DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM. 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!

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,

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):

Cotton goods $287 $224 SO3
Bats, caps, etc. 440 410 33
Iron and steel prod'ts. 600 070 155
The increase in the value of the prod
ucts is no greater—in fact loss—than the
United States statistics would indicate.
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

I tions—will have no trouble in dispers
ing any "free trade" mob that can col

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, <frc„ palmed off
upon the public. It has no method of generat
ing a current* nor means of conducting one.
it acts upon well-known biological principles,
and is heartily endorsed by many of the best
physicians in this and other countries, and is
daily used by them iu their practice. It is pro
nounced by them the greatest discovery iu the
history of medicine, in that it does away with
the use of medicines.
DIRECTIONS FOR USlNG.—Accompany
ing each, instrument is a book of instructions
fully explaining Its uses. Its method of cure is
so simple aud free from danger, that the un
initiated and even children can use it with per
fect ease and success.
Editoriul in Boston Christian Witness and Ad
vocate of Bible Holiness , September 8, lstil:
"A method of treatment of disease without
the use of any medicines or drugs, which has
been quietly extending itself over ull parts of
the United States during the past three years
with very gratifying results.
We are slow to commend new discoveries of
any kind, for the reason that so many of them
prove to be worthless. But we can commend
the Electropoise as a sale and effective health
restorer. We do not pretend to explain the
philosophy of its workings, but, having realiz
ed its benetlciul effects, we can <q>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

We have no personal interest in it, and are not

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."
Names of prominent people In all sections of
the U. 8. generally can lie furnished on appli
cation. Our cures cover all parts of the United
.States and Europe. Over aO,OUO people have
been treated with the most gratifying results.
In the large majority of cases the cures have
been speedy, but our claims are modest, and in
long-standing, chronic cases you cannot ex|>ect
speedy cures. We positively refuse to sell the
Electropoise in hopeless cases.
