"THE tariff is doing its own talking," I
says Wm. McKinley. Quite right! 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.

of recorded language in the world today

3800 B. C., and they were taken from

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. For the performance '
of this proud and patriotic duty we voice .

Character, Dignity and Strength.
Cleveland starts out with many mani
fest advantages. He represents char
acter. He represents dignity. He rep
resents strength. He represents more—
he represents principle. No man as a
candidate for the presidency has stood
more distinctly for principle than has
he. No man has been more fearless in
avowal of conviction or more steadfast
iu maintaining the views upon public
questions which he has promulgated.—
