SATURDAY, AUGUST 27, 1892.

Mow yonr weeds and don't postj^one it another day.

THE Harper's Weekly, which idolizeB Grover, reluctantly admits that the Republican doctrine of reciprocity is wise and statesmanlike.

A CAMPAIGN poet hands in the following Mother Goose rhyme: 15a, ba, black sheep uvc you ny woo I't

Yes, sir: yes, sir two bags lull. One for Harrison and one lor Held, Hut none for Brooksliire

Or any of his breed.

IN the Star's syndicate free trade matter it is stated that there is a tariff duty of 45 p«r cent on sewing machines. Sewing machines are not mentioned in the tariff att and consequently there is no duty of any kind, either advalorem or specific, on this article. False in one false in all.

THK Review says: "In agricultural States there is not exceeding $6 per capita in circulation, while in Rhode Island and other manufacturing states the circulation is $300 per capita." Yet the Review and all other Democratic papers discourage manufactures in Indiana. Consistent.

WHEN Hon. E. V. Brooksliire returned home he visited the scenes of his childhood on the classic Haw Creek, and when he walked out in the broad fields the sheep ran in terror, bleating in dismay. Their white coats had been disgraced by his vote to place them upon the free list and every sheep blushed for shame.

IT is claimed by the Democratic press that foreign wage workers can afford to work at lower wages than Americans because they can live cheaper. That being the case, how would our laborers Btand free trade wages It is not claimed by anyone that the cost of living can be greatly reduced in this country and a reduction of tariff would reBult in a reduction of wages and consequent suffering by our laborers. Let the laboring man think about thiB before he votes the Democratic ticket

THE Star never said nor does the Democratic party say that :a tariff on wool, wheat or any cereal increases the price. It does not affect the prices on these articles in the least and the Republican party knows it does not and can not. All the reason a tariff was ever put on such articles was to hoodwink the farmer.—Star.

Democrats assume a position one day only to abandon it the next. There was not a speech made at the last session of Congress by any Democrat in favor of putting wool on the free list, who did urge as the only reason therefor that it would affoid our woolen mills cheaper raw material. But now, since the farmers are beginning to complain, they are told that the tariff on wool doeB nothing to its price. What other possible jason could be urged for putting wool on the free list except that it would make wool cheaper? If putting wool on the free list will not tend to make wool cheaper, then what earthly use is there in giving away to foreign wool growers the $2,000,000 duty they now pay on the wool they sell in thiB country This would be legislation entirely in the interest of foreigners. It would be relieving them of a tax, without any benefit whatever to the consumers of wool goods in this country.

PRICES OF AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS. The Star and the Review, Swallowtail and Ragged Reuben organs of the Democracy, are just now filling lip their columns with syndicate matter which for barofaced misrepresentations con cernicg the prices of agricultural implements and hardware not only take the cake but the entire bakery. The "stuff" is prepared by the National Democratic Committee and professes to give the prices made by the manufacturers to home dealers and to fore gn dealers, and attempts to show that foreigners buy implements and hardware for about one-half the price that American dealers pay. This charge has been time and again refuted by the manu facturers, but with the average Democrat a lie well stuck to is as good as the truth. But this part of the fabric which they have built has as good foundation as the prices which are quoted as manufacturers' prices to home dealers. A hardware and implement dealer of this city was seen this morning by THE JOURNAL and asked concerning the prices given. The dealer said that the plow quoted at $18 his firm sold at 87 to $8, and the S8 plow they sold at S3 to S4. The mower which is quoted at SG5 is sold here at $40. The hay tedder quoted at $45 is sold by this firm at from $28 to $30. The hay rake quoted at $25 is sold here at $16. Cutters which are quoted at $5 are 3old at retail her3 for $4. and the twohorse cultivator quoted at $26 is sold by this firm at $16 and $17. The pi ices printed in these organs are manufacturers' prices. If the retailer can sell these same implements for 50 per cent, less than the prices quoted he must necessarily buy them at figures upon which he can realize a profit which are still lower. And this is the kind of meat that is fed to Democratic Cicsars.

A CAPITAL ILLUSTRATION OF DEMOCRATIC FOOLISHNESS. It was claimed and proclaimed by all the Democratic speakers in Congress, when the McKinley bill was under discussion, that the proposed increase of the tariff on carpets would so increase the price of carpets as to be oppressive on our people. This enormous increase in the "tariff tax" on carj^ets was to forbid the use of carpets by the poor people any longer. Now, at the end of the eecond year since the increased duty on carpets, what is the result? A staff correspondent of the New York Tribune lately visited the extensive enrpet factory of S. Sanford & Sons, at Amsterdam, and in a personal interview with the senior Santord, who has been in the business for fifty years, learned the following facts: That while the tariff on carpets was greatly increased by the McKinly bill, the prices of all kinds of carpets are lower than before the bill was passed. Mr. Sanford said: "We are selling tapestries from 40 to 62.V cents pei yard, and velvets from 75 cents to $1.15 per yard. Upon all these grades of goods there has been a reduction of at least ten per cent, since the year the McKinley act was passed. In fact, there has been a reduction of the same percentage on all grades of carpets. In my fifty years of experience I have never known carpets to be as low as they are now yet, on account of the great demand for our goods, and the increased volume of sales, our business is satisfactory. It is the sharp home competition, which has sprung up under the McKinley bill, that has brought down prices. My father sold carpets for $3 that I am now selling for 62J cents." In v^w of these facts, what becomes of the constant howl that the tariff increases prices to the extent of the duty imposed. The duty on carpets was largely increased, by the McKinley bill, yet we find that the price has gone down instead of up.

THE villainous and outrageotis Democaatic gerrymander of the State for legislative purposes is to be tested in the courts as to its constitutionality. The question has been periodically agitated since the enactment of the law, but now it begins to assume shape. The decisions of the courts of Wisconsin and Michigan have given new life to the talk. There can be no doubt as to the results, as the gerrymander of Indiana is equally as vicious as that of these two Btates.

WALLIE SPARKS, in conversation with some P. O. S. of A. boys concerning the Review's attack on that organization, denounced the editor as a blanked fool. But this denunciation was for private ears and not for publication.

TnE modus vivandi between the Swallowtail and Ragged Reuben organs has been re-established so far that they both can use syndicate matter donouncing American manu facturers.

WASHINGTON*, Aug. 25.—Thu official confirmation of the rep irts of the prevalence of Asiatic cholera at Havre and Hamburg received at the state department has caused genuine alarm here. Lines of steamers ply directly between these ports and New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, and steps will be immediately taken to fumigate baggage from the infected ports. The cholera is so fatal and so quick spreading, however, that at the treasury department it is considered likely that still more rigid measures will have to be taken to keep the dread plague from these shores. Each time the cholera has become epidemic in Europe it has, in spite of the most careful sanitary regulations, swept across the seas and invaded America, and in fact covered well-nigh the entire world before running its course. The ravages of the great scourge of 1830 and 1850 were both terrible, both in this country and Europe. The last time Asiatic cholera was epidemic here was in 1S73.

Jtags Denied Entry.

A circular relating to the importation of rags, prepared at the Marine hospital service and having the approval of the treasury department, was issued Wednesday. It will be sent to collectors of customs, medical officers of the United States Marine hospital service, agents of foreign steamship lines, local quarantine officers and others. After quoting a provision from the act to prevent the introduction of contagious or infectious diseases into the United States, it says:

It having been shown thac an epidemic of cholera prevails in Persia, India and Russia •mil that it has also reached Germany, Austria and France, and in view of the danger which arise through the importation of rags from cholera infected districts and of the Jifttoulty through their reshipment at various ports of accurately determining the localities in which rags are actually gathered furthermore, because of the prevalence from time to time in various countries of smallpox, scarlet fever, diphtheria and other contagious diseases liable to be conveyed bv rags, therefore it is hereby ordered that on and alter September 20, 1892, rags from any foreign port will be refused entry into the United States unless said rags are accompanied by a certificate from the consular olllcer at the port of shipment to the effect that they have been disinfected in accordance with the methods heroin described.

Quarantined at Philadelphia. PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 25.—Having been officially notified of the prevalence cholera in foreign ports the board-, of health adopted stringent measures to prevent the disease being introduced to the country through this port. Hereafter all vessels arriving- from cholera-infected ports will be detained at quarantine until all the baggage, bedding, etc., of the immigrants aboard has been disinfected.

Immigrants littlieil at Hostou. IJOSTOX, Aug. 25. Wednesday forty more Russian .Jews were treated to a bath at the government's expense at the quarantine station. Not only were they bathed in water to which hail been added carbolic acid, thai any cholera germs which might attach to their persons should be killed, but every rag of clothing which they boasted, as well as their other personal effects, was thoroughly fumigated. The federal and local health officers are on the qui vive that the dreaded scourge may not invade this port.

Canada Is Defenseless.

MONTREAL, Can., Aug. 25.—The outbreak of clio.era in Hamburg has awakened the citizens of Montreal to the fact that this city is defenseless should the scourge be brought here in any of the vessels which trade directly between Montreal and that port. The boats of the Hamburg-American Packet Company arrive here weekly from Hamburg and by their means The disease may be introduced through Canada at any time. Canada is utterly unable to cope with any epidemic at this time.
