The Republican leaders who are fCr-
ever prating about protecting" Amer
lean labor from competition with the
products of the ''pauper labor Of
Europe, propose to admit to open COM
petition with American labor by an
nexation something worse than the
product of the pauper labor of Europe
ever was, namely, semi-savage slave
labor, itself, from the Philippines ana
other half-civilized islands We have
wrested from Spain.
This is protecting American labor
with a vengeance, and it is done by
the very men who always ask-yea, de-
mand, as a right-labor's support ~
the polls.
The mock friendship and hypocritical
solicitude of these Republican leaders
for labor's welfare is a woeful farce of
many years standing, but labor has
finally seen through the old deception.
There is not an intelligent working
man anywhere who is still blind TO
the glazing false pretense of these
political hypocrites who have won the
workingmans confidence in the past
but to deceive him and betray him.
The Republican leaders will fool
labor no more-on the old lines a.t
least.

Ex-senator Hill. of New York, at

Ex-senator HILL of New York, ad-
vises voters to knock down McCul-
lagh's armed Republican thugs who
may attempt to deprive honest voters
of the suffrage by arresting them at
the polls. Senator Hill reasons that a
man would be justified in so treating
a thief he caught stealing his watch
or his pocketbook and he holds that
a mans vote is quite as necessary TO
his well-being as a citizen. All of
which is most excellent reasoning.
McCullaghs partisan thugs exist in
violation of law and they should be
treated as any other set of lawbreak-
ers who would attempt to interfere
with the constitutional rights of the
citizen.

~ I Word III the above fhsf ~ hot
been shown 70 be proven conclusive
" to be absolutely and unqualifedly
false. The conscienceless Republican
organs extreme desperation is evil
denced by its temerity in daring at
this time in the face of the positive
proof of its falsity to attempt TO
bolster up its false showing regarding
the States financial condition.
We need not again go into details
to show how untrue the Intelligencer' s
conclusions are nor the hocus poeus
method by which it gets it's cash bal
ance in the treasury.
AS to that cash balance, not cent
of it is due to the financial wisdom or
economy of the Republican State adj
ministration Most of it, that is not
due to extraordinary items that will
not occur again and are in no way
creditable to Republican management,
is due to the collection Of back taxes,
for which the partisan legislature of
1895 refused to provide when the last
Democratic administration asked for
the means of collecting these taxes.
By this deliberate and partisan act
that unpatriotic Republican Legisla-
ture kept more than quarter of mil
lion dollars out of the State Treasury
that should have gone to the credit of
the last Democratic administration,
later providing for its collection by the
succeeding Republican administration.
And owing to this dishonorable and
viciously partisan hocus pocus the
present administration is enabled to
show most of it's present cash balance.
1t is largely money which a partisan
Republican Legislature refused to per-
NIT Democratic State administration
to collect, the remainder as shown,
being made up of extraordinary items
which will not occur again and which
can in no way be placed to the credit
fact remains, as stated the other day,
that Treasurer Kendall receipted to
his Democratic predecessor for 81 1885,
472.01 in the three State funds when
the State government went into the
hands of the Republicans, March 4,
1897, and the total cash balance in
the treasury at the close of the fiscal
year was only 81 ,o62, S6O.4S; that the
total expenditures of the first two years
of Republican rule exceed those of the
last two years of Democratic admins
tration by the sum of S297,152, and
that gross waste and extravaganza
have marked the present administra-
ton of STATE officials.

FALsEHooD PILED ON FALsEHOoD.

FALsEHOOD PILED ON FALSEHOOD.
Our organic neighbor, the Intelligent
Ger, is in fever of desperation as it
sees the writing on the WALL Its strug-
giles to do something to stave off COM
ing defeat are really pitiable.
Editor Pecksniff never had reputa-
ton for veracity, but the demagogic
talsehoods he is prOmulgating these
latter days of the campaign are actually
shocking to even hardened politicians
who know Pecksniff and his ways. Our
neighbor has simply thrown whatever
sneaking regard for moderation and
decency he may have had to the winds
in this last week before the election.
His mildest Offense is to refer to the
worldwide panic beginning under the
tail-end of Harrison's administration
and continuing under the second ad-
ministration of Cleveland, as due to
the Democratic administration, bawllng
at his readers: do you want to return
to these Democratic hard times."
While we may not have an over
whelming respect for the intelligence
OF those who day after day will read
Pecksniff's drivel, we hardly think
Pecksniff is warranted in assuming
that his readers are idiots and fools.
Our neighbor prints table that pre-
tends to compare democratic and Re-
publican prices" of farm products for
1896 and 1885, which will be highly
amusing to farmers. not only on ac-
count of its utter unreliability, but be-
cause the prices it gives for the present
are fatty contradicted in Pecksniff's
own market reports ON another page
of the same issue. For example, Peck
sniff quotes sheep in this year of Re
publican prices" as high as 81, when
his own market reports-in the same
paper, mind you-give the prices for
sheep in Chicago at from $3.15 to s4.75,
and this, of course, is higher than is
paid on the farm.
Pecksniff gets his low prices for 1896
by quoting the lowest of that dull
year and his high prices for 1898 by
taking the highest quotations and add
ing sometimes fifty per cent. to them.
This is Pecksniffian honesty. Of
course, his quotations are not meant
for farmers, but to fool other people
into believing we are prosperous. The
farmers know better.
Those prices that have gone up of late
are not the prices of farm products,
but the prices of the farmers and the
workingman's necessaries controlled
by the trusts under protection of the
Dingley tariff, which, while robbing the
people, is a rank failure as a revenue
producer.
The farmers are mighty well aware
of this and the workingmen, too, know
how far dollar will go in these piping
times of McHanna prosperity.

MANUFACTURED "PR0SPERITY,'

Pecksniff's prosperity talk yes
terday had other meat in it than his
absurd effort to show that farmers are
getting double present market prices
for their products-which would be an
anomaly. indeed. There were three
columns of local prosperity" too.
To set the latter down as a fake is
to put the case too mildly. Pecksniff
endeavors to make the people of this
city believe they are prosperous when
every intelligent merchant and bust
ness man in the city knows that except
in time of actual business panic things
were never to "close," nor business in
general conducted on such narrow
margins.
Our neighbor as usual is careful ia
present but one side of the case. He
speaks only Of concerns that are active

HOW EIGuRES CAN LIE.

The Intelligencer gives another ex-
cellent illustration of how figures can
be made to lie like all sin in certain
hands by rehashing what it calls the
has had to go back of the ridiculous re-
port of Treasurer Kendall, of which
he spoke so highly the other day and
which was thoroughly exposed in these
columns as absolutely worthless and
unreliable. In this, Pecksniff, himself,
confesses the utter worthlessness of
that so-oalled report.
But to the 'figgers,' which our
neighbor presents. He says:
1t is the public's business to know that
1t was deceived up to the fourth of March,
1881; that deficiencies amounting TO thou
sands of dollars existed. which the people
knew nothing about: that at the time the
present administration took charge the
State fund was practically bankrupt-the
treasury was depleted. and that the only
reason the books and the reports didn't
show it, and that more than half mil
lican treasurer. was that Democratic de-
ficiencies and appropriations and unpaid
bills yet remained to be settled: that the
Republican administration has settled all
these inheritances from its predecessor,
and has now magnificent balance to the
credit of the State fund. and not a dollar
unpaid nor an item against it showing a
deficiency.
Thus Pecksniff SUMMARIZES the sit
uation from his point Of view, or, rath-
er, as he makes his figYfe tell it. suf-
