Gov. McKinley remarked at, Minneapolis that all the principles of the first Republican national platform are now incorporated in the laws of the land. And no party dayes come forward and demand the repeal of any one of them. ■> . • “The present seems to be an era oflow prices,’’say the Chicago Journal of Commerce. “Manufactured articles of all kinds are selling at figu res which a few years ago were far below the actual cost of production. What has brought about this state of affairs? The reason must be found in the beneficent working of our Tariff system, which has encouraged the bui.ding of factories and the use of homemade goods.” It would appear that the occupation of the calamityite is no longer remunerative. General Sickles, of New York, stopped long enough in his electioneering at the Chicago Democratic Convention to declare that the duty on. champagne is particularly burdensome, because millions of bottles are shipped to Europe every year to be shipped back with foreign labels on them. We are glad to admit that in one case at least the Tariff is - a Tax, when it taxes the un-Americanism of onr millionaire champagne drinxers, who scorn to drink wine bearing an American label, aud drink the. with avidity stam ped“imported. ’ ’ Daring the four years he was m office, Cleveland was'Yraadicapped by a Republican Senate. He was. unable to procure the repeal of a single Republican law or the enactment of a solitary Democratic measure. 1 With his hands so well tied,it was not possibl for him to inflict on the country such injury as would certainly follow the election of a Democratic candidate this year. The situation now is such that the Democratic candidate, if elected next November, will carry both branches of Congress with him, and the country must then le-rn what Democratic 1 rule is in all that the name implies. - There is no mistaking the significance of the the money plank in the Republican platform It says what it means and means what it says in the declaration that the “Republican party demands the use of both gold and silver a£ standard money, with such restrictions aud under such provisions, to te determined by legislation, as will secure the maintenance of the

parity » f values of the two metals, so that the purchasing and debtpaying power of the dollar, whether of silver, gold or paper, shall be at all times equal.” The Republican party favors the circulation of the largest quantity of gold and silver that cast be kept at par, but not the coinage of a single dollar under conditions that will make it worth lest thaii 100 cents.

There is no higher Democratic authority than “the Louisville Courier-Journal, and in’its issue of June l l4, it says;- “The history of an organization is the best index to its futurecourse/’ This is eminently correct doctrine and it? is for that very reason that the Republican National Committee is circulating documents which recite the history of the Democratic party with great fullness and ac-curacy.-WbeSjTor instance shown that the Democratic party has never adopted a tariff for revenue only and maintained it for ten years without lowering wages one-half and depriving tens of thousands of their means of livelihood, every thinking man ought to be able to do something in the way of judging the future of the party by the past.

The Democratic dailies, the day after their national ticket was named, began to “work the soldier racket” for all that was in it, for their brave Union soldier, “General” Stevenson, candidate for vicepresident, and even many of their delegates when they stampeded for Stevenson prol>ably thought they were putting e-p a maD who would help hold the Democratic soldiers for Cleveland, and offset, to some degree, the latter’s very dubious war record, and is not at all dubious anti-pension record. But about the next day the “brave and faithful soldier” Was dropped like a hot brick, for it then became known that Stevenson was not only never in the army, but was actively identified during the war with the anti-war element of the Democratic party, and was a Democratic candidate for. presidential dloa4ai« itA 1 ‘ 4*Vv q elector in ioui, wueii tut? x/ttuiucratic platform declared the war for the Union a failure. Stevenson got his title of “General” by serving as postmaster bouncer, under the official designation of First Assistant Postmaster General. Stevenson was nominated simply because he was the most convenient man just then to down Uncle Isaac P. Gray, whose scalp was elevated at the demand of Tammany, for revenge on Indiana for going solidly for Cleveland for the first place on the ticket.

Blaine’s Ringing Words.

James G. Blaine, ex-secretary of state, in a communication to tho Boston Journal before he left that city on Friday night, ‘ after the nominatkms were made, said: —The resolution, energy and persistence which markedTthe' proceedings of the convention at Minneapolis will if turned against the coming foe, win' the—election in November. All minor differences sho’d bo merged in the duty of every Republican to do all in his pbiver to elect the ticket this day nominated by the national Republican convention. James G. Blaise This has the true ring, says the Toledo Blade. The man who states that Jas. G. Blaine or his admirers wo’d sulk in the camp has no truth in him. No factions are in the Republican party to-day. Many were for Blaine because they admired him. That was hero worship. It is the history of the world. But the s }ber judgment of the convention was against his nc miration

The Farmer’s Interest in Protection.

“When I picked up the pen to indhe my Tariff message,” says the Hon. Grover Cleveland, “I had but one man in my mind from the time I wrote the first word Uno I signed my name, and that was ftei* American farmer, but he did’ not * Si understand me.” It will be noticed that in this sentence Mr. Clove-, land attributes to Ihe farmer not only inability to understand the

ex-Pre •si'dvnt’s ponderous phrases and exploded fallacies, for which the farmer may surely be excused, but absolute ignorance of one of the vital questions which affect his pwn When it is remem 7 bered that Mr. Cleveland himself confessed shortly, before his nomination that he “didn’t know a thing about the Tariff,” and that when he did write his wrote it at the dictation of Southern politicians of the Roger Q Mills type, this assertion appears little less than impudent. The advocate of a consistent Projective Tariff, that shall protect alike the interests of all classes, the farmer included, is well content to leave his system to the practical examination of the farmer himself, nor does he think that closet economists or political theorists are better able to judge iff the feasibility of such a system than the very man for whose benefit more than anything else it has been adopted. The fanner needs no diagram nor does he require extended dissertions from the Hon. Grover Cleveland to enable him, for instance, to understand the meaning of figures. —Economist ' v

Protection and Invention.

Free-Traders tell us that our Wonderful industrial growth is due to our inventions and labor-sav-ing machineryAs usual, they put the cart before the%orse. It is our American system of

Protection that creates and develops industries, giving onr masses work and wages, comforts and homes, education and ambition. This stimulatesmventive genius, aud when new devices are planned and perfected there is use for them of nr ,„ a - - ; 4 arr onc6i —— Thousands of pairs of boots and shoes are daily made in Massachusetts by machinery, giving employment to thousands of workmen at good wages. We export largely to England, where labor is much cheaper than in this country. TTfep The United States leads in in. patents being granted here as in Great Britain.

During our Free-Trade period, from 1846 to 1860, the total number of patents granted was 26,234. From 1861 to 1875 the number granted was 127,345, and from 1875 to 1889 the number was 236, -95£L ’ The greatest number issued’ in any one year prior to 1862 was 4 819,while now we issue annually from 25,000 to 30,000. The result is a cheapening of th e[product, increased consumption and greater demand for labor at good wages. Protection does not make geniuses, but it does make the opportunity, it improves the mind, stimulates the intellect and rewards the inventor.

Wherever the influence of a P rotective Tariff has been greatest, there invention has progressed most rapidly. The result is sating in cost of production and greater prosperity for tbe masses of the people. * ;
