The Dcmocraticpress has allowed
itself to become somewhat perturbed
over report recently received at
the State Department from Consul
William ID. Warner, stationed at
Cologne They seem to think that
Consul Warner has concocted the
following passage in his report cspe-
cialIy to suit thecampaign purposes
of the Republican party. The CON
sular report says:
cat regular meeting Of the as
ISOLATION for guarding the general
interests Of the industries in Rhine
land and Westphalia, an important
speech was made by the general sec
rotary, in which he endcavored to
explain the causes Of the great de
preston i'm the trade of Germany
during the year 1891. The speaker
sad the year 1891 had been a very
bad one for business; that the de-
preston which had begun toward
the close Of 1890 had made further
progress, and particularly in the
textile industry. which had acquired
such dimensions that one could not
remember having experienced equal
ly bad times in this branch. He
said that the reasons for this were
of a very diverse nature-the effects
OF the Mckinley bill and reciprocity
treaties of the United States with
South American Republics"
1t will, perhaps, sooth the agi-
tated soul of the Democrats to
know that Consul Warner is a
South Carolina Democrat, who was
appointed Consul at Cologne by
President Grover Cleveland, on the
29th of May, 1885, and was retained
in Office by President Harrison, be-
cause he is faithful, capable officer.
His reports shows that he under
stands correctly the meaning of
what he reads, hears and sees in the
district of his consulate.

Insulting the Veterans,

Editor Fairweather. of the Dur
ham, North Carolina. Globe, was too
frank for the national Democratic
committee, so it has "squelched"
him, not, however, before he had
published the following with refer
encc to the pension business:
The whole business
Is
Theft
And pillage
Pure and
Simple.
We wish to God that there had
been enough Democrats in Congress
to have slapped the
Lousy Beggars
OF the North in their
Dirty faces.
This would have served them right,
They received pay for their red
handed and wicked work--they
should now subside.
This is in line with some Demo.
cratic speeches that are being de-
livered right here at home. A few
weeks ago THE REPUBLICAN quoted
from a speech made by James f,
Brown, in Montgomery county, II
which, among other things equally
insulting regarding the old soldiers
and the &. A. r., he said:
The Grand Army is dangerous
and corrupt political organization,
always ready to defend with bayo
nets the unconstitutional and dirty
work of the party that feeds them,
Both Fairweather and Brown
knew they We're giving expression
TO the sentiment held by a large
portion Of the Democratic party
that portion Of it which is depended
upon to give its solidVote to Grover
Cleveland, and which dictate,
Democratic legislation in Congress
But their remarks were too frank
for the Democrats Of the north
from whose ranks many of these in,
suited veterans were recruited

My DEAR SIR.-Believing in a
full, fair and free discussion of the
questions at issue between the
Democratic and Republican parties
We propose that you select any two
Democrats in this election district
to meet US at such times and such
places as may be mutually agreed
upon for joint discussion of the
questions at issue between the two
parties.
Hoping to hear from Won soon.

To the Editor ofthe Republican
The Democrats Cumberland let.
ter of last week signed More
Anon was fine, wasn't it? A man
who could fill up a column, fine
PRINT at that, and say less would
be pretty hard to find.
His first argument in answer to
the 1mertcaR Ec0n0misfS offer of
$1,000 to the Democratic editor
who would prove that paper has
not been cheapened since the pas
sage of tie Mckinley bill would be
better answered if he could get
some Democratic editor to claim
the money.
That standing offer made bv the
Economist is a complete answer to
the Democratic lies Of two wears
ago IN regard to Mckinley prices
and they know it.
Then We are made acquainted
with the stupenduous fact that
"in 1867 the highest tariff ever
enacted particularly on wooD was
put upon the statute books. Wool
was then as much as 6S cents per
pound and it has steadily declined
to date" Then is it not plain to
be seen that we do not want free
wool, as your Rip Van Wrinkle
statesman says, but higher duty
still? This is what your own figures
demonstrated to be fact.
The Democrat has been repeated
ly asked, and | now ask More
Anon" to tell us how much more
the farmer would set for his wool
If We had free trade than he gets
under protection, and how can the
manufacturers get cheap wool and
the wool growers get better price
than he now gets. Your party is
such an adept straddling ISSUES
that YOU may be used to that kind
Of argument, but, my friend from
Allegany county, you cannot blind
the intelligent people Of Garrett by
Your cheap clothing, free WOOL
prattle. We have discussed that
question earlier IN the campaign.
Why was it that under Grover
Cleyeland's administration the
sheep of the United States were re-
duced in number more than /, per
cent, while under the Mckinley
act sheep have increased in number
more than : per cent? Why is it
that secured wool is selling for half
as much in Europe as it is Bringing
IN the [. S? Would your free
wool fallacy help the farmer to get
a better price for his product, and
if so, how? The Mckinley act in
creased the duty on shoddy from
10 cents to 80 cents. A. ID. North,

Geo. L. Wellington,

THERE is not a Democratic editor
in the land from Cape Cod to San
Francisco. from Lake ltaska to

ing the vHy paper oa which he
prints his Mckinley prices false
hoods for less money than he paid
before the Mckinley bin was pas
sed. We know Of our own person
al knowledge that is true Of the
New York dailies-ouc Of them is
saving 500. GOO a year in the fan Of
the price Of its paper below the
price actually paid for it before the
new Tariff was enacted.
The American Protective Tariff
league will pay $1,000 to that Dem
ocratic editor who will show that
paper of the quality and kind used
by him to publish his Mckinley
prices falsehoods cannot be pur-
chased in the open market from )
to 40 per cent. cheaper than it cost

census agent, shows that the i'm
portation of shoddy, rags, etc., IN
1855 was SAYS, 9S4 pounds. Z. S.
Treasury statistics show that under
the first fiscal year of the Mckinley
law ending June so, 1892, there
we're only S7,925 pounds, de-
crease Of 80 per cent. The Spring
er bill reduced the duty on shoddy
from 80 cents to cents per pound,
We remember the fact that one
pound of shoddy displaces three
pounds of unwashed wool, and we
see at a glance how much better
the Mckinley bill was for the farm
er than the Springer bill, vet we
hear the old Democratic calamity
howl about shoddy, cheap clothing,
etc.
Just wait little and YOU will
want some of your Job-liKe patience
when You hear the verdict of the
American people in November.
"Years ago" you say, zone
could look anywhere and find con-
fdence in business and manutac-
turing circles and peace and pros
perity throughout the land.
What years: Was it under De-
mocracy's blighting rule, and if so.
when? Surly not under Buchanan.
the last Democratic President be-
fore the Republicans came into
power. Let rs see where your free
trade policy had landed the coun-
try under the destructive rule Of
Democracv-let Buchanan himself
be your answer bv his message of
Dec. s. 1857: "Our country, in its
monetary interests, is, at the present
moment in a deplorable condition.
We find our manu-
features suspended, our pubic
works retarded, our private enter
prises Of different kinds abandoned
and thousands of useful laborers
thrown out Of employment and re-
duced to want This was the
end Of your Democratic period.
How different to-day under Repub.
licanism.
If you want to post IN little
read the labor reports of those two
Democrats, Peck, of New York,

item in regard to "that man Vel
lington," but how about Harrity,
the chairman Of the Democratic
National Committee? Take your
own advice: "beware of that man. +"
Wellington will get there, so don't
worry, and while you are trying to
enlighten our people suppose you
get the Democrat to publish the
text of House Bill No. 5,541, LIST
session, 49th Congress, to prevent
the employment of convict and
alien labor upon public buildings
and which passed both houses with
out opposition but failed to become
a law because Of Cleveland's "pock-

it is painfully studied effort, and
is less able than many other of his
public documents.
Politically. it is the letter of "a
party candidate who seems to feel
that he is taking desperate chances
upon an unpopular platform, and
by an ingenious use of words seeks
to cover up its ugliness. He ac-
cepts its free trade meaning because
he cannot help himself, but at
tempts to soften that meaning by
declaring that there is no intention
to precjpitate free trade; he tries to
hedge on his pension record without
offending his southern supporters,
straddles the silver question, and
touches civil service reform so light
ly as to not offend Tammany; he
ignores completely the state bank

stand on the immigration problem

EARNEST attention is called in
this issue to the duty of the Repub-
leans to register. Hundreds Of
them, unfortunately, neglected it.
ia 1888, by full registration and
q prompt vote of the party, the re-
suit exceeded the best expectations.
This is another presidential year,
rs well as congressional year. Much
viii depend upon the showing in
November. Our sincere advice to
Republicans is to register, and do so
at the first opportunity. and to fol-
low tap by early votes in Noycm-
Der.

Goldsborough & Co., of Millbruy,
Australia, issued circular when
the Mills bill was under considera-
ton in which they said: The
sheep growers are watching with
great interest the effort in the
American Congress to introduce
free wool. The bill is OF vital I'M
portance to the wool growers of
Australia -
The next party | struck was an
importer and evidently an English
man. He said: 1.-The duty ma kes
wool higher but said nothing
further of special interest.
Another party, evidently Dem
ocrat, said that according to his
opinion the duty made wool lower.
He could not assign any reasons
for his belief and seemed disinclned
to explain how 1t worked, but gave
me an introduction to a young man
from the west who was a better
talker. This young man sald of
course the duty on wool had re-
duced the price Of the article and
then went on to say that he was 90

the duty was removed the manu-
facturers could buy the raw wool SC
much cheaper and then they could
compete with their product IN the
markets Of the world; that the man.

wages, whether the American man
ufacturer would not require cheap

CINCINNATI, Dec. 17.-What will be.
come Of Rev. Henry Preserved Smith,
who has just been suspended from the
ministry by the Cincinnati presbytery,
is a question often asked. Professor
Smith himself does not yet know, but
his position is this: In the first place he
will appeal to the synod of o hio, and. if
necessary, to the general assembly.
The first of these bodies meets here in
October, 1888, and if it should dispose of
his case Immediately, and an appeal to
the general assembly become necessary,
he could not get before that body before
May, 1894.
Meanwhile he claims the right to be a
Presbyterian in good standing, and the
board of trustees Of Lane seminary have
indicated that they will retain him at
that place. He stated in his argument
during the trial that he loves the Pres
byterian church, and that he is not in
favor of further division. Since the
trial he has said he would continue to
be Presbyterian until his church ruled
him out, and then he would entertain
propositions from other churches. From
the facts above given it will appear that
he is not ready yet to go into another
church, and cannot be until 1894

Convention and Its Indirect Results.
BRUSSELS, Dec. 10.-The international
monetary conference has adjourned to
May 80, 1893. Senator Allison made a
short speech in behalf of the United
States delegation. He laid emphasis
upon the fact that throughout the de-
bate nobody had suggested that either Of
the money metals be discarded. During
the adjournment, he said, the delegates
would have time to study the Roths-
child and other proposals that had been
submitted.
although the conference has been of
brief duration, he continued, "the dis
cussions that have taken place have been
of great value and we think it wise to
resume the deliberations after recess.
Any agreement at which the conference
might arrive would probably require
large concessions on our part. 1t is,
therefore, natural that the Democratic
administration which is about to come
into Office in the United States and upon
which the responsibility for such action
would fall should have an opportunity
to direct the course of the United States
delegates. 1t would consequently be
W JIlt OulIcu OIuUGS Ine
conference should adjourn long enough
to enable the new government to CON
slider what shall be done"
Mr.. Bertram Currie, of the British
delegation, objected to the reassembling
Of the conference on the ground that as
three previous money conferences had
failed, there was little prospect of the
present one being a success.
Sir Rivers Wilson, of the British dele
cation, concurred in the opinion of Mr..
Currie.
General Richard Strachey, of the In
dian delegation, formally announced
that during the recess of the conference
the Indian government would reserve to
itself absolute freedom of action.
Senator Allison said that it was under
stood that the governments of all the
nations concerned, including the United
States, should reserve to themselves alb
solute Independence in their respective
monetary policys during the recess of
the conference, that nobody was bound
to anything, and that they all might
employ the time in the interval as they
thought proper,

adopted and the conference adjourned.
