WHITELAW REID.

WHITEIAw REID will rot add any
strength to the Republican ticket, either
in New York or elsewhere. He is man
of fine appe aIance and exceptional
ability. He would discharge the duh es
of the vice presidency or of the presi-
dency with dignity, intelligence and
honesty. But he has no personal fol-
lowing, and neither his character nor
the means by which he secured the
nomination are such as to commend him
to popular favor. Twenty years ago
REID was brilliant young man who
worked for HORACE GREELEY. He COM
bined literary skill and canny Scotch
business drift. When GREELEY died,
after his disastrous campaign, REID in
duced JAY GOULD to buy the Tribune
for him. 1t was III a demoraliZed
condition, but under his direction
it has developed into a powerful,
rich and readable journal. Later in his
career REID married the daughter of d.
o. MILLS. the California millionaire,
who has succeeded GOULD in the own
ership of the paper, and who has made
his SOn-ln-law All enormously wealthy
man. He who in 1872 was a struggling
editor now lives in the mansion on
Madison avenue which HENRY VII
LARD built for himself at an outlay of
million dollars when he was at the top
notch of his first success. A record of
this sort shows that REID has capacity
and the will to get ahead in the world.
But he is, and always has been,
naughty. proud. selfish, disdainful, the
atrIcal. pretentious individual, wit hOut
warm human sympathies or gentleness
of thought and feeling. He has never
mingled with his fellows and won their
affection as CHESTER A. ART HUR
had. lie has not the reputation
for business integrity and courteous
bearing which made it impossible to
criti%ise LEVI p. MORTON four years
ago. He is simply cold, calculating
plutocrat, and has been hOnored by the
Republicanparty because he is expected
to contribute literally to the sinewS of
war. The American people have not
yet sunk so low as to approve the sale
of the vice presidency. WHITELAw
REID will inspire no enthusiasm. Any
simple yeOman the Democrats may name
will be preferred before him.

STATE PRESS TIPS.

The Atwater Press booms Hon. Joseph
Leicht. of Winona, editor of the Herald, as
candidate for state treasurer on the Demo
cratic ticket.
The Grant Herald does not support him.
but says: II. E. Boen, Of Otter Tail. is as
good as nominated for congress by the Peo-
pies party of this district. He is a shrewd
and untiring campaigner, and his chances Of
election are not to be despised.
Joel seems to be the coming man according
to the Litchfeld Review: 1t will not be at
all surprising if Joel P Heatwole receives
the guberpatorial nomination. His many
friends think his boom is growing, and that
the chances for his his nomination are i'm
proving.
AS to the Sixth district the Carlton Vidette
says: The tabulated statement i'll the Du-
luth News of Thursday, By prominent Alli-
ance man. proves conclusively that The Sixth
district is Democratic. If the Democrats Of
this district can only get hold of a good,
strong man to bear their standard there is no
reason why they should not win.
Some of the Blaine papers. like the Pine
Knot, kick in this way: Both the Pioneer
Press and the Minneapolis Tribune are de-
serving of censure in its most severe form
for the partial reports they have made of the
national convention. They have done, moth
ing during the entire week but cry down
Blaine and extol Harrison. The Pioneer
Press went so far as to intimate that If Blaine
should be the nominee of the convention the
Pioneer Press would not support him. r

THE TARIFF PLANK.

To the fierce FORAKER is popularity
attributed the construction of the Re-
publican national platform of 1892. 1t
is daring party which ventures to
stand upon so crazy piece OF archi-
lecture.
Notice the tariff plank, for example.
The enemy reaffirms the American doc
trine of protection. This is all right.
Everybody expected that they would.
But what do they mean by protection?
They proceed to explain, and here is
their language:
I'VE believe that on all imports coming
into competition with the products of Amer
ican labor there should be levied duties
equal to the difference between wages abroad
and at home
Could anything be clearer than this?
Certainly not. Protection is a system
under which commodities produced III
this country are saved by means of
impoStS from the destructive competi-
ton of foreign makers who can pro-
duce more cheaply because they have
a cheaper labor supply to draw OH.
If it were not for protection, the
products of American labor would
find no sale. The pauper products
of Europe would drive them from the
market. But the tariff raises prices,
and in this way secures the American
producer a reasonable return on his
work and the capital he has invested.
There is nothing the matter with such
reasoning. 1t is simply great. The
public is earnestly requested to stick in
a pin at this point and remember that
protection raises prices.
But what about the next sentence in
the Republican platform? 1t reads as
follows:
I'VE assert that the prices of manufactured
articles of general consumption have been
reduced under the operation of the tariff act
of lS90''
Is not this curio0s? There is no ques-
ton about the accuracy of the quota
ton. but what Is its significance? We
have already settled once for all that
the virtue of proteetionism is that it
raises prices. We have not only set
tied it, but we have stuck in pin so
that we might remember it. And yet
the very next instant we are con-
fronted with the astonishing informa-
ton that the EXTREMIST of tariff leeisIa-
ton enacted in the history of the CIVIL
lied world has resulted i'll reduction
of prices. The tariff maintains the
dignity of American labor by en-
hancing the market value of the COM
moditits it produces - and again it
doesn't do anything of the kind.
This is as upsetting as to take seid-
litzepowder by installments.

THEY ARE NOT IN 1T.

The MCKINLEY organs are in a fever

of the tinmakers of Wales will come to
this country to establish their factories.
1t is not surprising that they should do
So They are offered big bonus in the
tariff to come. They will bring their
workmen with them and pay the prices
of old world labor. Under the admins
tratiOn of the law, it is found that the
contract labor act is easily eyaded. 1t
was stated in the dispatches yesterday
that WHITELAw REID was able to bring
in marble workers from Austria to use
in the erection Of his mansion, at rs
cents per day, in place Of the
local workers, who would have
s. or more. These Welsh tin
workers will fill the factories, and
if they are the "pauper labor"
represented, will aid to degrade and in
jure American labor, as in the case OF
the lumbermen. The duty on lumber
closed many of the Canadian mills, and
gave the lumber magnates a monopoly
of the home market. Soon the Canadian
workmen. thrown out of employment,
came over and offered to work for S25
per month. The wages at once fell to
those figures, and the Canadians were
given the places of those who would not
take the low figures. This is fair
Illustration of the operation or protec-
tiOn so far as the wage earners are con-
cerned. These Welsh manufacturers
will pay no more wages than they
are forced to, and insist upon low
figures III order to compete for
trade abroad. American consumers
will not get their tinware at any less
prices than heretofore. They will be
paying an annual bonus of SIG, ,000.O 600 to
$50, 100000 in order that these Welsh
capitalists may be paid for bringing
their works over here and giving en-
ployment to few thousand people who
were fed on American foOdstuffs over
the water, just as they will be here.
The American farmer and the Ameri-
can workman will not be in it.

THE IMPENDING CONFLICT.

Already the campaign has definite
shape. 1t is to be one of apology and
evasion on the Republican side. of vigor
and directness on the part of the De-
mocracy. For its iniQuitous tariff tax,
for its force bill abortion. for its billion
dollar extravaganza, for its outrageous
suppression of minority rights in the
Fifty-firSt congress, for its pension
bureau scandals. for the intOlerant big
Otry and narrOwness of its presidential
candidate. and for the malignant hostiI-
ity of its presidential candidate to-
ward union labOr-fOr all of these and
for its many other sins and shOrtcom-
ings the Republican party is now con-
strained to account to the people: and
between new and November Its entire
time and energy will be consumed in
frantic attempts at explanation and self
justification. The necessity of defend
ing its own crumbling breaStWOrKS Will
leave it no opportunity for attacking the
IampartS of the enemy.
The Democracy, on the other hand, is
strong i'll the consciousness of its own
invulnerability. Its ramparts, built on
the rocks OF economy, simplicity and
honesty. are absolutely unasSaila bic,
and need 10 defenders. 1t has no
apologies to make, no accusations to
evade. Its record for the past is its
battle cry for the present-tariff reform,
pension reform, opposition to bayonet
bills, suppression of class legislation,
economy in public expenditure, an
adequate currency, Encouragement of
trusts, reform of the various abuses
perpetrated by the Republican party
during its long lease of power-theSe
are the stones in the mighty wall of
Democratic principles; and of these, too.
is constituted the battering-ram which
will denOIish the weakened defenses of
the enemy. Such contest can logically
terminate only in one way. The most
skillful of Republican apologiSts will be
powerless to parry the vigorous thrusts
of Democratic directness. Evasion will
avail nothing, aud explanations will not
explain. The Republican party will go
down in ungallant and inglOriOus defeat
next November, and the Democracy will
win the triumph which forever waits on
steadfaSt merit and unflagging yigi-
lance.

ton. This also will be his power before
the people.
LIKE OTHER PEOPLE.

In spite of the car eleSsness OF so many
people in incurring perils to life from
b 9th external and internal forces, and
the frequency with which individuals
take their own lives, the average man or
woman wants to live right along. Even
if there is hard tussle for subsistence
and the system is full of aches and pains,
people as a rule would stay in the world
indefinitely. The cases where it is left
as matter of preference are the eXcep-
ton. An elixir that even promises Its
prolongatiOn has an excited following,
as in the case of the BRowN-SEQUARD
craze of few years ago. Were there
fountain of life-perpetuating waters
at the mort h pole, a railroad tun-
mel would be opened there If
here were no other way to reach
it. An illustrative incident comes
from Russia, where the valuation OF
life may be supposed to be very low. A
civil engineer with a difficult Russian
name, who had been prospecting for
railroad in Turkestan. returned with
report that he had found place on the
borders of Thibet where the people
never died. This was interesting, but
the explanation he gave of their peren-
NAL vitality stirred fever of excite
ment. 1t was due to an elixir OF rare
elements. which was injected into the
arm. He had with great difficulty been
able to obtain some or this, and would
give persons who desired the benefit OF
1t at reasonable compensation. People
of all stations and conditions in
life flocked to him and took their
dose, after the manner of the
KELLEY operators. 1t was better than
a gold mine to him. Unhappily, how
ever, for the permanency of his reputa-
ton as benefaetor and philanthroplSt,
a prominent general VINO was operated
upon died from the effect of the in
fusion, probably due to some blunder
in the operator. Then the furor was
followed by a panic of dismay. The
nostrum vendor was arrested, and con-
fessed that he had been humbugging
them for his own good. His prepara-
ton contained nothing but borax and
glycerine, and he had made up the
story about the Thibet people. The
credulouS victims are now jeered at for
their folly. But they are pretty much
like other people, without regard to
nature or intelligence. They are easily
carried away by torcefuI absurdities that
promise continuance OF life.

to HARRISON for promoting their ad-
mission. If he was so active as repre-
sented in inviting in new states in their
case he cannot consistently stand in the
way of these other aspirants. There
are no real objections not partisan that
were not as applicable to Wyomin g and
Idaho. Arizona has about Il e same pop
ulatiOn as Wyoming when admitted, and
New Mexico nearly double that of
Idaho. 1t is probable that the appli-
cants may not elect Rep ublican sena-
tors, although all the other states ad-
mitted since the war have representa-
tives of that party in the senate. except
ing the third party men in South
Dakota and Kansas. In fact, the.
Republicans would be in a mi
nority in the upper body but for
the votes they have from the states
admitted since HARRISON has been
president. A party that corralS all the
high ideas ought to be above mere par
tisan considerations. If these candi-
dates for statehood are kept out n ow,
they will come in after the election of
Democratic president, and the fact that
the Republicans would keep them out
will be remembered i'll their voting.

chosen to attend the congressional con-
ventiOn in this district were John Gun
solus. James McDunough, w. D. Arm
strong and w. A. Fields. The follow
ing resolutions were passed:
Whereas, 1t has become necessary for the
farmers, mechanics and laborers of Mime
sofa, and particularly county, to seek redress
for many grievances imposed upon them by
the unjust legislation, discrimination aud
partiality to bankers. SyudicateS and wealthy
corporations i'll general; and
Whereas, 1t has become evident that
neither the Republican or Democratic party
is willing, but, on the contrary. is most un-
willing, TO oppose the redress of the many
grievances imposed on the aforesaid classes
Therefore. Resolved, That the Farmers
Alliance of Waseca county do hereby accept
the platform of principles set forth by the
Peoples party and promulgated st the con-
vention held at st. Louis Feb. "a, 1S92. and
that we will most earnestly seek to promote
the election OF the person VINO shall be noml-
mated, to uphold and establish said prlnci-
pies as the surest means of obtaining redress
and justice.
Resolved, That we look upon and recog-
nize in Hon. Ig1atius Donnelly great leader
and intrepid reformer. and the champion of
the cause OF the farmer and laborlng people
of Minnesota today. and that we pledge our
best. hearty and enthusiastic support to this
great leader for any office, state or national,
for which he may be named.

"A TRANSPARENT PRETEN-
SION

First for its effect on the Minneapolis
convention and afterwards for its effect
on the country, the cry is raised that
1.-THE business interests of the country
demand President HARRISON'S re-elec-
tiOn." Of what consistency is this pre-
Hension? 1t is mere soft soap and water
blown into bubble that bursts and
TanisheS into thin air at the least sug-
gestiOn of pricking. The legitimate
business interests of this country are
established on too secure basis to be
appreciably affected one way or the
other by presidential contest. Those
Interests which are not legitimate,
which owe their baneiul existence to
nOxious class legislation, are the only
ones at all dependent on the political
fortunes of the indianapolis attor-
ney. Tariff-bred trusts and monOp-
olies may well raise a shout for
iBESJAMIN HARRISON. for he has
proved their firm friend and ally.
They must do more than shout-they
must purchase his election, if it is to be
secured, at much higher figure than
TINT of four years ago. He was not
known in 1883, out now he has record
10 account for. and it will take the ut
termOSt resources OF corruption to con-
tinue him in power. Indeed. even the
uttermost will fall short of enough:
for although gliding the pill may make
it pleasing to the eye, it cannot de-
strov the bad taste of previous dose
of The same medicine. The most and
the least which the benefciarieS of
tariff extortion and other class legisla-
tiOn can do for their friend, the presI-
dent. is to show their gratitude by going
with him into losing fight. They can
dO their best for him, as he has done his
best for them, but they need not hope

1t is astonishing to read what the pa
pers of the large cities have to say
about the probable action of the coming
Chicago convention. They discuss the
claims and the merits of this Democrat
and of that one as though there were
any doubt as to who is to be the party's
nominee. Other names may be pre-

CLEVELAND Will receive a two-thlrds
vote on the first ballot unless every in
dication deceives. The time has been
now and again during the four years
just ending when this was not a settled
fact. But on these occasions the amaz-
ing vitality of the man has not been ap-
preciated. 1t must now be admitted
that he has hold on the affections
and confidence of the country which
puts all his rivals in the shade. HILL,
PALMER, GRAY, WHITNEY, RUSSELL,
CAMPBELL, BoIEs, PATTIsoN, GoRMAN
are all characters of exceptional
strength, and are all fit for the highest
gifts. But impossible changes in popu-
lar sentiment will have to be worked in
the next ten days to give them any
standing in competition with the ex-
president. He will win without an
effort. No packed delegations, no
cohort of officeholders. no hired negroes,
no subsidized galleries will be needed
to secure MIN the victory. His merit
will be his power before the conyen-
