Efleet of Reciprocity with Brazil.

Ou the 30tli of June the reciprocity agreement with Brazil had been in existence fifteen months, and the statistics show that the imports from that country into the United States increased $56,836,205, and the exports from the United States to that country $1,764,483. The total exports to Brazil during that period amounted to $18,044,452, being an increase of 10.84 per cent, as compared with the fifteen months ended March 81, 1890. The items of exports were as follows: Breadstuffs (almost entirely flour), $6,328,794 cotton manufactures, $803,777 chemicals, drugs, dyes and medicines, $1,068,799 iron and steel and manufactures of, $3,199,650 illuminating mineral oils, $1,456,931 provisions (mainly bacon, hams and lard), $1,540,912 lumber, $1,016,288 all other articles, $2,560,701.

It was and is and always will be the policy of the Republican party to protect the American wage earner as against the foreign manufacturer by a generous tariff on importations. It was and Is and always will be the policy of the Democratic party to reduce the rates of wages by enforcing the heresy of free trade for the protection of the foreign manufacturer and the pauperizing of the American wage earr"

There is one pauper in free trade England to every thirty-nine people. In America there is one to every 680. Low wages, poor living and in old age the poor farm. If the free trade party in America is striving to enlarge the number of paupers, it is advocating the right policy to bring about such a result.

|Special Correspondence.}

WASHINGTON,

Sept. 26.—There was

one conspicuous failure during the Grand Army reunion. That was in the effort rnado by the Democrats to capture soldier votes. One would scarcely expect that the Democratic party would think a gathering of old soldiers a sufficiently fertile field for Democratic work to make it even worth while attempting to make converts to the Democratic cause in it. But the situation is such a desperate one that the Democrats havo stopped at nothing.

Wolves in Sheep's Clothing.

The result was that documents, especially prepared to influence the soldiers, were sent over herefrom the Democratic headquarters in New York in great quantities, and men employed to wear the Grand Army badge anil distribute them broad cast among the old soldiers. It need scarcely be said that this fact when it became known created the greatest indignation among the veterans gathered here. It was also discovered that the Democrats have adopted a form of campaign badge which so closely resembles the Grand Army button that it can scarcely be detected as a counterfeit. This fact added to the indignation on the part of the old soldiers, who saw in it an attempt to make use of their nonpartisan organization for partisan purposes, after the Democrats had even refused to appropriate a penny in congress for the entertainment of the old soldiers. The contrast between the two parties was strongly marked in the apparent absence of efforts by the Republicans to use this gathering for political purposes.

Comparing Party Records.

One of the most conspicuous failures was the attempt made by Democratic emissaries to show that the Democratic party has been friendly to the soldier. Those who are familiar with the work of congress quickly met and defeated this effort. They showed from the records of congress that nine-tenths of the legislation favorable to the veterans of the late war originated with the Republican party, and that on almost every bill passed for the benefit of soldiers in the war of the rebellion a majority of the Democrats voted against the measure, and that every Republican voted for it. It was shown that in the aggregate of the votes upon the dozen or more great pension bills that have Locn passed by congress nearly two-thirds of the Democrats voted against the measures, and that out of the 1,300 Republican votes cast in the house upon these bills only two votes were against them.

Records of Presidential Candidates.

One thing that has come to the minds of the old soldiers gathered here in comparing the attitude of the two parties toward them has been the fact that every Republican president elected since the war has been a distinguished soldier ou the other hand, the only Democratic president served his country by a substitute. and of the entire list of Democratic nominees since the war only one has been a soldier.

One interesting feature of the occasion was the opportunity it gave for inquiry into the political prospects in various parts of the country. The gathering brought not only old soldiers of both parties, but many others who were drawn here to witness this great gathering of veterans. Talks with men from every part of the country show the Republican prospects to be extremely bright.

The "Assistant Democratic Paity."

The farmers and others interested iu the progress of the great northwest are evidently becoming rapidly awake to the fact that the third party is attempting to use them for the benefit of the Democracy. They see that a vote with the third party simply means a vote for Democratic success. The Democrats are quietly working through and with the third party destroy the Republican majority in those states which have heretofore been safely Republican. The thinking people of Illinois, Wisconsin, the Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas and Colorado see that a vote in any of those states with the People's party is really a vote with the Democrats. The success of the People's party in any of those states they now readily understand would mean not the success of any of the principles of that party, but the success of the Democratic party. It would mean the destruction of reciprocity, which has added millions of dollars to the sales of farm products and is opening markets for our grain and flour and meat, and absolutely driving British and German goods out of those markets and admitting our own in their place.

No "Wildcats0 Need Apply,

Another thing which the fanners of the northwest are rapidly discovering is that co-operation with the third party means a return to wildcat money, which caused the fanners euch great losses when state banks were in operation before the war. The third party is as much in favor of a return to this sort of currency as are the Democrats, but whether it is or not makes little difference, for the people now understand that in voting with the third people they are merely helping to bring about Democratic control of house, senate and presidency. "Landslide" in Manufacturing States.

Those coming from the manufacturing sections report a "land slide" in favor of the Republicans. Many manufacturers who have formerly been Democrats are now openly announcing their determination to co-operate with the Republicans, in the belief that the absolute free trade principles of the Democratic platform would when carried out destroy manufacturing industries and throw millions of people out of employment and millions of dollars of invested capital would be made valueless.

INTERESTING TO FARMERS.

One Year's Work Under the MoKlnley Turin1.

The importations of farm products in a natural or manufactured condition fell off over $50,000,000 in valuo during the first full year of tho McKinley law. Here are some of the figures:

The exports of farm productions increased nearly $150,000,000 in the first full year under the McKinley law and reciprocity. Here are some of tho figures:

"Hell (.ruimiiets" is the kind of bitlt Mr. Cleveland is reported as finding most effective for llshing at liuzzard's Uay. His friends in the west are using tho People's party as their Hell Grummet, and hope to cutcli enough Republican votes with it to deprive the grand old party of ilio electoral votes of certain states which have always been Republican. Hence a vote with the People's party merely means a vote to aid the Democrats.

The Northwestern Italubow.

The Democratic putty, if Intrusted with the control of the government, is now pledged, to repeal the tax on state bank issues, with a view to putting into circulation again, under such diverse legisla-* tion as the states may adopt, a flood of local bank issues. Only those who in the years before the war experienced the inconvenience and losses attendant upon the use of such money can appreciate what a return to that system involves.*— Harrison's Letter of Acceptance.

Always at 1'ar.

When a national bank closes its doors the notes hearing its name are just as valuable as those bearing the name of the best institution in the country. This is the result of the admirable Republican system of national banking, and this is the system which the Chicago convention demanded to have overthrown. The crazy declaration of that body in favor oi' a return to the abominable system of banking in vogue before the war, is an insult to the intelligence of the people and a menace to the finances of the country. Every voce with the Democrats or with the People's party means a return to the wretched system of state bank currency which caused millions of dollars losses to farmers and others before the present splendid system of safe and reliable currency -was devised.

The McKinley

BUI

Did It.

The decision of the company known .as Salt & Sons, the owners of Saltaire, near Bradford, England, to wind up their affairs is attributed by the corporation itself to the McKinley law. The chief business of the concern has been the manufacture of plushes for tho

American market, but since the McKinley law was enacted the business, we are told, has diminished to one-tenth of its former proportions.—New, York Press.

Past .history in this country justifies the statement that declaring laws to be unconstitutional in a convention is but the first step. The next is to refuse to obey them. Will the Democratic purty go this far Jn its opposition to protection, and in the interest ol free trude as it (lid .in South Carolina in IK.'Ja?—Secretary of War i'.lkills.

More Manufacturers Advance Wages-

Tile report of Commissioner Peck as to increased wages in New York under the McKinley law is sustained by the report of the labor commissioner of Massachusetts, whose report shows an increase of wages in over CD per cent, of the 4,500 manufacturing establishments reported upou.

It was the Republican party, under the aggressive, progressive, wise and benignant policy of a generous tariff upon foreign importations for the protection of home labor primarily and the raising of revenue necessarily, that abolished slave labor and emancipated the American wage earner, of whatever color or condition, from the drudgery of pauper wages.

Deducting Mr. Custer's credit for his lay's work this transaction left him in debt $2.00.

If the foregoing transaction bad taken place May 18, 1892, under Republican protection, it would have been vastly in Mr. Custer's favor. Ho would have received $8 for his day's work instead of $1.50, and his same purchases would have cost him $1.52 instead of $4.10. Instead of going in i.ebt $2.00 he would have had $4.08 to his credit, equal to two and twothird days' free trade wages.—South Bend (lud.) Tribune.

Tiie Farmers Are Satisfied.

The McKinley bill increased the tariff on the farm products, oats 15 cents per bushel, barley 80 cents, wheat 25 cents, wool 11 to 18 cents per pound. Everything that the farmer raises is now protected. As a consequence farmers of Manitoba are thrown out of the American market and the prices of those articles in Manitoba are very much reduced oats selling for 14 cents per bushel, barley 18 cents, wheat. 80 and 84 cents, wool 11 cents, and everything correspondingly low and without purchasers. In the meantime the farmers of the United States are doing a much larger business, are getting good prices, paying off the mortgages on their farms and listening to the calamity howlers who say "tariff is a tax" and if you do not buy you cannot sell, and trying to convince the "poor fanner" that he is taxed to death. They know that the cost of plows and other agricultural machinery is less than ever before.

The late Daniel Custer will be remembered by older residents of South Bend as a first class carpenter and a good Democrat. Ho lived on tho northeast corner of Main and South streets, and some of his children yet live in this county. No carpenter in South Bend got better wages than ho commanded. May 8, 1858 (which pleaso remember was in those good old Democratic free trade times before the war), Mr. Custer did a day's carpenter work for the lato Hon.
