The great political parties have now all declared against lynching. Now let the courts and officers of the law do their full duty and the lawlessness which has in the pass few years demonstrated itself in this direction all over the country will s >Oll disappear. On Oct. 15, 1890, Tom Reed, then speaker of the House, said, in a speech at Buffalo: They ask me whether I consider tbe McKinley bill just to the poor. Well, 1 should say so. A bill which has for its. object Ihe aiding of the poor by raising t eir wagesAt seems to me, is a just one. It is now in order for Mr. Reed to explain when tbe McKinley bill is going to begin “raisingjthe wages of the poor.” A good many work*ingmen in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiina and all over the country would like to know, don’t you know? This is just as good a time as any to tell the political preacher that each year the preaching of political sermons becomes more unpopular. The American people learned some time ago that they were about as well fitted to form opinions on political subjects and to judge of the merits of men and measures as the clergy is to do for them. And some there be who even go so far as to think themselves better qualified to form correct political judgments than the most of the clergymen. With this sentiment abroad in tbe land, the preachers would con suit the interests of their churches and the religion they preach by leaving politics out of their sermons. TARIFF PICTURE. The American steel and iron trust, which is protected by a prohibitory tariff, has decided to cut the wages of its men about 50 per cent., making a reduction of, for example, from $3.00 jjer day to $1.50 per day, and to produce this result has inaugurated a lockout which reduces wages from $1.50 per day to 00000 per day. THE TINPLATE TAX. The tin plate consumers’ association has issued a circular in which they say the tin plate factories have cost them $10,000,000 more money since the McKinley bill became operative, and “tbe present duty will add every year over $15,000,000 to the cost of our raw material.” Are the factory men shouldering this increase, or dp the buyers of tin dishes, vegetable tin cans, etc., pay the increase of extra duty plus the profit of wholesale ams retail dealers? Tbe Bee has on file the testimony of a Toledo firm that, except the manufacturers and dealers are magnanimous enough to suffer the loss, the consumer must stand it. We have so good authority to quote on this branch of the subject as Chauncy Depew, the manager of the high-taxers’campaign. Quoting directly from bis address: Taxes always run downward until they r.'ach the bottom. The unfortunate pcop'e found at the bottom have to pay. The landlord shifts the taxes to the tenant, tha tenant to things he sells. The grocer, the dry goods dealer, the general trader of all de criptions regula e prices on. the bases of their necessary expenses. High taxes increase these necessary expenses and to meet them a larger profit is put on th< goeds.—Toledo Bee THE AMERICAN TIN FAKE. The Fort Wayne Journal contains the following letter: Portland, Ind., June 29, 1892. Th is morning’s Gazette states there is a “cargo of American pig-tin in New York for sale.” 1 will give $ 100 a pound for American tin. I have just come from California and there is no tin ore there or anywhere else on the American continent that has yet been discovered. 1 have been connected with the mining inddstries of this country for the last thirty years and know something about the metals and minerals of the United States. I was at Eli wood, Ind., this week where they are making a small quantity of tin for political. effect. The tin ore usdd there and everywhere eles in this country is imported from England. Many thousands of dollars

h ive been expended in prospecting for tin ore in thia country, but w ithout success. There has been notin ore discovered aa yet. The iron and steel used at Elwood and elsewhere in thia country that is plated, with tin is manufactured herej but the tin ore imported. As regards my integrity and financial standing, I refer you to any bank at St. Louis or Chicago. 1 consider it wicked l<> deceive the people about tin being present ou the soil of the United States. Yours truly, W. E. Haines. SCORE ONE FOR STEVENSON. There is one circumstance to tbe credit of Adlai E. Stevenson that the writer of this is personally cognizant of. A fellow who used to live here borrowed money of a citizen of Evansville when he and his family were sick and needed help, lie was a relative of a former post-master-general. The aforesaid fellow left Evansville without paying his debts and went West. Nothing was heard from him for several v'>nrs. Finally he was located at Si. Louis in a railway mail clerkship where he received liberal pay. II is Republican relative was appealed to at Washington and asked to make him pay his debts, which he prom •!• ’ to do, but utterly failed. The disgraced debtor was kept track of, and when Gen. Stevenson came into office he was appealed to and asked to make the man pay his just debt. In less than a week Gen. Stevenson replied that the defalcation would be inquired into, and in less than a month the rascally fugitive sent a money order to his creditor under the penalty of dismissal from the service in disgrace. The unthankful fellow declined to pay interest, but the creditor was thankful to receive the principal, thanks to Gen A. E. Stevenson. — Evansville Journal— Rep. We were amused to find the following in the Decatur Journal last week: The Dem'ic'ats sav in their platform that they are in favor of pensions to dis abled veterans, and they will proye it bv citmg Cleveland’s numerous and insult ing pension vetoes. Now, to a person who knows nothing except the information they get by reading the Journal alone, it would appear that the editor of that esteemed paper and his Republican friends are the only friends that the soldiers have. Another presidential election is coming on and the Journal presumes that the old soldiers and everyone else have forgotten all about the contest of 1888. The campaign is fresh in all of our minds yet. But in no one’s mind does better recollections cluster around broken hopes with more vividness than in the minds of some of our worthy soldiers, who were led by sanguine promises to believe that their only faiends were the Republicans. Not a few of tbe old soldiers of the state of Indiana were led to believe that if they would only give Harrison a lift in 1888 that he would see that they would be cared for in a thoughtful manner. Many an old soldier entered the political arena of 1888 thinking that if Harrison could be elected be would reward them. Now it came to pass that Harrison was elected and. he had a great many appointments to make. The disappointed soldiers can recollect how the politicians ate at the “first table” while they waited or took a piece in the shape of a little appointment such as is found at Monmouth. Our Republican friends think that the soldier element is ignorant and that their minds are not strong enough to recollect a thing that did not happen quite four years ago. You that read last week’s Journal know what a petty editor of an insignificant county paper thinks. Read the following and you will know what C. F. Adams, a Republican whose intelligence is as far superior to the intellectual powers of our wouldbe editor as the brightness of the sun is superior to the weak es forts of the lightning bug: "Finally, the question of pensions. On this subject I speak with some degree oi feeling, because, having reived through nearly four years of the Civil War, I, in common with many others who did the same, feel a rense oi humiliation—l mat almost say of degradation—in sei tug the uniform we once wore turned into a men dicant's garb, and the garb of a very nn pudent and persistant mendicant at that Under the administrations which preceded that ol Cleveland the (.ensfi'n legislation had as we thovght, been already car ried to excessive length. Grant Garfield, we knew, were of the same opinion. Under it every man who frad any reason able claim to public consideration had received recognition, or the way to recognition was open to him . My own experi ence,if presume—and. i deed, I know—had in a small that ol neaTy every one els- who wa? in immtdia e command of men during the Rebell on.

They had supported the brunt of butle V en, and they were able to support tnemselv s now. Thus there were ot us those who Kit that lids wtetebed business, this trading of poti'i al hui kstera on patriotic self sacrifice, had gone quite far enough. We there ore felt a keen sense of relief when, m February 1887, President sentiu ’ is veto of that Dependent Pension bill, wh’cb put a premium on aelt abasement and perjurv. But Presid. nt Clev’aiid’s cogent reus ning in that n easage failed to commend ti»elf to the army of p- nsmn agents; the circulars from whose offices at Washington cumbered the mails and our desks. The Republican party, that party to which we had belonged until it completed its work, took the same view ot the subject Accordingly, so far as could be judged from the outside, the Issue made by that party in the campaign of 1888, which re suited in the election of Harrison, wa« distinct and simple It set itself in direct opposition tn the public policy which President Cleveland had enunciated as respects what may be called the ‘ projected interests" of the couotrv and the pension a. er t< dt turned to those two power ul an ! wide-spr ad orgauizatio s. sating t the first: -If ton will ■ Let our c mdi ’ate to the p-esidenev and re'u’n us to power, v ni can c w to Washingt m and demand such an incea-e of y 'ur pii.vee.tive du'ies as vou shill see fit; and we will see that i' is giv nto you ” It then tu-md to the a-mv of clnun agents in and about the Pension Ofiue, saving to th m: “If vou W ill elect <>ur candidate t>« the presidency a d cauS" the sdmini-tra’i.in oft ! e c um erv to return into our bands, we wi I a Io * vou the fr e plunder of the Treasury. Prvsi 'ent Cl veland. as you s< e, ba s your way to it.” A “KEYNOTE" OF MISREPRESENTATION. Speaking of the proceedings of the Chicago convention in regard to the tariff, Senator Hale says: All incidental protection of th" American laborer in his competit on with unpa d and paup r labor abroad, all recognition ol great industries built up under th" pro tective s stem, were ruthlessly tossed aside and kicked out of the presence of the convention by the D. mocratic party theie as-embled. And President Harrison, the chosen leader of the Republican party, in his letter to the New York League of Republican clubs, writes in the same strain, thus: The majority r< port seemed to recognize that some regard might be had in the tariff kgis'ation of tfie intere-ts of our American workmen; that in making the tariff reductions injury to our domestic industries should be avoided, and that such changes should be regardful of labor and capital connected therewith. All of these decla rations were stricken out by an over whelming vote of the convention, and the resolutions adopted must, in the light of this vote, it seems to tne, be construed to be an affirmative declaration that Democratic legislation upon the tariff will be without any regard to its effect upon the wages of American workmen, and without any thought of its destructive effect upon American industries. This great misrepresentation and perversion of the meaning oi the proceedings and final declaration of the Democratic cenvention may be accepted as the Republican “keynote.” Senator Hale states the truth when he says: “The platform originally suggested contained a distinct reference to the difference between labor in this country and abroad as a factor in making up tariff legislation.” But it is not true that when they “kicked out” this reference the Democrats showed the least indifference to the interests of American laborers. The truth is they show the highest regard for tbe interest of labor by kicking out the utterly false assumption and pretense that the socalled protective tariff protects or in any way benefits American workmen as a class to the smallest extent. They manifested the highest regard for the true interests of workingmi n by kicking out a sophistical assumption that has been used for many years to delude them into tbe support of a system which has flinched from their earnings an aggregate of many hundreds of millions of dollars. The Democrats have boldly espoused the cause of workingmen by kicking out the doctrine of greedy imposters that laborers can be benefited by taxes of any kind. The Democratic party rejects with contempt the pretense put forward to hoodwink workingmen that labor is better rewarded in this country than elsewhere because of the tariff. It denounces the Republican tariff as a fraud, tbe Whole purpose and effect of which is to invest the few with authority and power to rob the many and to fatten their bank accounts under shelter of law out of the earnings of the toiler. It denies without qualification that the substitution of a tariff for revenue only for a tariff for spoliation mainly would be disastrous to a single industry that ought to survive ahd it denies emphatically that any industry ought to survive which can not stand on its own legs and which must fall unless borne, a heavy btfr-

I _ _ which must stand alone or not stand at all. The Democratic party will not permit ilsolt to be placed iu a false position before the workingmen of Ibis country nor before their employers. It stands on the solid ground of truth and honesty and will defend its position against all comers.— Ckicayo Herald. A FIELD TO HE CULTIVATED. A leading and very important question with the thousands of able and scholarly young men who are just being turned out of the colleges of the land is: “To what shall I turn my talents and education that 1 may earn my living and at the same time make for tnyaelf the place to which my abilities and my hardearned knowledge entitle me?’’ And it is a question that the young man may well give his best thought. Tbe professions are full; they are mostly overcrowded. But there is one field that is not overcrowded that offers almost unlimited opportunities of tame and profit, and that is the electrical field. Great has been the advancement made in electrical science in recent years it is perfectly safe to say that the knowledge is yet in its infancy, and that the thmgsrihat have thus far b<en accomplished arc as but child's play to the wonflorous works yet to be done. And herein lies the great opport unity for the bright young man who is casting about for something to make a life work of. It is generally conceded that within the next generation the subtle fluid will supercede steam in the operation of railroads as it has already practically superseded all other motive power in the operation of street railways in tbe cities. There will be found a field for employment ot all the talented energies of the rising generation for some years to come. In tbe past fifty years more fame and money have been made in the development of our great railroad systems than in all other directions combined. To-day the railroad magnates ot the country, the men who literally roll in wealth and comfort and whose names are synonymous in the households of the land for ability and success, are the brakemen or telegraphers of but yesterday. And they are but mid-dle-aged men now, with many years before them in which to enjoy the fruits ot their energy, their interprise and their thought. A few years ago there was a scarcity of men qualified to fill the vast number of important offices which the rapid development of our wonderful railway systems created. The opportunites for rapid advancement were, therefore, almost unlimited and the instances of speedy promotion from the ranks became so common as {o no longer attract more than passing notice. ’'Then there was, in the railroad business as in no other, always room at the top. But nowall this is changed. The places at top are all occupied, too, by comparatively young men wijh many years of ability to hold their places yet before theta, while jusVbehind them the ranks are full of still younger in everyway qualified to take their places whenever they drop out of the active world. Thus, what was the best field for his father offers but small inducements to the young man of to-day. Tbe professions are, as before said, overcrowded and have been for these many years. But the electrical field is not fairly explored and its cultvation but just begun. No one doubts that its possibilities have not even yet been dreamed of. And here is where the young man is to find bis opening. There are no young mtn occupying all tbe desirable places at the top, for the top has not been reached yet. The youngstsr in the ranks may reasonably expect to have a brigade to-morrow and an army tbe next day, and he will not have to wait tor death for his promotion either. There is now, and js destined to be for many years to come, a scarcity pf electricians. Men who understand the subject are going to be in constantly increasing demand, and the young man who begins now to fit himself for the electrical service is going to be the man who will “get there” in the near future.
