The Peoples Coincidence In Mr.
Cleveland

"
Several eminent Democratic politi.
clans who have returned within a
few days from tour of this State
have expressed surprise at the wide
spread signs of popular support for
Mr.. Cleveland which they found.
They predict, in consequence of their
observations, very large plurality
for him in the election, some of them
placing the figure as high as 10000.
The reasons for Mr.. Cleveland q
strength in the State are known OF
all men. Briefly summed up, they
are that he is an honest man, faith
full and fearless public servant, a con-
scientious executive, true and not
a false friend of the people. He has
uniformly done what he believed to
be right without the slightest regard
to its effect upon his personal for
tunes. The people have watched his
career with increasing confidence and
pride, for while every step of it has
exhibited constantly growing capac-
ity for public affairs, not one step
of it has shown any faltering in the
high sense of duty which has mark
ed it from the outset.
1t would be genuine phenomenon
if man commanding this great pop
ular confidence in his honesty and
usefulness were not able to lead peo-
pie to belief in the causes which he
advocates. To say that the voters of
New York believe in Mr.. Cleveland
as in no other public man of his time,
and yet do not believe in tariff re-
form and will not trust him as the
head of an administration committed
to it, would be an obvious absurdity.
Yet that is what the Republicans
must say if they are going to show
any basis for their claim that Harri-
son can carry New York. They have
to go even further than this and claim
that the voters of this State, after
committing themselves by very large
majorities in two elections in favor
of Mr.. Cleveland's tariff reform views
are now going to turn back and vote
against him.
We have never been able to see any
reason for this extraordinary claim.
At heart the Republicans have no
faith in the claim that there has been
any change in the attitude Of the vo.
tiers of this State toward tariff re-
form. They know that on a square
test of that issue today there is a
large majority in New York against
Mckinley prices and against the
fraudulent adulteration by which
prices nave In many instances been
kept down to their former level. 1t
is this cheat Of putting inferior and
deceptive goods ON the market at the
same prices formerly asked for hon
est and greatly superior goods, which
constitutes the main count in the in
dictment of the Democratic platform
that Republican protection is a
fraud" and the political prophet who
thinks that the voters of New York
State are of such inferior intelligence
that they will fail to realize the full
extent of this fraud will make
serious mistake in his calculations.
New York is tariff reform State,
and it shows no sign Of abandoning
its faith.

President Harrison has made =

The New York Tribune publishes
some data furnished hy Rochester

ed tariff has brought the @cheap

The New Yorss World thus epito-
mizes part Of the clotsing makers
testimony: He claims to show from
his books shat '33B per cent. Of the
cost OF clothing is the cost Of labor
used in making it."
And then the World goes on to say
in explanation, that .sThe duty ON
imported wooden clothing is 495 cents
per pound and so per cent. of the
value This is equivalent to duty
Of 10 or 70 per cent. on manufacture
ed clothing. The duty, therefore,
osteusibly put on clothing to cover
the difference in the cost Of labor
between this country and Europe not
only covers the entire labor cost in
clothing manufactured here, upon
the makers own claim, but nearly
40 per cent. morei'
The Democratic National Conven-
ton declared in it's platform that Re-
publican protection is robbery. Is
this not proven by the Rochester
clothing maker. who is direct bene-
ficiary Of Republican protection, on
the testimony Of bis books as given
by him to the newspaper controlled
by the candidate of bis party for the
Vice Presidency?
OF course Republican protection
is robbery. 1t is an infamous fraud
and swindle upon the workingmen.
1t is put into the statutes on the
plea that it is to help American
labor, that it is simply to balance
the cost of labor abroad and the cost
of labor in this country; yet here, in
the making of clothing, it is shown
by the employing clothing makers
themselves, that it confers bounty
of almost one and half times the
whole labor cost Of goods here. For
every 30 cents they pay out for labor,
in other words, in the making of q
coat, Republican protection gives
them bounty out of the coat pur-
chaser's pocket Of $1.40. And what
is here admitted by the clothing
makers themselves, in the columns
of the leading organ Of Republican
protection in the country, to be true
of their business, is true of practical
ly every other business by which Re
publican protection has been asked
and to which it has been given. Five
hundred strikes in Republican pro-
tected industries since the Mckinley
bill passed, nearly all of them against
a reduction of wages! Not minute

agement Of State affairs. Governor
Fleming takes up these charges one
by one, and makes > complete An.
swer to each.
The Republican platform charges
that new Offices have been created
and salaries increased. Gov. Flem-
ing shows that when the Democratic
party, came into power it abolished
Offices which took from the public
treasury for salaries an amount equal
to the aggregate paid for the salaries
Of the Governor, Auditor, Treasurer,
Attorney General and Superintend-
ent of Schools, all combined; that in
stead OF salaries being increased they
have been decreased. The cost for
salaries 10 1871, the last year Of Re-
publican rule, was 81, $50 more than
1t has been for any year since that
time, and the amount paid for salar-
les during the seven years of Repub-
lican rule exceeds, by $4,000, the
amount paid for salaries during any
seven years Of Democratic rule since
that party came into power.
To the charge Of the Republicans
that the Democrats shave repeatedly
increased for taxing purposes the
lands Of the farmer, thereby adding
to the confessed inequality Of the tax
basis,'' Governor Fleming asserts
that there has been no rcassessment
of the real ess~te in West Virginia
which hxs not benefited the farmer.
lAf the valuations have tended to
eqnalize taxation by increasing the
assessed value Of town property and
wild mineral lands. The re-valua-
ton of the present year has increas-
ed the aggregate value of our real es-
tate about 203 millions and yet the
price per acre of farm lands was in
the aggregate reduced from the pre-
lvious valuation.
To the charge that the Democrats
nave made large debt in fragrant
violation of the Constitution, Gov.
Fleming shows that the administra-
tion has not only made no debt but
it is the first administration since
the formation of the state which has
had at all times found sufficient rev.
enues in the treasury ample to meet
all demands upon it.
In the matter Of comparisons be-
tween the progress and prosperity OF
the state under Democratic rule with
it's prosperity under Republican rule
Gov. Fleming shows that Democrats
are entitled to nearly all the credit
for the States material growth.
Like all the Governors utterances
his speech yesterday shows diligent,
study and careful investigation. 1t

A HARD NUr FOR MCKINLEY

A HARD NUT FOR MCKINLEY
TO CRACK.-Mike Doran, o car
driver in Washington, who had
been a diligent reader of McKinley's
speeches and had been led astray
BY his heresies. has received new
light on the tariff question. Mikes
mother in old Ireland sent him
twelve pairs of WOODEN socks, which
were received at the custom house
by Mikes cousin and brought to
him with a receipt for three dollars.
Thereupon, Nike addressed the fol-
lowing letter to Mckinley:
DEAR SIR read your speeches
in the House of Representatives
during the Fifty-fi Congress when
the tariff bill was under discussion,
in which You asserted and made me
believe that the foreigners paid our
taxes. also read your speech as
presiding officer of the Republican
National Convention at Minneapo-
lis, in which you asserted again
that the foreigner paid our taxes.
My mother sent ms q dozen pairs
of socks from Ireland n few DAYS
ago, each pair being worth about
twenty cents. My cousin who
brought them to me, had to pay
twenty-five cents pair tariff duties
on the socks at the New York Gus
tom House. Will you please be-
kind enough to tell me to what for
eign government l shall apply to
have that three dollars refunded to
me? If the foreigner pays the tax,
as You say he does. I am entitled
to get my money back, but I do
not know just exactly TO what for
eign government to apply, and /
hope you will be kind enough to in
form me by return mail. Yours
truly, MICHAEL DoRAx.

THINGS PRODUCERS WoULD
LIKE TO KEow.-Republican edi-
tors, politicians and Congressmen
ara proclaiming to the country that
the wealth OF the nation has been
largely increased under the opera
tions Of the Mckinley tariff during
the past two years. Admitting this
to be true, we producers would like
some Republican editor or states
man to explain TO NJ where this in
crease Of wealth has gone--in whose
pockets has it found stopping
place? Has the great mass Of pro-
ducsrs reaped any benefit from this
gain, or has it been gobbled By the
protected manufacturers, specula-
tors, trusts, combines and other
monopolistss
Another thing We would like the
protectionists 70 explain to MS Why,
IL the Mckinley law benefits the
mechanic and laborer, they have
not had their shares of this great
increase Of wealth. Why is there
90 much distress among the labor
ing classes? Why 80 many strikes
and disturbances to threaten the
public peace? The election is COM
ing on and the voter is seeking
knowledge so that he may cast his
ballot wisely.
A great many farmers are being
rapidly convinced that there 10
something wrong in the operation
Of the tariff system, and are getting
their eyes open to the fact that this
law gives the manufacturer and
monopolist Q powerful advantage
over the farmer. because, for one
reason, it forces him to sell the pro-
ducts of his labor at prices fixed
in free trade England, in COMPETE
ton with the pauper labor of Eu-
rope, India and Egypt, and to pur-
chase his necessaries of life from
the American manufacturer, who
is protected at the rate of nearly
30 per cent. against the value of
such goods in the markets where
the prices of his produce are fixed.
No wonder the farmer is losing
ground and the manufacturer grow
ing richer under the unequal oper-
atoms of the Mckinley law, and it
10 becoming plain to all intelligent,
fair minded men that this system
which taxes the producer must be
abolished or else the American far
mer and mechanic will soon be re-
duced to a condition Of vassalage.
