SATUiiDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1893.
THK TROUBLE WITH MR. CLEVELAND'S STATESMANSHIP. The genuine statesman is the man who has thoroughly studied and mastered the industrial affairs of his country and prepared himself to provide against any detriment thereto. Such a man Mr. Cleveland emphatically iB not. His intentions may be good. No doubt he has a strong desire to gain and maintain the people's confidence but is is evident he has never made a study of our great industrial affairs. A few maxims from the school men and doctrinaires constitute the sum of his politioal wisdom. He has nearly all his life engaged in narrow pursuits, and has given little attention to the condition of the people at large, their occupations, pursuits, their trials aud misfortunes. He has not entered into the homes of the working people to learn from their every day life what policy is beet for them. The great snbjeot of protection to our manufacturing industries he has studied no further than the foolish idea that a tariff increases the price of manufactured commodities to the consumer an nn idea that all experience has shown to be utterly groundless. The McKinlev bill put a tariff on wool and increased the duty on cloth and clothing, and yet there has never been a time in the world's history when clothing was as cheap as it has been under the present tariff law. But Mr. Cleveland does not know this because be does not make inquiry at the stores where the clothing the common people is bought and sold. He looks into bis book and sees hie maxim that "the tariff is a tax," and goes no further into the subject. A different kind of man is William McKinley. He has spent his life among the people. He knows how they ^live, what they work at, what wages they get and what they are compelled to Bpend for necessaries, and thus masters the great problem of statesmanship. He studies markets and not maxims, to ascertain whether or not the tariff is a tax upon the people. He goes to the store to learn whether or not the McKinly bill imposed a burden on tbe poor by increasing the price of their olothing. It is this kind of study that has made a genuine Btateeman of William McKinlev, and the lack of it that caused Mr. Cleveland to make a great blunder which resulted in so much disaster to the country.
WEARY OF CLEVELANDISM. The New l'ork Evening Post, the leading organ of tbe Mugwumps, and a blatant free trade paper, is very tired of the sham and pretense of the Democratic party. For ten long years it has worshiped at the shrine of Grover Cleve land. In its eyes he was t.he Alpha and Omega of whatever was true and beautiful. It seems to have awakened to a keen realization of the fact that it is impossible for a man to be better than the great majority of his party. The next day after the elections last Tuesday tbe Post broke forth as follows: (lo.not suppose many, if any, votes turned solely yesterday on Uie Van Alen or Koosevell appointments, or on tbe flreneral "revel In spoils" wlilcb bus gone on all over the country. Hut tliey liuve undoubtedly deepened tbe imprcBRlon of Democratic Incompetency and hypocrisy and dishonesty which the geueral situation lias created.
The notion which seems to have taken hold of the Administration that the great rlBlnK ol the people apilnst the tariff last year was In some sort a vote of conlldence In the Democratic party. Is an hallucination. It would take a long period of good t)ehavlor to get people to believe In Die Democrats as they liave believed, and do believe, In the Republicans. The Democrats have not a day to spare In the matter of right living. There Is nothing whatever standing to their credit. They cannot all'ord a single escapade. Their ixjrform auees in this HtiiU*. therefore, surpassing any ihilig In Amorican history In audacity and atrocity, musft. be set down as little short of insane. The open aliianco of the Governor and the two Senators with the criminal classes lor criminal purposes Is Burely an unprecedented incident In American politics.
This could not be improved on if it had been said by a straight Republican paper.
THE Democratic party in Ohio is somewhat in the condition of an old gentleman in Kentucky that Henry S. Lane used to delight in telling about. He was a candidate for the Legislature, canvassed his county with great zeal, and succeeded in convincing himself that he was going to be elected. When the votes were counted out he found that he had reeeived but a single vote in the entire county. Telling a friend of his great defeat he said he had found out, through theeleotion, that he was not only unpopular but blanked 3dions,
Two TEARS ago the working people of the United States were persuaded to put the free trade cup to their lips. They found it exceedingly bitter and dashed it to the earth.
ORGANIZED CHARITY.
It Will be AocoiuDlished This Year and tbe Dependent Poor Taken Oare 'of In a Systematic Manner.
Last February an attempt was made to organize the charity work of Orawfordsville on a basis of systematic work suoh 8B has been so successful in Indianapolis under the management of the late Rev. Oscar McCullocb, For some reason ths project was not pushed at that time but the promoters never thought for a minute of giving up such a worthy object and so yesterday afternoon there was a meeting .at the Y. MC. A. to revive the interest. Among those present were Rev. G. 1'. Fuson, A. 0. Jennison, Mrs. Cicero McCluer, Mrs. Robert Larsh, Miss Mnry Hovey, and Mrs. T. H. B. McCain. After some general discussion a committee was appointed ta revise the constitution and prosecute the work of orgnnizing. The committee is composed of A. C. Jennison, Mrs. Cicero McClure and Mrs. T. H. B. McCain and they hope to have things in working order by the time cold weather eels in. The limes are hard and there is every reason to expect that the organization will have plenty of work to do. There is some talk of engaging N. C. McCay as secretary. He would be willing to take the place as long as he is in the city which will probably be several months yet.
The society proposes to accomplish its objects: By bringing about co-operation among all charitable agencies.
By a system of registration to prevent imposture. Bx securing thorough investigation and the most suitable action in all cases.
By obtaining from existing charities the precise help needed or By giving relief when immediate aid is needed, and when all other sources fail.
By a system of visiting which shail substitute friendliness for alms, and inspire to thrift, self respect, and better modes of life.
By careful study of the causes of pauperism, and of the best methods of dealing with destitution and degradation.
Under the new regime each household and each business firm would be provided with blank forms for referring unknown applicanta for aid to the general secretary. Tramps and professional beggars of all kindB will then have their cases investigated and will be dealt with accordingly. Children will be saved a life of pauperism which always leads to crime, and habits of thrift and industry will be inculcated, It is estimated that each dependent individual cost6 tbe communitj $120 a year. At Terre Saute tbe society rid the city of GO dependents in one year and therefore justly claim thBt they saved for the taxpayers the sum of $7,200. The cost of carrying on tbe entire work for the year WOB only SI,100. Similar results might be obtained in Crawfordsville. In Terre Haute the cases of 355 families were in vestigated and only 115 of them were found worthy, or less than 33 per cent. So it can be estimaled what a waste of charity there is in Crawfordsville every year. The new society would work to save this waste.
The following constitution shows in detail the plans of the organization: ARTICLE I.
