Sen vtoh Hoak said at the Lincoln Club dinner in Jersey City: Let six men, whom you or I could name, in the i'nited States senate: let one man, whom you or I could name, in the executive chair, declare tomorrow morning that they, or he, will not permit for the next three years any change in the tariff policy of this country, and will see that theMcKinleybill has a fair trial, and if within six weeks the wheels of the factories of the United States are not turning again, and the tires in its furnaces are not lighted again, and the work in its iron mines and coal mines is not resumed, and its capital is not beginning to move, and prosperity and comfort do not come back again to the homes of its workmen, you may sentence me to he a free trader and a democrat for the rest of my natural life, and I cannot invoke ' for myself any worse fate than that. It is evident that Senator Hoar has perfect faith in his proposition as witness the big forfeit named. The country is very largely of the same mind. The quickest, safest, surest way to prosperity would be for the democratic party to throw
up hands and quit.

CALHOL'MSV STILL ALIVK. < rawgordsvllle Journal. Speaking of Pennsylvania and the 175,000 plurality just received by a republican, the Indianapolis Xeics has this to say: Her interest in the McKinley scheme is of the same character as was South Carolina's interest in slavery a generation ago. The system of free-trade in the United States had its origin in the state of South Carolina and was loved and nurtured there under the fostering care of John C. Calhoun, and today the rankest, meanest kind of free-trade is known as “Cal hounism.’’ Curiously enough, this system was the outgrowth of the crime of slavery, as beggary is today the outgrowth of prospective free-trade. The two systems are naturally found together. Either will beget the other. South Carolina favored free trade for the reason that she had to buy all her agricultural products from the north, and wanted to trade the products of her slave labor for manufactured articles made in England. The English manufacturers wanted to down the manufacturing interests of the north and induced the south to join them, and the alii ance is stionger today than it was a generation ago. South Carolina, like England, has always labored under the false impression that this country should he wholly ng ricultural and trade such products for commodities manufactured abroad. Pennsylvania never did think so, and with no uncertain sound she stills proclaims the idea of building up her resources for the benefit of her people, and her wealth today is fifteen times that of South Carolina. It is not a lit-
tle amusing to see the Xeirs still

Pennsylvania is a republican state; but under sane democratic

general drift of public sentiment was favorable to that party, it has been carried for the democracy; and for the democracy,under these same conditions, Pennsylvania could have been carried last Tues-
day.
Instead of going democratic, Pennsylvania recorded its verdict against the present management of the democracy by one of the heaviest pluralities ever east against any party in any state. We speak of handwiiting on the wall. The phrase is too feeble. This is a portent blazoned across the sky. Is there any democrat so blind that he does not see it? Is there any democrat so crazy that he does not understand why it is that in this one state among forty-four, the republican plurality this year is certainly one-third a.t large, probably almost one-half as large, as the entire plurality for Grover Cleveland on the popular vote in all forty-four states only fifteen months ago?
A PROPHECY FI LFILLED. The fact that James G. Blaine predicted the exact condition of things now prevailing in this country, and as accurately showed the causes which would lead up to it, is recalled by the Toledo Wudt. Read the words of this greatest of latterday American statesmen, and see how clearly the drift of events indicated to him the evils that were to

“1 love my country and my countrymen. I am an American, and I rejoice every day of my life that I am. I enjoy the general prosperity of my country, and know that the workingmen of this laud are the best paid, the best fed and the (test clothed of any laborers on the face of the earth. Many of them have homes of their own. They are surrounded by all the comforts and many of the luxuries of life. I shudder, however, at the thought that the time 11111st come when all this must lie changed, when the general prosperity of the country will be destroyed. when the great body of workingmen in this land, who are now so prosperous, will hear their wives and children cry for bread: that the day must come when the great factories and manufactories of this land will shut down; and where there is now life and activity where will be the silence of the
tomb.
And the reason why this must he is this: The great southern wing of the democratic party are determined to establish the doctrine of free trade in this land. They will be assisted by their northern allies. There is a great body of visionry. but educated, men. who are employed day by day in writing free j trade essays and arguments in favor of' the doctrine, which find their way to every newspaper in the land. The great body of people have never experienced, themselves, the sufferings which always result when the protective principles
are laid aside.
Poisoned and excited by the wild statements of these writers and thedeinagogie appeals of the democratic speakers, the result will be that in the ven near future these forces which now working will he strong enough to defeat at the polls the party advocating the

May not his overwhelming vietoiy of Tuesday, then, be construed as a partial tan IT-reform victory?” If a partial endorsement of the Wilson bill, a partial victory for tariff reform, means a republican majority of 183.000, how big a republican majority will he required for an entire endorsement and a complete tarilt reform victory? This question is for mathematicians only. We wouldn't vex the souls and set a-hoiling the brains of two so buoyant philosophers and good men struggling with adversity, ns the Springfield lle/iublicaH and the Boston l/rnihl, by any base considerations of numbers and ! logic.

The Hnnocrot of last Saturday advises the Bannkk Times to eliminate from its columns its “iterations about democratic hard times." We assure our neighbor that we would gladly take its advice if it were possible. No doubt, every democratic paper in the land would gladly permit and aid, if possible, their republican neighbors in dropping this most disagreeable subject. It's like, however, a celebrated ghost spoken of, “it won’t down." This “democratic hard times” cry, of course, worries our democratic neighbors as it rightly should. Democratic papers have consciences. it seems, and they are being ground by these practical illustrations of democratic incompetence, neglect and utter disregard for the welfare of the workingmen. No, neighbor, it wouldn’t do for us all to take your view of what the Wilson bill will (as you say) do. Some of us will have to tell the truth, and as the Bannkk Times is constructed on those lines, we shall continue to tell the peopU what is ailing them. That, is some-

The people will then see, as they have never seen before, that they cannot lie prosperous and have work while this principle is threatened. In the midst of their sufferings they will learn that the only way they can be prosperous and happy is to vote for the party that has built up the industries by which they have gained a livelihood; because they will then see clearly that when the manufactory is shut down there is no demand for the only tiling which they have to sell, and that is their labor.” TWO SMI LI XU WEEPERS.

In all the history of optimistic philosophy there will not be a page that will crinkle more joyously than the record of the composed fortitude with which ttvo of our mugwump friends, the Boston Herald and the Springfield Jtepablicatt, hear up under the tremendous crush in Pennsylvania. “A few years ago,” says the Boston philosopher, “Mr. Grow urged that free-trade in coal would be decidedly ad van-

This is undoubtedly the last chance that the democrats will have for many years to revise the tarifi, for the republicans will carry congress this year and the presidency and congress in 189G. For their own satisfaction, therefore, the democrats should get together and pass some sort of a tariff bill.

I’lie rhyming of the following is not of the best, as “hope” does not jingle musically with “soup,” but the sentiment is there, and taking it all in all the verses are about as classical as some others that have appeared locally lately:

All of which makes good reading for republicans. As the Greencastle Democrat has “classified" Charles A.
