WITHOUT FACTS.

The New York Herald declares that the
calamity howlers who compose the Peo-
pies party are absolutely without any
facts this year to justify their calculations,
and the Herald supports its position with
the following array of significant facts and
figures:
Imports during the fiscal year ending June 80
were greater than those of any former year,
amounting TO ssS3 COO 900, while exports also ex-
cecded the highest record and reached the encr-
nous aggregate OF 81 ,0G,09O,Oa Railroad earn
ings for tae first six months OF the year are
greater than those for any similar
period in history, and the output
Of manufactures has been greater
than ever before. Business failures Cor the first
half of the present year have been 1000 fewer in
number and $4o. 10000 less in gross liabilities
than thsy were during the corresponding period
of 1891 New industrial enterprises for manu-
featuring iron, cotton and wooIen fabrics are
going into operation in various sections, and
while the margin of profits is small, business is
on q solid foundation, and the outlook IN every
direction is hopeful and encouraging. The
grain crop is promising, money is abundant and
collections are easy.
By comparison of the rates OF wages current
in Septem Der, 1891. in the United States aud
in Great Britain, il the same occupations, il
would appear that wages in the United States
in these occupations averaged "a per cent
greater than in Great Britain.

hurt both Cleveland and Stevenson.
Cleveland disgnsted the friends of law and
order by pretending 10 believe that the
Homestead strike and not were the revolt
of i'll paid labor oppressed by an unjust
tariff. In face OF the facts this pretense
only convicted him ofthe shallowest kind of
demagogy, Misrepresentation TO the point
Of deliberate faisehood or the grossest kind
of ignorance. Stevenson followed in the
same vein Of absurd Indictment OF the pro-
tective tariff for the existence of an indus
trial strike against the highest wages in
the world.
SO far from the Homestead not having
been Of any advantage 10 the Democrats,
il has made many man ask himself
whether he cared 10 see IS many industrial
strikes in this country as England has
been the scene of under free trade during
the last three years. If well paid labor
viii strike and riot under protection, what
will poorly paid labor do under tariff for
revenue only, which viii force every man
ufacturer to cut wages TO the level Of for
eign labor?

SEATTLE, EOyDAT. AUG. 4.
ONE VIEW OF OUR PRIMARIES.

In view of the facts one would be Iusti-
Aed in suspecting the Tacoma Ledger Of
being facetious when it published the fol-
lowing telegram relating to the Repub-
hcan primaries in King county:
SEATTLE, July 3o.-Ex-MsYor Harry Whites
forces are jublant tonight over the result OF to-
days primaries, for they have swept everything
before them in the three largest wards in the
city, the First, second and Third. In the past
these wards have given tie heaviest Republican
majorities. This iDsures whites friends
two senatorial districts. They would have
carried smother had IL not been for the fact
that Brainerd, who Is working with White
became alarmed and effected q compromise
with the Posr-IsfRLLI6EScEs outfit under
the belief that a fight would eodanger Re-
publican success in his district this
fall, and he, therefore entered into
. compromise with the understanding that
the PosT-ISTgLLIGEScEg crowd were TO have
oBe-hslf of the county delegation and Brainerd
the other, thus insufing an equal division OF
the legislative delegation. But Brainerd IN
wisely left the printing of the ballots of the
compromise tickle, 10 the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
outfit, and when he arrived at the polls he was
dismayed TO perceive that the PosT-INTELLiGES-
GEE people had played him false by having the
tickets printed without one Of his friends
names on them. Prominent Republicans assert
that this sharp practice By the PosT-lSTELLs-
GEScEg ENSURES Democratic success in that dis
tyic; this fall Taken all in all, however. ii is
splendid victory for the White forces, although
none OF them will support any one for the
United States Senate who will not pledge HIM
self to support the Lake Washington canal pro-
position.
1t is evident that the Ledger's CORE
spondent was so overcome by the result OF
the primaries tina: he did not know what
had happened. The only fact that he was
able to grasp was that primaries had taken
place. If there is anything else in the
telegram that approaches the truth or has
q shadow Of foundation in truth, it is so
thoroughly concealed that nobody is able
to discover 1t.

CHICAGO, Oct. 1S.-Fifteen buildings,

window of the Hotel Kent, and strik-
ing her head was instantly killed. An
