Interesting Exhibit mt Madison
Square Garden Next Week.


The cycle show, which opens at Madi-
son Square Garden on Monday, will be
a most interesting exhibit 1t will prac-
tically be the opening OF the cycle trade
for the year In this country, and the
manufacturers will have their improved
'9i models on exhibition.
A bicycle show is something new to
New Workers.. In Philadelphia three
shows have been held. In England 1t Is
an annual event, and It Is said hat no
less than $1,000 people attended In one
day an exhibition at the Crystal Palace
two years ago.
The bicycle of "a will differ but little
from that of '93. That Is to say, the
same lines will be preserved. but there
will be many novelties and improve
ments shown in brake attachments, ped
ais, tires, chain gear, &c.
The exhibitors were hard at work this
morning arranging their exhibits in their
booths. Some Of them have been brought
from the Worlds Fair, and are very fine.
In the centre OF the Garden a large
platform has been erected on which ex-
hIbitions OF trick and fancy riding will
be given by Prof. Maltby, Sid Black and
the Stirk family.
The object of the show Is to give manu-
facturers a chance to exhibit their ma
chimes and take orders from dealers. A
feature will be several pneumatic tired
road wagons. The show will be open
from 2 p. M. to II p. NJ.

Congressional shams.

The loud outcry by the republican papers
against Cleveland over the Hawaii farce, and
talk Of impeachment is all bogus. The object
is to attract the peopps attention away from
the financial question. The national bank
and other monopoly papers will leave no
effort untried TO deceive the people and if
possible create excitement over false issues.
The cutlery against the Wilson Bilp is for
the same purpose. The manufacturers fifty
years ago would have been afraid to ask for
such high rates as the Wilson Bill makes
on some of the staple articles. If ever the
manufacturers needed protection" it was
when they we're feeble. poor and struggling
for fooihold. Now they are giants and
fairly clamor for more and more 'protec-
tion." The whole business is transparent
sham, beyond the natural instinct of greed.
The monopolies are all combined and the
concern of one is the concern OF all. They
join on all occasions to beat off the people
when they attempt to approach their strong
hold. The men in congress who fight for
the gold ring money trust fight as earnestly
against every movement to change the tariff.
The Wilson Bill is sham, a mere make
believe, and those on the inside of the con-
spiracy against the people, may say what
they please to amuse and cheat their con
stituents, but they don't care rush
whether the Wilson Bill or any other bill is
passed. The entire scheme is 10 fight off
interference with the money monopoly. The
President is in the plot as deeply as any of
them, and is not the least alarmed about
the loud threats of impeachment. 1t is all
blind. Not one of those republican Wall
street members in The Senate would vote 10
impeach Cleveland under any conditions.
He has been too good friend to monopoly.
However cruelty selfish and heartless
monopoly may be. it never deserts its
friends or Furnishes crime committed against
the people. 1t is only offenses against
monopoly it never forgives, but pursues the
offender with relentless cruelty. The
Hawaii and Wilson Bill racket is nothing
but sham battle.
