TIIK rAMI'AWfl
The campaign in low.i has not yet ac
tively ononod. The parties have made
their noinlnatlons'nnd the political com
mittees aio preparing to get down to
solid worn , but the vigorous , iiggressivu
.business . of the campaign is to coma.
The promise Is that when It is entered
upon it will bo one of the most animated
and spirited in the history of the stato.
The republicans ivrti getting ready to
push the fighting at every point and
they nro well equipped to carry on a
cainp'ilgn that will keep the opposition
vary busy from the opening to the finish.
The presnnt aspect of the situation is
highly encouraging to the republicans.
The democracy is not harmonious.
There are factional dllToroncos which It
may not be easy to settle. The state
convention created disappointments that
are deep rooted. Sjme of these are
merely personal , while these of a more
serious character rolnto to the general
composition of the ticket. The element
01faction of the party which succeeded
in bairging most of the prizes was by no
.moans . judicious in its selections. Taken
as u whole the ticket is weak , and tlioro
Is every reason to expect that it will not
poll the natural strength of the party.
As to the people's party , tlioro are no
indications that it is likely to gain in
strength or to prove anything near as
formidable as has boon apprehended.
The more carefully the Intelligent
farmers and workingmen of Iowa , as of
ether states , consider the doctrines and
principles of the now party the more
certain Is it that many of them who
have itluntUIud themselves with it will
renounce that connection before election
day and return to tholr former nolitlcal
allegiance. Tills is already taking place
in several states , and a rapid disintegra
tion of the people's party in the west
may safely bo predicted. So far as the
prohibition party iu lown is concerned ,
it will cut a very small figure. Four
years ago it cast 3,550 votes and it will
hardly do bolter than this the present
year.
The republicans of low.v are , there
fore , favored by both local and national
conditions. Tholr candidates are mnn
of ability and character , who have the
confidence of the party and the respect
of all good citizens. They are united
nnd harmonious , having no factional
differences or disappointment } ! to over
come. The generally prosperous condi
tion of the people is an allsuHlcicnt
answer to the theories of the free
traders and the assertions of the calam
ity howlers. Every industrious and
thrifty farmer and mechanic in the state
knows from practical oxpoi'ionce that
the present tariff law has worked no
injury to his interests , and ho knows
also , if ho has given the matter thought
ful investigation , that the producer and
the laborer would suffer first and most
severely from the operation of the wild
financial schemes of the people's party.
With intelligent , thinking men of these
classes very little nrpumant is needed to
convince them that Jho policy and prin
ciples of the republican party , vindi
cated as they are by the magnificent
results of the past thirty years , are still
necessary to the material progress and
prosperity of the nation.
The republicans of Iowa have every
reason to bo hopeful and confident. With
an energetic and aggressive campaign
they ought to win an old-timo victory.
.iiV OIIJECT
There are building in Jamestown , N. V.
a city whoso manufacturing industries
have largely increased since the present
tariff law wont into effect , faqtorios for
the manufacture of silk plushos , astra-
chans , rugs , shawls and worsteds. Tills
plant is being constructed by the Eng
lish firm of Henry Listor & Son , doubtless -
loss well known to moat American
dealers in the ubovo named goods ,
which for nearly half a century have
been manufacturing in Huddorsfiold and
Horbury , Engliind. The firm some time
ago decided to close up their factories
abroad , where they employed 1,200 oper
atives , and remove their business to the
United States. The construction of the
factories at Jamestown is the outcome
of this decision.
The Mclvinloy tariff is responsible for
this transplanting of an important in
dustry from England to America. Mr.
Henry R. Listor states that his father
and himself were led to take this course
because under the present tarilT they
hai1 nc.irly lost the American market ,
which gave them about 00 per con t of
their business. Until two years ago
they had a trade in thib country of
nearly a million dollars a yo ir , but when
the present tariff lav went into effect
their business was paralysed. Ordnrs
from the United States wore cancelled ,
and to quote Mr. Listor , "Tho value of
our stock went down nn > l downunlil the
stuff was hardly worth anythlntr. "
The firm suffered a heavy loss from
this depreciation , but continued to do
business , "honing that the bill would
bo repealed and that wts could again ot
control of the American market. " The
situation , however , kept growing worse
and it W.IH finally decided to coino to the
United States in order to make euro of
the American market. Thn firm will
not start business hero with as many
operatives as they employed in England
in the period of their prosperity , but
they expect ultimately to rationally
increase tholr plant and glvo employ
ment to at least 2,000 people , who will
bo paid bolter wages than like opera
tives in England. Mr. Llsto'1 said
tlioro was no reason why they could not
manufacture thalr goods as successfully
in this country as in England , and hero
they had the best markut in the world ,
which Is steadily improving. "Tho
population Is not only liuinonso"axid : Mr.
Listor , "but the per capita consumption
is greater than in any ether country ,
which is accounted for by the fact that
the American working und middle
classes nro more prosperous than anywhere -
where else and buy more freely , while
In England , I am sorry to say , the buyIng -
Ing capacity of the musses in seriously
decreasing1. " Mr , Listor said it would
bo impossible for American nrmu
fun hirers to pay the wages prevailing
in this country and compute with
English manufacturers without the pro
tection which the tariff gives.

gestive object lessen as to lite effect ol

to conclude that It does not stand

Improbable Unit a number of British
manufacturers are contemplating the
course tticen by Lister & Son in case the
American people next November de
mand by tholr verdict at the polls a con
tinuance of the policy of protection.
They are hoping , as Ltstor & Son did ,
for the repeal of the Mclvinloy law , and
should they find that the people of this
country do not desire Us repeal it Is not
to bo doubted that many of thorn will
make UiiHte to avail themselves of the
benefits of the American system of pro
tection and put themselves In connection

G ever Cleveland professes to bo
deeply devoted to the interests of the
workingman. The democratic party
never has lost an opportunity to declare
Us love for the toller. Yet that most
devoted mid servile admirer of Cleveland -
land , free trade and the democratic
party , the illustrated journal called
Puck , delivers itself of this editorial
utterance : "Thoro has boon too much
nonsensical coddling of the honest
workingman. lie seems to have got a
notion that there is something holy
about him because ho works with his
h'ands. This rubbish ought to bo
knocked out of him. "
Wo do not believe that the workingmen -
mon of this country regard themselves
us holy because they work with tholr
hands , nor does their general conduct
indicate that they need to have any
rubbish knocked out of thorn. As a
class they are minding their own busi
ness , earning their wages honestly and
contributing by their Industry to the
prosperity and wealth of the country at
Inrco. They will naturally resent such
a characterization as that quoted above
from one of Cleveland's most valued
organs. _
UAIXSI 'IJIK SCOUHOH.
It is not easy for the American people
to appreciate the state of terror into
which the inhabitants of Russia have
boon thrown by the spread of the awful
cholera scourpo which is now claiming
thousands of victims every day in that
unfortunate country. Each day be
tween 8,000 and 10,000 now casos.aro re
ported and the number of deaths daily
is between 8,000 and -J,000. The disease
has obtained a foothold in a very largo
oxlcnt of territory and the people are so
poorly prepared to cope with it that its
progress is not likely to bo checked
until the advent of cool weather. To
add to the horror of the situation mobs
of ignorant and superstitious psoplo
have attacked the hospitals and mur
dered the doctors and nurses in largo
numbers upon the susoicion that they
wore responsible for the death of pa
tients placed under their caro. The
whole of the infected region is in a fer
ment of excitement and the situation is
appalling in the extreme.
In view of the prevalence of this dread
disease in Europe the action of the
Uniled Slates authorilieS to mako'suro
of its exclusion from this country seoma
fully justified. The supervising surgeon -
goon general of the marine hospital
service , with the aoproval of the nct'ng '
socrolary of the troabury , hits issued a
circular letter of instructions to all col
lectors of customs , medical ollicors of the
United States marine hospital service ,
agents of foreign steamship lines , local
quarantine officers und others , directing
that after September 18 no vessel hav
ing on board personal baggage , bedding ,
clothing , etc. , belonging to immigrants
from Russia or any cholera infected dis
trict of Europe shall bo admitted to
entry into the United States unless ac
companied by a satisfactory certificate
from the consular officer at the port of
embarkation.
In 1873 cholera was introduced into
the United States by means of immi
grants' baggage. It raged in tills coun
try with terrible offeut and claimed.
thou ° ands of victims. It is hoped that
the measures that have now boon taken
to prevent a repetition of ' .ho scourge
hero will prove effective.

Tills was a line tribute to Mr. Raid.

that ho is worthy of confidence.
ATTENTION Is directed to ttio fact that
the date of the Republican State league
mooting has boon changed from August
21 to August 31 , the date of the national
league meeting having boon changed to

league mooting can now take advantage

Ran the practice of law thirty years there
after.
Andrew H. Burito , the ronommatod repub
lican candidate forthoBdvoruorshlpof North
Dakota , started life ns a Now York news
boy. Ho Is not the only uov who 1ms fallen
from grace through handling Now York
papers.
llonry Pottltt , tun noloJ English pluv-
wright , once wugoivd n man that ho would
In sovun days write , rehearse and produce n
play which would take an Hour to act. Ho
not only achieved tills , but thu play was a
distinct success.
Charles T. Ualdwoll , the nominee of the
republican party for congress in the four
teenth district of West Virginia , is a lawyer ,
n proajher and n farmer. As Mr. Caldwell
has been successful in three important callIngs -
Ings , bo will doubtless make u good member
of congress.
F. Nicholas Crouch , the author of "Kath
leen Mavournocn , " celebrated the cigbty-
fourth anniversary of Uls birth at Portland ,
Mo. , on Tuosdav , August 2. A rccoution was
given in his honor by friends , who had the
pleasure of hearing him sing the charming
ballad ngnin.
When Thomas A. Edlsou was a poor , bare
footed bovsays n visitor In St. Louis , ho
lived in FortGratiot , Mich. Ho rigged up a
telegraph line from his own house to a play-
malo's , xvho\vsis not very skilful In receiving
messages , nnd would therefore coiuo out of
doors to finish ttio conversation verbally.
This was such n reflection on the younc
genius and his apparatus that ho would re
sent It vigorously.
Sometimes it is worth while to pity the
sorrows of ttio poor old ox-millionnlro. The
creditors of thu Spruguo oUato get , all told ,
U7 per cent on nil ostaio appraised at f ,000- ,
000. ' Ex-Governor William Spraeuo is now
u town constable nnd Aniasu Sprague is
sheriff ot Kent county. Ithodo Island. Only
n few years ago the Spraguos were the only
really great men In their state and their
wealth appeared boundless.
The late Conrad Jordan of Salisbury , Mil. ,
was mi oye-witnoss of snmo of the great
events of the hrst Napoleon's time. As a
lad of S voars ho sow part ot tno historic
battle of Lcipsic , and u few years later beheld -
hold the "Littlo Corporal" riding at the head
of bis army to Waterloo. Ho was the sou
of Marshal Jordan , who with Joseph Bona
parte commanded the French forces and
their allies at the battle of Vittoria.
John C. KQO , the most distinguished of the
American exiles in Canada , lives comfortably
in Quebec in a hand so mo brownsiono house
and is frequently soon in society. Hois said
to bo the life of the luxurious Union club ,
which owes its existence In great part to his
efforts , nnd is popular and contented. Ho
has grown stout in recent voars and now
weighs ovnr : JOO pounds , while his fuco is
ruddv and there is every phvslcal evidence
tout existence Is agreoublo with him.
Glebe Democrat : Mr. Hold is not an ideal
political orator , but he presents familiar
truths in a plain nnd pleasing manner , which
11 moro than his competitor is capable of
doing.
Philadelphia1 Ledger : Mr Whitolaw Uoid
is quoted-us suyiug : "Wo must keep oown
this feeling of overcoufldonco which ropub-
licausarc manifesting , vVu have got a hard
light on hand. out. will certainly win. " Par
adoxical ns this sounds , it fairly' expresses
the situatiou for either rcuubllcaiiH o demo
crats. They must be sure of winning in
order to licop up their enthusiasm , but they
must not be overconlident , lest that should
nrnUo thorn careless about bringing out tha
vote.
Washington Post : The speech of Mr.
Whitolaw Hold at Springfield , 111. , was a
very good speech , considered from a repub
lican standpoint. In comparatively briel
spuco bo covered pretty much the whole
Held of discussion uud did it with clearness
nnd force. The ofTori. give. * evidence of Mr.
Hold's newspaper training. An editor Is so
civen to condensation that ho can usually
say in hulf un hour what many a professional
stump speaker would paw the nlr over for
two hours und then not mure than hulf say.
Yet , when It comes to "whooping up the
boys , " the man with the stentorian voice
und windmill oratory usually discounts
"them literary fellers. "
Chicago Mall ( ilom : ) Whitolaw Ucid's
speech nt Springtlold yoiterday vus a mas
terly effort. It was strong , logical , concise ,
and'was soaionod at times with s irc.ism us
well ns argument , humor as well us political
sentiment , und Introduced him to the people
of Illinois in a now attitude that of a lui-
ished orator. Great editors ar.i seldom great
speakers , but Mr. Held showed hU ability in
ono Held to bo quito us decided us it is in the
othor. Possibly ho owes this latter gift , of
his llf'J to his thrco yearn' rosiacnco in the
brilliant French capital and to the polish his
wits were given by the attrition obtained
in Parisian club und social life ; but If so wo
must remember that such contact only re
sults favorably" on minds of native brilliancy ,
which certainly bo shows that ho possesses.
Of the matter of bis speech much might bo
said. He showed rare wisdom In speaking
to the people today about today's Issues unil
today's needs of politics and the poonlo. In
this ho showed the wisdom of the statesmen
and ignored the tricks of the demagogue.

Secretary Foster rolurnod from Ohio lust
night. Ho was too tired to talk until this
morning and said that ho Knruv very little
about Ohio politics as n result of his visit.
"Thoro can bo only ono result , " ho said.
"Wo may have trouble in ono or two dis
tricts , but everything seems all right other
wise. "
Tun Huts correspondent dlraotod the secre
tary's attention to mi article published in
the Philadelphia Lodger predicting n ? 40-
000,000 dollclt this year. The secretary
looltod over It unil plcnod Its statements to
pieces.
"Here , " ho said , "It states that for the
first time wo have extended n small loan
because wo nro not able to pay It.
Why all our extensions of bond's
have boon because the government has not
had the money to pay thorn. Now as to the
suspension of payments for the sinking-
funds : This statement says time thU sus
pension Is the llrst since the war. Thut is
absolutely untruo. The requirements of the
sluicing fund acts were not fully mot
In 18T4 , 1S75 , 1870 , 1877 and 1871) . In the
last II seal vuar wo applied $ . ' 17.571,000 to
the sinking fund. Tho"ruvonuo for the last
your was SS.TJ.OOO.UOO , the expenditures
$345,000,000. The excess of revenue In the
previous year was SP > , S:13,000 : , making a total
excess for the two voars of $10,000,000 not
withstanding the "billion" congress.
Whurn thu DllVorcnun Kxlsts.
"It Is not appropriations that govern , but
expenditures. These expenditures under
the appropriations for buildings , ohip * und
ether objects of u permanent nature ox to nil
over a series of years. The revenues for the
present fiscal year should bo considerably in
excess of these of last your , probably $20-
000,000. In my last report 1 estimated n
surplus for 18H ! of morn than $1-1,000,000.
Kvorythlng scorns to Indicate that that
estimate will bo fully mot.
"Now , us to the sinking fund , there is
really no such thing ns a sinking fund. It is
only a name. Wo buy bortds and cancel them.
There Is no fund maintained. The ttniilng
fund net wa. < passed in 1SIU for the purpose
of strengthening our credit. 1'or seven voars
from 1SI5J to 1809 it was not putinto 'effect
at all. Since that , time and up to
tno present day wo have rmiueod
the debt several hundred millions
in excess of the requirements of the law.
But the sinking fund today is not n neces
sity. Our credit Is better'than that of any
ether nation ot. the globe. If wo attempted
to buy these bonds wo would have to "pay
them u largo premium and the bondholders
would rather keep them until they mature.
"As to the surplus which Mrl Cleveland
left In the treasury , President Harrison has
retired during his term $ 59,000,000 of bonds
nt n cost of SJ9I5,003,000. They would have
cost $ ) . " ) ! ,000,000 at maturity nnd doing so ho
has saved the government W5,000,000
besides reducing the interest charge
811,000.000. Mr. Cleveland In his
whole fouryenrs' term purchased onlv $3 < V3-
000,000 bonds and paid the government only
KU.000,000 on the purchase. As to the ? 54-
000,000 fund for tbo redemption of national
bank notes that money was lying Idle here
until rongross gave us permission to put It
in circulation where it was needed. "
I're lil nt llurrUiin'H I.utter.
There have boon many false reports pub
lished in the last two weelis about the pres
ident's letter of acceptance , and the news
paper correspondents of Washington huvo
been on the qui vivo for it during all of that
timo. As a matter of fact , the letter Is
not yet ready , and , as already stated
in these dispatches , it will " not bo
ready before the 'J5th lust , next , but the
chances nro the document will bo given to
the public Monday morning next. When it
comoi to the white house from Loon Lake it ,
will ho copied nnd prepared for simultaneous
distribution. The reason tint it will proba
bly bo given to the public Monday morning
is that. the baturday and Sun
day papers are considered poor voh.clcs
of distribution and that the Monday morn
ing paper is so lightly furnished with news
that any news matter of impartiinca fur
nished It has little to compote with for pub
lic interest. So it is likely thut Pnvnto Secretary -
rotary Halford will give the letter out for
publication -Sunday anu that it will ho pub
lished Monday morning. P. S. II.

Thcso third party raon will have to go to
some political school before anybody can
uafolv tnke thum for guides. Here for ox-
aniplo la Mr. McCuno , who Is represented as
showing that the third party is to throw thn
election into the housa anil son at o , and thus
secure the election , of Uonoral Field for vice
president. Ho nays : "Tbo president and
vice president cannot both bo from the same-
stato. The Bonato , therefore , cannot
elect -Mr. Hold If ( Jlovuland is chosen iu the
houso. They would tnon be conllnod in their
cholco to Stevenson nnd our man Field , and
they would certainly talto the luttor. " Air.
'McCuno should reread tils copv of the con
stitution. It does not say that the proa Id out
uid vice president cannot bo both from the
bams state , but that ' 'tho electors shall meet
in their respective states and vote by ballot
for president nnd vice president , QUO of
whom , at least , shall not bu an
Inhabitant of iho satno atato with
themselves. " Even under this provision
n president nnd vice president might
bo chn5un from the same btuto. It was In-
toudcd , apparently , to prevent n narty from
nominating both candidate * from ono stato.
Tno house Is not limited us to Its cholco of
president , except that it choosus from the
three highest on the list of th&so votoa for as
president und votes by states ; the sonata
makes its cholco fiotn the two hmhest on the
list , BO , inestimably , General Field would
not bo eligible to he voted for at nil If the
election of vice president should ho thrown
into the senate.
