Denver now boasts of the first Democratic mayor ever elected in that city.— Good for Denver. In the municipal elections in Ohio, the Democracy made considerable gains aU over the State. In Kansa- the women generally vote** the Democratic ticket. It is said the wives of many prominent Republicans voted for Democratic candidates. The cackling saint is evidently badly afflited with a guilty censuring censuring conscience. He does not admit that for a very small pittance he printed very small ‘dodgers' for a show company containing matter calculated to compromise the minister named therein, the denomination with which he is connected and his people, but from the delirium into which our short allusion has thrown him, we need no further admission—a guilty conscience needs no accuser. Our remarks, in the first place, were intended for whoever did the printing. We had not seen the little ‘boomrang, ’ and therefore was unable to locate its paternity; besides the Republican man joined with the people in bitter denunciation|of the comedy company for the part they had taken in perpetration of the “shabby trick' this, too, when, from the rage that has taken possession of him, it seems he had a part in the undertaking—that of printing the dodgers. It is not s matter of regret with our neighbor for the great wrong done, but fear of losing patronage which he boasts was carried past our office to his by our religious friends. We believe we have never solicited the work he refers to; where we find partisan preferences controlling we leave those under such inflence severely alone. Our neighbor seems to be following in the wake of one of his partisan, predecessors who regarded anything legitimate that promised to gratify his ambition or satisfy his hankcring for boodle. Will he prifit by tho example? v

Tke New York Press has been employ ed bylthe Carnegie monopolists to manufacture the “protection” grists hertofore furnished by the Home Leagpe, and the protection organs every week present to their readers the productions of that Concern, the points they desire to impress upon their readers heavily underscored. The following diagranj, from that source, recently appeared in the Rensselaer Republican: Yes, we do pretty well in leather goods and even export them. Our average exports of leather manufactures for five years (1885 to 1889) were $9,839,469, While in $12,438,847. And this increasing export is going on in spite of our wicked protection system. Now ,what are the facts? The raw material of leather—hides—was taxed at the custom houses 10 per cent, up to 1872. In that year tt was put on the free list. The experts of leather goods in 1872 amounted to $3,682,029, But the exports began to jump up the moment we put hides on the free list until in 1890 they amounted to Thus, in 1890, with their raw material on the free list, our leather manufacturers exported nearly four times as much of their products as they did in 1872, when their raw material was taxed. They gave employment to a correspondingly greater amount of labor and paid out a correspondingly greater amount of money In wages. What free raw materials have done for the leather industry they would do for all the other gj eat American industries. But what about the fearful and wonderful tariff diagrams of the New York Press?

Here is another specimen of the illustrated protection fictions diagramed by the New York Press for the readers of the Rensselaer Republican and other organs of that party: The average price of our imports of tiu in 1888 was 28 cents a pound, H ABBIS v Axnerican tin resources assured and the average import price for 1890 Wliß cents a pound. These Press diagrams are supposed to be highly impressive and very crushing, and are quite generally reproduced by the minor organs of monopoly. They are easily made. You simply draw two lines, one shorter than the other, to fit the fairy story you are telling, and the “printer does the rest.” In the above elegant extract, for instanee, the biack lines bear no possible relation to the facts. The price of tin-plate is now 15 per cent, higher than it was when the McKinley law took effect. The Indianapolis Journal, respnblican state organ, admits this, and in order to relieve the McKinley bill attributes the blame to a combine among the Welsh manufacturers. However, the tin-plate ciiagram of the New Yolk Press is just as truthful as its other diagrams. They are all built f the same way. Pekin Duck Eggs, for sotting purpose for sale by John Bchanlaub.
