Vote for Arnold.
Pawtucket Times

pawtuc ket Times.
While ii Ia plainly evident that the peo-
pie OF Pawtucxet are naturally plainly in
terested in the municipal election, which
is TO occur on Tuesday next, II should not
be forgotten that the Congressional cleo
tion, which Is 10 occur on the same day,
Il OF the most vital Importance. The
people OF the Second District are called
Arnold OF Chepachet, the Republican
nominee, and Hon. l.. +. G. Garvin OF
cumberland, the Democratic candidate.
The election OF ~r. Arnold means n
victory for the Repu blicans, another step
toward the restoration OF the policy OF
protection. The election of Mr.. Garvin
means another step toward Industrial
disaster. Can there DO any hesitation
about how to vote?
Every effort should be made to score a
big Congressional victory on Tuesday,
aud Republican committees throughout
the State should see TO IL that the closing
days of the campaign are marked by a
cyclone OF popular enthusiasm. Every
section OF the State should be addressed
by able speakers before next Monday
night, and the determination of patriotic
citizens to cast the verdict OF Rhode
Island for Protection and prosperity must
be inspired and strengthened by earnest
appeals TO their intelligence and public
spirit. The work OF making votes by
y
ly pushed until the very eve OF election.
But while there must be no relaxation of
effort in the direction OF a rousing popu-
lar sentiment, Republican campaign man
ayers must at the same time give close
attention TO the supreme necessity of
getting out every Republican vote.
Whatever work Is TO be done should be
done al once. Delays are always danger
Gus, and apathy still more so. 1t will not
do TO put off this work until the morning
of election, or even until the day previ-
Gus. 1t should be attended to at once,
and attended to 50 thoroughly that when
the hour of battle comes every Republi-
can Will be- at his post, and the whole
Republican vote be cast early in the day.
This applies not only to the Congressional
but also Go the municipal election, and il
the Republican workers do their duty un-
ceasingly, Pawtucket viii roll up a Re-
publican vote OF surprising proportions.
Work on; work Justify.

Democratic speakers the result will be
that, in the very near future, these forces
which are now working viii be strong
enough to defest at the polls the party
advocating the doctrine of protection. 1t
must inevitably follow that uncertainty
and doubt will ensue.
The business men OF the country, fear
ing the destruction, will decline TO engage
in business; consequently mills will be
shut down aud the workingmen will
be thrown out OF employment.
The people will then see, as we have never
seen before, that they cannot be prosper
Gus and have work while this principle is
threatened. In the midst OF this suffer-
ing they will learn that the
only way they can be prosperous
and happy is TO vote for the party that
will build up the industries by which they
have gainsa alivelikood-because they can
see clearly hat W here msnufsctcryis shut
down there is no demand fcf the thing
which they have to sell, and that is their
labor.
And we have been through just ex-
actly this-haven't we?

The Election.
Pawtlxet Valley Qleaner.


On Tuesday next occur the congress
sional elections, the Importance of which
must, It seems TO US, impress itself upon
the minds of every intelligent and think
ing voter.
The evils necessarily following an in
efficient and selfish administration Of ma
tional affairs are everywhere painfully ap-
parent In parslyzed industries and copse-
tfsesit suffering aBfeng-the laboring clas-
ses. The purchasing power OF a dollar, it
Is true, has been somewhat enhanced, but
the absence OF the dollar renders that
much talked OF benefit a curse.
An opportunity Will be afforded next
Tuesday TO correct IN measure the mis-
take of two years ago by electing Con-
gress which shall eXtinguish that Demo-
cratic will-o'-the wisp, called tariff re-
form, which has lured our business inter-
ests 10 disaster and ruin, and place in
its stead the beacon light OF protection.
Rhode Islands share in this work of re-
demption is the election of two Repub-
lican Congressman, which can be hand
somely done If every voter feels his own
individual responsibility in this matter.
The candidates, Messrs. Bull and Arnold,
are both we'll known as men to be relied
upon, and they should be elected by ma
jority never before heard OF in this State.

Proving Too Much.

westerly sun.
There is such a thing as proving too
much, and that is just as bad as proving
too little. Some OF our Democratic friends
are in serious danger from this cause. too.
One of the stock arguments of the
Democratic speakers this fall has been
that the "hard times of the past
year have resulted from the silver pur-
chase clause of the Sherman law more
than from the changes in the tariff bill.
Then they have prOfessed TO find great
comfort in the facJ that business is little
better than it has been, and that the inn
provement has commenced within the
past two or three months. Now let us see
If these two ideas, when combined, do not
prove altogether more than is antici-
pated by those who advance them.
The silver purchase clause of the Sher-
man bill WIS repealed a year ago, and
though the advocates OF the repeal had
urged that business would quickly re-
spond when that was accomplished
nothing OF the kind happened.
The stock market felt the
impulse little, but nothing else
did. Evidently there was something more
needed. Business continued as fiat as
ever. Mills shut down, and establish
ments which had been running short
handed or on short time continued
so to do. Congress assembled, and
for seven long months worked on the
NkIAn Oil. busiAtn5 tOnAlAutu uull, Dub
when at last this measure became n law,
there was q slight Improvement because
uncertainty no longer existed as TO what
would be the outcome OF the Democratic
brooding. lt was a slight Improvement
only, and OF slight Duration; today there
are more mills in operation than there
were six months ngo, but they are running
along "irom hand TO mouth" and may
stop altogether at any time.
But tho fact remains that there was no
improvement in business after the repeal
of the silver purchase clause, and not
much after the new tariff bill became
law. What little there was de-
pended upon the settlement OF that
question, and not upon the repeal of the
silver clause. Voters will remember this
next Tuesday. A vote for the Republican
candidates for Congress is vote favor
able 60 making matters no worse than
they are, while vote for the Democratic
candidates is n vote for more uncertainty
and more disaster.

The late JAMES G.. BLAINE was far

with an incisive vocabulary. A finely
expressed and carefully estimated
-prop-1ecy of mrs, Tuaus III oCtUber, f6JU,
twoyears before the election which placed
the country in the hands of the Demo-
cratic party, is worth repeating on this

They are surrounded by all the comforts

There is great body OF visionary but

Rhode Island Pendulum,

hhode Island Pendulum.
There is but one danger for the Repub-
licans of Rhode Island in the election
next Tuesday. That is overconfidence in
victory. We believe, as everybody in
tbe& State unquestionsbly believes, that
TIE Republican candidates for Congress,
NJ -. Bull and Arnold, will be elected !;
bu, i is more certain that they will not
be elected if the Repu blicans fail to do
their duty in voting.
No Republican can afford to stay away
from the ballot box next Tuesday. What
Is needed is nota simple victory by plu-
rality, but an overwhelming majority as
the verdict OF Rhode Island against the
rank imbecility Of Democratic Con-
gress.
Candidates more deserving of Republi-
can party approval could not have been
nominated, and 1t is due them that they
receive in their respective districts the
complete vote of the party whose princi.
Piles they represent. The expectat ion that
the Republicans will carry the electio ms
in all the Northern States Is not an unwar-
ranted one, but the size Of the majorities
Is what is TO determine the active polio y
of the next Congress.
IL behooves Rhode Island, chiefly q
manufacturing State, to return as large
majorities as possible for American ind as
tries.
Let no Republican who claims to be a
patriot fail to vote next Tuesday!

The Pawtucket Evening Post OF Friday
at is doubtless true that Hon.
Warren q. Arnold was once a
labpring man and through energy,
thrift and ability made himself q
large employer OF labor, but that by no
means proves his fitness to serve as q
Congressman, nor does it prove that he
Is better friend of the working people
than DR.. Garvin Is or has been. DIR. Gar
win has made n record as the oonservator
of la boris cause. Mr.. Arnold can point TO
nothing that he has done to promote its
interests or better its condition.
What better representative to Congress
could workingmen select than a success

Arnold, who, as The Post admits, ,throug h
his own energy has placed himself in a
position TO give the same start in life to
other young men that he began with him.
self?
Were there not employers OF labor like
Mr.. Arnold, were all men non-em ployers
and non-producers like DIR. Garvin, the
lot OF the workingman would be hard
one.
Mr.. Arnold, while a member of Con-
gress, was consulted by all committees
shaping tariff legislation, and not few
of the best features of the protective
tariff adopted by the last Republican
admistration were suggested by him.
Were this tariff in vogue today the
workingmen OF Rhode Island would not
> be working under reduced pay, neces-
STATED by the taking away from the
manufacturers and their employees the
protection that is absolutely essential TO
maintain the American standard of wages.
Would DIR. Garvin's influence be in this
direction il sent to Congress? Most as
suredly not. He Is visionary, not q
practical man, and a pronounced advo-
cate OF free trade. He would not do for
the workingmen what Hon. Charles IL.
Page did-oppose the Democratic policy
OF wiping out protection-but would take
from the workingmen what protection
there Is left in the new law, il in his
power to do SO.
mrhere is not in all Rhode Island q
man better qualified to represent the
workingmen in Congress than Mr..
Arnold, who. from a poor boy, has risen
to O position of honor and of useful
ness TO mankind, and well qualified him
self to give good counsel and encourage
ment and practical assistance to all am
bilious and frugal workmen who would
do as he has done.
Should the free trade and single tax
theories Of DR.. Garvin prevail there would
be little opportunity for much success In
this direction, however.
Let the workingmen of this district see
TO 1t that they are represented at Wash
ington by one of the most successful
among their numbers, one whose influ-
ence has and will ever be- exerted for the
industrial growth and prosperity Of our
goodly little commonwealth.

-T9M9RReM,S ELECTION.

In 1890, for the first time in a genera
ton, Rhode Island sent two Democrats
to Congress.
In 1892, after hard struggle against
the Democratic tidal wave, Rhode
Island returned her two Democratic
Congressman and they became a COM
ponent part of the first Democratic ad-
minstration since ante-bellum days.
The history of this Democratic admin
istration is a national scandal. The last
chapter of Vol. l. OF that history will
be written tomorrow when the Demo-
cratic House of Representatives will be
wiped out and Republican House
elected in its stead.
Rhode Island must do her share in the
making of this chapter.
Rhode Island must elect two Repub-
licans to represent this Republican State
