The Record Stands.

An organ of the Democracy says of
President Harrison "He can not wipe
out the, Republican record" That is
true-the Republican record can not be
wiped out. 1t is written in imperish-
able monuments-in restored Union,
in the emancipation proclamation, in
the constitutional amendments, in the
resumption of specie payments and in
pension laws that provide for the de-
clining years of every veteran of the
war for the Union, in the Mckinley
law, which has made America indus
trially independent in the magnificent
growth of our trade through reciproc-
ity, in the dawning revival of the
American merchant marine and the
construction OF navy that commands
the respect of every foreign power.
The Republican record can not be wip.
ed out without obliterating the history
of all the progress the Nation has made
in the last thirty years. That record
alone furnishes ample reasons for Dem
ocratic defeat.-New York Press.

RICHFIELD SPRINGS, N. Y, Sept 10.
To the Editor of the American Econo-
mist:
SIR-In common with many other
Democrats, can not follow the leaders
of the party in denOuncing Republican
protection as fraud upon the labor of
the great majority of the American
people for the benefit of few nor
can / subscribe to the doctrine that
protective tariff is unconstitutional. l
have no pecuniary interest in manufac-
lures, but l know what protection has
done and is doing for this country. If
it operates for the benefit of the few, l
am not one of that few. l am one of
the many; one of the great majority
benefited by it, including those who
denounce it for the sake of obtaining
political power.
If the leaders of political party, as
sembled in national convention for the
purpose of nominating candidates for
Presidency and Vice Presidency choose
to stultify themselves by falsifyiug bis
tory, they can not expect to be follow
ed by others who have any habits of
independent thought and action. n
I can not, at the bidding of these
gentlemen, unlean the lessons of my
whole life. . The greater part of my
long life has been passed in the study
of American political history and con-
stitutional law. If can not claim to
be an authority on such subjects, / can
point out to Others the true sources
from which to devise interpretations of
the constitution. Those sources are not
to be found in recent Congressional
speeches, whether made by members of
one party or another. They are to be
found in the interpretations given to
to the constitution by the First Con-
gress, by Washington 3 administration,
and by the succeeding administrations
of Jefferson, Madison, John Quincy
Adams and jackson.

tary of the American Protective Tariff

couraging to learn that her symptoms
are more favorable, and it is needless
to say that the hope of her restoration
to health is universal. The whole
country feels an interest in this matter,
partaking more or less of a personal
character, for the reason that all our
citizens, without regard to politics or
party bias, feel an immediate and loyal
interest in whatever effects the welfare
of the President or of the Presidents
household, even though they may be
strangers to both. Whether the Presi-
dent will be able to visit the Capital
during the encampment week depends,
of course, upon Mrs. Harrison 8 condi-
ton. Earnest and enthusiastic as he is
in regard to the great reunion, and re-
luctant as he might otherwise feel to
absent himself on this occasion, he will
remain at his wife's bedside so long as
the emergency renders his presence
necessary. The veterans of the Grand
Army are exceedingly anxious to see
the President and to pass before him in
review, but their anxiety for Mrs. Har-
rison outweighs all other considera-
tions.
The proposition is being discussed
among few citizens and Grand Army
men to agitate at the coming encamp-
ment the idea of the erection in this
city of memorial arch to the Grand
Army of the Republic. 1t is suggested
that it is now good time to discuss
the question of providing lasting tri-
butte in stone and bronze to the achiev-
ments of the men who compose the
army, and whose ranks are rapidly
thinning. 1t is said that the idea often
advanced heretofore of erecting a me-
mortal will eventually crystalize into
result, and that this encampment Of
! fers the most auspicious occasion for
the beginning of it.

The Issues Of the Campaign.

All parties and all citizens are agreed
as to the necessity of raising revenue
to carry ON the Government. The
methods of raising revenue presented
by the Republican and Democratic par
ties in this campaign are diametrically
opposed to one another. The amount
of revenue to be raised in all cases is
the same. The Republicans would levy
tariffs on imports of articles the like of
which can be produced in this country,
thus offering aid and protection to
home labor and domestic industries.
The Democrats declare that tariff
levied on such articles is unconstitu-
tional. In order to raise revenue they
must therefore levy tax on articles
the like of which can not be produced
in this country, or must resort to direct
taxation. There can not, in the nature
of the case, be any home competition
in the making of articles upon which
Democratic tariff is levied, so that
the consumer must pay the foreign
price, plus the tariff duty. On the 9th.
er hand there must be home competi
ton in making articles such as the Re
publicans levy tariff on, thus bring
ing down the price. AS consequence
the foreign producer, in order to hold
place in the market, must pay par
or the whole of the tariff duty.
The difference between the parties, i
will be seen, is ON the fundamental
principles of raising revenue. Demo
cratic success would fairly and rightly
be construed as decision by the peo

pie to abandon the principles avowed
and pursued by Washington, Jeffer-
son, Madison, Hamilton, Jackson, Clay
and Lincoln, and to adopt the tariff
principles of which Calhoun in his la
ter life, Jefferson Davis, Frank Hurd,
Henry George and Grover Cleveland
have been the principal exponents be-
fore the American people.
This is the clear and undeniable issue
before the American people in this
campaign, and there is no other that
can obscure it or overmatch it in i'm
portance.

While the Democratic brethren are
felicitating themselves..over imaginary
gains in Vermont and Maine, the situa-
ton of their party in Alabama grows
from bad to worse, and Representative
Oates warns them that nothing but lots

suggested by the present condition Of
things is: What shall it profit the

votes in Maine and lose the electoral
vote of Alabama?

A Deadly Blow at Labor.


The leaders of the Democracy are
now as truly engaged in an effort to
overthrow the American system of gov
eminent, SO far as it relates to the en-
couragement and protection of labor,
as was the Southern Democracy when
it was attempting to destroy American
institutions.
The protective system has been SO
long in operation in this country that
it may be properly regarded as the
American system. Under it the Nation
has grown great, wealthy and prosper
Gus. There is no land under the sun
where labor brings as much comfort
and where laborers have SO many hap
py homes. Under the most recent re-
arrangement of the tariff, Republi-
can measure from first to last, these
conditions of labor have been further
improved, prices are coming down,
wages are increasing, and production
is multiplying in most gratifying de-
gree. The Peck report proves all this
for the great State of New York by
statistics which can not be disputed.
What is true for the first State in the
Union, must be true for all the rest.
This New York condition may be
called the first returns from the work
ing of the Mckinley tariff. And this
testimony in its favor and in its praise
is Democratic testimony. The business
of the country is rapidly arranging it.
self under the new conditions, and it is
found that the promise of full employ
ment for labor, at good wages, was
never before so good that industrial
enterprises were never before SO rapid
ly developing and that under the rec
iprocity feature of the new law the
trade of the country is receiving sucf
an impetus as has been unknown fo
many years.
These conditions result from the de
velopment of the American system o
promoting trade and manufacturin,
enterprises, and lifting labor above tn
pauper level to the happiest condition
which it has ever known in any land
while there is sure promise of still bet
ter things in the near future.
This is the system which the Demo
cratic leaders are united to destroy. L
fact, they are crying out that the dc
struction of this system is the sole issu
in the present campaign.
To replace its pleasant and solid re
alities they offer laboring men, com
mercial men, and the farming interest
of the country nothing but theory
theory of free trade. Worse still
what they yoffer is an untried theoryhert
1t has never been matter of practic
in this land. This nation has becom
mighty and prosperous beyond any otf
er nation under the protective system
being the only first class power in tn
world that is paying its way.
And the Democracy is attempting
persuade labor to turn away from tn
system which has produced this cond
ton, and adopt in its place a syster
which in all other lands has degrade
labor and sunk it to the level of pat
perism. Do American workmen desir
to risk such a changer Will they vot
,, to exchange the certainties of the pre-
, ent system for hollow and deceitfr
theoryp

The Mckinley Law Vindicated.

The annual report of the Commits
sioner of Labor for New York State,
constitutes an argument for the Nc
Kinley tariff which is absolutely un-
answerable. The report is purely
business and non-partisan document.
This makes it of the highest value as
vindication of protection. Its figures
are official. They were not prepared
with view to help either party. The
sole object of the Labor Commissioners
investigation into the condition of in
dustry in the State was to ascertain
the facts. The collection and publica-
ton of these facts are simply part of
his duty to his employers, the people
of this commonwealth.
Here is Commissioner Peck's official
statement as to the effect produced by
the Mckinley law ON labor in New
York State:
He finds that in the wholesale manu-
factories of this State the wages paid
for the year ending August 81, 1891,
showed an increase over the wages paid
during the year ending August 81, 1890,
of 80, 1887, ,925,O9.
He finds that the net increase of pro-
duction in the same time was 1871, ,315,-
130,6S.
He finds that of 81 industries investi-
gated n per cent. show an increase in
wages or production, or both.
He finds that the number of individ-
ual increases of wages in these indus
tries reported for the year ending Au-
gust 81, 1891, was 89,7l7.
He finds that the average increase in
the wages of the entire 2S5, 900 employees
represented was $23.11, while in fifty
one of the trades represented the aver
age increase in wages per individual
was $49.96.
These statistics demonstrate beyond
all doubt the influence of the tariff in
promoting industrial development, in
creasing production and raising wages.
They prove that under the Mckinley
law the manufacturing industries in
this State are steadily growing more
prosperous; that the level of wages
paid to operatives is being raised year
by year, and that the workingman of
New York is becoming more and more
Independent and more and more able
to surround his family with comforts
and to provide for the future.
The Democratic party is pledged, If II
gets into power, to repeal the Mckinley
law, to destroy it root and branch, and
to put the American workingman in
. open and unrestrained competition with
the pauper labor of Europe. The Re
publican party is pledged to uphold
protection. 1t is the party of prosper
ity. The Democracy is the calamity
party, the party that's for the foreigner
against the American, the party whose
. policy would close factories by the
thousand and lower wages in every
, factory that itd;d not close. The t act
contained in Commissioner Peck's re
port have a significance that not al
the rawlings of the calamity shriekers
, from Grover Cleveland down, can OBJ
scure. They show that vote for Re
publican protection in November is I
vote for steady employment and higher
, wages for the workingmen of America

Maine is All Right.

Maine is All Right.
Democratic claims that the results of
the election in Maine show loss of
Republican strength ON National issues
are as foolish as they are false. Re-
publicans have every reason to be sat
isfied with the figures of Mondays cen
test. 1t was perfectly well known in
advance that the action of the last Re-
publican Legislature in prescribing
heavy penalties for violation of the
Maine Liquor Law was sure to cost the
Republican patty some votes in the
State election. The introduction of the
Australian ballot undoubtedly had
much to do with the size of the total
VOTE These causes, with purely local
issues, the personal popularity or un-
popularity of candidates, and, most
important of all, the fact that Maine
Republicans were so sure of their State
that numbers of them considered it un-
necessary to leave pressing work in
their fields or their stores to go to the
polls, fully accounts for the reduction
in the Republican majority.
1t is worth while, however, in view
of the desperate attempts of certain
Democratic organs to claim the election
as victory for the Democracy to sum-
marize briefly the actual results. Ac-
cording to the latest advices the Maine
Republicans have elected their candi-
date for Governor and every nominee
on the State ticket by nearly $4,000 ma
jority. They have elected their four
Congressman by pluralities aggregating
not less than $4,000. They have made
marked gains in both the State Senate
and the House of Representatives, and
have elected mere than four fjftbs of
the Legislature. They Lave carried
every county in the State. If The Dem
ocrats can extract any satisfaction
from these figures they are welcome to
do SO. In the face of such majorities
as these, obtained on an admittedly
light Republican vote, it is puerile fol
ly for free traders to allege that Maine
is anything but safely and solidly Re
publican.
Even if the Republicans had lost
Maine on Monday the fact would MOI
have altered the certainty of their sue
cess in November. 1t is well to reminC
