sruNTEp BY SALOONS.

A recent press despatch from Des Moines,
Iowa, states:
"The return of the saloon has been dis
astrous to prosperity. There are hundreds
OF empty houses here, business Is stagnant.
except In the dram shops, and the popula-
tior, instead Of reaching $4,000 as was ex-
pected, and as doubtless would have been
the case had prohibition continued. Is shown
by the State census to. be lowering In the
neighborhood Of 81, 900, an increase OF about
1000 In the last five years, as against an In.
crease Of II 600 in the preceding five years Of
solid prohibition. Business men, who clam
ored for saloons as the best method OF max
ing a city of Des Moines, see the sudden
stoppage Of immigration Of the best Glasses
from the small towns OF the State. and from
other parts OF the country, yet are appar.
emily foath to admit the error which led
them into the great mistake OF lowering the
civic tone OF our municipality. You may
look for an uprising against the saloons as
soon as the leayen Of adversity permeates
the community, and brings 1t to the point OF
action" 5y ~ q; a. ~ IT.

PROJECTION ON FRRB Trade
LIES

PRoTEcTfoN ON FEE TRADE
LEES.
The Republican party has sadly driftel
from its moortngs, In 1892 the Repuhli
can speakers told the people that higl
prices for American products were what
the country needed, while the Cleveland
tFee trade Democrats were yelling for low
prices for all products.
Now we find the Democratic party ne.
organized under method tha5 forms 4
happy medina between the two extreme
soyernmentalileas of free trade and high
protection. The Democratic party of to.
day has gotten rid Of its dangerous ultra
free trade clement and has joined ranks
with the most conservative element OF
the Republican and Populist parties.
Its speakers assert that free silver will
cause tie price of all Of our products ito
rise and claim that this rise will prove a
God send to the country as it will
strengthen the rock upon which all pros
perity rests-the farming or wealth
producing class.
On the other hand the Republicans
have repudiated their arguments of four
years ago, and are telling the people
that the dollar that can buy the most is
the best, and that the poor man does not
to pay "a high price for what he
buys.
How the sun do novel; Here we
have a Republican party borrowing the
thunder of the Cleveland. free trade ele-
ment, and carrying on a campaign ac-
cording to lines laid down, four years ago,
blythe free traders, while the purified
and unterrifed Democracy is advocating
what the anti-free traders have always
adv coated.
How can old Republicans who believe
in good prices for American products,
their views to the free trade doc
Of low prices, and stick longer to
the Republican party, a party that to-
day is clamoring for a dollar that Twill

1t would be well for the Republican
sugar planters to remember that any
protection they receive is basedon the
purchasing powet Of The dollar. Ii a
duty Ut two cents a pound is put on
sugar the planter claims that lie will
b Unprotected because the dollar will
'huy less sugar than it would buy if The
duty Of two cents was taken of.
Under free silver according to the
argument of the gold bugs themselves
dollar will buy less sugar than
