The Consume er's Interests.

1t is only natural, if amusing, that the
high tariff organs which haye been con-
veTted to the doctrine that cheapness is
a good thing should frequently relapse
into their former evil ways of life and
speech. The Tribune backslides and
talks in the good old way about "the
selfish interests of the consumer" Now
the consumer is very easy person to
abuse. He has no ''pull." He does not
lift up his voice in the streets. AS a
lobbyist he cuts no figure. He never
visits party managers and threatens them
with defeat. He simply goes on his sell
fish, groveling way and drops in his vote
against the party that treats him as its
slaiYfui prey. AndAas his class is by far
the most numerous. its votes have way
of piling up alarringly. Yet it is great
fun TO sneer at him, he is so uncomplain.
ing. In fact, if only he were not allowed
to vote, and were not so persistent in
asking when the consumer was going to
get his share of protection, more ideal
butt for politicians could not be imag-

NO TAFFY FOR LABOR.
A Comparison Between Harrison's Ad-
ministratiOn and Cleveland's.

A Comparison Between HarrisOn's Ad-
ministratiOn and Cleveland's.
The National Glass Budget, Of Pitts
burg, which is the leading labor paper
for the glass industries, in discussing
President Harrison's letter of accept
ance, says: "His taffy as to the happi-
ness and prosperity of the working peo-
pie under the beneficial tariff laws is
best answered by the thirteen mills in
operation in this city and vicinity which
will not allow union workingman to
obtain employment"
The Gazette then proceeds to make
comparison between the condition of
labor under Harrison's administration
and under that Of Cleveland, as follows:
With all this screed the fact sticks
out quite patent that with four years of
Harrison's administration we have gone
through the worst and most depressing
financial period experienced in this
country for years. Strikes, lockouts
and disturbances of all kinds, lower
wages, loss of employment and in many
cases nearly starvation have been the
fate of working people who resisted the
OilOi oo W iCuCCC WdS,Oo. u0
contrary of this was true of Cleve-
lands administration. This country
had four years of the best times ever
experienced in its history. Labor had
steady employment, wages were in
creased right along and the merchant
and manufacturer found ready and
profitable sale for their goods; peace and
contentment; no strikes, no labor dis
turbances, 10 riots; law and order was
observed, as labor was receiving its just
reward.
No sooner was Harrison inaugurated
than speculation was the order of the
day, followed by tight panic worse
than 1878 while it lasted. We have had
railroad, rolling mill and glasshouse
strikes, and all these disturbances oc-
CURED during Harrison's administra-
ton. And yet he tells us the country is
prosperous. If such is the case how does
it come that the militia was called out
in four states to suppress riots if the
country was prosperous, contented and
happy?

Experience with Tin Plato Prices

John t. Wilson, Of jamestown, N. Y.
has found out by experience the falsity
of the Republican claim that the Nc.
Kinley law has not increased the price
of tin plates. A paper of that town
says:
Three years ago Mr. Wilson covered
one of his buildings with a tin roof. The
material used was the 80. So roofing
tin of the N. & G.. Taylor brand, and it
cost Mr.. Wilson just So. % per square for
his completed tin roof
Mr.. Wilson concluded, a few days ago,
that he needed new tin roof on his
mill. He went to the dealer who placed
the roof on his building three years ago,
and found that instead of 1926 per square
he must now pay 1925 per square for
the same brand of 80. S." N. & G..
Taylor tin. Mr.. Wilson conferred with
other dealers and found that the lowest
price he could obtain was $725 per
square. No claim was made by any of
them that there had been any change in
the price of the work of putting the roof
ing on, but the advance two dollars per
square was due entirely to the advance
of tin.
Mr.. Wilson will require twenty seven
squares of tin roof, which, at an ad-
vance of two dollars per square since
the passage of the Mckinley law, will
compel him to pay fifty-four dollars
more for his tin roof than it would have
cost him three years ago.

fortunate, but deny that it can be in
terpreted to give the general govern
ment control over an election in a SOW
ereign state. In an almost impossible
emergency, in the event of some state
not sending representatives to congress,
the general government might arrange
for an election in that state. In every
complicated machine are valves which
are used only in dire emergency, and
the constant use of which would destroy
the machine. For 1O1 years this valve
OF the government machine had never
once been touched until our Republican
friends sought to lay unholy hands upon
1t in time of peace and in the midst of
quiet. Patriots may well tremble when
they realize how near it came to falling
into those same hands.
GUARD THE CONSTITUTION.
How can any citizen hesitate when
confronted by issues like these, which in
volve the integrity of the constitution?
No man is bad enough, no organized So
ciety is bold enough, to announce with
drawn sword that the constitution has
outlived its time and that freedom must
again be put in chains. The hostile ap-
proach to the stronghold of liberty is by
unseen and underground mines. Let us
be mindful of the solemn instruction of
our leaders to guard well the consti-
tution-let there ring in our ears the
philosophical teachings of Jefferson, the
strong injunctions of jackson, the
thoughtful messages of Tilden, and, in
these present days, the courageous sum-
mons to be true and steadfast coming
from that man whose clean and strong
hands seem made for this stalwart sup
port-Grover Cleveland.

Political Blasphemy.

In comparatively clean presidential
campaign it has remained for Repub-
lican editor to write and Republican
paper to print shocking piece of politi-
cal brutality. In yesterdays New York
Recorder, paper which claims to be
1.-THE most widely circulated Republican
daily of New York." there appeared in
its series of prize editorials an article
written by f. G. Payne, of the Indian
apolis Journal, the Oldest Republican
newspaper printed at the home of Presi-
dent Harrison. His article was entitled
'Two Creeds," and attempted to sum
up in manner unfavorable to the Dem
ocrats the principles advocated by the
two great parties.
The Republican "creed" was con-
densed into the seven words, "We be-
ieve in America for Americans. Amen!"
The Democratic "creed" was given in
more extended form and was begun
with the following remarkable para

0ccunation for an Invalid.

One of the most complete and unique
collections of newspaper clippings ever
made perhaps was badly damaged by
fire in this city about week ago. 1t

has cut the biographical, political and
news matter of different daily journals,
and pasted the clippings SO obtained on
sheets for filing, after the manner of a
library card catalogue. A very rich
collection of accidents, murders, pick
pockets, etc., had been amassed, and
obituaries, marriages and sudden deaths
appeared by the hundred. The owner,
nothing daunted, has set about buying
old newspapers to repair as far as pos
sible the gap caused by the fre.--Phll'.-

The Republicans are making much use
of what is nothing less than free trade
argument. A Republican exchange puts
it thus: "People who prefer twenty-one
pounds of sugar to the dollar instead of
fifteen pounds for the same amount of
money will vote the Republican ticket
this fall" The Republican tariff re-
formers call upon the people to witness
how they put a dollar in the poor mans
pocket, while they slyly take two dol
lars from him and put them in the rich
mans pocket.-Florida Times Union.
Los Angeles herald., 1892-11-07

Not SO very long ago Mr.. Harrison met
the Democrats proposition to reduce
tariff taxation and cheaper prices with
the sneer that ''a cheap coat makes a
cheap man." He now claims that the
great object of the Republican tariff
policy was to cheaper prices. Evidently
the president has added not only cheap
coat but turncoat to his wardrobe

 Ram0rs have for some time been afoai that Germans who have eui- grated from this city to Cnhs, with the object of securing work ou plan tati0ns, have been harharuzsly treated, and letter which has iast reached this city from Sag.aa- ln Cuba, shows that the rumers are well founded.
 Ths writer IS a young German, who went fo CAbA wifh Eve com panions. An agent had agreed t0 secure them work on a plantation, and they had signed contracts which, though they knew t not, vir- tuaIly bound them to slavery. They soon, however, learned the truth
 ssIn this extremity, says the writer, "all we could do was to fee from the plantation on which we were bond slaves, and at last we succeeded in escaping. We knew that we might be captured, as other fugitives had been captured, and even if we were not captured we knew that many hardships were be- fore us. We first appealed for as- sistance to the German consul at Santiago de Cuba, but he told us bluntly that he would have nothing to do with persons who had broken their contracts. We then boarded several steamers and sailing vessels in the harbor in the hope that some captain would let us work our pas sage to an American port, bat all our efforts in that direction were also in vain. Having neither money nor food, and being halt dead from our heavy toil, we gave up in despair, and lying down on a dock waited calmly for death.
 ''Luckily, a German merchant, who resides in Santiago, saw us there and he took us with him. and for eight days treated us in the most hospitable manner More than this we certainly could not ask him to do, and as there was no prospect ot work for us to do we were obliged to choose one of the two alternatives
 ito die by starvation or return 10 the plantation from which we had run away We returned to the plantation, and what we sufer-l then no pen can describe. Death released two of my companions from their troubles, and l have only just been discharged from a hospital in which endured terrible pain. There are about fifty young Germans here who are just as badly of as am, and if assistance does not reach them soon, God knows what will be- come of them '"
 It seems that owing 10 the man. ner in which the contracts are framed the American agents who procure workmen for Cuban planters cannot be legally held responsible { for whatever may happen. Un- fortunately, few workmen take the ] pains to read the contracts. s.-New 1 York Herald.
