The effort of Senator Carlisle , ad-
mltcdly the ablest of the democratic
leaders , to acfontl the position of his
party regarding the tariff will hardly
bo used by the democratic national com
mittee us a campaign document. It is
far too vulnerable for such a service ,
and yet it is not to bo expected that any
other democrat will present nn urqu-
mont oven as good as that of the Ken
tucky senator in support of the demo
cratic contention that protection is a
fraud and n , robbery.
Senator Carllslo was one of the sub
committee of the finance committee of
the samite which Investigated the
course of prices nnd wages during a
period of twenty-eight months before
nnd after the passage of the tariff act
of 1800. He signed the report setting
forth the results of that Investigation ,
thoioby endorsing its accuracy. But in
his speech in the senate last week Air.
Carlisle endeavored to impeach the con
clusions drawn by Senator Aldrich from
the facts obtained by the investigation ,
nnd in ordnr to do this ho used a method
of calculation so obviously misleading as
to groully detract from his reputation
for candor and fairness. Senator Al
drich had shown that the decline in the
cost of living and the advance in wages
during the period covered by the investi
gation had resulted In an aggregate
saving to the IH.000,000 families of the
United States of $ ; 123,000,000 for ouch
year. No ono who will honestly study
the figures as a whole can doubt the
fairness of this statement , but there
wore some months durinjr the period be
tween October ! 1889 , mid Soplombor ,
1891 , when prices were higher than ut
the former period , and talcing those
prices us a basis of calculation Senator
Carlisle reached the preposterous conclu
sion Unit the aggregate increased cost
of living to the people of the United
States hul boon for the period investi
gated , 8283,000,000.
Thn misleading character of this state
ment was fully und conclusively exposed
by Senator Hiscock of Now York , who ,
by a most comprehensive analysis of the
tables compiled by the finance commit
tee , demonstrated that there had boon n
not decrease in prices for till articles in
general consumption except foods , und
the latter uro not alTected by the tariff.
Prices in the early months of 1891 wore
distinctly higher than during any period
of the investigation , but this was duo
wholly to the enhanced prices of food
products , with which every intelligent
man knows the tariff had nothing what
ever to do.
The decisive exposure of the false and
misleading calculations of the Kentucky
senator completely dcptroys the effect
his speech was designed to have , nnd
the urgnmenIs ho was expected to fur
nish democratic orators for the cam
paign will not boused. To whom can
the democracy look for a plausible de
fence of their position when such a
leader as Senator Carlisle is utmblo to
provide itV The platitudes of Mr. Cleveland -
land will weigh little against the facts
which conclusively demonstrate that
prevailing conditions are all favorable
to the progress and prosperity of the
country and that the tariff has produced
none of the evils which the democratic
party predicted of it.
TIIK ORKAT lKTfKn-n'niTiit.
Writing to a southern journalist who
has lately come ever to his side , having
boon on the side of Tammany , Grover
Clnvolnnd says : "Honestly , it seems tome
mo the 'democrats who are not at this
time loyal to the cause are recreant to
their country. "
To bo riicroanc to his country a man
must bo false or traitorous. Mr. Cleve
land makes no distinction between those1
who withhold their support from the
democratic nominee upon principle and
those who do so for unworthy purposes.
They are all recreant to their country
in the sumo degree , according to his
view of the case. This will strike most
people as a very narrow and superficial
view of the duty of the citizen. Such
sentiments are to bo expected from
cheap politicians and whippors-in , but a
presidential candidate ought , 10 bo above
them. The fact time Mr. Cleveland
protests his honesty in making this
declaration will not raise him in public
estimation. Most men profess to , bo
honost-whon they are pleading their own
cause. 'If it is his honest belief that a
democrat has no ricrht to differ from him
in opinion us to his duly as a citizen ,
and that to so differ is to prove recreant
to his country , ho simply denies the
riqrht of individual democrats to follow
the dictates of their own consciences or
to act in the light of what they may
doom reason and common sense. Of
course , such an utterance imputes , by
implication , the grossest dishonesty to
republicans , and the presidential candi
date who makes such an Imputation
uirainst moro than ono-half of the citi
zens of the United States proves himself
n narrow partisan , if not tiomothing
worso. So prolific a , letter-writer us
Mr. Cleveland should have raoro discre
tion than ho possesses.
DKMDCttATIO
The suprun'o courts of Wisconsfn and
Michigan huvo declared the gerryman
der of leuislntivo districts in those
states , mu.de by democratic legislature ? ,
unconstitutional. Both of the great
parties have boon guilty of adopting tliis
method of obtaining an unfair partisan
advantage , hut in all the history of the
gerrymander , since it wan 11 rot employed
in Miistfuchtiiotts sovonty-oight years
ago , the deinocrafic party lias com
mitted the most flagrant abuses under
It , as the examples In Wisconsin and
Michigan amply attest. While that
parly continually boata of Us profound
respect for constitutional requirements ,
it htm never hesitated to promote parti
san advantage by the mew' , reckless use
of the gerrymander. It has done it in
Ohio and it did It In Now York , stealing
the aentito of the latter eltito for the
purpose. The republicans of Nuw York
are contesting the democratic gerry
mander in that state on preoiboly the
sumo grounds that similar laws have
boon declared null and void iu Wiscon
sin and Michigan , and if the supreme
court of Now York la us honest us the
courts of those Btr.tos it will render u
like decision.
Thefco clrcumt.tr.ncua ngiiin call public
attention to the dangerous character of
the gerrymander us affecting fho right ?
of the people. In his last annual ir.os-
bngo President Harrison characterized
it us n form of political robbery. Chief
Justice Morse of the Michigan supreme
court said that "the time has arrived for
plain spoaktnir In relation to the out
rageous practice of gerrymandering ,
which hjis become so common nnd has
BO long boon indulged in without rebuke
that It threatens not only the peace of
ths people , but the permanency of our
free institutions. " A justice of the same
court doolared in reference to this mat
ter that the greatest danger to the re
public is not from ignorance , but from
machinations to defeat the expressions
of the popular will. The utterly lawless
application of the gerrymander In Wis
consin nnd Michigan , nnd there is
reason to believe in Now York also ,
shows to what extronns ( the democratic
party is capable of going In order to re
tain power. It it would disregard the
constitution in the statesnumod it would
not hcsitnto to do so in every state to
keep its grasp upon power.

Onr emotional contomporiry , the
World-Hcruld , says that the fact that
the strikers at Homestead feel sanguine
of success "does not rolloct very much
credit on their intolligonco. " It puts
their case in tills way :

crow ) Ooi)3 It nialto thorn sangulna to Itao.v
that some of tholr number are to bo tried for

ns they must , that labor almost Invariably
( rots the worst of it iu a war with capital }
Or to coma fitco to fauo with the fact that
this government Is run in tno interests of
concerns like the Hoadlnp coal ucmhlno and
the OarnOifio company } 1C they nro sangulno
in thn fuco ot those foots they must huvo
meat that wo know not of.
Tliis is a fair specimen of tho'inco
herent nnd confusing uhllogophy which
the Worhl-JIcmld has brought to boar
upon this question from the first. That
paper has no fixed views upon the rela
tions oxlstinjj between the owners of the
mills and the strikers but is inllucncod
from day to day by its-emotions A f iw
days ago it thought that the strikers
were doing a heroic and defensible thing
when they forcibly denied the right of
the owners of the Homestead property
to control their own promises and pre
vent mobs from trespassing thereon ;
nut now it holds the btrlkers up to con
tempt for being so fatuous ns to hope for
a hiiccossful issue.
Wo have before called attention to the
responsibility of such newspapers for
the troubles at Homestead. Such utter
ances as the above , containing us they
do the sting of taunt , are calculated to
do harm and cannot possibly do good.
The statement that "the sympathy of a
great majority of the people in this
couutry is with Carnegie and his crow"
is untrue , and it is absurdly inconsistent
with the previous statements of the
simo : paper. Equally untrue , and oven
raoro foolish , is the statement that this
government is run in the interests ot
concerns like the Reading coal combine
and the Curnegio company. The intel
ligent reader will not require u refuta
tion of such silly allegations ns those.
Nothing but harm can come of such
utterances. When the workingmen are
in .1 state bordering upon desperation it
is unsafe to taunt them with folly and
failure. If the event shall prove that
the Homestead strike is a failure the
men who have encaged in it with honest
purpose , the men who have withhold
their hands from violence and sought
only a peaceable achievement of their
ends will receive public sympathy.
No friend of the laboring mnn will fling
his failure In his face and toll him that
tlio hope which ho cherished did not
rolled credit upon his Intelligence.

Tlio bill introduced in the house of
representatives some time ago to com
pel all railroad companies in the United
States to equip their cur ? with auto
matic couplers and tholr freight engines
with driving wheel brakes now appears
to have no prospect of mooting with
favorable action ut the present session
of congress , and it is intimated that
oven if it is brought up again next winter -
tor it may bo killed in the somite.
The object of this bill is simply and
solely the protection of the lives and
limbs of railroad trainmen. The num
ber of railroad employes killed und
maimed under the present eystem every
year is appalling. It is believed by
those who have m tdo a special study of
the matter that hundredsof lives would
bo saved annually by the adoption of the
now system proposed in this bill , and
there Is a strong demand throughout
the country for such a , law. Of course-
the railroad compinlos oppose it , cov
ertly , nt least , if they da-o not do so
openly , and It Kstatod upon what seems
to bo good authority that the companies
inivo friends enough In the senate to defeat -
feat it.
The opposition to the bill ib based
upon tlio plea that it would entail onor-
ormous expense upon the railroad cor
porations. But the terms of the bill make
liberal provision. too liberal , wo think ,
considering the precious human lives in
volved as to the time to bo allowed the
companies for the change from the old
system to the now. Several years are
given for the equipment of the old cars ,
a length of time suflloiont for Uio wear
ing out , of the present mankillintr outfit ,
and only the cars bui t after the miact-
mont of the law are to bo Immediately
provided with the now couplers. It is
to bo regretted that u measure so im
portant c.uinot bocomn u law at once ,
mid it Is still more to DO regretted Unit
there are InlliiQnc-'rt ut work In the don
ate which may prove fatal to it.
TiiKiiit it * a very general feeling that
next year ought to bo ono of exceptional
progress and prosperity for Oniuhu.
Nebraska will have great crops and the
production in all the contiguous coun
try will lie largu The agricultural
communities in tlio territory tributary
to this city are assured a uonorous
iroiBiiroof prosperity. This means , of
jjoursu , an increased demand for the pro
ducts of the mill' ' und factory , n larger
movement of ! { $ merchandise of the
manufacturer / nd niorohitnt. Omaha
enterprises will'1 ' undoubtedly realize the
good effeels of't'hjLN ' added prosperity and
It Is ro.isonublyiAotbo expected will ox-
p.tnd tholr operations. But there should
bo more than lift's,1reallod. , . There will
ho room and opportunity for moro in
dustries and it'U'Hot ' to be doubted that
It the proper offorl bo mudo they cun bo
secured. An5arly movement In this
direction is to bo'jioslroil , Omaha must
push Us claimsto , , consideration if it
would hold its place In the race with
would-bo rivals.
A \VISTIUN democratic journal says
that the price of anthracite coal has
boon advanced $1 a ton by the wicked
tariff trust , and that "millions of dollars
will be a.ivod to consumers by tariff re
form and free coal. " There Is no duty
on utithriictto coal , and the complaint ,
therefore , takes its place with hun
dreds of other exploded democratic
campaign torpedoes. Those who are
In the habit of reading * the free trade
newspapers often encounter such ab
surd jtrgumonts against the republican
protective policy. No man who sin
cerely desires to know the truth in re
gard to protection and its fruits will
place any dependence upon tho.demo
cratic press.
TIIK intelligence that the Chicago
Great Western railway has practically
decided to carry out the plan , contem
plated for moro than a year past , of ex
tending the system by building a line to
Omaha , It is to bo hoped is well founded.
It appears that this is ono of the fruits
of the Nebraska Central project , it
being understood that it is the purpose
of the Great-Western to use the termi
nal facilities of the former company.
The consummation of 'his project
would bo a material benefit to Omaha.
Tin : temperature is a little hiffh yet
to admit of the serious consideration of
practical measures for increasing the
Industrial enterprises of Omaha , but
the matter ought to receive attention nt
an early day. There must bo a very
earnest and energetic effort made in
this direction the present year so that
next year , which ought to bo the most
prosperous in our history , shall show
the desired results.
the frcoilom of the city is
a form of compliment which has the
authority of antiquity , but which in
these modern days htis lost much of its
old meaning. None tlio loss the council ,
in voting to give the freedom of the city
to the Masonic visitors , did a very
proper thing , and the citizens will sup
plement it by 'giving the Shrlners and
knights hearty welcome and hospitable
entertainment. ,
Tun mortality * record ot Omaha for
July was larger than usual , duo to the

"Mil. PHESIDKXT , LM > IIS : jixn GKxrr.cMnx :
I accepted with pleasure the Invitation of
your committee to bo present nt the dedica
tion of the hall to the Wnttorsou club. For
this kind remembrance I am profoundly
gratolul. The hoar.y greeting accorded mo
by this audience ns well ns the courteous
terms in which you , sir , have boon pleased
to present mo have touched me doopiy.
"Amongst thojo who nave welcomed tno to
this metropolis , 1 racogulzo gentlemen with
whom It has been my good fortune to bo as
sociated In the public sorvico. Men , whoso
lofty devotion topiinciple.iio loss than whoso
eloquence , has rondoroa thorn lit successors
to Clay and Crll tendon , and tholr illustrious
compeers.
"I too , am a Kontuckinn. The years that
have passed since my footsteps were turned
toward thn mngnillcont state which strutchos
northward to the lanes , hnvo not weakened
the cords which bind mo to the old common
wealth. The memory of our pioneer nuccs-
try , of the privations and sufferings endured ,
ot Iho obstnclus ovorcomn. of the perils en
countered by the glorious men nnd woman
who made possible what our oyps now bn.
hold is the heritage of nil Ke'ntnckiuns. 1
glory with you In the history and in the tra
ditions which fora hundred years have made
Kentucky so potent a constituent in our fed
eral union.

"It Is my pleasing task tonight , Mr. Presi
dent , to remind you that Illinois hasn't ' hoon
unmindful of her obligation to her sUtor
state , separated by the Ohio , but united by
ancestral ties nnd the memories of common
dangers. Moro thaa sixty yoirs ngo , wbllo
there yat survived within her borders heroes
of the Thames , of Tlppecanoo and of the
Raisin , Illinois honored herself bv ' giving to
n splendid county the nnino of Joo'Davles in
commemoration of her gratitude to the law
yer , the eloquent advocate tiud warrior , ns
knightly ns over Kentucky sent forth to
death on the Hold of battle.
"In the beautiful cemetery nonr the capi
tal city of this commonwealth , whore sloop
so many of her illustrious dead , stands a
monument Imposing , erected by grateful
people , to tbo homes who fell ut Buena Vista.
Inscribed upon that monument , vith the
names of McKee and of Clay , is thut of an
illustrious Illinoiban Inwor , the peerless
soldier , John J. Hardln. Of the many ciftad
sons givun by this commonwealth to Illinois
in the curly davs of Its history I may men
tion Udwards , Coolt , Start , Logan , Brown
ing. Dickey , Wallcer , McClcrnaud , Yutos ,
Owlosuy and Palmer , mun who all along the
pnlhwav of our history have proved such
potent factors in molding Its institutions
and in the upbuilding of the state.

"But this is not oil. Illinois is debtor to
Kentucky for 0110 moro Illustrious than
those whom I have named. Great as a law
yer , with marvelous power ns an advocate ,
the peorof the mightiest In debate , wise as
great occasions demanded wisdom , the fnmo
of Abraham Lincoln is not conllned to the
state of bisblrtb , nor his adoption , but is tlio
heritage of all peoplo.
"Mr. President , th's Is a masterful hour in
the history of thU metropolis and of this
commonwealth. Tonight you formally dedi
cate the Wattorson clue houso. This mag-
nillcent audience has assembled to witness
no idle curomony. Who can forecast how
far reaching in its coiibcauencea may bo the
work of this hour.
"Tho club whoso guest I am tonight has
honored itself by adopting n , name well
known in all of the states or this union.
Wherever in this broad land , men of brains ,
men who have the couraco of tholr convic
tions , wanly men , the loaders of inoii , are
known and honored , Wnttorson j n houio-
