4 Free Trade Party.

And still they say that the Democracy
does not stand for free trade. Such asser-
tions are wilfully made with intent to de-
ceive, for surely no one who reads and
thinks for himself at all can be ignorant
of the facts at this late day. David A.
Wells is the one man that Democrats swear
by through thick and thin, and if any
member of the Salt river party candidly
believes that he is not riding up to his
doom in free trade boat, let him consult
this honored gentleman and be undeceived.
In "a Primer of Tariff Reform" issued
by the New York Revenue Reform league,
Mr.. Wells defines free trade as follows:
"Free trade is the right of every man to
freely exchange the products of his labor
and services in such way as seem to him
most advantageous, subject only to Such
restrictions as the state may .fnd neceSSa-
ry 10 make Tor the purposes Of recenUe.'
TO compare this with the tariff plank
of the Democratic party, which asserts
that protection is fraud and that it is a
fundamental principle of the party that
the only constitutional tariff is one for rev
enue only, is to see conclusively that De-
mocracy has declared unreservedly for free
trade

and vigorous men, the best fruits of Amer
/ lean civilization. who are now leading the
way to greater achievements, | 10 not be-
lieve that their progress in the future will
be retarded by those who stand at the
waySidc and make faces at the moving col
umn. The purpose Of the act of 1890. as
repeatedly stated by its advocates on this
iioor, was to provide for the better security
and greater development of American in
dustres and to maintain the high level of
wages then existing in the United States.
The claims and expectations Of the franz
ers of the measure have been more than
realized.
"By its revival of activities in every di-
rection, it has given profitable employment
and certainty of earnings to all classes of
the people 1t has directed American en-
terprise into new channels, and given wide
scope to the genius of American inventors.
1t has afforded the opportunity for produc-
tion in the United States of all the finer
and more difficult manufactures in every
branch, productions which will demand
from our artisans and skilled workmen
greater artistic taste and higher mental
development The beneficial effect which
the entrance upon these new and broader
industrial fields will have in quickenng
Inc national Ire ana broadening the ma
tional experience cannot be measured by
the sum which the establishment of these
industries will add to the national income.
"The declared purpose of the Democratic
party to repeal this act Immediately upon
their return to power is certain to provoke
lively opposition TO their political resto-
ration. We can await the result of this
contest with calm confidence. The plain
people of the United States have too much
good sense and discernment to mistake
pretentous platitudes for philosophy
They are not likely to exchange the Ger
tainty of satisfactory earnings and savings
of constant employment and comfortable
homes for Democratic promises of a mil
lennium that is to follow revolution.
These promises are but the shadows of the
unknown. for which an intelligent people
will not surrender the substance of a pres
ent and abundant prosperity"

Another evidence of the thrift, economy
and public spirit of the black man, and an
argument, too, if one were needed, of the
blessings of freedom, is found in the action
of the cOlored people of the United States
in commemOrating the bravery of their
race by erecting monument to the mem
Ory of the negroes who died while wearing
the uniform of the United States. Such
mute testimony to their bravery and loyalty
is to be erected at Springfield, ILL.,, at an es-
timated cost of S125,0O0. Already the sum
of $50, 600 has been collected for that OBJ
ject. The monument is to be a tall pyra-
mid of granite, four-sided, rising from a
platform approached by four broad stairs.
Between the stairs, on semi-circular low
pedestals, are single figures in bronze. The
top of the shaft is to have a lantern or bel
vdere, TO be used as a lookout, and the
lantern will be surmounted by gigantic
statue.

The Reduced Cost orLiving.
From the New York Tribune. ]


1t is obvious that the advance in farm
products, [shown by the official statistics,
and quoted in Senator Aldrichs speech, !
while it has brought a great gain to the
farmer, has not involved a corresponding
loss to the consumers of articles manufac-
tured from those products. Thus the farm
er received for wheat at New York so to
S0f cents in June, 1889, and patent -four
was selling here at 1918 per barrel. Last
September the price of wheat had risen to
$107t, but the same -four sold at SO bar
rel, a rise of only 25 cents barrel, against
27 cents a bushel for wheat. Now the
wheat sells at S55 cents, or cents higher
than in 1889, while the same -four sells at
81. 70, dollar lower than in June, 1889
The prices of manufactured products gen
orally are about the lowest ever known
and these measure the expenditures of the
farmers, as well as great part of the eX
penditures of other producers. The re-
tail prices of articles made from farm pro
ducts have not advanced at any time il
proportion to the advance of prices of sucl
products, and meanwhile the cost of othe
manufactured articles has been material,
diminished to the consumers.

Practical Points under the New Ballot
Law for Frecmen's Meeting.

Voting for representatives in Congress
was not noticed in the article upon the bal
! lot law last week and an inference that
| the right to vote for some other officers to
be elected at freeman's meeting depends
wholly upon the ballot law may have been
left
BY the constitution of the United States
voters for representative in the general as
semby are voters for representative in
Congress: and by the laws of the United
States, which are paramount, votes for
representative in Congress "must be by
written or printed ballot, and these cleo
tions, in Vermont, are on the same day.
The mode of clecting all state and county
officers on that day is fixed, although not
i'm the same words as to all, by the consti-
tuition of the state. Consequently provis-
ion is made by constitutions and laws
higher than the ballot law. or any act
of the legislature, for eecting all the of
fiCers to he voted for at that election.
Hence if from failure to make nomina-
tions: or to file certificates of them if
made; or to print ballots; or to distribute
them to the right places or to preserve
them; or from any other cause, no official
ballots under the ballot law, or not enough.
are to be had, the freemen of every city
and town have the clear right left to them
to vote by ordinary ballot, in the same
manner as before, for all or any of these
officers for whom no official ballots. or not
enough, are to be had and perhaps so,
as suggested before, if they are to be had.
The requirements of the ballot law as to
providing clear space for voters about
the ballot box by a guard-rail, and eXcud-
ing others from it the provisions for iden-
tifying freemen; and the prohibition of
soliciting votes in the room; and all other
mere regulations are doubtless in force,
and to be observed.
But the qualifications of freemen are
prescribed by the constitution, and to them
none can be added by the legislature; and
the right of each freeman to vote by bal
lot without anything more, for these Of
ficers cannot be impaired by the Legislature.
The choice of presidential electors, and
the election of city, town. village and dis
trict officers, are more nearly within the
control of the legislature, but nothing is to
be done about them at this meeting. No
suggestion that any county or town clerk
or other officer should omit to do anything
prescribed by this law on account of any
supposed nvalidity is intended. OF course
they would not be willing to take the re-
sponsibility of deprivng any freeman of
the privilege of voting according to its pro-
visions if he should SO desire. But no
omissions, mistakes or accidents about
carrying it out can deprive any freeman of
the right or relieve him from the duty of
voting at this meeting, either according to
this law, or as before.

Another :. legislative gerrymander has
been defeated and annuled in the courts.
The supreme court of Michigan, the high
est court of that state, has set aside the re-
cratic legislature and has ordered the sec
retary of state to issue notice of elections
in accordance with the acts of 1881, unless
the governor shall call special session to
enact new law. The opinion follows the
lines of the celebrated decision in the Wis
consin gerrymander, and the court is wnan-
imous. The effect of the decision will be,
in any event, to make it practically certain
that the Republicans will elect the next
United States senator.

The situation at Homestead.

The news from Homestead this week in
dicates beyond reasonable doubt the com
plete failure of the cause of the strikers,
and of their attempt to prevent the Carne-
gle mills from being operated with non
union help. A committee of the strikers,
who were allowed to 60 through the works
on Tuesday, reported to a meeting after
ward held that there was no use denying
the fact that about 1000 workmen had
been secured, and that work was going on,
though, as the committee claimed, in Il
very imperfect and unsatisfactory way. \
report has been given out that the plan of
the strikers now is to remain quiet until
the troops are withdrawn and then assault
the works, driving out the men and blow
ing up the mills. A foolish and reckless
threat of the kind must be taken as good
evidence that those making it have given
up all hope of their cause.
On Wednesday retaliatory complaints
and arrests for murder were made against
Manager Frick and other officers of the
company, Robert and William Pinkerton,
and several of the Pinkerton detectives.
Eleven men in all were arrested, the COM
plants being made by Hugh Ross, one of
the strike leaders whom the company had
arrested for murder. All of the men ar
rested appeared and were released on S10,-
600 bail each.
The work Of Withdrawing the state
troops has gone on gradually. Lieut.-Col.
Streator, whose regiment is one of those
sent home, has been proceeded against by
the friends of Private Iams for his alleged
cruel and illegal punishment of the young
militiaman for cheering for Frick's would
be assassin, and refusing to retract.
