BLAINE oN THE ISSUES.

The letter written by James G
 Blaine, the worlds great statesman
 on the political issues of this coun
 try, is too lengthy for our limited
 space. but the following review of il
 from the San Francisco Chronicle
 will be found interesting:
 James G. Blaine has completely
 overturned the predictions of the
 democrats that he would sulk in hi.
 tent and do nothing in the present
 campaign to contribute to the re. election of President Harrison. Ex- cusing himself, on account of his
 health from speech-making, he has
 written a letter to the chairman of the Maine Republican Committee, in which he lays down and defines the issues of the campaign so clear ly that no one can misunderstood them.
 As MT. Blaine regards the situa- tion-and no thoughtful American will disagree with him-there are three issues presented prominently by the contest of the present year. They are the taritf, reciprocity and the national currency question. Everything else he deems subordin- ate to these issues and he maintains his point with that dialectual skill of which he is so great a master.
 He points out under the first head that under the Mckinley tariff agri- culture has been rmuneratiye, man. ufactunes prosperous and commerce more ilourishing than at any pre- yious time. thus vindicating the tar iif by an impressive and undeniable series of facts. Against this tariff. says Mir. Blaine, the democratic party has deliberately arrayed itself following, almost literally, the nulli- iication schemes advocated by Cal houn in 1883, which position, as he shows, is diametrically opposed to the views of that idol of the demo cracy, Thomas Jefferson.
 As to reciprocity, he shows with much force, that the democrats fav- ored it until the republicans took it up and then deserted it to a man, least it's adoption should confer some political advantage upon their opponents. The scheme, he says, is very plain and very simple, and the only excuse the democratic party can find for trying to discredit it is that they did not originate it.
 Regarding the currency question, MT. Blaine says, and everybody must admit it, that with all its calamities the war brought one blessing, currency. The State banks, under the former system, were | wholly irresponsible and caused an loss of hundreds of mil lions of dollars among the poor. 1t Is this vicious system which the are seeking to revive, and than which, says Mir Blaine, no de- vice could be more deadly for the deception and despoilment of all and laboring classes.
 The republican party will be wise 10 take MT. Blaine's advice, which is 50 directly in harmony with Presi- lent Harrison's letter, and confine he campaign to these three great ssues. Charles A. Dana and Adlai E. Stevenson may froth at the mouth over force bill, but no such meas gre is or should be an issue in this present contest.

WHAT A DEMOCRATIC OFFICIAL
 NAYS

Oui ueuuocfatic brethren hay,
 been shouting the interrogatory
 Where have the wages of the work
 ing classes been raised by the Me
 kinley billi" Republicans and re
 publican papers have answered tn,
 question, and shown them and tn,
 country where such effect had beer
 produced, but of course they hay,
 not been willing to accept this, and
 refer to it as simply campaign ar
 gument. In his annual report, Lab
 or Commissioner Peck, a democrat
 appointed by Cleveland, of New
 York, says: "The returns from 6,OOO
 manufacturers in New York state
 show that the MCKINLEY BILL HAs IN.
 CREASED THE WAGES or rHE WORKING
 MEN" MT. Peck further says:
 ''l rather expected my report
 would cause some comment, but it
 IS all nonsense to call it a political document. I started this inquiry in December, 1890, SO you see there was no thought of the present political campaign in laying out the work. The tariff question was taken up be- cause 1t has come to be one of the greatest moment to workingmen. Now, am democrat Hill dem ocrat, if you wiil-and began this inquiry with the belief that the re- suit would vindicate the democratic tariff position. The first returns came from the silk industry and were pleasant to my way of think ing. But l am free to admit that my report on the whole is not in harmony with the democratic plat form, so far as the tariff is concern ed. However, my duty as a state official is to report things as find them, not as a reckless partisan would have them construed. There is no political bias about my reports, nor do I believe there is in any of the reports of any labor bureau in the country. All I can say is that the statements of my report are based on actual confidential letters. received from 5000 representatives of wholesale manufacturers of New York State. The result shows me that the leading democratic speak CTS on the tariff are in error as to the effects of the Mckinley bill. The figures in my report speak for themselves, and there is no getting away from them.'
 According to his own admission, MT. Peck commenced his investiga- tion, similar to the manner in which Chairman Oates, of the Homestead committee, commenced to investi- gate the strike. Both were confident that they could make showing fav- orable to the democratic party. Chairman Oates, on failing to do so, suppressed his report until the next session of congress, which will not until after the campaign has ended. Mir. Oates has, however, privately stated that the result was favorable to the republican party.
 Commissioner Peck, however, with an honesty rarely found among off ,ials of his party, states boldly in ais report that the wages of work ngmen have been raised in New York by the operation of the Me kinley bill. For his honesty in so stating he is denounced by demo ;ratic papers and is being branded IS traitor, all of which shows how ] title honesty and fairness there is .mong the leaders of that party.

During his recent visit to Denver Governor \. O. Murphy was inter viewed by the Republican, of that place, with regard to
 ARIzoSA GREAT FCTuRE. The Denver Republican contains the following concerning Arizona and her governor:
 Hon. \. O. Murphy of Pheuix, governor of the territory of Ari- zona, is in the city with his wife and son. They came here for the con claye, but immediately upon his ar rival Governor Murphy was called home on official business. Mrs, Murphy and her son remained. They will leSre here this week for Salt Lake and the Pacific coast. Arizona is in very prosperous condition considering the chance she has had." said Governor Mur- phy. Politics in Arizona do not have the absorbing interest that obtains in Colorado, because we have no electoral votes. The gen eral sentiment is favorable to the free coinage of silver, but the fact that tho gold production with us greatly exceeds that of silver makes that secondary consideration. We have no Peoples party organization, the lines between the Republican and Democratic parties being close ly drawn. Heretofore the territory has been classed as Democratic, but l think it extremely doubtful if that party will carry the election this fall.
 ANXIOUS FOR STATEHOOD.

I have been resident of Arizona ten years am not. probably, looked upon as some of those have who held the position ofchief executive who came from other states, but the fact that l was appointed by the president and not elected by the people is de plored as matter of principle.
 "The material prosperity of Ari zona has been great in the last few years, snd the present outlook is very cheerful. No section of this country, not even the territory of Alaska, is as little understood as Arizona. Our territory has as much and as productive agricultural land as Illinois.

"The Santa Fe, Prescott x Phe. nix railway, 2l0 miles long, is now being built to connect these Two roads. It will probably be finished by July next, and I expect that event to mark the beginning off 2 new era for Arizona.
 Already capital and imm;~ra- ton are being attracted to the ter. ritory and l look for a boom in tba next hve or ten years similar to those that have been experienced hy other portions of the West.
 Arizona has heretofore baan chiefly noted for her historic ana prehistoric relics. 1t is true that millions of people of whom tbere ;s no history extant, except what is found within the ruins of tba;r homes, once lived within her bo,Ib- daries. ''i
 The great irrigating ditches that once made productive her millions of acres of valley lands show that her prehistoric races possessed won derful engineering skill and great energy. But these things do not especially interest the Arizonans of to-day. The future has more at. tractiye problems for them to solva than the identity of their predeccs- sors of ages past.

A QUESTION FUR COLOUR

One of the rather pulling things
in Georgia politics Is Senator Col
quits desertion OF ex-Prcsidant
Cleveland for Senator Hill. says the
Columbus Enquirer-Suu The time
was when the Georgia statesman
fairly worshipped at the feet Of The
tariff reformer. So loyal was he that
during the four years OF President
Cleveland he was a pet of the admin
lstration, and was entrusted with the
distribution Of the Federal patron

that the manner in which he distrjb,
uted this patr image neither strength
ened the Democratic party nor pleas.
ed working Democrats. Cleveland is
the same staunch, courageous Demo-
GRAFT that he was then, and is the same
champion of tariff reform, and still
holds the confidence of the American
people. The Augusta Chronicle has
taken the matter up and asks "what
has the ex-President done that the
senior Senator from Georgia should
desert him for Senator Hill? The
Chronicle devotes half a column to
the discussion, but finds no other
answer than the following:
"Senator Colquitt has the 1eputa,
ton of being sagacious and practi.
eel politician. 1t is possible that the
wind of popular opinion is blowing so
strongly for Senator Hill from the
observatory of Senator Colquitt that
he already perceives the shadows OF
coming events"
1t concludes with the following,
which will trouble the Senator to
answer.
"After four years of education on
the tariff question, there never was a
more oppOrtune time than the pres
ent for the issue to be fought for tar
if reform. What was an inexcusable
blunder in 18S8-and for this no
man was more responsible than our
distinguished Senator in forcing the
issue of tariff reform before the coun>
try was ready to understand the ques,
ton is now timely ald winning
issue, demanded alike by the necessl-
ties Of the people and wise party pol.
icy. There is no question about the
great issue. 1t is tariff reform. 1t
was a blunder that cost us the elec.
ton in 1888. 1t is the vital, para
mount and only winning issue tor the
democratic party in 1892, The free
silver issue is a fraud"
"The question then recurs, why
does Senator Colquitt desert MIR.
Cleveland for Senator Hill? Every
man who knows anything about pol4
itics must admit that it was the pre-
mature presentation Of the tari1f issue
that defeated our candidate in the
last election. Every man of intelli,
gence ought to know that tariff re,
form is the main question now before
the country. Why throw the man
overheard who is the embodiment of
that idea? Does Senator Colquitt
think that Grover Cleveland is the
Jonah Of the Democratic party?N
