effects Of the cold. Restoratives were
spilled aud after working with her for
several hours Scceeded ia bringing her

A Thanksgiving Proclamation.

Temple of Truth, Nov. 15.-1S92
The republicans Of Missouri have
cause to be thankful for the result
of the recent election in this state.
A democratic majority which might
have been $4,000 will not much ex-
ceed 10000, unless the democrats
fix up some OF the back counties yet
to be heard from. Let us be thank
full for an unbroken neck rather than
resentful over broken arm.
The Colonels have got the post
offices, for which for years they have
been painting, even as the hart pant
eth for the water brook. One of the
sublime IDEAS of the republican par
ty is that it is we'll to relinquish
what you can no longer hold, and
wrong to take that which you cannot
get. Let US give thanks tuat we are
able to rise above the degradation of
patronage, and that we would scorn
to seek Office under an administra-
tion that would see us in sheol be-
fore it would give it to US.
If the turkey is denied to US, we
have more than an acceptable substi-
tute in the crow, the merits of which
as an article of diet have been dem
onstrated to us within week, and
which we have just begun to appre.
ciate. No man to whom it has been
given to penetrate the delicious mys-
teries of crow will ever willingly re.
turn to the vulgarity of turkey

4 Protection Game.

New York World
The Iron Trade Review is putting
the manufacturers up to a dodge in
order to make the people sorry that
they voted for Mr.. Cleveland Its
advice is that the manufacturers re-
duce the wages of their workingmen
to "fortify themselves i'll advance i'll
view of the increasing probabilities
of destructive foreign competition"
Is this an indication of the kindly
feeling entertained by the protec-
tionists for their working,nen? They
have professed that their tax policy
was maintained for the purpose of
increasing wages. They have been
charged with misrepresentation, and
they are now advised by one of their
organs to prove that the charge is
true by making the wage earners
suffer in order that revenue reform
may become unpopular.
Nothing could better show the dis
honesty of the protection claim that
the tariff exists for the workingman.
If that claim were true the mauufac
turers would resist every tendency
towards downward wages, instead OF
pushing them down in order to gain
an advantage for themselves in a po-
litical controversy.
The wages of labor are regulated
by the supply and demand of the
labor market, and the people who
would cut down wages, not because
they must, but because they wan,
to revenge themselves for demo
cratic victory by making the work.
ingmen suffer, are the people who
have been insisting that the McKin
ley law repealed the law of suppl,
and demand, and that they are the
true and unseltish benefactors of tn,
workingmen. Happily,
