The story industriously circulated by Democratic papers during the last few days that manager Frick, of the Homestead works, had contributed
a largo sum to the Republican campaign fund is without a particle of truth. It is a lie out of whole cloth. Mr. Frick ia. a Democrat, and, of course, has not contributed a cent to the Republican causo. TYo do not know whether ho has contributed to the Democratic campaign fund or not, nor do we know that ho takes any interest in politics. The statement that ho had made a contribution to the Republican campaign fund is an impudent falsehood. Do not stop to listen to the talk of : "bluffers, but keep np the fipht. ' No ceosiblo man will bo influenced by eloventh-hour rumors or appeals to prejudice. And stJil the Democratic organs charge thai Mr. Henry yoted for tho criminal coda which contained something which Tras cabisquently found to bo objection
able to workingmen, but they do not tell that Senator Turpi and another Democratic lawyer codified the criminal code na a whole, and that all the members ot the Legislature, Democrats as well n? Republicans, voted for it. Mr. Henry's error was in assuming that Dem-ocratic-niade codes aro proper. He kn ows better now.
Direct evidence is had at Republican headquarters that that patron saint of the Democracy, Simeon Coy, the ex-convict, who has been placed in charge of tho machinery of tho election boards by Thomas Taggart. and John R. Wilson, is attempting to purchase certain Republican judges and challengers. On yesterday Coy in person attempted to buy a challenger, and has sent his emissaries to others with a request for appointments with him. If this notorious corruptionist and felon is desirous of serving the State another term he is in a fair way to have tho desiro gratified, and there , may bo other gentlemen whose fair reputations will bo decidedly damaged by the exposures that will foUow. A word to tho wise is usually sufficient, and tho gentlemen alluded to class themselves among the knowing ones. IBDIANA'8 OPPORTUNITY. President Harrison may be re-elected without the vote of his own State, but it would be a lasting disgrace to Indiana to have it happen so. What benefit could accrue to Indiana from having a New York man elected President over an Indiana man, and especially such a New York man as Grover Cleveland over such an Indiana man as Benjamin Harrison! The honor and credit of Indiana aro more deeply involved in this election than is tho fame or the political fortunes of President Harrison. His fame and his place in history are secure, and his re-eloction is practically certain. But it will be to the lasting discredit and dishonor of the State if she fails to pronounce for the re-election of her distinguished son by a plurality that will show the world that she appreciates him. President Harrison can aftord to lose the State much better than the State can afford to lose the opportunity of casting her electoral vote for him. Such an opportunity may not be presented to the State again for generations to come. Only two Republican Presidents havo been renominated before Harrison. . These were Lincoln and Grant. Now thero is a chance to complete the trio by the re-election of an Indiana man who has filled the place as creditably as either of the others. Will Indiana show herself equal to the opportunityf - SIMEON ASP THE BEBTIEEL. A little over a year ago tho Sentinel was out with Simeon Coy.. Acting under tho instructions of Chairman Taggart, Simeon was pretending to be hostile to Mayor Sullivan. The Sentinel, however, was led to believe that Coy was not as true to the cause of Democratic reform as when he forged the tally-sheets, and assailed that Democratic magnate day after day. Oct. 6, 18U1, it devoted a long and savage article to the treachery and scoundreJism of Coy, from which' the following extracts are taken: Treachery is no new feature in Simeon's career. He knifed Bynum without mercy, pending his second nomination, revealed his secrets, and, as chairman of the Democratic county committee, issued certificates of election to all the anti-lJy-num contesting delegates without even the pretense of investigation. On his retnrn from the penitentiary, in consideration of his promise to behave himself and keep out of politics, the Sentinel treated him with kindness It was a typical Coy pledge. We repeat that he has received money from the Republican managers for the purchase of Democratic inspectors and election judges in the coming election. Now the farce is played to its end. 8im Coy cannot masquerade any longer in this community as a Democrat, lie has some personal followers who hare the opportunity to remain with him or leave him. They cannot retain their present relations with him and expect any consideration from Democrats. Make your choice, gentlemen; make it quickly. Day after day, prior to the municipal election in October, 1891,. the Sentinel kept up a fusillade of paragraphs upon Coy, of which the following are samples: A vote for Sullivan is a vote for Sim Coy's speedy and permanent removal to Chicago. The Hendricss and Cleveland clubs should lose no time in expelling Sim Coy from their memberships. The Democracy of Marion county got rid of the worst load it ever carried when Sim Coy sold himself. Several articles of the Sentinel assume that Coy was justly sent to the penitentiary and explain that it only kept its righteous hands off of Coy becanso he promised to behave . himself and to keep out of politics. This is the( same Simeon Coy that Taggart, Wilson and Holt have put in charge of the party election machinery. Is the Sentinel aware of tho fact? An editorial reasserting that ho ia a would-be briber would be interesting reading just now. WILD-CAT BANK LAWS STILL IN FORCE. It will probably surprise most persons to learn that the old free-bank law of Indiana is still in full force and effect. This law was approved May 23, 1853, and was entitled "An act to authorize and regulate the business of general banking." It is printed in Vol. 1, of Gavin & Hord's edition of tho statutes, pago 124. As it has never been repealed it is still in force, and there is nothing to prevent tho establishment of banks of issue under it except -the prohibitory tax on Stato bank notes. Under this law "any number of persons, not less than eleven, n majority of whom shall be resident citizens of this State," may lile articles of association and deposit with the Treasurer of Stato not less than $50,C00 worth of interest-bearing Stato bonds, "and for every 110 worth of stocks or bonds thus deposited such association shall bo entitled to receive only $100 in notes;" provided that no bank shall have more than $200,000 circulation. It is also made tho duty of the Auditor of State, on proof of tho deposit of such stocks or bonds, to "causo to be engraved and printed such quantity of circulating notes in the simili
tude of bank notes, in blank, as may be from time to time needed to meet the demand of those organizations, for the purpose of banking." If the prohibitory ten-per-cent. tax on State bank notes should be repealed, as the Democratic platform demands, no new legislation would be required in this State to nuthorizo the establishment of wild-cat banks of issue. They could be established by dozens and scores under the law above quoted. It is also a fact not generally known that thero are several -insurance company charters in force in this State which carry the right to issue notes. These charters are kept alive for a special purpose, and if the prohibitory tax on such notes were repealed they would at once begin the Issue of circulating notes, as they would have a right to do under their charters without any new legislation. It needs no argument, therefore, to show what a condition of things would ensue in this State if the prohibitory ten-per-cent. tax on State bank notes were repealed.
TAQOART'S IN8ULT TO VETERAN 8. Tho Democratic managers in this county Taggart, Coy and Wilson have invited two Kentucky Democrats to address the party in this city to-morrow night, Representative Breckinridge and Henry Watterson. Mr. Breckinridge is an estimable gentleman who went into the rebellion without his State, and in Congress habitually votes against all measures to extend the benefits of the pension system. Mr. Watterson is one of the few men of the Democratic party who has tho courage of his convictions. Inspired by this courage Mr. Watterson, in his newspaper, the Louisvillo Courier-Journal, of Aug. 11, 1803, printed tho following assault upon the pension system as a double-leaded editorial: It is a iob from one end to the other, the more iniquitous because, whilst levying tribute upon the masses for the beneiitof the classes, it is supplemented by a steadily-increasing pension list, looting the treasury to the tune of $150,000,000 a year, two-thirds of which go to the support of tho coftee-coolers and camp-followers and other red-nosod patriots that loaf about the doggeries and brothels of the country, swearing one for another, toward an ultimate agrarianism as corrupt and corrupting as ever existed in the world. The Democratio party can gain nothing by making wry faces and throwing harmless tufts of grass at this Republican robber tan 11 and this Republican robber pension list. It haS every thing to gain by the integrity of its convictions and tbe courage thereof. The administration of Grover Cleveland stands as a monument of nnilagging devotion to the interests of the people and implacable hostility to the assaults ot the looters pensioners. His great anti-pension message is like unto it, a second chapter in the Democratic Book of He form. The nope of the country is the end of tariff robbery. The hope of the treasury ia the end of pension robbery. The people are looking to Democracy for relief, first from tariff robbery, second from pension robbery. And yet these Democratic managers who have invited Mr. Watterson here to speak for tho Democracy aro urging the men whom he stigmatized as "red-nosed patriots, camp-followers and perjurers" to vote the Democratic ticket and to bow down to the Democracy of which they invito Mr. Watterson to be the spokesman. THE BUPEEME DUTY OF THE H0UE. Elections are lost or won on election day. It is tho ballots that are cast and counted that decide the result. Many a well-conducted campaign has been thrown away by failure to get out the vote, andmany a badly-managed one has been retrieved by a supreme effort on election day. Thus far the Republican campaign has been well managed and fortune has favored us. Tho result is seen in large gains and in tho steady and strong current which is setting from various directions towards the Republican candidates. But nothing is done while anything remains to be done. The present prospect is as bright and promising as could possibly be dc3ired, but the final struggle yet remains. To insure success in that it is necessary to get out the largest possible percent, of the Republican vote. This means that every Republican in tho State should mako it his business to be at home and vote on Tuesday and endeavor to influence at least one other vote. Tho prize is worth fighting for. The success of the Republican party and the honor and credit of the State aro at stake, and every Republican in the State should do his duty. The supreme duty of tho hour is to get out the Republican vote. ME. TAGQAET'3 BIO PULL, To-day and Monday will be the last days for paying the second installment of the tax of 1891. While .men and women are crowding into the county treasurer's office with their hard-earned wads of money rolled up in their hands to pay their increased taxes under a Democratic, law let them contemplate the figures which show the amount of money drawn out of the county treasury during the last four years by -Mr. Thomas Taggart, county auditor. Here are the figures: From Nov. 3, 1887, to Nov. 3, 1888...?1C,597.20 From Nov. 3, 1883, to Nov. 3, 1889... 17.206.54 From Nov. 3, 18S9, to Nov. 3, 1890... 18.C21.U5 From Nov. 3, 1800, to Nov. 3, 1891... 24,817.63 From Not. 3, 1891. to Oct. 31, 1892-. 25.209.36 Observe how the figures increase and note the aggregate. There is an increase of $8,G22.1G in four years and the aggregate is $102,442.08. The man who has drawn this princely sum from the county treasury during tho last five years is working night and day to fasten Democratic rule on the State and county for another two years. High taxes do not troublo him any, and what does he care eohis nest is feathered? AN IMPRESSIVE LESSON. ' It appears by yesterday's dispatches that tho cotton manufacturers in the most important cotton manufacturing city in the United .States, Fall River, Mass., have voted to advance tho wages of their thousands of employes 7 per cent, without any request from the employed. Such an increase of wages on so extended a scale, under such circumstnuces, is without precedent in tho history of manufacturing. Two weeks ago the cotton manufacturers in tho largest cotton manufacturing city of Great Britain gave notice to their employes that on Nov. 8 a reduction of wages ot 5 per cent, would bo
made. Next Tuesday, either the employes iu the British cotton factories will submit to the reduction or strike. The American cotton-spinners, whose wages have been advanced 7 per cent., were paid from top to bottom; 45 per cent, more wages than the English cotton-spinners received before their wages were reduced 5 per cent. Wage-earners who vote next Tuesday will do well to consider such facts as these and ask themselves if they can afford to change a policy which is increasing wages for one under which wages are falling.
THE AUSTRALIAN BALLOT LAW AND UNITED STATES BOPEEVI30B3. Tho Sentinel counsels resistance to United States supervisors appointed in the interest of an honest election, and calls on tho ' Democrats of Indiana to "see to it that tho Australian election law is strictly executed." All the Republicans ask is an honest observance and enforcement of the Australian election law. That law distinctly recognizes the right of United States supervisors to be and remain where the votes are being cast and counted. Section 49 of the law says: No person other than the members of the election board, poll clerks and election sheriUs, and United States supervisors, if any be appointed, shall be permitted in the election room during the election, except for the purpose of voting, or during the canvass of the votes. The f ramers of this law were not such fools as to attempt to exclude United States supervisors from the election room during an election for Representatives in Congress, and we do not think Democratic election officers will take the dangerous risk of trying to resist them in tho exercise of their rightful authority. PLENTY 0P LAW ON THE SUBJECT. Attorney-general Miller virtually directs federal supervisors and marshals to go into the inclosures where the booths and ballot-boxes are. SentineL And why should they not? The act of Congress under which they aro appointed 6ays theyshair4be end remain where the ballot-boxes aro kept at all times after tho polls are open until every vote cast at such time and place has been counted, tho canvass of all votes polled wholly completed and the proper and requisite certificates and returns made." This is United States law. The State law expressly says that United States supervisors, 4f any bo appointed, shall be, permitted in the election-room during the election and during the canvass of tho votes. Tho act of Congress would be sufficient to authorize supervisors to be and remain in tho election-room, but it may allay Democratic solicitude to know that tho Stato law also recognizes their right in this regard. There is no lack of law on tho subject. A rOEECABT. The total vote ca.st in Indiana four years ago was G3G.899,' of which 203, SGI were for Harrison. The total vote cast next Tuesday, allowing for natural increase, ought to bo 5S0,000, of which at least one-half, or 290,000, ought to be for Harrison. In Other words, his plurality over Cleveland should be just about the third-party vote, whatever that may bo. The third-party movement will draw some votes from tho Republican party, but the latter will gain enough from the Democratic party to offset this loss, so that, in a general way, it is fair to say that Harrison's plurality should bo about the third-party vote. That is what it should be; what it will be will depend on tho success of the Republicans in getting out their vote and having 'it rightly cast and honestly counted. These are the main points to be looked after now, and they want to be looked after very sharply. A full vote and an honest count will insure tho Stato for Harrison. WHAT THEY REPRESENT. The candidates of this election cannot be separated from the principles and policies they stand for. A vote for Harrison is not only a vote for him personally but for what he represents. Tho same is true of Cleveland. No presidential candidato is bigger than his party or can get away from his party platform. General Harrison represents protection and reciprocity, honest money and national currency, American rights, American industries, American wages and American markets against the world. Mr. Clovcland represents free trade and wild-cat money, the destruction of American industries, the lowering of American wages, tho surrender of American markets and flooding the country with irredeemable paper currency, the spawn of State banks. No person should imagine that in voting for either of these candidates he does not vote for what the candidate represents. UNCLE BAM'B WATCHERS. The old election law in this State provided that either or. both political parties might be represented by two persons as witnesses of the counting of tho votes, to see that no fraud or injustice was done. These witnesses were to be selected by tho central committee of the county or township. They were called "watchers." The Australian ballot law repealed thi9 provision. Under this law neither party can havo watchers to the count, except that the two election sheriffs, appointed under Stato law, and the United States supervisors and deputy marshals, appointed under United States law, may be present in the voting-room and witness tho count. The election sheriff are the State's watchers, while tho supervisors and tho deputy marshals are Uncle Sam's. UNCLE SAM HA8 A LONG ARM. Tho United States does not havo to ask any Stato for permission to mako regulations for tho election of members of Congress, nor does it have to ask tho consent of the Democratic party to enforce such regulations. The act of Congress regulating such elections is paramount to any and all State laws. The rights and duties of supervisors aro'prescribed by national law, and no Stato law can add to or detract therefrom. And, by tho same token, it would be
very nnsafe for any election officer or person acting under a State law to attempt to resist or interfere with a United States supervisor in the discharge of his duty. The United States government has an arm long enough to reach into any State, and when its officers are attacked, resisted or interfered with in the discharge of their duty it is apt to bo heard from.
A MANUFACTURED "SENSATION." The Sentinel has a pretended special from Chicago which says "tho Frick episode continues the chief topic of political conversation in Chicago," with a lot moro of sensational stuff on the subject. The dispatch is a fake, and was written in the Sentiuel office. Tho socalled "Frick episode" relates to his alleged contribution to the Republican campaign fund. Mr. Frick is a Democrat. He has made no contribution whatever to any Republican campaign fund, and the statement that it is causing a sensation in Chicago is false. Democratic papers published in Chicago contained hardly more than a passing reference to the rumor, which was evidently rated at its proper worth as a campaign lie. It was characteristic of the Sentinel's methods! to take it up and try to inflate it to the proportions of a sensation by bogus dispatches written in the office and marked "special." FROM A BUSINESS POINT OP VIEW. As a rule, business men and men of finance are averse to taking strong political positions. They feel that business and politics do not mix well. This year, however, there are many notable exceptions. A great number of business men have declared in favor of maintaining present conditions. Mr. Scherer, manager of the Now York Clearing-house, says: "Among the conservative financiers of New York I think tho general sentiment 'is that it would be wise, from a business point of view, to continuo the present administration for another term. That is tho impression I get from the intercourse I have had with them." THE FRICK FAKE. Tho story industriously circulated by Democratic papers during the last few days that manager Frick, of the Homestead works, had contributed a large sum to tho Republican campaign fund is without a particle of truth. It is a lie out of whole cloth. Mr. Frick is a Democrat, and, of course, has not contributed a cent to the Republican cause. We do not know whether ho has contributed to . the Democratic campaign fund or not, nor do we know that he takes any interest in politics. The 'Statement that he had made a contribution to the Republican campaign fund is an impudent falsehood. A FAVORITE DEMOCRATIC TRICK. The attempt to injure tho Republican party by asserting that Manager Frick has made a largo contribution to its campaign fund is on a par with the attempt to unload Simeon Coy on tho Republican party two years ago. When the Democratic leaders havo exhausted every other resource they try to render the Republican party odious by giving out that some of their own people have joined it. It is a favorite trick of the Democracy. BETTER CLIKQ TO THE REALITY. Thero is an instructive fable of a dog who lost a substantial bone by trying to seize its shadow in the water. Ho relinquished arealityfor a barren ideality. Before voting for tho party which ad vocates free trade Americans should ask themselves if it would bo wise to risk tho loss of good markets at home for the possible possession of imaginary markets abroad. THEY FIND IT VERY SLIPPERY. Our friend, William Shakspeare, says: lie that stands upon a slippery place ' Makes nice of no vile hold to stay him up. Judging from the wild manner in which our friends, theenemQ are reaching out after all kinds of nasty supports during the last days of the campaign, we conclude they find the walking very slippery. On Tuesday next they will go down, ker-whallup. THE TRUTH ABOUT THE FORCE BILL. There is no force bill. In September and October, 1591, when the Journal was showing from the assessor's books that the valuations of properties in different parts of the city had been increased over the previous year, and that the taxes thereon would be greatly increased, the Sentinel, pending the re-election of Mayor Sullivan, printed the following in black type, day after day, at the head of its editorial column: Tbe tax bills of thousands of the small property-owners will be smaller next year than this. The tax-payers of Marion county now know, to their sorrow, that what tho Journal stated at the time was the truth; and it seems impossible that the Sentinel should have been as ignorant about the matter as it professed. At any rate, it shows that it cannot be relied upon just before an election. The voters of Indianapolis will have an opportunity next Tuesday to deal a blow, at the same moment, to Coyism and tinhornism. The above, from the Sentinaj of Oct. 7, 1891, was a false prediction, as the election of Mr. Sullivan, under the direction of Chairman Taggart, caused tho elevation of Coy and of Coyism to the most potential position in the Democratic control. But on next Tuesday the voters of Indianapolis will have an opportunity to deal a blow at Taggartlsm, Coyism and Holtism combined. Aftek last night's handsome demonstration it is hardly likely that Taggart and tho Democratic managers will again havo the hardihood to assert that tho colored men of Indianapolis are traitors to the Republican cause. Tho parade and the meeting were a credit not only to tho colored people, but to tho Republican party and the city. The Republican candidates for the State Senate are among tho best known citizeus of Marion county D. A. Rich-
ardson, for twenty-six years one of the firm of Richardson & Evans, of the Hoosier mills; Edward Daniels, of the lawrnof Baker & Daniels, and Otto StechhiA. the lounge manufacturer.
WnEN the attention of a member of the Democratic ring was called to the increased and increasing official forco in Marion county he made Tweed'a reply: "What you gonV to do about UP The tax-eater seems to think that the tax-payer has no remedy. Tuesday tho voters can show to the contrary. Democratic prattle about United .States marshals at the present time simply serves to call attention to the several thousand deputy marshals which the then Democratic United States Marshal Hawkins caused to swarm about voting places in 1SS3 to intimidate Re publicans. Every voter should vote for the party whoso policy has proved the best for him and the country. The census shows that the Republican policy has increased wages in manufactures in Indianapolis from $392 to $495 in ten years. Charles J. Many has been called an ideal candidate for sherifT by men who are not Republicans. lie should be elected, to the end that the RherifTs office, as it has existed for f our years, may be thoroughly purified. Tnosn managers who have put a man who has been convicted of ballot-box crimes in charge of the election machinery in this county are nice men to be demanding fair elections. Tim men with whom Republicans should labor are the candid voter i, many of whom are very thoughtful just now. TnE Hon. Simeon Coy is said to be deeply moved because the federal election law will be enforced. To the Editor ot tlio ImUanapoil Journal: A located in Converse over a year aeo, as a partner iu a local business tlrru; has been here all the time, boarding in the tamo precinct, but went home Sunday to his family in another county. He built a residence here and moved his family into it as soon as completed a low days after the two months' limit. His luteutlon all the time was to reside here. Is be a local voter in the precinct in which he has boarded, and in which his family now resides I Yes. The intention controls, and tho fact that he removed his family as soon as practicable shows it was his intention from tbe time he moved there to make that his residence.

C, Oct. 5, 1886. 5 Hon. A. II. Garland, AtV may-General: Dear Sir You aro hereby requested to take general charge and direction of tbe execution of the statutes of the United States touching the appointments of supervisors of elections and special deputy marshals, and the performance of their duties, and their compensation, so far as these subjects are, by the Constitution and laws, nnder the supervision and control of the executive branch of the government Yours truly, GnoVER Ci-iiVEi.AND. Department oy Justice, . Washington, D. C, Oct. 15, lbsC Sir In pursuance of a letter of the 5th inst. from tbe President, directing the Attorney-general to take charge of tho "appointment of special deputy marshals, tbe performance of their unties and their compensation, together with tbe compensation of supervisors," at the congressional election next November, your attention is directed to tbe provisions of Titles 'J4 and 2 Chapter 7, Title 70 of the Revised btatutes. Under Sections 022 and 2021, IL 8., you bave power to keep the poace. protect supervisors, preserve order, prevent frands, and enforce the law in towns of twenty thousand inhabitants and upward.

ANOTHER GREAT OUTPOURING. Enthnslastle Republicans Torn Out Eo Masse to Hear Mr. Albert J. ISevertdre. The Grand Opera-bouse has held no larger crowd than last night listened to the eloquent periods of Albert J. Beveridge Young in years, youthfnl In appearance, fluent of tongue, as rich in rhetoric as he ' strong in logic, piquant with wit as he was subtle In pathos or fierce in invective, the young orator achieved a brilliant success as a speaker and thinker upc-a political subjects. The and lence was representative of the progress, culture, society and material prosperity of the city of the orator's home. There were huudredi of ladies who shared the pleasure which followed the climaxes of oratory. There were huodrcda of young men who drank deep of the tires of patriotism, and filled with pride In the achievements of the Nation while nnder control of the Republican party. There were hundreds of . those in middle age to whom tbe history storied, the picture painted, the memories recalled were suggestive of a whole life of personal experience with tar ills, low wages, poor markets, war, protection and then prosperity. Hundreds stood in the loyers, on lower floor and the first gallery throughout the discourse of nicety minutes. All were entertained and edified, as waa freely manifested at many times. The theater had been tastefully embellished with flags which hung from balcony and box. The stage was occupied by the chairman, Mr. Charles M&rtindale, the score or more of vice-presidents, the Fairbanks Club and drum corps. Mr. Martindale presented the speaker with a brief eulogium as the orator of the present Hoosier generation, worthy to bo likened to Thompson and to Morton. Mr. Reveridge was given an outburst of applause as he arose to speak. 6TKUCK OUT FROM THE SIIOULDP.lt. Wasting no time in coventionalities. La said the question beforo the American people at this time is whether to exchange a certainty for an experiment. The prosperity of tho country, its employed labor, its thriving and extending manufactories, its peace and. happiness make the Republican syllogism. The Democratic argument, he said, is calamity. The crops flooded oi frozen out last spring would have in ado hope for Democracy. The chinch-bug destroying, tbe wheat would have been accepted as a party favor. The worst enemy Grover Cleveland has in this campaign, he said, Is the report from the commercial agencies, showing the volume of business growing, because everybody is earning moro of that wherewith to buy. If these agencies bad told a story i f calamity, their reports would have been declaimed from every Democratic stump in the country. If every merchant on Meridian street had tailed, the ' Demoeratto party would have declared the caus due to Republican legislation. Therefore, said tbe speaker, the Republican! bave the logical right to point to the prosperity of the country, and to sav: "Behold the results of our policies." The Democratic argument is tbe sum of disasters, and the Kepoblican the sum of prosperities. The period met with loud cheers of approval. This land, the speaker continued, nevci dreamed of such prosperity as now it sees. Capital, the hoary coward, has taken on high confidence and low rates of interest. Every factory i making more goods, every wholesale house is tolling more goods, and the voices of development are everywhere calling on the brain and brawn of America to labor. Cheers.l There was cover a time when tho sweat of one's brow meant so many dollars, and when every dollar meant so much. Cheers.! In every dollar there is more clothes, more hats, mora boots, more snoes, more linen, more Hour, more meat, more medicine, quinine, etc. I cheers and less bile, less want and less democracy than ever before. Cheers. The American citizen has never had more of earth's bhesings than ha has today. We are heirs of the achievements of the past. We have no time to waste on experiments which in tbe past hate broken ths test tubes of theory and spilled tbe eating acids ot experience upon the forces of tho country. Wo have no tune to try again wild theories or repeat the blunders of tbe paL We have no time to spend half out liveji finding out we were mistaken, and the other half in trving to roctify the results of our mistakes. We nt-ed, said the speaker, all our energies for the duties of the hour. Hut would it. -aakeu the speaker, be a mistake to be a Democrat? Ask of Georgo Ticknor Curtis, tbe ablest and xacst venerable student ot our Constitution. Cheera-l Ask Grover Cleveland after next Tuesday, when the suOrages of the American people will have consigned him to tbe dungeon of political oblivion llauchter and applause, and when he will be wondering Where am I at!" IKenewed laughter. I There ia no danger; but the old men will know it would be a mistake. Tbey bave lived through experiences of Democratio making. It ia we young men. who bave been rocked in the prosperity of Kepublican rule, and who know nothing about the past, who must bonder tbe question. 7IIE TARIFF DISCrsSF.Hw Mr. Beveridge than reverted to American tariff history, liefpre the Nation was born there was no tarifl and no factory. Our forefathers, who fought with Washington, were paupers in airbut heroism. Hut their leaders knew that, to be iree, America must be perfectly independent Onr prosperity began with the tanfl of 177'J. When the second war with tireat Hritam began, the boom of Commodore FeTry's cannon was answered with the roar of industry. Then, when under a Dew law, tbe tariff wens down, prosperity went down, ending iu tno woeful period of ruic and hnancial trouble in 1C7. There was a change iu sentiment again, and. with a cheer that Knglaud heard and hated, the people elected the old hero of Tippecanoe itreat cheers! as President, as. blty years later, thev elected tbe hero of Teach Tree Creek, old Tippecanoe's grandson lebeer. and will do so again. ICbeeral The speaker here provoked merriment bv humoron allusion to the fact tnat under proteclion. because it makes good times, the rate of marriages increases. Hut tho tiJe was reversed again, and in lSl came tho Walker intrade taritf. Its evileilects were prevented for a few years by vvar ami laiuine in Europe, and by the discovery ct gold in America. It usually takes war and fauune. aid the speaker, to make Democratic five trade prosperous. Laughter and cheers. The delayed panic caioe in lts"T, in tbe form of bioken businrss credit, idle factories, low prices and unemployed thousands. The speaker then went into aa
