The gentlemen who are working, so hard this warm weather to convince themselves that the protective tariff was the cause of the Homesten<L strike appear to ’.bxe overlooked the only argument in favor of such a conclusion—ls there was no protective tariff we shoflldhave uo steel mills, uo steelworkert, and be;.ce no strikers. "We a e willing tosub&'ri.je to the truthfulness of tba' argument, only applied to the Homestead sti-el works, but (o all other American ' manufactories.

The men who say the protective tariff is responsible .for the Homestead strike would, by free trade, make the wages of the American workingmen so low that he could never afford to strike. The English newspapers which profess to believe that the United States isoh the eve of establishing free trade will find it the longest night ever seen, which precedes their piedicted morning of free trade.

The democrat ic congressional convention meets at Logansport July 20th. It looks as though Valentine Zimmerman, of Rochester, the candidate four years ago, was in the lead for the nomination. ..

The Inter Ocean is publishing every day a series of most instructive cartoons by that second Nast, Art Young. Last Monday’s picture was especially instructive. One side of the picture represented present protection; the other side represented proposed democratic free trndo. The protection piciuiv wid a mechanic in hfs workWbup, well fed, wellclothed, with plenty of work, at good wages. The other side of the picture showed the same man, ragged and cadaverous, heading into a pawnshop with a box of the tools of his trade under his arm. it is Kepu blican workshop, yersus Democratic pawnshop.

Tariff is a tax in the sense that the fence that the farmer builds A* ar< und Lis garden or his corn-field is a tax paid paid by the farmer. It is a tax that consists of the cost of the construction and maintenance of the fence. And, yet, the :<enee«®iusE_Jje constructed and maintained,» or the trespassing animals of the neighborhood would destroy the entire proceeds of the labor. HiHl the frnits the land, of the f .rmer The tariff is also a i al, (ho ennt of its construction and maintenance may be said to be paid by the people; but the loss due to a submission to the commercial trespass that is thus repelled would be greater than the loss due to the maintenance of the tariff, a hundred times over.

Those blatant demagogues and anarchists, Voc.rhees, Palmer and Jerry Simpeon want to hang Andrew Carnegie, a man of the tnost generous impulses and of the most; public spirited enterprise, whose benefactions amounttomauy millions. Who does more for the g -od of mankind in one year of hi-life than a thousand such as Yoorliees, Palmer and Simpson would, j. do in a thousand years.

The Democratic Platform is most certainly lecogtazed so an officiaf declaration of Democratic doctrine on the Tariff question. And no less certainly is Mr. Edward Atkinson acknowledged to be a learnbd expopent of that same doctrine on that question. And yet this is the way in which th Yt learned exposition and that learned exponent ngree: •? '*; ..

Democratic Platform. We denounce the'McKinley Tariff law, enacted by the fifty-first Congress, b's the culminating atrocity of class legislation, and we promise its repeal as one of the benificent results that will follow the action of the people in intrusting power to the Democratic party. * Since the McKinley Tariff went into operation there have been ten reductions of the of laboring men to one increase- We deny that there has been any increase of prosperity to the country since that Tariff went into operation.

The Chicago Herald has a cut of “Andrew Carnegie offering starvation wages” to his employes. The fact remains that Carnegie’s strikers, whose wages was affected by the ’proposed reduction, got double the wages of the employes of the Chicago for man, even under the reduced schedule. We dare the Herald to republish the daily earning of 100 of the best paid workers of the Carnegie mills in a parallel column with the wages paid to 100 .of the best paid men in the Herald office, —lnter Ocean.

A Predictioa that will Come True.

[From Bourke Coekran’s-Speech in Chtbago] I believe it was the distinguished gentleman from Massachusetts —General Col lins—who decl ar ed there were no Democrats' in this Union who Would vote ag. inst that ticket: but there are behind him two heroes whose deeds have not escaped the attention of history— two heroes who have led the Union armies to victory, and who have never made faees at the vanquished foe: and they wjJJriteU you here that the soldier vote of the state of New York, of whom there are 25,000 at least Democratic, will not support the nomination of Mr. Cleveland, and- did not support it inIBBB. [General Sickles arose in his place among the New York delegation and said: “No, no, never.” There were three cheers and hisses heard about the riraH-uud-g+dlemsrT— ~ ————

A Few Questions Answered,

Whois chairman of the democratic national committee? Calvin S. Brice. Who is he? ' A many times millionaire, a. standard oil trust king, and demo- ’ cratic-senator from Ohio but who lives in New Y<-rk. W here isßrtoevide? In Tennessee. Whom i&U named after? Calvin 8. Brice, Why? . Because he is at the head of the ;<" - _ coal mining ere. Was there a strike there last August? ; , There was and the militia were called on to down the union miners. / <K ' • Do the democratic papers refer to this in discussing the Homestead conflict? They do not. They would like to hold the Republican party responsible for Carnegie’s business actions but they do not.want to be held responsible for Brice. Is there any politics in the Homestead conflict? None at all. The constitution of the United States and the legislation under it ”has given us America for Americans. The Homestead conflct is ope between eitizensof the United Stateswhich dUr tariff laws against foreign competition and the products of foreigi. labor his nothing to do with it. - The demneratie ;heu is trying to fool the workingmen? Of course. The’ party which maintained the slavery of* labor in the South has no<real love for 1 hbor is trying to degrade it to 1 the lowest grade of imy foreign ! na-ua/Which deeirJS I in AmTricaurifiGkete/ |

HOW WELL THEY AGREE.

Mr. Atkinson in May;Forum. There never has been- a period in the history of this or any other country when the general rate of wages was as high as it » nop, or the price of goods relatively to the wages as low as they are to-day, nor a period when the workman, in the strict sense of the word; has so fully secured to his own use and enjoyment such a. steadily'and progressively increasing proportion of a constantly increasing product.

The Two New Parties.

old parties have outlived their usefulness, become corrupt, cowardly, and indifferent to the needs of humanity; that they are controlled by vicious or dangerous influences, and each asserts that the perpetuity of the Republic depends upon the speedy enactment of its peculiar theories. It would naturally discourage a citizens who was dispcspd to take all of-ihis seriousiy to hear two such appeals from different direeti ons- at the same time.' What is ther' in the idea that old- parties become corrupt, and that new ones must be born to work out the progress of the race? From whence come the organizers of the new parties, and where are the pure and superk>r voters who are to give either of these new organizations a majority to-be found ? Alas! there is nosourcerof supply, other than the old parties corrupt though they may be... The conspicuous men in both conventions are figures from the old parties, and.have gained more prominence by departure from their old assocaitions than they were ever able to gain, by superiority withia them. The recruits must be the same ever-day humanity wbich while withia the old is accused of being indefferent, cowardly and corrupt. There is no new race of rulers come. There is-no injection, of new blood into the body politic. There is not even a new idea in either movement The propositions of - each have more or less friends in the old parties, but they have- not been able-to - incorporate -the- ideas, into the policies of the old, parties for the simple reason* that a majority of the people are opposed to them. Whenever a majority of the voters of either the Republican or Democratic party are convinced tliat any of these policies-are desirable, they can vote them: into its platform. It is a simpler and more promising method than the forming of a new party upon one idefu A great political party, such as is fit to be intrusted with the complicated affairs of the Nation, is a practical organization for the conduct of government. It can not do business uppn one idea. It can not follow all We- specialists, like Bellamy, George,, and St John. The specialists can not even abide with each other, for these three most famous advocates of alleged reform are supporting three rival political parties in this camp ign. By their own examples these people illustrate the absurdly of forminga new party for each “ism” proposed. The great mass of the voters of the Republican, and Democratic parties are neither corrupt nor indifferent to the progress of their kind. They have it in their power to take up any theory of government which commends ' itself to their judgement. The ideas that have not been adopted by them have failed as yet to secure their approval, and the time is not ripe for incorporating them into laws. And while the formation of new political parties may be one method of advertising ideas which a majority of the voters decline to take up, they arc not organizations for the actual conduct of government, never will attain that dignity, and are not entitled to the votes of those who wish to deal with practical affairs.--Inter Ocehn.
