about carry ing Ohio for his party, though
he does venture the assertion that Illi

about equal pat Is.

rr miniT nnman in public life' has
been more eagerly nought by the publish
ers and editors of the critical reviews
than Governor McKinley. of Ohio, and le
was recently offered a tempting euo for
an article upon current topics. McKin
ley, however, holds to the same opinion
that Mr. White does. He believes that
the writer of such an article as would be
expected from him would receive pecu
niary recognition commensurate with
public recognition. The editor of one of
the greatest reviews, in speaking of Mc
Kinley, said "it would require almost as
large a sum as was paid Gladstone, per
haps quite as large, to induce him to
write a review article, and yet I am of
opinion that what he might write would
be worth the money."
Tui importation of the vast hordes of
undesirable immigrants has been stop
ped to a great extent for the current year,
and if Congress is wise it will see. that it
is stopped for the first eight or nine
months of 181. The frantic efforts of
the foreign steamships to ruh these peo
ple over, no matter what their condition,
shows that tbey are utterly indifferent to
the health of both the immigrants and
the millions of Americans among wnom
the immigrants must land. It may teach
them a needed lesson to have the main
avenue ti their profits closed for a year
or two, and opened later upon the basis
of a clearer understanding. In the mean
time we shall not suffer to any great ex-
teut.here. There is labor enongn m me
country, the closing of the ports to these
immigrants will not injure American cap
ital and in the intervalithe! latest arriv
als will have a cliance to study our con
stitution and prove their qualifications
for citizenship.
Tue Washington Put, commenting on
the report cf Labor Commissioner Feck,
the New York Domocratic oiaciai, on
' the effect of the tariff on wages and U
bor," makes some remarks that contain
very profound suggestions. Democrats
ought to s.udy this paragraph attentive
ly: "A vear ago he Mr. Peck claimed in
Li report that the effect of strikes and
libor agitation was to increase wages,
lie illustrates this by dates and tabular
statements, and made out, in fact, a very
creditable ynma f icit case. A few weeks
ago, when the Ilomest?ad troubles broke
out, the Democratic organs, almost with
out exception, united in the vehement
declaration that they were the direct and
logical fruit of protection. How, there
fore, could Peck, as a loyal Democrat,
6peak otherwise than he did ? His in
vestigations had Eitistied him that strikes
and disturbances tended to raise waires,
the I democratic leaders and newspajer
asserted practically with one voice, that
protection lay at the root of strikes
w hat conclusion was possible to him ex
cept the conclusion that the McKinley
tariff operated to increase the wo-kmg-iiian's
wages?"
Protection the Great Issue.
From tha X. Y. Mail and Express.
President Harrison's letter accenting the
nomination of the Republican National Con
vention is a document that of itself would
rank him among our greateM statesmen.
Comprehensive in scope, broad and liberal
in tone, infueed with vigorous American
rjitriotisra in every line, logical in argument,
full of mobt convincing facts and figures, it
is fitted to become the political text book
for every campaign orator and to arou?e the
pride of every true patriot
It is needless to s.iy that the President ac
cepts in every part as his own declaration of
principles the piatfurm constructed by the
representatives of the Republican arty at
M,nneapuliy, Unlike the Democratic party
the Republican party is united in its devo
tion to certain principles. Unlike the dem
ocratic party, it can point with pardonable
pride to its history and iat achievements as
an earnest of the future. The history of
this a lministration is now part of the Re
publican record, and a part of which the
larty is as proud as of any similar period of
its conduct of government affairs.
President Harri.on nizs fully the debt
that he owes, that the Republican jurty
owes, that the whole nation cvi-3, to the
able and energetic a-ssisUmts who have help
ed him in the various departments of execu
tive administration. To Mr. Rlaine he pays
the handsome tribute of an especial ac
knowledgment of his great service in urging
the reciprocity policy and adding its crown
ing feature to the great Republican Tariff
act of li'.O.
Coming to the great issues that are now
before us, the President, brushing away all
democratic attempts at subterfuge or evasion
at one stroke of his jien, perceives and points
out with unerring judgment that the great
question now before the American people is
the continuance of the protective system.
He shows that whereas in other campaigns
the democracy have recognized the principle
of protection and feared to disclose them
selves as really free traders, now, under
more courageous leadership, they have come
out fully and frankly as would be destroy
ers of the policy that has built up American
industries and protected American homes,
and are pledged to the total overthrow of
our entire tariff system. On this point the
President appeals to the intelligence of
voters :
"There is not a thoughtful business man in
the country who docs not know that ths en
actment into law of the declaration of the
Chicago Convention, upon the subject of the
tariff, would at once plunge the country into
a business convulsion such as it has never
seen; and there is not a thoughtful working
man who does not know that it would at once
enormously reduce the amount of work to
be done in this country, by the increase of
importations that would follow, and necessi
tate a redaction of his wages to the Euro
pean sndard.''
"That is what the democratic party is
pledged to pledged by the utterance of its
leaders iu Congress ; pledged by the message
of .ts last President in 1 S'.T ; pledged -oleain-!y,
and by a gn at tuijor-iy of its delegates
in its rational platform, adopted after long
debate by i:s national convention. But if
any one supposes that the lrt', once in
ower, wouid not !are to carry out these
pledges, the President has a word for him :
If any one suggests that this radical poli
cy will not be executed if the democratic
party attains power, w hat shall be thought
of a party that is capable of thus trilling
with great interest? The threat of such
legislation wouid be only less hurtful than
the fact A distinguished democrat rightly
descrilied this movement as a challenge to
the protected industries to a fight of ex '.er
minaliun, and another such liLiy express
j the logic of the situation when he inter
preted the Chicago platform to be an invita
tion to all democrats bolJing even the mot
moderate protection views to go into t m Re
publican party ."
Certainly no party that so juries with
the "people'i interests ought to be trusted
wuhUie conduct of the government The
Piesident is right. The paramount issue of
the campaign is protection, and t1 .it issue
tbe democrats cannot dodge nor evade cor
obscure.

THE THREE GREAT ISSUES. I I
I 1 I
Blaine Says They Are the Tariff
Reciprocity and Sound Money,
The following litter irora non. James G.
Rlaine, to Chairman Mauley, of the Maine
Republican State Committee, has been made
public :
IUa Hakbok, Mr, Sept. 3, IX2.
Tn the B-jn. Joffj.h IT. ilunley, ChairMan, He,
AiHmuta, Me.:
Mr De Sib: Not being able, for rea
sons which I bawexplained to you, to de
liver public speeches in this campaign,
take tbe liberty of submitting my views on
the ia-ne". which I reeanl as being the
strongest for the Republicans to urge be
fore the people.
First The issue of the greatest conse
quence is the tariff on imports, and it will
continue to be until a seUlerci nt is effected
by a majority so large that it will be tanta
mount to general acquiescence. The Repub
licans are aggressive on this subject Two
years ago tbey pa.sed a general enactment
known as tbe McKin'.ev tariff, which for a
time failed to meet with popular approval
and was retmrded with a certain degree of
distrust by those who had always upheld
the protective system. Put a powerful re
action has eome in consequence of tbe vin
dication of the McKinley tariff by experi
ence. It is found to have worked admira
bly and within the last year has produced a
greater volume of business, internal and ex
ternal, import and export than the United
States ever transacted before. Notwith
standing tbe character and extent of the op
position to it, agriculture is remunerative,
manufactures are prosperous and commerce
is more flourishing than at any previous
time, thus vindicating the McKinley tariff
by an impressive and undeniable series of
facts.
Against this tariff the Democratic I 'arty
have taken a position almost without paral
lel in the history of the country. They re
ject entirely the doctrine of protection, pro
nounce it a fraud and anathematize it gen
erally. A resolution to this effect was
adopted by the Ieniocraiic convention,
against the report of the Committee on Res
olutions, by a two-third vote, thus manifest
ing the intelligent participation of every
man in the convention. Sometimes a reso
lution may be adopted in haste, or when
the convention is adjourning it may fail to
receive tbe attention of members, but this
resolution was adopted pro and con, after a
conti-st, and was perfectly understood by the
members of the convention. It is contain
ed in these words :
TriC PEMOlBATie KEKCNC1ATIO.
We denounce Republican protection as a
fraud upon the labor of the great majority
of the A nierican people for the benefit of a
few. We declare it a fundamental principle
of the Ieniocratic party that the Federal
povernment has no constitutional power to
impose and collect tariU duties, except for
the purpo-e of revenue only. We demand
that the- collection of such taxes be limited
to the nec-isities of the Government, when
honestly and economically administered.
If anyone will take the trouble to read the
resolution by which Mr. Calhoun sought to j
defend his nullification scheme in liiS, he
will find the tariff platform of the Demo
cratic party in general harmony therewith,
and if he examines the subject further he
will discover that the duties in the compro
mise tariff, which reconciled Mr. Calhoun
and arteased his anrry followers in South
Carolina, were of a more comprehensive
character than those contemplated in the
lemocratic resolution in 1S02.
The Democrats are in the habit of nam
ing Jefferson as the founder of their party ;
and yet on the subject of tariff, they are in
radical opiwsition to the principles laid
down by Jefferson. Toward the close of his
administration the revenue from the tariff
on imports produced a considerable surplus,
and the question was what should be done:
should the tariff be reduced or should this
surplus be maintained ? Jefierson pointed
ly asked : " Shall we suppress the imports
and give that advantage to foreign over do
mestic manufacturers?'' 'For himself he
recommended that "the imports be main
Limed," and that the surplus created
should be appropriated to the improvement
of roads, canals, rivers and education."
If the Constitution did not give sufficient
power to warrant these appropriations, Jeff
erson went so far as to recommend that it
be amended. This presents the strongest
condition of affairs upon which a protective
tariff can be justified and Jefferson did not
hesitate to recommend it The Democrats
of tbe present day, it is needless to say, are
the direct opponents of the policy which
Jefferson thus out! ned and advocated.
BENEFITS OF RECIPROCITY.
Second When the principle of reciprocal
trade was first proposed to be introduced in
to the tariff Fyslem, the Democrats showed
much generous appreciation of the question
and gave it their shpport so long as Repub
licans refused to accept it, but when the Re
publicans catoe to approve it the Democrat
ic support vanished, and, instead of favor
ing, we find the Democratic National Con
vention passing a resolution hostile to the
system. Rut in spite of Democratic opposi
tion, we have attained, thronga reciprocity,
a new and valuable trade, and the system
has demonstrated its many advantages. We
were about to declare sugar, molasses, cof
fee and hides free of all duties, in the Mc
Kinley bill, but instead of that we passed a
law, by which we asked the several nations
interested what they would give to have
their articles made free. We found that the
privileges which we were about to give with
out cost and without charge would secure a
large trade in R.-azi!, ia Cuba and Porto Ri
co, and ia the Windward and Leeward Isl
ands, in British Guiana and Jamaica, San
Domingo and the five Central American
States and to a minor di-gree in Australia,
Franc and Germany, all in exchange for
the articles which we had intended to gratu
itously admit The free liet of the McKin
ley tariff is larger in the number of articles
and in the aggregate amount of their import
vaiue than the dutiable lut bat would
have been the result to the L sited .State if
every article, before it was put on the free
list, had beta made the subject of inquiry to
see what we could get in exchange, for it
e omitted to do so for many years, and
that neglect has cost the Government ad
vantagesin trade which would have amount
ed to tens of millions of dollars.
This is the whole of the reciprocity
scheme. It is very plain and very simple.
It secures a valuable trade in exchange for
articles otherwise destined to be put on the
free lut The Democratic party think tbey
can discredit it, and they make the effort
apparently for the unpatriotic reason that
they did not originate it
THE BLESSI5U OF THE WAS.
Third With all its calamities, the war
brought us one great blessing National
currency. Tiiere are many who still say
that it w as worth the cost of the war to
bring ahuut so auspicious a result to capital
and labor. Prior to the war we had the
worst curreney system of any enlightened
nition in the world. The State banks, with
some exceptions, were thoroughly irrespon
sible. They existed by thousands through
out the United Slates. Wherever one of
them failed, the result was a Urge lobs and
great distrees to the people. No one was re
sponsible for their bills and they were gen
erally found K-attered in the pockets of la
boring men to whom they were a total loss,
without any redemption whatever. Of tbe
Sttttbank it was often an J truly said that
their debts were the measure of their profits.
Tbey have caused an aggregate loss of hund
reds of millions of dollars among the poor.
Since the close of the war all this is differ
en Fiery paper dollar that circulates
among the people baa the United Stales be
hind it as a guarantee. All the banks that
exist are under the control of tbe National
Government, and if tbey fail as financial in
stitutions the government has taken care
that their bills shall be paid by securities de
posited in Government vaults. Under these
circumstances it is s matter of extraordina
ry surprise that the Democratic convection
tbouid deliberately pass resoluUoas for the
revival of State banks. The pslpeble effect
of th'a policy, if carried out, wonld be to
cheat the poor msn out of bis daily bread.
If Stale bat k be adopted and their circula
te n attain a Urge issue, no device could be j
more deadly for the deception and despoil-
Ilshcst of all ia Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report.
ABSOLUTELY PUSS
men t of all the commercial and laboring
classes. How the Democratic convention
came to make such a declaration, who was
its author, what intelligent purpose was in
it, will remain a mystery. I have beard
the argument adduced that we would keep
the money at home if State banks were in
stituted ; but we should ke-p it at borne be
cause it would be so worthless that nobody
would lake it abroad. Were tbe system of
State banks revived we would again have
discounts at the State lines; larje charges
for drafts on financial centers, and genera
suspicion of every bill offered in payment,
with a liquidation every few years that
would be a destructive loss to tbe innocent
holders of bills and a corresponding profit to
the parties owning the banks.
The three issues which I have given are
the issues upon which I would arraign the
Democratic party. I would not multiply is
sues nor be diverted by our opponents from
a steadfast adherence to the constant presen
tation of these questions before the people
until every voter is made to know and un
derstand their true and weighty signifi
cance. Very sincerely yours,
JaxesG. Blaise.
The Wildcat Wauling.
The Southern Democratic press is enthu
siastic in advocating tbe plank of their plat
form which advocates the repeal of the 10
per cent Ux on State banks. The Atlanta
CoiwtiliUiun thinks that if we "repeal this
tax and any community in our State that
has men of bonor and integrity can, under
proper regulation, issue bills that will serve
as currency just as well as national bank
bills or gold or silver. If a man wants to
use his money in New York or Chicago he
takes this local currency to tbe bank and
buys exchan;-e on those places. Their bills
are not a legal tender. You need not take
them unless you know they are good."
This is s bolder advocacy of tbe old wild
cat banking system than has yet been seen
during the campaign. Under the old sys
tem men of honor and integrity could and
did issue bills that would serve as currency.
A great many men of no honor and without
utegrity did the same thing. A few of the
alter kind would serve to discredit the
whole issue of their State or city in neigh
boring money centers. Even that that was
good was good only for a few miles from
the place of its issue. By taking it into the
next State one wouldhave to discount it and
pocket a loss. " Detectors" containing elab
orate lists of the different banks of issue and
the rates of discount on their bills at differ
ent places had to be carefully studied by ev
ery man doing business. rote-sliavers
made the money that business men lost by
these discounts. A man who had good mon
ey would often not be able to get tbe face
value of it, and often tbe failure of a bunk,
organized esjiecially to issue currency, would
leave no one responsible to pay the face val
ue, i ue ion. uuti'ia is traiiK in advocating
this bad and dangerous old system and
knows it would be the natural result of the
repeal of the State bank tax. Here is the
hope it extends :
"What do they lend money on when they
take our 6 per cent, bonds at sixty and sev
enty cents on the dollar ? Don't they lend
it on tbe faith and good credit of the bor
rower? Then why can't we bank on our
own faith and credit, and get rid of this out
rageous toll. There is but one thing iu the
way, and it is this tax of 10 per cent on
currency."
The fact that your six per cent bonds bring
only "sixty and seventy cents on the dollar''
is pretty good evidence of the condition a
currency issue I on your own "faith und
credit" would soon get into. United States
Government bonds bearing 2 per cent in
terest sell in the market at par dollar for
dollar. Under the present banking system
those bonds stand pledged aad held for the
circulation of the national banks. No one
ever lost a dollar or bad to discount a dollar
of national bank notes.
All Clubs Eligible.
Any Republican club in Pennsylvania
that has been organized for three months
can be represented in the convention of the
State League of Republican clubs, which is
to meet in Williarasport on September 2Stb.
The Executive Committee of the League
settled that question last week at a meeting
in Philadelphia by rescinding the resolution
adopted last year, which required a club to
Iay its initiation fue and dues at least six
months before a convention in order to se
cure representation.
The adoption of that resolution last year
shut out a number of bona fide clubs and
created considerable dissatisfaction in all
parts of the State. In order to placate the
clubs which were shut out of last year's
convention after they had paid their initia
tion fees and dues it was decided that
their representatives should be admitted to
the Williamsport convention and that these
clubs should not pay any dues for liJl.
As a result of the action of the Executive
Committee any club that pays its dues the
day before the convention meets can send
in delegates to the convention aud they will
be admitted. This being a Presidential year
and as there have already been a great many
new clubs formed it is the desire of the Ex
ecutivc Committee to give tliem every op
portunity to join the State League.

Just Home From the War,
Noeeistows, Pa., Sept. 8. As John Bisb
ing, of London, O., sat in the public square
to-day reading the names of fallen heroes
inscribed on the soldiers' monument, he
was startled to find Lis own name among
the rest Bisbing went to ths war in 1SC1
from Gwynend, was wound at AntieUm
and sent to a hospital. After the war Le
went to London, O., where Le Las since
lived. He came here to visit old friends for
the first time since the war. He says be
never knew until to day that the people
here thought him dead, and cannot explain
Low the report became current
The Great Review at Washington.
The national encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic will be held st Wash
ington September lath to 2 tin, li'Ji. The
occasion will undoubtedly attract the largest
number of veterans ever assembled on a
similar occasion, aud the review will be tbe
moat imposing demonstration ever witnessed
in this country since the historic review of
the army in ISco. It will be the event of
lifetime, as never again will there be so large
a gathering of old soldiers in any city of the
land.
In order that every one may witness the
grand spectacle the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company will sell excursion tickets to
Washington from all principal ticket sta
tions on its system, September 1-ith to 2oth,
valid for return until October 10th, 1 02, st
a single fare for the round trip. Ample
facilities will be afforded for the prompt
movement of all visitors.
Killed His Bride.
rrTTsnfEO, Sept, 9. Frank Garvin,
newspaper artist, aged 23, shot his wife Cora
through the heart about noon Friday at their
home on Avery street Allegheny. The
couple were married last Tuesday, and the
cause of the deed is supposed to have been
insane jealousy. Mrs. Garvin was 20 and
very pretty. She was a daughter of Homer
Rediath, of Chicago, a former resident of
this city, and came here Monday to marry
Garvin. The murderer is in jail.
Train Robbers' Haul.
A single highwaymen robbed the express
car ou the Missouri Pacific train leaving
Kansas City on Wednesday evening. The
robber boarded the train at a suburban
station aud by holding a revolver at the head
of the messenger bound and gagged him,
Then taking the keys from Lis pocket the
bandit opened the safe and secured the
money and valuables, amounting to about
S-'mjOO. He alighted at a station and made
his escape without the robbery being detect
ed until several stations had been passed.
Sam Small Shot.
VisiESses, Ixd., Sept, 11. Rer. Sam
Small, the noted temperance evanglist, who
has been in this neighborhood for several
days expounding prohibition, was shot in
the thigh last night at HazIton, 13 miles
south of this city.
A crowd of toughs from White river
bottoms, who did not like Small's doctrine,
rushed in and broke up the meeting which
Small had been invited to address. Rev.
Smah went to his hotel and was about to
retire when some scoundrel fired a revolver
through the window, hitting Small in the
thigh, producing a serious wound. An
attempt is being maJe to arrest the perpetra
tor. A Report Like Peek's.
Commissioner PecVs report on the iu
crease of wages in New York since the pass
age of the McKinley bill is duplicated by the
reportjust issued by Chief Peele, of the In
diana Bureau of Statistics, who has held
that position almost continuously for fifteen
years and is a Democrat of Democrats.
The report says that in Indianapolis,
Evansville and Terre Haute the average
earnings of wageworkers during the past
year have been Larger than previously to I
materia! extent The most important feat
ureof tue report which ii the result of de
tail d inquiries is that it is based eutirely
ujion the testimony of wage-earners, and
consequently, it cannot be claimed that
Chief Peele is presenting only the maaufact-
urer's side of the question.
