Why Cleveland Is Popular

Among the last editorial utterances of
the late George William Curtis was the
following tribute to Grover Cleveland:
No man after his retirement from the
presidency ever rose more steadily in
public esteem and popularity. His
course has been simple and dignifed
Without presumption, as private citi
zen his conduct has been modest and
quiet, and as a speaker upon public oc-
casions, even when of party char
acter, his tone has been that of a patriot
rather than a partisan, and he has justly
felt that, although identified with q
party, the propriety of his position de-
manded of him something more than
mere partisanship.
He has certain rugged honesty and
plainness of character and speech which
give him popularity not shared by any
other public man. The Republican pa
pers ridicule his friends as idolaters.
But the feeling at which they sheer is
produced by a frank integrity which
justifes and invites entire confidence
He seems to us to enter upon the cam
paign with greater personal popularity
and with a much wider public knowl-
edge and approval of the issues that he
represents than ever before.

Republican Cant About Wages.

Hon. Mark D. Wilbur, of Brooklyn,
who has recently been speaking at Mid
dletown, N. Y, tells of the following
case to show the insincerity of the Re
publican talk about wages: "Four years
ago in Middletown the saw factory was
run under the control of high protec-
tionists, who were paying their men in
envelopes which contained an indirect
threat that unless the men voted for pro-
lection they must seek protection in
some other establishment; that if Cleve-
land was elected wages would be cut
and many discharged. In thirty days
after Harrison's election their wages
were cut. The same thing happened in
hat factory in Middletown, and many
Of their skilled workmen were compelled
to leave. That il itself has been suffi-
Gent argument to guide them as to their
future actions"

The Milwaukee Sentinel boastingly
states that republican meetings, this
year, draw immense throngs of people;
and the fact is dwelt upon as EVIL
dence that the republicans are going
to carry Wisconsin at the elections in
November. But it was Just the same
way in 1890; and every Bennett law
republican knows what followed.
Spooner and LaFollette were every
where greeted by large audiences.
Wlgwams were built for them out of
protected lumber $500 per thousand
feet, and crowds poured in, and with
their own ears heard these doughty
champions of protection affirm that
the tariff is not tax" and that
foreigners pay it, and that there is
no such thing as raw material" The
people heard them defend the ex-
treasurers of Wisconsin who had ap-
proprlated to their own uses the inter
est on public funds. They heard them
Sehemently declare that the state, and
not parents, should control the educa-
ton of the children. They heard
these speakers boastingly claim that
the republicans were going to utterly
destroy the democracy just as it is
now declared that the hosts of protec-
ton are going to sweep everything
before them And these boastings
continued up TO the very evening of
election day. Because people were
respectful enough to go and listen to
their speakers, republican politicians
imagined that increased numbers
would vote the republican ticket. But
the very reverse of this proved to be
true. The people heard, but believed
not the nonsense which they had
heard. Some of the republicans could
not understand it; others were con-
founded at it. They had misjudged the
temper and judgment of the Amer
lean people. 1t is indeed encour-
aging to democrats to know that the
masses of the people are listening to,
and sizing up the stories of republican
speakers. Democrats are willing to
trust to the verdict of the people in
the matter. The campaign of educa.
ton is progressing admirably; and the
more people who attend republican
meetings, the more votes will be cast
in opposition to the republican party

Specimen Cases.

S. H.Clifford, New Cassel, Wis, was
troubled with Neuralgia and Rheuma-
tism, his stomach was disordered, his
Liver was affected to an alarming
degree, appetite fell away, and he was
terribly reduced in flesh and strength.
Three bottles of Electric Ritters cured
him.
Edward Shepherd, Harrisburg, Ill,
had a running sore on his leg of
eight years standing. Used three
bottles of Electric Bitters, and seven
boxes of Bucklen's Arnica Salve, and
his leg is sound and well. John
Speaker, CataWba, O., had five large
Fever sores on his leg; doctors said
he was incurable. One bottle Electric
Bitters and one box Bucklen's Arnica
Salve cured him entirely. Sold by w.

Protection Logic.

Major Mckinley, with that complete
frankness and boldness for which he has
always been distinguished, declares that
high protection has cheapened every
thing but labor. 1t has advanced the
price of labor, but cheapened all the
products of labor. Then why not repeal
the Mckinley bill? The laboring peo-
pie, the only benefciaries, by their votes
in 1890 showed an entire willingness to
dispense with the advantages of the Nc
Kinley bill, and it's continuance, accord
ing to Major Mckinley, will ruin the
manufacturers. For if the expense of
producing goods is increased in the in
creased cost Of labor, and the selling
price of the goods is at the same time
decreased, bankruptcy must follow.
One cannot fail to be impressed with
the disinterestedness of the American
people. Here are the manufacturers,
whose profits, according to Major Nc
Kinley, are greatly reduced by the Nc
Kinley bill, insisting on retaining it for
the benefit of labor, and the men who
are reaping rich harvest from it in
higher wages, according to Major Nc
Kinley, willing to forego their advan-
tage.-Baltimore Sun.

The Democratic State Central Com
mittee has sent out blanks to each
county chairman with orders to go
through the country and make the
Democrats sign a pledge to vote only
for democrats in this state. The
scheme signally failed, the voters re-
fuslng to endorse secret society cam

The above is pure unauthorized
lie-not the worst kind of lie, per-
haps, because half told truth is said
to be the worst kind of a lie; and this
contribution to the fund of campaign
falsehood has not the remotest con-
nection with truth. In in all proba-
bility it originated with Nick Smith,
the father of Wisconsin campaign
lies.

1t is estimated that one hundred
fifty thousand feet of lumber and one
hundred thirty thousand shingles will
be used in constructing the new Prim-
tive Methodist church building in
Mineral Point. Under the Mckinley
tariff law the lumber trust is licensed
to add to the cost of the lumber an
average of two dollars per thousand
feet and to the shingles twenty cents
per thousand; or, in the aggregate,
about three hundred dollars to the
lumber and tWenty-six dollars to the
shingles. This is the tariff tax, or
rather the trust tax, on only two items
of the building materials. If it was
estimated on all the other items, such
as steel, iron, and glass, it is safe to
say that it would foot up many humid
reds more. Nor is this the worst
feature of the Mckinley law as APP
piled to churches. Even the books
used in divine service are heavily
taxed. For shame! to point with pride
to such taxation as the American
system.

Protection for Foreigners.

It has been for many years the custom
Of American manufacturers to charge
the foreigner less for his goods than he
charges his fellow citizens. The reason
is of course that the tariff which keeps
foreign goods out of the American mar
ket, or makes them SO expensive that
they are out of the reach of all but the
rich and the we'll to do, enables the
manufacturer to sell without regard to
the real worth of his goods, but when he
goes into foreign market he must COM
pete with all corners.
From the Spanish edition of one of
the leading trade papers there has been
obtained a list Of prices charged in South
American markets for farmers tools,
and from the English edition of the
same paper list of prices charged for
the same things in this country:

Young Men as Democrats.

young men can't be Democrats"
wildly shrieks the Detroit Tribune. 1t
is a fact, however, the truth of which
may be readily verified by any man,
that the by far greater proportion of
young men are Democrats. If any one
doubts this let him look around among
his own immediate friends and &C.
quaintances-and especially those who
will this fall vote for the first time-and
he will find surprisingly large number
of Democratic sons of Republican sires,
while the sons of Democratic families
who will vote the Republican ticket are
notable for their absence.-Grand Rap

The Republican candidate for gov
ernor of Minnesota, Knute Nelson, who
voted for the Mills bill when in congress,
contributed this gem to the literature of
the campaign: 1.-The price of labor is
primarily governed by the law of supply
and demand. The protected producer
does not measure the sum he pays by the
amount of protection he gets, but by the
ease or difficulty with which he can pro-
cure labor, or by the fact whether labor
Is scarce or plenty"

GRESHAM FOR CLEVELAND.

Said to Haye Authorized a Statement
to That Effect, but declines to be
Interviewed.
CHICAGO, Ill, Oct. 2.-Judge Gresh-
am, who is here, authorized the state
ment tonight that he would vote for
Grover Cleveland. He refused to see
reporters, but he sent word to news
paper man by Judge Lambert Tree,
Minister to Belgium under Cleveland,
that the report that he would vote for
the Democratic electoral ticket was
correct. He also wished to have it
understood that his decision was
reached not because of any animosity
to President Harrison, but because he
believed that at this time the tariff
policy Of the Democratic party was
best for the country. He also desired
to have it known that he did not be-
lieve in free trade, but in tariff reform.

In order to hold the wage Garner the
protectionists pass tariff laws which
will put money into the pocket of the
manufacturer, and then depend upon
the latter to make fair division with
the wage Garner. But what if the ''fat
frier" gets hold of the manufacturers
and takes the wage earners' portion for
use as campaign funds?

ONLY CHOLERA MORBUS.

No Infection in New York-The Good
Work of Prevention.
NEW YORK, Sept. Q, 1S92.-The TWO cases
of cholera morbus, out of which the New
York World tried to fake sensation this
morning, proved to be of the simplest
kind. There were no signs of cholera
about them, and both patients are re-
covering fast.
The officers of the transatlantic steam
ship lines In this city have not yet re-
covered from the CONSERVATION into
which the proclamation of twenty days
quarantine threw them yesterday after
noon. All was confusion this morning.
Never before have the companies en-
countered such difficulty. A hurried
conference of nearly all the agents in this
city was held yesterday afternoon, and it
is probable that a longer one will be held
today.
The effect of the proclamation will be a
total suspension of all Immigrant traffic
for at least one month. Although
no formal notice has yet been
sent to the agents here. the officers
of every company, with the single excep-
tion of the Cunard line, early this mora
ing sent cable dispatches to their supe-
riors in Europe, requesting them to re-
ceive no more Immigrant passengers In
some cases the proclamation, as taken
from the newspapers, was sent complete;
in others. only synopsis was sent.
While the cable dispatches did not. of
course, contain direct orders to suspend
Immigrant traffic, there is no doubt
in the minds of the agents
that the officers will comply with
the request. A suspension of Immigrant
traffic Is necessary for economical rea-
sons. The cost of keeping the passeug ers
for twelve days at Quarantine, The agents
say, wonld be greater than the amount of
money paid by the passengers for trans
portabion.
DANGER IN THE MAILS.
A grave source of danger from the
cholsra infection to be carefully guarded
is the foreign mails. Both the health
authorities and the post Office officials
recognize the necessity of a careful fumi-
cation and disinfection of the mails, for
there is no source of danger more active,
the experts say, than letters or papers
handled by cholera patients.
All the mail from the infected European
ports comes first to New York. Health
Officer JENKINS is now fumigating all the
mail bags brought in by European steam
ers with sulphur fumes before they leave
the vessel.
1t is said that this method does not re-
move the source of danger, for the germs
may be carried in letters and papers,
which are packed tightly together in the
sacks, where the fumes of the disinfect-
ant cannot reach them.
They are, therefore, subjected to an
other process of fumigation at the Post
Office after they are opened and before
they are distributed by the clerks. The
amount of work to be done in this direc-
Jion may be inferred from the fact that
some of the mail steamers often bring
over as aapy as 1,50o sacks at a time.

WHY THE RAGS WERE LANDED.

To Be Sto1 ed in Hoboken, hut Will Not
Go Through Jersey City
The report circulated last evening to
the effect that Health Inspector Benjamin
had given permission to the agent of the
steamship Sorrento to land her 430 bales
of Hamburg rags at the sugar house dock
is only partly true. The facts are these:-
Inspector Benjamin was informed yester-
day that the Hoboken Health Board had
given permission to the consignees to
store the rags in Campbell's warehouses
in that city. He communicated with the
Hoboken health officers and they told
him that the statement was correct.
They said they had communicatedwitht the
United States Treasury officers and had
heen informed that the rags were shipped
before the cholera broke out; that the
rags had been fumigated and hydraulic
pressed and were safe. Quarantine Health
Officer jenkins gave a similar certificate
So did the Brooklyn health officers
though the latter took precious good care
that the rags were not unleaded upon
their town.
Under these circumstances Health In
spector Benjamin allowed the rars to be
taken from the Sorrento. But they were
not unloaded upon the dock. Mr. Ben-
jamin told the consignees that they could
