Four Weeks More-TEe Outlook.

From the New York World, octobers.
-Four weeks from tonight the work of cleo
ting the next President, so far as it depends
upon education, argument and persuasion,
will have been done. On Tuesday following
the ballots will be cast and counted.
What is the outlook?
On all sides and in all phases it is cheering
to those who strive for constitutional primer
pies and Democratic policy.
East and West, North and South, all the
auguries are favorable for the success Of the
Democratic party.
The people are inquiring.
The demand for Democratic newspapers
and Democratic documents of all kinds has
been Unprecedented. The extraordinary
growth of the World circulation during the
campaign is typical and significant.
While the campaign has been an unusually
quiet and undemonsiratlve one, as BELTS
campaign Of education, there is no evidence
that the people are nninterested in the issues
or the result.
Since the nominations were made six States,
four in the South and West and two in the
North and East, have held elections. Al
though the offices to be filled were State and
local offices, the appeals to the people were
on national issues and the verdict was upon
these issues.
In every one III lltSt DNstltS, NlluOul u
single exception, the result of the election
indicates that the popular dissatisfaction with
the plutocratic aims, the corrupting courses
and the oppressive taxes of the Republican
party is not only as great as in 1890 and in
1891, but that it is even greater.
The Republican leaders pretend to account
for these un'ooked-for and to them portentous
results, when occurring in their strOngholds
Vermont and Maine, on two grounds-apathy
and the Australian ballot law.
The Australian ballot law is a simple ma
chinery to secure to the voter his liberty of
choice without bribery or intimidation. The
fact that the Republican party suffers most in
its operation is one that tells its own story.
And as to apathy, there is none apparent
in the voting except among those who for
merly have voted the Republican ticket.
Their refusal to vote this year is not at all the
ested as anybody. They distrust their party s
present policy and their abstention from the
polls is by deliberate intention. While they
do not care to sever their party relations by
actually voting the Democratic ticket, they
do not want the Republican party to win. II
| they did they surely would take the trouble
| to vote for its candidates.
Distinguished Republicans ofthe better sort
in increasing numbers are openly proclaiming
their disapproval of the party of the robber
tariff, the debased silver dollar, the putoc-
racy of privileged wealth and the oppression
of the minority in legislation. There is no
similar reverse transference of allegiance and
influence.
Therefore we say that all signs point to a
triumph of Democratic principles and the
Democratic candidates in the national cleo
ton. For these reasons and to this end lei
every Democrat work with the inspiration o.
high courage from now on until victory
crowns his faithful and patriotic endeavor.
The next President must be Democrat.

To the German. American Union:
Our German Club, numbering 400 mem

In Indianapolis the Republican party has
always counted on the German vote and the
baekset given by the German Club has been
considered as particularly ominous 1t is
said that the clubs action is due entirely to
the work of the Cleveland Union. This dis
tinctive German organization has in its league
about five hundred and sixty clubs.
In this campaign the union has won over
sixty German political organizations in
which, heretofore, many of the members
voted the straight Republican ticket. The

Luxuries and Necessaries.
From the New York World.

FROM inc New lOrk MOriu.
Senator Hiscock in his Cooper Union
speech did little more than suggest the false.
hood that the rich are paying the tariff tax.
He said that in his opinion sit is impossible
for craftsmanship to reduce our tariff laws so
that the income will be more evenly and justly
distributed to the consumers, always discrim.
mating in favor of those least able to bear the
burden
The Mckinley law does not bear out Mr..
Hiscock. 1t shows that the heaviest taxes
are on the necessaries of life and the lightest
on the Injuries. The necessaries pay so per
cent. of the taxes, the Injuries 20 per cent.
Cloth pays tax of $50 per cent; uncut
diamonds, 10 per cent. Blankets pay 80 per
cent; champagne about 30. Cheap hannels
pay los per cent; pearls, 10 per cent. A
wool hat pays IS per cent; a carriage, S5.
Sealskins pay 20 and pushes ll9 per cent.
Cabbages pay 60 per cent. and anchovies 80.
Beef pays 80 per cent. and game 10 per cent.
Woollen clothes, cloaks, jackets and ulsters
are taxed IS per cent. and patent leather only
10 per cent. School books are taxed % per
cent. and shotgun barrels are admitted free.
This is the way in which Mr.. Hiscock S
party has Disseminated in favor of those
least able to bear the burden.
