It was talking last week out at Home-' stead through Pinkerton bullets, but the comrades of the men who dropped dead will talk back in November with Democratic ballots. IF 1000 copies of "Pat" Iteid'S paper, the New york Tribune t were properly distributed at present it would mean 10,000 votes for Cleveland. Reid's views and position upon the elections now taking place in Great llritain mark him an enemy of republican forms of government and an advocate of British oppression. Understand! If the Republican party does not force Carnegia, the great tarilf beneficiary, to a settlement with his locked out em ployes, the Democrats will have little use for speakers or campaign documents in and around Pittsburg. C'arnegia, with his reductions and tyrannical rules, has awakened thousands of his slaves to the apparent fact that the tariff does not protect American labor. Poon old Benjamin must have an awful time under his grandfather's hat these summer nights. For a whole week he couldn't get anyone to run his campaign. Nobody would accept the chairmanship of the national committee and it went begging from one to another. Republican leaders are not anxious to take the responsibility of tire Waterloo the "Ifat and Rat" will meet in Novem ber. WHEN the Democrats made the great mistake of endorsing Horace (freely, the independent Republican presiden tial candidate in 1872, Whitelaw Reid was severe in his denunciation of Gen eral Grant, and column after column of the most hitter vituperation and falsehood flowed from his pen concern ing the idolized soldier. The friends of Grant yet number hundreds of thousands, and on election day they will remember Whitelaw Reid, the abject slave of British snohocracy and supporter of Tory rule. The quarterly report of the bureau of statistics of the treasury department for the three months ending March 31, 1892, shows that the total number of persons arriving in the United States from foreign countries, other than Can ada and Mexico, witldn the period specified was 90,811, as against 87,572 for the same period of last year. An analysis of the chief resources of immi gration shows that 17,094 of the arri vals were from Austria Hungary; 18,- 714 from Germany; 4780 from Sweden; 31,272 from Italy; 14,983 from Russia, exclusive of Poland. The arrivals from the United Kingdom numbered 12,549, England herself contributing 7041. Itecord. REPUBLICANS who are counting upon carrying New York through Tammany's indifference and apathy should ponder over the fact that Tammany's future existence and power depends upon how the organization carries out its promises this year. Its leaders are well aware that Cleveland can he elected even without New York's vote, and to play traitor to the ticket when it could not benefit them would be political sui cide for the society. Here is what Grand Sachem Croker said on Friday in his address to the executive com mittee: "Cleveland is going to carry the country, and it won't do for us to lose this state. We have got to win. I am convinced that Cleveland is stronger with the people than Hill would have been. I am convinced | that Cleveland can carry the state by j a larger majority tban any presidential candidate in a generation. I want the district leaders to talk to the district I captains anil the men upon whom you can depend. I'rge them to work hard er this year than they have ever done. If there is any grumbling against \ Cleveland stop it. Ileal up any little disaffection that may exist in your dis trict and all pull together. We shall and will give the state of New York to Mr. Cleveland." OUR western exchanges of both parties continue their cry for free silver and several of them are supporting the People's candidates, because that party has declared for free coinage. The many friends of Editor Fincher, former ly of llazleton and now directing the course of the Breckenridge (Col.) Journal , will be sorry to bear that he is wavering in his allegiance to the Demo cratic faith. The free silver advocates may be right, but none of the arguments they use is producing any perceptible effect upon the people of the East. The question here is regarded only a mere side issue, overshadowed on all sides by the tariff controversy, and the latter must be definetely settled before free silver or any other subject is given national attention. WHAT can people think of a man like Carnciga, who is benefitted more by protection than any other person in the United States? He reduces his employes' wages over 30 per cent., and when a compromise was asked locked them out and hired Pinkerton's army of murderers, presumably to guard the works hut really to taunt the men to violence. Then he takes a trip to Scot land, where he endows art galleries, lib raries, museums, etc., with his stolen money, and on the day his men were being shot down spent over SIOO,OOO for a hunting ground near Aberdeen. He is a typical specimen of the result of Republican policy and Republican rule, fostered and fattened by our "protection." Future generations will think America was a nation of insane idiots if this continues. THE suggestion made to the Demo cratic national committee to open a branch at Chicago or to remove the headquarters to some western city is a very good one. The eastern Democratic states, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, do not require any special attention this year. They are already given up by the Republicans, and even if they were not the united Democracy of New York is well able to direct the campaign in these states. By centering their forces at Chicago the northwestern tier of states, and Indiana and Illinois, would he right under the eyes of the national managers, and a sharp and vigorous expounding of Democratic principles will swing every one of them into our column. It is not only neces sary to elect Cleveland and Steveson, but that victory must be made so com plete and overwhelming that the party of protection will never recover from its effects. Cool Work or a liurglar. Talk aßout cool headed burglars. One of the gentry who visited the residence of Mr. William Hanniu outrivals the daring audacity of Jim Barlow or Claude | Duval. He entered the house while the iu- j mates were Boundf asleep, and with the | aid of a match piticeeded to investigate. It appears that he would hold a lighted match until it burned his fingers, and j then throwing the still burning remains on the floor light another. On returning to a room he had quitted a few moments before he saw that the place was on fire. He run from the house, and meeting a police officer cool ly informed him that "a house back there" was 011 fire. Ho hurried to the place with the officer. The tire was now burning brightly. In his haste the officer j failed to notice that though the rear ; door was open none of the family was to be seen. They secured pails, the I burglar doing the pumping act, but the | apparatus failed to respond. A large boiler of water, intended for the next day's washing, stood convenient, and be- j tween them they carried the boiler of ' water into the house, where the flames 1 were soon extinguished. It was when the officer looked around for his gentle manly associate that he discovered that ! he was alone. The family was aroused, I and then it was found that the house had been ransacked, but little of any value taken.—Toledo Bee. Ancient lluliyloiiiuii Records. Probably the oldest known specimens of recorded language in the world today are the inscriptions 011 tlio door sockets and brick stumps found at Niffef by the Babylonian Exploration expedition of the University of Pennsylvania, which has recently returned. The brick stamps, which are of yellow clay, about four by five inches, and an inch in thickness, bear the name and titles of King Sargon and his son Narim Sin, who lived about 3800 B. C., and they were taken from the mound which covers the sight of ancient Nippurn, with its famous tem ple of Boat The expedition also found many other objects of interest, such as clay tablets containing contracts, lists of goods, temple incomes, art fragments and images sold by the temple fakirs. , These throw much light on the history | of the people, as opposed to that of the kings, and the work of the expedition Baby lonian records hack a thou sand years to a time of which practical ly nothing has hitherto been known. The antiquities found are now in the uni 1 versity museum. - Philadelphia Ledger. PLATFORM OF PRINCIPLES." Adopted by the Democratic National Convention June '4'4, IHD2. Sec. I. The representatives of the Democratic party of the United States in national conven tion assembled do reaffirm their allegiance to the principles of the party as formulated by Jefferson and exemplified by the long and Illustrious lino of his successors in Democratic leadership from Madison to Cleveland. We believe the public welfare demands that these priuciplea be applied to the conduct of the fed eral government through accession to power of the party that advocates them; and wo sol emnly declare that the need of a return to these fundamental principles of free popular government, based on home rulo and individ ual liberty, was never more urgent than now, when the to centralize all power at the federal capital has become a menace to the reserved rights of the states that strikes at the very roots of our government and under the constitution as framed by tne fathers of the republic. Sec. 2. We waru the people of our common country Jealous for the preservation of their free Institutions that the policy of the federal control of elections, to which the Republican party has committed itself, is fraught with the gravest dangers, scarcely less momentous than would result from a revolution practically es tablishing monarchy on the ruins of the re public. It strikes at the north as well AS at the south, and Injures the colored citizen even more than the white; it means a horde of depu ty marshals at every polling place, armed with federal power, returning boards apixdnted and controlled by federal authority, tho outrage of the electoral rights of the people In the several states, the subjugation of ihe colored people to the control of tho party in power, and the re viving of race antagonisms now happily nbat ed of the utmost peril to the safety and hap piness of all; a measure deliberately and Justly described by ft leuding Republican senator as "tho most infamous bill that ever crossed the threshold of the senate." Such a policy, if Banotioncd by law, would mean the domiuanco of a self perpetuating oli garchy of officeholders, and the party first in trusted with its machinery could be dislodged from power only by an appeal to the reserved right of the people to resist oppression which is inherent in all self governing communities. Two years ago this revolutionary policy was emphatically condemned by the people at the polls, but In contoinpt of that verdict the Re publican party has defiantly declared in its latest authnritntivo utterance that Its success in tho coming elections will mean tho enact ment of the force bill and the usurpation of despotic control over elections in all the states. Believing that the preservation of Kopublican government in the United States is dependent upon the defeat of this policy of legalized force and fraud, we invite the assistance of all citi zens who desire to see the constitution main tained in its integrity with the laws pursuant thereto which have given our country u hun dred years of unoxuiupled prosperity; and we pledge the Democratic party, if it be intrusted with power, not only to the defeat of the force hill, but also to relentless opposition to the Re publican policy of profligate oxpenditure,whlch in the short space of two years has squandered an enormous surplus and emptied an overflow ing treasury, after piling new burdens of taxa tion upon the already overtaxed labor of the country. Sec. 3. We denounce the McKinley tariff law enacted by the Fifty-first congress us the culminating atrocity of class legisla tion; we indorse the efforts made by the Dem ocrats of the present congress to modify its most oppressive features in the direction of free raw material and cheaper manufactured goods that enter into home consumption, and we promise its repeal as one of the beneficent results that will follow the action of the people In intrusting power to the Democratic party. Since the McKinley tariff went into operation there have been ten reductions of wages of la boring men to one increase. Wo deny that there has been any increase of prosperity to the country since that tariff went into opera tion, and we point to the dullness and distress, the wage reductions and strikes in the iron trade as the host possible, evidence that no such prosperity lias resulted from the McKin ley act. We call the attention of thoughtful Ameri cans to the fact thut after thirty years of re strictive taxation aguinst importations of foreign products in exchange for our agricul tural surplus, the homes and farms of the country have become burdened with a real estate mortgage debt of over two thousand five hundred million dollars, exclusive of all other forms of Indebtedness; that in one of the chief agricultural states of the west there appears a real estate mortgage debt averaging SIUS per capita, and that similar conditions are shown to exist in other agricultural exerting states. We denounce a policy which fosters no indus try so much as it does that of the sheriff. We denounce Republican protection as a fraud; a robbery of the great majority of the American people for the benefit of the few. We declare it to bo a fundamental principle of the Demo cratic party that the federal government lias no constitutional power to enforce and collect tariff duties except for the purpose of revenue only, and demand that the collection of such taxes shall he limited to the necessities of the government and honestly and economically administered. Sec. 4. Trade interchange ou the basis of re ciprocal advantage to the countries partici pating is a time honored doctrine of the Dem ocratic faith, but we denounce the sham reci procity which juggles with the people's desire for enlarged foreign markets and freer ex changes by pretending to establish trade rela tions for a country whose articles of export are almost exclusively agricultural, while orecting a custom house barrier of prohibitive tariff taxes aguinst the richest countries of the world that stand ready to tako our entire surplus of products and to exchange therefor commodities which are necessary aud are comforts of life among our own people. Sec. 6. We recognize in trusts and monopo lies which are designed by capital to secure more than their Just share of the Joint prod uct of capital and lalstr a natural consequence of prohibitive taxes, which prevent the free competition which is the life of honest trade, hut we believe their worst evils can be abated by law, and wo demand the rigid enforcement of laws made to prevent and control tliem, to gether with such further legislation in re straint of their nhuses as experience may show to be necessary. Sec. 6. The Republican party, while profess ing a policy of reserving the public lauds for small holdings by actual settlers, has given away the people's heritage, until now a few railroads, nonresident uliens--individual and corporate—possess a larger area than that of all our farms between the two sous. The last Democratic administration reversed the im provident and unwise policy of the Republican party touching the public domain, and re claimed from corporations and syndicates alien and domestic and restored to tbe people nearly lOU.OUO.tOO acres of valuable land to be sacredly held as homesteads for our citizens, and we pledge ourselves to continue this policy until every acre of land so unlawfully held shall be reclaimed and restored to the people. Sec. 7. We denounce the Republican legisla tion known as the Sherman act of 1800 as a cowardly makeshift, fraught with possibilities of danger in the future which should make all of its supporters, as well us its author, anxious for its speedy A>peal. We hold to the use of both gold and silver as the standard money of the country, and to the coinage of t>oth gold and silver without discrimination against cither metal or charge for mintage; but the ilollar unit of coinage of both metals must be of equal intrinsic and exchangeable value or l>e adjusted by international agreement or by such safeguards of legislation as shnll insure the maintenance of the parity of the two met als and the equal power of any dollar at all times in the market and in the puymentof debts; and we demand that ail paper currency shall be kept at par with and redeemable in such coin. We Insist upon this policy as es pecially necessary for the protection of the farmers and laboring classes, the first and most defenseless victims of unstable money and a fluctuating currency. See. 8. We recommend that the prohibitive 1 lu per cent, tax on hunk issues lie repealed. 1 Sec. 9. Public ofllce la a public trust. We re uftirm the declaration of the Democratic na tional convention of 1876 for the reform of the civil service, and we call for the honest en , forticment of all lawa regarding same. The <*> initiation pf a president, as In the last lie publican convention, by'delegates consisting largely of his appointees holding office at Ids pleasure, is a scandalous satire upon free pofu- | lar institutions and a startling illustration of , the methods by which a president may gratify ' his ambition. We denouuee a policy under which federal officeholder* usurp control of party conventions in the states, and we pledge the Democratic party to the reform of these and all other abuses which threaten individual liberty and local self government. Sec. 10. The Democratic party is the only party that has ever giveu the country a foreign policy, consistent and vigorous, compelling re* spect abroad and inspiring confidence at home. While avoiding entangling ulliances, it has aimed tocultivate friendly relations with other nations and especially with our neighbors on the American continent, whose destiny is close ly linked with our own, and we view with alarm the tendeucy to a policy of irritatiou and bluster which Is liable at any time to eon front us with the alternative of humiliation or war. We favor the maintenance of a navy strong enough for ull purposes of national de fense and to proi>erly maintain the honor and dignity of the couutry abroad. Sec. 11. This country has always been the refuge of the oppressed from every land—exiles for conscience sake—and in this spirit of the founders of our government wo condemn the oppression practiced by the Russian govern ment upon its Lutheran and Jewish subjects, and we call upon our national government, in the interest of justice and humanity, by all Just and proper means, to use its prompt and best efforts to bring about a cessation of these oruel persecutions in the dominions of the czar and to secure to the oppressed equal rights. We temler our profound aud earuest sympa thy to those lovers of freedom who are strug gling for home rule and the great cause of self government in Ireland. Sec. 12. We heartily approve all legitimate efforts to prevent the United States from being used as the dumping ground of the criminals aud professional paupers of Europe, and we demand the rigid enforcement of the laws against Chinese emigration aud the importa tion of foreign workmen under contract to de grade our labor and lessen its wages, but we condemn and denounce ail attempts to restrict the immigration of the industrious aud worthy of foreign lands. Sec. 13. This convention hereby renews the expression of appreciation of the patriotism of the soldiers and sailors of the Union in the war for its preservation, and we favor Just and lib eral pensions for all disabled Union soldiers, their widows and dependents, but we demand that the work of the penslou office shall bo done industriously. Impartially and honestly. We denounce the present administration of that office as Incompetent, corrupt, disgrace ful and dishonest. Sec. 14. The federal government should care for and improve the Mississippi river and other great waterways of the republic, so as to se cure for the interior states easy and cheap transportation to the tidewater. When any waterway of the republic is of sufficient im portance to demand the aid of the government, that such aid should he extended on a definite plan of continuous work until permanent im provement is secured. Sec. 15. For purposes of national defenso and the promotion of commerce between the states we recognise the early construction of the Nicaragua canal and its protection against for eign control us of great importance to the United States. Sec. 10. Recognizing the World's Culumblau exposition as a national undertaking of vust importance, in which the general government has Invited the co-operation of the nations of the world, and appreciating the acceptance by many such powers of the invitation so extend ed ami the broad and libcrul efforts l>eiug made by them to contribute to the grandeur of tlie undertaking, we are of the opinion that con gress should make such necessary financial pro vision as shall be requisite to the maintenance of national honor and public faith. Sec. 17. Popular education being the only safe basis of popular suffruge, we reoomuicnd to the several states most libcrul appropriations for the public schools. Free common schools are the nursery of good government, gnd they have always recoived the fostering cure of the Democratic party, which favors every means of increasing intelligence. Freedom of educa tion being an essential of civil and religious liberty, as well us a necessity for the develop ment of intelligence, must not be interfered with under any pretext whatever. We are op posed to state interference with parental rights and rights of conscience in the education of children as an infringement of the fundament al Democratic doctrine that the largest indi vidual liberty consistent with the rights of oth ers insures the highest type of American citi zenship and the best government. Sec. 18. Wo approve the action of the present houso of representatives in passing bills for the admission Into the Union ns states of the territories of New Mexico ami Arizona, and wo favor the early udmissiou of all the ter ritories having the necessary population and resources to entitle thorn to statehood, and while they remain territories we hold that the officers appointed to administer the govern ment of any territory, together with the Dis trict of Columbia and Alaska, shall he bona fide residents of the territory or district in which their duties are to be. performed. The Democratic party believes in home rule and the control of their own affairs by the people of the vicinage. Sec. 10. Wu favor legislation by congress aud state legislatures to protect the lives aud limbs of railway employees and those of other hazard ous transportation companies, and denounce the inactivity of the Republican party, aud particularly the Republican senate, for caus ing the defeat of measures beneficial and pro tective to this class of wage workers. Sec. 20. We are in favor of the enactment hy the states of laws for abolishing the notorious sweating system, for abolishing contract con vict labor aud for prohibiting the employment in factories of children under fifteen years of ftge. Sec. 21. We are opposed to all sumptuary laws aH an interference with the individual rights of the citizen. Sec. 22. Upon this statement of principles and policy the Democratic party asks the intelli gent Judgment of the American people. It asks a change of administration ami a change of party in order that there may be a change of system and a change of methods, thus assuring the maintenance unimpaired of institutions under which the republic bus grown great and powerful* An Honest Candidate. The Chicago convention rises equal to its opportunity and gives the Democratic party that noblest work of God—an hon est man—for a standard bearer in the stupendous tdruggle for supremacy which will make the year memorable in j political annals.
