Much is being said about the new bal lot law calculated to convey the impres sion that it is a very complicated affair, difficult to understand, and likely to prove very embarrassing to the voter. Such things as this will naturally be ex pected from those who desire to bring the new system into disropute for the purpose of getting the old one restored; but no one who impartially views the law can have any reason for appprehen sion on acconnt of it. The feature which most generally con cerns the public is that which provides for the preparation and casting of the ballot. It is the only one which affects tlie action of any but certain officials and election officers. It is a perfectly simple and straightforward provision, and easily understood by anyone fit to exercise the franchise. The voter receives from the election officers an official ballot, upon which are printed, under the proper party designations, the names of all can didates of all parties which have been properly certified. This ballot he takes into a compartment in the polling place and marks it so as to indicate for whom he desires to vote for the several offices. The ballot is then returned to be de posited in the box. That ends the duty of the citizen, and there is nothing com plicated about it. Bnt it is said there will be confusion in marking the ballot. There need not be. One of two ways of marking is pro vided in the law. The citizen who wants to vote for all the candidates of one party has only to put an X in the space for that purpose opposite the party name Republican or Democrat, as his choice may be. If, however, he wants to split bis ticket, voting for some of the candidates of one party and some of the other, it will be necessary for him to put an X opposite the name of each candi date for whom he desires to vote. This is not difficult. He has only to read down the list of candidates, marking those he prefers and not bothering at all with any others. Only the names of the candidates so marked will be count ed. No names must be erased. If there is any chance for the voter to become confused it grows out of the fact that he is permitted a choice of one of two ways of murkinga ballot. Provision for a single method would doubtless have been better; and a single method would have made it necessary for him to mark individually the name of each candidate of his choice. Under such a system he would know exactly what he was doing, and his vote for each candidate would amount to a separate and deliberate act which can not always be said in the case of a ballot marked only at the party name. This is one of the features of the law that will probably require amendment sooner or later, as a change would still further simplify the voting. The law ought to be given every chance for a fair trial at the coming election, and attempts to alarm the voter with the idea that it is an intricate affair deserve to be deprecated. It is not intricate, and its enactment was a long step in the direction of an excellent reform. It may not be perfect, and ex perience will undoubtedly suggest some needed changes; but the principles which it embodies will be the leading feature of our election system in the future, as they will be in nearly every other state. This is not a good time to attempt to discredit the law.— Press. The Fight Will he Made. The attempt of certain Democratic politicians to throw cold water upon the Western campaign is answered in the following from the New York I Vorld. The anti-Republican states of the West are not to be given up to Harrison without a struggle, and a hard one, too. Real and bogus Democrats who would abandon effort in these hopeful fields and stake all upon the ever-doubtful state of New York may as well under stand this. There is to be a Western campaign, a \\ estern headquarters, a large Western campaign fund and a determined effort to hold some of these states in the Democratic column. Neither envy, treachery nor timidity can prevent this. The objectors conveniently forget that there have been elections at the West since 1888. lowa has twice elected a Democratic governor, and has reversed the standing of her delegation in congress on the tariff issue. Wisconsin has elected a Democratic governor by a plurality of 28,000 and changed her delegation in the house from two Democrats and seven Repub licans to eight Democrats and one Re publican—gaining also a senator. Minnesota gave at the last election an anti-Republican majority of over 04,000. Kansas and Nebraska went the same way with a rush in 1890. Without relaxing in the least effort in any of the old doubtfel states, a gallant fight is to be made to win something in the West for the Democracy. TRUSTS YS. LABOR. HOW LABOR IS CRUSHED THAT PRICES MAY BE ADVANCED. llcvaHtntlng Effects of the Cordage Trust shown In tho Ilecorri of I.ockonta anl Wag® Red notions Made In Order to In sure Profits to Owners of Idle Mills. The following from the speech of Sen ator Vest of July 26, and printed in The Congressional Record of July 27, is good evidence of the effects of trusts, com bines, etc., upon labor. In a previous speech the senator had printed the list of "100 tariff trusts" as prepared by Hon. John De Witt Warner for the New York World. As written there the main ob ject was to show that tariffs foster trusts and that trusts invariably advance prices or at least retard their natural decline. The object of the new matter introduced by Senator Vest is to show that trusts by keeping mills idle throw men out of em ployment and by increasing the number of competitors for each job of work tend to lower wages: "Cordage Trust (including binding twine, cables, rope, twine, etc.) —Tariff: Binding twine, .7 cent per pound; other twine, 2J£ cents per pound; hemp cables and cordage, 2% cents per pound; other cables and cordage, 1 cents. "The Cordage trust, which was formed in October, 1887, furnishes a good illus tration of the way in which trusts affect labor. As the trust gained control of more factories it not only was enabled to limit production and advance prices, but had power to dictate terms to its employees. It was not until 1890, when the trust was reorganized and when it secured control of eleven cordage fac tories in Canada, tfeat its J >(r fr r over pro duction and labor supreme. Aside from the maintaining of high prices, which of itself limits the use of cordage and therefore the demand for labor, the present condition of the mills owned and controlled by the trusts is sufficient evidence of the devastating ef fects upon production and labor of this trust, which has the following record of lockouts and wage reductions in order to insure sufficient profit at the mills, kept running to pay dividends to the owners of the rest thus hired to stay idle. On an average it takes about 100 em ployees to attend to 100 spindles; these, in the binder twine mills, aro mostly girls, and in cordage and twine mills mostly boys and men; Tucker & Tarter Cordage company, Brook lyn, 000 spindles. Not running full, but little of time; averages perhaps 800 spindles. L. Watorbury & Co., Brooklyn, 700 or 800 spindles. Running most of time. William Wall's Sons, Brooklyn, 400 or 500 spindles.

American Manufacturing (bagging) compa ny, New York, 200 spindles. Not running since Jan. 1. Miamisburg Cordage company, Ohio, 100 spindles. Recently acquired by National Cord age company and closed July 1. "Of the eleven concerns in Canada be longing to the National Cordage trust probably only about two-thirds are run ning at all regularly. There, as here, the tariff enables tho trust to keep up prices and make sufficient profits to pay big dividends on idle mills and to pur chase at exorbitant prices establishments that threaten to undersell the trust. The trust also controls by agreement the factories of W. L. Boone, Jr., Brooklyn, and Joseph L. Podd, Paterson, manu facturers of binding twine and cordage machinery, so that these companies, which control and hold valuable patents, cannot sell cordage machines to non members of the trust. This decreases the output of these machines and throws labor out of employment." But perhaps the worst evidence against this trust as to its treatment of labor is found in its deals with Mr. John Good, who has one of the largest and best equipped cordage mills in the country. This mill is situated at Ravenswood, L. 1., and when running employs 800 per sons. For some time previous to Nov. 2, 1891, the Cordage trust had been pay ing Mr. Good $150,000 per year to keep his mill idle. On Nov. 2, 1891, this amount was increased to $200,000, and the agreement was carried out until April 4, 1892, when Mr. Good returned the trust's check, because at the high j E rices at which cordage had been selling I o found that he could make more money by operating his will. FOR GOVERNOR OF MINNESOTA, Hon. D. W. Lanier, Whom th© Democrats HUT© Nominated. The Minnesota Democrats have nomi nated Hon. D. W. Lawler as their candi- Sate for governor, and, to use the ver nacular, the Republicans will have to "hustle" if they do not want to be badly "left." Mr. Lawler's career gives promise of great things in the future. He is the son of General John Lawler, ono of Wiscon sin's best known campaigners of a couple of decades ago. The Democratic guber- D. W. LAWLKR. notorial candidate was born in rrairio duChien, Wis., but thirty-two years ago. He was graduated from the Georgetown (D. C.) college in 1881 with high honor as an A. B. He has since received the degree of A. M. from his alma mater. Mr. Lawler entered the law depart ment of Yale university, won several de grees and most of the important prizes, and after graduating located, in 1880, in St. Paul, where he begun the practice of law. He has held no political office, with the exception of assistant United States district attorney for his district and corporation counsel of St. Paul. It is not improbable, however, that ho will be the next governor of Minnesota, An Astounding List. It takes ten columns of space in tho New York World to recapitulate all the strikes which have occurred in protected industries iu this country since the Mc Kinley law went into effect. The mag nitude of the list is astounding, even to those who have long been convinced that "protection" protects capital in its aggressions on labor. Sixteen days after the act went into effect 1,200 iron miners at Dayton, Teun., struck against a re duction of wages. That was the first, and it has been followed by no fewer than 478 strikes against reduction of Wages under the operation of the Mc- Kiuley tariif iniquity. As Tho World expresses it, there "has been no instant of time since the McKinley tariff act went into effect that there has not been in progress somewhere within the United States a strike against a pro posed reduction of wages in some pro tected industry."—St. Paul Globe. A Constantly Narrowing Margin. Tho impressiveness of Grover Cleve land's speech was principally iu the fact that he spoke truths that all have ex perienced, when he said that tho people are "burdened as consumers by a tariff system that relentlessly and unjustly demands from them in the purchase of the necessaries and comforts of lifo an amount scarcely met by wages of hard and daily toil." From every city and hamlet in tiro land the facts prove this truth, and no sweeping general state ment can convince the consumers of the country, who see the margin between wages and cost of living grow thinner and thinner, that they are being benefit ed by Republican protection.—Utica (N. Y.) Observer. Au Edifying Object L©HRon. In the proof of the enormous profit made by the Carnegie company in the production of steel ingots under the Mc- Kinley tariif may be seen the ground on which Mr. Swank congratulated the members of the Iron and Steel associa tion on the passage of "the most protec tive of all the tariff schedules." In it, too, will lie Been the basis of Mr. Carne gie's ability to exemplify the great American system of protection by pur chasing custles in Scotland, England and other countries, whose citizens ho desires to cheer with a sight of a tri umphant Democrat. Will Republican organs continue to defend the iron and steel schedule?— Chicago Times. Light Head, Heavy Tail. While that portion of the banner oc cupied by the name of Harrison some times exhibits itself to the gaze of the spectator, the tail of the streamer which supports the name of Reid hangs like a dead weight even in the briskest kind of ! a galo. At times it seems as if Harri- J son's nanio would rise to the emergency, as it were, but as often the name of Reid pulls back like a balky horse and drags down the proprietor of grandpa's hat to a perpendicular. The banner is very sug gestive, on the whole, of the Republican 1 feeling toward the presidential ticket.— Lansing (Mich.) Journal. "Tliey Know Tlielr Enemy." It is all very well to shout that the force bill is dead. It is all very well to cry aloud that tho Republican party is j now a party of love, having forgotten its old hatreds and wiped off the pages ; of its history the many former attempts ! to make tho federal bayonet control the southern ballot. Southern white men are not to bo deceived, however. They know their enemy, whether behind a domino or in the broad glare of elec tricity.—Nashville American. The Silent Vote for Cleveland. The quiet satisfaction with the course of events is visible everywhere. Men are not saying much. But wherever a Cleveland and Stevenson club is formed the membership is apt to be heavy. The silent vote is preparing to fall into lino for Cleveland and reform; at least the j indications and symptoms point that j Way. —Rome (N. Y.) Sentinel. TOM REED ANSWERED HIS RIDICULOUS CLAIMS PUNCTURED BY HOLMAN AND SAYERS. Huril, Cold Facts Showing That Rc©d's CongrrHH ( ninpolled Appropriations by th© Present Ono—Public Debt Reduc tion by Cleveland and Harrison. When the first session of the Fifty first congress ended The World predict ed a deficiency in the treasury. The sec retaries of the treasury under the pres ent administration have concealed the deficiency by counting among their available assets uncurrent funds, the bank note redemption fund and the gold reserve and by holding up appropria tions. This fact and its true meaning have been exposed and explained by The World from time to time, and now Representatives Sayers, Dockery and Holman, after an examination of the government's accounts for the past two years, verify The World's predictions by showing that there is a real deficiency of more than $100,000,000. Last year, because of the extrava gance of tho billion dollar congress, the secretary was unable to meet tho requirements of the sinking fund, and this year he will fail again to pay the amount required by law to be set aside toward tho satisfaction of the public debt. Messrs. Holman, Dockory nnd Sayers estimato that the deficiency will be $50,000,000 besides the sinking fund, if to this sum there be added the amount of the sinking fund due for the current fiscal year, $48,632,000, the $30,000,000 or more represented by uncurrent moneys and moneys owing to reserves and required for appropriations, the deficiency on June 80 next will really be much more than $130,000,000. The result has been accomplished by extravagance. During Mr. Harrison's administration $05,000,000 less of the government's bonds have been retired than were paid during Mr. Cleveland's administration. Besides this the actual lack of present funds compelled the ad ministration to extend $25,304,500 of the 4/4 P er cent, bonds, so that more than $90,000,000 must be added to the de ficiency, together with $84,000,000 repre senting the surplus in the treasury at the end of Cleveland's term, in order to reach a conclusion indicative of tho rela tive cost of Mr. Harrison's and Mr. Cleveland's administrations. In fact, the appropriations for tho four years of Mr. Harrison's administration liavo exceeded those for tho four years of Mr. Cleveland's term by $441,944,204. Ex-Spealter Reed excuses this profli gacy by asserting that the Democrats are as much responsible as the Repub licans. Mr. Sayers and Judge Ilolinan puncture this claim. The apparent ex cess of appropriations for the first ses sion of the Fifty-second congress over those for the first session of the Fifty first is |18,245,131.02. But of the sums appropriated by this congress there was made absolutely necessary by the legis lation of the Fifty-first congress the enormous amount of $79,527,002, and of these $00,052,84!) may be charged prop erly to Republican legislation. Among them are the ocean subsidy bounty, amounting to $390,290; cost of collecting sugar bounty, $230,890; the sugar bounty itself, $10,000,000, and pension increase, $48,000,000. The Republican party cannot escape responsibility for either the extrava gance of the billion dollar congress, the extravagance which it entailed upon succeeding congresses by its permanent legislation, or for the deficiency which it has created.—New York World. Importance of Achieving Victory. The importance of achieving victory Is so urgent and the disastrous conse quences of defeat are so manifest that no chances which may aid in winning the battle must be neglected. Tho de pressing effoct upon the country and the party which would inevitably follow a Democratic repulse in November was truthfully portrayed by Mr. Cleveland in his speech, and he emphasized the necessity for "systematic and intelligent effort on tho part of all who are enlisted In our cause." Vigorous fighting and brilliant campaigning alono will not win the election. That army fights most successfully whose forces are most com pactly organized and whose movements are directed by an intrepid, skillful and confident commander. Tho valiant sol diers of Democracy can safely trust the wisdom and tho courage of their leader In this campaign.—Chicago Herald. The Wornout Free Truile Howl. The Republican tendency in tariff leg islation has unmistakably been toward excessive protection. It is a tendency that the Democracy desires to check. It will be checked without proceeding townrd the opposite extreme. The issue is moderation against excess. The Re publican platform is embodied in the McKinley bill. Our opponents must successfully defend that measure or be j beaten. The false and outworn free trade howl has nothing to do with the case. Tariff reform is not free trade.— Rochester (N. Y.) Herald. An Ausplcioud Outlook. The outlook for the triumph of the Democratic candidates and Democratic principles is Indeed auspicious. In all Sections of the country nothing but good reports are heard, and in all sections Democrats are confident that Cleveland will be tho next president. The inde pendent vote of the country is rallying around our standard liearer to a greater extent even than was anticipated. In every city, village and hamlet acquisi tions to the Democratic cause are almost daily reported.—Syracuse (N. Y.) Cou rier. Alone Responsible. The Republican party is alone respon sible for all the evils of inisgovernment in the way of exorbitant taxation and oppressive and discriminating laws from which they as a class and the south as a section suffer.—Augusta (da.)
