The solid south for w,ldoa. money.

Southern Democratic papers like the
Atlanta Constitution say that they want
the ten per cent. tax on the notes of
State banks repealed, so that such notes
may be issued and serve as "local cur.
rency." Northern Democratic papers
are coming forward nervously and ex-
planning that If the tax were repealed
State bank notes would not go into cir
culation. One organ says 'that it would
not be possible for State banks to issue
notes that would be received as money
by the people," Another organ says the
average voter knows that such cur.
rency can not be made legal tender and
he can not be compelled to take dollar
of 1t unless he wants it,"
If, as these two papers think, such
notes would not go into circulation,
why take the risk and go to the trouble
OF repeating the tax? Why give the
matter SO much Importance as to advo-
cate it in a National platform? Why
did Cleveland intimate in his letter of
acceptance that State bank paper might
form part of the currency? The Su-
preme court has decided that the law
imposing the tax was constitutional.
Therefore, it need not be repealed for con-
situtional reasons. Consequently why
not let it remain on the statute books 2
They admit it does no harm.
Because the Southern papers are bet
ter informed and more honest than the
Northern Democratic sheets. They
know that whatever Ohio might do in
regard to authorizing wildcat issues the
Southern States would go into wildcat
ing with a rush and food this Nation
with their seats" and "dogs." The
Northern Democratic organs know it
also, but they are too much under
Southern domination to tell the truth,
and they are too anxious on account of
their Office seekers. If they really be-
lieved that the repeal of the State bank
tax would not put State bank notes in
circulation they should insist OIL the law
remaining as it is, because its repeal
could answer no good or useful purpose,
but would create great uneasiness in
financial circles, and would be con-
stant temptation to spectators to go
into the old business of flooding the
country with estate sovereignty" wild
cat money" The safe and proper
thing to dois to defeat the fat prophet" :"
who has already indorsed the reissue of
State bank issues in his letter of accept
ance. If the Democrats regain power
with both houses of Congress they are
absolutely certain to repeal the ten per
cent. tax on wildcat issues, because the
"Solid South" wants it done, and that
section controls the Northern Democrats
as man controls his dog.

England's Loss, Americas Gain.
In 1850 there were about 10000 looms
in active operation in the Macclesfield
silk weaving distrist of England.
In 1890, according to George 8. Fields,
an expert English silk weaver, who has
come to this country to find employment
in the American silk industry built up
under protection, there were only 1000
looms at work in the Macclesfield dis
trict.
This is what free trade has done for
what was once great English industry.

The Blame for the Homestead Trouble.
At a recent meeting of the Loyal Labor
League of Columbus, the tariff was the
subject for discussion AS might be ex-
pected the Homestead trouble came up,
and few of the members were inclined at
first to argue that Homestead furnished an
example of the failure of protection to pro-
tect the wage-worker. This view was con-
troverted by the facts brought forward by
a number of levelheaded members in brief
speeches. and the blame for the Homestead
trouble was placed where it properly be-
longs. All the speakers cepsured Manager
Frick for his refusal to recognize the
Amalgamated Association of Iron and
Steel Workers of America, and Robert
Pinkerton was, as usual, denounced for
sending his detectives to Homestead while
Governor Pattison was not forgotten for
the part he played in ordering out the State
troops to overawe the locked-out workmen.
The following resolutions were then in
troduced and unanimously adopted:
RESOLVED, That in the conduct of H.
c. Frick, Robert Pinkerton and Governor
Pattison, all of whom are Democrats, we
recognize strict conformity to the Demo
cratic doctrine of free trade, and freedom
to employ cheap labor, Of which Jefferson
Davis was once shining exponent, and of
which Grover Cleveland is now ''the stuffed
prophet" and we declare the result sought
to be attained by the latter is the enslave-
ment of the wage-workers of our country,
just as the purpose of the former was to
keep 3,OO0,0O0 black men in bondage.
RESOLVED, That the Democratic party is
the hereditary enemy of labor both black
and white, and we pledge ourselves to exert
our influence to secure its defeat until such
times as it shall prove by its public declar-
ations, and the acts Of its officials, that it
is the friend of free American labor.

A Word to yVorkingmen.

The Democratic platform denounces
Republican protection as fraud, de-
clares the Republican tariff which
protects you from European competition
unconstitutional, and demands tariff
for revenue only.
Without protection, goods used here
will of course be made where wages are
lowest-that is, in Europe-or if made
here, wages will have to be reduced to
match those abroad. If you are in favor
of this, vote the Democratic ticket.
If you favor protection to homo in
dustries and American wages, vote the
Republican ticket.
The tariff question is simply ques,
ton of wages and bread. If you want
more wages, you will as sensible man
vote for protection and the Republican
ticket; if you prefer fewer comforts and
less wages, you will go for free trade and
vote the Democratic ticket. There is no
middle ground.

Here are sample passages from two of
the 524 pension vetoes of Grover Cleveland
"The ingenuity developedin the constant
and persistent attacks upon the public
treasury by those claiming pensions, and
the increase of those already granted, is
exhibited in bold relief by the attempt to
include sore eyes among the results OF
diarrhoea"
Again in the vetoed claim of A. j. Will
son, he said: Whatever else may be said
of this claimants achievements during his
short military career it must be conceded
that he accumulated a great deal of dis
ability" -7'.
Republicans everywhere should ''touch
elbows" and close the lines in solid
front Whether the National House is
rescued (Which now seems probable) or
not, the Presidency and the United
States Senate should be held by the Re
publican party. Any other result will
certainly be followed by widespread
disaster to American industries and the
greatest distress to all classes of people.
Business men should remember that n
vote for Cleveland means vote to
change the general business system OF
the country, and will certainly result in
great business uncertainties and irregu-
larities for the next four years. Demo-
cratic success means Democratic control
of Senate, House and Presidency, ana
full reign Of the free trade and wildcat
money beresies.

His Repeated Insults to Union Soldiers.
The time taken from pressing public
business, which Grover Cleveland spent as
President Of the United States IN writing
his 54 pension vetoes, cost the country
more money than it would have been COM
PEELED to pay had he signed each vetoed bill
and allowed the pensioner to receive the
poor pittance Congress gave. Nor Is this
end of the record, for it proves that in his
vetoes, Grover Cleveland insulted and
slurred, not only veteran soldiers who had
suffered grievously for the cause, but the
widows of such as were dead He signed
bill giving pensions to soldiers of the Mex
lean war who had served thirty days,
whether disabled, dependent, or not, even
though they had been guilty of treas on IN
trying to destroy the Union, probabl y be-
cause he knew that most of the people to
be benefited would be rebels. Twelve d avs
afterwards he vetoed bill giving relief to
the soldiers of the Union army, which bill
was asked for by the National G. A. r.
Pension Committee, and unanimously ap-
proved by the House Committee on Pen
sions, consisting of nine Democrats and six
Republicans, who in scathing report
unanimously recommended the passage of
the bill over the veto. In other words, the
record shows that Grover Cleveland was
willing to sign bill to relieve rebels and
was unwilling to sign one which would re-
ieve worthy and distressed Union soldiers
and sailors who fought to save the cause.
This is the man who now asks the suffr ages
of Union soldiers, very many of whom will
not live to vote for another President
How can any soldier mar his good record
by such an unpatriotic act? If comrade
like General Harrison is not to have their
support and receive their votes in prefer
ence to Copperhead like Cleveland, then
indeed patriotism is = myth and valor

The Memphis Appeal in giving its rea-
sons why Southern farmers should not vote
for Harrison and Reid recently said:
Because he has favored the pension
legislation which has so increased the pen
sion expenditures that 1t drains $40, ,000,0
annually from the Southern people. The
drain of s4O, ,OOO,0 900 is exhausting the ener-
gies of the South, and, in connection with
the tariff taxes, has reduced the Southern
farmer to condition of actual want. The

further looting Of the treasury. A service

less the people drive off the looters.n

The soldier for whose services the PEN

been in the Union army and the claim
had withstood the minutest scrutiny of

The grounds alleged in every instance
