THE MILLS BILL-FREE TRADE.

It Is evident Irom the events ol the past few weeks that the progress towards Tree trade In the Cnlted States lias been much greater than was generally expected. However much the manufacturing Interests may deny It. the fact Is patent that great progress has been made on the road toward absolute free trade, and particularly has this been the case since the date of the delivery or the president's message. Our Iron and steel manufacturers look with very much Interest on the movement which is now going on "on the otli-r side," for trade there so ultimately InMuences our own. Loudon Iron and Coal Trades Review. July 21,1S8.

The tarill bill In the I'nlted States has passed the house of representatives by 101 to 14) '.votes. The bulk of the people are beginning to set their backs up at paying thro' the nose Tor their Iron and steel and other commodities. As It stands now the statesrare decidedly going lor free trade, and this will be the Democratic cry at the next election. London Iron Trade Circular. July 2S, 1HHS.

Tiie president feels compelled to characterize the attempt to brand him as a free trader as deception, but lor all that the electoral conflict now in progress Is a conflict between free trade and protection and nothing else.—| London News. July li. iws.

It Is certain that the arguments which President Cleveland urges are those which Cobden used to employ rorty-tlve years ago, and which any English tree trailer would employ now.—| London Times, July (i, lSt*f\

The Mills bill puts on the free list articles which last year paid duties amounting to nearly $20,000.000. it Is therelorejplain that It declares for: jc Free trade in lumber, which we produce to the value or $:i(Xi.(H*i,(WU annually. l-'rif trade In wool, of which we produce over :«XUK*UXW pounds annually.

Free trade In salt, of which we produce nearly •Ill.iW.lXKl bushels annually. Free trade in llax. hemp, jute and other fibers.

Free trade In potash, lime and brick. Free trade In meats, game and poultry. Free trade in vegetables, peas and beans. Free trade in marble and stone.

WHAT HARRISON THINKS.

••J think our worklngmen will wake up to the ract that reduction In their wages, which every candid advocate or rree trade or revenue reform admits must come with the adoption of theo­

ries-a

reduction variously estimated at from 10 to 2S per cent.-is poorly compensated by the

cheap coat he Is promised. This bull-ln-the-Chlna-ahop sort of work that our Democratic friends want to make of the tariff will not do."

In an address made in Chicago in March of this year he said: "I am one of those unlnstructed political economists that have an Impression ihat some things

may

be too cheap that lean not find myself In full sympathy with this demand for cheaper coats, which seem to me necessarily to Involve a cheaper man and woman under the coat I believe It Is true to-day that we have many things In this country that are 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 it Is too cheap.''

"I would rather be William O'Brien In Tullamorejall, a martyr of free speech, than the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland In Dublin Castle."I (ieneral Harrison, In 1877, at the Ksinonde and O'Connor reception. Indianapolis.

THE 7 PER CENT. FALLACY.

General Harrison punctured the per cent, fallacy when he said: Do not allow tiny one to persuade you that this great contest as to our tariff policy is one between schedules. It Is not a question of 7 per cent, reuctlon. It Is a question between wlde-apart principles. The principle of protection: the intelligent recognition In the framing of our tariff laws, of the duty to protect our American Industries and maintain the American scale of wages by adequate discriminating duties, on the one hand, and on the other, a denial of the constitutional right to make our customs duties protective, on the assertion of the doctrine that free competition with foreign products Is the Ideal condition to which all our legislation should tend.

"General Harrison has nothing in his record that Bhould prevent any Republic in worklngman from voting for him- I regard the nomination as a strong one, and know his friendly attitude toward organized labor."—Chief Arthur, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers.

What's the matter with Vermont, did you say?

What's the matter with the mail service? Oh, it's all wrong.

The "flops" of Democratic workingmen to the Republican platform fire made by tariff tumblers.

There is indefinite and vague information that Mr. John E. Lamb is out in this district somewhere, looking after Brookshire's fences. The Democratic vote fenced otf in this district for Mr. Tjamb broke through and got scattered in 1880, and he

would

not have a guileless

youth like the Montgomery lad suffer the same fate.

There's a rumor that Mr. Cleveland had constructed his letter of acceptance on the basis that there was an immense surplus, "a condition," as it were, but the fact that his administration had expended that surplus (the one that he wrote about last December), compells 11iin to build anew and he is not agile in his movements.

A package of documents from Congressman Johnston was received here this week in a condition showing that the envelopes bad been opened and resented in a way that gave sulljcient proof that the inquisitive mail clerks wore physical phenomena, in this, that their lingers were all thumbs. A more bungling job was never perpetrated.

Two months from to-day will witness the passing away of Cleveland. We have no idea that the Democratic party will then disappear. It likes to be a reminder ot failure that's what it has been liore for many years. It never led an advance movement it is on record as opposed to all the steps forward taken by this land of the free and home of the brave.

An honest, fair election and count of the vote in Arkansas on Monday would have snowed uuder the ignorance and prejudice of Democracy that in all these years have kept the state at the foot of the list. There is a greater percentage of illiteracy in Arkansas than any other state of the Union, but the day is dawning when it will respond to industry and intelligence and give its electoral vote for the Republican candidate for president.

The fact that ex-Governor Foster, of Ohio, was with General Hen Harrison at Middle Bass Island, and the further fact that Foster left for New York, gave rise to a report that the latter had carried to New York General Harrison's letter of acceptance to be submitted to some one there. This story is much like others of the season when campaign imaginations are at their best, because it is wholly untrue. General Harrison does not write anything he is not willing to stand by his speeches would remove any doubt on that score except in the mind of some fool correspondent who was hoping for space allowance for his special on the ground that a fellow fool editor would print it. Of course, the report has been denied but, confidentially, if General Ben Harrison of Indiana wauts to take any Ohio man into his conlidence Foster is the very best man of all of them, lie is a peculiar product of that state, lie doesn't want the rest of the earth and doesn't tell what he knows and he knows a great deal, lie is a hard-headed, long-sighted aud common-sense sort of man who has had lots of experience in national politics, New York tinancial affairs and above all in the daily vocations of the people in the great West. So, after all, it wouldn't have been bad policy for Indiana's Ben to have talked with Ohio's Charley about that letter.

When Oliver Payne, morally convicted of using thousands of dollars of Standard oil money to buy a seat for his father in the I'nited States senate llockefeller, fifty times a millionaire, president of the Standard Oil company Brice, who suddenly acquired millions in wrecking railroads in a way to make Snni Tildenturn in his grave with envy Barnum, the cold Connecticut speculator in all things, human aud inanimate, ten times a millionaire Gorman, the prince of those whose great riches are derived through the blackmail of political influence: Gould, Bill Scott, of

the anthracite coal pool—when these bad specimens of American shoddyitee, none made rich, by the way, in any tariff protected industry, join the civil service reformer, Cleveland, in swelling the campaign fund of the old rock and rye party to limits never before reached, all doing so in the hope of favors to come, we are reminded of that paragraph in the letter of acceptance of the nomination for president written by Grover Cleveland four years ago:

When we consider the patronage of this great ofllce. the allurements of power, the temptation to retain public place, once gained, and, more than all, the availability a party finds in an incumbent whom a horde of officeholders, with a zeal born of benefits received and fostered by the hope of favors yet to come, stand ready to aid with money and trained political service, we recognize In the eligibility of the president for re-election a most serious danger to that calm, deliberate and Intelligent action which must characterize government by the people.

THE QUESTION OF THE HOUR.

We don't believe there is any one who doubts the statement that the Express, from the day in last December when Mr. Cleveland sent to congress his free trade message, has constantly insisted that the welfare of this country for the next four years, so far as the election of a president and congress can affect it, iB this year to be decided by the wageearners. In other countries there may be as many men who earn their bread by the sweat of their face, but nowhere have these bread-winners such controlling voice in the affairs of government as in the United I States. They are the vast majority.

Truq£s, pools, combines, monopolies of all sorts that by the schemes and avarice of their projectors for a time may hold sway can be swept away as by a cyclone when these wage-earners so ordain. The wealth of this country is not with the rich, but with those who make wealth. The true estimate of prosperity is in the general condition of the people, and of the people the wage-earners are in the majority. By industry we thrive, and the question of the year is whether the industrious many are to yield to the ideas of those whose teaching has been that the few shall be aristocrats, while the many slave, not as when the few were literally slave owners, perhaps, but nevertheless with the few arbitrarily fixing the wages and condition of the many.

In General Harrison's speech at Ft. Wayne, we find complete sympathy with the Express' idea, as to the effect of this tariff legislation on that great majority of our people, the workingmen, and we reproduce what appeared in the telegraphic columns of yesterday's Express:

I think It Is universally conceded by Democrats t.s well as Republicans, that the questions Involved In this campaign do have a very direct bearing upon the national prosperity and upon the prosperity and welfare of the Individual citizen. 1 think It Is conceded that the result of this election will afreet beneficently our great manufacturing Interests, ami will allect for weal or ror woe the workingmen and worklngwomen who fill these busy hives or Industry. [Applause. This much Is conceded. I do not Intend to-day to argue the question In any detail. I want to call your attention to a rew general facts and principles, and the llrst one-the one I never tire ot mentioning—the one deem so Important that I do not shun the charge that I am repeating myself, Is this: That the condition of the wageworkers of America Is better than that of the wageworkers of any other country In the world. Applause. Now, If that he true It Is Important that you should each find out whyIt Is so that eaceone or you should determine for himself what effect a protective tariff lias had and Is likely to have on his wages and his prosperity. Does it need to be demonstrated that If we reduce our tariff to a revenue level, If we abolish from It every consideration of protection, moregoods will come In from abroad than come In now? And what is the necessary effect? It Is the transfer to torelgn shops of work that you need here It Is to diminish American protection and Increase English production. That Is to be the effect of It.

THE TERRE HAtJTE EXPRESS, THURSDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER

STRAY INFORMATION.

There are many persons who are, perhaps, ignorant of the location of. .the boiler room where the Bteam supply to heat the new court house is Becured. It is situated south of the court house building almost in the rear of the old bank building on Ohio street. Engineer Mattox was putting on a pair of overalls as a reporter descended the long stairway to the floor of the room. He explained that the boilers were being repaired for this winter. They will be set forward about two feet. Heretofore there was a space of only nine inches in the rear in which to turn the flame, back through the flues. This space when the change is made will be 22 inches. Mr. Mattox has dug out a combustion chamber under each boiler. At the back of the grates an apron wall will be built within about 10 inches of the boiler. Mr. Mattox is of the opinion that the combustion chamber will materially assist in the consumption of smoke. Last winter a flame could not be gotten through the flues except by very heavy firing and then heavy masses of black smoke rolled out of the stack. The combustion was very poor and this winter Mr. Mattox predicts much less than four-fifthB of the amount of coal will be necessary to keep up steam. With the combustion •chambers, repairs on the grates and in the rear, a decided change is expected.

Mr. Mattox has placed a wooden boxing around the return pipe from the court house. It lies on the bottom of the four-foot tunnel connecting the engine room and the building. The box will be tilled with sawdust to retain the heat. The large steam pipe suspended from the top of the tunnel will be covered with asbestos. The sawdust packing for the lower pipe is much cheaper and answers the purpose quite as well.

The streets and bridges committee of the city council went down to Cincinnati to learn a few points concerning the paving of streets. The committee will probably continue the junket to Chicago and possibly other places. It is questionable if the trip will be of any practical value to the city of Terre Haute. D. D. FiBher brought down the house at the recent council meeting. Arising from a seat in the rear he addressed Mayor Kolsem and said he desired to ask a question, why it is that the streetB and bridges committee could take a junket to Cincinnati and spend several hundred dollars when the city treasury was bankrupt. Fisher had made his point, every one laughed and the speaker yielded the floor. But the best joke is on Jerry O'Sullivan. lie went to Cincinnati in place of Dr. WeinBtein, and the two other members of the committee returned to Indianapolis without him. They reached home in advance of the Fourth ward councilman and gave it out that they had lost him in Cincinnati, and had inspected streets in Indianapolis without him.

If one were to remain in the county clerk's office and witness the granting of marriage licenses he would no doubt grow fat if there is any truth in the old adage that laughter produce corpulency. There are some very amusing incidents and now and then some things find their way upon record which are not in Btrict sccordance with the rules of grammar and orthography. Yesterday on one of the license blanks was pasted a page front a memorandum book and upon it was written an order to the clerk to issue the license. The writing was in pencil and the order was unique and original. The date was first given, then the name of the bride, then the words: "Mr. you pleas lett her have the lisons." The name of the groom was next given and his mother signed the following: ^"her consent to the marrey of the bride's name being given.

Mayor Kolsem said yesterday that he was misquoted when he was credited as saying that the new police department building could be built for S000 lees than the §0,000 estimate made by the city engineer. He said he thought it would be at least $500 more, and he added that the ultimate cost would be in the neighborhood of $10,000. This will include all the work, such as putting in heating apparatus, which will necessitate making many changes in the Friendly Inn building or old station house. There will be more work to be done than many would suppose to erect the building.

The other morning the oflicers at police headquarters decided on a scrubbing. A force of men was secured from the rock pile delegation and put to work. Among them was John Joyce. He complained of being sick and was not asked to do any work. He took a favorable opportunity and skipped out. He was missed and word was sent to the different districts. Several hours later Joyce was detected in Sibleytown and returned to the rock pile. He is the first prisoner that has escaped for a long time.

HOWTOBS NATURALIZED.

Conditions oil Which Foreign-Horn Persons May Become Citizens, Foreign-born persons who desire to become naturalized will find this digest of the naturalization laws a convenient form of reference:

Each person desiring to become naturalized must swear that he will support the constitution of the United States and renounce and relinquish any title or order of nobility to which he now is or hereafter may be entitled, and must absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure ail allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state or soveignty whatever, and particularly to the government of the country to which he was before a subject. He must also have the following qualifications:

He must have resided within the jurisdiction of the United States for at least five years.

He must have declared his intention (first papers) to become a citizen at least two years previous to his application for naturalization papers.

He must have resided in the state for at least one year. Upon application in court to become a citizen he must produce a qualified elector to prove the foregoing qualifications.

He must be naturalized at least one month before he can vote. Persons of foreign birth arriving in the United States, when under the age of 18, need not declare intentions (first papers,) but can become citizens without such papers after being of age and residents of the United States for at least five years, and of the state one year. The fact to be proved by a qualified elector.

Naturalized citizens tn become qualified electors must comply the same as native-born electors as to residence and taxes.

The foreign-born son of a naturalized citizen can vote on his father's papers, where the father was naturalized before the son became of age but if the son has arrived at the age of 21 before the father was naturalized, then the son must become a citizen in the same manner as other foreign-born persons.

Every male citizen 21 years of age, possessing the following qualifications, shall be entitled to vote at all elections: 1. He shall have been a citizen of the United States one month. 2. He shall have resided in the state one year or if having previously been a qualified elector or native born «tizen theroof, and shall have removed therefrom and returned, then he shall have resided therein six months immediately proceeding the election. 3. He shall have resided in the district where he intends to vote two months immediately preceding thj^lection, instead of ten days, as heretofore. A residence is neither lost nor gained by being left in any poor house, or while confined in prison. 4. If 22 years of age or upward, he shall have paid, within two years, a state or county tax, which shall have been assessed at least two months previous to the election, and paid at least one month previous to the same.

The election will be held on Tuesday, November 0th. Polls open at 7 a. m. and closed at 7 p. m.

A KNOW-NOTHING (HKSTXUT.

General Harrison Was or ill Sympathy With the Movement. General Harrison, the present Republican candidate for president, Is a son of J. S. Harrison, and history records the fact that the same J. S. was elected to congre oil the Know-Nothing ticket, and Ben was very ardent In the support ol his Know-Nothing parent at the time. This, we take it. Is sulllcleiit proof that Hen was a member of that organization, and Ills public acts since that time go to show that he still alliliates with what Is known as the American party.—| Mercer County Standard.

It is unaccountable that the Standard persists in repeating this story without offering a shred or pretense of authority to support it. J. Scott Harrison was elected to congress from Cleves, O., in 185G. Ben Harrison settled in Indianapolis in 1851, when but nineteen years old. In 18.15, a year before he was of voting age himself he took the stump for his partner, William Wallace,Republican candidate for county clerk. The following year he was making speeches for General Fremont, his Republicanism dating from the very origin of that party, even before he was himself a voter, and continuing without break to the present moment. At the very time that he is alleged to have been making Know-Noth-ing speeches at Cincinnati for J. Scott Harrison, he was neither in the state nor party, but actually making Republican speeches in a neighboriug state. The assertion of the Standard that "General Harrison's public acts since that time go to show that he still affiliates with the Know-Nothing party" is a meaner lie than the other. That was simply borrowed this manufactured in the Standard office.—[Cincinnati Times-Star.

How to Get Ricli.

Live up to your engagements. Karn money before you spend it. Never play at any game of chance. Drink no kind of intoxicating liquor. Good character is above all things else.

Keep your own secrets if you have any. Never borrow if you can possibly avoid it.

Keep good company or none. Never be idle. Keep yourself innocent if you would be happy.

When you speak to a person look l.im in the face. Make no haste to bo rich if you would prosper.

Always speak the truth. Maka few promises. Do not marry until you are ablo to Bupporta wife.

Save when you are young to spend when you are old. Ever live (misfortuneexcopted) within your income.

Avoid temptation, through fear you may not withstand it. Good company and good conversation are the sinews of virtue.

Never speak ill of any one. Be just before you are generous. Never run into debt, unless you see plainly a way to get out again.

Small and steady gains give competency with tranquility of mind. Your character cannot be successfully injured except by your own ai ts.

If any one speaks evil of you, let your fife be so that no one will believe him.
