OUR THANKSGIVING.
The Last Proclamation Issued b!
President Grover Cleveland.

BY the President of the United
States:
The people of the United States
should never be unmindful of the graft
tude they owe the God of nations for his
watchful care which shielded them
from dire disaster and pointed out to
them the way of peace and happiness.
Nor should they ever refuse to ack-
nOwledge with contrite hearts their
prOneness to turn away from Gods
teachings, and to follow with sinful
pride after their own devices.
To the end that these thoughts may
be quickened, 1t is fitting that on a
day especially appointed, we should
join together in approaching the throne
of grace with praises and supplicatiOn.
Therefore, 1, Grover Cleveland. presi-
dent of the United States, do hereby
designate and set apart Thursday. the
twenty-six day of the present month
of November to be kept and observed
as a day of thanksgiving and prayer
throughout our land.
On that day let our people forego
their usual work and occupation, and

as possible before Mckinley takes his
seat. the general expectation being that
Il high tariff of at least . cents will be
imposed upon sugar.
No doubt is entertained that there
will be rush in the wOolens and soft
goods markets or that the iron and
steel trade will be so busy that the de-
livery of goods before March 1897, will
be virtually impossible.

First of all, let the fight be made for

There is not a word in Mr.. CarlisIe's
letter, of course, from beginning to
end, which can be construed as a
definite refusal to accept a nomination
under any circumstances. 1t is not
believed that he would. All that he
has said is that he does not wish to
obscure issues or divide forces in his
party until it's attitude on the cur
rency question shall have been definite
~ determined; and that he does not
propose either to slight the duties of this
high Office, or to use, as his predeces-
sors have done, it's great patronage in
order to force himself upon his party
as its presidential candidate. In both
Of these positions Mr.. Carlisle com
mends himself to his party and to the
country as q high-minded, honorable.

the name and to be the chosen leader
OF his party if it should SO declare.
He has said the right thing in the
right place, and the whole country
respects and admires him for it.-St.

The attitude taken by Nj. Carlisle
In his letter to a friend eo~ncerningsais
possible nomination for the presidency
is worthy OF the man. The secretarys
Of the treasury IS charged with some
OF the most important dnties resting
upon this administration. He could
not, without neglecting these, enter into
a rough and tumble struggle for the
presidential nomination. In this
spect, he sets a worthy example to
those senator's and representative.
whose custom it has been to abs
themselves from Washington for weeks
while congress is in session in order to
secure their own denomination. In the
next place, Mr.. Carlisle is rightly con
cerned far more about the declaration
Of principles of the democratic party
than about its candidate. A mistake
in selecting a leader may be rectifed.
Its consequences are but temporary.
But a mistake in a party platform
reaches far into the future, and re-
mains an embarrassment and a source.
Of weakness to that party until a gems
Grafton arises that has had time to
forget the blunder.
In the present instance, a false step
would be more than unfortunate; it
would be fatal. The failure of the
democratic party to declare for sound
money and against silver monometal-
lism in its national convention this
year would mean, must mean, party
d~isintegration and the absorption of
democracy by populism. 1t is the ex-
istence and not merely the success or
defeat of the democratic party that
is at stake. Therefore, Mr.. Carlisle acts
the patriot and the loyal democrat
when he sets this issue in the fore
front and s%ubordinates to it any per-
sonal ambition that he may entertain.

TIE Hotel Waldorf.
"The price Of steel billets was placed
At $40 a ton. Last week they sold at
al and S18."-N. Y. Press.
The above is quoted from tie news
columns of M of the most rabid and
insistent newspaper champions of pro-
lection. It carries its own argument.
These gentlemen met at the finest hotel
i'm the world, and decided to increase
the cost Of steel to the builders OF all
structures in which these billets are
used BY 17ta per cent. No one who
observes building operations in the
large cities can fail to understand how
~burdensome this will be upon con-
tractors and builders. There will be a
crowding Of expenses in other direc-
tions, and the workingmen will not
reap any advantage. Upon all grades
of men, from the housesmith TO the
tenant who occupies the completed
building, the representatives Of $780,
100000 Of capital have made a levy Of
I7H per cent.
This is Of special Importance just
now because Of the political relations
Of these gentlemen. The present tariff
on the products they control Is 35 per
cent This tariff enables them to conn
bine and raise the price three dollars
a ton higher than the competitive level.
But not satisfied with this enormous
advantage, they are investing their
money ina presidential campaign, in
The hope of securing a still greater

goods they make. The trusts and pro-
tected manufacturers are not investing
