rEIt is fact that cannot be denied
that the workingmen of America are to-
day receiving greater wages in money
by more than fifty per cent. than they
received before republican protection
began in 1861. 1t is equally undeniable
that every dollar they receive in wages
will to-day buy more than one dollar
and thirty cents would have bought in
1861. These two facts ought to be
enough to determine every reasonable
workingman to vote for Harrison and
for the continuation of the great indus
trial policy which has brought about
such results, N. \, Tribune;

CRIMES AND CASUALTIES.

On the night of the 30th the steamer

drowned. Harry Stewart, of Algonac,
Mich, was the sole survivor.
AT Barinage, Belgium, on the 1st,
twenty-five persons were killed and
eight mortally wounded by an explosion
in the Aggrappe coal mine.
On the 1st the hearing in the case of
Lizzie Borden, charged with the muir
der Of her father and stepmother, at
Fall River, was closed, and the accused
was remanded to Jail for trial at the
November term.
JUDGE WILLIAM r. BLAINE, ordinary
of Glenn county, Ca, was arrested, on
the 1st, in the act of stealing money
from the safe of Grover Michaelson at
Brunswick, Ga. He walked right into
a trap that had been laid for him,
Michaelson having lost 50, 200 within the
last six months.
JOHN KoLEsER, a Hungarian, in jail
at Cleveland, o., on charge of wife
murder, forestalled the hangman, on
the 1st, by hanging himself in his cell
with twisted sheet.
IT is reported that 2, 900 Afghans were
killed in the last battle with the revolt
ing Hazaras.
At Wise C. H., Va, on the I'd, Talton
Hall, the Kentucky desperate credited
with ninety-nine murders, was hanged
for the murder of Policeman Hylton,
of Norton, Va, last July. He had ex-
pressed a desire to make speech be-
fore his execution, but when confronted
by the crowd his nerve failed him and
he had to be revived with whisky, with
which his courage had been kept up
during the last few days of life. The
expected attempt at rescue was not
made.

and so puffed up with vanity that he
did not hesitate to set himself up as
the possessor of wisdom incomparably
superior to that of congress. He looked
down upon senators and representa-
tives as an inflated and self-suficient
pedagogue might look down upon his
pupils, and he lectured them in his
veto messages as the pedagogue lee
lures his flock. Previous to his admin
istration, from Washington to Arthur,
inclusive, only 100 veto messages had
been sent to congress. 1t had not been
customary for presidents to assume to
be infinitely wise. But it remained
for the political accident from Erie
county, almost wholly unacquainted
with public life and having no claim to
craftsmanship, to show that he, at
least, knew how to use the veto power.
He overruled the congressional will
five times as often in four years as his
predecessors had done in one hundred
years.
The circumstance that 524 of his 697
vetoes were aimed at the veterans goes
to show that the lack of patriotism
which led him to hire substitute rath-
er than fight for his country is still a
characteristic of the man, and that
having refused to expose himself to the
perils of war he looks with contempt

greater than in 1890; the rates for

ployment has been constant from the

Kinley act. If he will go to Glovers-
vile he will never repeat that cheap
campaign fiction; nor will any of the
low tariff advocates, after an exhaus-
tive investigation of wages in the glove
trade, follow Senator Carlisle in his
argument that while wages have in
creased in two years in all the unpro-
tected industries of the country they
have fallen in protected industries.
The glove industry as a whole offers
conspicuous illustration of the opera
tion of the Mckinley act in all essential
respects. Wages have been increased,
prices have been reduced, foreign impor-
tations have been displaced, work has
been given to Americans in preference
to Europeans, higher grades of manu-
facture have been introduced, and
great impulse has been impaired to an
industry eminently adapted for farm
ing community Y. Tribune.

MR.. BLAINE'S OPINION

As to the Power OF the Government In
the Adoption of Measures to Prevent
the Introduction and Spread of Con-
tagion.
New YORK, Sept. ga special to the
Times from Bangor, Me-, says that Mr..
Blaine has recently expressed to
friend his views of the clear duty of the
government in the matter of the cholera
danger. In substance, it is to close
traffic between the old countries and
the United States to everybody and
everything, save the mails and citizens
of this country now abroad, and to
admit these only after proper precau-
tons His ideas are that no
commercial interests are to be compared
for a moment with safety of life. He
wants discontinuance of all foreign
railroad traffic across the states. Then
he would have the border pcliced to
perfection, a rigid examination in all
cities and towns of fruit, and he be-
lieves that President Harrison has the
power to so order by proclamation, and
that there are no treaty rights 70 pre-

Democratic Predictions Which Have

Failed of Fulfillment.
Another striking tariff study is Of

ter of the American glove trade. We
ask democratic tariff agitators to take
up this case, to sift the evidence and to
let US know in what respect the Nc
Kinley tariff act has operated badly
Let us first remind them of their sinis-
ter predictions when the duties on
gloves were increased two years ago.
They assumed that the manufacturers
would form trust and advance the
price of their goods; that few rich
men would make millions out of the
increased tariff rates, and that not one
operative employed in the factories
would have his wages raised, and that
the poor consumer would be taxed
whenever he bought pair of gloves.
Not one of these forecasts has been
justified after the act has been in opera
tion for two years.
No trust has been formed for regulat-
ing the price of gloves. There is un-
restricted competition among the man
ufacturers. The increased duties have
displaced large portion of the impor.
tation, have greatly expanded the vol.
ume of domestic manufacture, and
have enabled American glovemalxers tc
compete with foreigners in nearly al
lines of gloves. The operatives in the
factories and the farmers families who
furnish gloves in their own homes have
a fair share in the benefits of the in
creased duties Their earnings are

DANIEL DOUGHERTY,


Philadelphia's silver-Tongued Orator.
Passes Away After an Illness of Several
Months Duration.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. G. = Daniel
Dougherty, the silver-tongued orator,
died at his residence in this city shortly
after 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Dougherty's death was due to
nervous prostration, which affected his
brain. He has been ill for several
months past, but was recently thought
to be recovering by the attending ply
sician. A change for the worse came
Sunday night and he sank steadily un-
til death resulted. Only the immediate
members of the family were present,
including his son, d. Webster Dough-
erty.
Daniel Dougherty was born in Phila-
delphia, December II, 1926. While
child his mother died and his father
married again. 1t was then that young
Daniel left home and began his strug-
gle. His early life was series of bat
ties for existence. In his 18th year he
made his real start in life by entering
the law offices of William and Samuel
| Badger. Two years afterward he be-
came prominent as democratic
speechmaher, and in 1910 be was adj
mitted to the bar. In 1859 he was the
acknowledged leader Of the Douglas
party in this city. In the presidential
election that placed Lincoln in the
White house for the first term, the
Douglas party in Philadelphia polled
nearly 5000 votes, which was due
largely to Mr.. Dougherty's earnest
| efforts
