In giving unconditional endorse
ment to the reciprosity scheme Of
the new tariff law, Mr.. Harrison
deliberately slaps Mr.. Mckinley
in the FACE, as he goes out of his
way to coddle Mr. Blaine. Again
he resorts to the methods of the
demsgogue and petifoger and
waves the British flag in the face
of the farmer He goes on the
theory that anything which Injuries
England must, perforce, be a di-
rect benefit to America theory
contrary to all human experience
and wholly unworthy of anyone
laying claim to possess any degree
of craftsmanship. Again, in dis
cussing reciprocity, Mr.. Harrison
resorts to misstatements, or, at
least half truths. For instance, he
gives all the credit for the increas-
ed consumption of American -four
by Cuba to reciprocity, ignoring
the fact that European crops have
failed while American crops have
been bountiful Then, like the
cheap stump orator, again Mr..
Harrison Snauires il the farmer
will consent to lose the markets
which reciprocity has given him!
This in the face of the fact that
all the markets opened have been
to manufactured articles sold
cheaper then they are to Ameri-
can farmers, and that the markets
we have made free to the farmers
are mostly for farm products,
which enter into direct competi-
ton with the products of Ameri-
can farms in the much exalted
"home market" - Indianapolis
Sentinel.
He makes the Force Bill and
high tariff the supreme issue Of
his party, and democrats every
where will agree with him that
these are the great purposes of the
party which is seeking to destroy
the freedom of the free. If demo-
Gratis ever doubted that Cleve-
lands defeat would bring back
the state of affairs when federal
bayonets sustained thieves and
knaves in their ruinous rule OF
the south, they can no longer
doubt. Mr.. Harrison's word is
added to the infamous pledge of
his party. With him and his par
ty it is fight to the death. They
would forever deprive the south of
honest voice in the councils, of the
Nation. With the State election
Alabama Mr.. Hrrrison has got
nothing to do. He simply uses
the wild talk of defeated place
seekers to turn a cheap political
trick. Alabama means to control
her own affairs. - Birmingham
Age-Herald.
The most interesting part of the
| letter Of acceptance must be read
between the lines. Following the
general plan Of managing his
own campaign, the president
has undertaken to give his
own Interpretation to the republi-
can platform, emphasizing those
portions which, in this judgment,
are most likely to appeal to the
selfish interests of the voters, and
toning down and explaining away
those portions which recent events
have shown to be unpopular and
dangerous to republican success.
Iu pursuance Of this general plan
he has lbuded the protective tariff
and reciprocity to the skies, and
contented himself with demanding
harmless and inoffensive Nation
al Commission TO consider the
/
general subject of the election of
federal officers as a substitute for
the Force Bill legislation, with
some general observations on the
advantage Of honest elections to
all sections of the country. In
other words, he roars very gently
on the subject Of elections in the
southern states. - Philadelphia
Times.
The question naturally arises in
a disinterested mind: '1f such are
the happy results of reducing du-
ties, why do Mr.. Harrison and his
, party 80 persistently advocate
; their increaseY Until that ques-
ton is satisfactorily answered, it
is but natural to believe that the
American laborer win cast his loi
with the party which stands foI
reduction the more 80 since Pres.
