pecially so In the July number. Although
the month covered by this issue expired

intelligent character sketch of Benjamin
Harrison that has ever been written. In
the text of the article appears portrait
OF President Harrison at his desk, taken
on the 18th OF June-four days after the
Minneapolis Convention adjourned.
In addition to this sketch OF the nomi

With or Without New York

The shrewdest Republican leader
of New York vowed and reavowed
with emphasis at Minneapolis that
Harrison could not carry the EN-
pire State, and recent events give
their strong claim the sanction of
verify. With Fassett as their lead
er and all the bosses fighting at his
side, they went down under land
slide. Tammany declared at Chi
cago that Cleveland could not carry
N. Y, but the weight of evidence
is against him. One or the other
of these opposing sets of prophets
must be mistaken, and in the light
of the story told by 1890, it is not
Plat, Miller and Fassett. They
read the stars Alright, as the event
will show.
But waving the discussion of a
problem which seems to carry its
own solution, great deal of profit
able figuring can be done with New
York as an eliminated factor. The
most effective answer to the protest
against Cleveland's nomination is
in the fact that New York will not
be absolutely necessary to his cleo
ton. Within four years, because
of general uprising against the in

The United States Patent Office
will exhibit at the Worlds Fair as
complete collection as possible of
the models of all the important
American patented inventions, with
view of showing the great adj
vance in the several arts, which is
due in no small degree to the en-
couragements and protection afford
ed by the patent system. Many OF
the desired models are not now in
the possession of the Patent Office
owing to loss by fire and the fact
that in recent years models have not
generally been required. The avail.
able appropriation is not sufficient
to enable the Office to make the mis-.
sing models, and therefore the Com
missioner of Patents has issued an
invitation to inventors and manu-,
facturers to loan such models to the
office, with the understanding thai
they will be returned and that due
credit will be given in labels ant
catalogues. This invitation is be.
ing met with hearty response.

Women's Democratic Campaign Club.
From recent New York dis

The following letter was sent to
Mrs. Cleveland:
Mrs. GROVER CLEVELAND:
DEAR MADAME gives us much
pleasure as representatives of that
great body of women of Democratic
sympathies to inform you that a
Francis Cleveland Influence Club
hasyjust been formed by the moth
ers, wives, sisters and daughters of
New York Democrats. We have
taken the liberty of using your
name for the first of the many. in
huence clubs which we trust will
spring up throughout the country,
and which after November 8 will
confirm the judgment of that Rep
ublican leader regarding 1890, that
"the women did il" We feel that
this campaign is to lift the burden
of taxation from the homes of the
laborers, and we, as home defend
ers, desire part in the struggle.

The mineral exhibit at the
Words Fair promises to be incom-
parably finer than any ever before
made, either in this country or
abroad. California and Colorado
each is striving to surpass all other
states, and claims that it will sure
ly do so. Michigan, Montana and
Missouri, too, are making special
ty of the exhibition of their re-
markably rich and varied mineral
resources, and are not without hope
of winning the highest award. AL
most every state possesses mineral
resources of especial merit in one
or more particulars, and will dis
play it's best. From all together a
wonderfully complete and valuable
exhibit is certainty. Then, too,
many foreign nations, notably Eng
land, will make mineral exhibits of
the most complete description, Can
ada will occupy 10000 square feet
for its display. Half of it is desir-
ed by Ontario province, which in
tends to make an extensive exhibit,
including lead, copper, iron, gold
graphite, mica, asbestos, phosphate
of lime, gypsum, mari, petroleum
salt, terra Gotta clay, nickel, silver
and many varities of marble, gran
tie and other building material.

Midas and the Masses.

That the great Democratic con-
vention at Chicago would do ample
and unequivocal justice to the tax
belabored masses of the country
in it's tariff reform plank was assur-
ed in advance.
Here is the situation we have
reached after thirty years Of grind
ing class taxation. From a time
within the memory of many men
now living, when a millionaire was
something of an anomaly, we have
reached the days when an American
Millionaire is already in sight.
There are now in the United
States over 200 persons worth $50
100000 each. There are 400 per-
sons who possess $1O,000,OO0 each,
900 persons who are rated at S.
100000 each. 1000 persons having
50, 100000 each, 5000 millionaires
and $1,000 persons worth over half
a million.
Summing up the whole situation,
late officials statistics establish the
fact that total of 81 900 persons
possess $36, 25O,OOO,OOO. The assess
ed valuation of the whole country
on the national ledger standing to
our credit is $82,61O,0OO,OOO so
that 81 900 people out Of 65, 100000
already own much more than one
half Of the nation.
These are facts that are begin
ming to stagger many good and pa
triotic men of all parties. That the
bulk Of these fortunes have been
acquired since the reign of high
protection nobody denies. 1t is not
to be wondered at that the great
pulpits OF the country are sounding
the protest, and that it is running
theme in the current magazines and
great dailies.
1t is for the party of the plain
people and the toiling masses to
put the leading cause of this un.
fortunate drift of things were il

What Mckinley Said on Taking the
Chair.

1--WE propose to raise our money
for public expenses" he said, "by
taxing the products of other nations
rather than by taxing the products
of our own" Why, then, was the
duty on raw sugar repealed? That
is the product of other nations. We
received fifty millions of revenue
from those sugar-producing coun-
tries, according to the Mckinley
idea, by taxing their products. The
Treasury is sadly in want of that
revenue at this time. There will
be abundant opportunity between
now and November for Mckinley
and others to explain why they thus
exempted foreigners from tax of
fifty millions which the said foreign
ers had been paying for many years
without the slightest complaint

political center of gravity has shift
ed and is found in the great north
west. Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Mich
igan and Wisconsin have seventy
eight electoral votes, or more than
double the number of New York.
They are all Democratic on the
basis of the elections of 1890. Omit
Michigan from the calculation, as
her electors, save one in the eastern
and one in the western districts, will
be chosen by congressional districts,
and there remain sixty-four electors
to be contested for by the other
states now under consideration.
Out of Illinois delegation in Con-
gress the Democrats have fourteen
and Republicans but six. The
Democrats have majority in
the State Legislature, Unit
ed States Senator and in 1890 car
ried the state by majority of near
ly 10000 votes.
Indiana has eleven Democratic
members out of thirteen, two Dem.
ocratic United States Senators, 9
Legislature Democratic in both
branches and in 1890 the Democra
tic state ticket had a majority Of
nearly 10000.
The Democrats of Iowa have 81,
of the eleven members of Congress
and have elected Gov. Boies for two
successive terms.
The Democrats of Wisconsin
have the Governor, both branche
of the Legislature, eight of the MIN
members of Congress and Unitec
States Senator in the person of Hon
William f. Villas.
There is no reason to assume tina
the mighty revolution against tn
tariff laws has spent it's force in
single effort, or that the people o
these great states are now ready t,
submit to the spoilers. Happil,
for the people the struggle at ham
must and will be fought upon tn
one great issue in which they ar
most deeply interested. Sectional
ism can present no detracting sid
