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

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

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

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.

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.

Blaine on Trnsts.
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.
