Protection is SIayery-Free Trade is Eman-
cipation.

The Democratic platform is the eman-
cipation proclamation of 63,000,O00 who
are slaves to the protection masters
that have kept them in bondage for
thirty years.
Alabama May BIO Counted ON Safely In No
vemDer.
From the New Orleans Times DE- mocrat.
The election shows clearly that Ala
bama is clearly Democratic, and can be
counted on to return an overwhelming
majority for Cleveland in November.
The attempt to split the party there as
elsewhere in the South has proved
failure.
Pausing for Reply TO This Pointed Cues
ton.
Prom the Memphis Appcal-Avalanchc.
If Congress has been extravagant,
President Harrison could have checked
it, but he has not done so. Does any
one doubt that Mr.. Cleveland would. il
President, put down eXtaavagant ex-
penses.
For Matchmaking tho United States.
From the st. Louis Republic.
The Force bill is too voiumiuous for
publication in q newspaper, but the Re-
public hopes every voter will write to his
Congressman for an official copy of it,
that he may see how skillfully the Har-
rison radicals have laid their plans for
Mexicanizing the United States.
Unjust and Un-Americau In Spirit.
From tho Kansas City Star.
Governor Mckinley with all his earn
estness and the apparent honesty of his
convictions failed to strengthen the

ence has proved to be unjust and un-
American in spirit
Very Mad at the Economist.

Is on the Down Grade is the Peoples Party
in Colorado.
From the Boise City (Idaho) Statesman
The outlook for the Peoples party in
Colorado does not seem so bright az 1t

inevitable disintegration have begun,
and the movement which has been in
full swing there since the Omaha
| convention is on the down grade.
High Wages Paid in Protection Countries
Only.
From the Kansas City (Mo.) journal.
Free traders will argue all day that
the tariff does not raise wages, but they
never once explain why it is only in a
protection country that big wages are
paid. A search through all the free

Democrats No Longer Discuss Wages Paid

From the Burlington (Vt) Free Press.
The Democrats do not seem to have
