EDITORIAL REMARKS,
TaE smoke nuisance in Pittsburg will
be stopped, if the Democrats get full con-
| trol of the country, because free trade
will close all the factories.
THz criminal suit brought by the Dem-
ocrats against Labor Commissioner Peck;
of New York, was dismissed on Monday
by the Court. The connsel for the pros-
ecution did not appear and it was evident
the Democrats had come to the conclusion
that it would be folly to foul with Peck for
proving that wages have been increased
under the McKinley Bill.—Somerser
Standard.
Tae Democrats are raising a great howl
about the money that is being contributed
by the great manufacturers to the Repub-
lican campaign fund. They forget, how-
ever, to mention the big sums that are be:
ing contributed to their own canipalgn
tund by the wenlthy importers of foreign
goods. American goods ure good enough
for us. In fact they are the. best:

Voters.
fore another week rolls around yon
| 80 to the different polling places of
untry to cast your votes for some
hom you want to see elected Presi-
den tof this, the greatest, the grandest
and the most powerful nation on earth.
Of course, every intelligent voter in
the land knows that either Benjamin
Hartlson or Grover Cleveland will be
elected to fill this high office for the next
four § years. Vote with whichever party
#hoose, you will in 8 measure help
t one of these two men. For ex-
pik, if yon heretofore have been a Re-
iliean, and this year vote the Prohibi-
tion ficket, you will be taking a vote from
Harrison and thereby help Cleveland's
changes, knowing as you do that there is
no s show whatever to elect a Prohibition
President.
Hi Is therefore a plain case that the
struggle for supremacy will, as usual, be
betwéen the Republican and the Demo-
eratie:parties, and the question now ar-
rises, : Which do you prefer—Harrison and
« the Tusaghteal Consideration of
Belo
3 protection, or Cleveland and free trade?
| As for our opinion, we believe firmly that
Harrison and protection will be victorious,
and we liclieve that we can give good rea-
80NA why every intelligent and patriotic
citizen of the United Biates should vote
| that ticket.
Te begin with, the Republican party
has #& grand record—a record it is never
ashamed of, but always points to with
pride. It isthe party of Abraham Lin-
‘goln; it is the party that freed over four
millions af slaves; it is the party that
gave us a sound currency; it is thesparty,
in fact. that gave us neaily every bless-
a: ing of modern civilization that we now
enjoy.
y Now. we do not like to refer to the
past record of the Democratic party, for
Revergl reasuns. One reason is because
aver since Bhichanan’ s time it has had a
yory bad vegord, and another reason is

our Northern Democrats. of sours
in the main, good. patriotic citizens
and are no doubt ashamed of the past
record of theirparty. Many of them were
brave Cuion soldiers and fought to wipe
out the curse of slavery. But why any
intelligent Northern man should continue
to belong to a party that has for its hack-
{bone the ignorant and illiterate South,
4 Inreely made up of ex-rebels and ex-slave-
‘drivers, is past finding out. Northern
Democrats, especinlly you who were in
the Union army, why not vote the wav
you shot? Why should any old soldier
vote for Cleveland? When the war broke
out Mr. Cleveland was a bachelor and
had nothing to keep him from going to
war in defense of his country: he had ne
family ties to sever. no loving wife and
children to leave behind. But did he go
to war? No; he hired a substitute and
afterwards allowed him to die in a poor
hotise. And what did Mr. Cleveland do
when he filed the Presidential chair?
He vetoed more pension bills than all the
other Presidents combined. He also
wanted the Rebel flags captured in the
war. returned.
was President he went fishing on Decora-
tion:day, while a grateful nation was dec-
orating the graves and honoring the
memory of our departed heroes. Think
of it—the President uf the United States,
who shonld have been foremost in observ-
ing Decoration day, along the banks of a
stream, fishing. on that day!. The blush
of shame should come to his enormous
cheeks, and mo
vote for such a coarse, ungrateful, ill-
mannered man. But how about General
Harrison? Well, he has never vetoed
ove pension bill; he never went fishing
on Decoration day, and if you go back to
when the war broke out, you will find
that he buckled on his armor and went
into the great struggle. He kissd higlov
ing wife and family goodbve and re-
sponded to his country’s need. He was
a brave and daring soldier, and there is
nothing in his whole history that is un-
manly or unpatriotic. Old soldiers,
which of these two men. has the better
record? Which will you vote for, brave
soldier Ben, or Grover the pension bill
vetoer and substitute hirer? Perhaps
vou are getting a pension. If 80, you be:
lieve that you are entitled to it, do you
not? But would you be getting that pen-
sion if it wasn’t for Republican legislation?
No, you wouldn’t and yon know it. The
Democrats in Congress are the men who
always have voted against every bill that
was ever brought up for the benefit of
the old Union veterans. Most of the
Democrats in Congress are from the South,
and the Northern Democrats who would
[| be willing to help the old soldiers are
handicapped by the Southern wing of
| their party; hence all legislation for the
| benefit of the soldier naturally had to
| tome through the Republican party.
This being the case, and it can at be
efit of protection.”
Furthermore, while he:
Union soldier should:
F pork,
disputed, we again ask, why shonld any
old soldier vote the Democratic ticket?
Now let us turn to the present plat-
forms of the two parties. Among other
things the Republican party advocates a
protective policy, reciprocity and sound
currency, which means protection’ to
American labor, increased home and for-
eign markets, good wages for our work-
men, good prices for our producers and
prosperous times for the people in gener-
1. ' But some one will say, ‘‘protection
makes too many millionaires and svndi-
cates.” Let us see whether it does.
When we had free trade, what was the
result? The result was that it made syn-
dicates and millionaires by the score. but
in England instead of the United States.
Those millionaires built scores of large
factories in England and employed thou-
sands of English workmen to manufac:
ture goods for Americans. We had to
depend on England for our merchandise,
and her millionaires knowing this,
charged us much more for goods of all
kinds than we are paving now. We all
know this. But the Republican party
put a high protective tariff on foreign
goods. and what was the result? Manu-
facturing plants sprung up on this side
of the water a8 if bv magic, and today
we are the greatest manufacturing nation
on earth. American workmen now man-
ufacture onr own goods and home com-
petition has made merchandise of nearly
all kinds much eheaper than it ever was
before. Who, then, wants to go back to
the “good old Democratic free trade
days.” when agriculture was the only thing
for our people to be engaged in and labor
ers could be hired for from 25 to 50 cents
a day, payable in farm produce or the
worthless “red dog” or ‘wild cat” Demo-
cratic money of those days? "Tis true
that protection makes millionaires and
syhdicates, but we need them and must
Tiave- them in order to be a prosperous
people. What would the town of Me:
Keesport. Pa., be today if it wasn’t for
the syndicate that built the Nations
Tube Works. which gives enplovmeat to]
7.000 men? Would the town heve risen
from an phscure village to a clev of 30,000
inhabitants, in a few years? Hardly, fel
low citizens; havdlv. If there were no
millionaires and great syndicates in this
conntry, who would build our large fac-
tories, and machine shops? And if we
“fovies. which our rich men have ‘built by
the aid of protection, where wonld our
millions of laborers all find employment?
And what would enr farmers do fora
home market? But some will say. “the
‘Taborer does not get his share of the ben-
Doubtless in many
cases he does npt; but how would free
trade benefit his ‘condition or even make
it half as good? Calamity howls are
cheap, but all the same there never was a
time in American history when the labor:
ing classes of the United States were bet-
ter paid than now and when a poor man
could enjov as many luxuries and dress
himeelf and family as well as at the pres:
ent time. These are facts that ean not
be set aside and which statistics will hear
us ont on. The McKinley bill did not
raise the price of the poor man’s dinner
pail, as we were told it would do, but it
established tin plate factaries in this
country that are giving work to thou-
sands of American workmen, and if this
tin industry is not wiped out by return-
ing the Democratic: party to power, it
will not be long until the poor man ean
buy a dinner pail for half the present
price of one.
And what is this Republican reciproci-
tv? For example. it is this: We can
raise no coffee, neithér can we produce
as ‘much sugar as we need. We therefore
say to Brazil: ‘We will admit your cof-
fee and sugar to our ports, free of tariff.
if you will reciprocate by admitting our
manufactured goods, implements, flour,
beef, etc., to your ports, free of
tariff.”. This is a benefit to the consum-
ers of coffee and sugar in this country,
and it is a fair sample of reciprocity.
But at the same time, in order to not
damage our own sugar industry, the gov-
ernment pays all our sugar producers a
bounty sufficient to make up for compe-
tition of foreign producers. *‘Reciproci-
ty, then, is about the same as free frade,”
some one may remark Oh no, for it on-
ly admits such things free of tariff that
we can not produce in sufficient quanti-
ties ourselves. We do not say to Eng:
land: “We will admit your steel rails,
cutlery, clothing, etc., to our ports, free
of tariff, on condition that you will re-
ciprocate the favor.” Therefore. reci-
procity is not free trade, for we do not
propose to let England supply our mark-
ets with such things as we can manufac:
‘ture ourselves. y
But the Democratic party. says in its
platform that Republican protection is a
fraud. | In the same platform it also fa-
vors a return to the old State banking
system, which means a return of the
worthless currency known as ‘red dog”
and ‘‘wild eat” money. In short. the
Democratic party wants to get back into.
power on dead issues and by ridiculing
everything that is truly Awerican and
that has made this nation the greatest,

‘handspike, and said:
the grandest, the richest and the most
powerful on earth. But who wanis ro
return to the old mosshack free trade sys-
tem and the days of *‘red dog” and “wild
cat” money? We do not believe such at
doctrine can win in this enlightened age.
Neither do we believe that the Democrat-
ic sneer at American tin will’ gain them
any votes. It is no crime for us to make
our own tin plate; it is an achievement
that all patriotic citizens should feel proud
of. Why is it, anyway, that the Demo:
cratic party always hoots at evervthing
that is American? And why should any
patriotic citizen vote that ticket?
And why should any patriotic citizen
vote the People’s party ticket? Who is
it headed by and where and for what pur-
nose was it brought into existence? The.
People’s party was conceived i inthe brain
of wary Soutliern ex-Rebels, who saw in
it a chance to overthrow the Republican
party. ‘Spenkers were accordingly sent
North to arouse the unsuspecting North-
ern farmers, to get them lo organize
farmers’ alliances. At first it was to he
no political organization, but 4s soon as
enough ex-Rebels, Democrats and Re:
publican soreheads and outcasts could
be smuggled into ‘it. the People’s party
grew out of it, whicli is today the most cor-
rupt and senseless political organization
that'ever sprung into existence. It is to-
day headed by Calamity Weaver. of Iowa,
and a man named Field, who was a Rebh-
el officer. Suppose Weaver and Field
should be elected and Weaver should die
in office. In such an event Field, an ex-
Rebel, would fill the presidency, the high-
est office in the gift of the people.
Would any of us want. to see such a state
of affairs? We think not. It is not like-
ly that many Northern voters will be
hoodwinked into voting that ticket, for
the Southerners who claim to belong to
the new party have already proven that
they are not acting in good faith. and we
believe that there are not-many Northern
men who are going tobe led into a trap.
The late Georgia election should be an
eye-opener to Northern people “who he-
long to the People’s party. Notwith-
standing the good treatment, shown Field
when he lectured in the North, and the
pretended good faith’ of the Southern
wing of the People’s party, the late
Georgia election resulted in a greater
Democratic victory than ever, which
shows that fhe Southerners voted as’ they
always voied before—Demoeratic. Fur-
thermore when Mr. Weaver, the ex-Un-
fon soldier “went South to propeund
People’s party doctrine, he and his wife
were rotten egged, and the only name
that they heard cheered was that of Gro-
Farthermore, we are per-
sonally acquainted with some of the lead-
ing men of the People’s party, having
lived several years in one of their banner
states, and we know from our own per:
sonal knowledge. that they are among
the mdst corrupt men in the United'States.
Therefore, it is just as hard for ns to see
why any intelligent voter should vote the
People’s ticket us to vote tha Democratic
ticket.
Another tring we can not understand
is why any Irishman should vote the
Democratic ticket. England has always
been Ireland’s oppressor, and it being a
well-known fact that England is today
more interested in Cleveland’s election
than the Democratic party itself is, we
can not understand why any of our Irish
citizens should vote the Demociatic ticket
and thereby aid their former oppressors.
These things are all significant and
worth thinking about, and we believe ev-
ery intelligent voter who thoughtfully
and honestly considers these things, Iay-
ing all prejudice aside, will vote the Re-
publican ticket this fall, the straight Re-
publican ticket amd nothing but the Re:
publican ticket. Our ticket is a goad
one from top to bottom, far the best in
the field. The Republican party is the
party of Lincoln, Grant, Garfield aad
Blaine. Fhe Democratic party: is the
party of secession. of Jeff Davis, Boss
Tweed, ‘King Veto” and corrupt Tam-
muny Hall. The People’s party is the
party of the most corrupt politicians out-
casts that ever disgraced the ranks of the
two old parties, and all it is fit for or cal-
culated for isn Democratic aid society.
The other little parties cut no figure, and
we will let the helpless rest. Let every
voter turn out next Tuesday, and may
the Republican vote be the largest ever
polled. The business interests of the
whole country demand a continuance of >
the Harrison administration. 2
It is said, but we will not vouch for the
trath of it, that one of our local minis:
ters was recently s0 ‘much surprised at
seeing a certain man in church, that he
walked back to where he was sitting,
shook hands with the man and said: 1
am glad to see you here in the house of
God; come often, please, and later onl
feel sure that youn will renounce sin and
satan and come over to the Lord's side.”
“The sinner is said to have hesitated a
moment, then lifted np his voice with «
“Impossible, dear

ocrat to ever become: mixed up to any
g great extent with the Tighteous.” I
