HOPES OF THE DEMOCRATS.
They Expect to Achieve Success
Through Dissension Among
the Republicans.

It is a good thing for democrats to
comfort themselves with republican
differences. 1t pleases them, and they
do it so loudly that it instructs the
surrounding universe. They want re-
publicans to fall foul of each other
about candidates or else about fac
tions, and they frankly say SO. They
hope that some republicans will run
outside tickets for the benefit of dem
ocratic candidates for congress and
the assembly. and kindly say so. They
are glad to know that nomination
by an independent body is to some
republicans a hindrance, and say so
loudly. They are to be thanked for
their candor.
1t is not necessary to go far atiesd
to find the source of this deep interest
in republican doings. The democratic
organizations are under the unpleas-
ant necessity this year OF saying yes
or no on the Bryan question. That
does not mean the free silver question
alone. If it did, the problem would
be for many comparatively easy. A
free silver party could not carry New
York unless the republicans were bad
ly divided, as everyone knows. But
man who holds Bryan's notions about
the supreme court and about the
rights of labor or other organiza tions
to get up riots without interference
would not carry any state where the
people have sense enough for self-goy-
ernment, and yet mixture of these
questions with the dislike of some
people for war, and of some other peo-
pie for the way the war has been con-
Quoted, is the total stock in trade of
the democratic party.
That is a large stock, if the repub-
licans see fit to enlarge it. IF every
man who did not think the war nrces-
sary. or thinks it vas not waged eX-
actly as it should have been, betakcs
himself to the party of Bryan for
expression of his feelings, the so-called
verparty may record some apparent
gains. But if democrats hope to win
for Organism through republican dis
sension they are likely to be disap-
pointed. The average republican is
not quite destitute of sense, and
knows that it cannot pay to put po-
litical adyersaries into power merely
because he has faults to find with
such accounts as he, has seen of exist
ing conditions or recent events.--N.
Y. Tribune.

Canton, Oct. 12.-Mrs. George was
held to answer to common pleas court
at the conclusion of the preliminary
hearing yesterday and her case will
be investigated by the next grand
jury. The presiding justice of the
peace in passing on the case said there
was sufficient circumstantial evidence
connecting Mrs. George with the
shooting of George SaNton to justify
holding her for the investigation of
the higher courts. She is held on the
charge of murder in the first degree

A NEW MANAGER,
The Free siIverites Engage the We,
Nurse of Decadent
Bryanism.

The ink on the eastern democratic
state platforms repudiating the Chi
cago doctrines Of 1886 is hardly dry
before the western and southwestern
democratic leaders make their re-
sponse. And it is a response with
most unmistaka BILE ring of silver. Con-
temptuously as the eastern, democrats
treated the dogma of free silver, their
opinions have been still more con-
temptuously met by the western men
in the appointment of Coin" Harvey
to be "the general manager" of the
democratic party.
If Harvey is not the father of the
free silver cause he has been at least
its most devoted and efficient wet
nurse. He has toiled for it, argued for
it, and lied for it unsparingly. His
lying was SO specious and plausible
that it duped thousands and thousands
Of honest men who supposed that his
fraudulent lectures at the Art insti-
tute were the reports of actual occur
rences instead of being the mendaeious
product of his own Imagination.
And this is the man that James X.
Jones, chairman of the national dem
ocratic committee; Gov. Stone of Mis-
souri,, John 7. Altgeld, William V. Al
len and Senator Teller elevate ITO the
position of general manager of the
democratic party and its "allied
forces" to provide ways and means 'to
further the cause of bimetallism and
overthrow the corrupt republican dom
ination of this country"
If the arts of imposture can prevail
there is little question that Harvey will
prove a second Cagliostro and make
somebody, presumably the silver mine
owners, come down handsomely. 1t
will undoubtedly take good deal of
money to make the silver cause pre-
sentable in 1900, and that is the year
to which these men are looking for
ward.
1t is apparent from this move that
the silver democrats intend to dispense
with the electoral vote of the eastern
states and turn all their energies 10
carrying the west and south. There
il is that the silver battle will be
fought if the question survives until
1900, as the silver men are now plan
ming.
To defeat this move and bring nll
these Vaccinations to naught all that
is necessary is to carry the present
congressional elections for sound
money. And to this end no effort must
be spared ON the part of all those who
so triumphantly elected Mr.. Mckinley
| two years ago. We must not wait for
the campaign of 1900, but make the
fight to-day, when everything is in our
favor. Success now means success in
1900.
For 30 years the democratic party
| has been noted for its blunders, but
| in all that time we can recall no sue h
blunder as this appointment of Har-
vey. In the face of an aggressive, de-
| termfn ed and, victorious enemy il splits
| its forces into two factions, and puts
| at, the head of one of them man whose
only qualification for the place is that
| by means of brazen falsehoods he once
deceived a very large number of his
| countrymen. Win the democratic par
! tv. the steadfast rank and file, north,
| south, east and west, rally under such
a man ?-Chicago Times-Ilerald.

A PROTECTION LESSON.
Figures Which show the Benefits De-
rived from n Republic
an Tariff.

In all the range of practice and
theory, as told in innumerable polit'
ical economies, nothing shows the
value of protection in a more forcible
way than history of the tin-plate
industry in this country. 1t is mon
ument to the value Of protection.
When il was first proposed to place
protective duty on tin plate the idea
was scoffed at. Free trade journal;
fairly frothed in their attempts to
show that tin plate could not be made
in competition with the Welsh pro
ducers. That was long before the act
of 1851. When the law was enacted
the industry was born, though at
the end of the first year the produc'
ton amounted to less than 14,OOO,0OC
pounds. In 1893 it jumped to 100000
coo pounds. It has continued to grow
with amazing rapidity ever since, un-
til the product in 1897 was but trif1e
less than 45O,000,o00 pounds, and the
output for the present year will be
larger by 200,000,000 pounds than the
production in 1897.
In the meantime, the importations
nave ldlIGu from l,UtO.OOo-pbp pohh"1
in 1891 to less than 200,000,000 pounds
the estimate for the present year. In
asmuch as tin plate is simply steel
sheets timed. or plated with tin and
zinc, very large part of the cost is
in labor. Hence there is being given
to labor Gs it's share a sum not much,
if any, less than $1O,000n00 per annum.
The figures given completely refute
the old-time theories of the free
traders. 1t has been done time and
time again, but not in way so strik-
ing as here set forth. And more than
that. the price, while slightly higher
for year or two. is probably lower
now than during the year we import
ed 1,O0O. .O00.OOO pounds, and in quail
ity is not whit inferior to the Welsh
plate, where they have been making it
for centuries.-Cincinna Comme ercial
