bitter sarcasm; the time has been when,
as the Brooklyn 7Ihes puts it, ''the hope OF
the free trade party, which aims to give
England control of our markets. resided
In the rebel vote of the South and the
Irish vote of the NORTH" but that time has
passed never to return. Thousands OF
Irishmen all over tire country today vote
the Republican ticket, for they have come
to agree with the late Mr. Parneil that
what Ireland needs to rehabilitate her in
dustries is protection, and the study of the
story Of the ruin wrought by British free
trade" applied to Ireland has taught them
what to expect if free trade replaces pro-
lection in America.
The Irish-Americans at the West at
least are becoming independent Of politi-
cal serviiity to the Democratic party.
There is a fiourishing Irish Republican
club in Indianapolis which bears the
name of Patrick Egan. our able minister
to Chile; and such clubs are multiplying
every year all over the West. The wis
time sheepish devotion to the free trade
Democracy is recognized and encouraged
by no less man than Roman Catholic
Archbishop Ireland, of st. Paul. The
Dolgeville, n. Y. Herdld, in a recent ar
ticle entitled, 1.-THE Irish and the Tariff,
says:
Every Irish -American who votes the Demo-
cratic freq trade ticket this fail votes against
tbs country OF his adoption and in favor OF Eng
land, the very country TO which he owes not
only the suppression of his political rights and
liberties, but the rnin, through free trade, of
Irsland's industries.
tits fight between the British manufacturers
aud employers and the American manufacturers
and employers
II a fight between the standard of wages paid
in England as against the standard of wages paid
In this country.
1t is fight in which the Irish-Amsrican has q
vital interest, for If he had not sent the money
he has sent to his brethren in Ireland to keep
up the struggle for Independence they must
have succumbed, and he could not have sent
this money had he not been getting In America
far higher wages than he got in Ireland and
England, and so had a surplus after he had
paid for his living, his clothes and other sx-
penses.
Let the Irish-American think the situation
over carefully.
Let him think what it will mean to him i'm
dividually, to his native land If he helps to
deliver over this country to the industrial
supremacy of England.
If he wants o laborer's days work to be paid
at and shillings day, against and 8 shil-
lings day. then he must vote the Republican
ticket, he must vote for the protection Of the
higher standard OF wages.
When the English manufacturer, the English
employer. pays a. good wages as the American
manufacturer and employer we viii talk about
FREQ trade, but not till then.

THE DEMOCRATIC ANNEX.

The report from jefferson county that
the Peoples party is generally regarded
as a sham originated solely for the pur-
pose of defeating the Republican ticket
and aiding the Democratic party is con.
tirmed by reports from all parts of the
country. A st. Paul dispatch to the New
York Times of September q says:
From Olympia, Wash, comes the news that
the deal for fusion in Washington viii be put
through next week. The plan Is TO surrender
the state ticket TO the Peoples party they with
drawing their electors and voting for Cleveland.
dispatch from Grand Forks says the two
Peoples electors will be withdrawn and the
names Of the Democratic candidates substituted.
The Peoples party's third nominee Is already on
the Democratic ticket. and has pledged himself
TO vote Tor Cleveland If elected.
Idaho and Wyoming and south Dakota aud
Montana will be IN line as soon as plans aiSeady
agreed upon can be carried out
II has been plain for some weeks past
that the Peoples party in this state was
nothing bat Democratic annex. The
Peoples party column in the Telegraph is
the most intensely Democratic part of that
piebald paper. Undoubtedly the expenses
of the so-called Peoples party in these
parts are paid out of the Democratic sack,
for il is not likely that the grand master
of the local guild Of jawsmiths ever ex-
ponds for the party any of the nickels he
gathers from the sale of his lunatic cam
paign literature.
By the time election day arrives every
man IN the Peoples party that prefers the
election of Harrison to that of Cleveland
will have returned 10 the Republican
camp, SO that the Democrats will get no
votes from the Republican ranks outside
OF ihe small quadrenuiai crop Of party
'soreheads" who never fail 10 posture as
patriots" independents" or reform
ers," when they are really nothing but de-
serters ''for revenue only"
The delusion that Weaver can carry an =
states at the South has spent itself, and
the perception that Weaver cannot carry
any states at the South will kin has
chances 20 carry any states at the North
except Nevads. The result will be that
Democrats and Republicans will 3. rule
return 20 their respective party camps Jus;
IS they did in $50, and Leave Weaver with
a very small vote.
The Peoples party Is nothing but q
Democratic device to dcmoralixe the Re
| publican ranks and persuade unthinkinr
| voters 10 throw away their votes on
Weaver to The indirect aid and cosasor. a
l the Democratic paxsy.

ONE-sIDED FUSION.

The observation-disclosures has repeatedly
warned those members of the Peoples
party who are honest in its support. that
they were being misled by those whose
sole objects were personal gain and a de-
sire to assist the Democratic party. WASH
ington is a Republican state. The De-
mocracy knew this, and it has labored
strenuously to create a diversion by which
q number Of Republican voters could first
be led away from their party allegiance.
hoping that they might then be driven
into the Democratic ranks.
The false leaders Of the Peoples party
are even now arranging combination with
the Democracy under which the Demo-
Gratis secure pretty much everything and
the Peoples party voters secure nothing.
The plan in view is for Mr.. Munday, the
Democratic candidate for congress, to
withdraw and for the Democrats to with
draw their electoral ticket. This will leave
one Democrat and one Peoples party cam
didate for congress and the Democratic
state ticket.
Under such an arrangement, of course,
the Democrats get almost every thing.
The Peoples party secure one candidate
for congress and that only. The votes of
the electors, if cast for Weaver, would, of
course, be equivalent to votes cast for
Cleveland. and no man who does not de-
sire Cleveland's election will support
them.
If fusion is carried out ON this line as
now proposed the effect will be to restore
the campaign in Washington to the old
lines OF square fight between Democracy
and Republicanism. And in such a con-
test there can be little doubt as to the re-
suit.

ceedingly reckless statement that the tariff
taxes make one-half of all the people of
Pennsylvania pay for woolens--clothes,
carpets. and all other WOODEN products.

this statement down to absurdity when it
says:
The svera-e suit OF clothes for tho average

on that sui, amounts 10 Sc. and but for the tart

from protecronlst. said that he would
not lower the duties on anything ,ror,,

bushel on wheat and potatoes; ef5 cents
pound on meal and chickens; OF cents .
pound on butter; Of 5 cents & dozen on
eggs, and like duty on everything else
the farmer produces: but he would knock
into smithereens the import duty on
hats. coats, pants, vests. shiHss. under
wear, women's apparel from bonnet to
base, carpets, curtains, blankets, sheets,
glass, furniture, cutlery. salt. sugar, table,
cloths, tinware, china and glassware, stone.
lumber, iron. steel, and handkefchiefs."
To this admission the pretectionlst
effectively rejoinsd:
These are "the uscessafiee OF life9 he would
"chespsn 70 the common people" che amount
of duty he would knock OF Of hats lie puts at 80
per cent, and everything else In proportion.
How would this work. A derby sr straw hat
now costing $L25 at . retail store with 90 per
cent knocked or would leave Just = cents for
the workman who made the hat, the manufac-
turer, the Wholesale dealer, and che RETAIL dealer.
In other words Col Mcclure would 5educe the
wages OF all who work in American aOrkshops,
factories aud In the mechanical trades to the
level of the pauper-paid wages of5Europe. OK
even below 1t, aud because he grows cabbages
and potatoes he would maintain tie duty Of 8
cents q head on cabbagss and Is cents . bushel
on potatoes.
The effect Of this would be to cosnpel pretty
much every American workman to steal for .
living, If he preferred the penitensiary to the
almshouse
