Watch Hackett, MIR. President.

The secret circular sent out by Chair
man Hackett, Of the New York Repub-
lican state committee, which looks de-
cidedly like an attempt to work Dudley's
"blocks of five" game in New York,
moves the Springfield MASS Republican
to offer the following warning to Presi-
dent Harrison: "Mr. Harrison perhaps
is not responsible for Hackett's doings,
but he must be aware of the scandalous
direction in which his campaign is being
moved, and he can put stop to it if he
will. He knbws that with the enormous
sums Of money fried out of the protected
manufacturers in 1888, more was done
to debauch the franchise and undermine
the foundation Of a free government
than can repeatedly be endured with
any safety to the nation. President
Harrison cannot afford again to be an
accessory, before or after the fact, in
such a crime against government and
society as was openly committed by the
Republican managers and openly boasted
Of by them in 1885,"

Mckinley Prosperity.

According to President Harrison every
thing is prosperous under the Mckinley
tariff. Is it evidence of prosperity that
10000 workmen during August were on
strike or locked out? Is it evidence of
prosperity that in the iron and steel bust
ness, the most highly protected on the
list, except the clothing of the people,
there has been reduction of wages of
from 10 to 90 per cent? Is Home.
stead an object lesson that high tariff is
for labor and not for capital? Finally
in The Bulletin of the Iron and Steel
Association we find these admissions:
"We have never known a period in
the history Of the American iron trade
when prices have been SO generally low
and unremunerative as during the past
twelve months, and yet production has
never been so great. The explanation
Of the continued low prices is that our
producing capacity is still beyond our
enormous consumptive wants."
Does not this enforce the necessity Of
looking beyond the home market to dis.
pose Of our surplus? Is it not an admis.
sion, coupled with conceded facts, that
McKinleyism has forced down wages
and brought about low and unremuner.
ative prices, the lowest ''in the history

MORAL EVILS OF M'KINLEYlsM.


Hon. Wayne Macveagh, Attorney General
Under Garfield, Arraigns High Tariff.
The economic evils, however great, Of
the Mckinley bill and the unreasonable
system of protection it represents are Of
far less Importance to my mind than the
moral evils which follow in their wake.
In deciding for what purposes the masses
Of the people may properly be taxed, it
must not be forgotten that taxes have a
wonderful capacity for filtering through
all intervening obstacles till they reach
the bowed back of toll and rest there,
and therefore th+ giving Of bounties
under any form Of taxation is mainly
the giving away OF the wages of labor.
The sad truth that the curse of the poor
is their poverty is illustrated in nothing
more clearly than in the undue share
they suffer of the burdens Of taxation.
But apart from this consideration,
ought not taxes only to be imposed as
required for public purposes, or may
they also be imposed for the pecuniary
advantage of such persons or classes as
are able to control congressional action
in their favorP 1t seems to me like a
travesty on taxation to require, as the
Mckinley bill does, the farmer who
grows corn in Indiana to pay bounty
to the farmer who produces cane sugar in
Louisiana. or to require the farmer who

Cleveland and the Young Men.

The New York Tribune enjoys the dis
tinction of being perhaps the most
blindly partisan Republican journal in
the United States. Nevertheless it shows
in the following words, from its leading
editorial of Oct. /, that it has correct
understanding of the causes of Grover
Cleveland's popularity among the young
men of this country;
The esteem in which Mr.. Cleveland
has heretofore been held by great num-
ber of his fellow citizens has proceeded
from the belief that he was bold and
uncompromising advocate of his own
conscientious convictions; that he was
possessed in fact by that courage of
opinion which, just verging on willful-
ness and rashness, has often availed to
captivate the popular mind and heart.
To this estimate of his moral qualities
Mr.. Cleveland owes in great degree the
admiration which he has inspired in
many young and ingenious persons
and most OF the panegyrics to which the
country has listened with conflicting
emotions during the last eight years.

iclsed' the Democrats as "croakers'' and
calamity prophets" will be panied to
see that their own leaders have become
SO deeply alarmed that they have taken
up their tale of woe and are making the
air blue with prophecies of ruin. Chair
man Tom Carter gives out to his Repub-
lican organs an interview in which he
shows that he is wrestling with fear and
doubt; but he nevertheless hopes that
"the common sense of the people will
prevent turning the country over to
final ruin"
Chairman Carriers doleful forebodings
are fortified with awful politicarweather
predictions by Senator Aldrich and Secre-
tary Charles Foster. These two prophets
of evil assure the American people that if
Cleveland is elected the United States
senate and house will also be Demo.
cratic, and Foster says that "such re-
suit would be an undisguised calamity
to the American people" .-
Another cup of calamity croakers!
The Republican outlook for victory on
Nov. s has made the prophets unusually
blue. They should brace up. Theil
ruin does not mean the country's ruin.

QUOTING BRITISH OPINIONS.
But We Are Intelligent Enough to Decid
for Ourselves What We Want.

But We Are Intelligent Enough to Decide
for Ourselves What We Want.
Nothing illustrates better the pitiable
plight of the Mckinley organs than
their silly attempt to prejudice Mr..
Cleveland with American voters by
quoting from English and Canadian
papers. Every intelligent voter must
see that this is an utter abandonment Of
reason and argument. 1t isN confession
that Americans dare not use their own
minds to think out what is the best sys-
tenn Of taxation for themselves.
The voters of the United States showed
Enthusiastically in the elections of 1890
that they want no McKinleyism. All
signs indicate that they are of the same
opinion still and are about to reiterate
their opinion with renewed emphasis.
But at this Juncture President Harrison
steps in with quotation from an Eng
lish paper, and his organs one and all
follow his example and vie with each
other in finding the most telling quota
tions for influencing the American voter.
The other day four track air line
railroad to run between New York and
Chicago was chartered. The people of
Chicago want the new road, and so dc
the people of New York. Business men
in Chicago are not alarmed when they
read in the New York papers that the
people of New York want the road built
and expect to profit by it, for they rec.
ognize the simple fact that trade is prof
liable to both parties engaging in it.
The buyer cannot get terms from the
seller except upon basis which is mu-
tually satisfactory.
The Englishman wants to sell his
goods to us because he thinks he can do
so at profit. Shall we quote his news
papers and decline to trade with him
because we are not able to trust our own
business judgment as to what is good
bargain for us2 We are quite ready to
sell him our wheat and cotton, and Re-
publicans themselves delight in showing
us how much of these commodities John
Bull has to buy from US, and how great
profit this brings to our farmers. But
If Americans are shrewd enough to sell
to John Bull at profit they can surely
be trusted to buy from him at like
profit.
1t is time to have done with this silli-
ness of quoting British opinions We
have reached years Of discretion, and
can decide for ourselves what we want.

The American Manufacturer, prom.
inent protectionist trade paper of Pitts
burg, quotes the prices of tin plate in
New York and London, from which il
clearly appears that the American con
sumer is paying the Mckinley tin plati
tax in large doses. The price of Bes-
semer plates, /. G. coke finish-which is
the standard grade--was $500 box in
New York on Sept. 2s, while the cable
from London reported the price there on
the same grade to be twelve shillings,
or $500. The difference is $3.50, and
the Mckinley tax is $2.37 on a box
weighing 100 pounds.

tragedy than travesty to tax the masses
of the people to increase the wealth of
the very wealthy owners of most of our
protected industries.
But even such inequality and injustice
are the least of its evils, for while such
a system endures political corruption is
absolutely sure to increase, as such a
system not only invites but it requires
the corrupt use of money both at the
polls and in congress. 1t is of its very
essence that STAT" shall be ''fried" out OF

do the "frying" or who shall happen to

AN important step has been taken
after due consideration by Postmaster
General Wanamaker, who has issued
an order authorizing po4tmasters IN
free-delivery cities to provide for the
collection aud delivery Of mail matter
at house door. Sevt raj boxes out of a
large number OF designs submitted
have been selected, aud householders
are to have the privilege of choosing
which one of the accepted designs
they please. BY means Of an auto
matte signal the postmsn can readily
determine whether there is anything
for him to take from a box, while let
ters, etc., for delivery are TO be placed
10y him in the box, and the people in
the house informed by an agreed upon
signal. This will be great saving of
trouble for those having mail m tier
TO be posted, and experiments have
shown that it saves the time of the
carriers. The boxes are to be put in
at the householder's expense, on any
route when two thirds of the people
d9sire to adopt the new system. In
all probability it will speedily become
popular aud its use general.
