At the Treasury Department in Washington it is estimated that there has been a decrease of 5 1,.".00,000 in the public debt during July. Ovarii 1.000, 000 was paid out during the month for pensions. It is now generally conceded that Congress will remain la session until about the 1st of October, not because the welfare of tho countiy demands any auch protracted session, but because the republican politicians In the Sena'e want to turn Congress into a great d9 butin; rlub on the tariff. The Indiana State Federations of Traded in a convention at Indianapolis unanimously resolved that "we cannot support the candidates of the Republi can party for President and Vice Presi dent because both of them are wanting in sympathy for the laboring classes. '; It also scored Harrison for bis record oa the Chinese question. The river and harbor bill became a law on Monday, without the President's signature No memorandum is written, but the President stated that while the bill contained items to which he could aot siim his arrroval, the great bnlk of the work provided for is so important to the rxst interests of the country that he was unwilliug to obstruct it by a veto. Congressman Matson, who is the Democratic candidate for Governor of Indiana, was asked what chance Harri son had of carrying that State. He said : "I don't see how he is going to do it. Gray's majority in ISS I was 7,39-2 and Cleveland's O.-vll. "Where Harrison is to get the votes to overcome the ma jority, I cannot imagine. He is dis tasteful to the Greenback and Labor element who hold the balance of rower." Col. Fred. Grant, gives it as his opinion that Harrison will carry New York. Col. Fred, expected to carry New York last year himself but when the votes were counted to bis otter sur rrise he was badly left. Neither Col. Fred, uor Ilarrisou would have been heard of as candidates but for the re pntat'on of their ancestors and people of this country are not incline.! tr recognizs talent so far in the back ground. Four years ago thousands of men voted the Republican ticket, not because they loved the Republican party, but because they feared a train of evils would follow Democratic success. The dread of the Southern domination and a cleaa sweep of civil service regulations hive passed away. The country has Iron prosperous ana the Government honestly administered, and in Novem ber next thousands who fonr years ago opposed Grover Cleveland will be found voting and working for him. The Chicago Tribune, the ieadiog Republican jourualof the West, had the followi!2 to iy of the Republican Pres idential candi late. Harrison unpopular at home, disliked abroaJ ; not supported by any German newspaper or recognized by any German leader in the United States ; not num bering among hia close friends one man who ever served with him in the Senate or the United S'ates : hated in Califor nia trcau'e he voted fourteen times ncainrt the restriction of Chinese immi gration ; opposed Id his own S.ate be cause he is cold and distant In his man ners and identified with every public act that has ever tre.n adopted which could wcucJ the sensibilities of voters not numbered among his own particular cRquu In the Republican party ; 1 avlng strong support among politicians but little among the rank and file of the party ; never elected to any clUce save that of the repotter of the Supreme Court by the popular vote, and it is rot probable that he will ever bo the resid uary lesatce of the President of the New Yor!; Cm! ml n!Iro:iT. The issue of taxation says the New York Sl-ir, is the most prominent ques tion in the Democratic campaign, but it is by no means the enly issue of the convasa. The question which each voter will have to determine on November 6 admits of only one alternative, a ballot for the Cleveland electors or for electors selected to vote for opposition candi dates. Every one must determine for him self the reply to the Inauiry. "Shall Democratic Federal Administration be continued ?" To reach a conscientious conclusion on this broad question it is necessary that the whole course of the Adminis tration should be taken into view. It is a general judgment on three years' exercise of executive power by the Democracy as comrared with the Re publican rule which the country Is call ed upon to pronounce. It is therefore rieht that Democratic managers, newspapers and orators should keep before the public the fact that, while the issue of tax reduction is a leading feature in the campaign, there are many other matters which should not be left oat of account, and which the Republicans stiould. not be allowed to crowd out of the canvass by the false and seLseleea cry about "free trade," when there can be no free trade, and all talk of free trade is folly. When PresI dent Cleveland issued his celebrated tax message. It was clearly the paramount duty of Congress to legislate to lighten the public burdens and emancipate in dustry and trade. So far as the Demo cratic Honse is concerned, that duty has been discharged. It is important that the people should understand all about Democratic progress and Republican obstruction in the warfare against the surplus, and everything that energy and intelligence caa do to furnish informa tion calculated to bring the peopie to the support of the right will undoubtedly be done. Rut it would not be fair to the party or just to the people to fail to devote due atteution to other features of the can vass upon which a verdict must be ren dered as part of the record of Demo cratic administration. The discussion must not be confined even to the great issue. We be believe In the Democratic doctrine of tax reduction and in the popularity of that doctrine with the people ; we rely npon It as a tower of strength iu the canvass. Hat it is not by any means the only reliance. The party and the administration have other claims on public confidence, and no claim must be surrendered or neglected. It is the record of Cleveland as Presi dent that is, first of all. In question now, just as it was bis record as Governor of New York that was the chief topic of consideration ana the source of Demo cratic strength in 1SS4. With strong, positive and capable candidates like Cleveland and Tburman against weak and compromised nomin ees like Harrison and Morton, it is high ly important to the Democratic cause that nothing that legitimately forms a part of the canvass should be omitted from it. Providence that once favored the g. o. p. in every way seems to have turned her back to the party of "grand moral ideas" entirely. At the Blaine aemonatration in New York last week, lilaina failed to arrive until Friday, and as the patriots had been there two days and were badly demoralized and financi ally bursted. the managers on Thursday went through the farce of welcoming Blaine before his arriva'. A big parade marching around welcoming a man, who for all they knew to the contrary, might have teen in the bottom of the Atlantic, presented a very ridiculous appearance. Mr. Blaine however, after his arrival the next day. was duly informed of the royal reception he had received the day before. Everything apoears to be against the g. o. p. this year and it seems to be a struggle with the managers to try and keep it alive long enough to "fry some of the fat" out of the manu facturers. That, and nothing more. The (Republican) editor of the India napolis Journal, the personal organ of Ge-eral Harrison, says : "In order to win In Indiana, there should be an in telligent waving of the bloody shirt. A campaign on the tariff will lead to inevitable deteat." The bloody shirt has long since been worn thread bare, but it is all that the g. o. p. has left to rely upon. The question of tax reduc tion which was one of the planks in the R-publican platform of lStvl was thrown out this year and notwithstanding the Republican Senate is now trying lo patch cp some reduction measure the people will be fully aware that it was only forced out of them as an off set to the polity of President Cleveland and the Democratic party. Let the bloody shirt wave. Yellow fever has broken out at Jacksonville, Florida, and is causing general alarm to tbe people along tbe Gulf. All the people who are able to leave bave fled from Jacksonville and it ia feared that the fugitives may spread the disease. Every effort known to science is used to abate the disease and prevent its spreading. In Jacksonville, infected buildings are burned wuhout any hesitation, sulphur is burned in large quantities aud other fires, fed by tar and pitch pine are kept constantly burning. It is said that the yellow fever scourge never originates in the Southern cities but Is brought every year from Cuba and that the miserable conditions of the people in that island invites and attracts tbe disease. Gen. Siikridan's remains lay in state in Mauhew'a church. Wash-I ngton on i n.lay. They were viewed by a laige number of persons. The last rite- were performed on Saturday. Members of Cotigress, the President and his Cabinet, memters of the various foreign legations and other distinguish ed persons were present in the church at the services. The fuoeral sermon was pronounced by Cardinal G.bbonp. An imposing procession followed the remains to the grave, which were laid to rest in Arlington cemetery. Since the arrival or Blaine, Harrison has not 1 ee i hoard of. He has evident ly t:krn to the ttpciIj. Beeaase It Didst Mi It His Partisan Purpose. Why did not Mr. Blaine point his large audience of Industrial citizens to the steamer City of New York, that is American omy in the name that is borne on her flag, and cell them why be returned in the best ship that ever .float ed on the sea, in which there is not a dollar's worth of American labor or ma terial, and on which an American sea man cannot be employed and the Amer ican flag dare not be unfurled, although the vessel is wholly owned by Ameri cans. And why did Mr. Blaine fail to present, with the pointed object lesson or the British built, British-manned and Br tish-flagged steamer that is Ameri can only In ownership, to tell his Ameri can workingmen who so enthusiastically beard and honored bin. that when bis high war tariff policy was first accepted to meet the extreme necessities of the government engaged in a gigantic war American ships carried three-fourths of our whole commerce on the seas of the world and now carry about one-eight of it ? No man could tell why we baye no American ships and no American com merce under American flags and no American seaman in International trade, so concisely as Mr. Blaine and why was he silent on pregnant, practical facts which stare both comrgeroe and labor in the face, to indulge (n glittering rneioric r And when Mr. Blaine rose to aecept , the grateful homage of American labor ers in New York he was clad in British , clothes ; British woolens were in his garments ; British labor had made them ; British linen glietened from Lis shirt front, collar and cuffs ; a British necktie gave grace to Lis toilet, and British underwear and hose added to his comfort. And why did he not point to ovrn apparel and make it an object lesson in favor of American labor ? He knouvs that we have matchless skill in American labor ; that we have the best machinery of the world of American invention and American construction, aDd yet he and most of his thousands of hearers were clad in British fabrics which are taxed from 40 to SO per cent, ostensibly to protect our labor. Mr. Blaine mnst know that American laborers bave free schools and free news papers ; that tbey read, think and act for themselves, and why did be not de clare for American labor and American mills making the woolens we wear, in stead of taxing consumers ever GO per cent, and giving British mills and Briton labor the advantage in our American markets; No man conld bave told In clearer or more fascinating dic tion why he and his hearers were large ly clad in British garments while de nouncing British policy and British industries, and why did he cot do it ? If he had simply said "England gives free raw materia's to her mills and la bor, while we continue war taxes on our mills and labor and deprive them of their home markets," he would have told the whole story. With Mr. Blaine, and probably on bis magnificent British-built. British man ued and British-flagged American owned ship, came Britons, Huns, Ital ians. Portugese. Poles and other free trade imported cheap labor to enter the race with legitimate American labor in our highly protected and highly taxed American mills. While the British clad multitude was shouting huzzas of welcome to British-clad Mr. Blaine and he was eulogizing American labor that Lis tariff policy overtaxes and under pays, a very Babel ot confused tongues might have been heard at Castle Gar den, free trade imports of cheap labor to steal the labor of our mills an-J mines and drive the legitimate American workingmen into idleness and starvas tion, and why ? Solely because Mr. Blaine's higc war tariff taxes protect monopoly only and oppress and degrade legitimate labor. Phila. Times. Plain Democratic Daly. A good bit of the responsibility of po litical defeat in every campaign lies on the shoulders of the stay-at-home vo ters who are actuated by indifference or over confidence. With the indifferent citizen little can be done. He might be galvanized into some semblance of a proper and becoming interest in the wel fare of his country by a law suspending his citizenship for non fulfillment of its duties and compelling him to go through the forms of naturahzuiou to regain his vote, but it is doubtful. Tbe over-confident citizen is of a dif ferent kind. He either concludes that his party and principles are bound to win, whether he votes or not. or that tbey are certainly doomed to defeat, and so stays at home. There have been a large number of over-confident Demo crats in Pennsylvania. Tbey give up a campaign before it is fought, and when the returns come in ejaculate. "I told you so." There are indications thes are all going to wake up this year and go into the fight to win. There nerer was a better chance for Democratic vic tory in the o!d keystone State and Dem ocrats should recognize the fact. The record of the last legislature and of the present State administration are flagrant. The obedience of both to the slightest wishes of the monopolistic cor porations have been fully illustrated and are well understood. In every section of the State tbe farmers and laborers are ready to renounce former allegiance to the Republican party If any hope of better things is given them. The shame ful joggling of the general revenue bill was a crime perpetrated by the Republi cans on the whole people of the State. The defeat of the pipe line bi'.l was an outrage and an insult to the western counties. The smuggling of an honest check weighman bill waa a stab at the bituminous coal miners, aud the cool contempt with which the anthracite miners' petition affecting tbe Trading Railroad was received was In keeping with the whole history of Republican subservience to powerful corporations as opposed to the rights of their em ployes. In every section of the State laborers and farmers were ignored and capitalists nave Deen given whatever thev asked. Every farmer in the State petitioned for a law to enforce the anti-discrimination clauses of the State constitution, and Chairman Cooper's Republican caneus committee offered them aneinaecuIabM version of tbe Culiom inter-State bill, remodrled by Frank Thomson, of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Eveo that was not passf-d. lest It might pave the way for an amtnded bill that would be oper ative. It lathe duty of every Democrat In this State to get registered, pay his taxes and turn out to the polls iu No vember to csst his honest vote against such aoethods and in favor of proper legislation, to be followed in two years by a vote for the proper enforcement of the laws and the constitution. Honest Republicans throughont the State will join in the movement, and victory is ! certain. And while aiding the cause of honest government in the State the good cause of tariff reform ana reduction of taxation in the Nation need not be for gotten. Now is the time to do the work of organizing. PitUb'irtj rost. Renew lrr fonln. Mra.

Mr. Blaine in bis speech on Friday evening declared that the English peo ple, though divided ou all other ques tions, were absolutely unanimous in the opinion that G rover Cleveland em bodies in bis person the exact form of revenue and tree trade for the United States which England likes," and he went on to pictuie the English people as standing in an attitude of eager and hopeful expectancy, awaiting Demo cratic success as their great opportauity. This speech was cabled to London, and the London Daily Xeics, comment ing on the statement quoted, remarks .. "There is surely some mistake. Eng land watches the event with the great est unconcern. The press nearly ignores the contest." This is the exact truth, and no one knows it better than Mr. Blaine, who has just ret &r Bed from England. All Americans who bave access to London papers see that tbey devote more attention to the where abouts of Stanley oi the marriage of some contineutial princeling than they do to all American news ; politics in cluded. A few lines here and there in the news columns, and now and then a somewhat confused editorial reference to our affair, are about the only evi dences to be found in the English news papers that such a country as ours exists. The JVetcs is delicately courteous in saying that Mr. Blaine is mistaken. A mncb harsher word wouia oeuer tbe case. Bat this was not tbe only misstate mc nt made by Mr. Blaine. Before he ever reached the wharf be began talking, and in the course of a speech to his ad mirers on bis way up the haibor be said : And I say here, as I hope to say with much more elaboration and force hereafter I aay here that the wanes of American labor can not be reduced except with the consent and tbe votes of the American laborer himself. We do not need to go to England for a refutation of this falsehood.' Mr. Blaine may say it afloat and say it ashore, say it as often as be pleases and with all tbe elaboration that his ingenu ity can invent, but every intelligent American workman will, in bis heart, give tbu lie to the statement as soon as it is uttered. Their wages bave been reduced without their consent and against their most urgent protest, and the men who reduced them were Mr. Carnegie, Mr. A mm id own, president of the Protective Tariff League, ard a host of others who are now posing as tbe friends of American labor and con tributing money to bring about ovations to James G. Blaine. A'. Y. Star. Don't Joggle With HeoL Tbe Republicans of tbe Senate should meet tbe question of fully protectirg wool or making it free. We are now oppressively taking the people, all of whom consume woolen goods, ostensi bly to protect wool-growers, and it is either too high or too low to benefit either tbe wool-produceis, the woolen workingmen or the consumers. If the wool is to be protected at all it should be fully protected against for eign wool-growers. If it is not to be fully protected against foreign wool growers, it should be made free in tbe interest of our woolen industries. The present high tariff tax of over forty per cent, on wool do-s not and cannot pro- sees woo;-growers in Ohio. ermont and Michigan. It simply overtaxes consumers without giving wool growers protection, and without giving our borne markets to home woolen mills and labor. Let tbe Senate meet this qnestioa honestly. If it proposes to protect wool as its party leaders profess, let them manfully restore the high tariff tax of 13G7 upon wool. That would protect wool ; anything les would not protect It, and any tax upon wool that is short of fully protecting wool-growers, is an inexcusable tax upon consumers. The plain truth is that the Republi can Senate dare not protect wool growers against foreign competition for two reasons. First, there is no labor in wocl-growing to protect ; and, second, the people would not submit to the Urge increase of the present over sixty per cent, duty on woolens to pro tect a so-called industry in which there is little or no actual industry at all. Let the Republicans of the Snat.n be honest on tbe wool question. If they mean to protect woo' against foreign competition, thev mnst largely Increase the present tariff tax of over forty per cent, on wool and the present tariff tax of over sixty per cent, on woolens ; and if they dare not do that, let them do what the know they must do sooner or later, and soon at the latest make wool fre.
