FREELAND, DECEMBER 26, 1892.
Tii Popular Vote for President.
Except in one or two states, the
official returns of the late election for
president are complete; and they show
a total vote of a little more than 12,000,-
000 in round figures. This is a surpris
ingly small increase upon the vote of
1888, which amounted to 11,370,632 —a
gain of 1,318,026 over the presidential
rote of 1884. The returns indicate a re
markable abstention from the exercise
of the suffrage in a presidential year.
While the Democrats have gained
something like 80,000 over the vote of
1888, the Republicans have lost about
160,000 votes. But in the states of Colo
rado, Idaho, Kansas, Nevada, Oregon,
Nebraska and Wyoming the Democratic
vote was absorbed in the fusion with the
People's party upon the electoral tickets
for president, In these states much the
larger porportion of the votes for General
Weaver was drawn from the Demo
cratic party in the effort to defeat the
Republican electors. Bnt all estimates
of the gain and loss of votes for presi
dent must be untrustworthy, since it is
impossible to ascertain in what ratio the
1,000,000 of votes for General Weaver
were contributed by the two parties. Iu
the total vote of the country the Repub
licans are in a minority of upward of
1,700,000.
In a review of the interesting details
of the official returns it will be seen that
the great and magnanimous common
wealth of Texas stands at the head of
the Democratic column, with a plurality
of upward of 211,673 for Cleveland over
Harrison. While Harrison had 77,475
votes, Weaver bad 99,688 votes, and
Bidwell, the Prohibitionist, 2165 votes.
The Democratic majority over all op
position mounts up to the magnificent
figure of 100,000 votes. Although Texas
is the second wool-growing state in the
Union, it is evident that men, not sheep,
do the voting in that proud common
wealth.
Next in the Democratic column stands
Georgia, with a Cleveland plurality of
upward of 80,000 votes. Then comes
Louisiana, with a Democratic majority of
more than 60,000 votes, in spite of the
sugar bounty sop extended to its plan
ters. Alabama, where there was so
much "rainbow chasing," rolls up a
Democratic majority over the People's
party of upward of 50,000; while the
Republican party is reduced from an
uncertain political quantity to a mere
figure of speech.
Then follows in succession New York,
with a Democratic majority of 45,000;
Missouri, with 40,000; Kentucky with
40,000; Virginia, with 40,000; Tennessee,
with 36,000; South Carolina, with 40,000;
Illinois, with 27,000; and so on down
the Democratic list. In Mississippi both
parties seem to have grown almost tired
of the exerise of the suffrage, as the to
tal vote of that state in the recent elec
tion was only a little more than 50,000,
of which the Democrats received 40,000,
and the People's party 10,000. What is
left of the Republican party in that
state polled just 1406 votes.
Pennsylvania still stands at the head
of the Republican column, with a plur
ality of 63,747 for Harrison upon a
smaller total vote than that of 1888,
Notwithstanding the tariff reform move
ment, Massachusetts still remains the
second Republican state, with a plurality
of 26,000 votes for Harrison, reduced
from 32,000 in 1892. lowa follows with
a Republican majority of 23,000, a fall of
10,000; Minnesota, with 22,000, a fall of
16,000; Michigan, with 20,000, a fall of
3000; and Vermont, with 21,000, a drop
of nearly 10,000 majority; whilst Kansas
(which gave Harrison a magnificent ma
jority of 80,000 four years ago) lias gone
over to the People's party.
In Ohio, the home of McKinley and
Sherman and the foremost wool-raising
Btate, the Harrison electoral ticket
scrapes through with a plurality of 1000
votes; and California, the third sheep
raising state, goes on the official record,
at last, on the Democratic side.
In this general break-up it would be
premature to attempt to forecast the fu
ture of the Republican party. But it
would be very safe to predict that the
party will never rally again behind BUCII
a policy as that which is embodied in
the McKinley tariff. The old protec
tionists who led the party into this Ser
bonian bog, will be sent to the rear to
the last man.
Like their predecessors, the Whig,
(who sought to hide the unpopularity of
their principles beneath the military
greatcoats of Harrison, Taylor and Scott)
the Republicans will look up one of the
remaining heroes of the civil wsr for
their next candidate for the presidency.
They had enough of the politicians who
inflicted upon them the McKinley tariff,
the dependent pension law and the
Force bill. A more vigorous party than
the Republican could not carry such in
tolerable burdens.— PhUa. Record.

FOR REPUBLICANS TO ANSWER. |
Left Over Questions for Left Over Protec- ,
tlonists.
Perhaps some of the big Republicans
can now find time to answer the follow
ing questions. They are some of those
prepared by Mr. D. Webster Groh, pres
ident of the Chicago Question club, and
fired from all parts of the compass at
McKinley, Sherman and the other tax
yourself-into-prosperity professors. If
they will now give satisfactory answers
they will be forgiven for neglecting to do
so in the rush before election, when the
salvation of the nation was at stake
and all protectionists were engaged in
repelling the threatened invasion of
pauper labor, pauper made goods and
Cobden club gold:
Would Carnegie and other shrewd
protectionists desire a tariff if it cheap
ened what they sell—goods—and made
dearer what they buy—labor?
Why more laboriously make tin plate
itself instead of its cheaper exchange
able equivalent? If toil itself is more
desirable than its fruits—labor products
—why not destroy all labor saving tools
and machinery?
If the tariff is no tax, why refund to
exporting manufacturers 09 per cent,
of the duty on their imported raw ma
terial?
Unless protective tariff enhances do
mestic pricos, why give sugar producers
a bounty in lieu of the removed sugar
duties?
If a tariff on articles cheapens them,
should it not be placed lightest on the
finished product and heaviest on raw
materials to cheapen them, and thus
widen our manufacturers' margin of
profit? Why does the McKinley tariff
invert this order?
If protective tariff is good, why would
not prohibitive tariff be still better?
If international trade is economically
injurious, is not interstate trade equally
hurtful?
Can trusts be injurious and the tariff
fostering them beneficent?
Can foreign trade be injurious, yet
shipping subsidies desirable?
Can tariff cheapen an article, yet si
multaneously raise its producers' wages?
Wise and Wholesome Advice.
We have been asked if we should con
sider it good judgment to renew a lease
of woolen mill property, the only doubt
ful element being the probable condi
tion of the woolen industry during the
next five years covering the period of
the lease. Witheut hesitation we most
certainly answer in the affirmative, for
we can conceive of no reason why the
next five years should not be as produc
tive of good results to the woolen manu
facturer as the past five years.
It is safe to assume that the Demo
cratic party will not legislate against
the beet interests of the country, and
that there will be no legislation which
will be destructive of vested interests.
The aim and purpose of the Democratic
party is the same as that of the Repub
lican party—the difference between the
two parties is wholly one of policy and I
j not of purpose, and the best interests of
the Democratic party are identical with
those of the country—and they lie in
the direction of preserving our manu
facturing industries and also in further
ing their growth under what they re
gard as healthy and constitutional limits.
It is very probable that under a tariff
based even upon entirely free law ma
terial and reasonable duties on manu
factured goods there will be a larger and
more ample net protection than the
woolen manufacture has had in years.
There is a vast difference between an
apparent protection, as in the McKinley
bill, and an absolute protection, which
may be obtained under a far lower rate
of duties than we now have. In the
instance cited in these columns last
week where the duties were 132 per cent,
of the invoice price there is apparently a
large protection, but the fact that the
foreign manufacturer can pay this
amount of duty and undersell the do
mestic manufacturer is evidence that
there is not much actual protection.
No one can forecast the policy under
which we are to conduct business the
next four years or so, but no sane man
will for a moment believe that whatever
it is it will seriously impair the pros
perity of the woolen industry.—Ameri
can Wool and Cotton Reporter.
Ask for Absolutely Free Sugar.
Observe the handiwork of the Sngar
trust, and then write to your represent
ative in congress to do his best to abol
ish one of the most obnoxious duties in
the whole schedule of McKinley abomi
nations, and tell him to be quick about
it too. Also add that the people in your
neighborhood want entirely free sugar
and will kick hard against a tax to en
rich sugar refiners or sugar growers or
even to produce a revenue, because sugar
is an important raw material to many
industries as well as a food. Send him
this table showing how the trust, since
it gained complete control of the refin
ing business, has been steadily depress-1
ing the prico of raw and advancing the
price of refined sugar to the detriment
of sugar growers on the one hand and
of consumers on the other:
96 ilegs. centrifugal. Granulated. Difference.
Cents per lb. Cents per lb. Cents.
Dec. 31,1891 3% t %

May 26, 1893 31-16 15-10
Nov. 26, 1892... t 3-16 411-16 1)4
Then inform him that the cost of re
fining is less than five-eighths cents per
pound, and that, as the per capita con
sumption of sngar in the United States
is about seventy pounds, each difference
of 1-16 of a cent between the price of
raw and refined sugar extorts about $2,-
600,000 from the pockets of the people
and puts it into the pockets of the trust.
Without any duty the trust would be
making about $30,000,000 a year clear
profit—nearly 100 per cent. With the
duty of one-half cent per pound it can
and does raise prices one-half cent higher
and adds $20,000, 1 000 to its already enor
mous profits.
Then if he votes to leave the duty as
it is or to put another duty on raw
I sugar, tell him he no longer represents
you. and vote to retire him.
Looking for Engagements.
Just at this period of the year, when
the pantomime season is rapidly ap
proaching, actors and actresses, particu
larly those of the lighter schools, fly to
the papers to secure engagements. The
current number of the principal journal
devoted to theatrical and music hall re
quirements contains vast numbers of
advertisements, not only of this kind,
but of every possible requisite for the
stage, and some particulars of them may
prove interesting.
There are 404 ladies, including both
actresses proper and music hall stars,
major and minor, who have vacant dates
that require filing. In addition to these,
thirty-three combinations of "sisters,"
eleven troops of lady gymnasts and
trick bicyclists, three fat women, two
lady champion rifle shots and a strong
lady seek engagements. Even this doe 9
not complete the list. Twentv-fourcom
petent lady pianists want something to
do, nine leading chorus ladies have no
where to sing, and four female instruc
tors will he happy to teach dancing to
aspiring disciples of Tersipchoro.
The male portion of the community is
represented by 419 advertisements, in
cluding exponents of the legitimate
drama and representatives of the music
hall stage. To these must be added nine
jugglers, fourteen tight rope walkers and
aerial trapeze specialists, four strong
men, a dozen circus clowns, six conjur
ers and a man monkey—whatever the
latter may be. There are fifty-eight in
strumentalists who desire positions in
orchestras, and seven amateurs wish to
go on the stage. Trios, families and
troops are found in twenty-five instances.

The March of Mind.
The two boys, eleven and thirteen
years old, who snatched a woman's
pocketbook at the postofflce, where she
was writing a money order, and then
led the policeman a merry chase by hall
ways and roofs, illustrate the march of
mind. When the novelist of "Oliver
Twist" sketched the youthful London
criminal, with whom he was well ac
quainted, ho makes him an expert pick
pocket. Ho appears as versatile and
ready of wit in doubling and covering
his trail, but nothing will be found in
his performance that suggests the New
World audacity. In its minor field it is
of a piece with the dash that robs west
ern banks and holds up railway trains.
It is the revelation of a mental quality,
and as such is worthy the meditation of
the philosopher.—Now York Evening
Sun.
A Roa Constrictor Anions the liaiiuiia.s.
As a merchant on Louisiana avenue
was unloading a wagon load of bananas
a small boa constrictor dropped from
one of the bunches. There was a gen
eral stampede, during which the native
of Central America calmly coiled itself
and waited developments. In a few
moments a large crowd had assembled
at a safe distance and his snakeship was
discussed at long range. The cold pave
ment, however, and the chilling atmos
phere were not conducive to a great
amount of hilarity on the part of the
snake, and after a little while he tied
himself in a dozen bowknots, tucked
his head out of sight and went to sleep.
It was a fatal mistake, for a moment
later he was a prisoner, and now poises
in coils as the chief attraction in a mu
seum in Twelfth street.—Washington
Star.
Quail Im Cheap This Season.
One of the most astonishing things
just now is the cheapness of quail in all
the restaurants around the city. I be
lieve the birds are remarkably plenty
this year, for the market is certainly
drugged with them.
It is amusing to see men who have all
their lives looked upon quail as rather
an expensive luxury pick up a bill of
faro from a restaurant table and read,
"Roast quail, thirty-five cents." They
can scarcely believe their eyes. The
majority of them "just know for a cer
tainty" that the dish is not what it pre
tends to be. It can't be possible they
tell you. The birds must be robins or
something like that. All the same they
eat them and enjoy the meal, for the
birds are quail, and good ones too.—New
j York Herald.
Why He Failed.
A queer story is told of a Clermont
county merchant a few weeks ago.
While in this city he was attracted by
the watches displayed in a pawnshop
window and stepped inßide to examine
them. Two or three persons from his
village happoned to pass and saw him.
They went home and gossiped about the
matter. A report was spread that he
was hard up and had been seen pawning
his watch in Cincinnati. The report in
jured his business and his creditors also
began to press him. In a short time he
was compelled to make an assignment.

A Coroner's Expenses.
The statement of the expenses of Dr.
Thomas Masson, candidate for coroner
on the Democratic ticket, as filed with
the county clerk under the statute, is as
follows:
My whole election expenses consist
of this sheet of pajrr and envelope and
two cent stamp and the time taken to
write you and go before the proper per
son to be sworn.—Watertown (N. Y.)
Times.
Fighting a Shark.
A Roche Ilarbor (Wash.) young wom
an recently had quite an experience
with a large shark, which undertook to
get a salmon from her hook while she
was hauling her line in. By persistent
efforts with an oar she succeeded in
getting the best of him, but in diving
he slashed the boat with his tail, nearly
upsetting it.—Philadelphia Ledger.
Mexican Telegraphs anil IlailroaUs.
In the republic of Mexico there are
now about 22,000 miles of telegraph lines
in operation, including the new lines
constructed since last April. Tliero are
now over 6,600 miles of railroad in Mex
ico, about 124 miles having been con
structed since last April.
OUR FARMERS PAY THE TAX.
American Agricultural Machinery Sold
Cheaper to Foreigners.
Andrew Carnegie says of agricultural
machinery in a letter to the London
Times: "A leading manufacturer of this
in England told me recently that he had
closed out this business in all the colo
nies; the Americans had conquered the
field; even from the continent of Europe
he and others were being driven, and
here at home reapers and binders of
American make were rendering busi
ness impossible."
All of which is doubtless true. But it
will puzzle the Carnegies of Europe and
America to explain in this connection
the benefit to America of the 45 per cent,
duty on agricultural implements. Of
course, if by America we mean the few
manufacturers of agricultural imple
ments, the benefits are easily under
stood. The duty gives them the monop
oly of the best market in the world at
any prices they may lix inside of a cer
tain limit—about 50 per cent, more than
the same goods cost in foreign markets.
This, in fact, is the use made of the duty.
Our manufacturers make the best and
cheapest implements in spite of high
wages and tariff taxed materials. But
instead of selling at free competition
prices they form trusts and combines to
sustain prices at home. Foreigners,
however, not living under our beneficent
protective system, get our manufactured
products at actual cost of production
with reasonable profits added. This is
from 5 to GO per cent, under American
prices. There can be no doubt on this
point.
Mr. A. B. Farquhar, of York. Pa., one
of the largest manufacturers of agricul
tural implements, does not deny it.
"Certainly," he says, "our manufactures
•are sold much lower abroad; we could
only need protection to get better prices
from our customers at home." He thinks
protection is a swindle upon the farmer,
but as a manufacturer he will get what
he can out of the system because it is
only in this way that he can gut even
with it for the tax which it places on his
raw materials.
Secretary of Agriculture Jeremiah M.
Rusk said in 1890: "I had an opportu
nity to take some stock in the combina
tion (National Harvester trust), and 1
know what inducements were offered.
An investigation will show that this
same combination is now selling or offer
ing to sell machinery in Russia and
Australia and other wheat growing
countries at a lower figure than they do
in this country."
Based upon this fact he gave his Re
publican friends warning of the land
slide of 1892 in the conditionally pro
phetic words: "This Mower and Reaper
trust will cost the Republican party
hundreds of thousands of votes at the
next presidential election unless it takes
a firm stand against it and trusts in
general."
If any one still has doubts let him
write to Mr. E. W. Stout, a farmer near
Trenton, who recently visited his father
in England. While there be bought
American made plows, hayrakes, culti
vators and feed cutters because he found
that after paying all expenses of ship
ment back (in the same packing boxes
in which they were exported) he could
save "considerably more than 10 per
cent." He said: "On the plows the sav
ing will be fully 25 per cent., I think,
for the prices for American made plows
on the other side are just about half the
prices charged for the same things in
this country."
When Mr. Stout told this to his neigh
bors he had not yet received his goods.
He cut short his visit to return home to
vote for a system that would protect
Americans while they are at home.
President Harrison's Pluck.
It is now announced that President
Harrison will make a protracted visit to
Europe, where he will study economic
conditions for the purpose of writing a
book on the tariff. He is still convinced
that the so called "American system" is
the correct one and will endeavor to
prove that such is the case. General
Harrison is more plucky than the farm
er's yearling bull that ran full tilt at an
advancing locomotive. "I admire yer
pluck," shouted the farmer, "but darn
yer judgment!" The general has been
knocked from the track, but is up again
and ready for another encounter. All
there is of the tariff question can be ex
pressed in live word—the tariff is
tax. Unless Mr. Harrison finds that out
before ISU6 he will be too far behind the
times to lead even the Republican party
in that year.—Chicago Herald.
Will I.OOU the Fact, la the Face.
If protected manufacturers are wise
they will take pause as calamity proph
ets and accept the lesson so clearly
taught by the people. The many will
consent tc he taxed for the benefit of
American labor to the exact extent of
attaining "the greatest good for the
greatest number," but just there they
will call a halt. They will not consent
that the many shall be taxed for the
benefit of a favored few. Not only will
the Cleveland administration refuse as
sent to such a policy, but no party
power of the future, whether Democrat
ic or Republican, will ever assent to it
again. It is dead—dead beyond the
reach of the resurrection trump. The
late election was a revolution, and revo
lutions take no steps backward.--Pliila
delphia Times.

A New aiul Wonderful Invention.
[ In reading a newspaper recently I came
across an account of a new and wonderful
invention. It is so wonderful that I feel
it my duty to spread the news, so that
the public may he forewarned, for peo
ple have been known to indulge in fits
on less provocation than the exhibition
of this new invention. Suppose you
should wake up some gloomy morning
in the fall, rush to the window, and
while you are looking at the gray clouds
should see the following sentence in
bright letters suddenly shine above:
Aro You Prepared? •
To see any such advertisement appear
in the sky would be decidedly startling,
and it is well to be warned. An English
man has succeeded in perfecting an elec
tric apparatus that enables him to cast
luminous letters and figures upon the
clouds, so this warning is by no menus
unnecessary. It is quite possible that
such an advertisement may some day be
seen. It would certainly be a great nov
elty at first, and after awhile could be
j made useful. The portraits of promi
nent men might be given, and already
Mr. Gladstone's face has shown on high.
I But there is also a sad thought in con
nection with it, for a report further
sayß that on clear nights, when there
. are no clouds, the inventor lias found a
way to manufacture artificial ones. The
j moonlight is often very desirable for
straw rides or sleighing, and it would
j be very sad indeed to have a moonlight
party broken up by an artificial cloud
shutting out the moon, and have a sign
staring down upon you advising you to
i (to to Jones for Shoes! :
This, too, might possibly happen at
some future time, and it is well to be
prepared. But what a shame it would
be to have the skies at night converted
into advertising signboards! And w hat
would poets do in the future if they
couldn't see the "star gemmed heavens,"
etc., and so bo unable to write about
them?— Harper's Young People.
A Mighty Hunter.
When Adolphe Thiers, the petit bour
geois statesman of France, becaino pres
ident of the republic, ho was invited one
autumn to take part in the sports at the
country estate of M. Casiinir-Perier. He
accepted the invitation, and consequent
ly had to appear on the hunting field in
shooting dress and armed with a gun.
M. Casimir-Perier was aware that his
old friend, now the president, knew
nothing whatever about hunting. But
he instructed his gamekeeper to follow
M. Thiers about, and see that, in one way
or another, the great guest of the occa
sion "bagged" more game than any other
person.
The gamekeoper led the president to a
certain spot and said to him: "Your ex
cellency, the game will all be driven
past this place. You have nothing to dc
but remain here, and if you shoot at all
you are bound to kill something."
But the president, to his credit, de
clined this opportunity, and insisted upon
traveling about with the other hunters
except that he never went to the right
place, and never got a shot at all. The
gamekeeper was in despair. The dis
tinguished guest kept him hopping about
from place to place, but always out of
range of the game.
Nevertheless, by collusion with others,
the gamekeeper so managed it that when
the day's sport was over M. Thiers, who
had not discharged his gun all day,
found a large lot of game at his feet,
which was declared to be his "bag."
"This mine?" said the president in as
tonishment.
"Certainly, your excellency."
The president looked up with a twinkle
in his eye.
"Ah, I see," he said. "I never shot
anything before I became president, so
I suppose this was killed by the office,
not by the man!"— Youth's Companion.
A Mooting In the Street.
"I had a very embarrassing ad venture
in Chicago during the Democratic con
vention," said John W. Phelps. "I was
coming down State street in a pouring
rain and with my umbrella held before
rather than above me. I turned a cor
ner suddenly and ran square against a
little man who was making tracks in the
opposite direction. My new silk um
brella was ruined by the collision, and
the little man's tall tile went rolling into
the gutter and began to float down
stream. He lost his temper and gave
me to understand that I was very far
from being the wisest man on earth. In
short, he told me very pointedly that I
was a fool. I was in no very good humor
myself, and when that dapper little dude
jumped onto me I used language that
would not adorn a Sunday school book.
'Pick up my hat, sir,' ho commanded in
piping tones as ho danced about in the
storm.
"That was the last straw. I stood my
shattered umbrella up in a doorway and
advanced on the enemy. 'What, sirl
would you strike a woman?' the little fel
low piped out. Then I tumbled. It was
Dr. Mary Walker. I fished her silk tile
out of the gutter, handed it to her with
my best bow, murmured a lame apology
and took a sneak."—St. Louis Globe-
Democrat.
The Luiigtutge of o Dog'a Tall.
Owing to some inosculation of the
nervous mechanism, which at present
we cannot unravel, the association of
pleasure and wagging Ims become so in
separable that the movement of a dog's
tail follows the emotion, whatever may
I call it forth.
An explanation of a similar kind can
: be found for the fact that dogs depress
their tails when threatened or scolded,
i When running away the tail would be
; the part nearest the pursuer, and there-
I fore most likely to he seized. It was
| therefore securely tucked away between
the hind legs. The act of running away
is naturally closely associated with the
emotion of fear, and therefore this ges
ture of putting the tail between the legs
becomes an invariable concomitant of
retreat or submission in the presence of
j superior force.—Dr. Louis Robinson in
1 Popular Science Monthly.
