Hon. Seth Low, of Brooklyn, N. IT.,1 T ., whom the democrats are praising because he has declared for Cleveland and Thunnan, is an importer of foreign goods. If Clevelaud and his party succeeds and the tariff is removed, Mr. Low and his class can import more foreign made goods and make more money. It is self interest that controlls him.

The Republican party' was the agent that destroyed slavery. It made labor honorable and exalted the laboring man. It is opposed to monopolies, trusts and all combinations against the people t and every honest, honorable and upright man can vote for Harrison and Morton. Let the Republican watch cry be “vim, vigor and victory.” ... . "... “Billy Owen voted against tariff reform. —Dem. Sentinel. Free-trade, tariff for . revenue only, and tariff reform” are the crydfthe same crowd. Sogarcoat the pill as you will,* the people who love America, American

primiplas, Amerioan laborers, native or naturalised, more than English, will not vote for fraudulent tariff reform. ' The Democratic party would ; takjV the tariff off wool, but not off sugar. Most of the ivqpj is proi dtjfied in Hip north, but the sugar jin the south, who;e the party has i its sure friends. It would destroy the business of the wopl miser but I malio richer the manufacturer of woolen gopds. It would take the tariff oft the wool of the South American or -hut not off the blanket of the poor American.

Ex-Governor Porter has stated positively thut he will not run fox Governor, this year. Although this decision of Mr. Porter’s will bo a disappointment to the Republicans of the state, generally, it does uot lonve them without plenty of good material to fall back upon. With such men ns Qol. Robertson, Major Sleele, Will Cumbock, Gen. Hovey, John 31. Butlor rikl several others, equally available, there is no reason to fear that a good man be nominated. When the Prohibitionists were looking about lor some one to put on their national ticket who would do the dirty work for the Democrats, by abvising the Republicans, they ovey-reached themselves in choosing the Rev. scallawag, Brooks of Missouri He glories in the fact that he was a Rebel and in the Confederate army, but the ‘'Thanks God he was never so low as to have been a Republican.” He is a good mate for that other Reverend dishonest demagogue, Jasper S. Hughes, of Indiana.

The query of Rodger Q. Mills, iu a speech in New York City, concerning his bill which has passed the lower house of Congress, wa6, “Hoes this look like free trade?” Tho Mills bill declares for free trade in lumber, wool, salt,flax, hemp, jute, cement, potash, lime, brick, meats, game, poultry, peas, beans, stone and about one hundred other articles produced in this country, and most of which would be produced in sufficient quantities for home consumption if properly’protected. The answer to Mr. Mills’ querry is furnished by the bill itself, as the above facts clearly show. It docs look like Free Trade. And it is free trade just as far as considerations of political expediency would permit its authors to go in that direction.

From the date of the lauding upon Plymouth Rock until 1860, the value of all property—lands, houses, merchandise, money, everything enumerated |n the United States as property—amounted to $16,159,616,068 or $5.14 for each man, woman and child. In ISBO, after the bloody and disastrous war of the rebellion, in which hundreds of thousands of lives were lost and billions of property used or destroyed, -the total values had increased to $43,642,000,000 or $8.70 per capita. From 1870 to 1880 the increase of value was over seventeen billions. Sixty years of the time, prioT'tcr4B6o, the Democratic party ruled the country. If that party with free trade most of the time, could not increase more than sixteen billions in sixty years, why should that party with its past record and its free trade tendencies be kept in power, when un-, der Republican rule with a protective tariff, values increased over seventeen billions in ten years?

Much to Encourage It.

The Prohibition party goes into the fight this year with much to encourage it —New Era. Well, yea. When King George issued a proclamation for thanksgiving at the close of the KeVoltftionary war, an old Quaker called on him and ashed what he had to be thankful for. *ls it because thee has lost thirteen colonies; or is it because 50,000 of thy subjects -have beeu-fellod; oria iibeeausetif the great national debt that has been created; or U itbe—” *‘l&»ldy friend William,” replied the king, “It is because things ate no worse.” On this principle the Prohibition

third party has muoh to encourage it. According to the figures given in the Voice, the vote in lowa fell off from 1,405 in 188 fl, to Ill; in Maryland, from 7,195 t 04,272; in Nebraska, from 8,175 to 6,500; in New Jersey, from 19/808 to 12,600; in Pennsylvania, from 82,458 to 18,474; in Kentucky, from 89,942 (in 1885, no election in i 880,) to 8,390; in Iwlinnnp tljs, from 168 to 99; in Rhode inland, from 2,58 f in 1886, to 1,330 'J he encouraging thing 4s that it did not fall off in Mausahusetts, or New York, or Ohio, at all, and that it did not sass off any. worse in those states. It has much to encourage it. —Indiana Christjan Advocate.

The Free Trade Plea of Cheapness.

The free trade advocates claim as the chief merit of proposed tariff reduction that it will reduce prices. And in this they are at least partially correct. The recent experience bf England under the fiscal policy now advocated for this country shows that cheaper wheat from India, cheaper meat from America, cheaper wool from Australia and South America, have made unprofitable lauds at home; that values of English farms have fallen off 40 to 70 per cent while each year large tracts are withdrawn from tillage. -If a like result of cheapness is to follow an approach to free trade here, an alternative- is presented which it is well for a large class of our people to seriously consider before aiding to strike down the policy under which our country has hitherto made such advances in wealth and greatness. We may well be appalled in contemplating a shrinkage in real estate values in the United States to one half the extent experienced in England, and the 15sses of farms and homes it would entail upon those industrious toilers who have incurred debts in securing homes for themselves and families.- Under a decline q£ one fourth its present value, the* man who had bought a home for S2OOO, and by years of industry and saving paid SI,OOO, would still find himself owing SI,OOO for property worth but $1,500. In the midst of the “cheapness” with which he had been cajoled, the payment of this sum would be more difficult than the Original $2,000 under the existing conditions of ready sale of products and fair returns for labor. If the adoption of the English policy by the United States should be followed by one half the redaction in real estate values that England has experienced within the past few years, mortgaged farms and homes would revert by thousands to creditors, who, like the landlords of England, would permit what could not be rented to go out of tillage. - In no other country than ours does so large a percentage of farmers own the lands they cultivate. In no other country is there so large a proportion of workingmen who own the homes they occupy. In no other country does the fiscal policy so decidedly favor the man who honestly and industronsly endeavors to better his condition in life.- Nowhere else in the world can the laborer get so many of the necessaries and comforts of life for a day’s work as here in the United States. All this we are asked to menace by adopting a policy that has thrice .brought disaster to the business of this country; a policy, with but one aggressive advocate among all the nations of Europe—and that one nation to-day presenting within her borders some of the strongest possible arguments against the policy she seeks to enforce upon others. While the Cobden Club and leading British journals are preaching, the benefits of free trade the British farmer is depressed, 800,000 workmen are idle, and the police of London are kept busy suppressing uprisings df made desperate by hearing their children cry for bread. Nothing can be dearer than “cheapness” bought at such a price; nothing more un-American than a policy which makes such a condition possible.

But Will They Do It?

In LSB4 the General Conference adopted a. resolution as explanatory of the attitude of the church towards the liquor traffic, the purr port of which was that we seek its entire prohibition. The experience of four.years had shown that as it stood, it was capable of perversion. To guard against this, while reaffirming the deliverance of 1884 in full, the late General conference expressed an opinion that where prohibition was jpot immediately attainable, we~ihould seek local option. Gen. Clinton B. Fisk, a member of the commit--tee, advocated it and voted for it in the committee, and again advocated and voted for it in the con*

feronee, and it was adopted ummimously. Now, will tfiose who lave been so freely quoting the Disciplin to prove that Methodists onght to support the Prohibition third party, be as assiduous in quoting this resolution to show that Methodists ought to support the Republican party this year in Indiana? The party flas declared for local option in Indiana. Oar Constitution, ns construed by theSapretne Cbur*-, will -not permit prohibition even indirectly. {Sweet vs. City of Wabash, 41 fnd,, 7.) Local option is our only chance. The Supreme Court has Sustained local option, f Groech Z vs. ihc State . 42 Ind., 047.) But will they do it? All will who are more desirious to secure the best legislation possible under the Constitution, than to defeat the Republican party.— Indiana Christian Advocate. — i

“FREE WHISKY.”

By a little sleight-of-hand St. Paui can be made to endorse theft. Cut off the last two words of this comnjftnd, “Let lijm that stole steal no more,” and the thing is done. In the same way a couple of larcenies and a forgery or two will make “free whisky" out of the Republican platform. The tariff plank reads: “If there shall remain a larger revenue than is requisite for the wants of the government, we favor the entire repeal.of the internal. taxes rather than the surrender of any part of our protective system at the joint behests of the whisky trusts and the agents of pauper manufacture.” Now, cut off the first apd last clauses, raise the little “w in we” to a capital, and put a period after the words “protective system” (which an’t there,) and the thrng is done a£ain. Next to filling a Chinese laundryman with free whisky and paying him to “Hallah for Hallison,” this is the brightest thing accomplished up to date in the Democratic campaign of 1888. Next.
