Mr.. Cleveland's harsh treatment Of
labor while Governor Of New York is
we'll known and will lose him the votes
Of thousands of workingmen, but it is
not 20 generally known that he added
insult to injury by recommending. while
President. the use Of convict labor in
competition with free labor by the Fed
eral Government. In 1885, in his an
nual message to Congress-, President
Cleveland declared in favorof the estab-
lishment Of federal penitentiarles for
the incarceration OF men convicted
under United States laws, instead of
having them farmed out to various
States, as nov. This, Of itself, was not
an offensive recommendation, but he
added the following, which ought to
rouse the indignation Of every honest
laboring man:
"The considerable cost Of maintaining
these %convicts as at present in State in
situations would be saved by the adop-

Tho situation in Now York.

The temperance OF Senator Hill at
the council board of his party will hardly
alter the situation in New York in any
material degree. This development has
been looked for oil along, and for this
reason its effect can neither be impor-
tant nor lasting. 1t Is pretty we'll known
to the country by this time that Hill has
no ardent affection for Cleveland, and
that he would not shed many tears at
Cleveland's defeat. Read between the
lines Hills speech clearly betrays the
aversion or dislike of it's author for the
candidate. Let this feeling be called
jealousy, spite, or merely pettishness or
ptque, the feeling exists, and 1t utterly
destroys all hope that the Senator will
render any hearty support to the ticket.
throughout the speech which show
that the man who made it felt
that the task was personally unpleas-
ant. but that his own standing with
the party rendered it imperative. 1t is
a sort Of sacrifice Of pride which he is
compelled to make in order to keep up
the semblance Of loyalty to party, and
is not designed to help the chances of
the candidate. Hills friends UNDER
stand his position tolerably we'll, even
II the Clevelandites mistake 1t. Tam
many is aware that the Senator's action
does not commit him to any vigorous or
continuous support OF the ticket. That
organization sees that a disagreeable
duty has now been done, and it does not
look for any repetition Of the perform
ance.
The truth is, therefore, the conditions
In New York are not changed to n
marked or important extent by Hills
flourish at Brooklyn. There are still
two distinct factions in the Democratic
party in the decisive State, and they are
as far apart in methods, interests and
aspirations as ever.

The New York Recorder publishes
a full transcript Of all that part of
Labor Commissioners Peck's report
which deals with the wage question,
The tables covering this subject are
elaborate and comprehensive, but
they are at the same time exceed.
ingly clear. They show that the
wages of four-tifths of the workers
alluded to in the report were higher
in 1891, after the Mckinley law got
fairly into operation, than they were
in 1890, before the act had a chance
to assert itself. The 30, 900 working
men of New York whose wages could
be a%scertained are referred to in this
report, and they received about &c.
600, 900 more in wages in 1891 than
they did in 1890. Affidavits of COM
missioner Peck and of every clerk in.
the Labor Bureau accompany the
figures. The document is of supreme
Importance at this time. AS a vindi-
cation of Republican policy it is COM
plete and decisive. AS a REPUTATION
of Democratic arguments and pre-
lenses it is absolutely overwhelming.
These figures will have a disastrous
effect upon the Democracy in all the
doubtful States, especially in New
York.

A Word to First Voters.

The casting Of the first vote is en- In
teresting event in the life Of every citi-
zen OF . republic. The exercise Of the
elective franchise should always be ac-
companied by thoughtful elaboration
and conscientious regard for the public
welfare, but there Is something peculiar
~ interesting in the casting Of q mans
first vote. The event signalizes en-
trance upon his majority and his formal
assumption OF the duties and RESPONSE
bilities Of manhood. No matter how
mature q young man may be in thought
and action, he does not feel himself
quite a man until he is twenty-one
years of age, nor quite a citizen until
he has voted. These stages of his ex-
istence passed, he feels that he has
fairly entered on u mans career, with
all the possibilities which that involves.
Again, the first vote has a large infiu-
ence in shaping a mans future political
status; not always a permanent influ-
ence, but u considerable and sometimes
a lasting one. A man is apt to con-
tinue in politics for q good many years
as he begins. His first vote decides his
political and to some extent his personal
associations, and ~insensibly shapes his
course in life. Men may and sometimes
do abjure their first love in politics,
and change from one party to enother,

In his attempted reputation of
his party platform Mr.. Cleveland as
serts that the Democracy will be care.
full to do nothing to bring disaster to
any industry by abrupt change in tar
iff laws. Let us see. Mr.. Cleveland
has favored free wool, and twice have
Democratic Houses passed bills put
ting wool on the free list. TIE duty
on wool makes the same grades OF
American wool III or ~ GEMS higher
than they are in Canada. The wool
clip in this country is about $50, OOO,.
900 pounds, and a reduction of III
cents a pound to the producers would
mean an aggregate loss Of $27, 500, 600.
There are at least forty million sheer
in the country, the value of which
has been steadily advancing sine
the passage of the Mckinley law. AZ
the lowest estimate they are worth
$3.50, 600, 600. The price of wool in
Canada is less than three-ffths the
price here. Drop the price here to
the Canadian figure by putting wool
on the free list, and the value of the
flocks in this country would be re-
duced more than two-f1fths, or to less
than 800, 900, 600. Thus, If Mr..
C%leveland's free-wool policy we're car
ried out, the 1ock-owners of the coun-
try would suffer an annual loss of at
least s27, 500, 900 and a depreciation
IN the value of their flock of $50, OOO,-
900. That is, the industry in which
several hundred thousand farmers
m engaged would be ruined by the
adoption of the Cleveland free-wool
policy.

reasons to induce such change after the
10 once fixed. Hence tl.o Importance Of
making a right start. AS long as a man
lives he looks back to his first vote with
peculiar interest. He never forgets in
what year 1t mas cast nor for whom. Ifit
was cast for q candidate and for princi-
pies which his mature judgment app
proves, the recalling Of the fact is q
source Of peculiar pleasure to him. On
tho other hand, II events have proved
that he made o mistake and cast his
fret vote for q party or q candidate un-
worthy Of support, the "reminiscences is
. source of lasting regret. 1t is not
important that a mans first vote should
be cast for tho party which is success
full, but 1t will be o source Of great sat
isfaotion to him in after life to feel that
1t was cast for tho party which was
right. Who among all those who cast
their first vote with the Republicans
in 1860 does not feel proud OF having
cast his maiden ballot for that great
and good Abraham Lincoln, and with
tho party that saved the Union and
abolished slavery?

Of young men who will cast their first
