H —— : a CLEVELAND'S letter of acceptance is a repetition of his famous message in 1887, t; wiicn he proved himself a truo states- f, man by expressing his convictions even n though they were likely to defeat him 1 for re-election. Tho ridiculous clamor P for "protection to American industries" ® has not produced the slightest impres- Jj sion upon him, and his demand for a j. reduction of the tariff to a revenue basis E is sufficient proof of his consistency to v his ideas. Cleveland accepts and stands n squarely upon the platform of his party, w Nothing more could be asked or expect- jj ed from him for the present. WITHOUT the least exaggeration it may be stated that the outlook for the election of a Democratic president was never brighter. Real and sincere liar- t mony prevails from New York to Cali fornia and from the lakes to the gulf, a Four years ago the party was split into I innumerable factions, but four years of j Republican rule awakened the leaders to their duty. Democrats, for the first j ( time in years, stand shoulder to shoulder fighting for principles which they be- b lieve to bo right, and which they are u not ashamed to acknowledge. Nothing f but another national steal like in 1876, h or a vote-buying election like in 1888, can prevent Cleveland from being the * next president, and if he is elected c fairly, as was Tilden, all the power of ] the Republicans will not keep him out g of the White House. t! a NEARLY everybody remembers the p New York World's terrible accusations v against Matt Quay a few years ago, but p they are nothing when compared to the d broadsides the same paper is now giving ' to Dave Martin, of Philadelphia, who ® has been sent to New York to super- intend the distribution of the Republi- -j can boodle money. The World started c less than a week ago to show who be is, h but the effects of its work is already ij shown in the letters received by the c national committee, imploring that body 1 to dispense with the services of Martin. 1 He is charged (and the charges are j proved bv affidavits) with being the ( leader for years of a gang of repeaters, j falsifying election returns, forgery, I buying votes, attempted murder, and a ] string of other penitentiary crimes J which make him a fit person to succeed the notorious Quav. The World has 1 served notice upon Martin that it will either make him leave New York before • election day or live in the hottest climate j he has ever experienced, SenHatlonullHin Running; Wild. The reporters of the Hazleton papers are not "in it" when it comes to competing with the Associated Press correspondent in dishing up sensational news. Their accounts of the little child who wandered away from its home at Harleigh varied from one inch in the Speaker to three in the Sentinel, but the party who gathers "news" for the metropolitan blanket sheets couldn't re sist the temptation to spread. The Philadelphia papers cut his re port down to a reasonble length, but the New York journals let it go through without boiling, and a weird and thrill ing story it makes. "More than a thousand men and women," says the Hazleton correspon dent, "are tramping through the forests and over the mountains in search of her." "The mines are idle and the thick woods are being scoured by big, burly miners who came out of their holes in the ground and spent three days and nights without sleep in their efforts to find the little girl they loved." "The mother and father are almost erased with grief over the loss of little Alice. They fear she has been devour ed by the wild animals that infest the dense forest which extends for miles into this mountainous district." Three-quarters of a column of the above i kind of "news" is given, capped with a big scare head. It's no wonder residents of the cities shudder when they hear of j Hazleton or the coal regions. Such stuff is enough to frighten tho people of | i'atagopia. 1 CREDULOUS MR. PECK RIDICULOUS REPORT OF THE NEW YORK LABOR COMMISSIONER. Protected Manufacturers Concoct Their Own Statistics and Peck Uses Them. Fallacious Reasoning, Illogical Conclu sions and Grave Misconceptions. What is this report of Labor Cominis lioner Charles F. Peck, of New York, which President Harrison is quoting and about which the Republicans are making as muoh fuss aa if it were the only really valuable piece of campaign material that they have got hold of this year? 1. What did Mr. Peck attempt to show? 2. What did he think would show this? 3. How did ho obtain the required in formation? 4. What figures or facts did he obtain? 5. What do and do not theso figures prove? First—Mr. Peck attempted to show "the offect of the tariff on labor and wages," in order that voters might know whether a "protective tariff" or a "tariff for revenue only" is to be preferred. Second—He evidently assumed and J thought that increased production and earnings wonld show that the effects of the high protective tariff act of 1890 wero beneficial to labor. This was a violent assumption on the part of Mr. Peck and is not creditable to him as a statistician, a logician or a Democrat. There might be a dozen different causes for either high or low production or earnings, the , most important of which might have no , connection directly or indirectly with j tariffs. For example, bountiful rains • and favorable weather in 1891 produced , good crops here when there was a scarci- , ty abroad. This caused unusual roturus j for our crops and a boom in business in no way due to any tariff act. The low price of cotton made cotton mills pros perous and inado more hours' (day and night) work for spinners, weavers, etc. Such causes as these may, and probably do, account for most of the increased production and earnings—which are by no means synonomous with increased wages and may mean inoro work for more pay, the rate of wages being the same or even lower, but Mr. Peck sees nothing except the tariff in all this. He , had a "preconceived theory," which , makes the tariff responsible for prosper- , ity or depression in business, and though • he pretends to he a Democrat yet it is evident that he is noither a Democrat nor does he understand Democratic doc trine on the tariff question. Democrats do not claim, as his report assumes, that "protection" will entirely prevent increased production and earn ings or that it will raise or lower nom inal wages. They simply claim that it lias little or nothing to do with high or : low wages, hut that it does have much | to do with the amount of goods that can ( be purchased with wages. But on this < most important phase of the subject Mr. . Peck is silent, except that he mentions the omission in a manner that wonld in dicate that it is comparatively unim portant. That his "preconceived the ories" were in favor of protection is obvious from his statement in the New York Tribune of Sept. 8, in which, he says: "I see that protection is a good thing for the manufacturers, and I know also that the manufacturers would not , pay highor prices for their labor if it were not for the unions. By means of I protection labor is able to enforce the demands that it makes upon the manu . facturers." Of course there is but little - connection, except in tho minds of Mr, Peck and other protectionists, between a duty on manufactured goods and wages This report that has "knocked the Chi cago platform silly" and "raised the hopes of the Republicans 10 per cent." , is then but the half fledged and illogical , conception of a protectionist In the • name of Democracy it seeks to prove or i disprovo the Republican claim that pros perity ia impossible without "protec tion," whereas Democrats do not deny that in a country liko this—the biggest free trade country in the world when territory is considered considerable prosperity may accompany even Mc- Kinley protection. Third—Notice now how Mr. Peck went to work to obtain the data which was to settle forever this tariff discus sion. "Some 8,000 blanks," ho says, "wero addressed and mailed to as many separate establishments through out tho state." A circular letter in formed the manufacturers that "the in formation received would be used only in a general way, so that the business of any individual firm would not be recog nized." Thus guaranteed against de tection, 6,000 of these protected manu facturers aud zealous Republicans did their duty to their country and them selves by fixing up figures which should leave no doubt us to the effects of Mo- Kinleyisin and sent them to Mr. Peck, the gentluman who possosses a medal for his ability to display figures, and who deserves one for his methods of col lecting them. But what of the 2,000 who did not re ply to Pock's circular, "How do you do, beneficiaries of McKinley?" Why did they not reply? Could they not muke figures expressivo of their gratitude to McKinley, or did they not have faith in Peck and believe that he would keep his promise to shield them from exposure by withholding all names from the pub lic? It would he interesting to learn why they did not reply and what their replies would have been. But perhaps they would have spoiled the report for Republican purposes, in which case this campaign would have been tamo and uninteresting. Credulous Mr. Peck! He has the same implicit confidence in the unverified fig ures of these interested manufacturers that The American Economist had when it obtained, by the some methods, its list of twonty-eight McKinley wage ad vances. But unfortunately for it The Economist gave names and locutions, so ! that an Investigation was possible. The Reform club at once got the facts in each case and proved that there hud been far more wage reductions in these mills than advances, and that instead of 1 supplying reliable information the man ufacturere had treated The Economist to a collection of falsehoods. Senator Aldrich is another over cred ulous protectionist statistician. When he wished to annihilate Hon. John De Witt Warner's list of "100 tariff trusts" he sent out blanks to protected manu facturers, asking them to state whether or not they were members of trusts. Of course in the face of criminal statutes and public opinion, the manufacturers strenuously denied that they were in a trust—in many cases, where they wero dodging from one state to another, un der aliases to escape prosecution, or where the courts had declared that they had a trust. But Aldrich paraded their denials in The Congressional Record and apparently believes these millionaire monopolists inpapublo of coloring facts. As the New York World puts it: "Mr. Peok's report Was made, like the Mc- Kinley tariff law, by the manufacturers ■—by the people who expect to reap the benefits. They first prepared the bill, and are now reporting on its effect in the state of New York. In aid of this pretty schemo Mr. Peck refuses to make public the letters on which ho bases his assertions." Fourth—Mr. Peck's figures show a net increase of production of $31,815,180. and of wages of $6,377,985 in 1891 over 1890—523.11 to each of the 285,000 em ployees, or $48.90 to each employee in the fifty-one trades showing increased wages—there being 89,717 instances of individual increuses. Fifth—Suppoeing that theso statistics ore correct they show that from some canse or causes—perhaps good crops or it may be increased prices for manufac tured goods—the value of manufactured products has increased $81,000,000, about one-fifth of which has gone to labor probably for work done—and four-fifths of which rest snugly in tho pockets of protected manufacturers. That Mr. Peck should jump to tho conclusion that this increase in earnings meant incroa°e< 1 rates of wages aud that these wore due to a tariff law, is unbecoming to him as a statistician and inconsistent with his past records. In 1888, 1889 and 1890 he attributed wage increases to labor or ganizations, strikes and national pros perity. Theso statistics also contradict those of the senate committee —obtained with considerable care—which show that wages have advanced somewhat in fif teen unprotected industries, hut have fallen slightly in fifteen highly protected industries. In many industries the statistics ap pear to he entirely inconsistent with previous and with contemporaneous statistics and to depend largely upon the elasticity of the consciences of the makers. Thus the average yearly wages in the agricultural implements industry for 1890 is $654.80 in New York and $119.10 in Massachusetts—a difference greater than usually exists between wages in this and in European countries —and yet these two states have the same tariff law. In the Becond industry men tioned (arms and ammunition) the aver ago yearly wages in 1890 were $561.45 in Massachusetts and $492.42 in New York. The third (artificial teeth) shows yearly wages of $554.45 in Massachu setts and $192 in New York—but not withstanding this tremendous difference the high priced labor of Massachusetts oompetos with the pauper labor of Now York. But by 1891 wages in this in dustry had increused to $254.45 —that is from about sixty-five to eighty cents per day. Analysis of other industries shows tho same glaring inconsistencies and demonstrates the entire worthlessness of such statistics, except for Republican campaign purposes. But there are, as Mr. J. Schoenhof has shown, important and significant omissions in Peck's list of protective in dustries. Three of these are the highly protected and exceeding important in dustries of cotton goods, hots, caps, etc., and iron and stoel products. In theso, both the number of employees and their unnuul earnings hud declined heavily from 1870 to 1880. Hero are tho census tables (iu thousands): , 1870 , 18S0 . No. of No. of Wages. Hands. Wages.

If space would permit many other ' surface inconsistencies und Incongruities could be pointed out, but the one thing most desired by critics is the names and locations of firms where wage increases have occurred. Let these be given, and the falsity of the whole list will soon be exposed, for the alleged advanoes are contrary to the experience and knowl edge of the employees. Mr. Peck in ; vites tho closest scrutiny of the figures in his office, but he declares he will per | mit no one to see the names attached. ! Hence it is probable that his tables will be quoted by Republicans till the No j vember elections. They may give He i publicans something to talk about and . to buoy up their hopes, but as individual experiences aro that it is more difficult j to earn a living now than before 1890, this crude and garbled report of Mr. I Peck is likely to prove a failure as a vote getter for the Republicans. Shooting Both Ways. Next to the report on production and wages in New York, which is compiled from the replies of protected manufac turers to Peck's implied question, "How aro you and your employees gutting on | under McKinleyistn?" President Harrl ' son's letter of acceptance is just now at- I tracting more attention from Republic j ana than any other document. With such ammunition as this the double | barreled "protection und reciprocity" guns—loaded to shoot in opposite dlrec- I tions—will have no trouble in dispers ing any "free trade" mob that can col laat op .protected Anwrtflw eoU.

What is the Electropoise ? and What Will it Do? The Electropoise lias been in use for four years, and is well known in some sections ol the United States, but there are a great niany sufferers that have never heard the nutne. Those that have heard of it and seen something of its wonderful power, are curious to know how an instrument so small and so simple can accomplish cures so great. Now, while the Electropoise is very wonderful, it is not at all mysterious. Its operation falls in with what we know of science and any one at ull familiar with the simplest facts of Biology and l'hysics can understand. HOW IT OPERATES.—The way in which the Electropoise accomplishes ita cures is very simple and natural. It consists of a polarizer, which is connected by a woven wire cord with a small plate aud garter. This polarizer is im mersed in cold water, or put on ice. The plate at the other end of the cord is attached to the warm body of the patient, generally at the unkle. From the inherent nature of this polurizer it becomes negatively charged. By the well-known laws of induction, the plate, and with it the body of the patient, becomes intuitively charged. The body thereby becomes a centre of attraction for negative bodies. Oxygen is the most negative form of matter in nature. Hence the body, bathed in the atmos phere, drinks in the life-giving oxygen at every pore. Every process of life is thereby quickened. Ihe temperature rises; the pulse throbsi with a fuller beat; the skin tingles with new life; every organ acts with renewed vigor, and the effete poisonous products of the body are thrown off with ease. That quickened chunge of matter which oxygen produces throughout the system, is accompanied by a largely increased genesis of Nerve Force. Organs half dead and stag nant are born again, and begin to perform their wonted functions. The heart, the lungs, the liver, the organs of the external senses, the organs of reproduction—all these throw off their derungement and weakness, and even the disordered intellect is ofttimes reenthroned. Where disease has not already made too great ravages, restoration to perfect health is in evitable. The Electropoise is generally used at night while the patient is asleep, but may In applied, of course, at any time, and to several persons during the twenty-lour hours It will last a life-time, never wears out nor loses its strength, never needs mending nor recharging. tine in each family will render that family largely indei>endent of doctors and druggists, and thus will save every year many times its small cost. NOT AN ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE. —The Electroi>oigc is not in any way akin to the numerous electrical appliances, such as Iteltn, insoles, cornet#, sli iritis, euk of its re sults. About one year ago we recommended it to Bro. 1.1). Ware, of Philadelphia, for his son, who was a great sufferer from Sciatica. He had sought relief in various ways and found none. He was almost helpless, and rapidly de clining. The use of the Electropoise restored him to perfect health, and now, after nearly a year, he js rejoicing as < me who has found grcut spoil. We have seen testimonials of most re tuarkable cures. This notice of the Electro poise is without solicitation, and entirely gra tuitous. We do it for the good of the afflicted. We have no personal interest in it, and are not paid for whut we say in its favor." The following editorial in Central Methodist, Uutlettsburg, ky., was written by Zcphuniah Meek, I). 1)., editor: • "Unless about ten thousand men, mainly pro fessional men, lawyers, doctors, editors, preach ers, aud all other classes, including the writer, are very much mistaken, the Electropoise ef fects cures and gives relief where all other known remedies have failed. Especially is it efficacious in the case of delicate women and feeble children. I have used one for the past two years, and And it invaluable as a curative agent."
