PICkPOCKETS CRYING "eT
THEFT"


The Democratic national committee.
through the voice of Grover Cleveland, is
trying to convince the country that tho
Republicans of New York are trying to
steal that great state by fraud and "negro
colonization" The Democracy raises
hue and cry, bat IT gives no facts and
makes no arrest.
The charge of Republican fraud In New
York city is absurd in the face of tho fact
that the control Of the police as we'll as
that of all the election machinery, Is in
the hands of the Democrats. No Repuo-
lican could possibly succeed in any
scheme of fraud. and any attempt At
such a thing would lead to instant arrest
and prosecution. No Republican attempts
at colonization or other frauds have been
discovered by Tammany, but on the other
registration officers have been made in
Albany and the proof of their crime Is
complete. The fact that the Democratic
charge that Republican negro colonization
has been discovered in New York city has
been followed hy no arrests makes it GER
tain that the Democratic pick pockets are
trying to escape observation by raising the
cry of "Stop. thief"
There is evidently systematic effort to
carry New York for Cleveland by fraud.
The fraudulent registration in Albany hiss
been duplicated in other cities. The New
York Herald independently, speaking Of
the registration in Brooklyn says: From
one house on Third avenue forty persons
registered. II is large fat house not yet
completed nor furnished. To the Repub-
iican campaign committee the fraud
seemed so apparent that il has procured
warrants for the arrest Of the forty men,"
In addition il was discovered that 30 men
who arc employed IN the county buildings
in Fiat ush. but VINO live IN Brooklyn,
have registered n both cities.
To ali In this work the laws in New
York We're changed by Tsmmany legis-
lature made SO by theft and fraud. Four
years ago the inspectors of election in New
York city We're divided equally between
the par,ies-tvo Democrats and Two Re-
puhlicans. The law has been changed so
that the Republicans have but one in.

AN ENGLISH PROTECTIONIsr.

Germany, France. Italy, Russia, Amer
lea, all the selfgoverning colonies of Great
Britain have gone over to protection
Every democratic country mas adopted it
and the chief nations which practice it
are making enormous progress with their
industries-progress which in some cases
casts that of England completely into tho
shade, even in her own special fields of
industry. The United States have dis
tanced England in the manufacture of
iron and steel. These are some of the re.
suits of protection that have converted not
a few Englishmen to protection.

Cleveland was beaten in 1883 chiefly be-

do not share Gladstone's delusion that
foreign tariffs cannot seriously interfere
with England's prosperity, or that great
industries cannot grow under q protective
system, but agree rather with the great
English Tory leader, Lord Salisbury. who

INFANT INDUSTRIES.

A most idiotic phrase, Infant indus
tries" is current among Democrats who
object to protection when the industry is
not an infant in years. Any man Of business
common sense knows that it matters not
whether our industrie. are infant or q
century Old. for s., long as We pay double
the wages of Europe we must have pro-
lection; otherwise labor must come down.
Give the American manufacturer labor at
European prices ana he would need no tar

as Europe is obhge@ to live in order TO make
both ends meet mats low wages. II your

wages this year. as shown by actual "hir.

lows: Farm foremen, $3.50 to 1892 per
annum; pillow boys. $685. to s92o5 per an

The London News. in April last year, de-
scribing the condition of things then pre-
vailing in Lincolnshire. stated that the
weekly wages o. farm laborers averaged
II shillings week. This would be equiv
alent to 50 of our money. But the En-
glish farm laborer has his board and lodg-

vide for out of this pittance. His house
rent is perhaps Is pence week, so that
he has only 10 shillings and sixpence left
with which to keep his family in food,
clothing. firing, schooling and rates. In
other words, the English farm laborer
receives ia money only about one-half as
much as the American, and out of this he
has to support himself, while the Amer

Ireland has had free trade for seventy
two years. In this time she has lost four
millions of her population and all her
manufacturing industries. Her silk fac
tories have been destroyed, her WOODEN in
dustries have dwindled to almost nothing.
The cotton manufacture of Dublin, which
employed 1900 operatives, has been de-
stroyed: the 5000 silk looms of the
Liberty" have been destroyed. The stuff
and serge manufactures, which employed
1,491 operatives, haze been destroyed; the
calico looms of Baloriggan have been de-
stroyed; the hannes manufacture of Rath-
drum has been destroyed; the blanket
manufacture OF Kilkenny, which once
commanded the markets of the world, has

The people Of King county should not
be inhaled BY the fact that Mr.. McGraw
had m excellent meeting at Tacoma into
the belief that the Seattle haters have in
any way lsssened their efforts TO prevent
an endorsement by the people of the Lake
Washington canal. II In true that Mr.. Nc
Graw had 6ns meeting and this was due
very largely to the efforts Of the Harri-
son Club Of Tacoma, an organization of
loyal Republicans who, though few in
number, are making a valiant fight for
their party. They were assisted on this
occasion By Republicans from surround
Ing towns. and they succeeded in bringing
together before Mr.. McGraw an audience
which was highly creditable to them and
to him.
The Seattle haters. however, made their
presence in Tacoma felt. Henry J. snively
was to have spoken there on the evening
before Mr.. Mctiraw. but when the McGraw
meeting was announced, the date of
sntvely's meeting was changed so that
the meeting should fall on the
same night. This was done in the
nope OF breaking up the Mct;raw meet
ing by holding the Democratic meeting
on the same night. Further than this a
large number, no less than seventy-fve.
o. the most prominent business men of
Tacoma. made a deliberate and insulting
attempt TO break up Mr.. McGraw's meet
Ing. They occupied seats well forward in
tho hall in which the meeting was held,
and as soon AS Mr. MoGraw came forward
To speak they arose and left the hall in
body.
II IL true that these efforts failed They
Jailed because Mr.. McGraw arose at once
70 the height of the occasion and made a
speech which was manly, courageous aud
ioreiele, and which is described by many
who heard 1t as among the best to
which they had ever listened. He ear.
fied his audience with him and has Mt last
succeeded in convincing the Seattle haters

Mr.. sNIvELY'S AGENTS AT GRAF.
TON.

Mr.. snively's agents at Grafton have
not as yet accomplished much. They
have not secured a single denial of any
fact alleged by the Posr-INrELLI-
eKScER They have got an affidavit
from John H. Gerkin. but it does not say
that Sniveiy did not swindle him
as alleged. They have got an affidavit
from Mrs. Fallon. but it confirms rather
than denies the charge regarding the de-
frauding of the Fallon orphans of the
money given for their support by the
Catholic Knights of America.
It is stated that the Democratic com.
mittee or some OF Mr.. Snively's friends
are endeavoring to raise money to pay the
people whom Mr.. Snively defraAded at the
time OF his fight. We sincerely hope that
this is true. We hope so for the sake of
the Fallon orphans and the others who
babe goodbye to their money when Mr..
Snively left Grafton in the night. We
sincerely hope that these poor people will
be paid at last Mr.. Snively has already
confessed the truth of the charges made
against him and his political friends who
insisted upon his rem aiming on the Demo
cratic ticket ought to pay his just debts.
However it makes little difference what
affidavits Mr.. Snively's agents at Grafton
are able to procure Mr.. Snively must be
judged by his own admissions. and by
his own admissions he is condemned. Any
unprejudiced person who has heard him at
tempt to explain how he swindled the Fall
Ion orphans out of their money will no.
hesitate for one moment in judging him
guilty. Mr.. Snively has never attempted
to explain this matter without contradi t.
ing himself. confounding himself and con.
demning himself.

MARKING THE TICKETS.

Every voter should understand thor
oughly how to mark his ticket before at
tempting to vote on election day. The
simplest and easiest way of doing this,
and by all means the best way, is to mark
a cross before or after the name of each
candidate for whom you desire to vote. II
this is done there can be no possibility of
a mistake.
Section 3s5. Volume 1, Hills Code, pro-
vides that any elector who desires to
vote for an entire group may make a
cross against the political designation
of such group, and shall then be
deemed 10 have voted for all
the persons named in such group whose
names shall not have been erased" In all
former elections held under the present
law a ticket. marked as above directed.
Was counted as vote for every candidate
on the ticket so marked. 1t has, however.
been considered by some to be the safer
plan 10 put a cross or mark after each
name on the ticket, as follows:

yearly.
Second-It has saved him home market
for his tobacco worth 81, ooo, 900 year.
Third-On his potatoes 3 home market

Fifth-To the raiser Of fruit in this coun-
try 8 market at home for his productions
of a valuation of S., 250. 900 every year.
If the Mckinley bill does not protect
American wool prices, why has the price
OF wool fallen of in the London market
since January, 1890, over 81 per cent,
while the fall on American wool In this
country has been only per cent?
Reciprocity has done q good deal for the
raiser Of farm products. Mr.. Blaine In
the North American Rerie,r for November
cites the story of its remarkable success in
Cuba. Mr.. Blaine says:
Statistics in the state department show that
for the first half of 1892 sent sS7 900 barrels OF
-four to Cubs, making for the whole year GA 600
barrels. During the same period OF 1881 We sent
only II, 900 barrels, or average for the year OF
$500 barrels. A trade OF $500, 900 In -four,
when we had not more than &l75.o00. IL not q
bad showing for the frss year OF reciprocity.
For the year ending August 81 our total ex-
ports 20 Cuba were SIC, ,o0o, and for the sams
period the preceding year they were 81, 800 600.
an increase, il will be observed, of Is per cent
Another year will show greater gains.
OF the gain of about 5000, 900 in Cuban
trade, 81 ,000, 900 was in -four and nearly
100000 in provisions-three-four Of
the increase. therefore. was in products Of
the farm; and the same thing is true, Mr..
Blaine says, in equal or greater ratio, of
the increase caused by reciprocity treaties
with other countries.
