The stairway caucuses between ihe editor of the Pilot and the Democratic heelers are still of frequent occurence. The same old gang that counselled and helped kill the defunct Democrat and the earlier Message, are now the regular advisors of the Pilot.

A Correction.

The Republican was mistaken last week in the editorial paragraph in relation to the committee which solicited money for the Alliance mass-meeting. Mr. E. P. Honan was nob a member of the committee and instead of him Mr. G. W. Goff was the third member. We were led into the error as to the names by the statement of a prominent and entirely reliable business man, who gave the names in good faith, but was himself mistaken. We may further add here that this committee was appointed by the Rensselaer Business Men’s Assoc tion, a fact which we were not aware of until after the paper containing the erronious paragraph above mentioned, was published. We are therefore free to state that there was no Democratic politics in the movement to raise money for the mass-meeting—although there has been considerable very dirty Democratic politics made out of our error in regard to the matter, aud by those who knew perfectly well that our statement was based on an error and was not an intentional misstatement

The Democratic Sentinel comes - to the relief of his eo-laborator in the Democratic vineyard, the Pilot editor, by suggesting that J udge Hammond, Treasurer W ashburn and other leading Republicans were once Democrats, and the Pilot eagerly avails itself of the suggestion. There is a vast difference, however, in the two oases. Hammond and Washburn left the Democratic party forever, at a time when its rank and open disloyalty was such that every true lover of his country ought to have followed their example, Their change was from honorable and patriotic motives, and the reasons therefor are known of all men. In the easeof the Pilot man however, his change was made between the time of leaving New Castle, where he was “know only as an earnest Democrat” and of his arrival at Rensselaer, where he professes to be known as an advocate of the People’s Party; but where the evidence constantly accumulates that the professed change is not a reality of conviction but merely something assumed for what present money and prospective emoluments there may be in it The cases are not at all similar. Hammond and Washburn left the Democratic party because they loved their country. The Pilot man left, (or pretends to have left) the same party because he loved the boodle.

The Pilot has discovered that tl}6 Republicans of Jasper county are very anxious to get rid of the e ditor of their county paper, The Republican. We remember very well that the late lamented Rensselaer Democrat and previous to that The Message both claimed to have made the same discoverv. S trange to say, however, both those able publications have passed into the limbo of things that were, while The Republican is still here and likely to be here when the memory of the unprincipled sheet known as the People's Pilot will have become a “putrid reminiscence,” like those earlier prototypes above mentioned. There is a marked similarity, by the way, in many respects between the bla ckguardism of this last new combination scheme organ and that of the previous ones, and it s h ows that most of it is suggested by the same foul minded gang.

WHY I AM A PROTECTIONIST.

W ritten for the American Economist. By Hon. J. X. Dolph, United States from Oregon. I am a Protectionist because in our history I trace all our prosperity as a nation to the Protective system and all our periods of financial and business distress to the abandonment or threatened abandoment of that system: Because as I read history, all experience shows that a nation can only he prosperous or become wealthy or long remain-so under a system which protects the labor of its citizens, creates diversified industries, and enables it to produce at home largely the articles it consumes; Because I believe it to be the duty of the government and wise statesmanship to provide, so far as legislation will accomplish it, that The people who labor with their hands and who in this country are in a majority and are to control the destiny of this Government, and upon whom the prosperity and perpetuity of the nation depend, shall be permitted to do our work, instead of foreigners across the sea, and to receive for the same such compensation as will enable them to live comfortably, educate their children, and prepare them to perform their duties as American citizens intelligently and independently.

STAND BY PROTECTION.

No surprise seems justified by the fact that the McKinley tariff does not suit the men who have assumed the task of “tariff reform” in accordance with the British st andard. Framers of the existing law found inspiration closer home than Europe, and they laid a tariff along those lines indicated by the founders of our Republic and the law makers in its first Congress. Of course this could not be done without exciting opposition from free trade attorneys, as such Opposition is the only excuse for their existence. But the real facts of the situation, at any time since the passage of the new tariff law, have in no wise warranted their bitter opposition to its enactment or their determined efforts to secure its repeal. Immediately following its passage, and before some of its most important provisions were in force, its influence for good was manifested in the renewed assurance given to capital that the great body of American voters might still be relied on to maintain the traditional defences against foreign competition made necessary by the advanced standard of wages and living prevailing in this country. In many localities factories long idle | or materially restricted in output j by enforced division of the domes- j tie market with foreign com petit- j ors, were given new life, skilled operatives found opportunity for steadier employment than before at wages enabling them to live as becomes American citizens, without any material advance in the cost of manufactured product as they reack the hands of ultimate consumers. Never in' the history of this country could more of the necessar-

ies and luxuries of life be obtained by honest effort than since the McKinley bill became law, despite the early prophesies of its opponents that the reverse of this would follow its passage, and their subsequent efforts to insure confirmation of their dolesome predictions. In the face of this array of facts free trade promoters serve notice of a continuance of their crusade against the policy by which all of this has been brought a'bout. By way of preliminaries, threadbare arguments are being patched into shape, oft-refuted prophesies are being placed in the mouths of spokesmen, and the hobgoblin of high prices is marched to the front to scare voters into support of free foreign trade. In short, history is to repeat its record of pest efforts to substitute British political economy for the policy of protection for home industry under which our country has made its phenomenal advancement. Let patriotic voters see to it that the same page shows that history shall further repeat itself by recording the overwhelming defeat of this renewed attempt at checking the prosperity of the world’s greatest Republic.

Intelligent farmers will watch with some interest the reported attempt of the Alliance to corner the wheat marker by instructing its members not to sell until 51.25 a bushel can be obtained. Of course the project will fail, because there are too many farmers to make the combine lasting. Besides this, WhfitTs the dlfferencein principle between a trust formed by farmers and a trust formed by manufacturers? It won’t do to denounce trusts and combines for one class and favor them for another.—Rochester Republican.

The Facts About It.

Our Democratic and AngloMugwump contemporaries are making or trying to make a great deal of the alleged fact that the appropriations of the late Republican. Congress amounted to more than five hundred millions of dollars for each two years of its existence. As a matter of truth a considerable share of this money was appropriated to. pay up arrears of the former Democratic administration. But, setting that aside, there is not a pretext, or hint or intimation by democrats, or anybody else, that any of the money thus appropriated has been stolen, or is to be expended dishonestly. The great bulk of it goes out in wages so mechanics, soldiers, sailors, penioners, and so forth, makes comfort in families of the poor and keeps money circulating among business men m the South and North. One of the largest appropriations was made for the muchneeded improvements in Galveston harbor, the important seaport of a state which gives something like 200,000 democratic majority. ... And the bulk of- this money, thus circulated among wage earners, is collected through custom houses, from men and women who are rich enough to wear ftnpoited clothes, indulge in imported jewelry and fill their houses with European bric-a-brac. Such is the truth about “The Billion.” — New York Press.

THE NEW DEMOCRATIC ALLY.

Indisputable Evidence that the People’s Party is Assisting the Free-Trade Party. New York Press. The course of the Farmers’ Alliance leaders in the South has been often cited in these columns as demonstrating the fact that the Alliance is being nourished as an ally of the Democratic party for the purpose of dividing the Republican vote in the Northern and Western states, and so Bringing about Democratic victory. The Southern Alliance men have invariably declared opposition to the third-party movement, and insist that while they are determined toput Alliance men into office they will do it by nominating Alliance men for office on the Democratic tickets in their States. In other words though Alliance men they are democrats still. At the same time, encouragement has been given to the Alliance leaders in Republican states to stand out for a third-party movement. The scheme is so transparent that the veriest tyro in politics can discern its purpose. There is evidence fresh from Ohio that the Alliance and the Democratic party are working together for Republican defeat The witness is the man who is most entitled to know the situation, Governor Campbell, the

Democratic, nominee for re-elec-ion. In an interview telegraphed from Pittsburg to a New York Democratic journal he is quoted as sayiDg: “Governor Hill will also take a hand in our campaign, as will also 'Congressman Jerry Simpson, of. Kansas, and Senator PeffeSjf Messrs. Cleveland and Hill will lx? invited by the Democratic party; the. other two wjll be brought into the slate by the Farmers’ A 1 banco. The Alliance is very strong with us now, and is hand in hand with the df mocrats. It will nominate no ticket this year.” When. Governor Campbell can speak so confidently of the Alliance plans in Ohio, and so emphatically claim that the Alliance is working “hand in hand” with the Democratic party in that State, it is time that the Republicans who may have been deluded into affiliation with the Alliance movement should get their eyes opened. In every Southern State the Alliance members are avowedly DemocratS-Jmr politics, and rei fuse to leave that party. Now, er one of the principal Northren States, where an election is pending, they are avowed to be operating with Democracy for Republican defeat.

PUBLIC TRUSTS AND PRIVATE FORTUNES.

“AGAINST DAN LAMONT” “ALSO AGAINST SOME OTHERS OF THE CLEVELAND MEN.” '■= Before Mr. Lamont becomes n candidal e for office there is one thing we would like to have explained. He went to Washington in 1885 a poor man, and he remained there until 1889 on a salary that would not allow of any great savings. He is now said to be a millionaire, and was said to be a millionaire almost immediately after the close of the Cleveland Administration. How did he get his money? The case of Mr. Cleveland has been something of a puzzle to plain people. He had a very moderate fortune when nominated for Governor, and, according to common report, spent about a quarter of it in the canvass. In the course of five years he went through two Presidential canvasses which must have been costly also. His earnings as Governor and President in six years were $220,000, a handsome sum; but his expenditures must have been pretty heavy. Immediately on retiring from office he bought a house in New York and a cottage by the seashore, and took up a style of life that only a very wealthy man could adopt To be sure, he cleared SIOO,OOO out of the Bed Top job; but even that would hardly account for his apparent financial position. His business success while in politics is certainly remarkable, but Mr. Lamont’s is more so. There are other members of the Cleveland Administration who seem to have enjoyed unusual financial prosperity in the service of their country. Apparently these gentlemen found public office not only a public trust but a private Eldorado.—New York Post-Express. It may be only a coincidence, but our older readers will| remember the case of George M. Dallas. He was elected by the vote of his state, Pennsylvania, which was carried by the cry of “Polk, Dallas, Old Pap Shunk and the Tariff of 42.” When the vote of the Senate was a tie on the “Walker Tariff” he passed it, casting his vote as Vice-President, and the ironworkers of Pennsylvania, covering their puddling furnace chimneys with “Dallas night caps,” the empty, flour barrels their wages would no longer fill, moved West. Before his election Mr. Dallas was supposed to be in impecunious circumstances, but he returned to Philadelphia in affluent circumstances after his four years’ service at Washington. Mr. Dallas, however, delivered the goods.— American Economist

IT PAYS To be cautions in the choice of medicines. Many are injured by trying experiments with compounds pagtorting to be blood-purifiers, the principal recommendation of which would seem to be their “cheapness.” Being made np of worthless, though not always harmless, ingredients, they may well he “cheap;” but, in the end, they are dear. The most reliable medicines are costly, and can he retailed at moderate prices, only when the manufacturing chemist handles the raw materials in large quantities. It is economy, therefore, To Use Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, the valuable components of which are imported, wholesale, by the J. C. Ayer Co. from the regions where these articles are richest in medicinal properties. > "It is a wonder to me that any other than Ayer’s Sarsaparilla has a show in the market. If people consulted their own interest, they would never use any other; for It is not only the best, but, on account of its concentrated strength and purity, it is the most economical.”—James F. Duffy, Druggist, Washington st, Providence, R. I. Dr. A. L. Almond, Druggist, Liberty, Va., writes: "Leading physicians in this city prescribe

Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. I have sold It for eighteen years, and have the highest regard for its healing qualities.” "Although fire formula is known to tfae trade, there can he no successful imitation of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. Without having the enormous facilities of the J.JC. Ayer Co., it is impossible for other parties to put together such valuable ingredients, at the low cost of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla It stands at the head of all similar preparar tions.”—Mark A.
