If high birth were not respected, the peopie would be sad. * His gran’ther licked some Indians nign eighty years ago, p And on William Henry's shoulders grandson acn to fame will go. Then bring out your scarfs and badges, and raise a wiki hurroo, Wear* going to fight over the battle of Tlppecanoa He* ih me people's hearts deep joy and pride will well, To think they’ve got a candidate whose ancestry is swell. The time has passed for Lincolns, for plain and commen men; The Q. O.

Why We Will Win.

A correspondent has asked us fora plain Statement of the reasons for our faith in the triumphant election of Cleveland and Thurman. We will endeavor to answer the inquiry briefly, without overstatin" anything that bears upon the grounds of our confidence. We have already dwelt on the wonderful unanimity of the Democratic party for Cleveland, and explained our conviction that the feeling of the people of the United States toward the present president is akin to that of the masses of his supporters toward Lincoln, after he had been severely tried and found true and capable. The sentiment is one cf intimacy between the people and their chief pubilc servant, arising out of equal devotion to a com moQ end and sincere effort to promote it by direct and plain endeavor. No manifestoes of organisations, no journalistic puffs, are needed to introduce Cleveland to the people. They know him as a man knows his' next door neighbor or hiu brother, and they understand that what ho does he doaa for tbem in ibe way they pvould like him to do it. They suspect him of no ulterior motive, nor of cherish* ing any scheme for tho benefit pf himself or any one else but the people at large. They trust him. They have- tried liim. They have found him true, and they will not stop him in the middle of his work. We believe that this sentiment means votes to be counted by the million., and therefore wo think, as wo said five months ago, that in the extent of the Democrat;. majority the result of tho national election of 1888 will relatively more closely resemble that of the state contest in 1882 than tho conclusion of the federal electoral campaign of 1534, The result of 1834 was a Democratic success.

Prosperity ruder Democratic Tariff

From 1810 to 1861, under the tariff law my friend denounces, the tonnage of *ur shipping engaged in foreign trad* increased trout 943,807 tons to 2,493,894 tons, an increase of almost 800 per cent.; and from 1861 to 1887, tinder tariff law* which he commends, onr shipping gradually decreased until, aceordingto the last report, we have but 989.412 tons of shipping engaged in foreign trade, showing a loss under Republican rule of two thirds of our foreign tonnage. Again, in 1861 American vessels carried 66 per cent, of our exports and imports, while today but 15 per cent, are carried in American vessels. Our exports of domestic merchandise were only $101,907,734 in 1846; In 1860 they were 0310,242.423, an increase of more than 300 per cent. We had but 4,930 miles of railroad in 1846, unci in 1861 we had 81,288, an increase of moro than COO per cent. The historv of our country snows that our manufactures flourished between 1846 and 1860, but I can give no accurate data. The census of 1850 and that of 1860, however, givo accurate information of the marvelous increase of that industry during that period, under a strictly ad valorem tariff. The capital invested In manufactures was $533,345,851 in' 1850, and $1,009,855,715 in 1800, an increase of nearly 100 per cent. In 1850 the materials used in factories were valued at $655,128,822; iu 1860 the consumption of material amounted to $1,081,005,093, an increase of 100 per cent., and the products of t bate establishments was $1,019,106,016 in ~18.50 and $1,855,861,0111 in 1860, an increase of nearly 100 per cent. The assessed value of all property in the United States was $6,034,666,909 in ISSO and $12,084,560,000 in 1800, an increase of more than 100 per cent. The value of farms in the United States in 1850 was $3,231.676,426 nnd in 1860 they were worth $6,645,045,007, another increase of more than 100 per cent. I insist that the history of no country at any time can show such unexampled percentage of progress, and yet this Is the pem id selected fay the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Burrows) os one,of “industrial depression.’*—Hon. Joseph Wheeler iu House Debate.

The False Prophets of 1872.

About sixteen, years ago what occurred?

Too Much Grandfather.

It la just pot '.iMF’Die grortdfather business inav be overdone. The American people never have shown any particular regard for hereditary rulers or law fo"' ’ ~ and. there is a decided feeling just cow that 1888 has not much to do with 1840. An honorable lineage is a thing to be proud of, but not a thing to boast about, and it really counts for but little in this country in the popular esteem for public men. Gen Harrison has a good enough record of his own to need no bolstering from his grandfather, who was not a very great man himself, and in the disposition to gw back two or three centuries and drag the preceding geneiatiom*- of Harrisons from their peaceful graves ..there is some danger of making him ridiculous. ft k ft'M the Cromwellian, nor the Virginian nor even "Old Tippecanoe” that is runni; - for tho presidency this yeqr.

Of tbo nomination of Mr. Morton httl© need be said. Ho is an ambitious rich nan, and he was.nominated on account of the size of his pile.

Haw California Lsbown Are By the last census there were 376,9 pffraens engaged in all kinds of occnpff tious hi California. Of three 348.000 wew In unprotected Industries, 14,500 in protected industries and 14,025 in occupations not described with enough denniteness to *e classified. There wet* twenty-four times - as many unprotected workers as there were “protected” one*, and evdß allowing all the doubtful ones to the protected column, the excess wafl still moire than twelve to one. * 1 It Is a very moderate statement to sag that to nineteen out of every tuuda workmen in California the tariff ift p®* a burden—that it does not even prtww? to give them any direct benefits in ex change for Its exactions. Now, w« desire the particular attention of those who are taught to consider them. Belvaa favored bv this tax, which bears so heavily upon at least nineteen-twentieths of the community. We wish to address you purely from thepdnt of view of yotjr own interests. That Is the ground taken by the high tariff organs, and we are willing to vaqei tb*m there. You, then, who work in cigar factories end woolen mills and boot andehoe establishments, has It evejr VcurT*d to you just how much of tho ben efit of the tariff you got? You all help to p*y the rest. You And your living expenses a fourth higher that! thepr would be if you Were not “protected. ’ But ho-.v is ft on tho other side? If you compare your wages with those of people In other occupations, you wtu find it an invariable rulo that the lowest are in protected Industrie The one man for whose banoflt we a?o told the whole tremendous tariff system exists gets less than the nineteen who arb taxed,,along with himself, to keen his wages up. Yon may find a partial explanation*! this circumstance, so far as C&liform concerned, by referring to the local columns of today’s Examiner. There you will see that tho “protected A moncan ™ r ” of 8,111 Francisco Is mostly Chinese. The protected industries are the great employers of Chinese labor.—San Francisco Examiner.

Even in Pennsylvania the Farmer Is Robbed.

How has this policy affected the agricultural industries of my own state? It <san be stated iu a few words and in a. manner that cannot bo mhuuKioi’Htood. b cr favm lands were valued at $1,048,481,582; in 1880 they wero valued ft $075,889,410. Thus in ten years the farmers of my state have lost $87,782,172 In the decline of their property. there were produced in my state 19,482,405 bushels of wheat; in 1887 there were produced only 11,105,830 ahhwing a falling off in seventeen years ot 8,007,117. Doubtless the next census will shew a cotlnuous decline in tho value of. real estate, so that the loss in these twas items of the Pennsylvania farmers m» fairly be estimated at iu seP enteen years. In 1880 there wero engaged in Pezmarlvania in agricultural pursuits 801, people over the ago of 10 years, and Ih manufacturing, mechanical and mining capital invested in mauuffcstruxjs in tho same year was §.'474,499,993, a:, agaiant $075,8W1,4i0 m vested in fajin tends. No account is taken of cattle, howes or agricultural implements, as there is not if tho value of the materials of the manufacturers. Now, even in my state, so highly favored by protection, it is shown' that fhere is a class of our people that? havo suffered almost, calamitous injuries by the invidious system of tariff taxation* and by reason of its enoirAns' iuvest-# inter- i,sentitled t , fair - lay, whiclT as one of their \ hero demand.—Hun L:vl of Pennsylvania, in House Debate.
