Rensselaer Republican, Volume 21, Number 6, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 11 October 1888 — A Hollow Sound. [ARTICLE]

A Hollow Sound.

Tlie Democratic cry of “free whisky” is shown to Ik* particularly hollow by the following section (No. 40) of the Mills bill: That all clauses of section 3,244 of the revised statutes, and all laws amendatory thereof .and all other laws which impose any special taxes upon manufacturers of stills, retail dealers in liquors and retail dealers in malt liquors are hereby, repealed. Said a Democratic workingman in New York the other day: “I would rather pay 1 cent more for a dinner pail and establish an industry worth $30,000.000 annually to this nation than continue to support 100,000 Englishmen in making tin plate;,when that number of Americans want employment.” Tho argument is sound. It is sound from the workingman’s standpoint especially, and and it is sound from the standpoint of everv intelligent American citizen. i • i The following appears in a special London cable to The New York Sun, Democratic, and will show how the English feel toward Cleveland: “He- had to make an anti-English show ,tq keep Harrison out of the White house, biit at Ixjttom lie is our friend and will do* what is right for us by giving us free trade, and so let’s keep Canada quiet and help Cleveland by giving »the appearance of his having silenced us.” . ■* 'Twelve years ago the Hon. D. J. Steyvart. of Durand, 111., was elected rej piesontative in tin* legislature. Six years : ago Mr. Stewart joined the political Prohibitionists. and was their nominee for the legislature lind came near being successful. Mr. Stewart now residi's in lrfk kford, and declares that he is well suited with Get). Harrison and will vote the Rvpublicaii ticket entire this year. The Hobart JS. Y.) Independent has beeti published For more than three years and lias lieen jicrfiirtly independent itl jtolilics. During the present caiiqKiign, however, it will support the national! state and county tickets nominated by tlie Republican partv, believing the ]niiM'i)di‘H Ret forth by that |*irty to be the true policy: Protection u> American homes and American industries.
