Discussion concerning the method of
choosing Presidential electors is ircreas-
ing. An entirely new proposition has
been made, which will receive consid-
cradle attention. This plan is not to
elect the electors by Congressional dis
tricts, but to apportion them in the
ratios of the votes for the respective
parties. In other words, to divide a
states electors in proportion as each
party's vote was to the total vote of the
state. This method would do away
with the tricks of the gerrymandered
Congressional districts and would prac-
tically he a direct vote by the people.
No state under that plan, could hope
to go solidly for either candidate.

Non-AMERlcAN ALL THROUGH.

By Seer "ary Tracy.
The demodratie party has, in the
most emphatic terms, declared expressly
that the interests Of American labor are
to be set aside and rejected in the Gen.
sideration Of the tariff; that American
industries must not be protected and
that the tariff must hereafter be adjust
ed ON the basis Of revenue alone. It
has pushed the speculative theory Of the
free trader to it's farthest limit, and it
has declared in its manifesto that it
now proposes to enter upon war to the
death against American industries and
American labor.
There 10 no installing this issue. In
the rejected resolution Of their platform
it was stated, and truly, ''that many IN
dustries hrve come to rely upon leglsaa-
ton for successful continuance, 90 that
any changes OF Law must be at every
step regardful of the labor and capital
involved" and that ''the process Of 10
form must be subject to the execution
Of this plain dictate Of justice" Snch
was the resolution which the Chicago
convention rejected by vote OF 81 to
80. By this overwhelming majority
they made to the country solemn an
nounoement that the prices OF their re-
form, whatever it might be, should moi
be subjected to the execution q thu
plain dictate OF justice.

successful in the treatment Of Con-

every variety of climate. In the

in the hot, moist South-every-

every nationality. It has been en-

cspt IN the case Of some Of tho hiehsss-
priced, which arc worn BY men Who
think It 10 the correct thing to wear ar
ticaes Of English make only, and who
would not wear an American hat under
any circumstances, the fore,gn-made
hats have disappeared from the Ameri-
can market As consequence OF this.
the factories in Newark and Orange are
busy now, while this Is usually Q duh
season. and wages are at good figure.
One Of the leading hat manufacturers
Of Newark said: ..f the Mckinley act
had not been passed. many of the hat
factories in Newark and vicinity would
have been compelled to close their doors,
as trade was continually drifting away
from this country on account of the
cheapness of labor abroad. Why, it was
q common thing TO. jobbers from Chi
cago and other western cities to pass
right through Newark and New York.
take steamer across the ocean, place
their orders in hat factories in England
and Belgium, whore, owing to the
cheapness of labor, their hats could be
made much lower than they could in
this country, bring their hats back with
them, and ship them across the conti-
nent to hheir destination. To-day all
this is stopped, and yet hats are made
cheaper than ever before in this
country.
"Why, the Mckinley act has been q
benefit in every way. Several large fur
cutting establishments have been estab-
lished here in consequence of it. Hat
bands and trimmings are now being
made here to large extent, but it is
very hard to compete with the foreign
makers in these articles for the reason
that wages arc so low across the water.
In Belgium q girl viii work all day on
hat bands and get IL cents; in France
girl will not earn moro than 18a cents q
day weaving fine ribbon. In this coun-
try such operators earn 50 and SO
week. Free trade is the great humbug
of the age. II We had free trade, or even
Q great reduction in the tariff, it would
pay us to abandon our factories here,
go over to England or Belgium, make
up our hats there, and bring them over
here and sell them"
