DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
The Force Bill in the Next Congress.
In order to lull apprehensions in re
gard to the Force bill, the Chicago Tri
bune says that even should Harrison be
re-elected there is no prospects of a Re
publican majority in the next house of
representatives. This is a very slender
reliance. We have no example in which
the majority of a house chosen in a pre
sidential year and the successful candi
date for the Presidency were not of the
same political party.
It is true that the, Republican major
ity returned to the house four years ago
did not exceed three in number, subse
quently increased to twenty by a pre
varicating committee on elections; but it
was enough for partisan ends.
The election of a large Democratic
majority to the house in 1870, when
Ilayes was counted into the office of
president, affords no exception to the
rule, as Tilden was the choice of the
people.
Should Harrison he elected there is
little doubt that a Republican house
would aIBO be secured; and a house in 1
political harmony with the senate and
the president would mean a new Force
bill. A Force hill passed by congress
and signed by the president would mean
a Republican majority in future houses
of represntatives, no matter whom the
people might choose at the ballot box.
In this "infamous measure," as Sena
tor Teller of Colorado described it, is
contained the machinery to perpetuate
a partisan majority in congress in the ,
interest of the men controlling the ma
chine. This would be its effect; and this '
is the design of its authors.
The Force bill is nothing else than an
attempt to defeat the free expression of
the popular will; to gag the voice of j
the people for years to come. It is a |
link in the chain for binding the nation .
hand and foot in order to confirm and 1
maintain the will of the monopolistic
bands who, through a system of tariff :
robbery and fraud, are sucking the life
blood of the people.
Never have the lust for power and
spoils, the spirit of violence and the
reckless hostility of a party toward pop
ular institutions betrayed themselves
more thoroughly than in this measure.
If the people should give to the Re
publican party power to pass this meas
ure, then complaints would come too
late when they should find the freedom
of elections ruthlessly destroyed.
Forewarned is forearmed. When a
leading Republican journal confesses
that the only barrier against the Force
bill is in the failure to elect a Republi
can president and a Republican house of
representatives the most unwary voter
should recognize the extent of the dan
ger that menaces free elections. — Record.
BECAUSE work in the coal regions is
brisk this month some of the combine
sheets are busily engaged in praising the
great monopoly for its generosity in al
lowing the miners to work full time.
But why shouldn't they always work
steady? Anthracite is in demand at all
seasons of the year, and there is no ex
cuse for idle time in this industry. The
miners have no reason to thank the
Reading for giving them steady work.
Such a thing is only natural while there
are millions of consumers.
PICK up almost any Republican paper
these days and you will find a statement
to the effect that there are plenty of idle
men eager to take any kind of employ
ment at any kind of pay. Then turn to
the political column and you will find j
that, so great a blessing hag the McKinley
bill been, workingmen are fully employ- |
el and reveling in prosperity.
The Single Tux Would Remedy 11.
A law should be passed that will j
equalize taxation. That is a law that;
will be honest to the farm holder who I
is now assessed as high for farm land as I
coal operators are for coal land that can- I
not be purchased at any price. This is
unjust to the farmer and should not be. j

MACVEAGH'S LETTER.
GARFIELD'S ATTORNEY GENERAL
WILL VOTE FOR CLEVELAND.
110 Considers His Action a Matter ol
Duty—McKinleyltiin Is a Robbery of
tlie MKHHOD to Iteiieflt a Few —A Fear
ful lJlow to the Republican Ticket.
i Following the expressed determina
tion of Judges Cooley and Gresham to
vote for Cleveland, Hon. Wayne Mac-
Veagh, of Pennsylvania, attorney gen
eral in President Garfield's cabinet, has
declared his intention to do likewise in
the following able letter:
John W. Carter, Esq., Secretary of the
Massachusetts Reform Club:
Your cordial invitation to address the
citizens of Boston oil the issues of the
cauvass happens to reach me just when
professional engagements prevent my
naming a time when I can do so, but
you are quite right in concluding that J
intend to vote for Mr. Cleveland. Enter
taining the convictions I do, no other
course is open to me, and I cheerfully
accord to the supporters of President
Harrison the same sense of public duty
by which I claim to be actuated. As
both parties have presented unexception
able candidates there is no reason why
the differences which exist upon ques
tions of public policy should be dis
cussed otherwise than in good humor
and with entire respect for each other's
opinions.
In the present campaign what may
fairly be called the false alarms of the
canvass will prove of little value be
cause of the general confidence in the
safe and conservative character of both
candidates. The average voter knows
that free trade is impossible in this coun
try, for the conclusive reason that the
vast revenues now required to meet the
expenses of the government will neces
sarily afford a far higher degree of pro
tection to our established and prosperous
manufactures than either Alexander
Hamilton or Henry Clay thought desir
able in the infancy of our weak and
struggling industries. The average voter
also knows that the irredeemable paper
currency in use before the war can never
reappear. On the other hand he knows
as well that no system of duties on im
ports, however inequitable, can prevont
our continued growth in wealth, in man
ufactures and in population—a growth
duo to the incomparable gifts of Provi
dence, the intelligence and energy of the
people and the blessings of free institu
tions.
While I more than ever resolved to
hold duty to country far above any ties
of party, I find myself at present in gen
eral accord with the Democratic party,
and willing to trust its course in the
future. The insight, the courage and
the patriotism the mosses of the party
exhibited in compelling the nomination
of Mr. Cleveland when he was without
a single officeholder to support his can
didacy seems to mo to demand that I
should meet them in the same spirit and
act with them as long as they maintain
that high standard of policy and of ad
ministration.
It is the more eu.sy to do 60 because
tho Republican party, securing its re
turn to power four years ago by promis
ing to preserve matters as they were, at
once embarked upon what I regard as a
reckless and revolutionary policy—even
overturning all the safeguards of legis
lation in the house of representatives in
their haste to pass the force bill and tho
McKinley bill, both, to my mind, un
necessary and unwise measures.
The opposition to the force bill is not
only sure to create far greater evils than
it could cure, but as also subversive of
tho rights of the states has become so
earnest and widespread that it is said to
have been abandoned; but it must not be
forgotten that only two years ago such
a measure was warmly advocated by
President Harrison, earnestly supported
by the Republican party and very nar
rowly escaped becoming a law.
There is no pretense, however, that
the McKinley bill is abandoned. On the
contrary, our express approval of it is
demanded. No doubt that bill, which I
cannot but think was an uncalled for
disturbance of the then existing tariff,
greatly benefited a few interests, but
certainly it really oppressed many
others. Of the protected industries
themselves many were then, as now, in
far more urgent need of free raw mate
rials than of higher protection; but with
raw materials on the free list the bill
could not have passed, for those having
such materials for sale controlled enough
votes to defeat it, and they were very
likely to do so if their bounties were
discontinued. The manufacturers need
ing free raw materials were therefore
obliged to join in the objectionable proc
esses of increasing prices by restricting
production, thus adding to the numt>er
of trusts by which the price of the nec
essaries of life is placed at the mercy
of unlawful combinations of capital.
It is not surprising that labor, lieliev
ixig itself to be oppressed, soon rose in 1
revolt, and civil war has actually raged
this summer in four different sections '
of the country. And of course the
farmers, paying more for what they buy
and getting less for what they sell, grow
poorer day by day, and excellent farms
in some of the most fertile sections of
this most highly protected state will
hardly bring the cost of the buildings
upon thera.
But the economic evils, however great,
of the McKinley bill, and the unreason
able system of protection it represents,
are of far less importance to my mind
, than tho moral evils which follow in
| their wake. In deciding for what pnr
: poses tho masses of the people may prop-
I erly be taxed it must not be forgotten
I that taxes have a wonderful capacity
j for filtering through all intervening ob
i stacles till they reach the bowed back of
toil and rest there, and therefore the
! giving of bounties, under any form of
j taxation, is mainly the giving away of
| the wages of labor. Tho sad truth that
i the curse of the poor is their poverty is
| illustrated in nothing more clearly than
' in the undue share they suffer of the
| burdens of taxation.
' But apart frpio thip consideration,
ought not taxes only to bo imposed as
required for public purposes, or may
they also bo imposed for the pecuniary
advantage of such persons or classes as
are able to control congressional action
in their favor? It seems to mo like a
travesty on taxation to require, as the
McKinley bill does, the farmer who
grows corn in Indiana to pay a bounty
to the farmer who produces cane sugar
in Louisiana, or to require the farmer
who grows wheat in Pennsylvania to
pay a bounty to the farmer who produces
maple sugar in Vermont, but it is nearer
tragedy than travesty to tax the masses
of the people to increase the wealth of
the very wealthy owners of most of our
protected industries.
But even such inequality and injus
tice are the least of its evils, for while
such a system endures political corrup
tion is absolutely sure to increase, as
such a system not only invites but it re
quires, the corrupt use of money both at
the polls and in congress. It is of its
very essence that "fat'' shall be "fried"
out of its beneficiaries. Who shall hap
pen to do the "frying," or who shall hap
pen to distribute the "fat" upon any
particular occasion, is mere matter ot
detail, but while that system lasts both
will continue to be done by somebody.
And the evils of a system of legis
lative bounties, so far from stopping,
only begins with those bounties secured
to the industries protected by the tariff.
The disastrous course of the Republican
party on the silver question is an apt il
lustration of this truth. It ought to be
an honest money party, and it would be
If it could; but while it demanded in
creased bounties for its favorite manu
facturers it could not refuse increased
bounties to the silver producers, as the |
votes they control were probably neces- !
sary to the passage of the McKinley bill.
So situated, the Republican party had
no alternative but to pass the silver law
of 1800, doubling the purchases of silvei
and requiring the building of more
warehouses in which to store the useless
metal. The total purchases made by
the government amount to hundreds of
millions of dollars, and would not real
ize, if resold, one-half their cost, while
the poison of a debased currency, whose
work, however slow, is sure, is making
itself daily more and more felt in every
channel of business and finance, and is
inevitably driving gold out of the coun
try and leading us to all the evils of a
fluctuating and therefore dishonest cur
rency based upon silver alone. The Re
publican party cannot take any effective
steps toward repealing the bill, for the
silver men are very likely, if their t>oun
ty is stopped, to so vote that the boun
ties of the McKinley bill will stop also.
The abuses of the pension system fur
nish another apt illustration of the evils
sure to follow such a system of legisla
tion. If congress was to levy Luces
upon the people to confer bounties npon
certain classes of manufacturers it was
very natural that the pension agents
should also loin hands to increase their
fees by an indiscriminate granting of
pensions. The result is that nearly a
generation after the close of the war
there is a steady increase of the vast
sums passing through the pension agents'
: hands, until now the total amount stag
| gers belief, and has become of itself a
very serious burden npon the treasury.
From the day of Lee's surrender until
now no single voice has ever been raised
against the most generous provision for
every person who had any just claim
upon the gratitude of the country; but
surely there is neither reason nor justice
in legislation which destroys all distinc- j
tion between the discharge of duty and j
the shirking of it, between loyal service I
and desertion of the colors, between <
wounds received in battle and diseases
contracted in the pursuits of peace.
There is still another great and in- '
creasing evil, chiefly traceable, in my
opinion, to the maintenance of an ex
cessive tariff since the war and the con
stant meddling with it to make it higher,
and that is the bringing to our shores
of those vast swarms of undesirable im
migrants who degrade American labor
by their competition and threaten the
stability of institutions based npon an
intelligent love of country. Just as the
duties upon imported merchandise have
been increased so has the grade of im
ported labor been lowered, until now,
under the McKinley bill, there are com
ing here every month many thousands;
of more ignorant and therefore less de- ]
sirable laborers than ever before. It is I
not easy to exaggerate the moral evils
they are likely to inflict upon our social
order and onr national life.
As the Republican party is now defi
nitely committed to the policy of taxing
the people for the purpose of giving
bounties to such i>ersons or interests as
can secure the necessary votes in con
gress, so the Democratic party is now as
definitely committed to tlie policy of re
stricting taxation to the needs of the
fovernment for public purposes alone,
he gulf fixed between these two poli
cies of taxation is as wide and deep as
can well exist between political parties,
and I am also convinced that tho old
causes in which I am interested cannot
hope for success until the avowed policy
of the Republican party on this subject
is overthrown.
Until then the right of each statu to
control elections within its borders will
not he secure. Until then there is 110
prospect of us enjoying the single and
stable standard of value which other
civilized and commercial nations possess.
Until then there is no hope of placing
either our pension system or the regula
tion of immigration upon a just and
proper basis. Until then the purifica
tion of our politics will continue "the
iridescent dreain" which high Republic
an authority has declared it must al
ways remain. Until then any pretended
reform of the civil Bervico must prove,
as it has proved these last four years, a
delusion and a Biiare. And until then
even ballot reform, the best help yet dis
covered to llonest elections, and already
threatened with overthrow by the Re
publican managers in Maine, Vermont
uml Indiana, must share the same fate
of betrayal in the house of its pretended
friends. All these good causes are in
the very nature of things the relentless
foes of a system of government by boun
ties to favored interests, and such a sys
tem is their relentless foe.
As 1 believe, for the reasons I have
given, that the true welfare of the coun
try would be promoted by Mr. Cleve
land's election, it is my duty to vote for
him, and as I recall the capacity, the
fidelity and the courage with which he
lias heretofore discharged every public
trust committed to him the duty be
comes a pleasure. Sincerely yours,
WAVWI MACVEAOH.

What is the Electropoise ?
and What Will it Do?
The Electropoise bus been in use for four
years, mi.l is well known in some sections of
tue United States, but. there are a great many
sufferers that have never heard the name.
Those that have heard of it and seen something
of its wonderful power, are curious to know
how an instrument so small und 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 Physics
can understand.
HOW IT OPERATES.—The way in which
the filoctropoißG accomplishes its cures is very
simple and natural. It consists of a pohirizcr
which is connected by a woven wire cord with'
a small plate and 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
ankle. From the inherent nature of this
polarizer it becomes negatively charged. By
the well-known laws of induction, the plate,
and with it the body of the patient, becomes
poeitively 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. The temperature rises; the pulse
throbs 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 change of matter which
oxygen produces throughout the system, is
accompanied by a largely increased genesis of
Nerve Force. Organs hull' dead and stag
nant ure born again, and begin to perforin their
wonted functions. The heart, the lungs, the
liver, the organs of the external senses, the
organs of reproduction—ull these throw off
their derangement and weakness, and even the
disordered intellect is ofttlmes 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 be
applied, ot course, at any time, and to several
persons during the twenty-four hours. It will
last a life-time, never wears out nor loses its
strength, never needs mending nor recharging.
One in each family will render that family
largely independent of doctors and druggists,
und thus will save every year many times its
small cost.
NOT AN ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE,
- The Electro poise is not in any way akin to
the numerous electrical appliances, such as
Itelts, intuitu, cornet*, shields, tie,, palmed off
upon tiie public. It has no method of generat
ing a current, nor meaus of conducting one.
It acts upon well-known bioiogicul principles,
and is heartily endorsed by many of the best
physicians in this and other countries, and is
daily used by them in their practice. It is pro
no united by them the greatest discovery in the
history ol' medicine, in that it does away with
the use of medicines.
1)1 KECTIONS FOR USING.-Accompnny
ing each instrument is a book of instructions
fully explaining its uses. Its method of cure is
so simple and free from danger, that the un
initiated and even children can use it with pur
fect ease and success.
Editorial In Huston Christian Witness ami Ad
vocate of liihle Holiness, September:!, 18fl:
"A method of treatment of disease without
the use of any medicines or drugs, which has
been quietly extending itself over all 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 safe and effective health
restorer. We do not pretend to explain the
philosophy of its workings, but, having realiz
ed its beneficial effects, we can speak of its re
sults. About one yeur ago we recommended it
to Bro. 1.1). Ware, of Philadelphia, for his son,
who was a great sufferer from Sciatica. lie
had sought, relief in various ways and found
none, lie was almost helpless, and rapidly de
clining. The use of the Electropoise restored
him to perfect health, and now. after nearly a
year, lie is rejoicing as one who has found great
spoil. We have seen testimonials of most re
markable 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 jiersonul interest in it, and are not
puid for what we say in its favor."
The following editorial in Central MetluHlist,
Catlettsburg, Ky., was written by Zcphaniah
i Meek, I). I)., editor:
"Unless about ten thousand men, mainly pro
fessional men, lawyers, doctors, editors, preach
ers, and all other clusscs, including the writer,
are very much mistaken, the Electropoise ef
fects cures und gives relief where all other
known remedies have failed. Esi>eciully is it
efficacious in the case of delicate women and
feeble children. I have used one for the past
two years, and find it invaluable us a curative
agent."
Names of prominent people in all sections of
the U.S. generally can be furnished on appli
cation. Our cures cover all parts of the United
States and Europe. Over 50,0U<> people have
been treated with the most gratifying results.
In the large majority or cases the cures have
been speedy, but our claims are modest, and in
long-standing, chronic cases you cannot expect
speedy cures. We positively refuse to sell the
Elect ropoise in hopeless cases.
