In an address made in Chicago in March of this year tie said: "I am one of those unlnstructed political economists that have an Impression that some things may he too cheap that I can not llnd myself In lull sympathy with this demand ror cheaper coats, which seem to me necessarily to Involve a cheaper man and woman under the coat. I believe It Is true today that we have many tilings In tills country that arc too cheap, because whenever it Is proved that the man or woman who produces any article cannot get a decent living out of It, then II. Is too cheap." "I would rather lit) William O'Brien in Tullamorejali, a martyr of free speech, than the Lord Lieutenant or Ireland In Dublin Castle."[General Harrison, In 1H77, at the Esmonde and O'Connor reception, Indianapolis.

I'.nglisli Interest, ill tlie Itesult. The electioneering campaign In America ought to lie most Interesting to the English people for historical, political, philosophical and economic reasons. The main nuestlon at issue Is English free trade against the continental system of protection. The Republic Is on trial. Hood, conservative government, under Cleveland, Is opposed by the rule and ruin party of Blaine, whose friends nominated Harrison, and who would certainly lie the secretary or state under a Harrison administration. Tims the American people are directly Involve,! In the contest through their pockets, which will lie affected by the tarllf, and their future, which would lie seriously inlluenced by the restoration to power of such a lire-brand as Blaine, with Ins home-rule sympathies and antlCanadlaii policy. The American election Is Inllnitely more Important to Englishmen than their own internal politics just at tills Juncture, and they should observe every phase of the campaign alosely and understanding!)', it Is from tills point of view that the copious dispatches to the Sunday Times are cabled. The result or the American election will help to decide many Important Issues In (ireat Britain.-[London Sunday Times, July in, INKH.

Perhaps that Democratic Railroad men's club litis pone to join the John Lamb tariiT clubs of 188-1.

The 1 ndianapolis News thus confers a favor on the public: It should be settled right now, whether his name Is pronounced "llove-y" or "Huv-y." We give a valuable tip: It Is pronounced "Iluv-y." 15y the way, the pronunciation of another name so often usen now-a-days is (Jar- niiygoe.

If we remember rightly, the late Democratic state convention sat down on t!reen Smith very hard so hard indeed that it was a day or two before he could "squeal" and curse the iuRrntes. Green Smith is the rutlian who usurped Colonel Robertson's seat, as president of the senate and the state convention repudiated him when he asked tor the nomination of attorney general.

The Democratic protectionists in Hreckinridge's Kentucky district have decided to oppose that gentleman's return to congress, where, as a member of the ways and means committee, he has been an extreme free trader. The Courier.lournal cannot "believe its eyes," and wants further proof that the distinguished gentleman selected as the opposing candidate will lend himself to such a diabolical scheme.

The political situation in New York is very gratifying to Republicans. Since the Chicago convention complete harmony of the party in that state has been secured. The Democracy, on the other hanil, is on the verge of disintegration.

The tariff is the whole cause of it andaB a result the betting that began two to one on Cleveland carrying the state is now six to five that Harrison will have New York's electoral vote. This is the average of the odds as recorded by the bookmakers in the past few days but by the time the full effect of the Blaine affair is felt the odds will be two to one.

TWO CANDIDATES.

A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun intervieved Matson who, it waB said, "is resting himself at the West End hotel at Long Branch," and learned that the Democratic candidate for governor will enter the campaign as soon as he can "get away from his arduous duties at Washington," which statement, coming from Long Branch, is rather paraadoxical. The Democratic candidate went to Long Branch a week ago with a fevr boon companions, national loafers who have a particular liking for Washington and the. seaside resorts. In the meantime Matson's friend, Speaker Carlisle, refuses to call a meeting of the committee on rules that the resolution introduced by Mr. Johnston may be acted upon. This resolution is to fix a day for the consideration of the Matson pension bill, a measure reported by the Democratic candidate. Matson never intended to push the bill to a passage he meant it for buncombe to catch soldier votes.

Now, while Ilovey is daily at his post, unable by reason of being on the minority side of the house, to secure proper consideration for pension measures, Matson, his opponent, who by reason of his position as chairman of the pension committee is the leader of the Democratic majority in this branch of legislation, is with a lot of hale fellows well-met at a summer resort. His zeal in behalf of the soldier is but vote deep.

VICTORIOUS IN DEFEAT,

Our Democratic friends are pleased to reiterate the statement that General Harrison has never led a victorious fight for his party in this

Btate,

and refer to

the elections of 187G and 188G as proof of the statement. While it is true that in those years the .Democracy secured the fruits of victory both campaigns afforded the best possible proof of Gen eral Harrison's strength with the people and his admirable party fealty.

In 1876 he was called upon to take the nomination for governor after Mr. Orth had withdrawn. The campaign was well underway and the change in leader necessarily meant a change in the plan of campaign. It was a forlorn race, especially as by that time it was known that Tilden and Barnum had determined to buy "mules" in the state. Few men would have entered the contest with the calamity of defeat ahead. Wary politicians don't do such things but Ben Harrison's love of party was stronger than his personal ambition and in spite of all the handicap influences he ran ahead of bis ticket. It was a great victory for him and his party remembered him for what he did that year.

In J880 there seemed to be no hope of electing a Republican majority in the legislature to re-elect General Harrison as United States senator. The districts hail been gerrymandered so that on the basis of the 1881 vote the Democrats would have had nearly sixty majority on joint ballot. Mr. Voorhees said that if the result of the election was less than forty-live majority he would consider it "a personal disgrace." Another than Harrison, a wary politician, would have played the role of martyr to the Democratic gerrymander, and thereby 6eek to enhance his personal prominence in the party. Not so with our leader. He went into the light to win, and in fact did win. Instead of the forty-five majority the Democrats claimed but two. The Republican majority in the state on the legislative vote, however, was nearly iri.OQO, which should be put down opposite the name of Harrison.

No other public man can show such leadership in hopeless contests. Indeed, the average public man doesn't go into such lights. He waits until he sees the tight ready to be won and then bravely steps to the front. On the whole we like lieu Harrison for these two defeats in Indiana.

WAGES IN HOLLAND.

A Free Trade Country Where Starvation Wages Rule. A royal commission was lately appointed in Holland to inquire into the condition of the working classes in that country.

They report that bakers work from fourteen to sixteen hours on a stretch and sometimes have to work from twenty-four to twenty-six hours. Diamond cutters, of whom there are about 5,000, nearly all Jews, work twelve hours and earn from $17.43 to $21.47 a week. In the linen trade the commission states the wages may be taken aa 4 cents per hour for men, 3 cents for women and 2 cents for children bakers, 4 cents paper-makers, 5 cents sugar refiners, cents printers, 7 to 12 cents, and engravers, 10 cents per hour. Ordinary workers get cents an hour on the average, or S3.G0 a week, allowing ten hours a day.

As a consequence, in Amsterdam alone 4,000 children do not attend school, and the average persons unable to read and write is 10 per cent., against 2 per cent, in Germany.

Holland is a free trade country, and it is not necessary to predict that those who quote the fact that wages are higher in free trade England than in protection Germany, and fail at the same time to mention that wages are rising in Germany and falling in England, will not know of the rate of wages in Holland any more than they have heard of the rate of wages in Belgium.

The Seventieth Indiana Reunion. Indications point to the attendance of 20,000 people on the occasion of the Seventieth Indiana reunion at Clayton, September 13, the people for miles around determining to be there because General Harrison is expected to be present. While the good people of Clayton, which is a little village, are most hospitable, they recognize the futility of attempting to feed such an immense multitude, and already the word has gone out that it will be a "basket picnic" affair, in which the visitors, as a rule, will be expected to bring their own supplies. There is plenty of room in the beautiful grove selected for a million people.

Hie Whisky Tru9t.

The congressional investigation of the whisky trust has been closed, and some interesting facts brought out. The trust controls a present production of 40,000,000 gallons of spirits per annum, only 15 per cent, of which is used as a beverage, while 8,000,000 gallons are used in the arts and the remainder in manufactures and "wine fortification," whatever that may be.

THE HARP00NER.

The ship moved on in silence through the tranquil waves of the North Pacific —the old Artie, the lucky ship of the whaling fleet. She was built more for stowage than speed, with bluff bows, and could lay away more oil in her hold than most ships of her class. She was noted on all sides as a vessel which could find and strike whales when others were unlucky.

The sailors used to say that they would Booner be before the mast-in the old Arctic than mate of another whaler, because they could make more money.

A man was standing near the forecastle, Bhading his eyes with his hand and peering out ahead. He was tall and Btrongly built, his face marked by the tattooing instruments in use in the north seas. Yet he was an American, and had the air of a model sailor, as indeed he waB—Nat Myers, harpooner in the captain's boat and king of the forecastle. No man of all the crew had more influence, but it was not the influence of fear, for the men loved him. With the strength of an ox, he had the calm, even temper so often seen in men of giant build, as if, knowing his strength, he would not use it against his weaker brethren.

Standing upon the forecastle by his side was a boy about 12 years of age—a beautiful lad, with brown, curling hair, sunny blue eyes, and delicate face. "How do you feel since you have been in the Pacific?" said Nat. "I get stronger every day." "You've been coddled too much, and swallered too much candy and Bech truck. Once let me git you so you can eat salt horse like a man and you are all right.''

Georgie Betts was the captain's nephew, and the doctors had said that the only thing which would save his life was a sea voyage, and they gave him in charge of Captain Jacobs. That worthy passed him over to Nat Meyers. "Take care of him, Nat," he said.

At first Georgie fairly hated the old salt, who forced him to eat salt pork and bolt tough corned beef, dignified by the name of "salt horse" and "mahogany," when it was almost impossible for him to eat. He complained to his uncle, who grimly said that he had nothing to do with the matter. "But he'll kill me, uncle!" "No, he won't, my boy. He'll make a man of you."

As the days went on and Georgie grew more accustomed to life on board ship, he really began to like his tormentor. He had gained so much strength that he could run up the rigging like a cat, and the smartest men on the ship could not catch him when he was once on the ratlins. And by the time they had passed the Sandwich Islands, although a delicate-looking boy, he was stronger than he had ever been in his life. "Lookee, here—we are going to have the biggest storm you ever see." "Pshaw! There never was a fairer day." "Lookee, my son,'' said Nat, in a threatening manner. 'Member what I told ye about conterdicting me?"

Three hours later, when the first mate had the deck, and Nat was standing on the top-gallant forecastle, with Georgie by his side, the squall burst upon them with sudden fury. The first wave which came aboard crushed in the rail and swept the decks, and Georgie Betts waa carried out into the boiling ocean.

It was broad daylight, and Nat, with a cry like that of a wild beast robbed of her young, hurled himself over the rail, holding in hiB hand a light plank, the only thing which he could Beize. They saw him rising on the top of a great wave, and then Georgie Betts came into view beyond him, struggling for his life. "Bear up, my lad," they heard him cry through the roar ofr the tempest. "Old Nat is coming."

The boy, who, slight as he was, was a strong swimmer, tossed his head in the air as a signal that he heard.

The crew of the Arctic could do nothing, for it required all their strength and skill to save the ship. A dozen voices together volunteered to man a boat. "No, lads, "said the captain, sadly. "No man can love his neighbor better than I do mine. I will not risk half a dozen lives for two. Besides, the ship would run a boat out of sight in half an hour, even if we could lower one. Bear a hand on the braces—meet her, meet her, you at the wheel don't let her fall off!"

And the Arctic sped on before the awful gale, leaving Nat Myers and Georgie Betts at the mercy of the angry sea. The old sailor struggled on, and at last, with a cry of joy, he saw the boy clutch the end of the board. "That's right, my son," he said. "Cheerily, cheerily, lad!" "The ship is away," said Georgie, sadly, as he saw the Arctic rush on before the wind. "Never you mind, sonny," and he passed his arm about the lad, and, stripping of his belt, raised the boy so that he lay upon the board and then bound him to it, face down, but in such a position that he could raise himself a foot or more from the board. He was Bwimming beside the board, pushing it before him. "Why don't you get on the board, Nat?" said Georgie, uneasily. "Never you mind me," replied Nat "I'm all right, you Bee."

But, although he spoke so bravely, he felt in his heart that he had maae his last voyage. The weight of hie heavy sea clothing was dragging him down, and he knew that the board would not bear them both. "I'll die for him," he thought. "It may not save him, but I can do that." lie shifted his hold on the board, and moved up until his face was close to that of Georgie Betts. "Kiss me, lad," he said, "and if you escape don't forget old Nat Myers."

The boy raised his head and pressed his lips to those of the old sailor. "I love you, Nat," he said.

Then Nat Myers, with a smile upon his face, fell back to his old position. Once Georgie spoke to him, and he answered. The storm had ceased, but the waves were running high, and an hour had passed on. Then a league distant Georgia Betts saw the white Bails of the Arctic returning in search of those she had lost. With a glad cry the boy turned his head to look back at Nat, but the sea was a blank. That brave man had died in silence sooner than bear down the frail support of the boy he loved and the children of Georgie Betts love the memory of that brave old sailor who died for their father's sake.—[New York News.
