in time makes the st. Paul central
figure in the transportation world
between the east and the Rocky
Mountains.
The Democrat takes pleasure in
publishing these facts, as the ST. Paul
is Mineral Points road. AS an
nounced in this paper last week, a
rate of $29.75 from Mineral Point "To
Colorado and back" is given by the
st Paul, and this rate will remain
in force every day this summer, the
return limit being October 81. Two

President Cleveland urged Congress

Mr.. Cannon voted against the joint
resolution. Is it not, then, little
impudent, even for chartered ram

at this late day with his comically
solemn denunciation of any man who

REPUBLICAN STAGNATlON.
Present Leaders of the Party Are
Dismal Failures.

Present Leaders of the Party Are
Dismal Failures.
The great majority of the Republican
party used to worship James G. Blaine
and the policies that he stood for. He
favored reciprocity, especially with
South American countries, and in
speech at Waterville, Me, Aug. %,
1890, he said:
"Our great need is expansion. /
mean expansion of trade with coun-
tries where we can find profitable ex-
changes. We are not seeking annexa-
ton of territory. Certainly we do not
desire it unless it should come by the
volition Of a people who might ask the
priceless boon of a place under the flag
of the Union l feel sure that for a
long time to come the people of the
United States will be wisely content
with our present area and not launch
upon any scheme Of annexation. At
the same time l think we should be
unwisely content if we did not seek to
engage in what the younger Pitt so
well termed annexation of trade"
The Republican leaders today are
distinctly opposed to just what Mr..
Blaine was striving for. He little
thought that within a few years a Re-
publican president would be forcibly
annexing countries not in this hemi-
sphere and Republican congress
would be standing pat and refusing to.
ratify reciprocity treaties that McKin-
ley had arranged.
The Blaine Republican must, like the
few followers of Abe Lincoln that are
left, view with dismay the dismal fail
ure of their present leaders, who fear
to legislate on important matters, but
in place adopt policy Of legislative
stagnation. Does any one believe that
Blaine would stand pat at the pressr'
juncture2

PROSPERITY AND PLUMBER.
The TariF Allows Trusts to ExtOrt
High Prices.


High Prices.
The full dinner pail and prosperity
cry Of the Republicans viii have to be
laid away in cold storage for another
campaign. The numerous strikes and
lockouts, the large number OF men
hunting Tor a Job and the railroads and
other large industries reducing their
force jof workmen must be causing
a scanty table in many homes. With
the nu~uber of bank failures greater
than at any time since the height OF
the panic prosperity cannot be very
prevalent These and other causes
have had a moss disastrous effect upon
general business, for, according to the
latest report of business failures, they
far exceed previous years since 1897
Dunn's report for the first quarter OF
this year gives the number as 1874
and the amount as $48,066,721, and it
is to be feared that for the quarter
just ended the number will show q
further increase.
If the Republicans had not falsely
boosted in their platform that a Re
publican tariff always has been fol-
lowed by business prosperity, the fact
that the Dingley bill was trust breed
er and overshot the mark would not be
SO remarkable. The constant advance
in prices through the enormous pro-
lection to the trusts that the Ding
ley law provided has been too great
q strain upon the pockets of the great
majority of the people, and they have
been forced to curtail their purchases.
Hence the large number Of failures of
business men, The Republican plat
form could have truthfully said that
the Republican tariff has been followed
by trust prosperity.

GROWTH OF SOCIALISM.
Directly Due to the Republican Poll
icy of Protection.

Directly Due to the Republican Poll
icy of Protection.
The rapid growth of Socialism is di-
rectly due to the Republican policy of
protection and subsidies. 1t leads
men to believe that the government
should care for them as it protects the
trusts and corporations. Seeing the
tariff barons are made rich by special
laws, why cannot, they ask, all of us
have our legal share of the plunder2
Instead Of numerous trusts why not
have a national trust in which every
one can be a stakeholder? Protection
thrives on public extravaganza and
breeds corruption, another argument
for the Socialist.
Honest Republicans who have been
led to Believe in protection should
think of the broad road they are driv-
ing in and the revolution and destruc-
ton of republican government that
must be met at the end of their jour
ney. The only salvation for the masses
is their being led to believe that
equality of opportunity for alP'-the
fundamental doctrine of Democracy
will destroy monopoly and give each
his share for his labor without the
paralysis Of individual effort that So
clalism would produce

THE LEAvEN WORKING.
Tariff Reform Idea HAS stilI Many
supporters In Iowa.

The National Manufacturers associ-
alton at it's late meeting at Pittsburg
committed itself to the policy of reci-
procity in competitive products. A res
Olution was adopted calling for a per-
manent tariff and reciprocity commits
sion and for presidential authority to
issue proclamations giving effect to reel
procity treaties. The Des Moines Reg
lister concludes that
"Had the manufacturers idea been
incorporated in the Dingley bill every
one OF the KassoE trade arrangements
would today be in full operation, to the
great advantage Of American indus

that trust ruled state, that high tariff

than they will submit to.

ORIENTAL LANTERNS.
HOW They Are Made and Uses 20
which They Are pat.

The lantern Of the east is as old as
civilization Its primary object is to
protect the. fame from sudden drafts.
Beyond this is the concentration Of
light for the convenience of a reader
and, last and least, the regard for beau
ty The oldest form is a perforated
cylinder or rectangular box. OF this
type there are numberless varieties, old
and new The ancient ones which have
been preserved are OF iron, copper and
brass, nearly all simple in construction
and finish, but a few richly decorated.
Occasionally one runs across lanterns
made OF silver or ivory. These come
from palaces or temples and in most
instances are richly carved Not In
frequently the perforations are fitted
with pieces of colored glass, rock crys-
tai, amethyst and garnet.
In China and Japan the travellers or
street lantern is a feature. This is
sphere or ellipsoid ranging from six
inches to two and even three feet in
diameter made Of oiled paper, cloth or
silk. In Cathay this lantern is used to
show the rank Of its owner by the col
oIing or inscriptions on it's exterior.
The humble citizen uses a small affair
in white or red, the official of low rank
a sphere a foot in diameter hanging in
front Of his sedan chair while the high
mandarin employs a huge lantern, re-
sDlendent with his titles in colers, car
ried by an ablehodied cody who walks
a yard in advance.
1t is in house lanterns that the great
est variety is found. OF these the gen
eral type is a four. five, six, seven,
eight or ten sided box, whose length is
usually twice its width Each side is
pane of glass, plain. ground. frosted
or decorated. From the angles hang
pendants Of many sorts. Thee frame
work is usually Of teak. but ebony.
rosewood. mahogany and other woods
are employed. Often the sides Of the
lanterns are alternately wood and
glass, the latter being covered Will
ground designs and the former richly
carved in relief or inset with ivory.
mother-of-pearl or silver.
Upon the pendants the artiicers put
their hardest work Some are made Of
Oslored beads, strung and massed With
fantastic shapes and knots. Others
are strings of little bells, which ring
with every passing breeze. Lines OF
glittering tinted glass balls betray the
origin of favorite mode of decorating
Christmas trees. Quaint objects in

nected by threads, chains or wires, con.

PLUMBERS THE FARMER.
Policy Of Protection Places a Heavy
Burden ON His Shoulders.

Policy of Protection Places a Heavy
Burden ON His Shoulders.
The policy of protection has, from
the beginning of our government, been
a burden, and a heavy one, upon the
farmer. 1t is pity that our farmers,
who are the backbone of protection to-
day, could not read and learn the les
sons of history. What Congressman
Smith of South Carolina said in our
first congress, in 1889 is as true today
as it was then. He said:
1T has been said, and justly said, sir,
that the states which adopted the con-
stitution expected its administration
would be conducted with favorable
hand. The manufacturing states
wished the encouragement of manu-
features, the maritime states the en-
enlargement Of shipbuilding and the
agricultural states the encouragement
of agriculture. We have laid heavy
duties upon foreign goods to encour-
age domestic manufactures, we are
now about to lay a tonnage duty for
the encouragement Of commerce, but
has any one step been taken to en-
courage the agricultural states? So
far from it that all that has been done
operates against their interest every
duty we have laid will be heavily felt
by South Carolina, while nothing has
been done to assist or even encourage
her or her agriculture"

COST or LIVING.
The Party In Power Has Raised 1t to
the Limit.

The Party In Power Has Raised 1t to
the Limit.
"But may the good Lord deliver us
from another period when living ex-
penses are cheap" was the pious wish
expressed by Secretary Shaw in his
Wilmington (Del) speech.
This litany of stand pat is just now
abundantly answered. The party in
pOwer-not to debate the divine source
of it's authority has made the cost Of
living high enough to satisfy the most
exacting.
The trouble is that it has not graft
fed that ether desire stated by Mr..
Shaw, employment for all our people
at given wage" Some $4,000 ex-
perienced men from the railroad ranks
alone are paying high prices for tho
necessaries Of life on no wages at all.
To ask these men, some of whom live
in Wilmington, to join in the praise Of
high prices is a piece of folly that
might tempt the president not to put
the other eight cabinet members on the
stump.-New York World.

A surprise For workers.

Those people who are wage earners
will be glad to know that their salaries
have been increased at an astonishing
rate the past few years, for Secretary
Shaw says the figures are being pre-
pared by the highest authority to prove
1t; also that the increased cost of liy-
ing has merely kept pace with the
wages. That will be quite a surprise
to those who are finding it difficult to
make both ends meet.

Money standard Not an Issue.

Can any candid man say or will any
sane man fear that the gold standard
will be any more put in jeopardy By
the election Of Judge Parker than the
election Of Mr.. Roosevelt? Il regard
the gold standard as firmly and frrevo-
cably established and shall act accord
ingly," says the Democratic candidate,
and the convention takes him at his
word. 1t would be childish after that
to say that the monetary standard is
an issue in this campaign in the sense
Of being put in peril of change by any
possible result of the contest.-New
