FKEDAf, NOVEMBER 17, 1893.

Two TEARS ago the working people of the United States were persuaded to put the free trade cup to their lipB. They found it exceedingly bitter and dashed it to the earth.

THE Indianapolis News BBys: "In Ohio, McKinley is indebted principally to the hard times for his success." Just so. And the country at large was indebted—if it is not a misapplication of the term—to the Democratic threat to repeal the McKinley bill, for the hard times. .•

THE Chicago Record, which has been a steady opponent to the annexation of the Hawaiian Islands by the United State save as a last resort, denounces the attitude of Judge Gresham as unreasonable, fantastic and dishonest, and as a carefully prepared insult to the preceding administration.

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 received but a single vote in the entire county. Telling a friend of his great defeat he said he had found •at, through theelection, that he was not only unpopular but blanked odious,

THE week before the election the Indianapolis Sentinel said that— Governor McKinley may be re-elected, but Ito ourht not to be, and he would not be If the southern art ol Ohio had as able a Democratic paper as is the Cleveland Plain

Dealer

in the

northern part. The Sentinel is enabled now to revise its opinion of the Plain Dealer. Notwithstanding its ability aB a Democratic paper notice the result. In 189'2 the eity of Cleveland and Cuyahoga county gave a plurality for Grover Cleveland of 2,886. Last Tuesday Cuyahoga county rolled up a plurality of 8,164 for Governor McKinley. This change in pluralities representing 11,050 votes in one year would indicate that the Plain Dealer's influence was even less than that of the Cincinnati Enquirer, the target at which the Sentinel aimed its shot.

THE day following the elections this week the Indianbpolis News devoted a column of its valuable editorial space to an olla podrida of opinions. First, it fiaid that "the enormous majority secured by Mr. McKinley plainly indi cates under the circumstances a popular reaction in Ohio in favor of the doctrine of a high tariff." It says "there seems nothing significant about the result in Massachusetts," while in Iowa "the people were determined to get even with the Democratic party for the hard times," and then seasons its Spanish dish with this: "To. our Republican friends we would say that they will ser ioualy mistake the temper of the people if they construe yesterday's triumph a6 an unqualified indorsement of McKinley tariff." Which plainly indicates that the ruling passion is strong in death.

REPBESENTATIVE BUOOKSHIRE has finally got it through his wool that the Democratic policy haB not been approved by the people. To the Washington correspondent of the Indianapolis Journal he said that the elections have taught a lesson to the Democrats which ought to be heeded. He says that in the West, where so many veterans of the late war have their homes, there is a feeling that the administration of the Interior Department is hostile to the soldier. He thinkB that this belief has had a great deal to do with the result, not only in the West, but in Massachusetts, which is a great soldier State. He knows that in Indiana there is severe criticism of the acts of the administration in this direction, and he thinks that if practical evidences of friendliness to the deserving men who are drawing pensions are now forthcoming the election will not have been in vain. Appearances indicate that Mr. Brookshire would like to hedge.

THEITROUBLE WITH MB. 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 is 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 max ims from the school men and doctrinaires constitute the sum of his political 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 and misfortunes. He has not entered into the homes of the working people to learn from their every day life what policy is best for them. The great subject 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 an idea that all experience has shown to be utterly groundless. The McKinley 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 he does not make inquiry at the Btores where the clothing of the common people is bought and sold. He looks into his book and sees his 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 wLa! they are compelled to spend for neceesaries, 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 the poor by increasing the price of their clothing. It is this kind of study that has made a genuine statesman of William MoKinley, and the lack of it that caused Mr. Cleve land to make a great blunder which resulted in fio much disaster to the country.

TTIE basis of: the new Wilfioh tariff bill is free wool. This has been difi nately dec ded upon. Wool will be placed on tLe free list and corresponding changes made in the wool schedule. The average reduction of duties on woolen goods will be between 40 and 50 per cent, most likely at 45 per cent. Will any politician explain why with over 4,000 articles on the dutiable list wool should have been singled out, be fore all others, to bear the main brunt of tariff reduction? The politicians have said constantly that they wanted to reform the tariff because trusts, rings monopolies, combines, aod grasping capitalists were fattening off the overtaxed people. But is there any "combine," any "trust," any "monopolies," any "grasping capitalists" among sheep raisers? Are there "rings" of wooi growers who are gorging themselves with ill gotten gains? Where is there a flockmaster who is "sucking the life blood of the people?" Why is it that tariff reform must begin by attacking the slender profits of the millions of farmers? There is a perfidy and a wickedness about this attack on th« farmers that are simply amazing.

THK Democratic party Is pledged to the doctrine ot' taritT revenue only. The people have declared in favor of that doctrine. Outside of Ohio there Is nothing to show that they are not in favor of it vol.—Indianapolis

NCIVH.

But then there is a tremendous amount inside of Ohio just now to show that the people are not for a tariff of revenue only. There is enough inside to make up for all the News can find looking outside. But the statement of the News is not true. In MasBachu setts, Pennsylvania and Iowa the tariff issue was distinctly defined. No other issue was brought to the front.

P. H. MCCOBMICK,oneof the contract ors of the Montgomery county court house, and a gentleman well Known in this city, has announced that in future he will act with the party that is in favor of protection. Mr. McCormick lives at Columbus and haB served in the Legislature from that county. He was being prominently mentioned as a Democratic candidate for Congress, but declined for the reasons stated.

IF the Democrats had to select a candidate for the Presidency this year, it would be necessary for them to take him from Texas in order to get one who would be sure to carry hie own State.

I THE heighth and depth and the length and breadth of Walter Q. Gresham's statesmanship is his miserable, narrow and insane hatred and jealousy ^of Benjamin Harrison.

THE HAWAIIAN POLICY,

President Cleveland has again made evident bis opposition to the principles of republican government, through Secretary of State Gresham, whose letter was published Saturday, and which in effect advises the restoration of the corrupt dynasty of the Hawaiian Islands. The report of the Secretary is so long as to confuse the average reader, because the body of it, reciting already recorded history, is designed to becloud its veDomous conclusion. He reports that the only course to pursue is to overthrow the provisional government of Hawaii and restore the venal queen to her throne at Honolulu. His claim is that provisional government was established under a threat of war. To any one who has read the reports of the so called revolution the duplicity of Gresham will be made evident. Commenting on Gresham" letter and the policy of the Administration the Chicago 1 nter-Ocean says:

It seems almost Incredible that any man occupying so high a position as that of Secretary of State, the highest In the gift of the PresiJ dent, should allow his well known personal animosity to the President under whom the Hawaiian revolution was effected to lead him into such perversion of incontestable facts. It is true that the captain or the warship Boston, who landed at Honolulu, and by his timely action prevented any bloodshed, Is dead, but the issue of fact raised is not a question of veracity between ex-Mlnister Stevens and Special Envoy Blouut. The evidence is abundant and overwhelming lhat the course pursued In supporting the provisional government was according to the general policy of the United States, and in perfect accord with the spirit of Mr. Bayard's instructions to the predecessor of Mr. Stevens, dated July 12,1887, ana approved by President Cleveland when an outbreak was deemed imminent. We do not care to go into the discussien of details in this connection. It is enough to recall the fact that of all the many heads of foreiirn affairs in the great family of nations Walter Q. Gresham is the only one to condemn Ihe action of the American minister and marine. So blind to everything except his own personal malice was the Secretary that that he seemed to have no thought ol'National honor.

But the great and overshadowing fact is that in accordance with this policy personal hatred the administration has deliberately thrown away the key to the Paciiic ocean, and in doiny-so proposes, if necessary, lo use the guns of the Dnited States to restore a throne which was overthrown because the debased and perttdious monarch who sat upon it was about to destroy the constitution of 1887.

A prominent Democrat in Washington is quoted as saying that if this letter iiad been published before election the vote for McKinley would have been unanimous, and no doubt he is right in believing that the restoraton of the Hawaiian monarchy will increase and Intensify the feeling agulaet the ivJm'strution. Judging from the New York press the Democratic newspapers will generally condemn this un American pQlicy. One mugwump Sheet is alone In cordially approving it and language cOUld hardly be stronger than the following comment by one of the regular Democratic organs In that city:

We shall certainly await fuller information before concluding tbat an American government, whatever its sentimental conclusions, has agreed to and abetted the plan of throwing the Island back into the arms of the degraded monarchy and putting back the burlesque queen upon her throne.

Thi« one sentence fairly expresses what will undoubtedly bo the deliberate judgment 1H the case of the A jierican people.

WEARY OF CLEVELANDISM. The New York Evening Post, the leading organ of the Mugwumpp, 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 WBB the Alph and Omega of whatever was true and beautiful. It eeem6 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. Tbe next day after the elections last Tuesday the Post broke forth ae follows:

We do not suppose many, it any, votes turned solely yesterday on the Van Alen or Roosevelt appointments, or on the general "revel in spoils" which has gone on all over the country. But they have undoubtedly deepened the impression of Democratic incompetency and hypocrisy and dishonesty which the general situation has created.

The notion which seems to have taken hold of the Administration that the great rising of the peoole against the tariff last year was in some sort a vote of conlldence in the Democratic party. Is an hallucination. It would take along period of good behavior to get people to believe in the Democrats as they have 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 afford a single escapade. Their performances in this State, therefore, surpassing anything in American history in audacity and atrocity, must be set down as little short of insane. The open alliance of the Governor and the two Senators with the criminal classes for criminal purposes is surely an unprecedented incident in American politics.

This could not be improved on if it had been said by a.straight Republican

LPER*

DEMOCRATS living in States that went Republican by large majorities last Tuesday can hardly expeot to have their wounds salved with gifts of patronage from the President whose Administration stands rebuked because they failed to get a verdict in its favor.

CONGRESSMAN CONN attributed the recent Republican victories to tariff agitation and the suspension of pensions. Conn is the Democratic member from the Thirteenth district. He seems to be wiser than some of his brethren.

IT is very evident now that if the McKinley bill could be submitted to a vote of the people it would be elected by an immense majority. And it would be the same way with Bill McKinley.

ENGLAND'S POLICY.

It has always been the polioy of England to do what she could to prevent the growth of manufactures in this country. Before the Revolutionary war she sought to do this by harsh and unjust acts of parliament. She wished to hold this country as a market for her goods and a source of food supplies for her people. A country without manu factureo is her delight, for there she can sell the products of her looms and furnaces without competition, and from thence draw supplies without competing home bidders. Such conditions enable her to sell in the highest market and buy in the cheapest. During the war of 1812 commerce between us and Great Britain was cut off, and as a consequence manufacturing got quite a start here. What followed the war is tersely told by Prof. VonHolst in his Constitutional History of the United States as follows:

The seas were again free to all ships and England threw an over supplj of goods upon the American market in order to destroy the home competitors before they acquired a firm footing.

There is no doubt that England has always figured largely, in one way or another, in every attempt to break down our protective policy. In 1830-33 there was indeed an open alliance between British statesmen and the Calhoun party of the South by which it was hoped to strangle the growing manufactures of New England, the idea being that Old England could furnish cheaper goods than New England, and would pay the cotton planter a better price for his ootton than New England would. At the beginning of the civil war of 1861, the Confederates put in their constitution a provision to crush forever the idea of protection in the new Confederacy, and this was immediately followed by the purchase of Confederate bonds in England to enable the Confederates to prosecute the war. The Alabama, the great pirate ship of the Confederacy, was built in an English dock and sent out to prey upon our commerce and for allowing which England was called to account after the war and compelled to pay a penalty of S15,000,000. It is high time the people of this country were educated up to the point of saying to England that her intermeddling policy will no longer be looked upon with favor in this country, by any party.

IT is given out that Senator Voorhees is preparing a speech to be delivered in the Senate in which he will denounce Hoke Smith in unmeasured terms because of his pension policy. His hatred of Smith—"this man Smith" —is not on account of the pension rolls being "purged," but for the reason that be desired the appointment of bis son, Charles, to a fat office in the Stale of Washington which Smith respectfully declined to make. Daniel has a capacious stomach for pie, and like Oliver Twist, he is constantly calling for more. The speech, if ever delivered, will be made not because he loves the pensioners more but for the reason that he loves Smith less. Prec.ous little does he care for the pension policy. The pie policy is what interests him.

SINCE the only argument ever made against the MoKinley bill, to-wit: That it would tax the consumers of the products upon which additional tariff rates were levied, has proved entirely groundless and delusive, why should anyone favor its repeal? Since the McKinley bill did not prove to be a tax on the people at all, and the threat to repeal it the most disastrous tax that ever struck the country, would it not be wise to let the McKinley law remain untouched

THE bonded debt of the United States on the 31st of last month was §585,039,040. During the administration of President Harrison the bonded debt was reduced $259,074,200 and the annual interest charge was cut down $11,684,469. Harrison's was a debt paying, business administration.

A SOLID North can always beat a solid South in an election, and a solid North is reasonably sure to be had in 1896. In the Congressional elections of 1894 also the North is likely to be solid enough to make the Republican lead in the House of Representatives 90 or 100 at least.

There is more catarrh in this section of he country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured, by P. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address,

A PRETTY STORY.

AND TOLD, lOO, IN A M.OSVENTERTAINING MANNER.

An-interesting Bit of History of a Lovely l'ainlly.

The Strongest Lights and Shadows of Our Home Life.

Mrs. Pauline N. Blakewell, of 740 Jefferson avenue, Detroit, Mich., Bays: "Three years ago I found myself bordering on nervous prostration. I could neither eat nor sleep. I was under the care and treatment of eminent physicians, but all to no avail. "Happening to have my attention called to the wonderful restorative effects of Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, I decided to give it a trial. By the time the first bottle was gone I felt better and was satisfied that it was doing me good. When I had oompleted the third boule I felt entirely cured. My appetite wan now good and

MKS. PAULINE BI.AKF.WELL.

1 could lie down and sleep soundly, something I bad not been able to do in years. I can conscientiously recommend the use of ibis great strengthening medicine to all similarly afllicted as myself. "A vear ago my little daughter was taken suddenly and seriously ill with what physicians pronouncpd spinal meningitis. After their remedies had failed to cure her, 1 commenced giving her Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy and in less than two weeks from the time of taking tbe first dore she was on her feet mining around and in a little while was a9 well as ever. I have never used any mecicine with such marked success as I have found in Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy."

MRS BI.AKEWELL'S LITTLE CHILD.

Everybody 6ays the same thing, and from tbe unanimity of opinion of the doctors and the people, wo are assured that this great and widely known retne dy is just what our 6ick and suffering citizens require to restore them to heal. All tue doctors SHV that it does cure, and all sufferers frotn nervousness, weakness, poor blood, debility, stomach, kidney or liver troubles should give it an immediate trial. It is purely vegetable and harmless. Take it yonrself and give it to your children. It will cure.

It is indorsed by physicians because it is the discovery and prescription of the famous Dr. Greene, of 35 West 14th street, New York, the most successful specialist in curing nervous and chronic diseasep. The Doctor can be consulted free, personally or by letter.

Of Interest to Athletes.

James Robinson, the athletic trainer at Princeton College, Princeton, N. J,, says: "1 have found it imperative to have sure and simple remedies on hand in case of cuts, bruises, strains, sprains, colds, rheumatism, etc. Shortly after entering upon my profession, I discovered such a remedy in Allcock's Porous Plasters. I tried other plasters, but found them too harsh and irritatiner. Allcock's Porous Plasters give almost instantaneous relief, and their strengthening power is remarkable. in cases of weak back put two plasters on the small of the back and in a short time you will be capable ot quite severe exercise. In "sprint" and "distance" races and jumping, the muscles or tendons in the legs and feet sometimes weaken. This can invariably be relieved by cutting the plaster in narrow strips, so as to give free motion, and applying on muscles affected."
