JOSEPH ROMER'S SPEECH.

There was an enthusiastic massm meeting in
PasSac on wednesday evening. at which one
of the best speeches Of the Republican canvass
was made. The speaker had not been adver-
tised, but he made the hit Of the evening. He
was middle-aged man In working habit.
During one Of the pauses Of the proceedings
he arose from the benches, pushed his way to
the front, and made the following eloquent
speech:
Mr.. Chairman ! work In MILL Snoe 1890. when
tho Mckinley tarin adopted have had my pay
raised md my hours OF work shortened until can
now figure a gain In wages Of sll7 year. That's
what gained by Protection.
Joseph Romer spoke with a strong German
accent but with fervor and good sense He
was employed in worsted mill, and know from
practical experience In counting his wages every
week that the Mckinley act had helped him.
Some persons may have expected when he rose
some foolish defamation about tariff barons,"
but when he related his personal experience
the audience listened with breathlcss interest
and greeted him with storm Of cheers and
applause when he closed his speech. There is
many Joseph Romer who can make equally
effective Republican speeches in this canvass.

STATE ISSUES IN NEW- YORK

"The poughkcepsie Eagle'' calls upon the
voters OF Dutchess County TO assert themselves
at the November ballot box with special empha
sis. It reminds them that it was in Qutchess
that "the steal Of the State Senate was con-
summatcd and by the Democratic eighteen in
tho Board Of Supervisors" They did indeed
rebuke this crime against popular government
at theSpring elections, but "The Eagle" urges
them to rcbulse it again and more thoroughly
this fall, reminding them that the man who
was placed in the Senate from that district by
the steal still occupies his ill-gotten seat, and
will misreprescnt the district at Albany next
winter"
There Is great force in "Thc Eagles" sug
gestion, and doubtless the voters of Duchess
will act upon it--not all Of them, but rs many
as believe in honest politics and would fain
wipe out the disgrace which the theft of the
seat of the XVIII District brought upon their
homo county. And the other counties in the
State ought to feel bound to make the same
fight for the same reason. The XVIII was not
the only district in which fraud triumphcd last
winter. The seats OF three other districts were
| wrested from their rightful possessors and
awarded to men all of whom had been defeated
four districts may well feel it to be their solemn
duty as good citizens to vote solidly aeainS;
the party which is responsible for and prolitcd
by these glaring election frauds. AS for the
other counties they cannot help but feel that
when the balot-box is assailcd in any part Of
the State a crime is committed against the
whole State. The fact is that every one of tho
sixty counties Of NewYorll actually is suf-
ferer because of the theft Of these seats, since
four bogus Senators lcgislate not only for the
districts which they misrepresent but for New
York az whole
The fundamental State issue which is to be
passed upon in November is this issue, involv-
ing the purity of the ballot-box, the right of
the majority of voters to have the candidate
whom they support receive the office to which
they elect him. Under our form of government
there cannot be an issue of graver import. But
this is by no means the only State issue which

In clancing at these tables II will be noticed
at once that in 4 great proportion OF cases The
decrease in British shipments to this country
has been relatively very heavy. The tables as
vet received in this country do not give either
quantities or values Of shipments, 70 tho United
States separately, OF glassware laces and en-
broideres. and many other articles of which it
would be interesting 20 have the details But
nuite enough appears 20 explain the heavy
losses which manufacturers and dealers in i'm
portant branches of trade IN Great Britain have
sustained. in consequence of the determination
Of Americans TO produce their own goods in
stead Of buying them from Great Britain.
Some exceptions will be readily explained
when the circumstances are remembered. For
instance. the shipments Of tin-pates, which two
wears ago were comparatively light, have been
heavy during the first half of this year, the
accumulated stocks having been nearly exhaust
cd but remark able change In prices will be
noticed-a decline from 81 40 to 81 20 per
hundredweight Another item of interest is
the large increase which appears In shipments
OF machinery from Great Britain to this coun-
try. which indicates how important have been
the new works established here of kinds for
which machinery rs yet has TO be purchased
abroad and also how important has been the
transfer of large works with the machinery
from the old country. But 1t is clear enough
that in the main the new tariff is accomplish
ing lust what il was intended TO accomplish.
II is giving 10 Americans n vastly increased
demand for their labor, building up new works
in great number, and rapidly diminishing the
amount of money sent abroad for goods which
our people are able to produce at home.

DEFEATED BY. FACTS.

There are campaign documents and campaign
documents Some of them are so evidently
the outcome of partsanshp that they have no
influence upon the minds of thoughtful men.
But the campaign documents upon which Re-
publicans largely rely to re-elect President Ilar
rison are not Of this sort. They are made up
of facts and figures whose significance can
be understood by every voter of average in
telligence. These facts and figures prove con-
clusively that the Harrison Administration has
done well by the county, that it has promoted
the common prosperity, that it's tariff policy has
led to the successful establishment Of many
new industries. has developed those before
existing and has put money in the pockets Of
the workingmen
In our own State such facts which are Of
the first Importance TO the great mass OF those
who will WELD the ballot in November, rest
on the reports made in conformity to law by
Democratic officials. The report of the Com
missioner of the Bureau OF Labor Statistics
the report of the Superintendent OF the Bank
Department, the report of the State Board OF
Equalizaton are all to the same effect. Thcy
constitute an irresistible argument against
change in the management of National affairs
since each in its own way demonstrates that
capital and labor, employer and employe, have
no reason TO wish for a change which would
break down the existing system of Protection.
Mr. Cleveland will be defeated by the official
figures, and largely Democratic figures at that
IF he could have put gag in the mouth of
Peck, moved the previous question on Preston
and abolished the State Board of Equalization
he might not thus early in the canvass have
been driven to the extremity of personally
comforting with Croker, Murphy and Shee-
han. His expedition from Gray Gables to
New York and his cultivation of the faction

GREAT BRITAIN AND THE NETT TARIFF

The fact that British commerce shows no
sipns of revival in July but is distinctly dis
beartening in its results compared with those
of previous years, lends additional interest to
recent statements Of important failures in that
country. Those who maintain that the Pro-
tectiye policy of the United States is impotent
and worthless have to confront the TACT that
British manufacturers and traders do not find
It so, but are called upon continually to attend
the financial obseQuies OF important flrms ara
comnanies in consequence Of the withdrawal OF
the trade of this country.
In most of the comparisons which have re-
Gently appeared the somewhat serious mistake
is made of contrasting British exports to the
United States this year with those of last year
But the movement last year was exceptionally
low, not only because the new tariff had then
taken effect as to nearly all the articles on
which duties had been changed, but even more
because the markets in this country had been
crowded with goods imported during the
months preceding the enforcement OF the new
tariff here, so that year ago there was much
less than the usual American demand. AS to
nearly all the important articles the proper COM
parison is with the returns for the same months
in 1890; for until about the first OF August
of that year it had hardly come to be generally
believed that the Mckinley tariff would pass
both houses of Congress without essential
modification. In the following statement guam
titles and values in pounds sterling of British
exports to the United States during seven
months of the year 1892 are compared with
those of the same months in the year 1890:

II Is not surprising, amid the general appre-
hension produced by tho cholera, that some physi-
clans should Jump TO the conclusion tlat they
have discovered cases OF that disease which are
not such in reality. Two alleged cases in Eng
land have Just been pronounced hot true cholera,
although It had previously been asserted on
seemingly good authority that both patients were
suffering from that malady. 1t Is the duty of
physcians 10 exercise extreme care In every In
stance, in order that they may not ncedlessiy
create alarm. Once or twice already cholera
has been reported as having appeared In the
United States, but the first diagnosis has each
time proved to be incorrect. No reputable physi-
cian will carclcssly announce a case of cholera.

From our home was called away,
And her shout and laughter gay
Seems o. echo family through the risting corn.
Like dream those pleasures flew,
With the years returned anew;
Little ones within my cottage home were borns
And once more hear the shout,
See the running In and out.
Happy children hiding In the rustling corn
Many years have passed away,
And my hair Is turning gray,
Gone all the loved ones OF lies rosy morn.
But feel their presence near,
Long forgotten voices hear,
While / listen to the rusting OF the corn.

President Harrison proved again v

President Harrison proved again Yesterday
his earnest and watchful solcitude about the
cholera outbreak by explicitly ordering that a
suitable part of Sandy Hook should be placed
at the disposal OF the Health authorities, and
by warning steamship companies that indilrer-
cnce or bad faith on their part might result in
closing American ports to their ships The
Presidents early action in this emergency was
universally approved, and his latest exercise
of Executive authority will be not less CRATE
fully appreciated.
The conference of colored Republicans of the
State, which adjourned at Troy yesterday,
adopted platform which shows that they arc
in the fullest sympathy with the principles and
policies of the Republican party. The purpose
of the conference was to consolidate the Afro
American Republicans Of New-York, to the
end that they may work more effectualy for
the political objects which they have in view
Their platform is clear statement of Repub
lican doctrines, and pledges the warmest sup
port to the Minneapolis ticket. There is every
reason why the coored men should stand
shoulder to shoulder with the party which won
for them their freedom, and there can be no
doubt about tho attitude of those resident in
this State who were represented at Troy.
President Harrison took drive of twenty
three miles yesterday to Saranac Lake at the
invitation OF both Democrats and Republicans,
and was most cordially received by people of
both parties. The little speech which he made
in returning thanks for the hearty welcome ex-
tended to him was in his happiest vein. He
avoided politics, of course, but in sentence
or two emphasized the responsibility of Amcri-
can citizenship. and pointed out that it is in the
COVER Of every individual to pake substsn-
