Judge Ttiurman hit the nail on the head when he said : "The tariff is a tax that takes hold of everything from the crown of your head to the soles of your feet' Advices from Democratic headquar ters at New York say that the cam. pagn is progressing satisfactorily aud that Cletbland and Thurman will cer tainly be elected. Premdent Cleveland spends about two days of each week at Oak View without coming into the White House. He takes his work with him to his countrr place. Thursday. Septemoer C'.h, is the last day for the registration of voters. Lei every Democratic Committeeman attend to his duty by seeing that every Democrat In his district Is at once assessed. The President has issued an order placing Major-General Schofleld in com mand of the army, with headquarters at Washington. General Schofield wiil also continue in command of the divis ion of che Atlantic. TrtE Republican papers are very busy publishing little extracts that they pre tend are taken from English papers. They are very old chestnuts and if ever heard in England at all, it must have been during the visit of our "greatest living statesman" Jingo Blaine. The American Pjrty N-ational Con vention iu Washington last week nom inated for President J. Langdon Curtis, of Connecticut. He is seventy-six years of age and he holds that foreigners should reside in this country twenty one years before exercising the rights of citizenship. Dr. Edson, of the New York health department, says it requires a peculiar condition of climate, such as we never iiave in the North, to make yellow fever contagious. There must be a long continued period of hot weather and bad water for the disease to gain a foot hold. Allen G. Thurman left Columbus, Ohio, on Monday for Port Huron, Michigan, where he was to deliver his opening campaign address on Wednes day. The old Roman was greeted at very station by immense crowds who were eajrer to see him. and his speech at Port Huron will be read with inter est by all who are in favor of justice and tax reduction. High protection means high prices ; bigh prices mean reduced consumption, and rec need consumption must inevita bly be followed ly a reduced demand for labor and lower wages. Per contra, free raw materials mean cheaper pro duction, increased consumption, a greater demand for labor and higher wages. TbN is not theory. It is a fact, proven by experience. TnE decision of the Supreme Court of Washington territory, declaring uncon stitutional the law granting suffrage to women, is based on the fact that the legislature exceeded its powers granted by Congress. The court took the ground tbattte word"citizen"in the or ganic act can mean nothing else than male citizen. The opinion contained 7,s 000 words and an appeal will be taken to theSuprem. 1 Jourtof the United States. There ia no issue in the pendirg cam paign between protection and free trade. The question is, shall the tariff taxes, which furnish millions of revenue in "excess of the needs of the Government, be continued to enrich monopolies and trusts. The Democrats believe in re ducing the taxes for the Oecefii of the reople. The Republicans want the taxes kept up to protect the trusts. It Is this issue tbat the vote in November will decide. Geo. W. Childs' J'ulUr. Leihjt-r (1. pull.can.) :.!trecentiy that Cleveland's "administration has been free from offi cial or personal srandal ; bas bea lon est and clean. There have been no S ar route robberies ;no navy jobberies ; no War department corruptions ; no protl:g: waste by United States Mar shals ; Treasury combinations or specu lations ; no corrnpt operations in or through the Land Office. No American at home or abroad has had occasion to droop his eyes in shame because of any such things under Mr. Cleveland's ad ministration. On the contrary there has been a resolute effort to promote bonest government, to increase efficien cy, and to lesser expenses." TnE Republicans, before the arrival of Blaine were looking forward anxious ly for that gentleman's arrival that be might sound the key-note of the cam paign. In his speech at Portland, Maine, on Wednesday of last week, Mr. Blaine not only sounded the key-note, but be played the whole tune, when he stated that trusts were private affairs, with which neither President Cleveland nor any private citizen has a right to Interfere. Here is Mr. Blaine's key note ; "When President Cleveland de livered his message he had something to say to the American people about the danger o: Trnsts.' I th!nk thire hTe since been no Democratic papers in the conn ry. whethtr they understood the meaningtf the word or cot, that fcave not been constantly warning the people as to the horrible danger of 'trnsts.' Well.l shall not discuss trusts this afternojn. I shall iot venture to say .bat they are a to fier advantageous or di.-advantageous. They are lanjdy prirnte nrTitirs tcith vchirfi neither Pre. ulent Cleveland nor any jrirate citizen hit.- uny particular rijht to interfere." The Chicago Tribune, one of the ablest Republican journals in the West takes issue with Mr. B!ain6 and very pointedly remarks : If Mr. Blaine Is correct In his assertion that they are "private affairs" with which the government has no right to Interfere, then most certainly the government baa no right to bolster them up and befriend them and should step down and out from its part nership with them by withdrawing Its tariff protection. So locg as excessive duties are maintained these trade rings will bs enabled to bleed the public. Iteduce these duties to a decent, reasonable figure and they will be smashed. Mr. Blaine will not help the prospects of the party by appearing as the advocate of trusts which the party platform has specifically and unmistakably condemns ed. He can say much that is Interesting and profitable as to tariff and wages ques tions, but be should be warned in time not to make the error of apologizing for trust monopolies or whistling them down the wind as of no consequence. Mr. Blaise appears to be awfully worried says the St. Taul fjlobe, over the prospect of Jndge Thurman's elec tion to the Vice Presidency, and is con sequently nerving himself to make his big fight against the tail of the Demo cratic ticket rather than the head. There are possibly two reasons for this. Mr. Blaine bas bucked against the head of the tieket once, aad Mr. B'.aine is a man who usually knows when he bas enough. Whatever other aspirations Mr. Blaine may have he is evidently not burning with a desire to have another band-to-hand set to with Gro ver Cleveland. But another reason why Mr. Blaine is disposed to give so much attention to the Democratic nominee for Vice Presiden is that he served in Congress long enough with Jadge Thur man to learn that the old Riman is a dangerous man for the corporatiou in terests to tackle. With Thurman pre siding over the Senate there would not be much prospect for crooked legisla tion ; or, at least, it couldn't be rushed through without the attention of the country being called to it. Senator Call has introduced a joiDt resolution in Congress to appro priate S200.000, to bo paid out in tbe discretion of toe Secretary of th j Treasury, for the suppression and pre vention or yellow fever 10 the Iutei State commerce of the United Slates. It also authorizes the Surgeon-General of the Marine Hospital Service, on the request of the Governor of any State, to seiz and destroy, under conditions and regulations to be prescribed by the Sec retary of Treasury, any infected person al or other property which is communi cating infection and disease in the Inter-State commerce. This condemn ed property, it is provided, shall be paid for out of the money apropriated by the resolution. The intelligent voter will have no cause to complain of not being fully informed on the great questions to be settled at the coming election. The Campaign committees are busy sending out literature r.nd it is said that more, has been circulated this Fall than ever before in lb history of the country. During the present session of Corgress 11,000,001) envelopes costing $11,000 have been furnished to members who have n?ed them in sending out their speeches, ntarly all which are on the tariff. This boata the record, which was 7.000,000 envelopes in 1S7G. The people are studying the tariff question. Quay has got Harrison to take a rest for a couple of weeks at Bass Island, in Lake Erie. He could not keep Harri son fiom talking so be retired him to a lonely island where his talk can do the e. o. p. no harm. Quay Is now hnnting up an island where he can locate Jingo Blaine until after the election, but as yet has not succeeded in finding one sufficiently retired. He cannot put the two on the same island as they would talk each other to death. Germany" bas passed a law making beafnr railway cars by means of steam from the locomotive compulsory on all trains running within the Empire with- ! in seven years. It ,s stated that this j method or heating trains has been j in satisfactory use in that country for sever! years. General IIowaud rfficIaUv announ- I ces that peace ngain reigns among the Arizinia Indians, and that he is on his I ay to his headquarters at Los j Angeles. Maine the Apologist of Trusts. True to his uniform record as the champion of monopoly in all its forms, Mr. U'aioe baa come out boldly as an apologist of the numerous trusts that have been organized in this land to 'corner" the supplies of necessaries of living. Speak"irg at Port land last week this statesman, wbo is so cocksure of everything, said he could not tell whether tbe trusts are "altogether advantageous or disadvan tageous." This is the first time that Mr. Blaine bas ever confessed bis falli bility on any public question. He seem ! to incline however to the opinion that Trusts are "advantageous" institu tions, and so they are to the monopo lists and bounty-mongers of whom he is tbe faithful champion. Becoming em boldened in his speech in defense of the Trusts, he aaid : "They are largely pri vate affairs with which neither the Pres.deut or any other private citizen ha any right to interfere." President Cleveland is not a private citizen (nor is he likely to become a pri vate citizen until the 4th of March, 1S02,) and It was therefore his solemn duty, ft tbe chosen Chief Magistrate of the Nation, to give official warning of the dangers that threaten tbe people in tbe Trust monopolies that have been created by tbe tariff. He conld not do less without violating his constitutional obligation to recommend to Congress 'huch measure as be shall judge neces sary and expedient." But Mr. Blaine says this is none of his business. Hon. John Sherman bas introduced a bill to restrain the trusts, and the Re publican members of tbe House have introduced like measures ; but Mf. Blaine, wbo cannot venture to say "whether this form of monopoly Is ad vantageous or disadvantageous," tells tbe representatives of tbe people that they have "no right to Interfere." For months tbe Republican organs in all quarters of the land, in language more or less emphatic than that of John Sherman, have denounced the sugar trust as "one of the most dangerous and wrongful monopolies ever created in this country." They insist that this sugar trust owes its vety existence to the tariff ; and, in order to destroy the monopoly, they demand that the J"3, 000.000 of fiscal revenue from raw sugar shall be abolished. But Mr. Blaine re bukes the party organs by telling them that this trust "is a private affair with which they have no right to interfere." As the tool of monopolies who has be come rich by their favors Mr. Blaine was bound, of course, to stand up in their defense. He could not do other wise without offending the Carnegies and all the rest of tbe beneficiaries of the tariff-fed trusts which are eating op the substance of the American people. We can imagine tbe last words of An drew Carnegie, when they parted in Scotland : "Don't fail to stand np for tbe Bessemer Steel Combination and our Structural Iron Ring, out of which I am able by hard labor to realize only 51.o00.000 a year. These are only pri vate affairs with which neither Piesi dent Cleveland nor an private citizen bas a right to interfere ; and, therefor, don't let the Republicans of the Senate meddle with them, in imitation of the Democrats of th House." Mr. Blaine has tperformed his task with a great deal of fidelity; but be gives rather ton loose a rein to a certain habit which seems to have growu to be constitutional with him wbeu be asserts that "England is literally plastered over, under her system of free trade, with trusts." Are there in England Bessemer steel trusts, lumber trusts, salt trust.", lead trusts, rubber tiusts, linseed oil trusts and other "Rings" to control fupplies and price? of the ne cessaries or living? As soon as such combinations should arise in England Mr. Blaine knows that competing pro ducts would pour in to redress the balance in favor of consumers ; and he knows, too, that every one or these American trusts and a score besides would prish with the removal of the "protective" features of the tariff. For this reason be champions the trusts, and insolently asserts tbat these greedy Tariff-fed Monopolies are "private af fairs" wi.h which neither the President nor Congress bas any right to interfere. Mr. Biaine's first campaign effort in behalf of the Tariff engendered trnsts can hardly be regarded as a success by his warmest admirers. When he shall next speak on this subj-ct he may poss ibly be able to say whether, in his opin ion, thes. monoplies are "advantage ous or disadvantageous" to the puhtic, as well as to their possessors. I'hila. lleerml. Blaine and Savings Fnnds. Mr. Blaine's wonderful talent for misstatement creeps out in every speech he makes. Respecting the savings banks be ventured two assertions: First, that the effect of the legislation proposed by the Mills bill Lad teen ex ceedingly injurious ; and. second, that the savings banks or the State of Mass achusetts carry larger deposits than throe of England. Relative to the first statement, Mr. Fr?d E. Ritchards, Bank Examiner of the State of Maine, is a timely witness in his semi-annual report for the 1st of Mav. 187, which yearB!aine, confesses was prosperous, the gain in deposites was ?1,032.UOO. In the report for the same period ending May 1, 1SSS, when Mr. Blaine's supposed "radical change in the industrial system causeo re vers il and coufusion in the commerce and manufactures of the United States," the gain in deposits was ?1.0."-2.000. In other words, the prosperity ur the people of Maine, as shown through the savings banks, was greater since tbe President seut in his anti-monopoly tax message than before. With reference to his second asser tion, the latest rflicial statistics whose that in the year 1887 the amount of de posits in the s-tvir.es banks of Massachu setts was $91,107,000 while the depos its in tbe savings banks in Great Brit ain. Including the postal banks, amount ed to S7."6.o;.J.000. so tbat the English deposits were more than double those o MassHChusetls. Included in the figures for Great Britain are deposits wi'h friendly and ruilding societies to the amcmot ct S2.Vi.000. 000. But deducting $499,000,000 ot deposits in the Trustee and Tost Office. a vines banks of Eng land, or $208,000 000 more than the total deposits of the S;ate of Massachu setts. Massachusetts is a flourishing and wealthy State, and the prosperity and economy of its people a re just sources of pride to all good Americana. But that is no reasor. why false economic proposi tions should be backed up by falsification of statistics so gross that it is difficult to believe that Mr. Btalne can have made them otherwise than recklessly. D.i the Republicans srlous!y expect to C4rry the country by such slapdash ag guments as the Plumed Knight is now using ? y. Y. Star. I Consumption I nr arable T Keid the following : Mr. O. H.

Mr. Blaine bolds that "Trusts" are ' purely private affairs, and that neither President Cleveland nor anyone else should have anything to say about them." At the same time the magnetic "un crowned king" of Republicanism advo cates tbe prohibitory tariff of tbe Chica go platform. Tbe operation of such a tariff would be to removf the only cbecK upon the Trusts tbat cootrol tbe living supplies of the country. He therefore believes in legislation in favor of tbe Trusts, but is against all legislation to protect tbe people against tbem. No Trust combination pays fair living wages. Tbe same monopoly tbat enables tbe Trust to extort from the consumer puts it In its power to grind down the workmen. As prices go up, wsges go down. Such is tbe monopoly rule that Blaine and the Republican party would recdr unassailable by In trenching behind the statutes ot the United States. Mr. Btaine in his anxiety, to champion tbe cause of tbe Trusts undertakes to show tbat such exist in England, and therefore should be encouraged in tho United States, or at least tbat anv at tempt to crush them in the United States would be futile. He takes bis ideas, illustrations, principles and com parisons all from England, where be enjoyed himself so much and was re ceived so well by the aristocracy and by the shoddy lords. His proposition is one to make the rule of shoddy perpetual over the American people. To be sure Mr. Blaine is not tbe can didate of tbe Republican party at least not nominally so. Benjamin Harrisoc was Dominated at Chicago, and should the Republicans carrv the election be would be the nominal President, just as was Rutherford B. Hayes, whom he strikingly resembles. But everyone un derstands that Blaine would be tbe President. In fact, "the power behind the throne is greater than the throne itself." It is Blaine, not Harrison, whom the Republicans bail as their leader. as "tbe greatest living statesman," tbe "un crowned king," the "inspired Moses," wbo is to lead tbem out of tbe wilder ness. It was for Blame that the Re publicans undertook to get up ic New York the greatest reception evt?r givan to an American returning from Europe. It ia to Blaine that men who consti tute tbe Republican majority in the United States havj sunendered, so that his lightest word is their law in prefer ence to their own judgment and even to the decrees of their own caucus. Tbe Republicans in Congress, in solemn con ference, determined to present a bill to revise and reduce taxation, but Blaine intimated his disapproval, and tbe pro ject fell through. He is not tbe "un crowned king" of the American people, because the American people wiil have no king, least of all, a monopoly serviog, aristocratic, false-pretending king like Blaine. But Blaine is king of the Republican party, despot, dictator, absolute ruler, and does with tbat party, its Senators and committeemen, what be will. Thereroie tbe Republican party and every member of it, from Benjamin Harrison down, are bound by the de clarations and proclamations of James G. Blaine, its king. That monarch ha? issued his sovereign decree. It is a decree for the Trusts and against the consumers and tbe la borers of tbe country. There are sym toms of revolt among Republicans, but tuey uare not revolt. Wbat will the people do ? Will they stand uy Blaine, the monopolies, the Republican machine and the Trnsts against tbe prodacers and consumers of of the United States ? Will they hold np their hands for tbe fetters or this uncrowned tyrant, who bas forgotten the spirit of tne institutions of his na tive Jand? Or. will they rise op and proclaim that they will have nothing of this Trnst doctrine, nothing of monopo ly servitnde. nothing of this boastful bnt powerless "uncrow-jed king," but will renounce, defy and ctamp under foot tnis political Stan and all his evil worits . v. j'. .Star. The Cry or t'xtraragance. The Republicans are preparing for a new attempt to ride two horses going in opposite directions, and they are fikely to get another hard fall. Their chief prophet and "uncrowned king" proposed four years ago, as a settled policy for the country, r.igh taxation and extrava gant appropriations. Their platform of this year practically indorses that policy by opposing any reduction of tariff tax ation in tbe face of an enormous sur plus. This is a new departure, it is true. A few years ago many of their present leaders were calling for a revision of the tariff, and a Republican commission actually recommended a reduction in duties of from 2J to 23 per cent., while their platform four years ago made an explicit demaud for tariff revision. Many of their leaders have from time to time made free speeches, and. altogeth er, the party bas occupied a position in every way antagonistic to its present attitude. But in onr, thing it has al ways been consistent, and tLat is in favoring large appropriations. Of late it baa Insisted on extravagance as a publi- virtue. Its answer to the Iresiaent's message about tbe surplus was that but for Democratic stinginess tbe money would have been spent long ago. and then there would have been no surplus. Irs response to the bitter com plaint of business men against locking up our circulat ing medium in the Treas ury has been : "Give us a chance at the appropriations and we will soon get tbe money out." The party has experienced no difficul ty in living up to its professions in this matter. Throughout the present ses sion Republicans in the House have sought to s well every appropriation, and what the House refused to do the Re publican Senate has eagerly done, so .hat tbe House bas had to make tbe beet fight it could to kep down expenditures. Had it not been for tbe small Democratic majority In the House we should have bad to look to Presidential vetoes as the only protection against tbe solving of tbe surplus problem by all sorts of ap propriations in favor of jobs and private interests. Having done all they could to pro mote extravagance, and found them selves hindered and checked at every step by the Democrats, these spend thrifts actually undertake to poinc to tbe appropriations at the present session which fall tar short of their own desires' as evidence of Democratic extra va-I sance. Their cheek is amazing, but tteir prudence is not to be commended If they undertake to make extravagance tbe issue, an examination of tbe facts will not bring about results likely to assist in the re-election of their mem bers in tbe present House of Represen tatives. We hope they will try it ow that tbe Presidency Is safe the siz-j of the Democratic majority in tbe next House begins to be a matter of interest.-X. Y. Star. Elex-trle Bitters.
