The Peoples Office.

Mr.. Cleveland's letter to General
Bragg has the flavor of patriotic frank
ness that comes with every utterance
from the ex-President, and one SEN
tence in that letter should specially i'm
press the American people at this time,
when raids upon the Presidency are
common among small politicians.
Cleveland declares that 1.-the Presiden-
cy is pre-eminently the peoples Office, .
and he adds: Il cannot bring myself to
regard the candidacy for the place as
something to be won by personl strife
and active self-assertion.
1t is true, as Mr.. Cleveland says, that
'.the Presidency is pre-eminently the
peoples Office" and it is high time
that the people themselves should ap-
preciate this important fact. 1t is the
highest civil trust of the world, and
the man who is called to the Presidency
should be the choice of the considerate
judgement of the American people
selecting public servant to discharge
the most responsible duties under our
free institutions. 1t is the one office of
the Republic to which the President
elect should bring the highest dignity
of character and the clearest record of
manlinesS, and only men who can thus
come to the highest honors of the I'm
ion should be regarded as within the
list of possible Presidential candidates.
Unlike most Presidential aspirants,
Mr.. Cleveland always means precisely
what he says. He has at times suffered
much from his candor in expressing
his views upon public questions, but
time has always indicated the sound
ness of his judgment and the integrity
of his convictions. He is the one pub
lie man of the nation to-day who ever
dares to be right, to speak for the right
and to act for the right as he con-
scientiously understands it, and that is
why he is to-day the choice of an over
wheiming majority of the people of
the nation, who desire change in the
political power of the national govern
ment. He fully fills the bill of man
who regards the Presidency as ..pre-
eminently the Office of the people. -

Col. Ingersoll, on being asked what
the effect would be on labor if we
adopted Free Trade, replied: IF Free
Trade could be adopted tomorrow there
would be an instant shrinking of val
ues in this country. Probably the i'm
mediate loss would equal $4,000. 900,
O00-that is to say, one-third of the
value of the country. All things are
so interviewer that to destroy one in
dustry cripples another, and the influ-
ence keeps on until it touches the
circumference of human interests.
Fifty years ago, the very same story
as the above was current in England,
when free trade was agitated in that
country. Instead of things getting
worse, they have Justify grown better
every year. 1t would be the same in
this country if a similar policy of free
trade was adopted-Col. Ingersoll to
the contrary Notwithstanding.

A VERY complete, and doubtless an
eye-opening diamond exhibit, will be
made at the Worlds Fair by, Cape Col
ony, South Africa. The exhibit will
include 10000 carats of uncut stones, a
large quantity of very fine cut and pol
ished ones, together with all that is
necessary to show the process of min
ing and washing. For this it will be
necessary to transport to Chicago 100
tons of pulverized blue earth, so tons
of unpulverized earth and complete
washing machine, which will be oper-
ated by natives. The exhibit will also
include unique collection of crOcidol-
tie, special diamondiferous products,
ostrich feathers, f1eeces, etc. 1t is re-
ported that Bushman and Hottentot
in native dress will accompany the ex-
hibit.

A NOVEL strike has taken place al
Milnesville, Pa. The coal companies
employ doctors to attend to their en-
ployees the year round and deduct sew
enty-five cents monthly from the pay OF
the men to remunerate the doctors.
Eight hundred men held a meeting and

they will employ their own doctors
when they need them. The coal COM

AMONG the '.NutS for Free Traders
to Crack published by our esteemed
contemporary last week, and evidently
copied from the paper sent out (printed
on one side only, for use of Republican
editors) by the Protective Tariff League,
we reproduce the following. The pur-
pose is to show how Protection makes
everybody rich and happy, and that
Free Trade is breeder of paupers.

their adversaries, are quite as solicit

are the Carnegies, the Algers, and their
following. If England, under Free

says England has four paupers to
