NEW YORK SAFE.

timmui/ Hall Will do Better Than In 1888. In a recent interview Colonel John R.. Fellows, a leader of Tammany hall, said: “New York city will give Cleveland 60,000 majority. Kings county will give him 30,000 more and the other Democratic counties on Long Island will be good for at least 5,000 more. This gives us a majority of 85,000, and I can not see how Harrison can come down to Harlem bridge with more than 70,000 majority.” “Why do you think Kings county,” I asked, “will give Mr. Cleveland 20,000 majority this year when it only gave him 13,000 four years ago.” “Four years ago,” was the reply, “Kings was stolen from us. Mr. McLaughlin was as certain that Cleveland would have 18,000 majority in Kings as he could be certain of anything. It was so great a surprise to him as it was to anybody when he saw how the vote had fallen off. The Republicans threw an enormous corruption fund into Brooklyn and stole it from under our very noses, for we had no idea that they contemplated such a course.” “What is to prevent them from repeating such tactics this year, if not in Brooklyn, elsewhere?” ‘‘The Australian ballot law,” replied Colonel Fellows. “It will be impossible to buy up voters under that law with any degree of success. It is for this rea-* son we think we will have at least 60,000 in New York city and our vote in Kings county ought to be at least 2,000 beyond what we figured it four years ago.” “If your estimates are correct they would indicate that Tammany hall is going to do its whole duty by the Democratic party.” “I am sure of that,” was the reply, with much earnestness. “Tammany will do better work for Cleveland this year than she did four years ago, and in saying that I do not mean to say that Tammany hall neglected her ditty by the presidential candidate. What I mean is, an impression prevails that our organization is hostile to Cleveland. We are hostile to him, but since this impression exists we think we must neutralize it by putting forth our best efforts. I believe we will do better work for Cleveland this year than we would have done if Tammany hall had not opposed him.” “Some of your people opposed Mr. Cleveland at Chicago on the ground that if nominated he could not be elected. How do you reconcile that with your declaration that you are going to roll up an increased majority for him ?” “Some of our people,” replied Colonel Fellows, “were a little injudicious in saying that. A great majority of our delegation, however, was not so extreme as that. We merely said we would have some difficulty in electing Mr. Cleveland, owing to his lack of popularity in some localities, but no well informed man said we could not elect him if we tried. We shall try, and we expect to succeed.” The Fourth of July celebration by Tammany hall, in another evidence that New York is all right, and that there will be no skulking by Senator Hill and his followers. Senator Hill closed his letter to the society as follows: “Our course at the present time is plain, the Democracy of New York in the approaching struggle should present a solid front to the common enemy. Loyalty to cardinal Democratic principles and regularly nominated candidates is a supreme duty of the hour.” Governor Flower, who was at the head of the Hill delegation at Chicago, in his letter to Tammany hall said: “The party is fortunate in having as its standard bearer in this great contest for the rights of the people two excellent representatives of the United States principles and traditions, and under their leadership personal differences will be subordinated to party success.” Burke Cockran and other Tammany leaders in no uncertain language committed themselves to the support of Cleveland.

Harrison’s Organ Still for Carnegie.

The Indianapolis Journal, home organ of President Harrison, is found on the side of Carnegie in the great conflict between the tariff baron and his workmen. The Journal is simply maintaining its reputation as an enemy to organized labor. There never has been a dispute between capital and labor when The'Joumal had a word of sympathy for the workmen. During the great coal miners’ strike in Indiana three years ago The Journal filled its columns daily with such advice to organized labor as the following elegant extracts: The tyranny of labor organizations over labor is far more absolute and galling than that of capital over labor. The real slavery of labor is that imposed by labor unions.— Journal, June 11,1889. Five dollars a week is low wages, but it is not “pauper labor” by a good deal.— Journal, June 18,1889. In Great Britain coal miners receive from $1 to $1.12 a day. The miner’s lot is hard enough, but at the lowest wages ever paid or offered in the country the American miner can make a good deal more than (he foreign miners work for all the time. There is no “pauper labor” in the United States. It is an insult to call any man a pauper laborer who can earn even $6 a Week.—Journal, June 18, 1889, Not a single dollar has been added to (he wages of American labor in the iron industries since the passage of the McKinley bill. On the contrary, wages have been reduced. The only beneficiary of the tariff is the capitalist.—New York World.

CHAIRMAN CAMPBELL’S RECORD.

A Tale of the Beef Trust. President Harrison requested that W. J. Campbell, of Illinois, be chosen chairman of the national Republican committee. He was duly selected to manage Harrison’s campaign. Senator Vest, who it will be remembered headed an investigating committee to break up the beef combine of the country, knows Campbell. Here is what he has to say of Campbell: “This man Campbell is a corporation lawyer doing the bidding of the money kings of Chicago and looking out for their interests in the forwarding of all their schemes. I do not doubt his ability, but what I wish to emphasize is that his ability has never been at the service of the people. I first encountered him in St. Louis several years ago, when a special committee of the senate met there to investigate the great beef trust, which Armour, of Chicago, and his associates were at that time and are still manipulating. Campbell appeared as the attorney for Armour and began at once to throw obstacles in our path. He did everything he could to prevent the gathering of information by the committee which would show the inside workings of the beef monopoly and how the producers of beef were oppressed by it. He followed the committee to Chicago, Kansas City, New York and Washington, continuing his obstructive tactics at every point, and at Chicago he capped the climax by instructing his clients to disregard the summons of the committee to appear before it. “He is still the legal adviser of Armour and is serving him as faithfully as ever. He is paid to be the genius of the whole beef monopoly business. All the questions of importance affecting the trust are submitted to him. He is the guide, philosopher and friend of the Armour tribe and is invaluable to them. They supply the money and attend to the business details of the offensive combination, but it is Campbell who looks after the matters of larger import and directs the workings of the complicated machinery. The monopoly is flourishing like a green bay tree. It controls the beef market both here and abroad. The railroads are in its grasp, and what are known as the cattle ships are nearly all in its power. The beef producer in this country was never before forced to sell at so low a figure as now prevails. He gets at present three and one-half or at most four cents per pound, while in London the price is twelve and one-half cents. The Armour crowd, with Campbell as their legal head, have everything to suit themselves, and the result is that the beef producer is entirely at their mercy.”

THE AMERICAN TIN FAKE.

A Chance for the Tin Plate Liar to Make a Fortune. The following letter to the Fort Wayne Journal is from a man who means business. Chairman Fairbanks, of the late Republican state convention, is respectfully invited to communicate with Mr. W. E. Haines. Mr. Fairbanks is reputed to be a large stockholder in the Elwood tin plate works and he should not allow Mr. Haines’ offer to go by default. Mr. Haines’ letter is as follows: Portland, Ind., June 29. This morning’s Gazette states that there is a “cargo of America* pig-tin in New York for sale.” I will give tIOO a pound for American tin. I have just come from California and there is no tin ore there or any where else on the American continent that has yet been discovered. I have been connected with the mining industries of this country for the last thirty years and know something about the metals and minerals of the /United States. I was at Elwood, Ind., last week where they are making a small quantity of tin for political effect. The tin ore used there and everywhere else in this country is imported from England many thousands of dollars have been expended in proepeoting for tin ore in this country, but without success. There has been no tin ore discovered as yet. The iron and steel used at Elwood and elsewhere in this country that is plated with tin is manufactured here, but the tin ore imported. As regards my integrity and financial standing, I refer you to any bank at St. Louis or Chicago. I consider it wicked to deceive the people about tin being present on the soil of the United States. Yours truly,

The Same Campbell.

Ex-Senator Farwell, of Illinois, upon returning from Europe found out to his great astonishment that the man whom he recommended for collector of customs at Chicago three years ago but rejected by Harrison, had been selected chairman of the national committee at the president’s request. Farwell is under the impression that it was Harrison’s unpopularity that caused a Democratic legislature to be elected in Illinois. For this reason he is very bitter toward the president. He does not conceal his contempt for Harrison as will be seen by the following sarcastic letter addressed to the Washington Post: Some three years ago, more or less, while I was in the senate of the United States, I recommended a gentleman by the name of William J. Campbell for the office of collector of customs at Chicago. All the Republican members of congress recommended this gentlemen at the same time tut this office. The president said "that he was a professional lobbyist and unfit for this position, and that he would not appoint him.” Will you be kind enough to inform me whether the Campbell appointed chairman of the national committee (at the urgent request of the president) is the same Campbell whom he refused to appoint to a federal position because he was a “professional lobbyist and unfit for it ?”

A “Keynote” of Misrepresentation.

Speaking of the proceedings of the Chicago convention in regal'd to the tariff, Senator Hale says: All incidental protection of the American laborer in his competition with unpaid and pauper labor abroad, all recognition of great industries built up under the protective system, were ruthlessly tossed aside and kicked out of the presence of the convention by the Democratic party there assembled. And President Harrison, the chosen leader of the Republican party, in his letter to the New York League of Republican clubs writes in the same strain, thus: The majority report seemed to recognize that some regard might be had in the tariff legislation of the interests of our American workingmen; that in making the tariff reductions injury to our domestic industries should be avoided, and that such changes should be regardful of labor and capital connected therewith. All of these declarations were stricken out by an overwhelming vote of the convention, atad the resolutions adopted must, in the light of this vote, it seems to me, be construed to be an affirmative declaration that Democratic legislation upon the tariff will be without any regard to its effect upon the wages of American workingmen, and without any thought of its destructive effect upon American industries. This gross misrepresentation and perversion of the meaning of the proceedings and final declaration of the Democratic convention may be accepted as the Republican “keynote.” Senator Hale states the truth when he says: “The platform originally suggested contained a distinct reference to the difference between labor in this country and abroad *as a factor in making up tariff legislation.” But it is not true that when they “kicked out” this reference the Democrats showed the least indifference to the interests of American laborers. The truth is they showed the highest reg;trd for the interests of labor by kicking out the utterly false assumption and pretense that the so-called protective tariff protects or in any way benefits ■American workingmen as a class to the smallest extent. They manifested the highest regard for the true interests of workingmen by kicking out a sophistical assumption that has been used for many years to delude them into the support of a system which has filched from their earnings an aggregate of many hundreds of millions of dollars. The Democrats have boldly expoused the cause of workingmen by kicking out the doctrine of greedy imposters that laborers can be benefited by taxes of any kind. The Democratic party rejects with Contempt the pretense put forward to hood-wink workingmen that labor is better rewarded in this country than elsewhere because of the tariff. It denounces the Republican tariff as a fraud, the whole purpose and effect of which is to invest the few with authority and power to rob the many and to fatten. their bank accounts under shelter of law out of the earnings of the toiler. It denies without qualification that the substitution of a tariff for revenue only for a tariff for spoliation mainly would be disastrous to a single industry that ought to survive and it denies emphatically that any industry ought to survive which . can not stand on its own legs and which must fall unless borne, a heavy burden, cn the shoulders of industries which must stand alone or not stand at all. The Democratic party will not permit itself to be placed in a false position before the workingmen of this country nor before their employers. It stands on the solid ground of truth and honesty and will defend its position against all comers.—Chicago Herald.

The midsummer mass meeting of the Democratic Legislative League of Indiana will be held at Lake Maxinkuckee on July 19 and 20, 1892. The Democracy throughout the state, Moluding the members of the Demon* atAc press, are requested to ■attend. An interesting program will be arranged and distinguished speakers will make addresses. Excursion rates on all railroad lines will be secured. Turn out, Democrats, and make this the grand initial meeting of the canvass. Democratic papers throughout the state please copy. By order of the president. H. F. Work. New Washington, Ind.

W. E. HAINES.

We stand for a protective tariff because it represents the American home, the American fireside, the American family. —William McKinley at Republican National Convention, June 8, 1892. On all imports coming into competition with the products of American labor there should be levied dudies eqval to the difference between wages abroad and at home. — Republican Platform, June 9,1892. They ask whether I consider the McKinley bill just to the poor. Well, I should say so. A bill which has for its object the aiding of the poor by raising their wages, it seems to me, is a just one.— Ex-Speaker Reed at Buffalo, Oct. 15,189 ff

CARNEGIE TO PRESIDENT HARRISON. The American people know a good thing whan they get ft. Heartiest congratulations. You deserve this triumph.—Andrew Carnegie, at Sunningdale, Scotland, June It was the McKinley bill that was to keep up the prices of labor. But why til these strikes?—Hartford Times.

Theory and Practice.

Pittsburg, June 12. The Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel W orkers has received from the Carnegie Steel company, limited, of Homestead, the firm’s scale for work in the ensuing year. In the open hearth furnaces the firm calls for a reduction of 19 per cent, from the present rate and in the armor plate department 20 per cent, of the old basis. In the plate mill the minimum is reduced from 825 to 122, and in this mill there is also a general reduction of 26 to 50 per cent. It is thought that there will be no change in the price for puddling. The rate is now (5.50 per ton and there is little support to a movement to advance it to (6.s6.— Associate! Press Dispatch.

“A FIRM ADHERENCE TO CORRECT PRINCIPLES.”

ABUSES OF PUBLIC OFFICE.

Serious Allegations Against President Harrison’s Alabama Appointees. A Washington special says: Some racy testimony against the Republican offico holders in Alabama will be consid ered by the house committee on civil service reform at the meeting which Chairman Andrews has called for tomorrow morning. The matter comes before the committee on the resolution offered Monday by Representative Herbert, of Alabama, for an investigation, and the strong feature of the charges is that they are signed by William J. Stevens, chairman of the Republican executive committee of Alabama, and dated June 35, 1892. This state committee represents the anti-office holding element in Alabama, and it is evident from their complaints that they are not ready to wheel into the Harrison column, even if the president has been renominated. In his letter to Representative Herbert Mr. Stephens incloses a copy of the resolutions unanimously adopted by the Republican state convention at Montgomery on April 20,1892, charging most flagrant violations of the civil service law. He goes further than this, however, and declares that the United States marshal and receiver of the Mobile and Girard Railroad company’s lands has not managed his trust in the interest of the government and that many thousands of dollars l»ve been disbursed without receipts or vouchers being taken. He makes serious charges against the United States district attorney and declares that he has continued cases on the promise of defendants that they would return home and use their influence in controlling conventions and has dismissed cases in order to secure indorsement as a candidate for judicial honors; that he has used his position to control the action of juries and in one case has called men from the jury room in order to change their vote and action before the jury; that the collector of internal revenue has not only violated the civil service law, but has levied, collected and borrowed large sums of money from numerous applicants for office, and that said money has never been returned. Several witnesses are cited to sustain the accusations and affidavits are made to some of them. The charges were laid before the civil service commission, but they have not yet been able to take any action, and Mr. Andrews’ committee is now asked to do something to bring out all the facts and prevent such abuses of their authority by President Harrison’s officeholders.

CARNEGIE’S GREAT STRIKE.

A strike in sixty iron mills, involving between 80,000 and- 40,000 operatives, is imminent. The workmen evidently believe that the tariff is a question of wages—Cleveland Press (People’s party). The most imposing and impressive Cleveland meetings of the campaign are now held daily and nightly by the thousands of employes of Mr. Carnegie’s steel works, near Pittsburg.—Philadelphia Times (Ind. Dem.). Can the Republicans show to the public any protected* industries which have advanced wages in consequence of the McKinley bill? If they can, they should lose no time in doing so.—Baltimore Sun. Mr. Carnegie has got all the protection he needs against foreign pauper labor. His fortress in Pittsburg is to protect him against American labor which refuses to be pauperized—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. It would appear that the tariff does not enable Mr. Carnegie to pay snch wages to his workingmen as they think themselves entitled to, or if it enables him to do so, he prefers to put the money into his own pocket.—Omaha WorldHerald (Ind.). If, in spite of a heavy tax to support the doctrine of protection, wages may be cut down the same as in an every-day free trade country, what benefit is it to the working people aside from the general pleasure of contributing to the tax? Kansas City Star (Ind.). As an illustration of Mr. Harrison’s pet theory that a highly protected industry always results in an increase of income for the grimy toiler, and that, therefore, the grimy toiler ought to vote the Republican ticket, this little incident will serve a valuable purpose.— New York Herald (Ind.). Mr, Carnegie’s firm will not yield a cent to the demand of laborers for the increased pay McKinleyism was to give them, but their contribution to the Harrison campaign fund will be handsome. Carnegie believes in McKinleyr ism. It batters his bread if it doesn’t butter the bread of American artisans. Chicago Times. A protective tariff, if nothing else, is a sneaking scheme of granting bonuses. Like all forms of indirect taxation, it was devised first to blind and then rob its victim. Bounties as promoters of industry and raisers of wages are more effective, when directly distributed, than the tariff, since there can be no doubt as to their recipient, while there is a grave suspicion that the money made from the tariff travels no farther than the treasury of protected barons like Carnegie.—Chicago Herald.

REPUBLICANISM REBUKED. «i—We commend the Legislature for refusing to a opt Governor Hovey's /eoommendation to Increase the State levy from 12 oents to 25 oents on the 9100, and for meeting the necessary expenses of the State’s benevolent Institutions by a levy of 6 oents on the SIOO. We denounce the infamous conspiracy of the Republican oounty commissioners, township trustees and other officials of Indiana, who, for the pnrpose of creating unfair prejudice against the new tax law, have wnntonly and needlessly increased the looal taxes, in the forty-six counties controlled by them, more than one million two hundred and fifty thousand dollars—a sum gieater than the total increase of the state taxes in the entire state. We call on the taxpayers of those counties to rebuke at the JQils these looal officials, who have put i;his needless and oppressive burden upon the people.—Extract from Democratic State Platform. THE ISSUE. We denounoe the Republican polioy of protection as a fraud, taxing the labor -f the great majority of the American people for the benefit of the few. We declare it to be a fundamental principle of (he Democratic party that the F)DERAL GOVERNMENT HAS NO CONBTI. TDTIONA*. POWER TO IMPOSE AND COLLECT TARIEF DUTIES EXCEPT FOR THB PURPOSE OF REVENUE ONLT, and WO demand that the collection of suoh taxes shnll be limited to the neeessities of the government when honestly and economically administered." From National Demooratio Platform. “To lay|with one hand the power of the government on the property of the citizen, and with the other bestow it upon favored individuals to build up private fortunes, is none the less robbery because it is done under the form of law and is called taxation. This is not legislation. It is a decree under legislative forms. Nor is it taxation. Beyond cavil, there can be no lawful taxation which is not laid for public purposes Opinion of Justice Miller, (Reoublicsn) of the United States Supreme court. The following from a speech delivered by Grover Clevel nd at Philadelphia on Jan. 8, 1891, is to the point and emphatic enough to satisfy all lovers of liberty.— When you read it bear in mind that President Harrison demands a force (political) bill that will plaoe the control of elections in the hands of his party. Here is what Mr. Cleveland said on the subject: “When we see our political adversaries bent upon the passage of a federal law, with the scarcely denied 'purpose of perpetuating partisan supremacy, which pei - vades the states with election machinery designed to promote federal interference with the rights of the people of the localities concerned, discrediting their honesty and fairness and justly arousing their jeulousy of centralized power, ye will stubbornly resist such a dangerous ano revolutionary scheme in obedience to our pledges for the support of the state government.” “The American people know a good thing when they get it. Heartiest congratulations. You deserve this triumph.” —Andrew Carnegie to President Harrison after his nominatinn a t Minneapolis. “The neoessaries of life used and oon sumed by all ihe people, the duty upon whioh add - to the cost of living in every home, should be greatly cheapened."— Cleveland’s message, 1877.

SMOKED OUT. Our Republican neighbor has at last been smoked out. Some Weeks ago an anonymou scribble: undertook the job, for the Republican, of “showing up" the republican view of the so-called tax law, referring to nn isolated case or two to show to what extent the law had Increased taxes. In one of the oases oited John •Mukeevci was interested, but as he un-

derstnnds the intent of the law to be to regulate the metnodof assessment oniy, and tho duty of the county board to fix the levy, it was no matter how high the assessment, the levy should have been proportionally reduced, and the responsibility rested with the board; and If the valuation was exoessiva the assessor was responsible for that, and ha ia cerreot- —' As wo said on a former ocoasion—if th# J assessed valuation for 1891 doubled that for 1890, to raise the same amount of money it waa simply neoeasary to reduoothe levy one-half. Our neighbor con easaa this when he says the County Commissioners reduced the 764 oents levy on the I f 100 valuation, oounty revenue, for the tax year 1890, down to 46 oents for the tax year 1891. The trouble ia there sho’d have been a greater reduction.

We have from time to time furnished facts and flgureß to bear oi.t our statements. We insist our neighbor do the same. Hlb wild assertions are wide of the mark and amount to nothing. His assertion (hat “The Demoooatshave piled up an enormous debt, for the people to pay interest upon,” from a reoord history of the state debt we; have proven false. About $6,000,000 of the debt waa created by tho opposition to the Demoo racy. About $3,000,000 was created by the Democrats in oarrymg out the requirement of laws enaoted by a republican legislature,—and poiut to the state house, aavluma, etc., as vouchers for the expenditure. The opposition furnish no vouchers for the $6,000,000. Ills assertion that the Democrats have “shifted the heaviest burden of taxation upon the property least able to bear it,” is refuted by the fight against it being confined to railroads, banking institutions ami other corporations.

Tho law was designed to inorease tbs stato revenue, by increased valuation with Ite existing 12 cent levy for the purpose of meeting expenditures and to provide a fund for payment of the state debt. A law was: enacted making a levy of C oents on the SIOO for the maintenaoe of the benevolent and reformatory instltututions of the state. This is the 50 per cent, inoieased slate levy referred to by onr neighbor. If he objects to It we desire that he should go on record. Yes, or ] No? The prosperous condition of our treasury, as portrayed by our neighbor, is a matter of congratulation. But why should it be otherwise in the face of increased local revenues made possible by the levy fixed by the county l oard? If local tuxes are higher than required for local purposes tho power which laid the levy is sponsibleHon. Johu W. Bookwalter, of Ohio, a wealthy manufacturer and a low tariff Democrat in commenting ou the Homestead affiilr says: “The Democratic party could not have prayed for u better illustration of the sham of protection than that whiob is , now bold us to view tHo estoad. Mr. | Carnegie has gone before Congress for j the past twenty years with bis dootrine of protetioc, and like a good, subservinent body, congress has always given him What he dusirod. He hnß advocated ! and reoeived protection ad uausem, out; his theories, instead of proving a bless* j ing to the workmen who were first and foremost in his philanthropic mind, have ; found their pratioal answer in the bullets of Pinkerton’s Winchesters. I, too am a manufacturer on a large scale, and I send my products to compete with the markets of the world. lam not staggering udder tao cp.iresslon of a pro tective tariff, but I um obli-.-ed to pay heavy duties ou my raw material. Still I am not called upon to enforce reduced wages, simply because I am satisfied with reasonable profits."

The fact that the Csrnegies and others are enabled to make enormously laige profits is a tribute to the Republican pol icy of protection oi Americ n industries; the fact that they will not pay their employes as much as they can afford or as much as the men uio reasonably entitled to receive, are ques ions at issue with which the government has nothing to do and tor which it cannot be made responsible.—Lafayette Courier (rep.) What a frank yet bruta "admission While the Courier admits that the Republican policy of promotion enables the Carnegies and others to makerenormouely large profits," it insists that the laboring people who make these ’enormously large profits" possible, have no rights th t the government is bound to respect. Co’d there be a stronger oone'emna: ion of the system of protection? Conld there be a stronger refntation of the claim that high tariff taxation is po pstuated in the interest of the laboring classes?—Logansport Pharos.

THE BEST APERIENT In modern pharmaey is, undoubtedly, Ayer’s Cathartic Pills. Except in extreme cases, physicians have abandoned the use of drastic purgatives, and recommend a milder, but no less effective medicine. The favorite is Ayer’s Pills, the superior medicinal virtues of which hare been certified to under the official seals of state chemists, as well aa by hosts of eminent doctors and pharmacists. No other pill so well supplies the demand of the general public for a safe, certain, and agreeable family medicine. “Ayer’s Pills are the best medicine I ever used; and In my judgment no better general remedy was Ever Devised I have used them in my family and caused them to be used among my friends and employes for more than twenty yean. To my certain knowledge many bases of the following complaints have been completely and permanently cured by the use of Ayer’s Pills alone: Third day chills, dumb ague, billons fever, sick headache, rheumatism, flux, dyspepsia, constipation, and hard colds. I know that a moderate use of Ayer’s Pills, continued for a few days or weeks, as the natura of the complaint required, would he found an absolute cure for the disorders I have named above.’’—J. O.
