HISTORY REPEATS.
DISASTROUS PREDICTIONS AS PLEN-
TIFUL YEARS AGO AS NOW.

All Sorts of Calamities Were FOretOld II
England Got Free Trade-She Has 1t,
and Under 1t Has Improved I'm Every
Way-The Figures That Prove This.
We notice that some of our Republic
an contemporaries are going back forty
years in order to find quotations in ref
erence to the tariff, and they are going to
English sources, too, for their literature
Fifty years - even forty years ago
there was a strong protective party in
England. Protection was popular, espe-
cially among the landed aristocracy.
The great land owners cared nothing for
the condition of the English laborer on
the farm or elsewhere, and even less if
possible for the prosperity of England's
commerce.
These land owners, therefore, opposed
strenuously and bitterly the abolition of
the corn laws-that is, of laws imposing
tax on grain imported from foreign
countries. They wanted high rents,
and to get them were willing to shut
foreign grain out of their home market,
even at the risk of pauperizing millions
of their fellow subjects.
These English landlords occupied ex-
actly the position occupied today by the
factory lords of Pennsylvania and New
England.
The contest there, as here, was con-
test between the privileged classes on
the one hand and the oppressed masses
on the other.
The English people had to fight their
masters for free bread, as the American
people have to fight their masters today
for free clothing.
Each contest is but chapter in the
story of liberty. The corn law uprising
in England was as much strike against
oppression as was the execution of
Charles l.
In America the Chicago platform Of
1892 is a secc nd declaration of independ-
ence. Neither movement Is isolated;
each is one Of a connected series OF
events Leading the Anglo-Saxon to a con-
dition of fullest freedom and greatest
prosperity.
AS matter of course, then, our Re
publican friends win seek and find in
English history forty or fifty years ago
arguments they are using and propne-
cies they are uttering today.
Then, as now, free trade advocates
were denounced as unpatriotic, selfish
and mercenary. Then, as now, the op-
ponents of commercial freedom pr0phe-
sied all manner Of evil and untold calam-

Snort for the Dog.

The most laughable thing have seen
lately was the discovery of a new kind
of game by lively young setter dog. 1t
was in large dry goods store where
cash is sent 10 the desk in little boxes
whirring along ON slender rails. The
dog was following his pretty mistress
sedately enough, when he heard the
sound and saw the swift fight of the
of the cash box. He thought it was "a
bird, and tore up and down the aisles
after it, scattering the crowd and anus
ing everybody in sight. AS he would
not be convinced of his illusion, he had
to be removed forcibly from what he
probably thought the. best hunting
ground he had ever struck. - Kate

Profection Ia a Fraud.

Justice is simple matter. There is
something in every mans breast that en-
ables him to see and to know it. If he
will but deal fairly with himself. The
knowledge of good and evil is intuitive.
Self interest and self deception may
smother it in places, but the mass of
mankind cannot and will not repress it.
They know that this idea of protection
il not only a fraud, but lie. They
know that it must be destroyed-not a
little of it. not part of it, bat oil of it
if justice is to be done. Bogus statistics
have served the purpose of the men who
have used them. They have confused
some of the people and delayed judg-
ment. That is all. They cannot stay
the avenging hand much longer.-Chi-

In England, as the titles of nobility
are limited and cannot be usurped by
fictitious characters without detection.
they confer degree of consideration
upon the possessor far superior TO what
is observed in foreign countries, where
they are abundant to an extreme and
where every needy adventurer can as
sumo them. A German baron. in de-
rision, on race course n few days since
observed to u French marquis that the
title of marquis was very common in
France. IL" added he. "have marquis
in my kitchen" "And l." retorted the
Frenchman, who felt insulted, "have "A
German baron in my stable" This
repartee was particularly happy. it being
well known that German grooms are "a
common ont of their country as are
French cooks. 1t affords just lesson.

not men TO abandon party for light

know it TO be on wrong ground and ad-

The Republicans show great fear of
the result in November when they rush
into the supreme court Of the United
States with motion to declare the Mich.
igan electoral law unconstitutional. The
Michigan legislature did what the con-
stitution of the United States contem-
plates-provided the manner of choos-
ing the presidential electors. So clearly
constitutional is the law that the Repub-
ican supreme court of Michigan sus-
tanned it. Except from motives Of fear
of the electoral vote in other states the
Republicans would not express their
weakness by carrying this matter to

The HaIlying Song of the People,

lAir- THE Menagerie,"l
Come now, my lads, another song,
Wen make the welkin ring;
Let's raise shout for Stevenson,
And Cleveland, too, Well sing.
Wen show the ofiiceholding Rada
The way we do the thing;
From Florida 10 Oregon
This chorus we will sing;
CHORUS,
Then hurrah for Stevenson,
Hurrah for Stevenson,
Iiurrah, hurrah for Stevenson,
Hurrah for Cleveland too.
They tax the farmers heavily,
Just to enrich few;
Opposing labor's honest claims,
Aud say they'll never do.
Oh, well, they play the game of braR.
And do the bullying, too;
But we're the boys can use them up:
Alreadysthey look blue.
All, such set of hypocrites!
They favor everything:
"We love the workman nightly"
Is now the song they sing,
While labor cheap is what they crave
The toilers they'd hoodwink.
Though Benny goes one eye on them,
There's humbug in his blink.
The farmer boys are true as steel,
And fear not Dudley's floats,
The fat will fry In vain for them,
RAIDS cannot buy their votes.
Our cause is just and thrive 1t must,
Well take their fort by storm.
Then swell the chorus; raise the shout
For Cleveland aud reform.
Before November's ides appear
The RAIDS will find decreed
That up Salt river Ben must go
Along with Whitelaw Reid.
Oh, up SAL river they must go.
Ben and his plundering pack,
And on the way this dirge they'll sing,
You brought US here, Bill Nc"
