Gone To Seeds Written for tho Republic. The Republican party, Once hale and hearty. Is now seedy clown; It's glory and cast, Are things of the past.
 And so are its men of renown. Its Lincolns and Grants Wear much shorter pants. Its issues are drivel and slop; Its statesman likewise Have gone to the skies.
 While robbers Are running the shop Q degenerate clan, You have not man,
 Of virtue and honor and sense Who indorses your creed Or excuses your greed.
 Much less your Protection defence. Talk Protection to fools Where no public schools
 Have enabled the voter to read; They nov know the fake, And will not mistake
 In sending this humbug to seed. Grandpa's old hat. A slick little rss.
 X pair of old shoes of Blaine, With Book Agent Carter Acting as starter,

The fact that he suffered from heart trouble, and showed great excitement and was overcome at the official notitica ton of his appointment to the distin- guished position of music director of the worlds fair. leads us to the conclusion that his greatest honor saperinduced his death. He had gained the top rung of the ladder of his profession.

Hundreds of voters overlooked it who favor it. There can be no serious objection to II except by the tax dodger. as it simply means that In order to vote one must pay his poll tax.

tive to the effects of 'protecuon' on
labor and wages in New York, may
Justly be taken as fairly representative
of the conditions throughout the whole
country"
Some Of the democratic newspapers
are endeavorinG to break the force Of
this report by the silly pretense that it
was conceived in hostility to Mr. Cleve-
land, and was instigated by Senator
Hill in his desire to injure his success
full rival. 1t is sufficient answer to
this pretense that in the first place
there is no evidence that Senator
Hill does not propose to support
Mr.. Cleveland's candidacy, while in
the second place the conclusions arrived
at are based upon official data and are
therefore unimpeachable. Besides, the
accuracy of the report is confirmed
from another official source, also demo-
cratic, and equally trustworthy. The
report of the superintendent of the
state banking department, which was
given to the public cotemporaneously
with that of the labor bureau, shows
that the increase of deposits in the saw
ings banks Of the state during the last
six months amounted to $40, 417,S $40,
while the gain since January /, 1889,
amounted to $50, $50, 516. That is to say,
the workingmen of New York have
been able during six months of the
operation Of the Mckinley tariff act to
increase their savings in the enormous
sum of over ten millions of dollars. 1t
is significant that this prosperity is es-
pccially exhibited in the savings banks
of the manufacturing cities of the
state. If it were true, as is claimed by
Huntsville gazette., 1892-10-01

Immediately prior to the enactment of
the Mckinley law and the year imme-
diately following its going into opera
ton. The statistics upon which his
conclusions are based were supplied by
over six thousand representative and
leading business firms of the state.
The facts show that there was a net
increase in wages of SO, 3T7, 1926 in the
year 1891 as compared with 1890, and a
net increase of production of S31, 3l5,-
1870 in the same period. An analysis of
this table further demonstrates that of
the sixty-seven industries covered,
IS per cent. show an increase
either of wages or product, or both,
s'and there were no less than &c. in
stances of individual increase of wages
during the same year" (1S9D. Speak
ing of another table the commissioner
says: "Of the sixty-eighty industries
included, rs per cent. of them show an
increased average yearly earnings in
the year 1891. while the total average
increase Of yearly earnings of the 1885,
600 employees was S23.11." He adds
s.The average increase of yearly earn
ings of the employees in the fifty-one
trades was s4s. 96 in 1891 as compared
with 1S9O."
The significance of these facts can
not be overrated They rest upon evi-
dence which is indisputable. They con-
stitute a knock-down blow for the
democratic free traders. They cannot
be answered. They show that the Nc
Kinley tariff has given new impulse to
the manufacturing interests of the
country, and has been OF practical adj
vantage to both business men and wage
earners. It is true that these facts re-
late alone to the state of New York,
but they are in the largest sense repre-
sentative. For, as Mr.. Peck remarked
in his report: mo state in the union
offers field so varied or extensive
within which the statistican can carry
on his work with greater assurance of
intelligent success than is presented by
the state of New York Within its
borders are to be found by far the
greatest number of manufacturing es-
tablishments, the most varied indus
tries, and the largest number of in
dividual employers and wage earners
of any of the forty-four commonwealths
embraced in the United States So
that whatever the statistical data coli
lected and tabulated may prove, resa-

the democracy, that the protective pol
icy has tended to the depression of in
dustry, it is certainly amazing that
such an enormous gain in savings
should be exhibited. The figures 60 to
show conclusively that the Mckinley
act has given profitable occupation to
the operatives employed in our great
manufacturing industries.
1t is to be expected, Of course, that
our democratic friends will persist in
their declarations that free trade Is the
only wise policy, and that the interests
of our working people are bound up in
the overthrow of the existing protec-
tive system. They have committed
themselves by their candidate and plat
form to definite economic theory, and
they mean to insist upon it, no matter
how absolutely the facts of the case
may be against them. But they will
not be able to deceive the American
people by their juggling with figures
and their loud-mouthed assertion of an
indefensible theory.-Frank Leslie's

A kNOCK-DOWN BLOW.
Democratic Dismay Mt Commissioners
Peck's Report.


1t is not surprising that the demo-
cratic newspapers have been filed
with CONSERVATION by the recent re-
port Of the labor commissioner of New
York. These newspapers have in
sisted that the Mckinley tariff act has
not contributed to the promotion of the
public prosperity; that it has not in
creased the wages of workingmen. and
that it has not enlarged and enriched
the markets of the country. They
have maintained, on the contrary, that
it is responsible for the depression of
industry, leading to lockouts and
strikes. and that It's whole influence
has been prejudicial to the best in
terests of our people. The report of
lutely disproves all of these statements.
Mr.. Peck, who is democrat, entered
upon his inquiry into the operations of
the present tariff in the belief shat the
result would vindicate the democratic
tariff position. He expected to be able
to furnish his party campaign docu-
| ment of infinite value. The result has
shown to him, however, that he was
totally in error as to the effects of the
| Mckinley legislation. His statistics
| conclusively establish the accuracy of
the republican insistment, and dem
onstrate that the protective policy is
in all its operations salutary and bene-
