.
"While it is not claimed that protec-
tive tariffs guarantee any particular
scale Of wages in particular industry,
and while tariff rates cannot be based
directly on the difference in ascertained
wages, or even in the relative earnings
of people in competing countries, it will
be readily seen that, by the rule have
laid down, this difference becomes indi-
rectly the basis upon which all duties
are levied, as tariff rates are fixed by
the difference In the cost of production
between competing countries, and the
difference in the cost of production In
the final analysis consists of differ
ence in wages or earnings. ."-Senatex All

we must at once proceed to educate the
young men relative to the pernicious
effects of the proposed measure. Those
old enough to remember the trouble
before, will have no more of it.
Mr.. Foreman, of Illinois, speaks as an
apologist for the do-nothing congress
just ended, and crates on the evils of
over-legislation. He illustrates the
mania for introducing bills by quoting
the advice of an old legislator to new
one. The old one said:
During my first session introduced
three bills which became laws. During
my second session / had two Of these
laws repealed. During my third session
| will try to have the other law re-
pealed, and when have done that will
consider my legislative service a sue
cess"
If"how not to do it" Is the acme of leg
islative wisdom, we take pleasure In CIV
ing Mr.. Foreman formula for working
it out by short cut rule. Let candidates
Of Mr.. Foreman's caliber, who are
afraid to ''over-legislate," observe care
fully the following recipe given gratis:
A-Refuse to be nominated.
B-Refuse to serve, If elected.
C-Let the people refuse to nominate
or elect all do-nothing apologists OF
the Foreman pattern.
The Golden club assistants of the
English capitalists, who are always In
effort to break down well-paid Ameri-
can labor, have been challenged re-
peatedly to back up their false state
ment, that the Mckinley bill had In
creased the cost of living to the La
borer, by producing the figures. But
the figures all come from the other
side. Two hundred and fourteen arti-
cles are listed, of comfort and necessity
in the home life of the laborer, on
which the price has been cheapened
since September, 1891.
While Gov Hamilton has considered
himself as out of politics, for some time
past, his love for a true soldier and
high regard for honesty in or out Of
politics would not permit him to remain
silent when Adlai imposed on the pub
lie by posing as soldier. Hamilton
knew the true inwardness OF Adlai's
record as pull-back in war times, and
deserves the thanks of all republicans
for writing it up as he did.
1t seems never to have entered into
the thought of democratic free trade
orators that all their prating about
government protecting Carnegie was
falsehool. That enterprising individual
has no individual protection whatever.
Any benefit coming to him from our
tariff laws would have come to anyone
else had they displayed the same ener-
gy and taken the same risk. The way
is open now. Why not start plant,
run it on free trade labor and turn
Carnegie down.

Hon. Frederick Douglass was inter.

regarding his resignation, and
said: 'In no manner whatever
has either the president or the
state department ever intimated
to me that my resignation would be ac-
coptable. On the contrary, / received

died before the expiration OF his term,
and James st. G. Boal of Marshall coun-

was during Boals occupancy OF the
Office that the circumstance related be-

Of Stevenson toward union soldiers.
