The Stuffed or Nobody,

We notice in Mugwump newspapers aw-
full threats that in case anybody is nomi
mated at Chicago who doesn't regard the
silver dollaras the sum OF all villainies. there
will be a split. and n separate party will be
formed on gold basis.
AS the Mugwumps have pretended to be-
lieve with their pursy chief that the break
ing down of the tariff was the one and only
issue to which the Democratic party should
cOnsecrate" its time and platform, 1t is n
little pcrplexing at first to understand why
aversion to silver should have become a
Mugwump tombstone.
A few months ago the tariff was the I'M
pardonablc sin in tho Mugwumpian csti-
nation. To smash the tariff was the one
object to which the knights OF Utopia pro-
posed to " consecrate" themselves in health
and in disease. in fortune and misfortune.
in victory or defeat. The anti-argentine
attitude OF the Stuffed Prophet is RESPONSE
bic for this change OF Mugwump mind. IL
wo may without absurdity attribute mind
to the Mugwumps. The Prophet himself.
however. has kept carefully silent since
he discovered that there were large
number OF Democrats who committed
the improDriety Of disagreeing with
MS uHtl-dTpeHllne cTOaklHRS. blG MS
devotces cannot endure that any opin-
ion once expressed by him should
not be accepted as irrefragable. Besides.
they are bound to bolt If he isn't nom
mated. and as the prospect OF his nominal
ton fades. even to their partial eyes. the
resolve to bolt is fortified in every Mug
wump breast This is ut the bottom of the
pretended alarm about silver.
No great Importance Is to be attached to
the plans Of the Mugwumps. and it will be
a good thing for the Democracy IL they
bolt. as they seem pretty sure to do. But
if there is anybody anywhere now who
doesn't understand that the Mugwumps are
saying to the Democracy. Nominate
CLEVELAND or we will leave" We invite the
attention Of that somebody to the Mug
wump proposals for bolting II the Prophet
should put forth even the assertion that
1-t2=4. every Mugwump would "conse-
crate his life. his fortune. and his cheek
to the defence OF that proposition.

the lures of the three years under
Hailison, 1889, 1890 and 1891, were
1856, for the three precee ling years
under Cleveland there were 30,161.
And this increase in failures has ia.
ken place under a system which prom
ised us better things, and under the
operations OF a bill which was to make
everybody rich by taxation.
"The Democrats refuse" says Mr..
Mckinley, "to American labor the
benefit which shall represent the diff
ference between the wages paid in the
United States and those paid abroad"
No; what the Democrats refuse to
do is to tax the American consumer
for the benefit of the American manu-
facturer, who complains because under
natural conditions he has TO pay
higher wages to higher wager to his
workingmen than the manufacturer
abroad pays.
The Democrats deny that this diff
ference in wages is due to the tariff
it is due to natural conditions and to
our political institutions.
We refuse to substitute the manu-
facturer in this way for three rea'
sons :
First, none OF it would go to the
workingman.
Second, because most of the subsidy
would come from the workingman.
Third, because, according to Secre-
tary Blaine and Secretary Evarts, the
difference in wages is more than COM
pensated for by the increase in pro-
duct.
Undoubtedly" wrote Secretary
Blaine in 1881, "the inequalities in
wages OF English and American op'
eratives are more than equalized by
the greater efficiency Of the latter and
their longer hours OF labor"
These are the facts, and on them
the Democrats are willing to have the
issue observation-disclosures
