these facts is, what do they prove?
Every now and then the Minneapolis
Tribune, an unintelligent champion of
protectionism, publishes long list of
things which it claims are cheaper to-
day than they were before the Nc KIN
LEY bill was enacted. 1t chuckles a
great deal over them, as though they
were Of much value to the cause it has
at heart. No doubt its spirits are
highly elated also by this wool-growing
instance, which the GLOBE here quotes.
But 1t never informs its readers the
reason for its qualification.
If the tariff has depressed the prices
of goods in America, how has it helped
the pockets Of producers? Would it
not be better for the Ohio farmers to
receive 81 cents pound for wool, and
have no protective tariff OH this COM
modify, than to enjoy the blessings of
protectionism and get only 25 cents a
pound? And. if McKinleyism has low
cred the selling price of everything I'M
der the sun, is it not guilty of the aw-
full crime against our rational indus
tries which it is daily prophesied
would attend the introduction of rev.
enue tariff? According to President
HARRISON, cheap goods are menace
to American institutions, because they
mean cheap men. Is not the Minneap-
oils Tribune little disloyal to manifest
so much glee over its list of cheapened
products?

THE G. @. M. ON TOP.

There are undoubted difficulties in
GladStone'S way. but, measured by the
weak frame of mind displayed by his
opponents, he ought to find strength
enough to overcome such winners
Pittsburg Dispatch.
United action has ousted Toryism

Mr.. Gladstone will find many lions in
his path this time, but there is every
reason to believe that his position grows
daily stronger, and that he may succeed
in passing home rule bill that will set
the Irish question at rest in England for
generation.-Philade Inquirer.
Mr.. Gladstone's policy is really more
explicit than that Of most parliamentary
leaders when they take Office. 1t i'll
cludeS home rule and the Newcastle
platform. 1t is true enough that the de-
tails of the home rule bill are not an
nounced, but it is also true that an in

right TO be consulted, will be of immense

enters upon the preparation Of home

joy all the vantage ground of power,
and can use all the persuasive arguments
open to premier. These are advan-

the loose and undisciplined character of

FOR PRESIDENT
GROVER CLEVELAND,
FOR VICE PRESIDENT,
ADLkl E. STEVENSON.
OETARIO,S BLUEE.

A new danger threatens Uncle SAM.
The poor old gentleman is getting his
inotfensive, claw-hammer coat tails
stepped on from all directions in most
distressing fashion. First those blood
thirsty. bulldozing, terrifying Chilians
came at him, and directly he gets out of
that Scrape here comes Canada with a
chip Oh her shoulder. Moreover, Can
ada doesn't propose to wait a week
while he drinks beef tea and gets
strong. She meanly proposes to thrash
our Uncle SAMUEL clean out of his
boots before he says ready" She
sees in the little family jars in which
the old gentleman is just now mixed up
an opportunity for foreign aggression.
and she basely proposes TO utilize this
unfair advantage. The Weekly Warder,
published at Lindsay. Victoria county,
Ontario. gives the whole dreadful
scheme away, as follows:
If we must fight. why as we'll now as
again. The whole Yankee nation is disor-
gained; capital versus labor. negro versus
white, Cinnamon versus ali others; Irish,
Hungarian, Poles, Italians, Germans, all for
elgn, are in most instances, as managed i'll
the United States, dangerous elements. That
nation, with population of 65.000OO0. could
not put as many good fighting men into the
field as the Province of Ontario alone Three
fourths of their troops would be wanted at
home 10 keep the hordes from robbing those
homes.
Isn't this truly terrifying! Think of
this unhappy country practically at
the mercy of 1.-THE Province of Ontario
alone?" Can't something be done to
appease Ontario's wrath? 1t gives us
cold chills to think what she might do
II she did all she thinks she can do.
But, say, if Ontarioi is really in earnest
about it, why not match Delaware
against her in a finish fight, go-as-you-
please rules? Or. better still, Uncle
SAM might give the word to either his
irish, Hungarian, Polish, Italian, Ger
man, Scandinavian or African nepheWs,
and they would take the greatest pleas
ure imaginable in thrashing all Canada
for the honor of Columbia, the beloved
land of their adoption.

AN UNEQUAL CONTEST

Mr.. LOWRY has a big advantage in
this contest with the board of aldermen.
He has large pecuniary interest in the
result, and can afford to give his time to
its settlement. He can afford, also, to
hire talent to help him, and to pay his
assistants adequate compensation. 1t is
not a side issue with him. 1t is his
principal business. There are no dis
sensions or differences of opinion in his
camp. He knows what he wants, and
he works for it intelligently, persist
emily and tactfully.
An alderman gets no salary at all
worth mentioning, and his mind is
mainly occupied with matters of his
own concern. He devotes, of necessit Y,
most of his working hours to his shop
or office, and only his leisure to his Off
cial duties. If he is Well-infOrmed
citizen he has general idea of the sub
ject in dispute, but he has no special
knowledge of it. He may be conscien-
tious enough, but he cannot fully in
form himself without personal sacri-
| fee which he may well hesitate about
making.
The consequence of all this is that
! either the city's share in such battles is
badly fought. or some one or two men
| throw themselves in the breach and give
| their time to its direction, no matter
| what the cost to them. They will con-
| tribute month or six weeks to

the railway company's employees re-
celve perhaps several thousand dollars
| for handling. They will labor with
their colleagues to put little sense in
| their foolish heads. burn the midnight
oil in preparation for a meeting with
the opposite side, and in the actual
fight need and display the highest quail
| tiles of mind and character. After doing
this again aud again for couple of
| years they will wake up some morning
and find that the dear public has gotten
tired of them and defeated them in their
! aspirations for a reelection. And yet a
! great many men are actually ambitious
| for seat in the common council.

TROOPS ASSIGNED.
Freight Begins t, Move Under
Protection

Protection.
BUFFALO, Aug. 19.-AS the day closes
the troops have reached nearly all the
posts assigned, and even this afternoon
the Lehigh and Erie have begun
in earnest the resumption OF
their freight traffic. The Lake Shore
has new men and is waiting until it
knows that absolute protection is at
hand before clearing its yards. This
work will be commenced in dead earnest
tomorrow. 1t is clear now that while
the soldiery is here the roads will be
able to resume, and continue their
freight traffic. Should the strike be ex-
tended East and West, then complica-
lions would arise that can be met and
measured only when they have arrived.
1t tranSplreS chat the Erie company
yesterday run its pay ear through East
Buffalo into the yards at Louisiana
street. Evidently the strikers had been
notified to report there for their pay
and discharge. The men gathered with
Out demonstration about the car, being
held away some distance. however, by
at least 200 troops who surrounded il.
A passage was made by two lines OF
soldiers ana through this passageway
the men were permitted to pass up to
the pay window, where they received
their envelopes III grim silence and
turned away. The pay ear OF the Lee
high Valley rolled up TO the station at
Williams street this afternoon. The
strikers were waiting here. The car
was surrounded by a number of troops
and the men were admitted to receive
their pay. The Lackawanna company
also paid Off its employees today.

WISCONSIN.

Until two years ago Wisconsin was
elassed as almost invincibly Republican.
The magnificent Democratic victory of
1890 placed the state in the doubtful
column. 1t may now be removed from
that column and classed as safely Demo-
cratic.
BY pacing JOHN c. SPooNEg at the
head of their state ticket, Wisconsin
Republicans have shut themselves out
from any hope of reprieve from the
sentence of popular condemnation
passed upon them two years ago. They
have enrolled themselves under the
banner of professional lobbyist, cor
poration agent and itching politician
Overwhelmingly fepudiated by his state
two years ago, when Democratic legis-
lature was elected to choose his success
sor in the United States senate. JOHN
c. SPooNER is fitted only to lead
his party in Wisconsin to fresh
defeat and humiliation as its guber-
material candidate. The man of whom
his own party organ, the Milwaukee
Sentinel, confessed that he had been
known 'for many years past as the chief
of the corporation lobbyists in Madison''
is not the Moses to lead Wisconsin Re
publicans out of the wilderness.
On the tariff and the school issues
HOARD and SPOoNER were defeated in
Wisconsin two years ago, and on these
same issues HARRISON and SPooNER
will be defeated in Wisconsin next No
vember. The national Democracy is
now enlisted with Wisconsin Democrats
in the battle for parental rights and
rights of conscience in the education of
Children" in behalf of which. as an ''es-
sential to civil and religious liberty -
the Chicago platform makes a ringing
declaration.
Gov. PECK will be his own success
sor, and the electoral vote of Wisconsin
will be cast for the Democratic presi-
Dental ticket.

THE REASON FOE STRIKES

One feature of the present labor
troubles has excited much surprise and
comment. When the facts about the
condition of the disconnected are pub
lished it frequently appears that, if the
truth is told, the strikers receive good
wages and enjoy a considerable degree
Of personal prosperity. This is not
always the case, but where 1t is people
wonder at their attitude and try in vain
to find any justification for their COM
plants.
Dissatisfaction with ones lot is as
often the evidence of an unhealthy men,
tai state as it is the result of actual suf-
fering. A feeling of revolt, resentment
and envy has taken possession of MANY
of the laboring class in this country,
and they are abnormally sensitive to
what they regard as oppression. and
quick TO insist on getting their full DUE
They are suspicious of the fairness of
their employers, and watch every move
they make lest it forebode some disaster
for them.
This is unfortunate, but inevitable in
view of the character of our national
industrial development. The growth
OF enormous and strongly intrenched
fortunes has divided our people into
social grades out of sympathy with
each other and constantly growing fur
ther apart. Our legislation has been
such as to encourage the consolidation
Of business enterprises. Every COM
modify is produced on large scale by
few establishments, and their power
forbids the competition of the humble
artisan.
Men of genius do pass over the bar
riers thus set and prove superior to the
difficulties of the achievement. But for
the average individual, with no greater
equipment than industry and earnest
ness, there is only the most limited prog
ress possible. From among these come
the leaders and promoters of unreason-
able strikes. They see their fellows
possessed of great wealth and living in
comfort and luxury. Their instincts of
rebellion are reused by the contrast
with the hopelessness OF their own posi-
ton. We shall have to face such ex-
periences as we now witness in New
York and Pennsylvania for many years
to come. because the Inequalities of
fortune i'll America are fixed and per-
manent. Any remedy will be only par
tiai. Ii we change our laws we may
diminish the evil. But never again shall

DEvoNsHIRE'S ROMANCE.

The Duke of Devonshire has at length
married the lady whose name has been
compromised with his own for many
years. His conduct in doing what he
can to preserve her reputation indicates
that he has some traits of genuine no
biiity.-New York Press.
The marriage of the Duke of Devon
shire with the Duchess of Manchester is

TO EMANCIPATE MINNEsorA.

| The Worlds campaign fund for the
emancipation of the West is growing
daily by the help of countless number
of small contributors. The projectors
of the enterprise have wisely made its
| popular feature prominent one, and
| vigorously invite the cooperation OF the
| poorest. This gives value to the move
ment. even though it should not effect
the result in a single one of the states
for which 1t is principally designed.
Every man who gives a dollar, or half
that sum to the cause, becomes iden-
| titled with it and interested in its sue
cess. He subscribes, as it were, to tn g
stock OF the project, and will promote
its advancement to the best of his power
with the zeal of an investor. 1t IS re-
markable how much even a small pecu-
mary outlay will accomplish in this di-
rection.
The Democracy needs to do some
thing Of the same character in Mime
sofa. The CHER difficulty it has to con-
tend with is Indifference. The average
citizen in this region does not care any,
thing about politics. He does not argue
and debate and feel deeply over party
questions, as is usual in the East His
participation in elections IS dull for
mality, performed without much ref1ec-
ton. and shaped by habit rather than
conviction. The work of the hour here
to popularize politics, to arouse peo-
pie to sense of their Importance, to
break the crust of custom and routine
which has enveloped our local methods
OF thought. We have never had ii real
campaign in Minnesota. We are going
to have one this year. Orators of pow
er and strength will he heard OH the
stump. Every form of legitimate eff
fort to influence votes will be eXerted.
Our state central committee has the
matter well in hand. But it wants
help. Let every Democrat who has an
idea which he thinks will be useful,
make it known. There is plenty of
room for the ingenious and the invent
i've. Let every Democrat be alert to
make converts and to report the places
where he feels that work would count.
The eyes. Of the country are fixed on
the Northwest. Let us make brave
struggle to emancipate Minnesota.

WHAT Do THEY PROVE

There is a paragraph going the
round of the papers to this effect: In
1867 JOHN SHERMAN, in order to in
gratiate himself with the Ohio wool
growers, had protective tariff put on
wool. At that time the commodity sold
for 81 cents pound. Since then the
tariff has been constantly increased, but
the price of wool has as constantly de-
clined. until now it brings only half of
what it commanded quarter of a cent
ury ago.
The interesting inquiry suggested by
