CONTEMPORARY COMMENT.

1t is said that Candidate Reid is
to make an appeaI to Blaine to take
the stump. Surely the plumed knight
will not refuse the request of this bat
tle-scared veteran.-Was hington Post
The situation of New York IS
now so clearly defined that an offer Of
two to one on Cleveland would fail to
bring out republican money except
from the campaign fund.-St. Louis
Republic
A vote for Cleveland is, a. vote to
eliminate the Raums, Wanamakers,.
Egans., Rorters, Elkinses, Martins,
Bardsleys and Delamaters from posi-
tions of public trust and infiuence.-N..
Y. World
The protects have foreclosed their
chatteI mortgage upon the republican
party. but they cannot deliver such OPP
ponents Of high tariff taxation as Judge
Gresham, and Wayne MacNeagh
cago Times.
History and reason combine 20
show THAI concentration of wealth is' a
menace to the prosperity of any people:
The republican party's tariff policy is
rapidly concentrating the wealth of
this country in the hands of a favored.
class.-St Paul Globe.
Harrison and Reid. believe. that
the repu5 iican administration should
control the registration, the election,
the counting of votes and the eertifica-
ton, of results in every congressional
district OF the country. Such doc
trine given the sanction of Legislative
enactment, would come pretty near be-
ing a. force bi1l.-Detroit Free Press.
When Mckinley corporations,
with or without contracts under the
Harrison, administration, wage private
war, and score the heaviest losses, let
the courts decide the matter on the
issue. OF homicide involving both
parties. But it will never be treason
for-an American to take DOWN his rifle
when Andrew Carnegie cables from
Scotland that it is time for shooting tc
begin in America.-N. Y. Times.
Republicans charge that because
democrats deny the right of the gov
eminent to levy taxes for restrictive
purposes therefore they are in favor of
the blishment of evils, against
which unconstitutional laws have been
enacted. Under the same argument it
could be asserted that those who
disbelieve in taxing houses o& infamy
were in favor of their existence. 1t IS
poor logic. Bua in that respect 1t IS
consistent with repullieanism.-C
go, Times.
Free trade and debased money
go hand in hand" says. Gov. Mckinley
This is a catch phrase which the re-
publican press has been quick to take
up and from Maine to California we
read it in protection organs If the
statement is true. we must look to free
trade countries for confirmation. Eng
land is frequently quoted as the lead
ing free trade nation Of the world.
English money is generally considered
particularly sound That country has
an exclusively gold basis, and Bank OF
England notes are good in any market
in the woFld.-Kansas City Times
The fat-fryers are reaping a
golden harvest from the wealthy repub
icans of Pennsylvania, and the most
of the two million dollars, which it Is
expected to raise, will be used as cor
ruption fund in New York. Tho
people of Pennsylvania should como
down handsomely. for in no other
state of the union have plutocrats and
monopolies been more munificently
benefited because of the Mckinley
iniquity. They come down with from
ten thousand dollars to ono hundred
and fifty thousand dollars apiece, and.
of course, it is all done for 'sthe poor
wIokingman. Detroit Free Press
