At the last.presidentftl etcoliion Al- | legheney county, Pensy Ivanis, gave Harrison 45,118 votes and Cleveland 21,811). The |rou workers voted for protection at that.time and are now receiving the fruits of it. 150,000 laboring .men idle in that state. And still they come. The latest in political circles is the disaffection of lion. Lucius 11. Swift and A. A. McKane, of Indianapolis, and Hon. Dudley Foulke, of IPchmond, who have placed, themselves on record in New York Evening Post as favoring the election of Cleveland, Mr. McKaue claims that Harrison has deceived the people on his promised revision o£the tariff, while Mr. Swift aud Foulke will vole for Cleveland purely upon Civil Service grounds. Four years ago these gentlemen were couspicious iu their opposition to Cleveland. The democratic central committee of Pike county met at Winslow last Saturday, for the purpose of fixing a date on which to hold the county convention to nominate candidates for county officers. JJhe dale was fixed lor August 6th, and Winslow as the place for holding it. The meeting was a harmonious gathering ot democrats from all parts of the county, in which they expressed their views upon the situation in their respective townships. Let every democrat now roll tfp ids sleeves, put ou his armor and go forth to win a gloriSns victory., HemcmUer that the convention meets at Winslow on August 6th, at whieb-Unte the democrats of Pike connty'should name a winning ticket. Lay aside all preferences and prejudice and name the candidate who can win votes and who will work riglu up to the close of the polls on November 8th.

The republican party by their high protection mode of protecting infant industries like that of the Carnegie steel works, is robbing the laborer of money that is justly due him. It can not be shown wherein protection protects the laboring man in one instance. Tho farmer has no protection whatever, although the republican stump speaker in this campaign will make a loud mouth about the great crops produced this tear, and bow the republican party has protected the people from the great pools in the foreign countries and bow they can get twenty-five pounds of sugar for ine dollar. But they will not stir a , ——1~inn! ‘"“>‘ the farmer is word about uow*(S^^ protected on what he li no, that is out of their line of business. There was a time when the people conhl be hood winked,but that is past, the people now do their own thinking and reading. You may fool the American people once or twice but not all the time.. Jkpatiia D. New .appellate judge of the Second district, and candidate on tho democratic ticket for the same position, took his life while laboring under temporary insanity, last Saturday morning at his homo in Vernon. Judge New was appointed Appcllate Judge from the Second Indiana district by Gov. Ilovey some two reat-s ago. He retained his residence at Vernon, but during the terms or tliis court resided at Indianapolis. He was popular, aud by the last Democratic State convention was nominated for Supreme Judge. Of late lie lias complained to a few of his friendof being troubled with Bright’s disease and that he feared it would cost his life. He had been feeling bad for some days and at 6 o'clock this morning he arose and dressed and a half hour latter jvhile alone in his room placed a rcvoicer to his head and fired. Death came instantly. If lie left any lelter iit lias not been found. He was about J7 years of age and leaves a wife and family of several children.

Next week The Democrat will be able to give a full report of the republican congressional convention which mot at Evansville yesterday. here has been a Very biller feeling stirred up in l*iko county in regard to the candidates. At first it was concluded to put Mr. Goodlet Morgan forward as Pike county’s candidate, but the more it was talked of the less it was thought that he was a strong possibility. M>. Morgan is a good man, and recognized as a strong man at home, but outside of the county be would be very unpoutilur. So Mr. Morgan was chained down. The next man mentioned was the lion. Franklin B. Posey. Posey was congrearcian about thirty days one time, and-ot the fact that he will more from Pike county to Vanderbnrg they think jyiji make hint strong in both counties. TUe jdea is a very thin cue, and will not work when llte convention meets. In al) probability the] candidate will be ^‘whieham of Gibson county! Posev Is not in the hunt for (lie congressional nomination.

Carnegie Industry by IU own cl bum up and maintained <yt .the proposition that it would offer it* wort meo a condition of superior comfort if the Amertenn people wonld take themselves on their iron purchases. The American people have kept their part of the agreement. Is the Carnegie industry keeping Its part? We say no. The general condition proves.H. tlr. Carnegie is many times a millionaire. He i)pd his associat s, and generally the Iron owners, of the conutry are millionaires. The fortanes ti.at they have amassed in the business built up and maintained as they continually tell usby thls margin given to them by the tax which the American people lay upon themselves on thoir iron purchases, and without which grass would grow, rust corrupt, etc., etc , have become the marvel of history. Are the workingmen who have wrought in tills business phieorlc with prosperity? Has anyone heard j of any of them retiring after years of toll and j living on his accumulations? Huve the i superior wages pahl to them under thts reciprocal arrangement boon such as to make j a elassof small capitalistsoftiieui? Are they not with gray hairs toiling for their dally bread as they toiled In their youth? Ho they not strive alter a small interruption of work? Is it not plain on the face of it that those iron masters are not keeping theiragreeicent with the American people? We say U is. W e say further that this agreement maintained cow by the people for more than thirty years gives them the right to demand of tills iron interest In Pennsylvania that >t shall accept to reasonable'teriuR, take for a time smaller profits, if the need be, and give those men work. Front the above it will be seen that the protection offered to the laboring man is a humbug and a swindle; that the only persons protected are the monopolists and wealths’ corporations.

Has Fallen Far Short of the Original Expectations. •As Now Enacted, “a Fraud, a Delusion and a Snare.” It Hu Been iu Kffret Over a Year, and : Now Ask the American Farmer If He Has Felt Any Good Effects of the "Sew Markets** Opened for His Products by Such Legislation—He Has Looked Ap Vain. 7 [Written by Judge Lewis Jordan.] Down in Maine there lived on a farm an old man and his wife. The hnsband did not admire Blaine, bnt this was not the ease with the wife. Everything Blaine did met her enthusiastic approv- j al. One day the old farmer returned | from the fields late in the evening and j found his good wife in a fearful state of . excitement. Inquiring the cause, she gleefully announced that some friend had sent her, as a present, a beautiful ‘ lard, and she requested her husband to furnish a name for it. Not being in a very amiable mood because his evening meal had not been prepared by reason of the arrival of the bird, he petulantly sang out, “Name it Blaine, everything is Blaine, Blaine with yon.” So the bird was named'Blaine. A few weeks after, ward the old farmer, upon returning from his work, again found the old lady very much excited, “Blaine,” she exclaimed, “has laid an egg”—reciprocity. A prohibition temperance lecturer tells the above anecdote, and it must, there-. fore, be founded on fact. The kind of bird presented to the old lady is not stated, and its species can j only be coi^pctnred from its habits. It is more than probable that it was a cuckoo, which never builds its own, bnt lays its eggs in some other bird’s nest. The Blaine reciprocity egg was laid in McKinley's nest, and hatched by him much against his will, but who afterwards claimed the bird with beautiful • plumage, as belonging to his brood. It may have been a snipe, and laid eggs which, when hatched, increased. that species of birds used to gull the fellows holding the bag. A wide field for speculation is opened by the failure to give the species of the bird that brought such joy to the old : lady. There can, however, he no con- | troversy over the- statements that it was • a rare bird, which had never before ap-1 peared in the United States, and that it j was a native of the “American hemis- ; phere.” When it first appeared, it was claimed that it could live in the bleak climate of Canada, hut it is now asserted ( that it can early flourish in the countries that lie “south of ns.” It would even chill in the congenial climates of Eu-' rope. I state these facts upon the authority of the celebrated ornithologist, James O. Blaine, and his student in bird lore, Senator Hale, of Maine. There has been, and will continue to be, so much cackling over this reeijaag—' ity egg, that it will to aud compos-, tion, and for whose benefit it was laid, j The McKinley hill passed the house , May 21, 1890, and provided for free! sugar up to and including No. 16 Dutch , standard. Prior to this date, Mr. Blaine 1 visited the ways and means committee rooms and wanted to lay his reciprocity j egg in McKinley's nest. He was driven away, and in a towering rage fled to the rooms of the senate finance committee, smashed his new silk hat on the floor, i and denounced McKinley and the Re-; publican members of the ways and means committee because, they would not let him lay his reciprocity .egg. Mr. Blaine was opposed to the reduc- ! tion of the sugar duty, and was thrown > into a towering rage by the proposition. I His letter to Senator Fry, dated July 11, 1890, denouncing the McKinley bill as it passed the house on the 21st of May, contained these memorable declar-! atioas: It would certainly be a very extraordinary policy on the part of our government j just at tWs time to open onr market with-! ont charge or duty to the enormous crops of sugar raised in the two Spanish I islands. * * * * | But there is not a section or a line in the entire hill that will open the market for another bushel of wheat or another barrel of pork. If sugar is now placed on the free list without exacting important trade concessions in return, we shall elose the | door for a profitable reciprocity against j ourselves.

It is now apparent that 'William McKinley, Jr., can not claim the paternity of the reciprocity egg, although he cackled with delight over it during his canvass for governor of Ohio. On the 18th of .June, 1880. the senate finance committee reported the McKinley hill to the senate with an amendment providing for a tariff tax on sugar. On 1 the 19th of June, Senator Hale, of j Maine, offered an amendment prepared by Mr. Blaine, which read as follows: yj And the president of the United States is hereby authorised, without further legislation, to declare the ports of the United States free and open to all products of any nation of the American hemisphere, upon vfbich no export, duties are imposed, whenever and so long as such nation shall admit to its ports, free of all national, provincial (state), municipal* and other htxes, flour, corn meal, and other breadstuff*, preserved meats, lish, vegetables and fruits, cottonseed ujl, rice, and other provisions, including all articles of food, lumber, furniture, and all other articles of wood, agricultural implements and machinery, mining and mechanical machinery, structural steel and Ilia «t*kl rails, locomotives, railway can and supplies, street cars, refined petroleum, or such other produets of the United States as may be agreed upon. It will he noticed that the abavo amendment embraced Canada, for it is a “Nation of the American hemisphere.” This is important, because it furnishes conclusive evidence that James G. Blaine the high priest of protection, was willing to have free trade with Canada, provided that nation would admit free the articles named in his amendment. But Mr. Blaine soon found his reciprocity egg was too big, and in the face of the language of his amendment, he denied that the bird could live in Canada. Strange as it seems. Senator Sherman stated that if we were to have reciprocity with any conntry, it -should be established with Canada first,1 Mr. Blaine was now jin a quandary. McKinley would not aljow him to lay his egg in his nest and bp fared no better with the senate finance committee. After Seuator Hide dumped It down in the open sedate, opposition sprung np on all rides, the Republican senators from ‘NeVc England faking the lead. For months the Blaine egg laid in the

vigorously peeked by the senators. It abandoned the principle of protection, and was for disguised free trade, ’The shell was strong enough to knock over the “home market” sham, and the dyed-in-the-wool protectionists did not propose that this should he done. But Blaine had proposed reciprocity, and it was surmised that he had the administration of President Harrison at his hack. The doctors of the Republican party held a consultation over the Blaine egg,! and determined as it was then in a state of decomposition it could not be used. | Another egg must be. laid by a different species of lard. Fortunately the bird was suggested by the nam? of one of the senators—Mr. Aldrich. It is well known ‘ that one of the characteristics of the os- ‘ trich is its hiding its head in the sand j when alarmed, thus imagining that its whole body is hid. The new egg would seem to resemble that of the ostrich, and was proposed by Senator Aldrich. His amendment to the McKinley bill was adopted, and is now Section S of the tariff law. Section 9—That with a view to secure reciprocal trade with countries producing ! the following articles, and for this purpose. | on and after the 1st day of January, 1893 , whenever awl so often as the president! shall be satisfied that the government of any country producing and exporting sugars, molasses, coffee, tea and hides, raw and uncuml, and any of such articles, imposes duties or other exactions upon the agricultural or other products of the United Stales which, in view of such free introduction of such sugar, molasses, coffee, tea and hides into the United States, he may deem to be reciprocally unequal and unreasonable, he shall have the power, and it shall be his duty, to suspend, by proclamation to that effect, the provisions of this act relating to the free introduction Of such sugar, molasses, coffee, tea and hides, the production of sueh country for such time as he shall deem just: and in such case, and during such suspension, duties shall be levied, collected and paid upon sugar, molasses, coffey, tea audhii' *, the product of or exported from such designated country as follows, namely: Here follow the specified rates of duties cm sugar, molasses, coffee, tea and hides (now camiug to us free by the McKinley bill), which shall be collected on those articles whenever the president! shall see fit, to-wit: On the best sug.jr, 2 cents per pound (and less rates specified on lower grades and certain rates on molasses); coffee, 3 cents per pound; tea, 10 cents per pound; hides and skins, 11-2 cents per pound. ' The difference between this ostrich! egg and that of the bird of beautiful j plumage named Blaine is so marked that j the most casual observer will notice it. Under the Blaine proposition out ports [ were to be “free and open to ala. products of any nation of the American hemisphere” when such nation shall admit free the long list of articles named in the proposition. The ostrich amendment, which is now the law, confines reciprocity to countries producing sugars, molasses, test, coffee j and hides. Shduld any country prodne- j ing and exporting these articles impose duties or other exactions upon the agricultural or other products of the Vuited 1 States, which the president may deem L reciprocally unequal ntfiTTornihlii. • ■JiMrfSYstlspend the law and collect tariff taxes on their sugar, molasses, tea, coffee . and hides. And this is the ostrich egg over which there has been so much cackling. It was laid to increase agricultural exports and give new markets to the American fanner. -But these new markets were only to be allowed the farmer in the countries “south of us.” The door •was closed on the north and east. Treaties under the reciprocity clause have been in effect mere than a year, and the farmers can answer if they have felt the good effects of the “new markets" ftw their agricultural products. They are looking in vain for the blessings that reciprocity was to shower down on them. Reciprocity gives New England free hides and f-ee rubber for manufacturing purposes, and this was one of the reasons it was adopted. The markets “for another bushel of wheat or a barrel of pork” might be found <on the other side of the big rond, where the people have no bananas and tropical fruits to subsist upon. Sor'th America can not be made to furnish markets for our agricultural products. Reciprocity as now^ enacted ( is “a fraud, a delusion and a snare.” A New Yorker has made a clock from J 34,000 pieces of wood, comprising over j 800 varieties. For sixteen years he has had sailors bringing him rare woods from every quarter of the globe.

THi TAX LAW. The present tax law is a just measure. I Honestly administered its effect will he beneficial. As a political measure it is of doubtful efficiency. It was passed at the urgent request of a great many tax-; payers, without regard to politics. It was voted for by Democrats and Repub-1 beans. It was recommended and signed by a Republican governor. It will in time vindicate itself. The law is not responsible for individual instances of its working hardships. Where it is properly administered, Where all the property is listed and a fair valuation put upon it and where the tax levy is no more than is necessary to' raise the required amount of taxes, there can be no just complaint. And all prop-j erty necessarily includes that of corpo-i rations and individuals.—New Albany j Ledger. _

Onr people -will readily remember the furious onslaught made by Republican < partisans upon the new school hook law. Do yon hear anything about it now? After the next election they will have nothing to say of the new tax law. The Republican party is a party of make-shifts, shams and expedients.— Delphi Times. __. The Indianapolis Journal says there is too much school money raised in this state. It is true that education is no advantage to the Repnhlican leaders. Clarkson says the mass of newspaper readers belong to the Democracy.—Muncie Hyrald. _ -I $34,308.38 represents the amount of increased local taxes collected this, year under a Republican administration to ran affairs in Hendricks county.— | Morgan county Gazette. The corporations and the Republican party and press are opposed to the new tax law, and very good reasons why the workiug men should favor it.—Madison Democrat. The Women’s temple in Chicago, which cost |000,000, was largely paid for out of t the contributions of penny banks, 100,- ! 000 of which wero opened, it is said for j that purpose. I

TARIFF AND WAGES. Dimat Ha In l'»v-toiV \Y»go« and Abroad* Workmen and others have frequently isked, says the Philadelphia Record, to state the difference in factory wages in this country and in Europe. Satisfactory answers could not always be given, because of the unreliability of the data.' Earnings greatly vary with other industrial conditions. In some industries the laily wages are much higher than in athers, while the days of labor are much : less; so that, taking all the year ’round,; the earnings are nearly equal in their j respective employments. At the same time there has been a strong disposition in officials gatherers of statistics to fit them as nearly as possible to the favorite theory at hand. Thus protectionist doctrines have habitually exaggerated the earnings of labor in this county, and depreciated j them in free trade England, in order to t make ont a plausible case for tariff spoliation. In this economic work the protectionist manipulators have carefnlly refrained from producing the statistics of wages in the “protected” countries of • continental Europe, since the results' would have completely overturned their' argument when contrasted with the1 results under the free policy of Great Britain. But Mr. Carroll D. Wright, chief of the department of labor, has just transmitted to President Harrison a comprehensive and exhaustive statistical report upon the comparative condition of work and wages in the United States, Great Britain, Germany, Belgium and Switzerland. Mr. Wright’s authority in this domain of investigation is of the highest character, and to the arsenal of facts which he has collected both parties in the tariff controversy will he obliged to go for ammunition. If the advocates of in of to McKinleyism can find consolation these industrial data, the friends tariff reform will hare no cause grudge it to them. Without further reviewing these statistics at present, let ns take the comparative figures in the cotton industry, for an example. In the United States the average annual earnings of a family in the cotton factories are $653; expenses, $611; net iucome, $17. In Great ( Britain the anunal earning of a family in the same industry are $556; expenses, | $563; net income, $54. In Germany the earnings are $303; expenses, $136; net in- j come, $19. In France, the earnings are $366; expenses, $534; net income, $33. E In Switzerland, the earnings are $353; expenses, $347; net iucome, $11. In the highly protected woolen indus- 1 tries of this country and in the same in-' dnstries in England the wages are lower j than in the cotton manufactures, while in- the iron and glass industries they are . higher. But the j^fettons between earnings and expense^Pre much the some.; fu Germany the average earnings of a family in the Woolen industries amount to $345. and the expenses to $333, leav- [ lug a deficit of $37 at the end -Of.Uiej year. _ " American workingmen, whose ears have fceeu stunned with cries over the ' “blessings” of protection and the; “curse” of free trade in generating pan- j perisni of labor, ean hardly fail to draw an instructive lesson from Mr. Wright’s statistics. While the “protected” workingman in a New England cotton factory has a surplus of $17 at the eud of the year, the victim of “pauper labor” in free trade England has a surplus of $54. Leaving ont of question the miserable condition of labor under the protective systems of Germany ana France, the advocates of tariff spoliation will find nothing to help their argument in this comparison of industrial conditions in 1 the United States aud Great Britain, j While the American cotton spinner i works more hours, and produces more, • he is able td save less than his unprotected rival in free trade England. Is this because he spends more for luxuries and superfluities ? Not at all. The statistics of Mr. Wright show that \ while the workingman aud his family in | the United States expend annually $9.36 for pleasures and recreations, the Eu- j glish workingman expends not leas than $36.30 on the same account. The reason of these differences lies in a tariff system which, in the name of j protection to American workingmen, makes the cost of indispensable neces-! saries of living greater in the United States than they are in free trade En- j gland. While nominally receiving j more money for more extensive labor ! and a greater amount of production,' American workingmen’s wages have | less purchasing power-than have wages • in England because of the insidious taxes upon so many of the necessaries - and comforts of living. Since figures honestly, patiently and intelligently collated will not lie, the ( advocates of tariff spoliation will find a' perfect mine of truth in the figures of Mr. Carroll D. Wright.

A Tariff Problem. How will the high protection people have the face to ask a continuance of ( the McKinley wool tariff, in view of the fact that wool is the lowest ever known ? The wool problem is not a very hard one ! to solve if one considers the whole his- | tory of the prices of that article. The highest prices ever paid for wool have been when it was on the free lisle- The lowest have been wheu attempts hare been made to create an artificial and nnnatnral value by imposing a so- j called protective tariff. .These are the facts.—Bluff ton Banner.
