Feb. %, 1SOs, and came through to Ohio with her
father and family of twelve children in wagon

During most of her illness she was conscious, rec

QUESTIONS.

If protection makes millionaires, why
have nine in ten of the large fortunes
in America been amassed in the so called
non Protected industries?
If Protection does not maintain Amer
ican wages, why are they about twice as
high as in any other country under the
sun?
If the Tariff is "Tax," why can you
buy numberless articles for less than the
very duty which is imposed on them?
If our higher wages are due to the
greater efficiency of American working
men, why do foreigners who come here
receive two or three times as much as is
paid for the same work in their own
country?
If Free Trade would benefit American
agriculture, why has it impoverished the
farmers of England, Ireland, India, and
wherever it has been tried?
If Free Trade would help this country
generally why did it plunge us into
bankruptcy and misery every single time
it has been tried here?
If nation must buy in order to sell,
why was the balance of trade in our
favor more than s202, 100000 in the past
year?
If the adoption of Cleveland's Tariff
policy in this country would not benefit
why are the English press and
public so earnest in their advocacy of
his election?
If the Mckinley act raises prices of
why are they lower now

If it lowers wages, why are wages

As REPUBLICANS we might, says
John Russell Young, rest our campaign
upon this explicit issue. Keep the good
we have. Why throw it away? 1t was
not wise, said Lincoln, to swap horses
crossing stream. Is it wise to stop a
train heading toward prosperity at fifty
miles an hour TO put on conductor who
does not know the way? Grave issues
will develop as consequence of finan-
cial conditions in the North and social
relations in the South. How much
safer to meet them under the leadership
of wise, conservative and experienced
President like Harrison, than the crowd
of adventurers and experiments who
would come in the trail of Mr.. Cleveland.

A CADIZ minister a few weeks ago
preached a sermon on the labor troubles
at Homestead. 1t was a moderate and
logical argument in defense of law and
order against anarchy. Immediately the
Democratic organ of Harrison county
attacked the discourse, setting up--if
not directly-a least by implication as a
champion of lawlessness. Democracy
as rule does not seem to be shedding
any tears over the shooting of Frick or
over the other troubles at Homestead.
Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1892-08-18

Mr.. CLEyELAHp's letter in which he
said. 81 earnestly hope that such repre-
sentation may be made to your Governor
as will avert the execution of the death
sentence" was undoubtedly the cause of
Governor Buchanan'S leniency in regard
to the convicted murderer King. Bu-
chanan withstood all pressure except
that from the man whom he regards as
the probable fountain of future federal
patronage. And so Cleveland has a
large share in an act regarded by almost
the whole press of the North and South
as fragrant abuse of executive power.

of slavery without its pastoral domestic
charm? Labor under Republican rule

The Homestead Affair.

A sympathy strike, supplementary to the
great strike at Homestead. look place last week.
On account of the attempt of the Carnegie
Company to put their Twenty ninth street mill
in Pittsburg in operation with non-union work.
men the employees of the bumper department.
155 in number, went out. These men are
not members of the Analgamated Associa-
tion, and have been working ever since the
lockout at Homestead since the others came
in the mill, came out in sympathy with the
Homestead men. 1t was fully understood,
however that the bumper men would not work
with any but those formerly employed in the
mill and who were members o. the Amalga-
mated Association. The mill closed tempo
rarily.
Last week car loaded with steel billets
standing outside the yard of the Thirty third
street mill in Pittsburg was blown up with
dynamite. The explosion caused a great deal
of excitement, and the non union workmen
were very much frightened.
The loeked-out workers successfully boy
cotted, although they deny it, one Adolph
Doerer, Homestead's principal butcher, who,
deprived of the towns business, will thereby
lose at the rate of $4,000. The attack was
short but effective 1t resulted in his being
obliged to close up place of business, call in
ice wagons, selling 20 tons day, and stop his
milk business. This was all because he sold to
the non-unionists and officers in the mills in
disregard Of the strikers warning. A system
attic baycott followed. hr. Doerer is consult

The First President of Brazil Dead.

Marshal Deodoro de Fonseca is dead. In the
war with Paraguay. ending 1870, Deodoro
achieved distinction, and On his return the
Emperor Dom Pedro bestowed upon him the
Order of the Rose, then made him command
ant of the army in Matto Crosse Province, and
finally raised him to the rank of General. In
1883 Fonseca was instrumental in forming a
republican military club Finally, however,
the enthusiasm in his behalf became so great
that he was able to organize the successful
revolution which deprived Dom Pedro OF his
throne and made Brazil Republic. Fonseca
was then chosen President of tho Provisional
Government. and in January, $780, was made
Generalissimo OF the army. In November,
1891, Fonseca dismissed Congress- assn med
