from the practice. They have no word
to say to Democratic corruptionists.
This is like the action of the Cooper
heads during the war; who, in the inter-
ests of peace, called upon the North to
lay down its arms while the rebels
remained in the field. Further comment
is useless.
The Northwest is in the throes of a
grain blockade and car famine. Wheat
is pouring into st. Louis in large auani-
ties and, as the result, prices are lower
than ever before. In Chicago there are
10000 loaded grain cars and absolutely
no place to unload them. Every eleva-
tor is crammed to the caves, few Of the
shippers are inclined to rail rates and a
majority of the boats do not care to take
grain at any price, The ,F5ason for this
lack OF transportation is that every ele-
vatOr from Toledo to Buffalo srems to be
as full as those in Chicago.
If the people do not decide intelli-
gently at the National election it can be
hardly attributed to the lack of informa-
ton in regard the question at issue Be-
sides the newspapers and public docu-
ments, which have been circulated in
immense numbers, it is estimated that
10000; men are making campaign
speeches throughout the country. This
estimate is made by the Superintendent
of the Republican Speakers Bureau in
Washington, and is concurred in by the
director of the Democratic bureau. Polit-
ical wisdom is thus being poured into
the minds of the people in perfect
flood. -
The National Democratic platform
demands tariff for revenue only. We
have had such tariff in this country
We had IA years of it between 1916 and
1860. If there is any young voter who
wishes to know what results it produced
and why it was discarded, let him look
up the record. Having done this, he can
take our word for it that he will never
vote to have the shareholders tariff policy
resurrected in the United States.
President Eliot of Harvard has
tabooed the song Marching Through
Georgia" on the college grounds. We
hope the students will continue to sing
just what they please, and if the above
named song doesn't suit the president,
we suggest that he move South where
Maryland, My Maryland" is more
popular. ..-.-
That we are in the full tide of
autumn weddings, one has only to con-
suit the columns of the newspapers 10
learn. But from comparison of the
papers of some of the leading cities we
are led to believe that the season is a
more flourishing one in Boston than any
where else in the country. 1t might not
be gracious to give statistics, but as far
as the society wedding" goes, Boston
leads, two to One.--BostOn Journal.
The Republican policy guarantees
that man who does a dollars worth of
work shall receive 100 cents for it,
whereas the Democratic demand is that
he shall be paid in rag currency, which
may be worth par one day and fifty cents
on the dollar the next day. The Demo
cratic party asks the workingmen to de-
grade labor by voting to debase the
money in which tits paid.
Coy. Flower sets Mr.. Clevelands
majority in the Empire State at $4,000.
AS against this over stuffed prediction
we place the solemn words of Delegate
Flower who at Chicago warned the con-
vention that Mr.. Cleveland couldn't carry
the State at all.
