POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS,


nine years ago under which so many
democrats were forced to go into the
/ army, hire a substitutes or scoot for
/ Canada
| The peoples" party came out square
toed for government ownership of rail-
| roads, telegraph and telephone lines,
but they failed to state the manner in
which the ownership should be Sc
cured, by purchase or confscation.
However, such lofty reformers care not
to consider trifies like these.
That odious force bill, among other
dreadful things, will revive race an
tagonisms, now happily abated," says
the democratic platform. Abated since
when? The record is madesat eyery cleo
ton that the shotgun does the abat-
ing to dozen or more, who are '.killed
and wounded" for daring tovote.
Between the free coir se' folly Of
the peoples party (which means a sill
yer dollar worth only 70 cents) and the
cheeky demand of the democrats to re
turn again to wild cat banking (which
means downright robbery the repub-
hcans stand forth as the only party de-
manding that dollar shall be worth a
dollar.
Judge Altgeh is still itine rating over
the state in his celebrated 'shand to
hand" canvass. At the end of the first
month of tramping it was reported that
demands had been made upon him for
five hundred thousand dollars. This
rate, for six months means three mil
<>4 Ill
wild the stuff?'
A confession of weaknessin both cam
didates and platform of the democrats
Is convincingly apparent from the con-
slant efforts of democratic managers to
throw the selection of president into
the house of representatives. We're they
even reasonably sure of an election by
the people no such side-show arrange
ments would be made in advance.
The American boy and girl can soon
have pearl buttons sail over them so
far as cost and quality is concerned.
The sixtieth American pearl factory is
now being constructed at Newark, N.
j., by Thomas A. Webb These fac
tories employ over 1000 persons. Skilled
workmen earn from S18 to S22 per week
three times as much as the same
class in Europe.
A middle-aged business man, we'll
known in Chicago, recently remarked,
In conversation, as follows: II lived 81
years of my life in free trade Canada,
and know something by way of con-
trast between that system and pro-
lection, as applied here. Should I live
hundred years could not say or do |
too much for the country in which en-
JOY SO many blessings of citizenship"
Two years ago democratic orators de-
nounced what they called the "Billion
Dollar Congress" from every stump in
the country. Democrats control by an
immense majority the present house,
which at it's first session, now about to
close, has MAJ appropriations aggre-
eating $506,500,0OO or S43, ,1O1, 400 q
more than was passed by the first ses-
sion Of the preceding congress SO loud
ly denounced.
For versatility IN speech-making
President Harrison greatly excels, and,
no matter what the occasion or subject,
he rises to the emergency. His recent
address before the national association
of teachers was remarkable off hand
address, able, scholarly and compre.
hensive. Contrasted with anything
said by 'Cleve and Steve on their re-
turn from being surprised" Ben gets
away with them greatly.
Democratic money doctors are hard
ly entitled to hearing before the
American people. The inventors of
wildcat" banking are not to be
trusted with the finances of the coun-
try. They opposed at every step-in
congress and out of 1.-THE principal
steps leading to our present system,
which brought us through the war, an
swers every safe purpose in peace, and
can only be safely managed by the
party creating it. Il
The admirable speech of Mckinley |
1T the Auditorium ratification meeting
n Chicago was at no point more val
lable than where he declared and |
showed so plainly that tariff for rev.
enue only was always paid by the
consumer, while ''tariff for protec-
ion" never touched the consumer at all.
As tariff for revenue only" is the |
cardinal doctrine of the democrats, the
consumer must make up his mind to pay :
t in full.
In wildcat" days the democratic IL
fluctuated in. value so greatly
hat monthly ''Detector" was value
ess, and weekly publication of quota
ions was established. It kept the !
Jerks eternally figuring up discounts,
md the rates of to-day were valueless /;
o-morrow. Fortunes were made by | /
hese banks of issue in the southern
states, and they want to do it again by
return to the system
The constitution of the United States
declares: ''The right of citizens of the f
United States to vote shall not be de- t
lied or abridged by the United States I
n by any state on account of race, color,
'r previous condition of servitude"
n perfect harmony with this declara-
ion of the constitution the republican
platform says: "We demand that every I
itizen of the United States shall be al S
owed to cast one free and unrestricted
'allot in all public elections and that q
uch ballot shall be counted and re-
urned as cast; that such laws shall be {
nacted and enforced as will secure to c
very citizen, be he rich or poor, native l
r foreign born, white or black, this
overeign right guaranteed by the con-
titution. The free and honest popular
'allot, the just and equal representa-
ion of all of the people, as well as their G
ust and equal protection under the
avs, are the foundation of our repub-
lean institutions, and the party will
lever relent in its efforts until the integ-
ity of the ballot and the purity of the : :
lections shall be fully guaranteed and +
