Bad for Gerrymanders.

Only few weeks since the Supreme
Court OF Wisconsin declared the legis-
lative apportionment act of the Demo-
cratic Legislature OF Wisconsin to be
unconstitutional, and the Democratic
Legislature has been in session 10 pass
another law creating Legislative dis
tricts. And now comes the decision of
the Supreme Court OF Michigan declar-
ing that the Democratic legislative APP
portionment law of that State is uncon-
stitutional, and decreeing that unless the
Legislature shall meet and make an
other apportlonment the Republican
act of 1881 will remain in force. The
Supreme Courts in both these States
are composed OF men belonging to
both political parties; nevertheless,
in both instances, the decisions are that
the Democratic apportionment laws are
in direct violation of the letter of the
State Constitutions, thus practically
convicting the Democrats of intelligence
in both bodies Of conspiracy to ignore
the organic law of the States. In

M'KINLEY NOW TALKS.
TELLING ANALYSIS OF DEMOC-
RACY'S TARIFF PLANK.
No Danger that Nebraska Will Vote for
Tree Trade-Clevelnnd Could Carry En-
giand-The Pension Record-Want to
Pay Rebel War Claims.
Mckinley I'm Nebraska.

The most telling and destructive
analysis yet made OF the Democratic
tariff plank In the Chicago platform was
that OF Governor Mckinley in his
speech at Beatrice, Neb. The audience
was worthy of the speaker and the sub
ject. Business was suspended, the
stores were closed, and from many
miles around the farmers flocked TO
hear the tariff discussed by the author
OF the present law. With irresistible
logic, based on undeniable facts, the
Governor showed how the Democratic
convention had deliberately rejected a
tariff plank that recognized the interests
OF the workingman as worthy of protec-
ton and domestic industries as worthy
OF encouragement, and substituted u
declaration that all protective duties
are unconstitutional. He recalled the
fact that the second act of the United
States Congress under the Constitution
was the passage OF n bill whose purpose
was the support of government. the
discharge of the debts of the United
States and the encouragement and pro-
lection OF manufactures "a bill re-
ported favorably by James Madison and
signed by George Washington. Well
might Governor Mckinley say:
If protective policy is in violation
of any constitution it is not that of the
United STATE S. 1t is manifest viola
ton OF the Constitution OF the Confed-
crate States. Possibly that is what they
mean. Happily for us, however, we
don't recognize that instrument, and

never did, and we are not operating un-
der it.
The action Of free trade newspapers
in calling Gov. Mckinley "theorist"
is ridiculous. Coming from organs
whose tariff articles are based entirely
upon theory, and n British theory at
that, and applied to a man who bases
his arguments so solidly and n,irely
on facts, the epithet is one of the most
effective boomeraDgS that could be i'm
agined. Here arr few of the facts
that Gov. Mckinley brought together in
his Beatrice speech: Wages in the
United States are z per cent. higher,
according TO the report of the Senate
special committee, then in England in
eight leading industries. Farm products
bring price considerably higher now
than in 1889. Manufactured products
are cheaper now than two years ago.
New industries started under the opera
ton Of the Mckinley act are now Civ
ing employment to more than 200, 900
persons. Last year we sold abroad
S203, coo, 900 worth OF products more
than we bought, and our exports were
the largest in the history of our coun-
try. The value of imported articles on
the free list has increased in one year
$91 900, 900. Under the tariff law of
1890 our export trade has increased 154
per cent, while the export trade of
Great Britain has decreased bper cent.
Which is the theorist-the man who
presents these facts as evidences of the
benefits of protective tariff or the one
who attempts to explain them away and
to argue that even il it be true that the
country has prospered under protection,
it must be true, because British econ
omists say so, that under free trade we
should have prospered still more?
But even this argument was answered
by Governor Mckinley with facts. He
showed that whenever this country has
zen Dyed the benefits" of "a Democratic
revenue tariff the balance of trade was
tremendously against US, and n period
of business depression and financial
panic invariably followed.
Taken as whole the speech is one of
the most splendid and effective argu-
ments for protection ever elaborat d.

vote for free trade in November.-New

Fortunately 1t was in the DAYTIME.

About eighty years ago in little
village in the town OF East Haddam
lived BOSS Lee" a silversmith, from
whom the place took its name OF
Leesville. Boss Lee was building a
new house, and as panes of glass
with "bull's-eye" were thought to
be ornamental, some of them were
put into the windows. An eccentric
old man, who thought himself quite
a philosopher, observed these and
warned the workmen of their danger
in acting possibly as burning glasses
and thus setting the building on fire.
He gave case in point where some
shavings left on south window-sill
OF new house took fire from this
cause while the workmen were away
at dinner and they returned just in
season to save the house. "Now,"
concluded the old man impressively,
"if that had happened in the night
the house would have been burned
up; nothing could have saved it,"

The Force Bill sham.

AS an evidence of the absurdity Of
negro domination we need only refer to
the census figures of 1890. According
to those returns there were then in the
Southern States IL, 493, 1923 whites and
6,94, 9i5 blacks. The whites possess
the intelligence, the wealth and the
power in these several States, yet we
are asked to save them-numbering 49,
O00, 000-from being dominated" by g.
000, 900 ignorant blacks. This single
fact is sufficient to show the utter ride
ulousness of the force bill sham-New

The Pension Record.

The Democrats have had much TO say
about the Pension Office during the
present administration, and have tried
to represent 1t as a very expensive
bureau. 1t is; but the business has
been conducted with less expense to the
government by General Raum than it
was by General Black, who was Pen
sion Commissioner under President
Cleveland. The average cost in sala-
ries of issuing each pension certificate
during the Cleveland administration
was more than double the cost under
the Harrison administration. The
amount expended per diem and travel
ing expenses of special examiners from
March 1, 1885, to June 30, 1883. was

for the same purpose for the same
