/LJeI i For President.

I . GROVER CLEVELAND, OF NEW YORK. For Vice President, ADLAI E. STEVENSON. OF ILLINOIS. p_y ■ — : Mrs. Lease has nearly expired. ■■■ ■ . I TinfliE are very few people in the People’s party. < The lion. Tom Reed ought to ad- , yertisc for his voice. i " i— J — i Tom Reed has been lecturing on 1 the “Progress of Humanity.” j It is evident that Blaine sick is stronger than Harrison well. Mr. Blaine’s speech was simply an ( advertisement of his silence. ( Weaver is still traveling around with his mind in a parenthesis. Mrs. Lease ought to go home and help Mr. Lease to nurse the baby. Possibly Mr. Lease’s function is to throw unpleasant eggs at his wife. — Gen. Whitelaw Reid does not appear to have his headquarters in the ( saddle. '.. ] The potato rot has appeared in the ’ West, and under the McKinley regime, too. It is a very hard-hearted Republl- ' can kicker that can withstand the ‘ gold of Ophir. ’ There was a distinct “Fellow-citi-zen, let us pair” flavor to Mr. Blaine’s j Ophir Farm speech. j Mr. Blaine asks the Irishmen of this country to vote for a tariff . scheme that forbids admission to 1 Irish products. .... . ~ ] The campaign in Illinois goes marching on with “wildcat currency” trying to get ahead of polecat ad- r ministration in the Republican pro- ( cession. Gov. McKinley is to be called back from his task of saving Penn- ' sylvania and put to work at once in Ohio. Buckeye Republicans are ‘ really getting uneasy. 1 Senator Quay is to assist Tom 1 Carter in the closing weeks of the * campaign. The Senator will find the ' Australian law in a large majority of the States where he played a game of tenpins four years ago. One reason why Whitelaw Reid was put on the ticket with Harrison was that it was believed his candidacy would be a personal appeal to Blaine. The personal appeal has been made, and the country has the result. There is no prospect of Republican success in West Virginia. That party is conducting a quiet campaign there because it cannot conduct anj r other. It is in no condition, in West Virginia or elsewhere, to arouse enthusiasm. The McKinley law is the best tariff act ever passed. It has calmly but firmly thrust Eliot of Harvard, Edward Atkinson, Wayne MacVeagh, Judge Gresham, Richard H. Dana, Dr. Everett, and a million or so other voters into the Democratic party. 7 -r I . < The Census Bureau has all the statistics of protected manufacture ready, but will not give them out till after the election. It does n?t..,want agricultural voters in the West to know about the fat dividends of protected manufacturers before the election. The Michigan Democrats may be deprived of their Constitutional right to select Presidential electors by Congressional districts. Constitutional rights are as numerous now as ever they were, but Republican partisan judges are more numerous than ever they Gere. v •Gen. Dan Sickj.es has publicly denounced as false the alleged interview with him, in which he was represented as saying he would not support Cleveland. This statement is made in order to set the General aright and not because we think it is of any burning importance. According to Republican orators and journals, American protection ruins the industries of foreign countries, whjle fair trade encourages them, and these same Republicans -■ are asking the Irishmen of America to vote for a system that will ruin ■ w

Ireland, rather than one which would benefit her. Tn 1888 Gen. Sickles supported Mt. Cleveland. In 1802 he sulks in his tent, though Mr. Cleveland’s Presidential record has not been changed in four years. _ii —je Courier - Journal: Republicans should not count too much on the fact that they succeeded in pushing and pulling Mr. Blaine into the campaign the other day. The last time they succeeded in pushing and pulling Mr. Blaine into a campaign the result was that the candidate for whom he spoke was not only beaten, but was sent to the penitentiary. Ask Delamater, of Pennsylvania. We are told that the present administration has “remitted over one hundfed millions of duties on a single article in admitting sugar free." Remitted it to whom? The author of the McKinley bill tells us that it is foreigners who pay our tariff duties, and, if this be true, then it is submitted that the administration might be engaged in better business than giving up $100,000,000 of our revenue to foreigners. The wheat crop of the country last year was 612,000,000 bushels, and wheat is down now at a farm price of 60 cents, which doesn't pay for the cost of raising it. Republican statisticians and economists say it is overproduction, which means that wheat raisers in the West and cotton raisers in the South must spend less time in working and more time in sucking their thumbs till things come around right. , There are indications that the word has been passed around to the Republican press to take a hopeful and optimistic view of the political prospect. This is to neutralize the gloom and forebodings that are settling down upon the Harrison campaign. There is reason to believe that Chairman Carter has discovered that New York is hopelessly Democratic, and the President does not need to be informed that Indiana is so. —JU- —»*— Ex-Senator Edmunds pronounces Mr. Cleveland “a strong, able man, honest and courageous.” Very few Republicans are willing to speak truthfully of a Democratic candidate in campaign years. Even Mr. Depew won’t proclaim Mr. Cleveland the “typical American” while the campaign is in progress. And, be it noted, Senator Edmunds himself put the Atlantic Ocean between himself and his party before giving expression to the above opinion. In his letter of acceptance, which not one man in a thousand has read, Whitelaw Reid said that the Democratic clamor against the force bill, “if it means anything, means a purpose to nullify the fourteenth and fifteenth articles of the Constitution of the United States.” This means also that Mr. Reid approves of that bill and regards it as a very benevolent measure. Thus are both the Republican candidates committed tc the Federal control of elections. The Supreme Court of the United States has decided that the Michigan plan of choosing Presidential electors by Congressional districts is constitutional and legal. No well-informed person has ever imagined that the decision of the court would be otherwise, and the only purpose of the Republicans in bringing the suit was tc obstruct the election machinery and to arouse prejudice. The decision means that atUeast six or eight ol the electoral votes of Michigan will be cast for Cleveland apd Stevenson. In 1890, just before the Democratic tidal wave struck his bill, Mr. McKinley asserted, in a public address that “this whole system of cheap things is a badge of poverty.” Fearing that the people will this year take the same view of McKinleyism which "they entertained two years ago Mr. McKinley is bobbing up in this State and that with the pretense that his bill was intended to make things cheap and has had that result! lias Mr. McKinley deceived himself or is he deliberately attempting to deceive others? It will be remembered that, in his letter of acceptance, Mr. Harrison went out of his way to paint a glowing eulogy of the wonderful pearl-button industry which the enormously increased McKinley duty on buttons had established in this country. Within a few days after the publication of the letter the Chicago pearl-button factory failed, and since then the irreverent have been popping up and flippantly wanting to know where is that American ■ pearl - button industry, anyhow? - They can have their answer whenever they wish it. That industry '■ has been discovered. It is an established fact. It is in America-—in the good State of Illinois, right in i the walls of the Chester Peniteni tiary, and gives employment ttf sixty ■ protected convicts. When the Prcsii dent of these United settles i down to writing state papers on i pearl buttons he knows what he is i talking about.

President of the United States. These men who live by their wits cannot be commended as infallible oracles, but their action is always regarded as highly indicative. Every available bit of Information goes to fortify them in the position taken. The issues presented this year are the same as two years ago, and there is no reason to expect the reversion of an opinion so emphatically expressed. Such change of front was not suggested in the election of Governor Flower in New York by 50,000 majority, in the greatly diminished Republican vote of Maine and Vermont ip their September elections, in the unimpaired strength manifested by the Democracy of Georgia and Florida, in the open defection of some of the ablest and most distinguished Republicans of the land, in the re-election of a Democratic Governor in the former Republican stronghold of lowa, in the crushing treatment of Blaine and his friends by the administration, or in the methods by which Harrison is utilizing the beneficiaries of federal patronage/in violation of law and to the all honest citizens. Every election held since 1888 has shown a shrinkage in Mr. Harrison’s strength. Last year New York, lowa and Massachusetts, three States that gave him their vote for President, elected Democratic Governors. In 1890, for the first time since the war, the Democrats of the North secured a majority representation in the National House of Representatives, and, counting the six new Republican States admitted during Harrison’s administration, twenty-four have Democratic Governors and twenty have Republican Governors. The desperate use of money for the purpose of fraud and treachery seems now the sole reliance of" Republican managers, and in this scheme they repel the honest voters while angling for the susceptible floaters.—Detroit Free Press. Mr. Reid's Letter. 3 Mr. Reid has formally accepted the Republican nomination for Vice President The acceptance comes late, but from a Democratic point of view, considering Mr. Reid’s unavailability as -a candidate, it is better late than never. His letter to the Chairman of the Committee of Notification is a stereotyped declaration of plutocratic doctrine, of which the Republican party in this campaign is being made the expression and advocate. There is nothing new, in it to consider. It favors the McKinley law as being an advance in tariff rates over the older schedules, and favors a still further advance if any protected manufacturer thinks he needs it Mr, Reid is evidently in polities what the oldschool doctor was in medicine. The basis of his doctrine is that it is impossible for him to be mistaken, ana if, after the highest tariff ever known, wheat is low and agricultural products without a market, he prescribes more tariff as a remedy. This Is so like the

old-school doctolt who, after bleeding a patient to Unconsciousness, only said bleed him again* when the result of hie treatment was reported to him that the Nt. Loulg Republic believes its oomLet HarrUun Have It. Mr. Blaine’s citation of th" comparative agricultural and manuiaoturing production of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio is capable of varied uHos by the opponents of the high protective tariff. Lcoked at from almost any point of view, it affords opportunity either to challenge or disprove Its statements or to accept them as arguments against the perpetuation of the protective system. It is inconceivable now a man once so start In the evil genius of making the worse appear the better Cause could have fallen into statements which not only Invite attack, but are capable of being turned against the party in whose Interest they are apparently uttered. The Republic has already taken occasion to refer to some of them, but there is yet another which must be considered. In asserting that the manufactured products of Illinois (which ns the greatest agricultural State of those named affords the fairest field for discussion) exceed in value the value of its agricultural products Mr. Blaine asserts

what is important, if true. If this is admitted as a fact there must be a reason for it. Mt. Blaine neglects to say what it is, but leaves us to infer that it is the result of Republican tariff legislation. And this it certainly is. If in a State with the unrivaled soli and agricultural resources of Illinois, a State with a greater railroad mileage than any other, with two shores washed their entire length by navigable „ streams, and lake navigation affording easy access to market, the value of agricultural products is less than that of manufactured goods, there is but one conclusion. The difference in values is an artificial and not a natural one. It is the difference between the increased value of goods protected by Republican tariffs and goods which, although provided with exceptional facilities for reaching the Liverpool market, where prices are fixed, are left to compete in open market with all the world. In other words, although the agricultural products of Illinois greatly exceed in amount the amount of manufactured products in the State, the manufactured products exceed them in value because tariff laws, maintained to give manufacturers a monopoly of the home market, place an artificial value upon the product of the factories, while the product of the farm is depressed in value by the cost of transportation to a foreign market, and is further depressed by the operation of tariff laws which, by prohibiting trade with the foreign market, prevent exchange and increase the farm surplus of this country that has to be kept at home. The more we contemplate it the more we are inclined to allow Mr. Harrison the full benefit Os Mr. Blaine’s Ophir speech.—St. Louis Republic. Agalnut a Stone Wall. The Republicans make no progress in their effort to deceive the people with the charge that Mr. Cleveland’s election would mean the adoption of a “wildcat" currency system. If there Is one public man in the country that is free from the suspicion of the least sympathy with a degraded currency, that man is Grover Cleveland. His opinions on that question are so well known and so positive that they have been considered his weak point by those who advocate an expansion of our circulation at. the sacrifice of its soundness. That the Republicans have sought to make capital on the money question against the present Democratic candidate for the Presidency attests in a most significant manner the extremity of their desperation. Such charges would have fallen flat even if Mr. Cleveland bad treated them with silence, so well wo bis monetary views understood. However, he did not choose to leave room for doubt as to his attitude, even In the mind of the most ignorant, and accordingly thus expressed himself In hie letter of acoeptanoo: —‘IB z’K,). ‘j.yj’xdc • 4’ V* ’

■ “The neonle are entitled to sound sad honest S, abundantly sufficient is volume to supply their business needs. But whatever may bo the form of the people’s currency, national and State whether gold, silver or paper, It shoulc be so regulated and guarded by government action or by wise and careful laws that no one can be deluded as to th* certainty and stability of its value. Every dollar put into the hands of th* people should boos the same intrinsic value or purchasing power. With this condition absolutely guaranteed, both gold and silver can bo safely utilised upon equal terms in the adjustment of our currency. “In dealing with this sublect no selfish scheme should be allowed to Intervene and no doubtful experiment should be attempted. The wants of our people, arising from the deficiency or Imperfect distribution of money circulation, ought to be fully and honestly recognised and efficiently remedied. It should, however, be constantly remembered that the inconvenience or loss that might arise from such a situation can be much easier borne than the universal distress which must follow a discredited currency." That could hardly be more explicit, and certainly leaves no ground for any charge of ambiguity or evasion. That party which asks voters to believe that

a man holding these views would countenance a doubtful or debased currency, “National or State," discredits most foolishly and most unprofltably their intelligence.—Courier Journal. The Lom to the Farmer. The exports of farm products continue to fall off, notwithstanding the McKinley law, and it would be gratifying if the statesmen who have been “pointing out" to the farmer the value to him of reciprocity should undertake the explanation of the present condition of things. The following table shows the exports of agricultural articles for September, 1891, compared with September, 1892: Article*. isoa. 1«1. Corn, bu. 1.830,3 M 2,538,91< Oats, bu 104,015 322,61» Oatmeal, Ibe 271,544 1,355,727 Rye, bu 172,167 3,151,531 Wheat, bu...... 10,091,800 19,400,174 This falling off is very serious. It means, so far as the farmers are concerned, that Republican reciprocity is the merest sham. The decline has so great that the total exports of some articles for three months ending Sept. 30 have been decreased as follows: Articles. 1892. 1891. Com (bush.) 6,395,641 7,097.342 O»ts (bush.) 431,877 628,915 Oatmeal (pounds) 961,841 2,640,667 Rye (bush.) 482,448 4,209,936 Wheat (bush.) 31,760,796 50,414,898 The value of the total exports of all bread stuff a was only half as great in September this year as in the same month last year, while for the three months ending Sept. 30th the values were more than $26,000,000 less in 1892 than in 1891. Besides exporting less, the farmer receives less for what he sends abroad, as is shown by the following table of September prices: , —Prices.—■. Articles. 1892. 1891. Corn (bu5h.)10.66 (0.66 Oats (bush.) 0.40 0.48 Oatmeal (pound) 0.02 0.03 Rye (bush.).. 0.70 0.94 Wheat (bush.).o.Bo 1.06 This shows partly what the McKinley law is doing for the farmer. It also adds to his coat of living. If he likes it he will vote for Harrison; otherwise he will vote for Cleveland.

Stevenson, Democratic candhlato for Vice President, line sent the following letter of acceptance to the President of the National Domooratw Convention: CKASLKOTON. W. Vfc To the Hou. William L Wilson, CbalrWhunjn th* preeonoe of m.onoof my oountrvmen, 1 sooci'tod th* honor conferred upon me by ti e convent ion over whfoh yon presided, I promised to indicate by tatter, in a more formal manner, my acceptance of the nomination tendered me by the **eembled representative* of the Demooratlo party of the United Htatea. Hinoe that time I have been enaased continually in the diecuMton before th* people of many Htatea of the Union of the ts*nee emphasised by the convention and represented byonr candidate for l>re»Men», Grover Cleveland. Opportunity has thn* b.-en denied me to write with the care I would like the more formal answer promised to your committee.

His treatment of the loanee now before the oonntry for dlscnaeion and aettlement was eo oomph U that I can do little more than indorse his poeitlon and give it the einphaata of my unqualified approval. Power of Taxation. The greatest power conferred upon human government 1* that of taxation. AU th* great Struggles of the past for a broader political liberty have looked toward the limitation of this power by right to tax, a right which should always be limited by the neoeesttle* of government and to benefits which may be ehared by all. Whenever thia power 1* used

At Ltl B STXVKNBON

to draw tribute from the many for the benefit of the few, or wheu part of the people are oppressed in order thar the remainder may prosper unduly, equality is lost sight of, injustice hardens into precedent, which is nsed to excuse new exactions and there arises artificial distinctions which the beneficiaries come to look npon in due time as vested right*, sacred to themselves. It is plain that our present inequitable system of tariff taxation has promoted the growth of such conditions in onr land, favored though it has been by ah industrious and enterprising people, a friendly climate, a productive soil and the highest development of political liberty. If the I enefioiarles of this system shall be able to add a new tenure of power to those they have already enjoyed the development of these unfavorable conditions must continue until the power to tax will be lodged in those who are willing and able to pay for tha»perpetuation of privileges originally conferred by a confiding people for the preservation inviolate of their own government. There is no longer pretext or excuse for the maintenance of war tariff In times of peace, and more than a quarter of a oentury after armed conflict has oeaaed. The platform of the National Democratic Convention demands the reform of this system snd the adoption in its place of one which will Insure equality to all our people. I am in full and hearty accord with these purpOßCSs Concerning Currency. The convention alao declared its position on the currency question in no unmeaning word* when it said in it* platform, “We hold to the use of both gold and silver ** the standard money of the country, and to the coinage of both gold and silver, without discriminating against either metal or charge rot mintage, but the dollar unit of coinage of both metals must be of equal intrinsic and exchangeable value or be adjusted through International agreement or by such safeguards of legislation a* shall insure the parity of the two metal* and the equal power of every dollar at all times in the market* and in the payment of debt, and we demand that all paper currency shall bo kept at pu with and redeemable in suoh coin." To this plain and unequivocal declaration in favor of sound, honest money I subscribe without reservation or qualification. A safe circulating medium is absolutely essential to the protection of the business interests of onr country, while to the wage-earner or the farmer it is all-important that every dollar, whatever its form, that finds its wav Into his pocket shall be of equal, unquestioned and universally exchangeable valut and of equal purchasing PoW * r ‘ The Lodge Bill Another issue of great moment in the pending contest is the force bill, the magnitude of which cannot be overstated. It may mean the control of the election of representatives in congress by the bayonet. The republican party, by it* act* in the List congress and by its platform* in its late national convention, stand* pledged to the passage of this bilL Th*t it will pass it when it has the power no san* man can doubt. To all our people who desire the peace and prosperity of our common country this question is all-important. Since my nomination I have been in eight of the Southern and Southwestern States of the Union, and have talked with men of all classes and conditions there. I found a general and growing apprehension of evils which, it is believed, would result from the passage of the Lodge bill or similar threatened legislation. I found the industries established by Northern capital dnring Mr. Cleveland’s administration in a languishing condition, that the immigration of labor and the Investment of capital invited to those States by their then peaceful condition had tn a large measure ceased. The - enactment of the force bill into a law, while it would threaten the liberties of the entire people, would undoubtedly retard the material growth of the States at which it Is specially aimed, would incite in many communities race troubles and invite retaliatory legislation which would disturb property values and discontinue and destroy the security of Northern investments. And its reflex action upon the Northern States would result in a consequent loss of commercial and trade relations with the vast territory now becoming tributary to their wealth and prosperity. I say nothing now of the inherent vice of the un-American and revolutionary spirit involved in the Lodge bill which was pronounced by a Republican Senator “the most infamous that ever crossed the threshold of the Senate.' I appeal to the instinct of self-lntereet and to the sense of common justice in the American people. The era of good feeling and renewed commercial relation* commencing with the administration of Mr. Cleveland in 1884 should not be Interrupted by the Inauguration of a policy which tend* to destroy popular representation and the purity of local self-govern-ment, which furnlHhe*; an Instrument to discredited federal power So perpetuate Itself, which seeks to keep alive sectional jealousies and strife, which threatens important and material interests ami which offers no excuse or palliation for its existence except tho perpetuation in power of a political party which has lost public confidence. ~ I accept the nomination tendered me. and, should the action of the convention meet the approval of my conntrymen, will, to the best of mv ability, dlscliarge with fidelity the duties of the Important trust confided to me.
