A goo:l many Democrats in this county who are protesting that they intend to vote the People's Party ticket have Grover Cleveland's picture posted conspicuously in their front window. It is a bad sign, a very bad sign.

HAVE you noticed tne change in the last few years of the Democratic party I toward the old soldiers? The man who saved the Union. In 188C they run a Union General for president. Since then the Southern brigaders and inaayof their Northern allied, boi^i indirectly and openiv insult the old veterans.

THERE seems to be much less exrke ment in the ca npaign this year than i.sual. The lact is though that the people are taking more papers than formerly and doing more reading aud thinking. They are getting all the light they can aud when the 8th day of November arrive* they will render their verdict at the dls and it will be for Harri-urn, Protection, Reciprocity, Prosperity and Progress.
AMERICA FOR AMERICANS.
The President*® Prompt Action la the Venesuelan Matter. Venezuela's appeal for protection from the threatening encroachments of Great Britain upon the territory of that little republic, which was made in vain to this country in 1887, when Secretary Bayard was ut tlie li&ad of tlie state de* partment, has been answered by President Harrison. The situation is one which will undoubtedly give an opportunity for the emphatic assertion by the president of the famous Monroe doctrine—an assertion which was evaded by President Cleveland's administration, despite the pathetic appeal of the Venezuelan government.
The sealed instructions which were delivered to Admiral Walker on board the Chicago intrusted him with a mission more important, it is believed, than any that has been confided to an American naval omeer in recent yeai's. Agents of the government of Great Britain have taken possession, unduly and forcibly, of the port of Barima, at the mouth of the Orinoco, which up to that time had been possessed by Venezuela, whose title to it was indisputable. It is only necessary to cast a glance at the map of South America in order to see the vast importance of this aggressive step of Great Britain. When a European maritime power has once obtained a foothold at Barima it absolutely controls the Orinoco river and its numerous affluents. Through that artery it may penetrate as far as the Rio de La Plata. Venezuela is therefore not the only American republic that is at the mercy of the naval power that gets control of the Orinoco river. Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, the Argentine Republic aud Uruguay are likew-ise at it$ mercy. Much interest is felt in President Harrison's instruction to Admiral Walker. It is believed they will bo found to be in his usual vigorous and firm torn), which has more than once in the past brought a prompt recognition from Groat Britain and other foreign powers.
A DEMOCRATIC MANUFACTURER.
He Telia Wliy Pro ose« to Voto for Harrison. Florien Grosjean, the head of the La Lance & Grosjean Manufacturing company, of Woodhaven, Long Island, lias announced his intention to vote this year for Harrison, protection and reciprocity. Mr. Grosjean has always been a Democrat.
The big factory of the company of which Mr. Grosjean is the president manufactures agate ironware and gives employment steadily to 1,400 men. The factory building covers six acres. The people who labor under its roof take away several thousand dollars in wages for each day of their toil.
Mr. Grosjean gives a clear reason for the faith that is in him. "I am," he said, "very fond of Mr. Cleveland! 1 have always voted the Democratic ticket, and have done what 1 could to help elect it. Both times that Mr. Cleveland ran I voted and worked for him, but 1 can no longer antagonize my own interests, and the interests of the 1,400 men in our employ, by lending encouragement to a free trade propaganda. It is plain to me that the establishment of a free trade system would eventually force us to close our factory and throw out of work the operatives."
Sees Him He If as Others See Iliin.
"What is a tin plate liar, pa?" "A tin plate liar, my son, is a man who tries to get into office by saying that the tin plate industry established by the Republican McKinley law amounts to nothing, when in fact he knows that there were 20,000,000 pounds made in this country last year, $6,000,000 of capital invested and thousands of men given employment in this new industry."

any recognition or extending us any courtesy. That 1 much regret. We were ever their honorable antagonists. Magnanimously we have forgiven them, restored them to tho citizenship and honors and emoluments of the country which we prevented them from betraying and mining. We visited them when they did burly,.i honors to their fallen chiefs, going almost so far as to march beneath the flag of a .stricken treuson Surely after twenty-five years they should have forgiven ns for having vanquished them in the interests of freedom, nationality, humanity, and above all of their own children.—Veteran in New YOI Paper.
I have arrived at the ago of fnKv threescore uiul have lice :i lifelong Oemoci-iit, hat 1 am fully satisfied that Clcv iml is not tin friend of the soldier* mid should not receive our support.— (iencral K. (). liecrs.
When the McKinley law imposing a duty of two dollars a pound on Sumatra leaf went into effect the price of Connecticut tobacco increased from sixteen cents to twenty-six cents, and the actual prolits of the farmer were more 'than doubled. It is estimated that the tobacco growers have already gained fl .0C0.000 by tho law.
1 tell you, eir, the old soldiers will not vote for Cleveland. He cannot carry New Y^rki^-General Sickles.
THE VETERANS.
SOMETHING OF WHAT THEY ARE FINDING IN WASHINGTON.
A Prosperous Country—Wonderful Increase in Wealth 'and Commerce—The Nation's Tribute to Its Defenders—They
Contrast Two Presidential Records. (Special Correspondence.) WASHINGTON, Sept. T9.—Thisisagr^at week in Washington. The old soldiers are here in full force. Never since they marched up Pennsylvania avenue at the close of the war has Washington seen so many of the veterans who saved the country. And there is no 1 ess enthusiasm for the flag and the country among the thousands who tread Pennsylvania avenue today than there was a quarter of a century ago behind the battle stained banners.
Changed Conditions.
But what a change they find. Instead of a treasury burdened with a debt of §2,750,000,000 they find the treasury now with interest bearing debt of less than $600,000,000.
Instead of an annual interest charge of $150,000,000, which the government was compelled to pay at that time, they find now a treasury whose annual interest payment is in round numbers but $20,000,000.
Instead of a government so reduced as to be compelled to pay more than 7 per cent. 011 the money which it borrowed to carry on its war for the preservation of the nation they find one able to float its bonds at par at 2 per cent, per annum interest.
Instead of a debt of seventy-eight dollars for each individual in the United States they find an indebtedness of thirteen dollars for each individual, and instead of a per capita interest rate of $4,251 they now find an interest rate of thirty-five cents per capita.
Reduced Taxes Increased Commerce. All this they find interesting. They find instead of a country compelled to raise $5151.000,000 by taxation in a y«ar one which now taxes its people less than $-100,000.000 a year, although her population has nearly doubled meantime and the expenses of government naturally increased.
They find a country with a foreign commerce of nearly $2,000,000,000 against a total of less than $500,000,000 in 1865.
They find instead of a balance of trade against the United States of $15,000,000, as was the case in 1S65. that the balance of trade in our favor now is more than $100,000,000.
They find instead of domestic exports amounting to $136,000,000 then that our exports during the past year were more than a $1.000,000.000.
A Magnificent Pension System. And this is not all. They find a magnificent pension office with thousands of clerks employed in examining into and paying the claims for pension of the men who fought to save the country.
Instead of a pension roll of 85,000 men and widows which they found in 1865, they find to-day a pension roll of 750,000 soldiers and soldiers' widows.
Instead of an annual payment of $8,500,000 for pensions which they found in 1865. they ftntl the government paying $130,000,000 a year for pensions, and that it has paid to them and their fellow soldiers or their families $l,250,O»H).000 in pensions since they marched up Pennsylvania avenue at the close of the war a quarter of a century ago,
One Painful Thought.
One thing more they find, and it brings sorrow and pain to every heart. It is that in the record of all this prosperity. in the record of the nation's generosity toward its defenders and their families, the one man who has lifted his hand against the soldier in the quarter of a century which has passed since they were last here did so from the president's chair in the White House, and did so as the only representative of the Democratic party who has filled that exalted station since the war.
It is a painful thought to these old soldiers as they gather here that the only representative which the Democratic party have had in the White House since the country was reunited a quarter of a century ago should have been the only man to raise his hand against them, and to strike down with the official power placed temporarily in his hands the evidences of affection which tho congress of a grateful nation had voted them.
That the one Democratic president who has occupied the White House since they inarched up Pennsylvania avenue twen-ty-five years ago should have wielded the veto power against them hundreds of times in a short four years' term and deprived 40,000 soldiers' homes aud families of the pittance which the congress of a grateful nation had freely voted them throws a shadow, even at that long distance, over this gathering of comrades.
A Silver Lining to t.!ie Cloud. Bui there is a silver lining to this cloud.
The man who occupies the White House today they look .upon as a friend and a comrade. And they have reason so to do. His words and acts have ali been of kindness and affection. He. extends to them Lie cordiality of a comrade's greeting. IIis own words in his recent letter of acceptance are written np^u their hearts in living letters, "A comrade in the column of the victor's parade I 1 am not" less a comrade now."
The Republican Parry Did It. One other thought which comes to these old soldiers as they gather hei-e and note the magnificent record' of the past quarter of a century: This reduction of the public debt this wonderful decrease in rates of per capita indebtedness and interest: this unparalleled growth in commerce and commercial prosperity: this magnificent tribute of the nation's nirection for the old soldier element they sire all the work of the Republican party, whose wisdom and statesmanship have Controlled the policy of the government ever since they gave us back a united nation.

HI -r LEWIS BROS., Pi op.'s, 39-tl2 PendletonTTnd.
THE Globe, a Democratic paper Jpublished at Durham, N. C. comes to the defense of Mr. Cleveland in fine style. It says
Some of the North Carolina papers aio howling about the positive fact that Grover Cleveland hired a cheap man to represent him when the North pillaged and plundered and burned, and ravished the South. There oouid not be a better recommendation. The scamps at the North who went into the war went in for $14 a month, with the explicit understanding that they should and could steal all that was in sight. Grover Clevehnd knew that the country would need his services in 1884, and auain iu 1893, and he did not propose to have his body filled with lead in order to give a Yankee rr chance to pick his pocket after he had been killed. He simply did a good business job, as he did when he slapped the dirty beggars, called pensioners iu the face Why should he—a statesman aud a man of his intellect—take the chance of war when he could hire a cheap iellow to represent him? There is no reason. The Globe regards that as oue of the best thiugs Cleveland evei.* did. If Cleveland had fought he would have been lowered in the. estimation of tho South. He did not propose to use his skill in killing the boys of the Southland. The Solid South owes a debt of gratitude

Grover (Jicve-
land. iu the SouLh when it is urged against Cleveland by tome of the unreconstructed rebels that he sent a substitute to fight them, during the war it is said iu his behalf by his friends and supporters like the Globe, for instance that he only hired a fellow and thou allowed hirrt to starve in the poor house. The Globe says, "the Solid South owes a debt cf gratitude to Grover Cleveland/' the SouLh may owe him graiitude but -at does the North and the LTiiion veterans owe kini Ct)i any old soldier vote for Cleveland and Copperhead Stevenson. r.li:. T. V. I'OWDKIH.V the head of the Knights of Labor of the United States scores the Democrat party in the following caustic style. The Democratic party has the supreme gall ro assume with tin air of patronizing ownership, the privilege of dictuting just how workingmen should vote. It claims to be the party of the poor man. I grant that it ought to be, for the poor have given it the strength to live long enough to see the principal actors on its boards squirm aud shift with every wind to catch the votes of the poor men.. Yes, the Democratic party is the party of the poor man, and if he continues to vote that ticket he will never be anything else than a poor twan.
Let workingmen read the above, reflect and then vote for their own best interests.

MR. JAMES F. PR0WN,0F Washington,! D. C., a member of the Democratic cen-| trai CouimitU-e of the District of Columbia, recently delivered a spaech at a Democratic meeting iu Montgomery Co.f Maryland, in which he said of the G. A.| R.:
The Republican party and the Harrison: administration are responsible for every dodar that is paid those who played sol-: diers thirty years ago and who still pride themselves on their work at that time. This political organization is always ready to detenu wiMi bayonets the unconstitu-| tional aud dirty work of the party that? feeds them. Thete mercenary warriors,! these pauper soldiers, these hangers on and around the leaders of the Harrison part, 1 understand tire soou to be housed| aud ted at Washington city. They are tot be entertained upon a large sum ot moneywhich they arid the Republican members| iu the Senate "lobbieu" through Con-f gress. The parks and public squares are| also to be reserved tor these deienders of the negro, whose vote is always for salef wherever be resides, and the res] e"table| people are asked 10 open their homes tol them In the capital of the Nation these I meu are to hold high carnival at the ex-1 pense of you and me and others whose! constitutional rights they abridged. Itf was created by the Republican party for|| conquest, and, as iu the past, is stdl ntil-1 ized to further the schemes of that cor-f rupt organization.
Let every old toldier read the above article, time aud again aud then cut its out and show7 it to some old soldier lriend^ that probably is thinking of voting for? Grover Cleveland. "J
TIIK numo-ci of employees and also the wages have been increased in Aiassachu-,. sens under the AicKiniey bill. So their labor Commissioners report, which lias* just been made shows. These Democratic State iaiior Coininis.-ionei, Peck of New York, i'eele of Indiana, and Wautey, of Massachusetts, 1,!i show an increase of wages. Every man aud ill iu know for themselves has ill cost 01 viug has been reduced. Ask a Democratic speaker or paper to name one manufactured article that has increased in price uuder the McKinley bill. TIH-V cau not do it.
Col.. '1'OM V\ AIMKN of Geoigia, People'S Party candidate for Congress along with other people's party candidates are making it hot for Clevel tutu and Stevensou in the South.
