man is dyed-in-the-w"ol, bitter, I'M
compromising republican and q lawyer
almost wholly without practice or ex-
perience. Billie Steele is good law
yer and thoroughly competent. More
than that, he is an unAinching demo
crat who has always worked for the
party. He has done more work and
raised more money for the democratic
party in the last five years than any
other man in Pettis county. He has
borne the brunt of the city campaigns
in Se,lalia for democracy for years
past and at every county election for
a number of years he has been called
upon to raise the funds for the party.
He has always responded willingly to
every call with earnest, hard, success
full work. He is democrat, tried
and true. He was born a democrat.
His father before him was a demo-
crat. If YOU think of scratching
Billie Steele for an incorporating
republican like Louis Hoffman, think
of these things before you vote and
think well before YOU act.

Gov. Flower spoke the exact truth
when he said that the nomination of
Grover Cleveland under the circum-
stances existing in the Chicago con-
vention had put the democratic party
of New York ION its mettle." 1t
never had better chance to prove its
faith in the good old democratic doc
trine that the will of the majority
must be considered as the will Of all
and he loyalty supported by all. If
this is not democratic doctrine there is
none and the party might as well die.
But all signs indicate that this princi-
pie will receive this year the most
complete and conclusive testimony to
its validity that the country has ever
known. The democratic mettle is an
invincible spirit. From the harmony
that has been brought about by wis
dom and devotion to the democratic
cause in this campaign there is reason
to hope for less differences in the flu
tere than have existed in the past.

Party organs and protection tracts
have bristled with figures designed TO
convince workingmen that the wages
have advanced and farmers that prices
have risen. Now, on this point wage
earners and farmers are better ill.,
formed than the politicians. Their
source of information is the payroll
and the markets. Every working
man knows whether his wages are
better or worse than they were and
whether the cost of living is higher ar
lower. Every farmer knows whether
he gets more or less for hi, products
now than he did. And whatever may
be the facts, every intelligent wage
Garner and farmer has his own opinion
a To whether protection has been to
him boon or burden.

A Natural Incubator.

The officers and men Of the United
States cutter Rush relate marvellous
tales of wondrous discoveries made by
them during their 1890 cruise. They
dredged for deep sea oddities In the al-
most fathomless "sinks" of the Pacifics
bed. They collected marine alge 80
delicate in figure that it took the finest
microscopes to bring out even the coars-
est outlines, leaving the minute fibers as
a hazy mist on the vision, and finally
outdid themselves by getting fine

the belief that some of the supposed
antediluvian monsters are still in ex-
istence.
But the feat of which they seem
proudest vas the discovery of natural
incubator ON the sides of the volcano

and other sea birds deposit their eggs

A Land of Plenty.

tAir-"The Ninety and Nine."l
Oh, there's plenty, they say, in all the land,
Too much to cat and to wear;
Yet children hunger on every hand
And shiver in winter air,
And the scepter Of Want stalks grim and bare
In the midst of abundance everywhere.
There are ships that bulge with their precious
freight,
And oceans of grain in store,
And the finest of raiment piled on shelves
That groan as they wait for more;
There are orchards and fields with their fruits
galore,
But these are not for the starving poor.
There are acres broad unvexed by the plow,
And forest and mountain glen,
But the pauper lies with fevered brow,
Low locked in the city's den,
For these are not for the women and men
Who stifie and die in nameless pain.
The noise of a commerce that knows no bounds
Roars out through the busy land,
While Lazarus walks on his weary rounds
With idle and empty hands;
And the army of need In Its misery stands
And wishes for work and houses and lands.
With cruel letters the favored few
Have fastened the hand of trade;
The Law protects" with its dread taboo
The men who have millions made;
AND the people In fear gaze on, afraid
To loosen the anxious hand of trade.
Let the people hope, for man of might
Shall shatter the fetters strong.
See, Grover Cleveland shall lead the fight;
And this shall be all our song:
Wen sweep all classes from land to sea,
And men and women shall yet be free.

Their Tune Has Changed.

Republican leaders ought to feel q lit
tie cheap themselves to be telling their
followers that things have never been 81
cheap as now, when not many months
ago their present chief, whom they SO
stoutly profess to worship, expressed
great contempt for cheap things, saying
that when you see a cheap coat "you
generally expect to find a cheap man un.
der it." Now the tune appears to run the
other way, and to insist that the Nc.
Kinley bill has rather depressed prices
made them cheaper instead of making
them dearer, as it was planned to do.
and as it has undoubtedly done.-Port-

A SENSIBLE MOVE.
Now York Republican Ex-Assemblyman an
Becomes Democrat.

A Now York Republican EI-Assemblyman
Becomes a Democrat.
d. Morgan Hildreth, who was elected
to the assembly last year by the Repub-
licans of the Twenty-first district, has
written letter to John Proctor Clarke,
president of the Republican organiza-
ton of that district, in which he says:
"Permit me to tender to the Repub-
hcan organization through you my resig-
nation as member thereof. Up to the
present time have actively co-operated
with Republicans, and in so doing was
actuated by belief that the platform
of the two great parties represented the
sincere principles of government which
We're placed in issue in each succeeding
election.
81 realize that l have received at the
hands of the Republican organization
of the Twenty-irst election district the
highest honor it had to confer in my
nomination and election as member of
assembly from that district, one of the
few Republican organizations in the
city of New York capable of so honoring
one of its constituents.
81 have certainly naught to complain
Of in the treatment | have received at
the hands of the leaders of the district.
For all favors bestowed upon me 1 am
sincerely grateful. have come to be-
lieve, however, the fact to be that the
professions of the Republican party are
insincere, and that the platforms adopt
ed in the past have been adopted solely
with view of inducing such enthusi-
astic theorists as myself to swear allie
glance to that party.
Therefore l now retire from what
seems to me to be a field of hypocrisy to
which was allured by Establishments,
misstatements and deception. The only
issue that recognized in the years that
have actively participated in politics
as existing between the two dominant
political parties was that of protection.
l believed in it on principle. believe
in it today, provided that its attendant
advantages can be made universal and
not special"
Mr.. Hildreth goes on to say that the
protective system as applied TO manu-
facturers and laborers gives the former
all advantages through the increased
prices they are able to charge for ar
ticles, and that the wages of workmen
are not correspondingly increased. He
concludes:
"My allegiance to the Republican
party in the past has been induced by
exaction of conscience, and now retire
from that party because of the fact that
1 have learned from experience to know
and believe in its absolute insincerity

New Jersey and the Conspirators.

When the coal conspirators formed
their combination they did so in con
scious violation of law. They made
confession of this when they lobbied 8
bill through the New Jersey legislature
to legalize their lawless conspiracy
against the public welfare.
Now that the courts have pronounced
their agreement unlawful and void, and
have issued an injunction forbidding
further proceedings under it, the con-
spirators assume an attitude of defiance,
and their chief, Mcleod, arrogantly
announces that
This cannot have the effect of chang
ing or disarranging our traffic arrange
are so obviously advantageous to both
parties that neither could afford to in
terrupt or change them.
That is to say, the fleeing of the
public by an illegal combination of cor
porations is found to be so profitable to
all who share in the robbery that they
have no notion of submitting themselves
even to the peremptory DEGREES of the
courts, but intend to go on breaking the
law. And so they add another % cents
to the price of coal.
But the matter is, fortunately, not
altogether in their hands. Attorney
General Stockton is preparing to bring
suit against another of the offending
corporations, and Gov. Albeit declares
that he will summon the legislature to
deal with the problem if the defiance of
the law continues.
This is plainly what ought to be done.
The state of New Jersey can no more
afford to permit this combination of
capitalists to twiddle their fingers at the
courts than to allow like privilege of
defiance to any more violent gang of
aw-breakers.-N. Y. World.

How Much Do You Get2

Mr.. Carnegie draws 81 100000 year
as his part of the profits of the iron bust
ness-that is, he gains every second
ninety-fve cents; every minute, $40;
every hour, $343.40; every day, 81, 100. So;
every week, $2S, ,s46.5O; every month,
$125,00O. How much do you get out of
the tariff? Let every man answer this
question for himself, remembering that
every dollar Carnegie makes is pure
bounty, according to the statement of
the protectionists, because, if they tell
the truth, manufactures would not pay
at all in this country but for this blessed
tariff.-Salem IN, Co. Peoples Press.

The statement that tariff for reve-
nue. CONFINES the dutiable list to non
competitive products" is a false deini
ton. The Democratic platform ad-
vances no such theory. The Democratic
candidate in his celebrated message to
congress clearly stated that he favored
such an adjustment of the tariff as
would conserve the interests of Ameri-
can manufacturing and American labor.
At Madison Square garden he said:
"Ours is not destructive party. We
are not at enmity with the rights of
any of our citizens. All are our coun-
trymen. We are not recklessly heed
less Of any American interests, nor will
we abandon our regard for them. ."-Ex-

Protecting American Labor.

Scarcely an immigrant ship comes
from Europe that does not contain her
quota of imported laborers, and it is
this system of importation that causes
80 much decentralization of labor and
distress at times in the mining regions
of Pennsylvania. AS soon as the i'm
ported laborers understand their rights
and threaten to strike in defense of
them, southern Europe is drawn upon
for fresh importation, and thus the
supply is kept constantly in excess of
the demand. d.-Philadelphia Record.

The workingmen of this country, re-
marked Senator Hale a few days ago,
were never SO contented and well paid
as now. The total number Of locked
out and striking employees throughout
the country, says Bradstreet's, increased
last week from about 10000 to 100, 900.
Everybody knows the comparative value
OF the two authorities in these two cases.
The American workingmen are as a rule
very'comfortably circumstanced in these
times, but the Mckinley tariff can hardly
be said to have raised them all into a
perfect paradise of contentment and
prosperity. y.|PrOVidence Journal.

LUzERNE Republicans will make an
effort tomorrow to nominate a ticket
that will beat the one put in the field
last Tuesday by the Democrats. We
don't believe they can do it, but there is
no harm in their getting together every
year and counting how many active
members are left in the party. The
number of enthusiasts is dwindling
down year after year, and the voters of
the county hope the delegates will select
men who will make some shape at fight
ing, There is not much glory in walk
over, and the Democratic candidates
will welcome spirited campaign.
Nominate men who think they will win.

pointed. Luzerne Republicans are used
to that.

Republican politicians are unanimous
in declaring that protection has had
nothing to do with the Homestead wage
reductions and the strike in which thou
sands there are concerned, yet they are
embracing every opportunity-andt they
are very few-to announce an advance
in wages, which of course is due to the
Mckinley act Over 500 wage reduc-
tions in protected industries have been
reported, and it will be strange if few
cases could not be found where wages
had been advanced; but The American
Economist, which has been searching
high and low, has been about as un-
fortunate as Ex-Governor Campbell, of
Ohio, who has not found single in
stance where wages have been advanced
because of the Mckinley tariff act.
Inc American Economist alleges that
that 1t has found such cases, but un-
fortunately they are not such as to stand
criticism. On July 22, for the third or
fourth time, The Economist announced
that there had been general increase
OF per cent. in the wages of the en-
ployees of the Kings County Knitting
company in Brooklyn. A man was sent
to investigate this case. After much
trouble and search he at last heard that
the company was located in the suburbs
OF Brooklyn; reaching there he found
that the firm had removed to another
remote corner of the same city. At last
he found the great concern in the top
floor of building. 1t consisted of three
men and ten to fifteen girls. The pro-
prietor, who happened to be on hand,
could remember of no advance in wages
until reminded of The American Econ
omist's announcement. Three of the
girls were also seen; each declared that
there had been no advance in wages to
her knowledge, but that they were earn
ing less than in previous years.
The search will be continued and it is
hoped that more favorable reports may
be made, though the outlook is not
promising.

IT is reported that the Democratic
candidate for congress, while making a
canvass for his nomination throughout
the lower end, came in contact with a
gentleman in town near Freeland, and
was quietly drawn into discussion OF
the tariff question. Mr.. Hines, it is
said, in endeayoring to explain its in
tracacies, asserted that the Democratic
platform did not mean anything like
free trade and that American industries
should be accorded sufficient "protec-
ton" to maintain themselves. His
statements were something like this, but
as.the exact words are not obtainable
just now it would be well to postpone
any criticism until further investigation
The report, however, that Hines is a
protectionist has been freely circulated
and few words from the candidate as
to his position upon the tariff would re-
move large doubt that exists in this
vicinity. We do not believe that the
ex-senator has been in politics so long
without having had his eyes opened on
this question, and we trust he will be
no way backward in repudiating the
statementss accredited to him. 1t is
with great difficulty the Democrats of
this section can be induced to swallow
even tariff-for-revenue candidates, and
they will certainly draw the line ON any
one tainted with protection ideas.

Hon. Roswell G.. Horr said some time
ago in the New York Tribune that "the
tariff Is levied in the first place simply
to enable the people of the United States
to pay the high wages everywhere pre-
vailing in this country" Yes, it may
enable some of our manufacturers to
pay higher wages, but they seldom do
so. They have other uses for the bonus
which protection puts into their pockets
some of it goes for castles in Europe
and some to hire Pinkertons to compel
workmen to accept lower wages, but
the largest portion of all is invested in
lands, stocks and first mortgage bonds
to enrich the tariff benefciaries and an
mex them to our army of millonaires,
which has increased 10000 per cent.
since high protection began thirty years
ago. The portion that reaches the wage
earners, even in second handed way,
could be carried with safety in tissue
paper purse. Perhaps Mckinley was
right when he said at Providence last
April that mo one ever claimed that
protective tariffs We're intended to in
crease wages" 1t was only intended,
as Mr.. Horr explained, to enable higher
wages to be paid. There is sharp dis
tinction here which has caused consid-
cradle misunderstanding. 1t will be
well for wage earners to make a note of
it for future use.
