A SOLEMN WARNING.

CN THE SHOULDERS OF THE STAY AT HOMES WILL REST THE RESULT.

ten States So Close That Neglectful Voters May Cause the I^oss of Any of Them.

The Australian Ballot Must Bo Studied

and Voters Prepared to Use It.

[Special Correspondence.]

NEW YORK, Oct. 17.—One thing the Voters of the United States ought to understand very clearly. That is that the neglect of a few people to vote at the coming election may change the result and change the entire business condition of the country. There are ten states in the country in which a change of from 300 to 4.000 votes would change the result in those states. There are five suites in the country in which less than 2,000 voters remaining at home on election day would change the result. There are states in which a change of a few hundred votes from one side to the other would change the result. There are others in which a mere handful of voters neglecting their duty to go to the polls would allow the opposing party to carry the election in those states, and perhaps change the entire result of the presidential election. What a Change in Administration Would

This is a matter of such vital importanee that the voters of the country can not give it too much thought. A change in 1 lie administration, it is conceded, means a general change in the policy of this government. The chances are ninety-nine out of 100 that if the Democrats succeed in electing their president they will by the same stroke obtain a majority in the house and senate as well as control of the presidential chair. That has not happened before for over thirty years. When the Republicans got into power in 1SG0 they changed the general policy of the government from a low tariff to the protective tariff. Itis not necessary in this connection to go into the details of the wonderful prosperity which has followed. Everybody conversant with the history of the country must realize that the prosperous condition of the people of the government of the country generally is so patent that nobody can doubt that prosperity has attended "the protective tariff'' experience of the United States. There is not a man in the United States who can doubt that the election of a Democratic president, a Democratic house and a Democratic senate would mean a reversal of the tariff conditions .. under which this wonderful prosperity has come.

Your Neglect May Change the Result.

Every voter of the country who does not want to see this splendid condition of our country destroyed—a condition which every nation of the world has recognized as one of superior results ought to recognize the fact that on his vote and the vote of his neighbor may depend the question of a change in the administration or no change in the administration. In the state of Connecticut in the last presidential election the Democratic plurality was 2,216 votes. In the state of Nevada the margin of plurality was only 1,015 votes. In Indiana the Republican plurality was only 2,348 votes. Out of an enormous number of votes cast in West Virginia the plurality was but 520 votes. In a number of other states the plurality was but a few thousand. In many of the states a change of 1 or 2 per cent, from one side to the other would have changed the result. In some of the states the neglect of less than 1 per cent, of the Republican voters to go to the polls would change the result. This brings us to a point which is very important for every voter to remember.

Farmers and Workingmen Should Be Sure to Vote.

In nearly every one of the close states the Australian ballot or something patterned upon that has been adopted since the last presidential election. The experience which has accompanied the use of this system in the state elections has 6hown in nearly every case a falling off of the farmer vote. The farmer does not like the Australian ballot. He looks upon it as a device of the city schemers and as a troublesome, uncomfortable method which his fathers did not use, and which he thinks he should not bo compelled to use the result is that it has kept thousands and thousands of farmers away from the polls. Not only this, but the workingmen do not like to be compelled tu call upon others to help them out in unraveling its mysteries.

I lie honest tanners and the honest workingmen form a very large element of the Republican party. Hence a ballot system which is not acceptable to them, and which results in many of them staying away from the polls, naturally reduces the Republican vote. The experience in all elections in which the Australian ballot or anything like it has been tried shows a falling off in the Republican vote. This is accounted for by the fact already indicated—that the honest larmers and workingmen of the country do not turn out and vote under this new fangled arrangement as they did before. If the honest farmers and honest workingmen in the Republican party are not careful to do their full duty this time—regardless of the fact that they do not like this new fangled way of voting—they are liable to wake up on the morning after the election and find that their state has gone the wrong way that by staying away from the polls they have caused that change.

A Solemn IJut.v «r IJvery Republican.

It is the duty of every Republican voter to begin to-day, now, and make a study of the new voting system of his state, and not only to study it for himself, but to instruct his neighbor and his neighbors neighbors in it, It is also his duty to go to the polls and vote on election day, whether he likes this new fangled way of voting or not, and also to see that his neighbor and his neighbor's neighbors do the same thing.

If lie does it, if you do it, the continued prosperity of this country under ita present und splendid system is assured.

"00WABDS AND DESERTERS"

The Names Northern Democrats Apply to tJaion -Soldiers When They Talk Their Seal Sentiments.

The following extract from the Raleigh News and Observer of Sept. 16 is an acoount of a speech delivered in that city by ex-Congressman J. H. Murphy, of Iowa, Sept. 15. It seems from this that the northern Democrats fully agree with their southern associates in hating Union soldiers, and don't hesitate to say so when they think they are out of hearing of the old soldiers themselves: "The speaker next called attention to the infamous pension system. It now amounts to $150,000,000 per annum. In a few years more at the present ratio of increase it will reach the limit of our revenue. It teas a shame that we should have to put our hands in our pockets to pay pensions to a lot of cowards, deserters and bounty jumjwrs."

J. II. Murphy was a member of the Forty-eighth and Forty-ninth congresses from the Davenport (la.) district, a native of Massachusetts, and posed in his candidacies and while in congress ih a friend of the soldier. This is the way lie taJks when he thinks he is alone with the southerners and is privileged to express his real sentiments.

Mr. Cleveland's letter as around whole is as impermeable and elastic as caoutchouc.—New York Sun.

A COMPLETE REVERSAL.

Cleveland's .Election Means Control House, Senate and Presidency.

Chairman Carter has presented the situation in plain, unvarnished language. In a conversation at the Fifth Avenue hotel in New York he said:

The people of this country are called upon to say whether they desire to substitute the policy of free trade for the policy of protection to substitute the wildcat state banking system for the present reliable currency to abandon the shipping policy and the trade treaties known as reciprocity. There should be no doubt about the result. This is not a free trade country. The people do not favor wildcat currency. They are in favor of reciprocity. They desire the merchant marine of the United States reestablished, and are opposed to free trade and bad money and the reactionary policy of the Democratic part}-.

hurling the nation down from its present prosperous condition into commercial chaos, industrial distress and financial ruin. 1 think the people understand that both branches of congress would necessarily be Democratic in the event of President Harrison's defeat. We cannot lose the I presidency and save either the senate or the house.

We are therefore confronted with what must seem to the ordinary citizen as an appalling proposition—to promptly and absolutely revise the policies under which our present prosperous condition has been brought into existence.

The report adds: "It would bo hard to imagine it case in which the pi esent tariff has been of such immediate and obvious benefit as that upon silver and lead ores."

GERMANS SPEAK.

Come Important Suggestions Which Every German Voter Will Read Views of

Many Prominent German-American Citizens.

The following letter addressed to "all voters of German descent" has been issued by a large number of leading Ger-man-American citizens of New York:

Recognizing the great commercial and industrial importance of the approaching presidential election to our adopted fatherland, and being fully convinced that tho Republican party not only represents tho best interests of the nation, but is ever most actively engaged to further them, tho undersigned citizens of German descent have constituted themselves a commit tee to work for the election of the standard bearers of that pari.y. We have tio acti\ connection with politics, but us citizens anil business men who realizo that the prosperity of this country is due to tho wiso commercial policy of the Republican party, we consider it. our duty to

When Grover Cleveland, true to tho reactionary principles of tho Democratic party, declared himself for free trade in his message of Dec. 0, 1887, the people, mindful of tho bad experiences which it had made In the past with free trade, rejected tho Democratic party and again intrusted the government of tho nation to tho Republican party.

Never was the balance of trade so favorable to us as now never was the prosperity of tho whole country so general never were the wage earners so well off.

The legislative activity of tho Fifty-first congress and the shameful inactivity and uncertainty of the Fifty-second congress sufficiently illustrated tho difference between the parties. Both the presidential candidates have been tried by the people: both have served a full presidential term their administrations belong to history.

Every reason given in the year 1888 for the election of Harrison is valid today, only in a higher degree. Through his firm stand on tho silver question ho saved the country from a great financial crisis.

Disdaining grandiloquent promises and preferring to gain the respect of his fellow citizens by a blameless administration, President Harrison has fearlessly defended the honor and dignity of the nation, and has once more forced from foreign nations that respect for the stars and stripes which had been almost entirely lost under Cleveland. Under President Harrison civil service reform has been a reality, while his appointments to the most prominent offices are admitted even by his most bitter political enemies to bo unassailable.

If we compare with this the administration of Grover Cleveland, wo find that in spite of bombastic promises of reform in tho civil service, the spoilsmen never since the days of Jackson raised their heads so boldly as when Grover Cleveland, through Adlai E. Stevenson, deposed 44,000 postmasters who had honestly and faithfully administered their

p§{rI,e Australian ballot which now pievails in nearly every stale except those of tho south is not popular with farmers and workingmen, and lias thus kept thousands of Republicans uway from tho polls.

The Republican leaders should at once establish Australian ballot schools, so that every Republican voter may be at the l»olls and vote intelligently.

Ilusiiiess men should remember that a vote for Cleveland incuns a vote to change the general business system of the country,

ami will certainly result ill great business uncertainties and irregularities for the next lour years. Democratic success means Democratic control of senate, house and presidency, and full reign of the free trade sentiment.

If your business lias been built up iluring tlio past thirty years a change in tho tariff system under which it lias prospered would at least result in great uncertainties and irregularities in the next four ours. Your vote and that of your acquaintances may decide the condition of your business in the near future.

Republicans should remember that In five states having seventy-five electoral votes a change of 1 per cent, of the votes will reverse the result of 1888 in those states.

A COMPARISON."71

CONDITIONS IN GREAT BRITAIN WITH THOSE OF THE UNITED STATES.

Higher Taxes, tower Wages, More Pau

pers, Smaller Savings Deposits and

Greater National Debts in Englaad Than In the United States.

[.Special Correspondence.]

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.—Do the people who are clamoring for free trade ever compare the conditions of the past and present of this country with the one essential free trade country of the worldEngland? If not, it might be a good thing for them to do so. I have been looking into the question a little of late and comparing the conditions in this country and in free trade Great Britain. Here are some of the things which I And:

The annual taxcollocted from the people by the government of free trade Great Britain is $12.00 per capita, while that of the United Slates is less than $6

per Citpita.

The deposits in savings banks in Great Britain amount to $180,000,000, or live dollars per capita, while those in tho savings banks of lite United States amount to Sl.O'JIi.OTD.Ty.l,

twenty-five

dollars per capita. The amount of money in circulation in Great Britain is $17.00 per capita while the amount in circulation in the United States is J2."i.G2 per capita. Indeed there is scarcely a country of anv importance on the map of the world which has its large an amount of money per capita as has the United States.

I he national debt of Great Britain amounts to $00 for each individual in her population, while that of the United States amounts to $ia for eacli individual. Hie annual interest chargo upon the public debt in Great Britain is $3.25 per capita the annual interest charge upon the public debt in the United States is 3.1 cents per capita.

Great Britain, under her free trade system, has decreased her public debt in the last thirty-five years $020,000,000 the United States, under protection, has decreased her public debt in twenty-five years $1,551,000,000.

In free trade Great Britain there is 1 pauper for every 39 individuals, and 1 person in every 12 receives more or less parish support in protective United States there is 1 pauper for every G43 inhabitants.

The "balance of trade" is hundreds of millions of dollars against Great Britain every year. Under her vaunted free trade she imports vastly more than she sells. Her exports last year amounted to $1,300,000,000 in round numbers, and her imports amounted to $2,100,000,000, making a balance on the "wrong side of the ledger" of $800,000,000. Our exports last year were $1,030,335,020, and our imports were $827,391,284, thus giving us a balance of $202,944,342 on the "right side of the ledger."

The balance of trade was $800,000,000 against free trade Great Britain last year, while it was $200,000,000 in favor of protected United States.

In the last ten years our exports have exceeded our imports by $706,383,314. In that time the exports of Great Britain have fallen $8,515,000,000 below her imports. In other words, in the decade just ended protective United States has a balance of over $700,000,000 on the right side of the ledger, while free trade Great Britain, whose "commerce rules the world," shows $8,515,000,000 on the wrong side of the ledger.

In free trade Great Britain bricklayers get $1.17 per day in protected United States, $3 per day carpenters in Great Britain get $1.28 per day: in the United States, $2.35 per day: in free trade Great Britain engineers get $1.46 per day in the United States, $3.22 per day: in Great Britain machinists get $1.20 per day in the United States, $2.50 per day in Great Britain compositors get 15 cents per thousand ems: in the United States, 40 cents per thousand: in Great Britain shipbuilders get $8 per week in the United States, $16.

Thus it will be seen that in every particular our condition is better than that of our free trade neighbor. Our commerce is in infinitely better condition

because we receive hundreds of millions I doesn't do the right thin of dollars more for our products than can

we pay out lor the things we buy, while "Well.

Our government collects from her people less than $0 per capita of taxes: that of Great Britain collects from her people over $12 per capita of taxes. The deposits in savings banks in Great Britain average ,$5 per capita of the population those in the United States average $25 per capita of population. The money in circulation in Great Britain is $17.90 per capita, while, that of the United States is $25.02 per capita. Wages in the United States ar« from 75 to 100 per cent, higher than those paid in Great Britain.

What good reason is there for desiring to exchange English free trade for the protection which gives us these conditions, which in every case are so much better than those of our British neighbor?

What business man is there who has seen his business grow up and prosper under the system which has been in operation in this country for the past thirty years who wants to endanger its steady progress by the adoption of a system which compares so unfavorably with our own in its results?

SHE BUYS CURTAINS.

DOROTHY SELECTS WINDOW DRAPERIES FOR HER BACK PARLOR.

And with Her Little Feminine "Fist" She

Drives Large Sized Spike Through a

McKinley High Price—Any Other Woman May Be as Enterprising.

Dorothy had determined to have only "real" things in her home, you know but when it came to lace curtains for her prospective back parlor, she had to draw the line. They cost several hui-1 dred dollars a pair, and Dorothy's ship has not come in. While we were considering the matter I saw a private letter from Marshall Field, the great Chicago dry goods merchant, in which a clerk said that such curtains as Dorothy wanted cost "thirty-five cents more a yard than they did before the McKinley bill." "And I don't believe it," said 1. "Neither do 1," said Dorothy. "Let's look it up," we both said. Upon which we made up our minds that wo wouldn't buy a stitch from anvbody who lied to us about "McKinley" high prices."

My official tariff book (you can get one yourself by writing to Washington for it) tells me that the duty on lace curtains has

been

raised from

(50

per cent.

by the McKinley law. "Why was it raised? What was the result of it':" Dorothy and 1 wanted to know. If we liked the answers we would buy the curtains. If it was to make "tho rich richer'and "the poor poorer,"as tho Democrat papers claimed (I have been reading tariff literature lately), we should certainly not be a party to that sort of thing. If, as the Kcpublican papers said, tflis advance in duty was really

We went to O'Neills on Sixth avenue first. They had such curtains as wo wanted, but the price was eighteen cents a yard higher than before the McKinley bill. We didn't deal with them.

Next we went to Simpson & Crawford's. A polite man said that "the price of curtains had not been raised in that store anyway by the McKinley bill." He laughed in a funny little way when we asked the question, and seemed to have something in mind which was a good joke on somebody. Then he said, "No, indeed, we can't raise the prices on Sixth avenue the people would get after us if we did." "Then it isn't necessary to charge more?" persisted Dorothy. "I wouldn't like to answer that, miss. The wholesale people can tell you all about prices." Then he gave us the address of Mills & Gibbs, of Broadway and Grand street. "Yes, the duty has been raised, and there was good reason for it," said the salesman at that store. "There are a large number of factories trying to establish themselves here, and they could not compete successfully with imported curtains made by laborers who work for one-third of what our curtain people are paid. By raising the tariff the curtain manufacturer can and does pay hi3 workmen enough to live comfortably, even luxuriously, as American citizens should live. At the same time he can compete with the imported curtains, even though the labor on them costs the foreign maker but one-third as much." "Why. that is as clear as daylight," said Dorothy. "But when I come to think of it we who buy lace curtains have to pay that extra duty, don't we?" "No the foreign maker lowers his workman's or workwoman's wages enough to pay that duty." "Well, what keeps the American manufacturer from charging too much?" "Competition, miss: sharp competition, such as is stimulated by a fairly high protection." "Well, then," 1 put in. "why are not the American workers' wages lowered by this competition?" "Because there is a constant demand

1 don't care if it does make the rich employers keep their eyes wide open. It seems to me that Mr. McKinley has made the poor richer and the rich a trifle more energetic." I added. "Now finally," Dorothy went on, "I want to know the truth. Is curtain muslin more expensive than it was before the McKinley law went into effect?" "No, it is iis cheap, and in many instances cheaper. For. its 1 told you, the foreign manufacturer pays that extra duty." "Well, then," Dorothy i-eplied triumphantly, "please show me some white lace curtains of fine net, with a fern pattern."

We found what we wanted at four dollars a pair they had been a trifle higher two years before. And Dorothy had another treasure for that "home,"

On our way to the station we stopped at Mr. Horner's gorgeous furniture store on Twenty-third street to see about some furniture, and Mr. Horner himself told us that he knew of a very large concern "on the other side" that is coming to this country if Mr. Harrison is elected. That would mean another big factory here with employment for ever so many people.

Oh, it would be such a wicked thing if Grover Cleveland should be elected! The tariff would be changed, and that would make it so h.ird for people who work "by the day." Every woman ought to realize that and influence her husband to vote for the party that cares for the happiness of laborers.

Of course Dorothy and I don't know whether .Marshall Field and Mr. O'Neill direct their clerks to belie the effect of the McKinley bill, but we think it is pretty smaii if the heads of dry goods conce/ns do sanction such dealing.

DEMOCRATS AND THE G. A. R.

They Would Nor Give a Fenny for Their Ehteitrtinment.

So much has been said about the refusal of the" Democrats to give any recognition tio the G. A. R. at Washington that it may be interesting to know just what the cold facts are. An investigation shows that the house appropriation committee made no appropriation for or recognition of the event in framing the District of Columbia appropriation bill. Nor did the house itself do so. After the bill had been passed in the house President Harrison, seeing that no action had been taken on that subject, sent a message to congress calling attention^ to the subject and suggesting the desirability and propriety of retisonable aid for a proper entertainment of the men who saved the nation.

The senate appropriations committee, acting upon the president's suggestion, reported an amendment giving $100,000 for this purpose. Senator Cockrell immediately moved that the amount bo paid exelusi\ ely from the revenues of the District of Columbia. This wa° voted down, the motion, however, recoi\ ing 1* votes, of which 10 were cast by Democrats and Farmers' Allianco members—nearly all of them from the south. When tho bill went into conference, ho»\ e% er, the house conferees insisted upon placing the Cockrell amendment upon tin bill and on also cutting down the appropriation to $75,000. This was combated by the senate conferees, and the bill was hung up in conference for weeks.

The house conferees, with the weight of tho three-quarters Democratic house behind them, were able to carry through tlieii pi opositiou, and the senate confeiees \\ere obliged to yield and permit the entire burden to be placed on tho district. The Republicans in both housed spoke and voted almost solidly against the proposition to place the entire burden on the district, saying frankly that

expenses,

but esteem it a favor to be permitted to do so. The only result of their efforts, however, was to get the total appropriation finally fixed at $90,000 instead of $75,000, as urged by the house conferees.

DEMOCRATS LIKE IT.

They Commend the Paper Which Calls Union Soldiers Murderers and Thieves.

Hundreds of Democrats, and the most able in the state, including generals, colonels, captains and privates in the Confederate army, and whose names we have permission to use, have complimented and congratulated tho editor of The Globe on his utterances concerning the "incompetent, corrupt, disgraceful and dishonest" administration of the pension office under Republican rule. Nor was this all. They have told us that when we charged that the lousy, dirty, sneaking, disreputable and damnable scoundrels who have fastened themselves upon the pension rolls of tliiw country were murderers, thieves, incendiaries and libertines that wo told the solid, honest truth.

And when we said that there were half as many thieves and men who"-f raped and plundered the south on tho pension rolls today as there were in the penitentiaries of a dozen states we only told the truth.—Durham (N. C.) Globe.

The Democratic party voted solidly in Kress against Kcpublican propositions ,to cxcludc convict made goods from this country, and its president in a message sent to congress Dec. i, 1880, recom

mended the placing of government prisoners ill competition with the labor of the country by "employing them in tho manufacture of such articles as wero needed tor use by the government." In addition to this ho vetoed the anticonvict labor of I8.S(iand 1888, and while governor of New York vetoed a bill abolishing convict labor in prisons.

One of the best weavers in a Bradford (England) woolen mill on one of the best looms in that city can earn but $3.25 in a week, while an American weaver on the same kind of a loom earns thirteen dollars per week. A protective tariff increases wages, as you see. and yet the Democrats are pledged to repeal the McKinley law. Will you assist them by your vote or will yom vote for Harrison and Reid and protection to the American mechanic?
