"Whosoever proyldetn not for his own

These women belong to households
which are not provided for. They
live in free trade England. The men
in their families are not lawless nor in
different to their comfort. They cannot
with all their efforts earn enough money
to provide for the mere sustenance of
those whom they love and would cherish.
But they are not 70 be blamed. for the
free trade laws by which they are gov
erned bring these results.
The American man Of family has a
graver responsibility. He makes his
own laws.
The election of Grover Cleveland
would imperil the home Of tine American
workingman and those whom h. has
vowed to care for in sickness or in death.

PoPULISTs SUPPORT HARRISON.


Mrs. Lease Recommends This In View Of
Southern Treatment Of Weaver.
A special to the Democratic New York
Times from Topeka, Kan. says:
The sensation of the day in Kansas Is
the interview with Mrs. Lease. who has
been accompanying General Weaver IN
his tour through the southern states.
She recites the indignities they were
subjected to and then declares that II q
vote for Weaver is in reality a vote for
Cleveland in this state her desire is that
the Populists scratch their ticket and
vote for the Harrison electors.
Mrs. Lease Is, next to Jerry Simpson.
the strongest leader of the Kansas Popu-
lists, and her expressed wishes have
caused great CONSERVATION not only in
her own party, but among the Demo
Gratis.
She comedies every southern state 70
Cleveland. and therefore at this late day
indicates her preference for Harrison.
Her advice will be followed by many,
but at this time it is impossible to say to
what extent.

and there was such n wonderful display
Of that energy and force Of character
natural to the woman that DIR. Bromley
was fairly startled. With strong and
steady voice she called out:
Then there has been nothing heard
from the DreadnauGht since you made
search for her?'
Nothing" replied Mr.. Hollister.
And you look upon her as lost2T
"Yes-lostl''
Nor not a word from John nor from
any man in his crew?"
Not word, my dear Molly; we have
given up all hope"
"All hopper she queried In a tone
that seemed almost tinged with irony.
As she had uttered these words, she
had risen from the sofa and stood with
her right hand stretched out towards
the window through which the ocean
was visible. Mr.. Hollister and DIR.
Bromley followed her movements with
a secret dread, fearing that the worst
had come But Molly's face was not
that Of g lunatic. It was lighted up
with glow OF her great soul
"Al hope?" she repeated You say
you have given up all hope? But, Mr..
Hollister, II you look upon John as lost,
do notl Without him this fortune
viii be but dross in my eyes ! shall
consecrate II 10 the search Of John and
his companions of the Dreadnaught!
And with Gods help shall find them;
yes, shall find them"
(To BE CoSrIyUED.)
But, my dear, what has tina: old man
to recommend himself aside from his
riches?"

RUSK ON THE TARIFF.

At the same time think II will very

comparatively the same conditions. Will

the conditions are such, for instance. Ii

ENGLAND PLEASED.
But America is not planning to please
her.

Commenting upon the tariff
plank in the Democratic platform
the Liverpool Journal Of Conn.,
nlerce says:
There are few of us in England
who would go further than this,
and the Democratic party in the
States may rest assured that if
English sympathy could carry the
election of Grover Cleveland in
November the White House
would be theirs. We shall watch
the development of the struggle
with the keenest interest, and even
if the triumph be not attained, all
at once there is indeed reason for
congratulation that one of the
great American parties has made
Free Trade, pure and simple, the
great battle cry of the future.

STRIKES AND LOCkOUTS.

There was a time when strikes
were very rare, indeed. 1t was
when capital owned labor and kept
it in subsection and on the verge
Of starvation. Slaves can't strike.
Education and enlightenment
taught labor its own power, then
it struck for greater liberty. Great
er liberty caused it to strike for
greater pay. With greater pay
came increased opportunities for
intellectual Improvement, and Or
ganization followed.
Now with united front working
men pressed on for greater and
ever greater concessions from their
employers, which granted, feed
their desire for more. From the
defensive they now take the often
sive, demanding instead of intreat-
ing.
That is the way they do in this
country, because here the laborer
has been elevated to the plane of
the capitalist, enjoying greater
liberty and receiving higher wages
than anywhere else on earth.
1t is not so in other countries.
In India and China and Russia
strikes are even now as seldom
heard of as they were among the
ancestors of our American work
ingmen 500 years ago, when they
wore the collars of their Lords.
Labor is too week and servile to
strike in those countries.
AS we ascend the scale of en-
lightenment and liberty, we find
labor organizations and labor dis
turbances becoming ever more and
more frequent. In Spain labor
strikes sometimes. In Germany
it strikes more frequently. In
France still more frequently.
If to better the condition of the
working people, to point the way
to education, to greater liberty and

This is the record made by the
Democratic party wherever it has
unlimited control-whether in the
South; in New York City; in New
Jersey; in Indianapolis; in Cincin-
natl; in Chicago; or in Milwaukee.
Wherever it has the chance to
steal votes it steals them; to stuff
ballot boxes it stuhs them; and il
that does not suffice it will murder

velop the genius for intelligent or
ganization among them, and thus
to lift them from a position of ser
vile dependence on their masters

strikes and lockouts, then does

is left to the unrestricted right OF
voting as his judgment shall
dictate. And when his vote has
been deposited in the ballot box
he entertains no misgiving or
anxiety that it will not be faithfully
counted and that his wishes-so
expressed-will be carried into
effect to the full extent of his vote.
The right of franchise is accepted
as we accept the gifts of Nature,
without thought or question, as
something about which there is
no room for argument or dispute.
Political parties in this County
are nearly equally divided. AT
the last presidential election there
were 4SI votes cast for Cleveland
and 4oI for Harrison; and as you
look about you and mentally note:
This man is a Democrat"-"That
man Republican" you find that
they are both equally good citizens
Just and honorable and upright in
all the relations of life. You hear
it said: There's no particular diff
erence between parties-one is as
good or as bad as the other" and
the natural tendency is to sustain
by your vote that party to which
your father belonged-into which
you originally drifted without
consideration, and in which you
have remained by force Of associ-
alton and habit. We freely admit
that SO far as regards Grand
Rapids, Or Wood County there is
no material difference in the
character of the voting elements
of the two great political parties
But, a vote cast in Wood County
in national election has a wide
reaching influence. You no longer
conhne its effect to your immediate
locality; you are one of some
thirteen millions of voters who
will shape legislation for the mex
four years. 1t is, manifestly, 0
the last Importance that the will Q
the voter should be as Influential
in one part of the country as il
the other, and whatever tends It
disarrange this equality-whereve
fraud or violence or terrorism i
brought into play to that exten
are the rights Of the voter il
Wood County invaded.
