(ienenil Harrison is all right on tnisie. So is tin* )|iil!ienn senate, as will le smin ly the Washington report this morning.
While our I )omocratic frieriits are talking about, free whisky let them first consider where they stand. In 1S8-1 and ISSS they declared, as they have in all their state platrorms, against "sumptuary" laws. In the Mills bill is to be found the section which is for free whisky, pure and simple?
Section 10. That all clauses of section 241 of the Revised statutes, ami all laws amendatory thereof, and all other laws which Impose any special taxes upon manufacturers of stills, retail dealers In liquors, and retail dealers in malt liquors, are hereby repealed.
This has been a good year for Republicans. Kirst wo had the Mills bill, then iu order, the regon election, Cleveland ami Tluirnian farce convention at St. Louis, nomination of Harrison, Vermont election, Cleveland's letter, Maine election and, capping the climax, Harrison's letter. There are no more state elections until the date of the national election November fith. The way the story will end is now foreseen. The only thing that can prevent it is ovor-conti-dence among Republicans.
An anonymous writer, whose reason for keeping Ills Identity concealed Is obvious, seeks by Innuendo to assert that the (iazette is an apologist for the defender of the Standard Oil trust the sugar trust and the whisky trust This Is so plainly false-proven so by columns of criticism of these and all trusts, whose champion James (i. Blaine Is—that it Is amazing anyone could haw the effrontery even anonymously to make a statement so false and foolish.—I (iazette.
The (ia/.ette certainly is an apologist for the sugar trust, when it advocates the Mills bili, which protects this trust. The Standard Oil trust is represented in Mr. Cleveland's cabinet, and the whisky trust is a Democratic institution. Let the (iazette now be frank, and admit that it has never criticised Secretary Whitney or the deal between the sugar trust and the Mills people.
The (iazette has a convenient way of alluding to tiould, trusts, etc., but it knows that most of them are of Democratic affiliation. It must know, for instance. that Jay Could supplied money for the election of Democratic members of the legislature in this state in ISSt.
The "tariff reformer" can't stand on the platform of Mr. Cleveland and make a respectble appearance. Mr. Cleveland may think he can make an argument against the principle of protection and at the same time deny that he is a free trader but no one will believe him. The Chicago Herald, the Democratic ogan of the northwest, under the heading "Xo disguise about it," says:
The lVimwitic i«arty Is not now tor the tirst time In its eareer antagonizing tarilt roblwrs. It always has been opposed to class privilege.
always has been for freedom of trade. It was for ••free trade and sailors' rights" seventy-five years ago, and It went to war with Great Britain on that cry.
The Democratic party will be false to its creed, to Its traditions, and to its charity if It .use In Its great work of reform until every class privilege bolstered up under the tariff has been destroyed. Protection Is wrong in Itself, It Is unconstitutional. There must be a tariff, for revenue, but there must not be protection—that Is, the taxation of the many for the few—and the Democratic party is the only organization which can sweep away tills monstrous error.
GENERAL HARRISON'S LETTER.
Comment on General Harrison's letter is superfluous. It needs no commendation by any Republican newspaper or Republican voter. The only thing it does need is to be put into the hands of ever voter in the United States. While his speeches have been of great advantage to the Republican cause this year, the letter is worth thousands of
votes if properly distributed. It is the exposition of Republican ideas on the issues of the year as no other man could give expression to them.
On the tariff, pensions, trusts and all the leading issues, it is plain and convincing. Following so closely, as it does, the Cleveland letter, it completely exposes the theorizing of that tyro in pub
lic affairs. Read it. The Express believes that it should be read by everyone and intends to make such frequent publication of it in full and in part that no one within this locality shall fail of aa opportunity to learn exactly where the Republican party stands in this campaign.
ONCE MORE WITH THE BRITISHERS. The Hoglieh press, which felt so greatly interested in Mr. Cleveland's continuance in office after he had sent his free trade message to congress last December that it bestowed lavish praise on him, has hardly recovered from the shock caused by the retaliation message. When this latter document was made public the London newspapers could not conceal their doubt as to the manner of man who had given evidence of his friendship for their interests and finally concluded that the message was merely for buncombe, a feature of American politics.
The letter of acceptance was a message of relief to them. The News says it is "gratifying" that the president did not wish to make retaliation a plank of his platform. The Chronicle's "gratification" leads it to further expression of renewed good feeling with the president, til though it is not very tolerant with the denial of free trade purposes. The Chronicle says:
The exclusion of the fisheries question from the letter of acceptance of President Cleveland Is strong testimony as to the purely factious character of the rejection of the treaty. It is utterly Impossible to doubt that the re-election of President Cleveland could mean the eventful revival and ratification of the treaty. It Is Immaterial to discuss what President Cleveland's crusade should lie called. He may give it any name lie llsjes. as long as we know It Is In fact a crusade of free trade.

THE WORLD OF WORKERS.
A new enterprise at Warren, Ohio, is the Winfield Manufacturing company, with $50,000 capital. They will make sheet metal goods.
On Wednesday last an order was re ceived at the Aitoona shops for twentyone class R. locomotives, which insures steady work ahead for two months.
Allen Crosby claims to have beaten the record on consecutive days' work in shoemaking in Chicago. He has not missed half a day from the bench since May, 1881.
The Lawrence Furnace company, of Ironton, Ohio, proposes to build a 30ton furnace in the vicinity of their present idle charcoal furnace of Culbertson, Lawrence county.
The entire property of the Sheffield Land, Iron and Coal company, Sheffield, Ala., has been sold to eastern parties for $1,750,000 or §2,000,000, about half of which is to be in cash.
The Reeves Iron company, of Canal Dover, Ala., signed the Amalgamated scale last week, and have resumed operations. The concern is a small one, giving employment to about 100 men.
There is said to be so strong a feeling against the employment of old men in the carpenter business that carpenters of 50 years of age or more looked forward to being idle more than half the time.
The capacity of Lookout rolling mill, at Chattanooga, Tennessee, is to be increased so that iron bars of 130 feet in length can be turned out. Ten years ago the same mill ran a bar ten feet long, but now it is so arranged that the cost of running one hundred feet is no more than running thirty feet.
The American Nail Machine Works company, of Ashtabula, will move their establishment to Pindlay, and have let the contract for their new buildings, which are to be large and commodious, and must be finished by November. These works will give employment at at the start to 150 skilled workmen.
The North Chicago Rolling Mill company has decided to erect brick hotblast stoves at its Bay View, Wisconsin, blast .furnaces. The work will call for an outlay of upward of S"5,000 in money. The work will be begun at once. It is expected these stoves will increase the output of pig iron from 40 to 50 per cent., while causing a great saving in fuel.
It is reliably reported that the Jackson Iron company, of Cleveland, Ohio, have definitely decided to remove their furnaces from Fayette, Mich., to some point where the difficulty in obtaining fuel will not be so great. As the company's ore mines are located at Negaunee, Mich., it is the impression that the furnaces will be removed to that point, although the matter has not been definitely settled as yet.
The Findlay Rolling Mill company, of Findlay, who also own and operate the works of the Brooks Iron and Tool company at the same place, have just purchased the works of the Sterling Chain company, at Cuyahoga Falls, O., and will remove them to Findlay at once, and get them into shape to make chains by August 15. The works will have a capacity of ten tons per day and will employ between eighty and ninety men.
A piece of 12x12 lumber 54 feet in length is rather above the average, but a piece 4x12, 80 feet long, is considerably so. According to the Chico Record, both lengths are to be seen in the lumber, just received at the Normal school building. The lumber came from Washington Territory, and was sawed expressly for this building. The longer piece extends nearly the length of three Hat cars, a and is as "pretty"!|a piece of lumber ns ever came to Chico.
One of the most important new enterprises is that of D. M. Sechler Carriage company, formerly of Cincinnati, who have built an extensive plant at Moline, III. Their building, which is a large four-story brick structure, is completed, and they are now setting their engine and placing their machinery preparatory to starting up within a few weeks. The works of this company are said to be the largest original plant ever started in Moline.
Railroad conductors get a great deal of medical information, and the understanding of many helpful little schemesin the course of along year's run. Many of the conductors, who, among the manyother ills and ailings of their passengers, have found that a particle of dirt or cinder to be of the most frequent and painful, carry with them a supply of horse hair. Their experience makes them experts in doubling the hair and drawing it over the eye while the lid is closed.
It has been decided by the Pennsylvania compnny to begin immediately the erection of five mammoth shops in Aitoona, at a cost of 8500,000. The shops will have a capacity to build 150 locomotives a year and will give employment to 1,000 machinists. This means a gain to Altoona's population of at least 10,000. Their shops are to be built in such a way as to admit of additions at any time and are a part of the plan of the Pennsylvania system to concentrate all their engine and car building at one central point.
The lirtt full cargo of iron ever shipped north, says the Atlanta Constitution, was carried out last Thursday from Savannah, loaded for Philadelphia, on the new freight steamship City of Birmingham, of the Ocean Steamship line. The iron came from Birmingham, via the Central railroad of Georgia, and indicates the growth of the new industry in the South. The cargo consisted of 121 car loads, er 2,072 tons of pig metal, and the steamer went out drawing 1(3 feet 8 inches mean draft. After discharging her cargo at Philadelphia the Birmingham will go to New York and load railroad iron for Savannah.
Not improved workmanship, but rapidity is the distinguishing feature of the mechanical arts and trades nowadays. An instance of this was noticeable in the experience of a lady who went into an umbrella maker's store lfist week and asked for an umbrella of peculiar size and make, which she wanted to tHkewith her at once to Liverpool. The dealer did not have it in stock, but said that he could make one in short order if she would wait. She sat down in anticipation of a dreary afternoon of waiting, but in precisely twenty-five minutes departed with the finished article. It had been made up entire from the raw materials.

THE TERRE HAUTE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 12,1888.
GENERAL HARRISON'S LETTER.
[CONTINCED FROM FIRST PAGE.]
crime too grave to be considered lightly. The right of every qualified elector to cast one free ballot, and to have it honestly counted, must not be questioned. Every constitutional power should be used to make this right eecure, and punish frauds upon the ballot. Our colored people do not ask special legislation in their interest but only to be made secure in the common righto of American citizenship. They will, however, naturally mistrust the sincerity of those party leaders who appeal to their race for support only in those localities where the suffrage is free and election results doubtful, and compass their disfranchisement where their votes would be controlling and their choice cannot be coerced,
NATIONAL AID FOR EDUCATION. The nation, not less than the states, is dependent for prosperity and security upon the intelligence and morality of the people. This common interest very early suggested national aid in the es tablishment and endowment of schools and colledges in the new states. There is, I believe, a present exigency that calls for still more liberal and direct appropriations in aid of common school education in the states.
THE NEW STATES.
The territorial form of government is a temporary expedient, not a permanent civil condition. It is adapted to the exigency that suggested it, but becomes inadequate and even oppressive, when applied to fixed and populous communities. Several territories are well able to bear the burdens and discharge the duties of free commonwealths in the American union. To exclude them is to deny the just rights of their people, and may we 1 excite their indignant protest. No question of the political preference of the people of a territory should close against them the hospitable door which has opened to two-thirds of the existing states. But admission should be resolutely refused to any territory a majority of whose people cherish institutions that are repugnant to our civilization or inconsistent with a republican form of government.
TRUSTS.
The declarations of the convention against "All combinations of capital, organized in trusts or other wise, to control arbitrarily the condition of trade among our citizens" is in harmony with the views entertained and publicly expressed by me long before the assembling of the convention. Ordinarily, capital shares the losses of idleness with labor, but under the operation of the trust, in some of its forms, the wage-worker alone suffers loss, while idle capital receives its dividends from a trust fund. Producers who refuse to join the combination are destroyed, and competition as an element is eliminated. It cannot be doubted that the legislative authority should and will find a method of dealing fairly and effectively with these and other abuses connected with this subject.
PENSIONS.
It can hardly be necessary for me to say that I am heartily in sympathy with the declaration of the convention upon the subject of pensions to our old soldiers and sailors. What they gave and what they suffered I had some opportunity to observe and, in a small measure, to experience. They gave ungrudgingly it was not a trade, but an offering. The measure was heaped up, running over. What they achieved only a distant generation can adequately tell. Without attempting to discuss particular propositions, I may add that measures in behalf of the surviving veterans of the war and of the families of their dead comrades should be conceived and executed in a spirit of justice and of the most grateful liberality, and that, in the competition for civil appointments, honorable military service should have appropriate recognition, the law regulating apointments to the classified.
CIVIL, SERVICE
received my support in the senate, in the belief that it opened the way to a much needed reform. I still think so, and therefore, cordially approve the clear and forcible expression of the convention upon this subject. The law should have the aid of a friendly interpretation and be faithfully and vigorously enforced. All appointments under it should be absolutely free from partisan considerations and influences. Some extensions of the classified list are practicable and desirable, and further legislation extending the reform to other branches of the service, to which it is applicable, would receive my approval. In appointments to every grade and department, fitness and non-party service should be the essential and discriminating test and fidelity ard efficiency the only sure tenure of office. Only the interests of the public service should suggest removals from office. I know the practical difliculities attending the attempt to apply the spirit of the civil service rules to all appointments and removals. It will, however, be my sincere purpose, if elected, to advance the reform.
EMPERANCE.
I notice with pleasure that the convention did not omit to express its solicitude for the promotion of virtue and temperance among our people. The Republican party has always been friendly to everything that tended to make the home life of our people free, pure and prosperous, and will in the future be true to its history in this respect. OL'R RELATIONS WITH FOREIGN POWERS should be characterized by friendliness and respect. The right of our people and of our ships to hospitable treatment should be insisted upon with dignity and firmness. Our nation is too great, both in material strength and moral power, to indulge in bluster or to be suspected of timorousnees. Vacillation and inconsistency are as incompatible with successful diplomacy as they are with the national dignity. We should especially cultivate and extend our diplomatic and commercial relations with the Central and South American states. Our fisheries ahould be fost,ered. The hardships and-risks that are the necessary incidents of the business should not be increased by an inhospitable exclusion from the near lying ports. The resources of a firm, dignified and consistent diplomacy are undoubtedly equal to the prompt and peaceful solution of the difficulties that now exist. Our neighbors will Burely not expect in our porta a commercial hospitality they deny to us in theirs.
IN GENERAL.
I cannot extend this letter by a special reference to other subjects upon which the convention gave an expression. In respect to them, as well as to thoae I I have noticed, I am in
entire
agreement
with the declarations of the convention. The resolutions relating to the coinage, to the rebuilding of the navy, to the coast defences and to public lands, express conclusions to all of which I gave my support in the senate. Inviting calm and thoughtful consideration of these public questions, we submit them to the people. Their intelligent patriotism and the good providence that made and kept us a nation will lead them to wise and safe conclusions. Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
BENJAMIN HARRISON.

An Karly Western Soldier.
The most conspicuous object in the new and handsome rooms to be soon occupied by Secretary Endicott is an oil portrait of (Ieorge Rogers Clark. The bald head—bald on top—the long, silvery locks and the rather abstracted look of the general give him rather a resemblance to King Lear, or Gaspard the Miser. The portrait was taken when the general was old, and long after his fighting days were over but a dim old printed tablet appended to the frame of the picture tells the hero's story. He was born in Albemarle county, Virginia, in 1752, but spent most of his after life in Kentucky and Indiana. During the war of the Revolution he conquered and took possion of the great Northwestern territory and made it possible in negotiating the treaty of 1783 to have the northern boundary of the United States placed on the line of the great lakes instead of the Ohio river. The tablet tells of his wading his way across six miles of water in the valley of the Wabash to attack Vincennos. It took five days to do it, and the author of th£ tablet says it was an exploit which paralleled Hannibal's crossing of the Thrasymene marsh. The general died at Louisville in 1818.— [Washington Post.
