81 am pretty good Democrat" said a
gentleman crossing the Erie ferry, "but
no one can convince me that President
Harrison was working for political effect
when he turned away from a sick wife,
made night journey to Washington and
hafo &c hn Il hoe
antine order issued. He did it as the
President of the Uuited States. He did
what nobody suggested doing, and he
was entirely equal to the emergency"

The Master Spinners' Federation of
Lancashire, England, has pronounced by
vote of eighty per cent. in favor of "a
five per cent. reduction Of wages. This
goes to confirm the persistent reports of
the depression of English manufacturing
industries Under the influence of the free
trade system that the Chicago Democrat
ic platform is pledged to introduce in the
United States. While wages in Ameri-
can manufacturing industries are holding
their own or increasing, the British oper-
ative is confronted either by reduction
of wages or by loss of work altogether
A similar prospect will confront the
American wOrkingman should the Ma
ton declare in November for Cleveland
and Free Trade, and against Harrison
and Protection.

Rev. Sam Small should have stayed in

The recent British occupation of the
Gilbert group, following closely upon that
country's seizure of Johnson's Island and
her purchase of Milan Island, deserves
serious consideration at the hands of our
government Great Britain is evidently
making preparations to wage a great
commercial warfare with the United
States. This will be carried on without
blood-shed if possible, but by any means
if expediency so orders it. In any event,
Great Britain has begun to surround us
with Gordon of strategic points, which
will hold us enmeshed if war ever does
break out. 1t is time that we resisted
this movement. Every recent occupa-
ton should be challenged and if we had
any rights in the premises-no matter
how remote-they should be pressed
with all possible vigor. 1t is not incom-
patible with our attitude in the Monroe
Doctrine to stand up for commercial
rights which we have obtained abroad.
Our national sense of self-respect de-
mands such course. The sooner Presi-
dent Harrison takes hold of this matter
the better for the country and for his
popularity, too.
