THE PROTEGE OF PROVE
DENCE.

Recent events have probably not
shaken Mr.. HARRIsoN's faith in him
self as the especial protege of Provi-
dence. On the contrary, his belief in
the divine ordination of dynasties in
general, and the Harrisonian dynasty in
particular, is doubtless more deeply
rooted than ever. Much has been
written and remarked about this pc
culiar belief of the president that he
and the Almighty are running Repub-
lican politics in partnership. Some
have considered it touching evidence
of confidence in the divine care which
guards and guides truly good Presby-
terian elder, while others have been
constrained to regard it as little less
than blasphemous. But, however that
NAV be, BENJAMIN's own idea of the
n aH lShlp subSisting between himself
anu ais tutelar divinity is aptly illus
trated by the case of the pious
gentleman Of color who was so mfracu-
lously assisted in fulfilling a contract to
shovel sand into hollow. 1t is related
that when this colored gentleman came
to begin work in the early morning he
found that a violent wind storm during
the night had carried even more than
the requisite amount of sand into the
hollow. He therefore leyeled it off
nicely, removed a little surplus. and
claimed his pay. HIS employer was in
cllned to object OIL the ground that the
work had not been done by the claim
ant. But said the latter, "the Lord
worked for me, and rs Untitled to the
increment"
That is the basis of the relationship
which BENJAMIN HARRISON likes to
think exists between himself and Provi-
dence. He makes the contracts and
takes charge of the increment. and
Providence is expected to do the rest
1t has worked fairly well so far. but
BENJAMIN's faith is destined for a rude
shock next November.

nnIDn printers throughout the country

ceed in his endeavor to patch up a
quasi peace with Big Six" the trans
parent hypocrisy of his conversion will
but intensity the feeling against him.
That feeling is well expressed in word
by Secretary HOWARD, of the carpen-
ters' council of Chicago. who asks
''DOeS the Republican party think we
will swallow that ticket with REID on
it? A man who has fought organized
labor for years, and who has the su-
preme gall to make concessions when
he wants their vote? Whv, we wonld

Oh, no, organized labor in Chicago will
show the Republican party that ii they
can not agree among themselves when
it comes to putting up ticket of their
own, they can always agree on a fight
against the common enemy" And so
1t goes all over the country. The alarm
has even led to the suggestion that the
national Republican committee take
Mr.. REID's name off the ticket; but
they will not dare do that, and the
Jonah will go down with the rest of the
shiplOad next November.

found in the list. but good many
people have posed as large contrib itors

There is probably great amount of ex-
aggeration as to the sums the party
committees really obtain. Millionalres

in round sums. WANAMAKER, with a

paign, has been credited with pouring

hundred thousand dollars, perhaps
mostly from other party beneficiaries.
but no atteSted statements have been
given the public. 1t Is line of benev-
Olence in which there is little exact in
formation given the public. Massachu-

this direction.

THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

But that it should Immediately there
after turn about and bedeck with fnl-
some eulogy the silver plank of the
Minneapolis convention, is entitled TO
notice. because it IS a typical instance
of Republican perfidy and hypocrisy.
The Pioneer Press, if it has not changed
its views i'll the past few months, be-
lieves in mOnometalism. 1t would have
gold used as the standard and silver as
sort of subsidiary coin which would
circulate side by side with gold,
but possessing the functions of
token rather than of real money.
The Republican platform comes
out squarely for the use of both gold
and silver as standard money, and ad-
vanceS the astonishing economic false
hood that it is possible by legislation to
maintain the two metals at parity of
value. 1t carefully fails to disclose how
this can be done, because such course
would toppie over the perilouS Straddle
it is risking. The free coinage men are
invited to understand that their pet
measure is the legislation which will
achieve this miraculous result, the
friends of the SHERMAN law can
give the words an interpretation
in their favor if they want to,
and those who would demonet-
ize silver until an international agree
ment is arrived at can find shelter un-
der their catholicity. The declaration
means anything, and for that reason
means nothing, and so it was intended.
Mr.. JONES, of Nevada, and Mr.. TELLER,
of Colorado. are as enthusiastic about
its phraseOlogy as Mr.. HARRISON or
MIR. SHERMAN can be. This may be
goLd politics. Perhaps it is also the
wiseSt course to shun a conflict on this
problem, and let time bring the solu-
ton, as it surely will. But to claim for

THE FARMER NOT IN 1T.

Reciprocity is the BLAINE alleViatIOn
of Mckinleyism that the party has been
forced to accept while rejecting its
author. The main achievements claimed
for it are IN connection with the South
American republics. Among the recent
publications of the agricultural depart
ment is a report upon the agriculture
of those Southern countries. with some
discussion OF the relations of reciprocity
to the subject. The report was pre-
pared by Mr.. BARNES. formerly consul
in Venezuela. He first adyerts to the
geographical and climatic differences
between the two continents. the one
being largely in the temperate and
the other in the tropical zones.
This causes a difference in productions
and affords favorable conditions for
their exchange. The imports from South
America to this country last year are
computed at Sl52, ,000,0 900. of which S119,-
100000 were agricultural. The exports
from the United States TO that c0nti-
nent were So, 900. 600, only third of
which were from the farms. Brazil
took more than half of the breadstuffS
and provisions. The United States re-
eeiyed about % per cent of the exports
of the South American countries. but
furnished them with only per cent of
their imports. An examination of the
data furnished in the report does not
afford encouragement for the farmer
i'll finding a market for his sur
plus in that direction. They are
not large consumers of food Stuffs
from abroad. The great Argentine Re-
public, Chilli and Uruguay feed their
own people. and have a surplus
TO supply the deficiencies of those
that import. If this country had the
exclusive control of their markets. the
demand for farm supplies would be too
small to cut any figure. 1t is not ques-
toned that it Is desirable TO have the
freedom of the South American mar
kets, for it will give some of the manu-
facturers chance, provided they can
compete with the "pauper labor" of
Europe. Ii is claimed that they can do
this, and put their goods there profita-
bly,. In that event, the puzzle comes
why they are not able to compete with
England, France and Germany in this
country, if the latter can be undersold
i'll South America. England admits
their coffee, sugar, hides and rubber
free also, SO that there is nothing in that
to induce diversion of their trade to
this country. The reciprocity scheme
was designed to aid the manufacturers

kets. but when it is claimed that any
percGptible advantage is to accrue to
the farmers, there is an effort to mis-
lead and deceive. The farmer is moi

MUST BE THE ISSUE.

During the progress of the Minneap-
oils convention, a leading Republican
paper admonished the delegates to bear
in mind that there are not Republicans
enough in the country to elect presi-
dent, and added, for their encourage
ment, that neither are there Democrats
enough to elect Democratic national
ticket. The one would be elected that
in its personality and representative
character best commended itself to the
Judgment of the growing class of voters
who are not controlled by party names.
There is measure of truth in this. The
Republicans have nominated men OF
reputable standing personally, and who
are not vulnerable on the score of capac-
ity. The Democrats at Chicago the COM
ing week will select candidates who will
be equally unassailable as capable and
irreproachable individuals. The votes of
the intelligent and fluctuating class will
be controlled chiefly by the principles
affirmed by the parties. This class two
years ago voted with the Democrats,
mainly from dissatisfaction with the
position of thee Republicans OH impor-
tant public questions They were for
tariff reduction. while the Republican
position had just been defined in the
MCKINLEY tariff. They are still op-
posed to that policy. It's chief spirit
was at the head of the Minneapolis con-
yentiOn, and he breathed upon the
architects of the platform. If the
Democrats would hold the votes
that did them such good service two
years ago, they must stand by tariff re-
form 'as the paramount issue of the
campaign. All the indications point to
this. Even in Silver Coin age BLAND'S
home district the Democrats have de-
clared for this as the overshadowing is
sue. With it, and with men recognized
as its faithful representatives, the ticket
to he nominated at Chicago will receive
the support OF the great element that
has shown its procliyities on this ques-
ton, and be elected by sweeping ma
jOrity.

WITH CHARACTERISTIC UR-

The Pioneer Press, with characters

public that the GLOBES skull is so
thick and its Ignorance so Grass that
all the tones destroyed in the AleXan
drian fire would not hold even brief
summary of the things il does not and
can never know. This charming eXhibi-
ton of courtesy and good breeding
was called forth by simple comparison
this paper had ventnred on Sunday
last between the phraseOlogy employed
by the New York and Minnesota Demo-
Gratis in their latest declarations on the
silver question and the language of the
corresponding plank in the platform
adopted at the Minneapolis convention.
The Pioneer Press seems to be good
deal irritated by the GLOBES humble
efforts, and, after expressing the Opin-
ion that it neither understands nor can
learn anything about finance, gracious
ly points out the highiroad to the eXalt-
ed position of wisdom which it occupies.
Nobody can truthfullY accuse the
Pioneer Press of ignorance, least of all
on the money or the tariff questions. 1t
constantly calls attention TO its own
erudition, aud its daily performances
justify all that it mOdestly claims for
itself. Besides this, 1t is able occasion
ally to refer to ''the magnificent work
or MCLEOD" which is the most conclu-
Sive evidence of a liberal education.
and it has written a series OF 500
articles of eight columns each on
the Evils of Cheap Money" These
were compiled with several pairs OF
shears by the most exhaustive. original
research and investigation into Senator
MORRILL's report on the Leland STAN
ford land currency bill, and are noble
monument to the physical vigor of their
author. \ paper with record of this
sort is not ignorant. On the contrary, it
knows it all. But its sins are of more
serious dye than ignorance. 1t is guilty
of dishonesty. Understanding the truth,

CAICAGO, June 16.-A morning paper
has the following dispatch from Wash

Washington expect TO see the nomina-

Mr.. Cleveland's most enthusiastic
adherents is Senator Palmer. who does
not hesitate to give utterance to his

the majority of the delegates Sc

it would be policy to vote for him.
"Mr. Cleveland is just as strong before
