Because every country which wants
TO grow rich at our expense is hoping
and almost praying that you will vote
against him. A great rule of success Is
not to do what your enemy wants you
to do. Why are all the manufacturing
barons of Europe for Grover Cleveland?
Because they are In love with Democ-
cracy? Those men hate Democracy,
and the ambition Of every one Of them
in England is to become lord, an earl
a duke or some other brand Of aristocrat.
They are for Cleveland because they
feel his policy will have the effect of
making them richer and richer. To
compete with them successfully the
American manufacturer must reduce
wages or go out Of business. Vote to
keep Harrison in the White House and
Cleveland at Buzzard's Bay.--New York
Recorder

half less, butter one-sixth less, and
every article Of daily consumption was
cheaper in substantial proportion.
These are Wholesale figures, but the
Grocer adds: while prices have thus
been generally ana largely declining,
competition, unfortunately for distri-
butors, has been increasing. and it has
been almost impossible for dealers to
get the same amount of money for dis
tributing pound. or a gallon, or a
package Of goods. The only way in
which they can keep their income from
diminishing is by handling an increased
quantity Of goods" Retail prices have
gone down quite as fast as Wholesale
figures, and wages have gone up stead
lily. The average family has more
moSey and can buy more with 1t. The
family, il not the Tribune, Is satisfied.

LABOR DAY.

BY enactment in many of the States
of the Union the first Monday of Sep
tember is recognized as legal holiday
under the title of Labor Day and is cell
ebrated more or less generally by wage
workers and those who are united with
them in bonds of sympathy or interest.
In New York city, Boston and many
smaller places in our neighboring States,
ppades of workingmen are rendering
the day one notable in appearance and
i'm fact.
II is the object of Labor Day, from
the view point of those who take part
in its exercises, 10 show the peaceful
strength of labor and particularly OF
labor organizations. These guilds OF
workingmen have in dll the skilled in
dustries been feature of human life
for many centuries. They were promi-
nent in the Middle ages and were an
important lever by which thinking men
pried the world out of i-barbarism.
The guilds Of the Flemish and Dutch
workmen in the times of Alva were OF
infinite use in working out the. political
salvation of the Northern Netherlands
and the commercial supremacy of Great
Britain to-day rests largely upon the
active work done by its unions. Those
of to-day are vastly larger and more
powerful than any in history. They
are capable of performing-they usually
do perform-the most useful OF services
in promoting the welfare of the trades.
There is no reason why labor organizers
should not feel themselves still almost
at the beginning of the Deneficent work
of trade combinations.

"coNFEpERATE AND BRITISH"


The Un-Amcrican Platform Of the Ma
ttonal Democracy.
There have been reproaches uttered Of
those who have said the Democratic
platform as it stands is in origin both
Confederate and British.
It is Confederate in its precise Ian
guage. The Confederate constitution
says, Congress shall have power to lay
duties for revenue
only" and adds that there shall be ''no
duties or taxes on importations
to promote or foster any branch Of in
dustry." The Chicago platform saysit is
fundamental that our government "has
no constitutional power to impose or coll
lect tariff duties except for revenue
only" The origin of the "for revenue
only" is unmistakable, and the Demo-
Gratis In Chicago assembled, and speak
ing of constitutional power" must have
had in mind the Confederate and not
the national constitution. The Confed-
crate constitution, ii should not be for
gotten, was made when the Confeder-
ates were looking TO Great Britain to
aid them in gaining their independence.
The multiplying ordinance Of South
Carolina in 1882 declared that the con-
gress OF the United States had by various
acts, among them laying duties "really
intended for the protection of domestic
manufactures" exceeded its just power
under the constitution" As this was
absurd, when the secessionists thought
they had dissolved the Union they made
a constitution to suit themselves, pro-
hibited protection, proclaimed "for rev.
enue only" as the leading principle, and
fondly anticipated that this concession
to tho free traders of England would
procure the cooperation Of Great Brit
ain in the establishment Of Confed-
eracy the corner stone of which was
slavery. 1t Is difficult for this genera
ton to understand how far the southern
politicians were during the war Of the
states prepared TO go TO get the good
will and cooperation of England. The
Confederate states did not propose form.
ally to return TO the colonial condi.
ton, but they were certainly ready TO
yield to England in return for her recog
:iition and aid all the commercial adj
vantages that the British empire lost
when tho Declaration of Independence
was vindicated by military force and
the United States of America was form
ed. The midnight platform at Chicago
relegates us by way Of the Confederacy
20 a colonial situation so far as trade Is
concerned. : Murat Halstead in New
York Herald.

Secretary Charles Foster is confident

Halle, however, received only 766 less

voted for Russell voted for Halle for
lieutenant governor, and if he is nomi-
mated will vote for him this year for
governor. There is no danger OF an ex-
odus from the Republican ranks, but
Republican papers should give their

ENGLISH POLITICAL PURITY.

Americans are frequently reminded
that they are politically the most cor
rupt of any great nation. England, it
Is often asserted, is substantially free
from the corruption which is charged
against Americans.
We may profitaSly study the late
English elections for complete refuta-
tion of such allegations. It is certain
that there has been no election in this
country in recent years so corrupt as
was the late English election, both with
reference to direct bribery and the use
of indirect but powerful agencies for
the purpose of suppressing liberal votes
and adding to the conservative totals.
The keynote was struck when Lord
Salisbury determined to dissolve the
late Parliament so that none of the
London boroughs could hold elections
on Saturday, confessedly the only day
upon which the workingmcn could vote.
This piece of dagrant political dishon-
esty was taken as q warrant for the
practice of all kinds of trickery and COR
ruption to keep the Liberals out of the
fruits Of the great tendency of public
opinion in their favor.
Though the Liberals have not been
very swift to resent this practice of
corrupt tactics against them, it is now
made evident that they do not intend
to pass it unnoticed. They have petit
toned for the examination of nine con-
stituencies, and the chances are that
some very interesting facts will be de-
veloped at the hearings.
An election contest in England is
quite different affair from the same
process in this country. The petition
ing party there is obliged to make
heavy deposit to cover expenses and the
examination is made by the courts aud
is essentially ajudicial proceeding.
1t is not unlikely that these inquiries
will furnish the parties who are fond of
extolling English political purity some
food for profitable and patriotic reflec-
tion and basis for the revision of their
estimate Of comparative political ethics.

FOOD PRICES FOR THIRTY YEARS.

FOOD PRICES FOR THIRTY YEARS.
Our friends of the Pawtucket Tribune
We're unkind enough to make some
pointed remarks few days ago about
alleged delinquencies on the part Of the
NEWS in claiming that the tariff was
benefit to the country and in order to
set forth the misdeeds of the News in
the light in which they deserved to stand
the Tribune hazarded the prediction
that this paper would not dare to com
pare the cost Of living to-day with that
of thirty years ago.
The NEWS, whatever its other faults,
is not afflicted with cowardice, and
apropos of its neighbor's quasi-challenge
there comes to hand a table of the prices
of food products since 1852 compiled by
the american Grocer and covering very
handily the period which seems especial
ly to interest the Tribune. These fig
ures the Grocer says, "have been care
fully compiled from our own records of
twenty years past and for the preceding
ten years from other reliable data" AS
the table is arranged, it shows the guam
tity of various articles required as
equivalent of 500, at different periods
for the past thirty years, based on
wholesale prices, grade considered. Con-
trary to what reader Of the Tribune
might suppose, a general and steady de-
cline in price will be noticed
