IT is very important that every Dem
ocrat should be registered as required
under the new law. Without being
registered you cannot vote. The
Registrars will sit next Saturday and
the Saturday following from s to 12
O'Clock A. NJ, and from 1 to 6 P. NJ,
thus giving ample time for the con-
venient attendance of every voter in
the several districts. Democrats
should attend promptly to this matter
AZ without registration you cannot
vote. The time is at hand when the
test of the strength OF the two parties
is to be made. Under ordinary cir
cumstances we could easily carry the
State, but such corrupting influences
have recently been at work that it is
necessary that every Democrat should
constitute himself committee of one
to see that his neighbor and friend un-
derstands the situation thoroughly.

Ee neaO Carpets make their
DEEPEST saAaam to SEPTEMBER
and to yOu.
You are used to seeing
dainty designs and delicate
tints in the Administers and
Wiltons. Come prepared to
have any Carpet memory
eclipsed by these latest lovell-
nesseS.
Such patterns Such color
ings! Surely Oriental art has
cast its exquisite sunlight over
all these things.
The Carpet thought has
been to get an unmatchable
gathering of these fine goods.
We believe it is here today.
Many of the designs, most 01
them auaeed. cannot be shown
by any other house in town.
We have had the pick and
choice of the creamiest work
of the leading Carpet makers.
From the Bigelow Company
come Administers, WiltonS and
Brussels.
From the Lowell Company
come Wiltons, Brussels and
Ingrains.
The work of both is so celebrated
for quality and for beauty and origin
ality of designs that limitations would
abound if It were possible. 1t isn't.
The word ;'Bigelow" in the one case
and "Lowell" in the other is woven
at frequent intervals in the back of all
their higher grade Carpets.
From Alex. Smith & Sons
come Administers, 'Moquettes
and Tapestries.
Wherever the best could be
had to your advantage and to
ours there have we done the
choosing.
We could never before sh0zO
you Carpets so easily and
satisfactorily, Stat yo1tr ease.
Ample samples with borders,
if SO be, will be spread SO that
you can see a dozen patterns
at once with less strain than
when you saw two in the old
way.

Dots, SPOTS, SbeckS, 6lOkS, da6s.
All these touch many sorts of
Dress Goods this season.
Dots on Dress Goods, Sounds
simple enough, but try, as the
phrase goes, to get them
"down to dots" put them in
language-well, you'll give
it up.
But dots and spots literally
figure largely, or muchly, in
Dress Goods this Autumn.
They have power in style.
Little tinted specks, small as a
pin-head or smaller, how they
bring out design and color,
enrich style otherwise latent |!
They make designs emphatic,
like italics in types or inter
jections in talk.
Tridescent colors are much
in vogue, the best Of them are
spotted. The spots, often
merely dots, make the colors
simmer, heighten the effect.
A little mite of a dot on a Bed
ford Cord develops the whole
pattern. Silk dots on Wor-
steds. either self color or in
contrasts I; dabs of Angora
Goats hair (miscalled cameps-
hair), blots Of black Plush on
changeable cross-ribbed pat
terms, make the styles exquis-
itely complete.
Since the savage beauty of
the leopard S costume set the
fashion, spots have been popu-
lar in Dress Goods. Like !
the "spots' Of the exchanges
these spots are here; no futures
in spots at this spot.

In darriSOn'S letter of acceptance
he makes the following statement
with the intention of binding the eyes
of the farmer and workingman to the
fact that the Mckinley law has in
creased the prices of all protected
articles of home manufacture while it
has not stimulated expectations. "Our
exports of bread-stuffs increased over
those of 1890 more than S144.000 900.
No other nation can match the COM
mercial progress which these figures
disclose. Our compassion may well
60 out to those whose party necessities
and habits compel them to declare
that our people are oppressed and our
trade restricted by protective tariff. :"
The immense increase in exporta-
tions which Harrison wishes to induce
the people to believe was the result Of
the Mckinley law was caused by moth
ing else but the failure of the crops in
foreign countries. If they had had
normal crops we would not have had
market for single bushel of wheat
or corn above their necessities, as was
the case anyhow. With the tremend-
Gus amount of grain exported the
prices to-day are such that many
farmer will find himself in debt after
a season of hard labor and toll.
The Mckinley law is claimed to
"protect T" the farmer, but wheat at
70c. and corn at sic. do not show the
benefits of protection, while the enor-
nous profits charged the farmer here
on farming implements and all uten-
sils used by the farmer and his family,
above the price Of the same American
made articles abroad, under cover of
the Mckinley tariffs does show how
trusts, monopolies and favored million
ARE manufacturers are protected in
their wholesale robbery of The farmer.
In the next paragraph of the letter
we find that Harrison claims that the
Republican party is the party of new
ships, new markets and new factories.
These are all taIsehoods. The Repub-
lican Congresses have steadily refused |
to allow ships to fly the flag of the
most glorious Republic this world has
ever seen, and has demolished the
merchant marine, has opposed every
effort of the Democratic minority to
accord ships of which any nation
might be proud the privilege of flying
the stars and stripes. The same
papers that published Harrisofs letter
published the following, which we
clip from an exchange which had it
placed in the next column to his let

THE Dorer Sentinel in its last issue
presents an array of figures which it
says are the benefits that farmers
throughout the country are enjoying
on account Of the operation of the Nc
Kinley law-benefits that are granted
them by preventing this country from
being flooded with the farm products
of Canada and Bermuda-and wishes
its readers to accept those figures as
refutations of the assertion of the Dem
ocratic party that the farmers of this
country are not benefited in any sense
by the Mckinley tariff laws. We can
not permit this to pass without notice,
for the tariffs were nominally placed on
farm products to deceive the farmer
and to distract his attention from the
atrocities contained in other sections
of that infamous and hypocritical
enactment, and now they are being
used to contradict the exposition of the
hypocrisy of the farmers of the law and
the Republican party who are its sole
supporters.
Any man with the beginning of
reasoning power developed in his anat-
omy can readily understand that so
long that there is an over production
in any product in this country, so long
will the producers be compelled to ac-
cept the prices for the whole which he
obtains for the surplus above the
amount required to supply the home
markets, in a foreign country. Tn
other words he must export his surplus
crop to.foreign countries and compete
there with all the countries of the
world. If We we're importing farm
products then the farmer would reap
the benefit of the tariff laws but as we
are exporting them constantly the i'm
port duties placed on them cannot add
a single cent to their value. It makes
no difference to the farmer, so long as
he exports his surplus, whether we
have import duties upon them or not,
and such an article as the Sentin el is
trying to force upon the farmers of
this State and Peninsulr is an insult to
their intelligence and common sense.

Washington Letter

From OUR REGULAR CoRREsroNDENr
WASHINGTON. d. G., June 13th 1892
President Harrison's Triumph over
the very noisy and determined opposi
ton shows once more that it Is not the
fellow with the most brass bands who
always succeeds. Enthusiasm is always
a goood thing to have in politics, if it
be genuine, but even then 1t cannot win,
IN a convention or before the people,
unless it be backed by majority of the
votes to be cast. AS to the wisdom of
the republican convention, III re-nomi-
mating President Harrison, there is a
wide and honest difference of opinion
In Washington, which is confined to no
single political party.
There is no semblance of enthusiasm
here over the denomination of Presi-.
dent Harrison, nor is there any of the
bitter talk against him which has in
variab!y followed every republican
Presidential nomination since 1882.
The nomination is received as u matter
of course by the republicans, who pre-.
dict the election of the ticket; it greatly
pleases the democrats, at least that is
what they all say, and they profess con-
fidence in their ability to name tick
ct at Chicago that will defeat him. and
the peoples party men say they like it,
and that if the dem ocrats will now put
up Mr.. Cleveland they are certain that
they Can carry large number of
States On free coinage platform, as
against both Harrison and Cleveland,
who are both on record as against

Henry Harrison and after a lapse of
eight Years Van Bnrenswas AGAIN nom
mated by the Free Soilers and beaten
by Zachary Taylor and Grover Cleve-
land was re nominated and beaten by
Benjamin Harrison.
Thus it appears that Of the twenty
hree presidents there have been eleven
attempts at re election, of which seven
have been successful. '-as',.. 'aa1 7..
Martin Van Buren, after once being
defeated for re election, is the only one
of the Presidents who tried it third
time and the result was crushing de-
feat as the following figures show: in
1886 Van Buren, had ITO of 1874 elector
al votes; in 1910 Van Buren, received
1928, 7O2 votes and was defeated by
Harrison {; in lS4S he received but 29l..
455 and was again defeated, by Taylor.
His is the only case of persistent candi'
dacy before the people and the result Is
instructive.
The only other case Of persistent can
didacy is that of James G. Blaine, who
has been before four National RepubIi
can nominating conventions, viz: in
1876, 1880, 1884 and 1892. Having
received the nomination in 1884 and
having been defeated by CLEVELAND, his
asking fourth time for the nomination
met with the decided rebuff admins,
tered by the Minneapolis convention
last week.
The above analysis of the President
making Of the past points clearly to one
thing and that Is, it is not possible for
one man to occupy exclusively the at
t5ntlon of the American people Tor a
third of a generation, which is the case
when one man asks the people to give
him three or more chances at the Pres
idency.
