Ik the UriCf advocate.' had the least
confidence in the merits of their cause
they never would resort to so mean and
dishonest a shift hs to publish forged
extract from English newspapers.
These forgeries are a confession that
the tariff system of robbery cannot be
successfully defended before the people
with houest and legitimate weapons.
Is New York the customs officials, on
Sunday last, were worrying over the advent
of twantv-four young Sweedlnh women,
ranging In age from 19 to 23 years, who
came Into th couutry under contract.
Their contracts were with twenty-four
young mm who were wanting wives, and
after examining the law the Inspector per
mitted them to land, being or the, opinion
that the law acalnst contract labor had not
been infringed in this case.
The earnings of labor savs the Pbila
phla Jiecord. are but IS percent, of the
whole product of manufacturing opera
tions in the United States. If nothing
at all should be paid to foreign labor,
therefore, IS per cent, of tariff tax
would cover the difference in wages,
How monstrous it Is, in the face of this
fact, which the census returns estab
lish, to insist that a tax of $17 in the
$ 100 shall not be reduced to $40 ia the
5100 because it would leave our laboring
men unprotected !

From Tresldent Clevelana'a Letter of Acceptance.
The platform adopted by the late
National convention of our party con
tains the following declaration :
.J'jJved by Democratio principles, the
interests r the people are betrayed
when by unnecessary taxation trusts
and combinations are permitted and
fostered, which, while unduly enriching
the few that combine, rob the body of
our citizens by depriving them as pur
chasers ef the benefits of natural com
petition. Such combinations have always been
condemned by the Democratic party.
The declaration of its National conven
tion is sincerely made, and no member
of our party wilt be found excusing the
existence or belittling the pernicious
results of these devices to wrong the
people. Under various natues they have
been punished by the common law for
bnndieds of years, and they have lost
none of their hateful features because
they have assumed the name of trusts
instead of conspiracies.
We believe that these trusts are the
natural offspring of a market artificially
restricted ; that an inordinately high
tariff, besides furnishing the tempta
tion for their existence, enlarges the
limit within which they may operate
against the people, and thus increases
the extent of their power for wrong
doing. With an unalterable hatred of all
such schemes, we count the checking of
their baleful operations among the good
results promised by revenue reform.
While we cannot avoid partisan mis
representation, our position upon the
Question of revenue reform should be so
plainly stated as to admit of no misun
derstanding. We have entered upon, no crusade of
free trade. The reform we seek to in
augurate is predicted upon the utmost
care for established industries and en
terprises, a jealous regard for the inter
ests of American Ianor, and a sincere
desire to relieve the country from the
injustice and danger of a conditio
which threatens evil to all the people of
the land.
We are dealing with no imaginary
danger. Its existence has been repeat
edly confessed by all political parties
and pledges of a remedy have been made
on all sides. Yet whan in the legisla
tive body, where, under the constitu
tion, all remedial mearures applicable
to this subject must originate, the
Democratic majority were attempting
with extreme moderation to redeem the
pledge common to both parties they
were met by determined opposition and
obstruction, and, the minority, refusing
to co-operate in the House of Ilepre
sentatives or propose another remedy,
have remitted the redemption of their
party pledge to the doubtful power of
the Senate.
The people will hardly be deceived by
their abandonment of the field of legis
lative action to meet in political conven
tion and flippantly declare in their party
platform that our conservative and
careful effort to relieve the situation is
destructive to toe American system of
protection. Nox will the people be
misled by the appeal to prejudice con
tained in the absurd allegation that we
serve tho interests of Enpope while they
will support the interests of America.
They propose In their platform to
thus support the interests of our country
by removing the internal reveuue tax
trom toboacco and from spirits used in
the arts and for mechanical purposes.
They declare also that there should be
such a revision of our tariff laws as
shall tend to check the importation of
such articles as are produced here.
Thus in proposing to increase the du
ties upon such articles to nearly or quite
a prohibitory poiut. they confess them
selves willing to travel backward In the
road of civilization and to deprive our
people of the markets for their goods
which can only be gained and kept by
the semblance, at least, of an inter
change of business, while they abandon
our consumers to the unrestiained op
pression of the domestic trusts and
conitdcailons which are in the same
platform perfunctorily condemned.
Full returns from the election in
Maine held on Monday of last week
show that the Democrrts have gaine
on the vote of 1S84. At the election
in that State in September 1S84 the Re
publican caadidate for Governor had
19,801 plurality, wb.Ua this year. Bur.
leiah the Republican candidate for tbi
sime oflice has only 18,495 a Itebub!!
can loss of 1.33J. In 1SS4 the Itennbli
can candidate for Governor had 77.0-21
votes, this year 70,603 a gain on the vote
of 1S3 1 of 21 per cent. The Democratic
candidate for Governor In 1SS4 had
53.070 votes, this year Gl.lOS a Demo
cratic gain of 5 per cent. This, gain,
in the strong Republican State of Maine
where Blaine boasted before the election
the Republican would have 30.000
majority, indicates that the tide, all
over the country is with the Democrats.
The same rate of gain at the Presi
dential election wilt enable the Demo
crats not utjly to hold the States they
carried in 1SS4 but will give them in
addition California, Nevada Michigan,
Illinois and Minnesota.
IIoriNO to frighten American workt
legmen, the high-tariff organs have per
sistently iterated and reiterated the fact
that tb rates of wages are higher to the
United States than In Great Britain.

Fare Democratic rnnclpels.
rarties to numerous to mention have
risen in this country for special par
poses, fulfilled their missions and
vauihed. But from the foundation of
the Government of the United States
the Democratic party has lived, because
its central tenet and principels ar co
equal and co-existent with the founda
tion stones of the great national fabric.
The principles of Thomas Jefferson, the
opposition to centralization, special
privileges and special classes, the for
wardingfof equality before the law. and
citiaen sovereignty. These are the fixed
principles of oar governmental system
and the party bnilt on them will last as
long as the system. The vanishing par
ty now on the scene of action is the
Republican paity. It has fulfilled its
mission and must give way.
Why must It disappear ? Simply be
cause, having performed its mission, it
has become the party of special privi
leges. The party of 6pecial classes.
The party or centralization. The party
of commercial restriction for the benefit
of the few. It does not recognize equal
ity before the law, bnt puts vested
privilege above citizen sovereignty ;
recognizes the creature as superior to
the creator. And for these reasons it is
doomed to otter dissolution.
No matter what the Chicago platform
and Mr Harrison may say of trade com
binations, Mr blalne is the true expo
nent of the history of his party when he
says "trusts are private affairs." For
under the Republican party has gtown
up that public sentiment confined al
most exclusively to that party that
corporate privileges belong irrevocably
to the corporations ; that eminent do
main may become corporate property,
to be used as the managers of a corpor
ation may dictate. That public creed
that holds it to be an inalienable right
of corporate creatures to nse their
powers to extract as mncb profit from
their business as the traffic will bear.
That their operations are properly pri
vate and should not be opened to publio
Inspection. In short, that corporations
and those associations of corporations
known as trust are "private affairs."
Opposed to this sentiment is the fun
damental principle of pure Democracy,
that the lands and the Government are
the property of tb people. That the
grant of a corporate franchise by the
government ot the people to associated
Individuals, either native or foreign,
implies a contract that such franchise
shall be paid for in advantages to tb
people, and aot merely that it may inure
to the benefit of tb few to whom the
grant is made. And the Stat being a
party to that contract and the owner of
its chief property, namely, its franchise.
is entitled to full knowledge of all its
transactions and to the chief benefits
derived therefrom.
The States of this great Union have
set limit upon the profits of capital by
declaring interest on money above a
rate ranging from 5 to 12 per centum per
annum to be unry and illegal. The
standard of the United States is C per
centum, corporations ate merely asso
ciations of capital for profit and the
limit of their legal profit is the legal rate
of interest. No more, no less. Over
and abov that belongs to the people
wno give tne franchise under which
these operations are carried forward.
The amount of profit a corporation is
entitled to is not fixed specifically by
law. not it SDOuid oe. The principle,
bowever, is well established and is tbe
article, parexcelleneeof the Democratic
faith, and the principle, par excellence.
on which government of, for aud by It
people is oasea
On this principle it is Democratic be
lief that corporations and associations
of corporations are not private bnt pub
lic anairs. Tbe public, wbich is the
owner of the chief property of these
associations, has a tight to have full and
free access to all the books, accounts
and details of such associations, and Is
entitled to all benefits above the legal
profit og invested capital.
Railroads, granted eminent domain,
have capitalized twice tbeir value and
extract from the people interests on their
bonds and dividends on their stocks in
violation of this principle. To do this
they extracted f 1G.46 cents pr capita
rrom tne population or tbis country in
lsbc and profits to tbe amount of
To. 93 per capita. This le a serious
tax on the productive forces of the
country. The manufacturing corpora
tions in their tnrn extracted about 200
per capita in prons frcm their ouera
(ions and to on through the list. That
tbe manufacturers may have born the
heaviest part of tbe burden of transporta
tion or the railroad stock and bond
holders more of the extraction of the
manufacturers than other people makes
no ainerence in tbe ultimate result.
which Is that these people with epecit I
privileges ultimately secure the bulk of
all tne wealth produced by the country.
That If they took no more than a legal
raie or -.merest ror actual capital in
vested either tbe total exactions from
the people would not exceed one-third of
the present rate, or wages as an element
in the cost or production and transpor
tation would be doubled, tbe effect in
either case being exactly tbe same.
Tbe railroad kings and manufactur
ing princes are fully aware of all this
and they know full well tbe uses of a
high tariff for tbe protection of (his
un-American and nn-Demoeratic
system. Tbey occupy the position of
privileged classes and are upheld In tbeir
privileges by the Republican party.
Tbey are the) equivalent of tbe privileged
leeches of Europe. Under monarchial
forms of government special privileges
are conceded to be right. Under Demo
cratic forms tbey are held to be wrong.
Let us, therefore, a:et back to the Dem
ocratic principles for wbich the war of
the revolution was waged. P'Utslnera

Sherman declared that no Tariff bill
would be reported from the Senate
Finance Committee "until after the
hearing of every man who would be af
fected by tbe bill ; " and Senator Alli
son added further that. "In view of ibe
reduction of the Burplus to 120,000.000,
there was not that exigency for a reduc
tiou ot revenue which bad existed."
It is evidently not good for tbe Sen
ate majority to remain so long In the
atmosphere of Waehirgton officialism.
They lose sight, in the murky distances
ana aepibs or Senatorial survey, of
what the people are looking at' and
thinking about. Surrounded by evi
dences of tbe practical value of success
in politics, they are tempted to scheme
and plan for victory without taking into
account tbe interests and desires of tbe
people, who by thair ballots may dictate
all legislation and lay down lines of
policy to be persued by their servants in
public station. But the American peo
ple will not fail to discern, through all
the wasteful extravagance of the Senate
majority, back of its aristocratic mso
lecce. aud underlying the paralysis It
bas brought upon legislative action, a
spirit of careless disregard for their in
terests wbich could not possibly be ex
hibited by men in sympathv with their
needs and aspirations. These Senators
have presumed to Ignore an important
measure of relief for American wage
earners and taxpayers, unconscious of
of tbe fact that not Revenue IWorm
but they themselves are on trial before
the country. Their unwise and unpa
triotic course in this regard bas closed
to them the avenues of public confidence
and, whatever measure of Revenue Re
duction may herearter be adopted, it
will certainly not be one stamped with
the approval of this Senatorial junto
1'hxla. lUccrrd.
The President bas signed tbe bill to
prevent the further immigration of
Chinese laborers to this country. It Is
DO.a Uw ni there Is no doubt that it
will be rigidly enforced. It originated
In a Democratic House, where it was
unanimously passed. Among the Re
publicans of the Senate there was some
disposition shown to cavil at Its provi
sions and delay its passage, but tbe feel
lug 00 the subject on tbe Pacific coast
was so strong that few Republicans
dared to vote against It,
There is a dieposttion among some
good people to criticise th provision of
tbe bill as harsb. and the haste that bas
marked its passage, while a treaty is
still peodlnc. aa discourteous to tbe
Chinese Empire.
If there ia any truth in thes charge
the Republican majority In the Senat
mos. bear the whole blame, Tbe Presi
dent had negotiated witbCbinaafrlend.
Iy treaty that met the ease. Oat of
mere malignant partisan perversity the
Republican Senate refused to ratify tbe
treaty, aod Instated on amendments that
probably have cansed its rejection by
China. Then came tb cris: that tbe
I resident bad wisely sought to avoid
by aipluinacy.
It could i.l be denied that in the ab
ensof th treaty stipulations a flood
of Chines immigrants was pouring
Into the country. There was no time
for hesitation or parley. In view of tbe
facts. Something had to be done, and
don at once. Mr. Scott of Pennsyl
vania introduced bis bill, and it bas
swiftly become a law. The immigra
tion will be stopped, and If this is not
accomplished in accord with Chineso
views tbe fault lies with tboee who
caused tbe delay In the ratification of
the treaty ,X. Y. Star.
