A GIorious VICTORY

The overthrow of the republican party
Tuesday involves one of the most signal
and complete victories for the democratic
party that has ever attended a political
struggle in the worlds history. The
democratic standard has practically
swept the country from one end to the
other. not only swelling its majorities
but making enormous gains in states
where republican control. deep seated
and long standing seemed to defy Inva-
sion. Look at the results from such old
time republican strongholds as Hi
Dois, Wisconsin and Ohio. the latter
state being the one which seemed to
pride itself 10 possessing the home of
Mckinley. What democrat ought not to
rejoice 10 the outcome of Tuesdays cleo
toni The democratic column has not
lost foothold in any state where hereto
fore it might look with con idence
for the endorsement of its declarations
and principles under reasonable crcum.
stances. Cleveland has held every dem
ocoatic state, carried New York by 9
greater majority than ever and In the
north has also taken of states the New
Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Ohio
Illinois, Indiana Missouri, Colorado ano
California. From ocean to ocean, from
the gulf to the Canadian boundary line
the victory is as grand and glorious as it il
complete.

Glorious Illinois
Davenport Democrat.

DhNeDpOrt DoHOCIut'
Our sister state across the Mississippi
has been tending toward democracy for
several years; but never before since the
days of Lincoln and Douglas has she de-
clsred her position with such certain
voice as she did last Tuesday. The fig-
ures are worth looking at. In 1888 Hi
nois gave Harrison plurality OF % 1876.
In 1890 ut the election for state officers
Illinois elected Wilson, democratic. for
treasurer by plurality of 8 S47, and
Rssb, superintendent of public instruc.
ton. by plurality OF 81 052. Ia that
good year of 1890 Illinois elected legis -
lature which stood on joint ballot as fol-
lows: Republicans. 100; democrats, 1Ol
alliance men, 3. This legislature sent
John NJ Palmer to tire I'm ted States
senate. This was the first outward sign
that Illinois had become reformed on ma
tionsl as well as stste questions. MANY
believed that Pslmer's victory WAS due to
the personal popularity of the man, and
the wonderful campaign he made gave
the evidence of endurance almost un-
equaled in political stumping.
1llirois in this year OF grace, gives the
demo- ATTIC candidate for president her
electoral vote. She elects her state tick :
ct entire, aud it is believed that the demo-
Gratis OF that state also have a majority
on joint ballot in the Legislature
The sound judgne1t which led the
democratic national convention in June
last to dominate an esteemed citizen of
Illinois for vice-president, has been YER
flied. Mr.. Stevenson did not make
many speeches in his own state but the
magic of his name and his own cont
dence led his followers to do their utmost
Had Indiana been given the second place
on the ticket it is possible that Indisna
would have been democratic by an in
creased majority; but her vote is sufficient
10 test her loyalty. Mr.. Stevensou's
nomination was a compliment to Illinois
and she was shown that she appreciated
the honor paid her.

THAT GRAIN SACK.
How 1t Comes Into Port
Free of Duty.
The Foreign Bag Masguerades as an
American Manufacture and Thus
Passes the Inspectors.

There has been considerable agitation
among the officers Of the Custom.house
about the grsinbag law as changed by re-
cent legislation.
To straighten out the matter Special
Agent Of the Treasury Colonel Evans has
made out a case and sent il to the General
Appraisers at New York.
Speaking of the matter yesterday Colonel
Evans said: cit seems that the law has
been materially changed by the passage of
the act of 1890.
The old law allowed secondhand bags a
free return-that i.. grain bags exported
from the United States containing Ameri-
can grain were allowed 10 return free of all
duty.
Under the new version Of the law the
only bags which are entitled to the free re-
turn are those which. besides being sent
abroad full OF American grain, have also
been made in the United States.
THE bags which sre at present made on
this coast are either ma de from raw jute,
free Of duty. or from the imported cloth.
These amount TO about 10, 900, 600 per an
mum.
'Ihe total number of grain bags required
for the trade OH tie Pacific Coast at present
does not exceed 100000. but their number
has been enormously represented as 40, 000,-
coo or 0,000. 900 per year.
Those bags which comply with these
requisites are the same color, size and weight
as the orelgn-made bags, and while the
former are entitled TO free entrance the
latter have frequently been admitted be-
cause Of their resemblance to the Ameri-
cans
This we know because the annual num-
Der OF bags, which are returned, exceeds
the number of those exported.
There are millions Of bags returned to
New FORK and Boston every year and but
lew here; in fact. on this coast we send O ut
more bags than we receive in return and ia
those two cities, while the authort es know
that they are being imposed upon, they are
powerless 10 avert the fault, because there
Is no way to distinguish one kind from the
other.
1T is through the exertions OF the officers
Oh this port that the case has been pre-
sented TO the general authorities, and in the
meantime we shall charge the regular duty
OF cents per pound.
Il do not think that any goods should be
allowed TO return free unless they are per-
manently marked in such manner that
there VIII be no mistaEing their claims.
The Argentine Republic being great
wheat-growing country, a great many tons
OIL that product are sent 10 Europe. and in
great many cases the sacks have been sent
10 this country, but were nearly always dis
covered and the duty CHARGED, as they are
two inches longer than those of the home
manufacture -

THERE will be two issues of vital i'm
portance enter into the campaign this
year-tariff and silver. Both effect the
interests of every voter and both should
be Understood. The Republican party
is for protecting every American indus
try, because protection diversifies indus
tries, provides labor for all, insures good
wages to the workingman and artisans,
and good prices at home to the producer
of food. The Democratic party is for
free trade, which would result in low
wages and bring high prices for manu-
factured articles so soon as the American
factories were driven out of existence,
whilst low prices for food products
would be the inevitable result when all
were forced to become food producers.
AS to silver, the Republican party is
for honest money and enough of it to
transact the business of the country. 1t
provided in the last Congress for the
consumption each year of 54,OOO,OOO
ounces of American silver, putting in
circulation legal-tender dollars sufficient
to purchase that amount of silver bullion.
The majority of the Democrats in this
House voted for bill which, if it could
become law, meant silver standard
and silver currency, either of which
would be disastrous to the country.
