"The Democratic: party stands for
principles. It insists "that no plan of

few. " dnurr ( 'Irirlmid.
Attorney General Hensei. in a
speech at the Montgomery county Demo
cratic convention, last week, compared
Cleveland with Gladstone, and defined
the doctrine of lHniocracy on the tariff.
He predicted that Cleveland would carry
all the northern states except Vermont,
Maine and possihly Pennsylvania.
Tnot f;ti England has had many Prime
Ministers who lived to be octogenarians,
there has leen hut one British Premier
in this century liesides Mr. Gladstone,
aud none in the last, who was in olliee
when past eighty. That aged statesman
was Ixrd Palmerston, who died at his
pott in his eighty-first year, in lHiVTi.
Chairman Carter has had an inter
view with President Harrison and it is un
derstood that he impressed upon the latter
the necessity of an immediate supply of
fat with which to grease the party
wheels. The necessity lieing urgent
they might apply to Carnegie, who
would no doubt plank down lilierally.
A MONSTER bell, one of the largest of
its kind, esecialiy cast for the now
church of the Sacred Heart, on the
Heights of Montmartre, has been com
pleted at Annecy in Savoy. The im
mense instrument, which, when hung in
its lofty osition, w ill Lie audible all over
Paris, weighs, with its clapper, nearly
tons.
A mNLUEi and fifty persons buried
beneath an avalanche in Switzerland,
hundreds of lives lost in the eruption of
Mount Etna, cholera ravaging an in
creasing area in Russia and ten thous
human U ings destroyed by the volcanic
outbreak in the Malay Archipelago make
up a July calamity record which puts
our mercury in the shade.
ANARc lll.-T Al EXANliER BeROMAS, who
tried to assassinate Chairman II. C.
Frick, was given a hearing on Friday,
and in default in giving bail in JJL(KH),
was committed to jail to await trial in
the September sessions. He is Ix-lieved
to be but one of the nest of Anarchists
that are secretly carrying on their nefar
ious ojerations in this country.
It takes ten colunm of space in the
New York World to recapitulate all the
strikes which have occured in protected
industries in this country since the Mc
kinley law went intn effect. The mag
nitude of the list is astounding even to
thexse who have long been convinced
that "protection" protects capital in its
aggressions on labor. Sixteen days after
the act went into effect l,UlH miners at
Dayton, Tenn., struck against a reduc
tion of wages. That was the first; it
has lieen followed by more than four
hundred and seventy-five strikes against
reduction of wages under the ojieration
of the Mckinley tariff. As the World
expresses it, there has lieen no instant
of time since the Mckinley tariff act
went into effect that there has not lieen
in progress, somewhere within the
United Stales, a strike against a proposed
reduction of wages in some protected industry.
Never have American work ingmen,
savs the Harrishurg Patriot, had a plain
er issue upon which to cast their ballost
than they have this year. They have
had plenty of time and abundance of
opportunity to determine the worth of
the liepublioim measures they have U-en
asked to support, and the only thing
now necessary is for them to form
opinions upon their oliservations.
The old cry of free trade and low
wages is U-ing dinned into their ears in
the old style. Well, suppose the tariff
lie lowered, what then? Their wages
cannot lie made any lower than they are
now becom'u g. Wages of American
workingmen are less than by 5 ier
capita than they were a few years ago.
They are being reduced in the protected
industries more than in any other. Let
any man who lielongs to a union of
workimrmen employed in a protected
industry examine the reports of wages
paid to uiemU rs during the existence of
that union. Let him examine the re
ords of strikes and loc kouts and note
why they were declared. There can be
no more eloouent teacher of the fallac
iousness of protection than the records
of protected workingmeVs unions.
It is denied that lower tariff will cause
lower wages. The tariff was reduced on
steel billets, but Mr. Frick said that had
nothing to do with the reduction of
wages at Homestead. The tariff on su
gar was removed altogether, yet work
ingmen in the sugar industry have suf
fered no reductions of wages in conse
quence, neither has American sugar lieen
driven out of the market. Indeed, in
comprehensible as it may apjear from a
Republican standpoint, the production
and sales of American sugar are actually
increasing.
While the wages of workingmen are
Uing reduced the purchasing power
of bis money also liecomcs smaller; he
loses doubly. He loses the amount of
money cut from his usual income and
he pays a tax to the protected manufac
turer. Every workingman knows that
he must pav a tax upon whatever he
imports, but there are some who forget
that they pay an ecjual tax ujion articles
manufactured here, the only difference
being that the tax on inij.xrts g(-s into
the national treasury while the other
goes into the pocket of the manufac tur
er and that the latter is far the greater
in amount.
The issue is plain, and no working
man can afford to ignore it. In fact,
no workingman will. He has lieen
fooled, but will no longer play the fool
for anvbodv's enrichment.
The news from Alabama, says the
Philadelphia Rtronl, is full of encourage
ment for the Democratic party. The
election of the Democratic candidate for
governor by a rousing majority over a
coalition of the Farmer's Alliance, the
Kepubliean party, and dissatisfied Demo
crats, after a rattling campaign, puts an
end to the fear that the South can tie se
duced from its old allegiance by any
side issue. Tlie South is solid. The
leaders of Democracy may, therefore,
give their undivided attention to keep
ing the lemocratic stated of the North
in line, and to pushing the battle for
tariff reform in Massachussetts, New
Hampshire, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin,
Minnesota and Michigan.
The result in Alabama cleares away
the smoke. From henceforth the battle
will be a battle waged in the debatable
stales of the North. The Republican
campaigners will throw no more money
away in dalliance with the Farmer's
Alliance. The soup that was in that
dish has lieen spilt. They will concen
trate their efforts, and their cash, in an
attempt to repeat the achievement of
1SSS, when they really purchased the
presidency with the "fat" friend out of
protected manufac turers.
The people of the I'nited States at the
first opportunity indignantly repudiated
the apparant barirain by which the con
tributors to the Harrison campaign fund
( were ri j aid in tariff legislation for their
cah outlay. They will now have the
opportunity to thrust out, neck and
heels, the president as well as the Con
gress which came into iiowcr as a result
of the election of lsxs. Nothing seems
surer than that the votes of the country
will make the best of their opjiortunity.
The Republican party has done nothing
to deserve further trial.
The president last Friday vetoed the
famous McGarrahan claim bill.
Thirty seven years ago, William Mo
(iarrahan, who alleged that property
owned by him in Southern California,
of the value of alx.ut nine million dol
lars, had been seized and held by out
side parties when valuable mineral de
jiosits were found on the land. For
more than a third of a century, Mctiar
rahan, now a poor man, has prosecuted
his claim lie fore Congress. The bill has
several times passed both branches, but
never till the present session has it re
ceived the sanction of the Senate and
House al the same time.
It is alleged that D. O. Mills, the mil
lionaire father-in-law of Whitelaw Reid,
the Republican candidate for vice presi
dent is one of the "outside parties" who
would lie compelled to disgorge if the
bill had received the president's signa
ture, and it is alleged that this little fact
had much to do with the veto, though
other special reasons are set forth in Mr.
Harrison's veto message. Mr. Mills
w ill no doubt contribute liberally to the
Harrison-Rcid compaign fund.

Washington Letter
Washington-. D. C. July 30th, 1S02.
The World's Fair appropriation is now
struggling in the House with the intense
heat and the olstructive tactics of ttiose
opjiosed to it. The first is driving some
of its friends away, and the last is lieing
engineered by Representative Outhwaite,
of Ohio, who claims to have the pledges
of fifty-one nieinlers to stay here until
Iecemlier, if necessary, to defeat the ap
propriation. A numler of those who
opjMised the appropriation are opposed
on priuciple to the filibustering against
it after, by a vote of 11S to 107, the
House had declared itself in favor of it,
and few people believe that the filibuster
er can succeed. It is, of course, possi
ble that a dead-lock may ensue and the
s ssic n be indefinitely prolonged, but
the impression is general that the con
test will lie short and that Congress will
adjourn next week.
The Republican Senate, feeling some
what ashamed of not having taken any
action on the House bills for the ad
mission of Arizona and New Mexico to
the Union, has adopted a resolution
authorizing the committee on territories
to visit those territories and Utah and
Oklahoma during the recess in search of
information. This is humbug. Sena
tors can obtain no more information
by a personal visit than is already in
their jiossession.
Mr. Harrison has, I am informed by
good authority, sent a confidential mes
senger to Andrew Carnegie to come to the
rescue of the protective tariff and the
Republican party by ordering a settle
ment of the Homestead strike. Mr.
Harrison's man Carter who was at the
the White House this week told him
that some arrangement must le made
that would le satisfac tory to the locked
out men, or organized lalor would hold
the Republican party resonsible for the
whole affair.
Senator Vest seldom fails to start the
heavy roarers of the Republican menag
erie w hen he oj,ens his batteries, and his
masterly, although hastily prepared, an
swer to Senator Aldrich's long and care
fully studied out defense of the Republi
can jiolicy of protecting favored class
at the exjiense of the imisses, was no ex
ception in that resjiect. He cited the
Homestead carnage as proof of the
truthfulness of St-nator Aldrich's state
ment that the most amicabie relations
exist lietween employers in the United
States, and to show that the Rhode Is
land Senator's remarks aliout the agri
cultural prosperity of the country was
no nearer being true, Mr. Vest stated
that the price of farm lands, which was
the test of agricultural prosperity, had
steadily gone down in Missouri and the
other largely agricultural states, and the
statement was greeted with a roar of dis
satisfaction from Paddock, Davis, Petti
grew and Allison, on the Republican
side. Mr. Vest then compelled Senator
Allison to admit that he had made a
Speech once in which he said that the
Iowa farmers had not been benefited by
the duty on wind, and the only explana
tion Allison could give for his change of
front was that he had changed his mind.
He made a strong joint on the question
of who pays the tariff tax by cjuoting a
a letter written to Mckinley by an Irish
car-driver in Washington, who had to
pay J 3 duty on a dozen pairs of socks
sent to him by his mother in Irland, say
ing that be had read Mckinley'sspteches
stating that the tariff tax was paid by the
foreigners, and asking to what foreign
government he should apply to have
that ?; refunded. "Will the Senator
read Mr. Mckinley's reply ?" asked Sen
ator Pasco. "If it ever comes, I will,"
replied Mr. Vest.
Senator Carlisle replied to tiiat portion
of Senator Aldrich's speech which at
tempted to turn into Republican cam
paign material the facts brought out by
the Senate committee, of which Aldrich
was chairman and Carlisle and Harris
the Democratic members, in a manner
which convicted the Rhode Islander of
intense partisanship, not to give it a
worse name.
In view of the criticism of the manner
in which the examinations of national
banks has lieen conducted under this
administration, Mr. Harrison's selection
of A. B. Hepburn, who has leen the
examiner of National banks for New
York city, to le comptroller of the cur
rency vice I-acey resigned to lecome
president of a Chicago national bank, is
not regarded as a movement towards re
form. Representative Coomlis, of New York,
is chairman of a sub committee, of the
House, which has has beeu authorized
to investigate the Reading railroad coal
deal during the recess. The other meni
lers of the committee are Patterson, of
Tennessee, Li ml, of Minnesota, Stoper,
of Ohio, and Wise, of Virginia, ex-ollicio
who is chairman of the commerce com
mittee. Mr. Harrison might be excused for
chuckling a little when Senators Quay
and Cameron were compelled, by lack of
support in the shape of votes, to with
draw their opposition to the confirma
tion of Mr. Shiras as a Justice of the
Supreme court, thus acknowledging
themselves to be knocked out.

"Otto kempuer, hsep:
"Dear Sir I thank you for the copy
of the resolutions passed at a meeting of
independent German-American citizens,
held in the city of New York on the 13th

your letter tra nsmitting these resolutions.
It is most gratifying to receive the as
surances of support from a body made
up of those who think independently in
political matters, and who, in the lan
guage of your, resolutions, 'are accus
tomed to place welfare of the country
above partisan considerations.'
"I fully understand the value of such
supIort, and knowing full well the ef
fectiveness and usefulness of effort on
the part of our German-American citi
zens when aroused to action in any
cause, I cannot but regard the assuram-es
containeel in your resoletions as of the
utmost importance.
"Please assure your associates in this
action of my gratitude anil appreciation,
and convey to them my extermination
to deserve the goexl opinion w hich they
now entertain for me.

A Memorable Sight.
Wro ester, Mass., July 31. Crowds
who came to see lYofessor Blondie Wil
lis' twtloon ascension on Friday, wit
nessed a sight they will not soon forget.
A heavy thunder sterm came up and
the lialoon escajied from the crowd try
ing to hold it. One luckless spectator,
IVnjamin Long was caught by the right
foot in a loop of the anchor rope and
carried heavenwards head down. The
balloon shot upwards. Long was swayed
to and fro in his frantic endeavors to get
into the parachute. Two thousand
waitetl with Iwted breath to see the un
lucky man brained on a house chimney
or daubed to dewth on the ground.
From the very first Ixng made efforts
to save himself. His poor old mother
was in the crowd and was almost para
lyzed with horror as she saw her son
hanging by his foot. Far up in the
gloom and darkness flashes of lightning
revealed his position in the air and just
when death seemed certain from collision
with the Young Men's Christain Asso
ciation boathouse he caught by chance
the cutoff rote of the parachute and
and ilropped like a shot fifty feet. Then
the big umbrella filled and he landed
safelv.
May Fnd in a Duel.
Congressman lioatner aud Watson got
into a cjuarrel yesterday during the ses
sion of the Cobb investigation committee
that may result in a resort to arms, j
.vir. i;oiiD explained tiiat while arguing
the Noyes-Rockwell case he was ex- :
hausted by overwork on the matter and j
an attack of grip, and that he took a '
little lieef tea and whisky but was far .
from drunk. j
Mr. Watson also made a statement
saying he had not intended to bring '
Judge Cobb into this matter personally.
His charge was a general one, aud in
tended to reflect upon the House for
jiermitting such action. He still le
lieved that Judge Cobb was intoxicatd.
Then hot wejrds were exchanged be
fween Mr. Watson and Mr. Boatner,
each at firming that he would not avoid
the other. Friends of Boatner and Wat
son fear a personal encounter may result
from the quarrel. Both come from
stats where the code duello is recognized
and both are fearless men and have re
cords as coming out victorious in previ
ous affairs of honor.
