Following the expressed determina

vote for Cleveland, Hon. Wayne Mao
Vengh, of Pennsylvania, attorney gen
eral in President Garfield's cabinet, hid
declared his Intention to do likewise lx
the following able letter:
John W. Carter, Esq., Secretary of tin
Massachusetts Reform Club:
' Your cordial Invitation to address th
citizens of Boston on the issues of tlu
canvass happens to reach me just whet
professional engagements prevent inj
naming a time when I can do so, bu
you are quite right in concluding that '.
intend to vote for Mr. Cleveland. Enter
tabling the convictions I do, no othnt
course is open to lue, and I cheeifullj
accord to the supporters of President
Harrison the same sense of public dutj
by which I claim to be actuated. A)
both parties have presented nnexception
able candidates there is no reason whj
the differences which exist upon ques
tious of public policy should be din
cussed otherwise than in good humoi
and with entire respect for each other 'i
'opinions.
i In the present campaign what ma)
'fairly be called the false alarms of tlu
j canvass will prove of little value be
cause of the general confidence in tin
safe and conservative character of botl
candidates. The average voter knowi
' that free trade is impossible in this conn
try, for the conclusive reason that tin
vast revenues now required to meet tin
expenses of the government will necos
! sarily afford a far higher degree of pro
,tection to our established and prosperoin
Manufactures than either Alexande)
' Hamilton or Henry Clay thought desir
able in the infancy of our weak tuxi
' struggling indust ries. The average vote)
1 also knows that the irrodeeniablo panel
currency in use beforo tlio war can nevoi
' reappear. On the other hand ho know i
as well that no system of duties on iui
ports, however inequitable, can preveni
.our continued growth in wealth, in man'
; nfactnres and iu population a growtfe
due to the incomparable gifts of Provi
dunce, the intelligence and energy of tin
people and the blessings of free intuitu
tions.
i While I more than ever resolved K
hold duty to country far above any tie!
of party, I find myself at present in gen
eral accord with the Democratic party
and willing to trust its course in tin
future. The insight, the courage and
i the patriotism the masses of the part)
exhibited in compelling the nominatior
' of Mr. Cleveland when he was withoul
a single officeholder to support his can-
1 didacy seems to me to demand that 1
: Bhould meet them in the same spirit ami
act with them as long as they maiatair.
that high standard of policy and of ad
ministration.
It is the more easy to do so becuust
the Republican party, securing its re
turn to power four years ago by promis
ing to preserve matters as they were, al
occe embarked upon what I regard as
reckless and revolutionary policy even
overturning all the safeguards of legis
lation in the house of representatives it
their haste to pass the force bill and the
McKinley bill, both, to my mind, nn
necessary and unwise measures.
. The opposition to the force bill is nol
only sure to create far greater evils thar..
it could cure, but as also subversive ol
the rights of the states has becomo sc
earnest and widespread that it is said tt
kave been abandoned; but it must not bt
forgotten that only two years ago suet
'.a measure was warmly advocated bj
President Harrison, earnestly supported
by the Republican party and very nar
rowly escaped becoming a law.
I There is no pretense, however, thai
the McKinley bill is abandoned. On the
contrary, our express approval of it ii
demanded. No doubt thut bill, which
cannot but think was an uncalled foi
disturbance of the then existing tariff,
greatly benefited a few interests, but
certainly it really oppressed' many
others. Of the protected industries
themselves many were then, as now, iu
far more urgent need of free raw mate
rials than of higher protection; but with
raw materials on the free list the bill
could not have passed, for those having
iBucli materials for sale controlled enough
votes to defeat it, and they were very
likely to do so if their bounties were
discontinued. The manufacturers need
ing free raw materials were therefore
obliged to join in the objectionable proc
esses of incraa-sing prices by restricting
production, thus adding to the number
of trusts by which the price of the nec
essaries of life is placed at the mercy
of unlawful combinations of capital,
i It is not surprising that labor, believ
ing itself to be oppressed, soon rose in
revolt, and civil war has actually raged
this summer in four different sections
of the country. And of courso the
farmers, paying more for what they buy
and getting less for what they sell, grow
poorer day by day, and excellent farms
in some of the most fertile sections of
this most highly protected state will
hardly bring the cost of the buildings
upon them.
But the economic evils, however great,
of the McKinley bill, and the unreason
able system of protection it represents,
are of far less importance to my miud
lhan the moral evils which follow in
their wake. In deciding for what pur
poses the masses of the people may prop
erly be taxed it must not bo forgotten
that taxes have a wonderful capacity
for filtering through all intervening ob
stacles till they reach the bowed back of
toil and rest there, and therefore the
giving of bounties, under any form of
taxation, is mainly the giving away of
the wages of labor. Tho sad truth that
the curse of the poor in their poverty is
illustrated in nothing more clearly than
in the undue share they suffer of the
burdens of luxation.
But apart from this ' consideration,
ought not taxes only to be imposed as
required for public purposes, or may
they also be imposed for tho pecuniary
advantage of such persons or classes as
are able to control congressional action
in their favor? It seems to me liko a
travesty on taxation to require, as the
McKinley bill does, the farmer who
grows corn in Indiana to pay a bounty
to the farmer who produces cano sugar
in Louisiana, or to require the farmer
who grows wheat in Pennsylvania to
pay a bounty to tho farmer who produces
maple sugar in Vermont, but it is nearer
tragedy than travesty to tax the mnsses
of the people to Increase the wealth of
the very wealthy owners of most of our
protected industries.
But even such inequality and injus
tice are tho least of its evils, for vhilo
such a system endures political corrup
tion is absolutely sure to increase, as
such a system not only invites but it re
quires, tie corrupt nse of money both at
the polls and in congress. It is of its
very essence that "fat" shall be fried"
out of ita beneficiaries. Who shall hap
pen to do the "frying," or who shall hap
pen to distribute the "fat" npon any
particular occasion, is more matter of
detail, but while that system lasts both
will continue to be done by somebody.
And the evils of a system of legis
lative bounties, so far from stopping,
only begins with those bounties secured
to the industries protected by the tariff.
The disastrous courso of the Republican
party on the silver question is an apt il
lustration of this truth. It ought to be
an honest money party, and it would be
if it could; but while it demanded in
creased bounties for its favorite manu
facturers it could not refuse increased
bounties to the silver producers, as the
votes they control were probably neces
sary to the passage of the McKinley bill.
So situated, tho Republican party had
no alternative but to pass the silver law
of 1890, doubling the purchases of silver
and requiring the building of inoro
warehouses in which to store the useless
metal. Tho total purchases made by
the government amount to hundreds of
millions of dollars, and would not real
ize, if resold, one-half their cost, while
tho poison of a debased currency, whose
work, however slow, is sure, is making
itself daily more and more felt in every
channel of business and finance, and is
inevitably driving gold out of the coun
try and leading us to all the evils of a
fluctuating and thereforo dishonest cur
rency based upon silvor alone. Tho lie
publisau party cannot take anyeffoctivo
steps toward repealing the bill, for tho
silver men are very likely, if their boun
ty is stopped, to so vote that the lxnin
ties of the McKinley bill will stop also.
The abuses of the pension system fur
nish another apt illustration of the evils
sure to follow such a system of legisla
tion. If congress was to levy taxes
upon the people to confer bounties upon
certain classes of manufacturers it was
very natural that the pension agents
should also join hands to increase their
fees by an indiscriminate granting of
pensions. The result is thut nearly a
generation after the close of tho war
there is a steady increase of the vast
sums passing through the pension agents'
hands, until now the total amonnt stag
gers belief, and has become of itself a
very serious burden upon the treasury.
From the day of Leo's surrender until
now no single voice has ever been raised
against the most generous provision for
every person who had any just claim
pon the gratitude of the country; but
surely there is neither reason nor justice
in legislation which destroys all distinc
tion between the discharge of duty and
the shirking of It, between loyal service
and desertion of the colors, between
wounds received in battlo and diseases
contracted in the pursuits of peace.
There is still another great and in
creasing evil, chiefly traceable, in my
opinion, to the maintenance of an ex
cessive tariff since the war and the con
stant meddling with it to make it higher,
and that is the bringing to our shores
of those vast swarms of undesirable im
migrants who degrade American labor
by their competition and threaten tho
stability of institutions based npon an
intelligent love of country. Just as the
duties upon imported merchandise have
been increased so has the grade of im
ported labor been lowered, until now,
under the McKinley bill, there are com
ing here every month many thousands
of more ignorant and thereforo less de
sirable laborers than ever before. It is
not easy to exaggerate the moral evils
they are likely to inflict upon our social
order and our national life.
As the Republican party is now defi
nitely committed to the policy of taxing
the people for the purpose of giving
bounties to such persons or interests as
can secure the necessary votes in con
gress, so the Democratic party is now as
definitely committed to the olicy of re
stricting taxation to the needs of the
government for public purposes alone.
The gulf fixed between these two poli
cies of taxation is as wide and deep as
can well exitit between political parties,
and I am also convinced that the old
causes in which I am interested cannot
hope for success until tho avowed policy
of the Republican party on this subject
is overthrown.
Until then the right of each state to
control elections within its borders will
not be secure. Until then there is no
prospect of us enjoying the single and
stable standard of value which other
civilized and commercial nations pessess.
Until then there is no hope of placing
either our pension system or the reirnla-
tion of immigration upon a just and
proper basis. Until then the purifica
tion of our politics will continue "the
iridescent dream" which high Republic
an authority has declined it must al
ways remain. Until then any pretended
reform of the civil service must prove,
us it has proved these lust four yurs, a
delusion and a snare. And until then
even ballot reform, the best help yet dis
covered to honest elections, and alresdy
threatened with overthrow by the Re
publican managers in Maine, Vermont
and Indiana, must share the same fate
of betrayal in the house of its pretended
friends. All these good causes aro in
the very nature of things the relentless
foes of a system of government by boun
ties to favored interests, and such a sys
tem is their relentless foe.
As I believe, for the reasons I have
given, that the true welfare of the coun
try would be promoted by Mr. Clove
land's election, it is my duty to vote for
him, and as I recall the capacity, tho
fidelity and the courage with which he
has heretofore discharged every public
trust committed to him the duty bo
comes a pleasure. Sincerely yours,
Wayne MacVeagh.
MAKE IT UNANIMOUS.
It Everybody Pesert ITarrlson ami Vote
for Cleveland.
Reports from every part of the coun
try are of the most cheering character
for the Democrats. They have carried
every outpost in most gallant fttshion,
and are now marching in one grand
phalanx upon the citadel of tariff rob
bery. There is no longer ony doubt
about the result in November, Grrovcr
Cleveland is as good as elected, but lot
us convert the coming victory into such
a rout that tho Republican party will
never again be able to marshal ita forces
in tho interests of the trusts. Alabama
gave a good Democratio majority iu
August, and in September Arkansas fol
lowed with the biggest Democratic plu
rality in twenty years. Thon camo tho
great slump in Maine and Vermont,
which made tho Republicans sick at
heart and set tho Democrats to shouting.
Last of all came Georgia and Florida,
whoso Bggregato majorities ran abovo
100,000.
There is not a cloud In the Democratic
sky. Everything points to the one grand
resultthe overwhelming victory of tho
Democratic standard bearers. The groat
procession of the people, with banners
flying, and to the sweet strains of in
spiring musio, is moving on the enemy.
Following the lead of Oresham and
Cooley and MacVeagh, recruits aro join
ing the conquering hosts in thousands.
The Republicans are on the run, and
may not carry a dozen statea. This is
the hour for Miunrsotans who have been
straddling tho fence on the tariff to get
down on the right sido with the masses
and help to make it unanimous. St.
Paul Olobo.
Every Convert llepresents a lieason.
It is not to bo supposed that the many
who ore leaving tho Republican for the
Democratic party do so in a meaningless
fashion. Every convert to Democracy
represents a reason, und by that much
is the party stronger. Reasons that ap
peal to the mind have an influence far
beyond tho individual whose veto and
afliliatioti are changed. The uniting c-f
Judge Cooley with Democracy is very
easy to understand when ono reculls his
position npon the right of taxation. And
Judgn Uresham, too, is on record. Ho
says: "The power of tho government to
collect revenue to defray expenses in
sovereign and absolute. It can takoany
part of a man's property without proof m,
but it ought to take no more tlmneno.iii
to defray tho expenses of tho govern
ment." For two men holding such
opinions to remain in tho Republican
party, with its premeditated robber
tariff, would ba an imoumly. No ono
who kuows the meu wonders that they
are out or that several thousands go
with them. Romo (N. Y.) Sentinel.
Watch Went Virginia.
The Republicans know in the light of
recent events that it is folly to hojo to
break the solid south, and hence they
turn their time, money, trickery and
rascality to tho states in tho north whoso
votes elected Tildtn and Cleveland. Wo
believe that Mr. Harrity and the Demo
cratic committee will meet tho conspira
tors at every point and turn and de.'eat
them ignominiously. Mr. Harrity ith-u.M
look after West Virginia. Indie -.o:is
have been given heretofore that the Re
publicans designed colonizing the ne
groes in this state, tho vote of which w
comparatively close. Upon Mr. Ilani
ty's shoulders there rests a vast respon
sibility. That he is the right man" for
the emergency we do not believe tlu-re
la any ground whatever to doubt. Let

foe know that wo are "after him,"

McKinley' Antediluvian Argument.
It la extraordinary that tho chief ex
ponent of mediaeval principles should
claim that his party is that of progress,
while the one which more nearly accepts
tho teachings of modern thought is that
of retrogression. In the very speech in
whioh Governor McKinley talked of
the "rotrogressioual reaction" of tho
Democracy ho urged it as a reason
against Mr. Cleveland's election thut
such a result would be pleasing to every
country in Europe. Here is a fine illus
tration of tho old barbaric doctrine that
tho prosperity of one nation is an injury
to every other. Had it been nrged as a
reason during the British elections why
Mr. Gladstone should be defeated thut
the American people desired his success,
we would have laughed at the stupidity
of the argument und our derision would
have been justifiable. Buffalo Conner.
A rovfeet Ticket.
The ticket which the Democracy now
offers to tho people f the United States
is as near perfect as it is possible fur
anything human to be. Hon. Grover
Cleveland has already been tried and
found to be a chief executive to whom
every interest of the country can bo
safely intrusted, and Mr. Stevenson Las
shown himself in every respect worthy
of being associated with his distin
guished standard bearer. No higher
compliment could be paid our vice pres
idential candidate, and if, in tho courso
of Providence, Mr. Cleveland should be
taken away before his term is finished
(which heaven forbid) he will know and
;he country will feel that he leaves tho
reins of government in honest aud capa
ble hands. Richmond Times.
What Harrison Wants.
The only "freo ballot and fair connt"
on election day the Republican leader.-i,
from Harrison down, want and demand
is one that will count every colored man
of lawful uge iu the south, as shown by
the census returns, for the Republican
ticket, without reference to tho nature
of his vote or whether he goes to the
polls at all. Virtually they demand that
the census totals and not tho poll books
sliall be used in ascertaining the Repub
lican vote, the assumption being that
every colored man who staya away from
the polls has been intimidated, and that
overy vote so cast by a colored elector
belongs of right to tho Republican party.
This is tho result tho Republicans do
sire to accomplish by passing a force
bill. Littlp Rock Gazette.
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
Its TVrert Tnflurnre Is Hubrrrslve of
publican Principles.
The ultimate logical result of tho
policy of tho Republican party is a cen-trallr-atton
of power destructive of tho
fundamental idea of our government.
This is tho meaning of its tariff policy
as well ae its force bill policy. It means
that the rich and those who are am
bitious of iower sliall be favored at tlie
expense of tho rest of tho peoplo and by
means of their subjection. The objec
tion to the Republican tariff is not more
on account of too unnecessary tribute it
wrests from toe poor to increase the
profits of the rich than on account of its
tendency to cultivate a class of selfish
plutocrats who think the government is
established nnd should be conducted
primarily to exalt and enrich thorn.
They in fact and not McKinley dictated
the present tariff. The Republican party
has become the tool of its campaign
contributors.
There is not within the limits of the
states a more selfish or sordid class or
ono more indifferent to the true welfare
of the peoplo or the future of free iusti
tions. What they primarily seek is the
quick establishment of their private for
tunes. Upon the basis of such wealth
they expect to secure for themselves and
their families a place in tho aristocracy
of money and fashion.
The imposition of bunions npon tho
mass of the people for tho profit of a
class is in ita motive and its direct in
fluence subversive of the principles of
liberty. The Republican party is guilty
of this treachery to patriotism. What
is worse, it defends its guilt by a false
and dclnsivo pretext of serving the peo
ple. Wago workers aro betrayed into
assisting tho accomplishment of the plot
of scheming sharpers. Tho profession
that tho protective tariff is designed in
their interest is as absurd as the profes
sion that tho prime motive of slave
holders was tho good of tho slave.
Tho first steps of the advocates of a
protective tariff, if they wero sincere in
their professions, would not bo the im
position of a tax, but prevention of tho
competition of imported cheap labor.
But this is a measure they will not con
sider. It has no place- in their pro
gramme. Their whole effort is directed
to securing two results the choapost
labor and tho hii;host prices for labor's
product. This is the royal road to
wealth und power for them, nnd they are
for the party which will help build it.
What the ultimate effect will bo as re
gards liberty and tho conditions of a
Democratio stato they do not care at
leant they proceed ns if they do not care.
This government was not intended
by its founders to be a paternal govern
ment in which tho poor shall bo the
wards of tho rich, and wlwse chief con
cern muM bo to increase the wealth of
the few, so that they may, if so disposed,
be good to those who by auch means are
wronged.
The scheme of American liberty and
prosperity is best promoted by removing
burdens from all in order thut all may
1 :tcr take care of themselves. This is
v.. j Dumocrutic purpose. This is the
motive and aim of Grover Cleveland's
statesmanship. New York World.

Vermont Republicans I'erplexetL
There is now cause for anxiety for tho
Republican party. The legislature of
Vermont, Republicans, maddened by the
recent slump, are going to repeal the
Australian ballot law "instanter," they
say. But the sober ones among the
party counsel hands off. Though the
chairman of the Republican state com
mittee is earnest iu his recommendation
that the obnoxious statute be railroaded
off the books, tho Domocratsof Vermont
do not believe that any such good for
tune ia coming their way. They know
it would be the most effectivo campaign
ammunition they ever had, aud it would
disrupt the Republican party of the
stato. As it is, any attempt at repeal,
even though it fall short of commission,
will have an effect unfortunate for Re
publicanism in the doubtful states. The
party leaders know this, and hence their
renewed fears. Rome Sentinel.

Protection It Fraud.
Justice is a simple matter. There is
something in every man's breast that en
ables him to soe and to know it, if he
will but deal fairly with himself. The
knowledge of good and evil is intuitive.
Self interest and Belt deception may
smother it in places, but the mass of
mankind cannot and will not repress it
They know that this idea of protection
is not only a fraud, but a lie. They
know that it must be destroyed not a
little of it, not a part of it, but all of it
if justice is to be done. Bogus statistics
have served the purpose of the men who
have U6ed them. They have confused
some of the people and delayed judg

Oresliam't Honest Relief.
Oresham believes with the Democrats
that taxes should be levied for revenue
only, and every honest man must in
dorse that principle. When government
takes from the earner property it is not
obliged to use for government purposes,
it robs him under tho communistio prin
ciple that '.through law the earnings of
each should be made subject to the de
mands of all. In that communism Har
rison believes as far aa it can be applied
to benefit the trusts and other combi
nations of corporations, but Oresham
will not admit that it is just to tako
away tho property of the humblest by
force of law unless government abso
lutely requires it for its own purposes.
