BLAINE AS 4 TRUE PROPHET.


Causes Predicted Ten Years Ago.
New York advertiser.
:" | love my country and my
countrymen. | am an Ameri-
can, and | rejoice every day Of
my life that ! am, said james
9. Blaine ten years ago. sIen-
JOY the general prosperity Of my
country, and | know that the
workingmen Of this land are
the best paid, the best fed and
the best clothed Of any laborers
on the face of the earth. MANY
OF them have homes of their own.
they are surrounded by an the
comforts and many of the lux
uries of life. | shudder, how
ever, at the thought that the
time must come when all this
will be changed, when the gen
raj prosperity of the country
will be destroyed, when the
great body of workingmen IN
this land; who are now so pros
porous, will hear their wives
md children cry for bread: that
he day must come when the
great factories and manufaetor-
es of this land will shut down
md where there is now life and
sctivity there will be the silence
IT the tomb. And the reason
why this must be is this:
The great Southern wing of
-he Democratic party is deter
mined to establish the doctrine
Il free trade in this land. They
will he assisted by their North
ern allies. The fight is now on.
There is a great body of vision
airy but educated men who are
employed day by day in writ
ing free trade essays and argu-
ments in favor of that doctrine
which find their way in every
newspaper in this land. The
great body of our people have
aever experienced themselves
the sufferings which always re-
suit when the protective princi-
pies are laid aside. Poisoned
and excited by the wild state
ments of these writers, and the
iemagogic appeals Of Democrat
&c speakers, the result will be
that in the very near future
these forces, which are now
working, will be strong enough
TO defeat at the polls the party
advocating the doctrine of pro-
section.
1T must inevitably follow
chat uncertainty and doubt will
ensue. The business men Of
the country, fearing the dcstruc-
lion OF the principle of protec-
ton, will decline to engage in
business, consequently mills
win be shut down, and the
workingmen viii be thrown out
II employment. The people will
then see, as they have never
seen before, that they cannot be
prosperous and have work while
this principle is threatened. In
the midstof their suiferings they
will learn that the only way
they can be prosperous and hap
Ply is to vote for the party that
has built up the industries by
which they have gained live
lihood, because they will then
see clearly that when the man
is shut down there is
no demand for the only thing
they have to sell, and that is
their labor

the attendance. The management will
present many attractions during the

ment to the thousands who will be at the

Our readers have no doubt heard of the
artists, Miss Bessie Mechlin, saxaphon-
list, and H. C. Mechlin, harpist, of New
York. The Mechlins have been engag-
ed to give number of entertainments
during the week, furnishing a program
that will delight all who may be fortunate
enough to hear them.
During the week Olin w. Miller will
have charge of a company OF vocalists of
Harrisburg and vicinity, of well known
reputation, and the concerts they will
give will be delightful to the ear.
Another great attraction will be the
fine exhibition of fireworks, especially
prepared for the Changers Picnic by
Masten & Wells. the we'll known Fire
Works Manufacturing Co, of Boston,
Wednesday and Friday evenings. These
are hut few of the good things !"

Women In General Conference.

We have long accepted the coming
providential fact that our sisters will be
members of the general conference pres
emily. We are inclined to think that
many who have declined TO vote in an
nual conferences TO make women eligi-
Bile have become more than willing TO
reverse their judgments and vote to adj

the women are to become eligible, give
all the conferences tho opportunity to

sad face of this condition of affairs
Mr.. Harrison's radical parental idea
filled the ranks of the 'unemplOy i"
by thousands Of those who did not
want employment but wanted the
government to follow the natural and
logical conclusion of Mr.. Harrison 2
doctrine that it must take care of the
unemployed The cunning wisdom
of Machiavelli himself could not have
conceived and declared a more dan
oerous condition of affairs to embar-
rass the government than has the
action of tho Republican party in Gre
ating and fostering an enormous debt
to prevent the Democratic party from
relieving the people from oppressive
taxation, but "Old Nick" himself
could not have conceived more dan
gerous principle than was added to
this condition of affairs by Mr.. Har-
ri-on in his declaration that the gov
eminent must take care Of "the un-
employed
Perhaps y r. Harrison regardde
it as a kind of just compensation to
the poor and the unemployed. The
government had reduced the poor to
a greater poverty by enforcing tariff
that was more for the benefit of the
rich than the revenues of the govern.
ment, and as Mr. Harrison's friends,
the rich, had through the contribu-
tions of the poor become as wealthy
as they desired, MIR. Harrison con-
sidered it was now the duty of the
government to take care of the poor
that it had 80 impoverished by the
tariff. On that ground alone can we
see any justice in it. But that does
not relieve us of the pandora's box OF
evils opened on us by Mr.. Harrison in
his declaration aforesaid. Behold its
result in the masses of the "unem.
ployed" moving on to Washington to
demand from the government that
paternal care declared to be their due
by such high authority as an ex"presi.
dent of the United States and uni
versity law lecturer.

THE ORGANIZATION OF DEMO
CRATIC CLUBS.

Mr.. Clevelaud's letter to General
Black, approving the formation of
Democratic clubs is especially signiii-
cant and appropriate, considering the
numerous irritating causes OF disailec
ton within the party and in no other
state is the necessity for the formation
of Democratic clubs more apparent
and important than in Texas.
Political clubs which have regular
meetings, and in which current poll
ties and the affairs of party are dis
cussed, will have a greater effect than
any other mode of canvass in allaying
prejudice and correcting false est-
mates of measures and objects of ad-
ministration. 1t brings the most in
telligent members of lhe party peri
odically together, cultivating social
relations and interchanging opinions
on affairs before the hasty and incons
sderate have gone too far astray. 1t
matters not how intelligent a man
may be, he will be compelled to admit
that often in life he has come to con
clrsions that he has found, in discus
sion with friends of his political
faith, were erroneous. Ideas
are suggested that did not
occur to him and that when suggested
he is surprised he did not before APP
preciate and apply to the subjectupon
which he finds himself in error.
We doubt very much whether there
would have been schisms in the Demo-
ocratic party in Texas if every city.
town and neighborhood had enjoyed
the advantage of n Democratic club,
where, upon its weekly or monthly
meetings, all questions arising would
have been fully discussed. And the
fact is that we have driltad apart upon
questions that we have laltcrly deter
mined were uuimportaut, on account
OF the went Of such opportunity OF an
exchange aud discussion of these ques-
tons.
The Democracy OF Texas have now
become recouciled aud we suggest, as
the best way to cement these ties that
Democratic clubs be formed in every
city, town and ueighborhood IN the
state, wheredocuments speeches, etc,
can be collected more conveniently
than 10y Individuals, and where we
can compare opinions upon the poll.

WASHINGTON NOTES.
EFFORTS ON THE TARIFF BILL

WAsHINGTON, April 24-According
10 an agreement entered into between
the Democratic and Republican SEN
ators the reading of the tariff bill for
amendment will probably begin at 10
o'clock tomorrow. The program now
does not inclnde any prepared speech,
but if there should be an opportunity
for one. either Senator Dolph or Seua-
tor Quay will probably proceed, as
both have unfinished speeches on
hand. 1t is considered as quite prob
able that the day will be largely taken
up in settling details, one of the most
important will be as to the limitation
OF hours OF debate. When Senator
Mills finished his speech today the
senate did not proceed with the bill,
as the Republicans understood the
Democrats were to consume the day,
as notice of two speeches had been

Gated as to be easily and quickly

disturbance, will become one of the

posts.
Mr.. Preston, director of the mint,
by direction of the secretary of the
treasury, has issued orders to the mint
authorities at San Francisco and New
Orleans to begin at once the coinage
of silver dollars and during the pres
ent month to coin up to the ordinary
capacities of the mints The silver to
be first coined will be blanks and in
gots, of which there is sufficient to
coin about 81, 500, 900 at these two
mints and at Philadelphia As soon
as this supply is exhausted work will
probably begin on the silver bars. So
far as can be learned it is not the pur-
pose of the government to extend the
coinage of the seigniorage beyond a
few millions, but it is stated that after
coming what gold may be necessary
and recoining the abraded fractional
silver, each of the three mints proba-
bly, will be worked at their normal
capacity on silver dollars, for several
months at least.
