Mrs. Pleasant realized her hopeless con-

GOVERNOR MCKINLEY made glo-
rious speech at New York last week.
He has the happy faculty of condensing
whole argument into a sentence.
Here are few:
Whenever Europe will give to her
workmen the wages that we give to
ours, then we will remove our tariffs and
meet her in the neutral markets of the
world, and it will be the survival of the
fittest.
Free trade cheapens the products by
cheapening the producer; protection
cheapens the product by increasing the
vast possibilities of the producer, under
the most generous laws that can be
given.
We can have free trade in this coun-
try-and we can't have it a moment
sooner--when the nations of the world
bring their social and labor condition up
to ours, for we will never level ours
down to theirs.
The campaign this year under Harri-
son is a campaign in the United States
for the United States against all man.
kind.
You have to raise s1,O00,000 every
twenty -four hours to meet the demands
of trade and government. The Repub-
1ican party is opposed to taxing itself so
long as it can find anybody else to tax.
And they say that the tariff is tax.

THE Democratic county ticket nomi-
mated at Barnesyille on Tuesday, is
wholly machine made. The dupes who
allowed their names to 60 on as candi-
dates for Clerk, Sheriff and Recorder,
are there to be slaughtered in the inter-
est of Auditor and Commissioner. 1t
was evident that there was no intention
to nominate any one who would possess
any strength in himself. Men were
wanted willing to be sacrificed in order
to hold the two offices now in the hands
of the Democracy. Whether these men,
now that they are on the ticket, will
submit to such treatment remains to be
seen, but such is the intention of the
leaders. Trading and every other means
known, will be practiced to carry Hen
derson and Hart through. This is Re-
publican county, and the Republicans
only need to solidify in order to thwart
any schemes the Democracy may con.
coct The Democratic hope is so slim
that they will make an effort to elect
but two of their ticket, but watchful-
ness among Republicans will prevent
even show at that. Our efforts must
be directed toward electing the whole
ticket, lest under cover of Auditor and
Commissioner the Democrats attempt a
still hunt on the others.
