its policy detrimental to the country.
sugar is two cents a pound cheaper now
than two years ago. Why? There is no
more of it made, but two years ago the
tax OF two cents a pound was taken Off
and sugar went down that amount in
price. This demonstrates that when YOU
take the tax of an article the price goes
down.
THE merchant takes wheat to Liver
pool and there sells it at seventy cents,

The Democrats are not advocating free
trade. 1t is a question OF a reasonable,

the farmers wool, and say that will make

NEW YORK CITY'S VOTE.
New YORK, Oct. 24-The HeraIdpu
fishes calculations on the city's vote,
based on two days registration. 1t says:
There have now been registered in round
| numbers 203,000 voters. This tremendous
| registration i'll two days foreshadows
| total of 320, 900 or 330,0 for the two more
| days, and it would be against all prece-
dent If fewer than $4,000 registered each
day. Some enthusiast would put the total
| as high as 100000 About s per cent. of
the voters who register do not go to the
polls. If we take eight we may still be
very sure the total vote of New York
City would be more than 100000. 1t may
go up to $4,000. Up to this point ii is a
matter of cold mathematics, and both
sides have to agree. But here they split
as To division Of the vote. The Kepub-
licans say they Will poll at least one hum
dred and twenty thousand. If we take
total vote of only 30000J and that seems
to be the lowest possible tigure), 1SO, 900
Wouldebe left to be divided among ali the
other tickets. Not more than 5000 will
be polled by the Prohibitionists, the Peo-
pies party and the Socialists, the Woman
| Sutfraglsts and all the rest. Therefore
the Democratic majority in New York
City will be 55,U00. Democratic prophets
Will not admit the vote to be less than
$4,000. They say the Republicans cannot
have more than 10000. That would leave
100000 for all the tickets, of which 205, 900
would be for the Democrats, or plural
ity of $1,000.
AMHERST COLLEGE FREE TRADERS.
AMHERST (Mass.), Oct. 24.-Of the
thirty-three members of the Amherst
College Faculty, twenty-three have come
out for Grover Cleveland. Eighteen have
signed the following: with Cleveland's
views on public questions we agree.
We admire his courage. his constancy. his
public spirit, and his studious neglect of
his merely personal interests where they
conflict with the calls of public duty.
We remember his tariff message, his
pension vetoes, and his letter against free
silver as conspicuous instances of his
disregarding personal considerations for
the public good. We, therefore, urge all
our fellow-ciuzens to give Cleveland
their hearty support"
