Rock Island daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1886-1893, 1892-07-09

All first class toilet waters, with the ex
ception Of bay rum, are nothing more nor
less than perfumed corn spirits, which
have received Il medicinal quality by the
introduction of balsamic or tonic proper

The Argus declares that it is not for
trade. What the Argus is for is of no
great consequence; it is what the Demo
cratic party of Maine, and especially of
Cumberland county and Portland is for
that is the interesting and important
question A party must be judged
largely by the declarations and acts of the
men who are it's leaders. There is no
other way of judging it before
it goes to the polls. Now judged
by the declarations of these men the
Democratic party of Portland is in favor
of making the rumshops of this town
practically free. Be sure and nominate
man for sheriff, says one of their lead
ers, who believes in the Ubiquitous folly
of the prohibitory law. And the party
goes ahead and selects the very man above
all others whom this leader would have
chosen if the choice had been delegated
to him. On another occasion this same
leader declares the intention of the
Democratic party to be to rescue Cum
berland county from the doctrinaires
and cranKs who are doing their best to
make grass grow in the streets of Port
land, - meaning by the said doctrinaires
and cranks men who believe in the
prohibition of the liquor traffic, and the
way he is going to accomplish this
rescue is openly avowed in his subse-
quent speech to be by electing
man TO the sheriff's office, which is
specially charged with the enforcement of
the prohibitory law, a man who believes
that that law is iniquitous folly. How can
this rescue from the cranks and doc
trinairs be accomplished through the
sheriff's office? The sheriff cannot re-
peal the law, he cannot modify it in the
least. The only way he can possibly
accomplish this rescue is by neglecting
to enforce the law, and the inevitable
result of reinforcement is free rum.
Therefore we say that when the Demo
cracy of Portland aid and abet with their
votes the nomination of man for sheriff
because he can be depended upon to
ignore the prohibitory law they commit
themselves to the open and unrestricted
sale of liquor. The Portland Democracy
has done this.

The imports of foreign grown raisins
fell off from 30,361, 50l pounds, valued at
$2,00S,247 for the ten months ending
April 80, of last year, to 20, 2o7, 121 pounds
valued at 1898, 203 during the correspond
ing period of the present fiscal year.
This enormous decrease of nearly 20 ,00O,-
600 pounds and over 100000 is due
solely and exclusively to the Mckinley
tariff which imposed a duty of 1.-TWO and
one-half cents per pound or 81 per cent.

Mills bill would have let than in at an
even lower rate than the tariff of 1888.
The result is that the California raisin
has almost supplanted the Mediterranean
fruit, that the California vineyardists are
receiving a much higher price for the

play very important part in the result,
it being scarcely possible that the election
should turn upon the loss of two or three
electors in this state by the Republicans
or their gain by the Democrats. OF
course the purpose of the Democratic
legislature that made the change was to
improve the Democratic chance of carry
ing the country, and that was their only
purpose, and though the change is de-
clared legal it's manifestly unfair in
view of the fact that all the other states
adhere to the plan of choosing electors
by states.

The decision of the Supreme Court
sustaining the law passed by the last

makes it practically certain that Michi-

While undoubtedly a large majority of
the delegates to Chicago preferred Cleve-
land some Of his strength was due to the
coercion of the unit rule, by which all
the delegates from state are compelled
to vote as tho majority dictates, in spite
of their personal preferences. At the
Republican convention in 1880 the sup
porters of Gen. Grant ATTEMPTED to estab-
lish and enforce this rule, and had they
succeeded undoubtedly Grant would
have been the candidate. The rule tends
to restrict f:ccdoin of choice and is I'M

the bravery of our workmen who earn
