HERE is an extract from the re-
publican platform Of 1860, on
which Abraham Lincoln ran for
the office of president and was
elected: While providing revenue
for the support of the general gov
ernment by duties upon imports,
sound policy requires such an ad-
justment of these imports as to en-
courage the development of the
industrial interests of the whole
country; and we commend that
rolicy of national exchanges which
secures to the workingmen liberal
wages, to agriculture remunerat-
ing prices, to mechanics and man
ufacturers an adequate reward for
their skill, labor and enterprise,
and to the nation commercial pros
perity and independence.

THE Cleveland managers have

Of the sections that have been too
long antagonized. To respond to
that overture by systematic organi-
cations and prosecutions of the
leader, because of his record as a
union soldier, was anything but
polite. 1t was undoubtedly insti-
gated by the moneyed influence of
the country, that is back of Cleve-
land. The proceedings in Georgia
which now seek palliation in mis-
statements that are proved to be
such by the associated press dis
patches, have made a profound
impression in several sections of
the north and they are entirely to
the advantage of President Har-
rison.

"lHcKTNLEY PRICES"

The bagaboo OF Mckinley
prices" is not given that proInin-
ence in this years campaign that it
had in that of two years ago; but
the general statement is persisted
iii that prices have been increased
by the new tariff law. This is
charged in the Chicago platform,
and it is Extensively assumed by
every democratic speaker and
newspaper. There can be but one
reason assigned for this persistent
misrepresentation-that the free
trade doctrinaires are banking up
on the supposed Grass ignorance
of the people. The usual demo-
cratic plan of campaign is to as
sumo that the masses are fools, ,and
that lie, closely adhered to, wins
votes better than an honest argu-
ment.
If this position were correct, we
should despair of the republic, and
admit with sorrow that the Amer
lean people were not fit to govern
themselves. We do not believe
that the average voter is Of such a
low grade of intelligence that he is
not able to tell whether the .arti,
cles of everyday use-his food
clothing, furniture, etc.-are dear
er or cheaper than they were three
years ago, before the present tariff
law was passed. He will not be.
lieve this persistent democratic lie
if he has any intelligence what.
ever. Any man who keeps an ac
count of his eXpenses-and every
man should do so-knows that al
manufactured articles of necessity
and comfort are cheaper now thar
they were at that time. The new
tariff has not made them dearer; i
has not injured the people, bu
benefited them.-Toledo Blade.

An interesting feature Of tie ma
tional capital is the number of
residences and other buildings of
great historical interest which in
the march of time and progress
have been utilized in more practi-
cal directions and are now devoted
to prosaic purposes. The old Ford
theatre, on Tenth street northwest,
in which President Lincoln was
assassinated, is now filled with
government employees, and is used
as branch of one of the over
crowded departments, while the
residence across the, street in
which the martyred president died,
has become lodging'house,
though all inscribed marble slab
on the front still locates it as the
scene Of the great mans death.
On Four-and-a half street, within
a stones throw of Pennsylvania
avenue, stands a large four-story
double brick house in Indifferent
repair, the old Collax mansion, oc-
cupied by the vice-president of
that name during his residence in
Washington. 1t has for years
been used as a boarding house, but
latterly mas been unoccupied for
more than a year. The former
residence of the late Chief Justice
Chase, a rather pretentious struc-
ture OH E street northwest, is now
swell club house. Ben Buffers
quondam residence, a magnificent
gray-stone pile OH Pennsylvania
avenue southeast, near the
capitol, has also fallen into the
hands of the government. General
Butler having sold it to Uncle Sam
a year or two ago for $2OO,000
and it is now used as congress
sional committee rooms. Numer-
Gus other instances of similar de-
sertions of once famous houses
might be cited, and the reason is
usually to be found in the fact
that the fashionable residence
quarter is every year getting fur
ther away from the capitol.

The New Orleans Picayune says
that reciprocity with Cuba has
brought several additional steam
ers into the trade between that
city and Havana. Previously the
traffic was all one way, consisting
of imports from Cuba. Now the
vessels are taking out flour, corn
and other commodities. There is
no section of the country that has
a deeper interest in protection and
reciprocity than has the south.
The new iron industries of Ala
bama and other states have al
ready worked a revolution in that
trade. Cotton manufactures are
progressing in the southern states.
Railroad building has vastly in
creased the facilities for communi-
cation and transportation. With
this new market opening to the
south in this hemisphere, and the
encouragement of steamship lines
to carry our products, the south
has a vital interest in the main
tenance of the republican policy.

WHAT is labor cost? Here is an
illustration which shows how
largely it is factor in the cost of
manufactured articles: 1t is es
timated by experts that the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company builds
locomotive out of 20 tons of iron
ore and 4 tons of coal. The ore in
the earth is worth not over $5, the
coal in the mine, not over 81. By
the time the locomotive is finished,
it has cost the company $4,000.
The difference is what is paid la
Dor for turning the ore into iron
and steel, fashioning the parts,
and building the engine.
