■MS/ *’’ • • .*■ F ®he gcuiocrat K. ’ ■ ■ t --■- If. nLACKBVRJT, Proprietor. FRIDAY, JAN, 20, 1802. ' m • p. Up to January Ist, the United States bad contributed 2,056,430 '■ pounds of flour for Russian I ers. #gj' l > y. — During 1891 there were landed at New York, from ninety-four vesseis, 445,290 immigrants. There p were also 105,023 cabin passengers. An honorable mafi needs no heralding of his course in life. Xis actions stand out in bold letters, so all may judge without having his virtue rung in their cars. Chili is not now anxious for war. She probably fears that Steve Elkkins, Col. Dudley and Mat. Quay might steal, the whole country in the event of a resort to arms. P “The tariff Lias nothing to do with bringing down the wool’’shouts the organs. But if wool had gone up in price, it would have been attributed to the beneficient influence, of :j'\ the tariff. Ys , Vve have got an empty treasury to go to war on, if war it must be. If only, now, the majority in the Billion Dollar Congress had- said, “To Chili with the surplus,” instead of—what they did say. Sr-i'i ■ • ■ — , Blaine and his free trade gang are pressing Benjamin and his followers pretty close. Blaine has been trying to get away from the robbers for some time by caliing his free trade scheme reciprocity. The Senate Select committee on Woman’s syffruge has decided by a fe vote of 3t02 to report favorably ft to the Senate the proposed measure jyS _ in favor of an atue Lenient to the B Constitution, giving the right of I suffrage to women. E «_ 1'1... The Republican scheme to close postofEces on election day, in order that postmasters and clerks may electioneer as well as vote, might go a great way toward electing a president. It is a more decent arrangement than the blocks of five.All the talk about this being the “land of the free” is good enough to tell foreigners, but the man who attempts to cram it down the American is an idiot, or makes himself believe that the one be is talking to is a fool. When thirty thousand of ■our people own more than the re. I maining sixty-vefi million. The thirty thousand dictate to the sixty-five million by and through the laws enacted by she Republican party. Over and over again it is asked, how can manufacturers sell their wares in South America in competition with the pauper labor of Europe, when they cannot do it at home with the aid of a fifty per cent, tariff. The question is answered by the circulars of business houses which show a schedule of prices for the fr.. hpme trade, and a lower one lor the foreign market. No high-taxed ad |;> vocates attempts' an explanation. They maintain a “dignified silence.” fig Just now all parti< s are looking ■ with inv.cb concern toward the fel. West. Iler vote in the next presij| dential-election will go i'ar toward deciding its i--r.<:.i.d it is tills fact more than any e'.h. r that has determined thelocal,on of the National Conventions. The Northwest for ’ many years was the political Gib- >' raltar of Republicanism, but the H recent political upheavals in that ' quarter call loudly for energetic ' action if Republican supremacy is to be maintained there any longer, ft In response to Inis demand the ReK’ - 'publican convention goes to MinT neapolis. But the Republican t.hah anx has beep so uccessfully assailed in every part of the /country in re-/ I. , cent years that the local •- that may accrue to that party in the / Northwest will r< main very far from ' f assuring it- sue. i ss next November, j , v since the wavering states of Massachusetts, l.hode Island aud Vermoot in the.Northcmt are absolute-p>-7 - ' i. jr essential to its success

...r—i PALSY IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. i Never in its history was the Republican party in a condition of intellactual and moral prostration to be compared with its present plight. The Minneapolis convention promises* now to be merely a perfunctory affair of renominating Benja man Harrison. Blaine’s chronic nanseA has extended to the party rank and file, and although there will be the usual yelling and howling over his name, the voters will unanimous for Harrison. No greater misfortune could befall a political party in any country, under any circumstance, than that it should be composed of an inert mass of mediocrity dully accepting solitary leadership and tamely submitting to rule of one man. Where, who, is the other Republican that has brains enough, party standing sufficient, vigor enough to get a hundred votes in the Republican national convention? Palsy has settled ou the Republican party. lhe Democratic national convention in Cnicago will be the most animated in twenty-live years. The party has produced a new crop of able, alert, competent and' energetic men having yigiiant ‘backing in their own states and large adhesion throughout the country. Democratic publicopinion is healthfully divided. Democratic discussion of men and policies is animated, spontaneous, aud vigorous. The property of no man, the chattk/oi no coterie. It is composed qzinen, not of a mere mass of huusan jelly, ready to vote for thr'only available man in its ranks/ The Democratic party has a dqatfn available men, and the will be a great forunr/fh which, after a collossal convict of rival ambitions worthily promoted, the next president of the United States will be chosen. While palsy creeps over the Republican parly the health of the Democratic party is found never to have been better. It has no need of doctors. It has no nausea. The report that Mr. Cleveland will shortly announce his positive and final withdrawal from the presidential contest must be received with many grains of allowance. Such an announcement would imply that he had been opely and avowedly a contestant for the nomination, a fact which has not been warranted by any public utterance or action of his since he left the White House three years ago. His position is not similar to that occupied by Mr. Tilden in 1880. hence a public withdrawal of himself as a candidate for President at this time would be in bad grace. Mr. Cleveland is a good Democrat, a better Democrat in fact, than he was when he entered the presidential office. He has grown, and his growth has been in the way of improvement. He has a secure place of honor in the estimation of all good Democrats. He is a courageous and sincere leader. But no man realizes more clearly than himself that he is not a necessity to the Democratic party as .a presidential candidate. He ihjy lead its aggressive and uuterrilied hosts in the coming campaign as a candidate for President, or -he may be only an effective fighter in the ranks. Ilis own ambition Uii'H have little to do with determining hik place in the struggle. Therefarejjmowing this as lie does, it is not likely that he will publicly decline to be considered as a possible Candidate. The result of the' late, election in New York and the action that the legislature will probably take is causing a number of the robber party to feel that there can be no chance for them to steal it next year. “How they wail” when they find some one that can check them in some of their ’tricks. They cln steal a county, state or lhe president of the United Slates, all of which they haveddhe, ! and then squeal when checked in I their attempt to steal New York state, They see the “band writing on the wall’-' an I l ave readjt so u much they have ken falling, out , ' with each other ever since.

REPUBLICAN PROSPERITIES. The vast promises of the Repub- i lican party in 1888 mgre that if Mr. 1 Harrison was elected President of 1 these United States, the benefits to I the people of tariff measures to be ' approved by him would be estima- ; ble. Wages would be higher, work I plenty and general prosperity I would hover over aud be with every . household in the land. What have been the facts? Ilis 51st Congress goes down with the record of being the only Billion < Dollar Congress in peace times, the total ordinary expenses of the ■ government being much higher'tban ; any year since 1567, when the heavy was expenses were being paid; notwithstanding increased European demands, the volume of business has been decreased, wages reduced, trusts multiplied and the promised roast beef high in price aud scarce in supply; lhe mercantile failures in 1871 have multiplied from 10,673 in 1890, to 12,394, involving $189,000,000 —lhe greatest since the panic of 1857; the revenue has decreased and the public debt has increased—the month of December last showing a falling off in the revenue receipts of $43,000,000 apd increace of national debt of $2,794,749; less railroads build last year than the year before by 1,574 miles; while the news from manufacutring centers is anything but encouraging to the poor man who is forced to earn his daily bread by the sweat of his brow. Scarcely a day passes but some reduction of wages, several failures or the formation of a trust is noted in the daily papers. Some of the latest are yet, fresh in the minds of the people. Carnegie, tip}” millionaire iron and steel, manufacturer of Penneylvani^,-'Has reduced- w-agt-s in his PjjKsburgh mills lor tne next tha*r4nduths so that ihey will be ( Atswer than they ever were before in the history of the plant since lhe zkmalgamated Association has controlled it. The Elgin Nationanal Watch Co., has reduced the wages of their three thousand operatives, and the McKinley protects the company With a 25 par cent tariff. The Astoria silk works at Bridgeport, Conn., were reduced $5 a week in their wages. The cap finishers of New York and the stocking knitters of the Jones hosiery mill of Bristol, Pa., have struck because of heavy reductions in w’ages. The Clark Box Co., of Danburry, Conn., and the Brass Manufacturers of Bridgeport of the same State have reduced the wages of their employes, and hundreds of others of similar import. In investigating the management of Indian reservations it was recently found that on the Sioux reservation alone the government, that is, the people of these United States, were feeding 2500 pauper Indians, or in other words the agents were stealing that amount every year. What prosperity! What honesty! What reform! And the party which has given us these benefits (?) asks to be retained in the administration of government affairs. The free sugar of the McKinley bill is endangered by the non-reci-procity of a few countries and likely to be a dead letter after March 15th. But the evil of the McKinley bill is not in its free list, but in its protection of capital at the expense of labor, its provisions for the developments of trusts and syndicates, its unconstitutional bounty theory and its granting to the President the pow'er to impose taxes by proclamation. It is a bold step toward monarchy and true reform demands such iniquitous features should be fought boldly and aggressively. The people are very patient and long suffering,, but they cannot stand the benefits of McKiidejxsm as adriiin- . islered by the ple.-eiit administration of National affairs another term. There’s no particular need for slinging around, promiscuously tlie “tin-plate liar. Congress is to be advised, periodically, and make report, as to the amount of tin ore produced in this country, and a re- I solution was adopted the other day ' calling on the secretary of the treasury for a statement of the drawbacks , paid to importers of tin-plate, under the provisions of the McKinley bill, It may be possible to learn just where the enormous tax levy for the estab- j lishment of the .industry fests; who pays it and who gets it, a-nd know if its actual working tallies with its a avowed jmi-pose. The Steele and iron mills, which gel the chief share ■ wager of their employes,soil has failed ot ik alleged aim in this instance.

IIOW A COMBINE WORKS. Mr. Ira J. Hunt, of Kalamazoo, Mich., we learn from the Detroit Free Press, baa for several years been engaged in the manufacture of the Garver spring tooth harrow. It was claimed that this harrow was an infringement on the patent of the Reed harrow, belonging to the harrow combine, but in a suit, Judge Greshem decided that it was not an infringement. The secretary of the combine then informed Mr. Hunt that be must quit the business as the association had decided to drive his harrow out of the market; Mr. Hvut inquired as to the methods, aud was informed that the association would sell harrows cheaper than he could make them to his customers and would sue every purchaser who bought of him, whether it was an infringement or not. The secretary agreed to pay cash for his stock, and assume all the contracts which Hunt had made for material, if he would sign a contract not to engage in the harrow business for fifteen years, and they would make it cost him many thousand dollars if he did not sign it. He further declared that they have a fund of $50,000 which could be doubled in an hour to force him out of the business. Hunt signed the paper and began suit immediately for $50,000 damages. Congressman Martin has introduced in the house a bill to repeal tne power of non-legal tender contracts authorized by the silver bullion act of July 14, 1890; also a joint resolution looking to an international convention for the purpose of devising ways and means of arbitrating differences between nations honorably and peaceably without a resort to barbarous warfare. ;

Warning’notes have been sent to the diplomatic representatives of Austria-Hungary, Columbia, Bfayti, Nicaagua, Honduras and Venezuela, reminding them that this government decides that they shall regulate their tariffs to please it, else duties will be imposed upon their products by our President byway of retaliation, before March 15. Wonderful power this, conferred upon one man, to levy duty or remoye it, for bis own people, and to dictate to other countries bow they shall act in lhe matter. Must not the President’s embargo, laid upon sugar, molasses, tea, coffee and hides from these countries, affect the prices of these commodities? It will act as a levy upon the consumer, as surely as the removal of the duty on sugar benefited him. The American people arc to pay this penalty themselves in order to punish foreign nations for regulating their tariff as shall suit their own needs and conveniences, instead of dancing when a man across the sea shall pull the string. Our Uncle Sam is a pretty big fellow, but he would better dominate the world’s commercial progress in some more ligitimate and less overbearing way. The MjiKinley law, with Mr. Blaine’s attempt to render it respectable, has cost the United States the respect and friendship of all civilized nations, and the unconditional power which President Harrison will assume ou the “Ides of March” no preventing providence, is the most absurd feature of it.
