Bearke Cochran Said to Wish to
Enter British Politics.

When Bourke Cochran Was q
plolding pedtgogue in Westchester
county, he aimed to get into poli-
ties, and he succeeded. Then he
aspired TO sit with the national Law
makers, AMI again he succeeded.
Now, in the fullness Of his mental
powers, with American achieved
FAME and name, he is in the mother
country, or, more properly speak
ing, his mother country, prepared
to stand not only for parliament
but for McOarthyism and home
rule. Recent events indicate that
twelve-month will see him cam
paigning through borough dis
trict of the country of his birth,
and shrewd guossers predict that
the division of the voters will be
overwhelmingly IN his favor.
Some time before the sad death
OF his wife Mr.. Cochran contem-
plated a long sojourn abroad. He
confded to Congressman Tom Reed
AMI others of his friends IN Wash
ingtUn that he would like to return
to Ireland, and having money
enough would try to get into the
House Of Commons. One Of Cock
rams most intimate friends in this
city is authority fol- the statement
that the exCongressman has been

WE INVITE A DENIAL OF THIS.

The protection bunco- steerer as
sumes as the foundation of his
argument that we have to protect
ourselves from the gifts of the fool
ish foreigners, who would other
wise deluge this country with gifts.
These gifts would take the bread
out OF the mouths Of our workers,
for their labor would not be In de-
mand if we permitted the foreign
ers to support us. They do not
put it that way, but that is what
they mean. They hoodwink the
listener by putting it this way: "If
you permit the foreigner to send all
the products Of his labor over here,
don't you see that it will shut up
your own factories ?" He omits to
say that the foreigner sends nothing
here for which he does not get
full equivalent in our own labor
products, and that every dollars
worth of product imported into this
country represents a dollars worth
of product exported, and our i'm
ports are so much wages paid to
Americans working for foreigners.
From Maine to California every
Republican editor and speaker, from
1888 to 1894, tried to fool the pIeo-
pie by telling them that il the tariff
was lowered the pauper labor of
Europe would simply use this coun-
try as a dumping ground for their
surplus products and load us with
silks and laces and jewels and
everything that the heart OF man
could desire, throwing people out
Of work and producing a condition
OF universal pauperism. They do
not explain why the products OF
the pauper labor were not dumped
upon Africa, or Holland, or Tur-
key, or upon the shores Of Asia,
where no duties are imposed. When
they were asked why China. which
for twenty years has been on its
knees begging for imports and an
able to get them, was sighted IN
this manner, they made no answer.
There was none TO make. No
American ever yet had in bis pos.
session 20 much as a pin that was
the product for foreign labor un-
less he stole it. n honestly 90.
tanned from abroad it was the pro.
duct Of bis own labor after ex-
change. We cannot buy anything
except with the product Of our own
labor. An exchange Of products
does not convert what we finally
uge into the product Of another
mans labor.

What Do They Meant


clare ..Let there be harmony" what
do they mean? Do they mean TO har-
monize by Offering to compromise the
financial question? II they do. they
can not, they must not succeed. Let
silver men know, once for all, that any
compromise whatsoever means defeat.
It is defeat. For years the Democrat
ic party has been straddling this ques-
tion of silver's free coinage. The peo-
pie are now determined that the old
party shall take a decided stand
er for the free coinage of both gold
aud silver, or for gold monometallism.
There is no neutral ground. Some
newspapers in the state. wearing the
badge of Democracy. but disclaiming
its true principles and spirit. are now
loudly declaring that Stone. Bland.
Stephens, and other Democratic lead
ers, should cease their good work in
behalf of silver, in the interest of har-
mony within the ranks. If there is q
lack of harmony among the Democrats
of the state, these men are in nowise
responsible for it. The voice Of the
state Democracy was heard at Pertle
Springs. That convention was regu-
iarly conducted. 1t declared unmis-
takably for for the free, unlimited and
independent coinage of silver. at 16 to
1. Stone, Stephens, Bland, and their
sympathlzers. are now standing square
ly upon that platform, and are battling
valiantly for the principles and policy
OF the party. as declared by its chosen
representatives in convention assem-
bled. What have these men to COM
promisep Can they, as true. loyal
Democrats-as public servants-com-
promise the honor of their party. as
we'll as their own integrity Should
any one expect it of them? Has any
Democrat, or set OF Democrats. in the
state of Missouri. the right to offer any
sort of a compromise upon this ques-
ton, after the party has regularly.
and in thunderous tones, declared for
silver's remonetization? Has it come
to such pass in Missouri, that man
who fights untiringly for the princi-
Piles embodied in his party's platform
must be charged with the contention
and lack of harmony within its rarks?i
If, by their advocacy Of harmony,
the ..goldbug" newspapers and polisi-
clans expect compromise, they need
not hope for any encouragement or sup
port from the silver men. II, howev-#
er, such professions mean that the fol- |
lowers of the Cleveland and Carlisle
intend to step upon the Pertle Syringe
platform, and battle with their party |
for the principles and policy recently |
adopted and promulgated by the state
we gladly welcome them
back into the fold. and forgive them
all their backslidings and apostacy.
The question is, what do you mean,

There Is very little talk about base
ball at present although number of
E enthusiasts have signified their will
ineness to enter into a local company
for the purpose Of keeping the franchise
here should the Transit company de-
eide not to manage the club themselves.
1t has been suggested that n company
with $4,000 be formed-part to be paid
down and the remainder to be liable to
assessment should that be necessary.
The fact that the franchise as well as
the use OF the park would be
turned over to them free would

ing the subscribers against loss.
There is still some money in the league
