In his North Carolina campaign
General Stevenson gives great deal
of prominence to the force bill issue
which he, in common with many
other leading thinkers, regard as of
the most vital Importance to the
South. 1t is certain that the passage
of such law as President Harrison
would recommend and the republi-
can party is committed to by its plat
form, would check southern develop
ment, destroy confidence in the sta
bility of any industrial enterprise,
unsettle the country and bring about
the deplorable condition of things
that existed during the period OF re-
construction when carpet-baggers
and scalawags held high carnival
and southern whites were at their
mercy. Certainly the force bill is a
very grave issus.

TWO VIEWS OF PROTECTION
From the Letter Of President Harrison.
The tariff law has given emnlov-

Harrison
The tariff law has given employ
ment to many thousands of American
men and women, and will each wear
give employment to increasing
thousands. Its repeal would throw
thousands out of employment and
give work to others only at reduced
wages.
From an Arti Gle by Master Workman Powderly.
The workman has not been protec-
ted from foreign competition by the
government. He has had to fight the
battle for himself through the labor
organization. Not only has he had
to fight against foreign competition,
largely attracted by our delusive
tariff laws, but he has had to wage
war with the employer for share of
that protection which his govern
ment decreed by law that he should
have. Our government has enacted
protective legislation in the interest
of labor, if we read congressional
speeches Alright, but it quiescently
allows the manufactures TO absorb
the bulk of protection, and then
throws its armies around the estab-
lisment at the slightest provocation
when the workmen ask for what their
government admitted that they had
a right to enjoy.

ASIDE from all the evidences of a
United democracy and general conf
dence, there is little fact in cOnnec.
ton with elections in the state of
New York to which attention has
frequently been called, but which
will still bear repetition. In all the
years since the war, the Empire State
has never given her electoral vote to
the presidential candidate of the same
party twice in succession. In 1868
Seymour carried the state: in 1872 it
was carried by Grant. Again in
1876 the democrats won and Tilden
got the electoral vote. In 1880
Garfield, in 1884 Cleveland and in
1888 Harrison won. According to
precedent the state is bound to 60 for
Cleveland in 1892, and as goes New
York, so goes Indiana.

A LNF.iR CRITICISM

The Metropolis Of jacksonville in
recent issue very unjustly comments
upon the chief executive Of the state
in calling cOurt-martial of Capt. ).
c. Boylston Of the Metropolitan
Light Infantry upon charges pre-
ierred during the st. Augustine en-
campment. 1t lays particularly stress
upon the cost of the trial.
1t became the duty of the governor,
as commander-in-chief Of the state
militia to call a court-martial when
charges were preferred against that
gentleman and it was his due, as
well as for the discipline of the
service, that trial should be had by
the proper tribunal at the earliest
practicable moment. The question
OF cost in matter of duty could of
course not enter into consideration
and the implied reflection upon
Governor Fleming by our esteemed,
and usually cautious, contemporary,
is unjust and the FLoR1DIAN hopes
it's editor will view it in that light.
In view Of the fact that not later
than two months ago it became
necessary for Governor Fleming to
send five additional companies
to reinforce the jacksonville
militia to quell riot in that city, it
i'll becomes a Jacksonville newspaper
to make publications having a di-
rect tendency to impair the discipline
and efficiency of the state troops.

~ 4 " 4 DEMOCRAT .ETILi "

Senator Hill of New York made
his first speech in this campaign on
Monday night to an immense audi
ence i'll Brooklyn, New York.
Opening with definition OF his
own position in the words, II am a
democrat STILL" he reiterated and
emphasized his message to Tammany
Hall on the 4th Of July, that "lovalty
to cardinal democratic principles and
to regularly nominated candidates is
the supreme duty of the hour" No
defeated aspirant ever rallied his fol.
lowers to the support of the ticket
with better words than these:
fractional appeals should now cease.
TIE spirit of resentment should he
abandoned, state pride should be subordi-
mated to the general good, real or fanci+ d
grievances should be dismissed. personal
ambitions should be sacrificed and indi !.
vldual disappointments should be for
gotten IN this great emergency which de-
Lands from US all the exhibit ON of q

Those who expected the senator to
dodge the main issue in this cam
pa'gn between the two great parties,
were sadly disappointed. The prin-
c'pal part of his speech, as reported
IN the New York papers, is devoted
to IT'S discussion. His speech con-
talns the ablest, clearest and most
accurate statements and defense of
the democratic position on the tariff
yet made. His Remuneration of the

ANOTHER PROTECTION PARADOX

ANOTHER PROTECTION PARDON.
From the New York World
The WORLD has already demon
strated thatthe protective tariff has
made the IN anufacture1S of steel rails
independent of the law of supply
and demand. Although there is no
demand for rails they are still held
by the trust at $50 ton-$4 more
than was asked in 1885 when Besse-
mer pig was So cheaper-and $40
more than their cost in England.
Mr. Schoenhof now shows that in
1856 the cost Of cotton in a pound of
Lowell cloth was 1866 cents, and
that the total cost Of production was
1926 cents. Print cloth then sold
at 3 cents the yard; it now sells for
81 cents. This is true notwlth, tand-
ING a tall in raw cotton OF y cents a
pound. The cost Of production has
fallen tl"m 1926 cents to I5.74G,

themselves in much Boosting over
recent ~ per cent. increase in wcav-
rr> wages, but wages have not yet
ben restored to the rates that were
paid when goods were costing more
and selling for less. In 1854 wages
per cut were about two cents more
than they have lcen since the ~ per
cent. increase.
An acute critic like Mr. Schocnhot
finds much OF this sort of thing in the
claims Of PrOtectiOnistS who ar"
bent On showing that the more their
product costs the cheaper they can
afford to sell it.
The world has never been so full
Of paradoxes as since the Mckinley

VOW FOR TIE VOTES

~ - 1879
The canvass for the state election
of 1892 is drawing to close. A
week from next Tuesday the verdict
Of the people will be rendered. OF
what the result will be, there re-
mains not the question Of doubt.
Virtually, there has been only one
party in the field, for the following
which the abortive efforts of the third
party leaders have been able to con-
centrate, will not be large enough to
endanger the democratic ticket in
any degree. Whether Mr.. A. P.
Baskins has been imposed upon by
his willy lieutenants, or whether he
really believed that he had ever the
ghost of show to be elected to the
gubernatorial chair, matters very little
now; the fact remains that the Hon.
II. L. Mitchell will be elected to the
chief executive office of the demo-
cratic state Of Florida by from
$4,000 to 10000 majority.
The canvass has not been marked
by the old time spirit, when the demo
cracy had to work might and main
for success, though able speakers
have been in the field. But because
the result is an absolute certainty it
should be no reason to keep any true
democrat away from the polls on
October 4th next.
In the first congressional district
the Hon. Stephen r. Mallory has vir-
tually had a walkover, there being no
opposing candidate in the field. The
district could not have an ADLER and
safer representative
In the second district the Hon. 4.
5. Mann, Of many counties but no
one in partic ular. has been making a
canvass on the third party ticket for
the position of congressman from the
second district. His canvas, in the
beginning was somewhat spirited and
