Prizes will be awarded: The largest delegation in proporion to population of Township, and to the largest Torch-Light Company.in line. Excursion rates! Come everybody!

THE REASON WHY.

[Philadelphia ReoordJ Why are the wharf-owners o! Philadelphia revenue reformers? Because revenue reform woul< bring more ahipe into their doeks and more money into their pockets. That’s why. Why are tne ship calkers of this great oity revenue reformes? Because under a revenue reform regime, with untaxed calking-irons and untaxed mallets, they wou!4 have more ships, brigs, barks, brigantines anu schooners to calk. That’s why. Why are the sailmakers of Pniladelphia revenue reformers? Because with revenue reform would come more spars to shroud - more canvas to spread. That’s why tbe canvas-cutters are going to cut the G. O. P. in this canvass. That’s why they are revenue reformers. Why are the ship-carpenters of Philadelphia, Camden, Chester and Wilmington revenue reformers?

Because with unrestricted trade we shall put more ships afloat, there will be more ships to build, more ships to rebuild—more work, in a word, and a living chance for the unemployed grandsons of bMd carpenters who in days past were the apple of Philadelphia’s eye. That’s why the ship carpenters are revenue reformers. Why are the tug boatmen of this big town revenue reformers? Because they believe that revenue reform would bring more ships into the Delaware than now ascend our noble old river. That’s why they’re revenue reformers. Why are the marketmen who live near enough to the Delaware to hear a steam-boat’s whistle revenue reformers? Because increased activity among the shipping would put the blood of life into their own business. lhats why.

Those Thirty-two Tranks.

Cleveland (O.) Sunday World: Mr. Blaine could increase the interest in his campaign speeches by incorpoiating in each one of them an inventory of the articles contained in the thirty-two trunks which he brought from Europe on his return. We take it for granted, judging from his campaign speech rs, that he is far too patriotic to take advantage of the honest wage-earners of America by introducing goods of foreign manufacture, and hence we assume that the tnirty-two trunks contained mineral specimens and natural curiosities collected by Mr. Blaine and family daring their European jaunterings It would be well, however, fer Mr. Blaine to throw some tight on the subject during his stumping tour.

Who is to Get That $2,000?

Indianapolis Sentinel: The days come and the days go. and still Mr. Harrison and nis friends roost high, and decline to pay any attention whatever to the charges against Mr. Harrison, sworn to by Workingman Schwartz, on the ground that the latter ir not sufficiently responsible. It is said for Mr. Schwartz, however, by his neighbors and friends, that he is an np ight, honest man. It ie a new featnre in Indiana public discussion for a man oz party to take the position that any man is not sufficiently up in the world to be noticed. Mr. Schwartz mayor may not be correct in the statement he makes, but he takes the responsibility for it, and Mr. Harrison eannot break the force of it by turning his aristocratic back uponjhim. We think Mr. Schwartz' statement is entitled to as much credit a<? that of Ben. Harrison, We know of nothing in Harrison’s make-up that makes him better than his neibghbor. Until he sue-

cessfully refutes the charge the mauses will believe that he did declare <J a dollar a day sufficient remuneration for a laboring man.”

THE NEWARK BOMB.

New Yerk World: Newark is a great manufacturing city. On Saturday last the tariff scare attempted in New Jersey culminated in the cowardly and contemptible trick of handing the working joen their wages (defended solely wongh their ovn organization) in envelopes printed all (ver with campaign lies as to the alleged effect or tariff reduction on work and wages. On Tuesday Newark gave a net Democratic gain of 2,500 over the charter election in October, 1884: ind now the Tribune says: “It is not apparent that the tariff entered into the Newark contest in any degree whatsoever.” Oh, no! It never “antors into” anything where the Republicans lose—as they did in Maine, for instance. The Newark election made the sawdust flyfrom the battered ‘Free Trade’ scare crows.

A THOUSAND MEN DISCHARGED.

Brooklyn Citizen: Yesterday The Citizen called attention to the action of the notorious Sugar Trust in dosing up two refineries n Boston and throwing out of employment, on the edge of the win:«r, some three hundred of their lands. It was stated at the same ime that a similar closing down vas threatened for Brooklyn, on :he ground that the price of sugar is not np to the high water mark set by the trust, and to force it up ligher it would be necessary tc reduce the amount produced. I n complete verification of this announcement, as will be seen from our mews columns to-day, President Havemeyer, of the Sugar Trust, has issued an order to shut down the two refineries operated >y Messrs. Decastro & Donner, which employ altogether 1,000 men. The members of the firm will receive their allotted share of ;he profits of the pool, but their workmen will go idle until such ime as the trust has disposed of all the sugar on hand, and, by making a shortage, has forced up ;he price. Thej profits that will ihus accrue to the firm and the irnst at large will be taken directly ! rom the pockets of the 1,000 workingmen, who have been summarily discharged for no fault of their own.

From a moral point of view, we think, the reader will agree with HI that this act is infamous. It is no more defensible than an act of highway robbery. The employees are simply overwhelmed bra superior force and are compelled to surrender their wages to tne trusts. According to the Democratic Attorney General of this State the aetion is not only a moral crime, but depends for its commission upon a distinctly illegal act, namely, the transfer to an illegal body called a trust of 4 he corporate privileges bestowed upon the firms of which the trust consists. And the Supreme Court of Tennessee has deoided that such action is unlawful. But the Republicans have laid it down, as one of the issues of thisTfempaign, that the formation of these combinations, or, es President Cleveland justly entitles them, conspiracies, is entirely lawful. General Harrison and Warner Miller acquiesce in Mr. Blaine's positive statement that “trusts are private concerns, with which neither the President nor any one else has a right to interfere." The Republicans made this issue and the Democrats have accepted ii ' " ' Ml i General Harrison criticises Secretary Fairchild |for depositing part of the surplus where the people can borrow it Yet John Sherman, when Secretary, deposited in one favored bank, more money than all of them now hold. —Minneapolis News Letter.
