ihased in reasonably large quantities , are
nintal much cheaper than they can be
jought in small quantities without printing.

Tho text will bo found Ir.Uie latter clai 60 I
of thelSth rersoof XXVIth clmptcr of Isaiah. \
• • We huvo been In pain , wo Imvo as It wore \
brought forth wind ; wc havo not wrought |
any deliverance In the earth ; neither havo tho ij j
Inhabitants of the world fallen. "
The renowned author of this text lived about J
712 years before Christ , and us regards proph
ets , he was oue or tho big four. Ho proph- fl'l '
esledofthefnllof Babylon , of the overthrow fjj |
of Tyre , the Judgments against .K'rusalom , 131
the coming of the Messiah und or the call of tho | f |
Gentiles. Ho speaks of the "confederacy" In ijij
'
the 12th verse orVIIIth , chapter and says to lj'1
the loyal people , "Xelther fear , yo their fear m\
nor be afraid. " Ho speaks or Cleveland In | | j
XIX 8th : "The Ushers also shall mourn , anjl li ]
all they thut east auglo Into the brooks shall 'W\ \
lament. " "They shall turn up salt river far \ ij I
away and tho brooks of defence shall bo emp- < | j I
tied anddried ; up ; the reeds and rebel ilacs shall i I
wither. " Without naming time or place ho [ wj
Bpeaks to some one in this wise : "Open ye tho PI
gates , that the righteous which keepeth tho II
truth 1'iay enter in. " Itls fair to supposo that II
his prophetic mind and eye was upon Gen. \ I
Harrison , who stands for protection to tho | 1
American people ; that being largely tho nils- i I
sion of the republican party of which ho is tho f I
leader. Cleveland has been thu dictator and ; I
louder of tho democratic party for three aud } I
a half years ; he went Into power with a great k I
tlourlsh of trumpets , and u multitude of terrl- 11
bio ones like as the sands of the sea ; reform 11
uud surplus reduction weru tho burden of their 11
conversation ; "but they have not wrought I I
any deliverance , they have only brought forth 1
wiud. " In thu meanwhile the world has not i I
fallen. Yet this people desire protection , but 31
expect none from the party In power ; and 1 I
therefore propose to make a cliumic this fall , j I
to the end that the sovereigns shall have pro- J I
tection ; protection to the Industries of the I I
people by a tariff properly adjusted ; protee- | 1
tiou to the civil rights of thu people , by seeur- I 1
ing a free ballot uud an honest count to every [ I
lawful voter ; protection to the basis of tho f I
churacter of the peoulo by tho general ediicu- I
tiou of children ; protection to tho govern- I
inunt of the tieople by promoting the reform I
of the civil service , itud protection of the ' I
homes of the people by the due restriction of I
vice and intemperance. There was n party in I
power iu the laud , the low tarllf or free trade I
party of , ! J2 to , CO when pork wus worth SI-CO M
per hundred , muslin prints I55 cents per yard , I
common Iabor : > 7i ! cents per day and whisky
i" cents per gallon. The passage of the Mills I
bill would sooi bring about the same result. I
It nun Id hcem that this party had returned to I
power to punish loyalty and patriotism , and M
to reward treason and rebellion. Hear tliem I
soliloquizing : We huve appointed rebels to I
the best und most important foreign missions.
and thu people complain ; Ave have removed
from the civil service , thousands of the maim- I

preme bench , and the loyal people objeet. We H

they huve made a feeble imitation of republi H

which the whole democratic party can stand.
By tinkering with the tariff which it would fl

accumulated a large surplus. Democracy H
said put us in power , we will take the tax bur- ' M
Ien off the people , we will reduce the surplus. H

iresident goes to tiie country , is simply to M
; eep the duties on what we grow und take M

rith our products. And this is the way he M
