STAND BY PRINCIPLES. DmMnqr Hh Dene Mach, bat Thera Is SUM Work to Do. s The Globe is cheered to watch the readiness with which the people respond to the appeal to support Democratic principles. The mists and fogs are rolling away. It was no miracle that happened i$ 1893. The people then recorded. their deliberate judgment They have not changed it since. In just as far as the Democratic party is true to the trust then confided to it, refuses-to go wandering after^alse gods and holds by its historic faith, in just so far can it expect to receive the enthusiastic support and the overwhelming vindication which were then its portion. We are in receipt of letters constantly which tell us how the masses are encouraged. Hold fast by honest money and a progressive lowering of the tariff, leading to free trade, write the people, and the people will stand by the Democratic party. It is true. t That is all that the people ask—to stand by your principles, with courage, with loyalty, with truth, and the result will take oare of itself.' Observe the consequences of Republican^ legislation within the last few years. -We advise the voter to look it over and see what he makes of the vannted policy of McKinleyism as related to American industry. It was a robber tariff at one end and robber appropriations for undeserving beneficiaries at the other that caused us such manifold disasters. It has been the hard task of Democracy to repair these errors and start the country once more on the highway to prosperity. The tide is with us now. All that we need is to stand by the old colors. No new experiments, no departure from Democratic principles. Low taxes, sound money and a tariff producing only snch revenue as will meet the necessities of the government economically administered, equal justice to all and special favors granted by the government to none—that is not only Democracy, but it is a platform that is f^ire to win the approval of the American people. The way is open for the Democratic party to go in and win.—St. Paul Globe.

LESSC4N IN PROTECTION. J'rHnc* and Switzerland Have Hurt Inter- ^ national Commerce. The gratifying results of really protective tariffs, as revealed by the operation of the duties lately imposed by France and Switzerland, must have escaped the attention of Mr. McKinley and his followers in this country. Early in 18112 the prospects were that a kind of “reciprocity” tariff would be adopted by the French and Swiss governments, each country conceding to the other the ^lowest rates accorded to the “most favored nation,” and even greater reductions upon certain articles. So far as the Swiss were concerned, this compromise was accepted, but the French protectionists were on the alert and‘defeated this bold ; attempt to introduce free trade in disguise.

The miunmuu tariff, alter having lasted 11 mouths, was succeeded by a regime of retaliatory duties, in which the Swiss rather exceeded the French in the vigor of their measures, and this regime hap pjrevailed since the beginning of 1893. The Importations from Switzerland into France, which had averaged about 103,000,000 francs, fell in 1894 to 67.000. 000. The exports from Frauee were reduced from 238,000,000 francs to 160.000. 000, The Swiss figures do not correspond with the French, owing to gome differences in methods of computation, but according to their returns the imports from France fell from 123,000,-_ 000 to 75,000,000 francs, the exports declining from 178,000,000 to about 102,©00,000. Roughly speaking, the commerce between the two countries has been reduced by a scientific application of pro-5* teetion rather more than one-third. The advocates of high tariffs are apt to err through confining their observations to one country, but this example will enable them to explain to their followers how the quality of protection is twice blessed, blessing those that give and those that take.—New York livening Post. _ Signs of Prosperity. In connection with a careful review of present industrial conditions, the Chicago Tribune (Rep.) says: “The wages of not less than 250,000 men in the United States have been advanced materially within the last 90 days. Careful inquiry throughout the oouutry indicates an advance averaging nearly 12 per wnt. The Tribune has compiled a list which embraoes more than 250 firms which have within the last few weeks advanced the wages of their employees. A notable feature of this great industrial , improvement is that the wages of these 250,000 men have with hardly an exception been advanced voluntarily by the employers. The season has been remarkably free from strikes. ” McKinley Has Lost His Grip. Governor McKinley has lost his grip on his own state and lias therefore been relegated to the ranks of the “has beens” in a political sense. The most he can now aspire to is a eabinetcy, or perhaps a mission to some one of the foreign countries which he sincerely believes are our natural enemies, just as | he believes that their people are paupers and should be made to pay our taxes.—Philadelphia Record.

The AdnuKW In Wage*. ‘ The tariff reform committed of the Reform club of New York, in issuing a partial list of wage advances that have taken plaee sine? Sept. 1, 1894, remarks that “the wage advances occurred first in woolen mills. This was undoubtedly the result of free wool. As might have been expected, the advance next spread to the other textile industries. Since then it has become more general. ” , Burled For All Time. What hopes have its Mends of a resurrection of McKiuleyism when the very wages continue to rise against it all over the country?—Philadelphia Times.

!the price of sugar |T CAN NO (.ONGER BE DETERMINED BY THE TRUST. ■ Protection Orgui Umr« Ch*n**d Tkeir Tone—No Loni«r Fear For Um Poor Maa'i Brook but Table—Now the “Fooi* Sugar Trust Gets Their Sympathy. The fact that the new tariff act protects the consumers of sugar in the United States against any unjustifiable enhancement in the prices of fcfined sugars by the Sugar trust of this country is being demonstrated in a way that i must bring confusion to those persons | who but a short time ago were designating it as an act drawn in the interest of that great monopoly, says the Philadelphia Record. A recent increase in the wholesale price of ^refined sugars in the American markets has already had the effect of bringing into competition with such sugars substantial quantities of foreign refined sugars, the importation of which was practically prohibited by the terms of the McKinley act. It is now manifest that when the Sugar trust issued its recently published edict that its brokers must not handle foreign refined sugars it fully realized that the barrier to competition erected by the McKinley act had been swept away by the new tariff, and that it could no longer arbitrarily determine for itself what prices should be paid for refined sugars by consumers in this country. The New York Journal of Commerce in its comments upon the sugar market during last week said: “Fully 15,000 tons of foreign refined sugars have been plaeed, and probably more, with additional negotiations pending. This amount is quite large enough to be conspicuous as a sign of further possibilities, and there can hardly be a doubt that a feeling of independence has been created toward domestic refined sugars among those who can use the imported article. ”

One of the foremost of the journals which advocate MeKinleyism,and which within the last six months have many times designated the new tariff law as a Sugar trust act, in a recent issue editorially referred to these importations of foreign refined Bugars as follows: "Under our fool tariff the German refiner can undersell the American refiner in New York, and we cannot change the absurd law by a stroke of a pen, as can be done by most of our foreign competitors. ” So that the fears and lamentations so freely expressed in print during the last ten months by the enemies of tariff reform that the new tariff would increase the urice of sugar for the poor man’s bri’fcfast table have been changed by the inexorable logic of events into a wail that under the workings of that act the poor man will get his sugar for his breakfast table from foreigners at such low prices that the much to be pitied American Sugar Refining company cannot successfully compete for the trade, and that, unfortunately, as a Democratic president ia in office any change of the law in the direction of giving more powers and privileges to trusts and monopolies is out of the question. Every day makes it clearer that the McKinley act, which imposed no duty upon raw sugar, yet placed a prohibitory tax of half a cent a pound on the refined sugars consumed by the masses of the people, was the real Sugar trust act. It produced no revenue for the government from sugar and left the prices of the only kinds of sugar that the people use entirely at the mercy of monopoly. The new tiiriff act, by its duty of 40 per cent ad valorem nppu all kinds of sugar, gives the government $40,000,000 yearly revenue, and by the imposition of only one-eighth of a cent a pound additional duty upon refined sugar protects the masses of the people by means of foreign competition from any aribtrury advance in the price of this necessary of life. No calamities, but benefits, have come to the people of this country by reason of the provisions of the new tariff, and the time is near at hand when the authors of the organized campaign of slander and falsehood which has been waged against it for political advantage in a time of great business distress will be overwhelmed in the indignation aroused by their detected fraud. Thre* Booms In D*n|w. The improvement in business under a reduced tariff ought to be as disastrous to the Reed and Harrison booms as to the McKinley boom. It was through Reed’s unscrupulous work that the infamous McKinley bill was passed, hnd Harrison did not scruple to complete the iniquity by approving it What the G. O. P. needs is a nominee who was in no way conspicuous in the doings of the Reed congress.—-St. Louis Post-Dis-patch. __ The Sun Shines Bright. "The political sky, which was so cloudy and threatening a short time ago,” says the Baltimore Sun (Dem.), "is beginning to clear, and the ‘indications’ for Democracy in 1896—if we may look so far ahead—are distinctly favorable to it in the great presidential struggle, * ’_

WHE4E THE BLAME BELONGS. TIm» Ocfidt la a Les»*J Uft by Republican Extraraymnce. When Tanner said “God help the surplus,’’ he fastened by confession ou the | Repablican party all the blame for the j deficit which Secretary Carlisle finds at the close of the fiscal year. Treasury embarrassments caused by i the mortgages of the Reed congress predestined the panic of 1893 and the deficit of 1895. It was an embarrassed treasury which engendered the distrusts Of the government’s ability to continue redemption of currency notes. It was a McKinley tariff which hampered trade and prevented a normal increase of customs revenues, l^oug before Harrison vacated the White 11 House every financier in America perceived that trouble was impending and that the government must | issue bonds of dofanlt in its payments. | Harrison’s secretary of the treasury had ; the bonds ready and only by sharp practice was able to drag along until the 4th of March. 1893. Republican extravagance made a deficit and a panic which, by reducing trade and revenue receipts, prevented the immediate success of Democratic efforts to administer the government economically and honestly. A Democratic tariff is encouraging | trade. The government’s receipts are increasing. Wages are rising. Mines and factories are busy. The farmer is getting better prices. The merchant is selling more goods. Exports are more active. American securities are attracting purchasers. A Republican administration left financial confusion and universal gloom. The Democratic administration will leave confidence in the good faith of the government, a balance in the treasury, a prosperous condition of

business and a nopelul people. If the policy of the Harrison administration and the Fifty-first congress had continued to this date, it would have increased the national debt by hundreds of millions, if it could indeed have avoided the disgrace of a suspension of specie payments. We are dealing with a Republican deficit. Under Democratic management we shall wipe it out and recuperate from its effects, as we overcame the Republican panic and restored the activity of business. —St Louis Republic. PARTY SELFISHNESS. RejrablicaiMi Admonished That Their Methods Are Dangerous, In his brief letter to the Tammany society of New York President Cleveland utters one thought which is characteristic. “Our danger is found in the recklessness of selfishness,” he says, “mid in insidious appeals to popular passion and thoughtlessness.” At no other period dn the history of the country has there been so much need for admonition on that point. There are pretenders before the public-whase sclfishuess is a menace to the good order of society and the progress and prosperity of the people. To such the words quoted are no doubt intended to apply. During the last four months the march of prosperity has been regular. But it lavs been resisted at every step by the selfish agents of a political organization which hopes to thrive at the expense of the miseries of the people. The increase in wages has been denied, the industrial activity disputed and the ( commercial improvement belittled, in : the hope that the public might be deceived into the condemnation of the party in power. This is the selfishness that stands as a peril to the people of the country and threatens the perpetuity of the government. * The president was right in addressing the people on this point at this time. There has been much suffering during the past three years because of industrial paralysis and business distress, and the attempt to prolong the period of disaster is a crime. But the selfish hopes of political advantage influence a large proportion of the public press to a course which produces that result. The admonition will probably be lost on them, but it will awaken an intelligent public to a realization of the harm they are doing.—Kansas City Times.

A Wldespreadinc Wave. L Westward the tide of prosperity has taken its way, and Already it is splashing against the Golden Gate. A dispatch from San Francisco reports a Voluntary advance of 10 per cent in the wages of the men employed in the Pacific Rolling mill and adds superfluously that “the | better outlook in trade is the cause.” | There ip no question as to the cause, and as to the improvement it is no longer a matter of “outlook. ” It is a present, j existent faot, and it has overspread the country from coast to coast almost with the rapidity of a “wave” predicted by the weatlmr bureau.—Philadelphia Record. . _ , ■ Financial Object Lesson. Referring to the recent sale of government bonds, the Providence Journal (Ind.) remarks: “The whole transac- ! tion, so fax at least, has been extremely : creditable to the intelligence and ability | of all parties concerned in it. The conntry has hud an object lesson in high finance which ought to be of great use to it hereafter in more than one direc- | tion.” ____ A JoyfUl Fourth. The furnace men of the Illinois Steel company, who Were granted a 10 per Cent increase of pay on July 1, were three days later surprised with an additional raise of 15 per cent, making 25 per cent in all A happy Fourth, t?uly l —Philadelphia Record.

A Wonderful Story of an , Old Lady. St. Joseph, Mich., May 9,1894. Lyon Medicine Co^ Indianapolis, Ind.z I wish to congratulate you in being in possession of such a grand medicine as LYON’S SEVEN WONDERS. I was in very poor health for a long time, could eat no solid food, and scarcely anything else; had no appetite, but a continued distress in my stomach, and was very poor in flesh. Your remedy being recommended by one who had tried them, I got a box of same, and can cheerfully and gladly say, after using them, the dis-« tress in my stomach entirely ceased, my appetite increased wonderfully, and I gained in flesh very perceptibly. I am a lady seventy-four years of age, and can say that LYON’S SEVEN WONDERS have given me a new lease on life. 1 feel grateful toward you and your remedy. It does more than you claim for it, and no words of praise can do it justice. Qratefully yours, Mrs. Cynthia Ransom.
