Self Condemned.

There are not few who have arrived at
the conclusion that the President wrote that
letter to Wilson, thinking that thereby he
might be able to force concessions to his
free coal and iron friendships, but more
especially that he might place himself in
some light before the country as not to bear
his just responsibility for the tariff
failure which must be inevitable. 1t
is believed that he hoped by this
letter and by the aid Of an explanatory
letter to be written at the time Of signing
whatever measure might be passed, that he
could pose better than his party. If so he
failed most ignobly. He has overshot the
marks he is noted for doing when he takes
to letter writing and no one is around TO
curb his enthusiasm. 1t is pretty generally
noted that he left the sugar matter in such
condition that he may sign the bill, let it
give the trust what it may. He makes no
comparison between the free raw material
sugar, and the free ''raw material" wool,
he doesn't comment on this Inconsistent
absurdity." He only sees Inconsistent
absurdity" when comparing wool with iron
and coal. But just here how can he sign
any bill coming from Congress with a tariff
on coal and iron? He is on record in his
letter that the question "does not admit of
adjustment on any middle ground, since their
subsection to any rate of tariff taxation,
great or small, is alike violative of Demo-
cratic principle and Democratic good
faith How then may Mr.. Cleve-
land sign any bill that does not
provide for free coal and iron and sis a
violation of Democratic principles" and
is it likely that such bill as he calls for
will be had through compromise? Can he
as the Executive dictate such radical ste p
in legislation and if not can he be an honest
Executive in signing bill which doesn't
contain these provisions? Manifestly not.
1t would be reasonable to expect President
who had kept his hands off to yield somewhat,
but not Grover Cleveland after attempting
to dictate legislation. He is on record as
favoring legislation intending to put mil
lions into the pockets of the sugar trust for
no good reason but that Ne does not consid-
er it "violative of Democratic principles"
What reason is there then, for cutting off
that differential rate. The money will not
be needed for there will be a surplus even
with that Topped off. 1t is noticeable that
he doesn't recommend that, and although his
cuckoo. Mr.. Villas, proposed an amendment
to such effect, he discreetly withdrew it
at the proper time and voted not to IL
struct the conferees to cut off the differen-
tial rate. Not only must Grover Cleveland
be condemned for what he didn't say in his

The call for Adlai has gone forth from
Washington unto the seclusion of Blooming
ton where the Vice President has been hid
ing from the hot wave. 1t is no uncertain
call, but rings out clear and strong "Agitate
myself Adlai. Bring forth the olive
branch" 1t is noticed that no mention is
made Of Adlai's ak with which he won fame
in the old time. The snickersnee is the
popular weapon there. Opinions may diff
fer as to the feasibility of bringing along
that ak. Indeed, we are constrained
to believe that if he would employ it
in cutting down the tent poles of Congress
the country could unite in thanksgiving.
1t is different sort of armor, however,
with which Adlai is girding himself in re-
Spouse to this call to patriotic endeavor. He
hastens to invest himself with that rabbits
foot, euphemistically called the olive
branch and has restored it to its old
place on his person. 1t will be re-
membered that when Adlai was stump
ing the South two years ago lie sue
ceeded in warding off yellow fever, chills
and incipient presidential booms by the aid
of this rabbits foot, plucked from the left
hind leg and worn in the starboard hip
pocket. There is a brew at Washington
equal in potency and nauseous variety of
ingredients to that which the witches pre-
pared for Macbeth, but Adlsi's rabbits foot,
it is hoped, may counteract its effect. Gag
itate myself Adlai, agitate."

The Maine Republican Platform.

The Republican party of Maine invite all the
people of the State who are in accord with the
principles of the following platform to unite in
q common course of action
A financial policy not in favor of monometal-
lism, either of gold or silver. as the basis OF a
financial system, but international bimetalllsm to
be secured by strenuous efforts of the national
power. Now, and in the future all dollars should
be of equal value TO the end that suitable cur.
rency, abundant for all wants shall secure to all
the people the full results Ct their labor.
The enactment and enforcement of all laws re-
quired for the proper recognition and protection
of labor.
The American Union its citizens and their great
privileges can be protected in no surer way than
by absolute exclusion from our country. of the
paupers, criminals. and diseased of Europe. The
party, therefore, favors the passage OF such re.
strictive legislation as will admit to our shores
only those immigrants who have the capacity and
desire to become good American citizens.
A firm and bending foreign policy, which will
prevent the interference of European powers in
the domestic government OF American states and
| countries. The party sustains the course Of
President Harrison and ex-Minister John L..
Stevens toward the people of the Hawaii islands,
and wholly disappr0ves the un- American policy
of the Cleveland administration in relation there
Legislation for the benefit of the Union soldiers
of the war of the rebellion their widows and
children, and disapproval of the present policy of
the Pension Bureau in making such laws, to de-
gree, nUllity.
Full recognition of the benefits to all the people
| of the State which have come from temperance
and prohibition and we pledge our continued and
hearty support of the enforcement of the prohibi-
tory laws.
A tariff for the protection of American labor
against the underpaid and pauper labor of foreign
countries.
The Republican party calls upon all the voters
of the State TO express at the polls their disap-
proval of the Wilson tariff bill, the main vicious
features of which maintained and added TO in
the bill now before the Senate, which surrenders
the interests of Northern labor while it protects
those of the South and delivers nearly every in
dustry Of Maine into the hands OF our nearest and
most hostile rival, the Dominion of Canada
The Blaine system of reciprocity and opposition
to the Democratic policy which attempts its aban-
dOnnent and repeal.
Cordial approval of the course of the Maine del
egaton, in tie Senate and in the House of Repre-
sentatyes in fighting the Democratic tariff bill at
every stage, and continued support in every fur
ther effort TO obstruct and defeat the bill.
A full Enforcement of the conduct of the affairs
of the State by the executive and Legislative
branches, and a cordial Recommendation of Gov
ernor Henry B. Cleavps for re election to the high
Office which he has so admirably filed. =

The King of Corea has exempliied in ex-
treme degree the methods of despots for
keeping the common people in awe of
their high mightinesses. Whenever he went
abroad it was in a palanquin carefully con-
cealed from the gaze of all and windows
and doors in the houses along the route
were ordered closed. The Japanese stood
in no awe, however, and have snatched him

discrimination against Northern prosperity
is so marked, and so boldly stands out in
all the schedules of that bill, that hardly
doubt can exist that its main purpose was
deliberate attack by the leaders and coz
trollers of the Democratic party upon the
vital interests of that section of the country
which defeated them in their attempt to
destroy the Union.
The very menace of this bill has paralyz-
ed our business, and changed a condition of
prosperity, unprecedented in the worlds his
tory, to desolation and almost universal
distress.
The gentleman who has taken his seat, in
his vehement disquiSilion upon plutocracy,
| excitedly exclaims, Where are our farm
ers and our laborers?" I will inform him.
They are impoverished, many of them
pinched with want, and suffering under the
blasting influence of the threatened tariff
legislation of his party. In the malignant
shadow of that proposed legislation our
mills and factories have been stopped, our
mines have been abandoned, our furnace
fires have been put out, our merchants have
seen their sales contract, the wages of labor
have been reduced, every industry has suf-
fered, and our workingmen have been
doomed to the low plane of living of the
pauperized and wretched laborers of the
Old World.
This they resent. They not unnaturally
rebel against it. They justly and righteous
ly feel that they deserve no such terrible
doom at the hands of the party which at
present controls the legislation of the cour-
try. Why should lsvs so cruel in their eff
feet be prepared for them? Great strikes
result, and are attended by lawlessness and
violence at the hande> of the vicious, some
of whom are to be found among all classes

THE ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE.
Looking Alter the Alum and Ammonia
 Baking Powders.

A bill for an act. entitled "An Act to Regulate the Traffic in Baking Powders" :" has been introduced in the legislature at Springfield, by Mir. None. The bill is in- tended to prevent the odulteration of bak- ing powders with Ammonia or Alum. i'm posing proper penalties to enforce the law. etc. This shows an earnest desire on the part of our representatives to protect their constituents.
 The Chicago Tribune, referring to the question of legislation on Alum and Am monia baking powders, says: Tt deals in direct manner with an evil that must be cut down."
 Following is partial list of the names of the brands sold in this State that have been examined and found to contain either Ammonia or Alum. Many Alum and Am monia Powders are labeled and advertised as Absolutely pure" to nislead the pub lie.

 Ddln fArntoti, h Os Loyal"
 In addition to the above list there is a multitude of brands sold with prize It is safe to reject all baking powders sold with prize, as the test shows they are compos- ed largely of alum and cost but few cents per pound. Also refuse any baking powder sold at attwenty-tive cents per pound, or less: it is sure to contain alum.
 Surely nothing but their eheapness could induce the pubic to experiment with these impure powders at the risk of health. Aside from the question of health or .the wholesomeness of these condemned pow ders, and viewed from the standpoint of economy alone, a pure grape cream Of tartar baking power like .Dr. Prices. J from its greater known strength and un- questionable purity. will prove more econ onlical to the user in every way.-Chicago 1ntea Ocean.
