LKVI P. MORTON,
of New York.
The Omaha Republican bus been and
is, under its present management, doing
pplendid work in discussing the industri
al question.
"We wait with concern and also with
curiosity to see the Journal of this city
hold up its hands and admit that it has
been lying aloutthe lion. Levi P. Mort
on. Mit. IIakuivon's popularity in Indiana
seems to be increasing; at least we judge
so, by the increasing thousands who are
daily calling on him to inform him lie is,
so unpopular.
Mn. Bi.aini: is a very bad dangerous
mam! and very naughty too; to come
home for a visit to the old world and
poke his finger under the democratic
nose and threaten to pull it if the poor
old concern docs'nt stop fighting the
working men of this country. Very bad
man, is Mr. Blaine, and hard to get rid
of.
That whisky bottle so exquisitly drawn
by the world renowned Bluso, is exactly
the shape of the democratic instrument
which carried the late lamented demo
cratic convention at .Louisville. It cer
tainly furnishes an inspiring theme for a
revenue reform artist. A prominent
young democratic organizer was over
heard exclaiming the other evening, as he
gazed through Mr. White's plate glass
window at the campanion of his many
campaigns: "Thou art so near and yet
so far."
Since the Omaha He raid has admitted
the falsehood it published about Levi P,
Morton and the Irish, will the 'Journal
of this city acknowledge that the item it
published charging that Mr. Morton
charged the poor starving Iruh for the
goods and provisions he donated them
was a falsehood i Or does the Journal
wish its readers to consider that the
Morton lie is a fair specimen of its politi
cal news ? There are a number of Irish
men in Plattsmouth who profess some
curiosity as to what the Journal will say
about that matter since The Herald
published the truth of the transaction.
The county convention held at Weep
ing Water yesterday elected delegations
to the state and congressional conven
tions. The state delegation goes instruct
ed for Captain Baird, of Weeping Wat
er, for State Treasu rcr, and a better, more
competent man has not entered the arena
of Nebraska politics to compete for that
office. The congressional delegation
goes uniustructed, there being no candi
date from Cass county. The delegations
chosen are representative men. The
state delegation is in favor of General
Leese, as we are informed, for re election
for Attorney General.
If anyone wanted to hear of a stark
case of free trade lunacy just re?.d the
purported editorial in last evenings Jour
nal, which is in fact a plagerism from
the free trade literature now in circula
tion by the Cobden bureau of America.
John C. Calhoun came very near being
hanged for insisting upon nullification
of the laws of the country because he
claimed that the cotton producing sec
tion of the south had a right to do
with the industial policy of this nation
as it pleased. The man who could pen
the article entitled "A Blot on Civiliza
tion" and then assure his readers that he
and his party arc not for free trade, also
no; in favor of i-epealing such "robbery"
laws, is either very dishonest or very lazy.
It is the stale free trade falshood over
and over again that the tariff duty is a
tax; this i not true and like the ignorant
blunder of Grover Cleveland in his' mes
sage, that the consumer pays the market
price of the article with the duty added,
it is too silly to need reputation What
a pretty picture the poor old democratic
party would cut before the people if such
an absurdity was true with rice at 100 ,
and 6Ugar at 4fi cents duty and wool on
the free list. Such arguments break
down with the weight of their assertion.
THE EXPOSE.
Our prohibition friends may read the
following from the' pen of Fred Nye, of
the Omaha World, and then wonder
what Khet. Clarkson, Senator Gorman
and Dr. George L. Miller will have to
say. That St. John is laboring in the in
terest of the democratic party no sane
man can deny; especially when his late
performances in Iowa arc. examined.
Speaking of prohibition in Iowa, that
mountebank said to.thellon. Aaron Kim
ball a short time before his late crusade
in the Ilawkeye ttatc: "Senators from
non-partisian prohibition success in Iowa
in a constant rebuke to our third party
movement." Yet he entered Iowa with a
dagger in his hand to slay the party
which gaye, and is today enforcing pro
hibition in Iowa, knowing that his action
will, as Dr. Fellows says in his letters to
"prohibitory in Iowa," "have a tendency
to exasperate enough prohibition voters
to turn the state back into the hands of
the license praty." Here is the "tale" un
folded by the discussion between Messrs
Nye and Morrissey, which shows that
John B. Finch was a loyal democrat and
John P. St. John a "reyenue" prohibi
tionist: ML'KIEK WILL OUT.
At last, after repeated, passionate de
nial-!, the democratic paity, through one
of its leaders, incontinently admits that
in the campaign of 1884 it bought and
paid for the prohibition party or the
leaders of that party in the United States!
Mr. Morrissey in his yesterday's column
preseuted the following, for which we
ask the careful re-perusal of eyery reader
of this paper:
Mr. Nye had considerable to say about
Prohibitionist St. John and mentions his
preferred prostitution to Clarkson of the
republican national committee in 1884.
It may be well to remind Mr. Nye that
the most egregious dunderhead connected
with that memorable campaign was the
same Ret Clarkson to whom he refers.
He found St. John empty-pocketed and
offered him a petty sum to withdraw
irom rno neia. jonn li. I'incli, now
lead, but well known in Nebraska, heard
of Clarkson's offer, and fearful lest it
mig'it be accepted, or at least the prohi
bitiou campaign so sincerely being foster
ed by himself, fall flat, met Dr. George
L. Miller of this city in one of the New
York city hotels, and told him of the
Clarkson offer. Dr. Miller in time com
municated the news to Senator Gorman
who was managing the democratic cam
paign, and money was furnished by dem
ocrats to keep the prohibition campaign
going. 1 lien Clarkson raised his bid,
out the prohibition was not at auction
and Clarkson has ever since been babying
oyer his own faliure and cursing every
one connected with it. There is uo rea
son to believe that St. John personally
got a single penny beyond his legitimate
campaign expenses. That he did the
democratic cause great service there is no
question, neither is there any doubt that
he is a higher-principled man than Clark
son t ver can be.
i nac Mr. .Morrissey Knows what he ib
talking about no one can doubt. Under
the administration of Dr. Miller he was
the confidential associate editor of th
Omaha Herald, and after the doctor sold
his p.iper, Mr. Morrissey became editor-
in-ciiief.
Mr. Morris sey attemps to pile the odum
ot bribery upon Clarkson, but there it
will not rest. The proof of the pudding
is not the sucking or the string. Mr,
Mori issey says that.
J)r. Miller communicated the news to
Senator Gorman, who was managing the
democratic campaign, and money was
furnished by democrats to keep the pro
hibition campaign going.
St. John and his crowd did not support
the republican ticket; they attacked re
publicanism malevolently and especially
as they are attacking it today, and they
did it on money furnished by the demo
crat.-! Mr. Morrissey says so, and his
word is absolutely good. What has
Clarkson to do with the matter? What
if In-did offer St. John monevf Does
that mitigate the turpitude of the great
moral apostle and his followers in accept
mg money from Gorman? Does that
palliate the acknowledged bribery of the
democratic leader in paying the prohibi
tion:-ts to continue their assaults upon
republicanism? The prohibitionists de
feated Blaine this party of the immacu
late, working for the reform of man and
the ylory of God, sold itself or was sold
by its leaders to Grover Cleveland,
through Dr. Miller and Senator Gorman!
Its campaign for the home was based up
on niouey furnished by the party of
saloons. For sordid nrice St. John and
his satellites lifted to power political
organization which, year by year, in
winter and summer, by day and night,
has -tood with all the strength of des
peration against every temperance reform
that has been born in the United States!
Why, Judas did iio worse! He didn't
get much just thirty pieces of silver
men-ly his campaign expenses as a disci
ple! It is no apology for a traitor that
lie v.- is cheap. The facts are that Judas
sold himself and Christ to Christ's ene
mies, and that St. John sold himself and
prohibition to prohibition's enemies.
The only difference is in favor of Judas,
who seems to have had a sort of post
facto conscience, which, after his great
crim had been consummated, drove him
to self-destruction. If Judas ha 1 joined
the Jews at the crucifixion and afterward
taken the stump for Pilate the parallel
wonM be complete.
If St. John sold himself last year as
Mr. Morrissey says that he did as Mr.
Mori issey's statement proves beyond all
question that he did What is this year's
inference? St. John is still stumping for
Cleveland still elandciing republican
ism. Fiske fights the grand old party;
Brookes admits that he has been a rebel
and a traitor and an all around moral
tonsh, but thanks God that he has never
leen a republican! What is the logic of
jt? Gorman is still the confidential man- I
avr of Cleveland's underground politics.
lie campaign expenses still go on. '
Wh pays them now? i
WHAT'S THE USE.
"When I am conyinced that a party is
consistent which favors a protective duty
and at the same time does not protest
against European cheap labor coming to
this country and competing with our
American workingmen, I shall vote the
Republican ticket," said a democrat in
our hearing the other day. To reason
with that democrat is a thankless task.
In the first place, he knows a democratic
administration has been in power in the
country since March, 1883, and that sun
dry messages have been delivered by the
democratic president, Mr. Cleveland, on
the state of the country. That volumi
nous labor statistics, as required by law,
repeatedly prepared and placed in the
hands of the Speaker of the House of
Representatives, Mr. Carlisle, and for the
express use of the democratic majority in
the House of Commons. That the most
exhaustive strikes, dangerous labor dis
turbances, this country has ever exper
ienced have occurred during the past four
years. I hat communism and anarchy
have emphasized their dangerous presence
in this country, during the existence of
Cleveland's administration, in a manner
that has attracted the attention and co.n
ment of the ciyilized world, and that
even the death penalty has been visited
upon the heads of some of the leaders
of the anarchist societies of this country
by the authorities ot the great state of
Illinois; yet, knowing all of these facts,
not a recommendation has come from
Mr. Cleveland, no party measure has been
proposed by the democratic majority in
Congress looking towards the restriction
of foreign emmigration to our shores;
howling against the Chinaman, who ncv
er proposes to become a citizen of the
republic, is the whole democratic stock in
trade, in regard to foreign cheap labor;
in this there is no foreign vote to offend,
but, rather a prejudice to be pandered to;
hence, the Chinaman pilloried by every
cheap polit:cian; yet, not a word against
the dangerous classes who are daily
welling the volume of our voting pop
ulation. Knowing all this, our demo
cratic friend indulged in imprecations
against a party not in power, as an ar
gument in favor of a party in power
difectly chargeable with derelication of
duty, in this respect. In view of this
fact, we say, it is evidently a work of
supererrogation to show such a partisan,
the falacy and error of his position.
To ask him what the difference would
be to keep the cheap labor out of the
country and admit the cheap results of
that labor without restriction would per
haps be useless. To ask him who would
be benefited by such a policy would
also be useless, because he is engaged in
supporting the democratic position on
the industrial question and not in trying
to arrive at the truth of the question in
its application to the laboring man. Our
friend knows that the direct way to have
cheap goods in this country is to reduce
wages; everyone knows this; yet, it seems
to reason with such partisans.
These fellows will not stop and exam
ine the physical fact, that the necessaries
of life are as cheap in this country; while
the social condition of the working man
is immeasurably above and his wages al
most double, that of his brother in free
trade England; they rush fiver these
known facts to grasp at the theoretical
falacies of the free trade doctrinaire who
tickles the ear with his "robber tax"
cry. That the man who votes the demo
cratic ticket votes to have lower wages
in this country is a fact, among reasona
ble men, beyond dispute.
The prohibition party of the county
is to be pitied on account of the man St.
John, who is ever present at its conven
tions and in close states, making demo
cratic speeches under its banners. His
harrangue in Omaha the other evening
certainly lays him open to grave sus
picion in view of the charge that he is
in the employ of the democratic party,
and his appearance in Iowa delivering
the corsest kind of democratic harrangues
against the prohibition party of that
state is evideiiC3 which we can see no
other way of explaining. The republi
can party of Iowa has not only enacted
prohibition but it has enforced it by
stringent laws which smack of the era of
puritanism yet, in the face of this fact
St. John found in Iowa denouncing
that party and the particular plank in
its p.ariorm wnicn advocates the same
policy touching the internal revenue tax
on whiskey that the national prohibition
party adyocates. Can these antics of the
professional prohibitionist be explained
from any other than a mercenary point
of view ? When a party claiming to be
founded on a great moral principle fol
lows a man like St. John and endorses a
policy on the party of its own party,
which avowedly advocates thesuccessof
the great rum party of the
country, abandoning its electoral
ticket in sections when the possibility of
its support would endanger democratic
success and makes open war on prohibi
tion itself where it finds it enacted and
enforced by the republican party, it
should not complain if plain inatter-of-
fact people lose confidence in the honesty
of its purpose and cease to have respect
for its high professions. We have no
kind of respect for demagogues r.nd pro
fessional reformers of the calibre of John
P. St. John. i
DEMOCRATIC LIES.
The other evening the Journa Sprinted
the campaign lie, which had been sent
forth by the Omaha Herald, to the effect
that Levi P. Morton, instead of donating
food to the suffering people of Ireland,
sold the ship load of provisions (sent by
himself) to that hungry people for the
highest market price. The facts are yery
fully set forth, we notice, by the Omaha
Republican of the 16th inst, in an article
in which the paper asks the Omaha He
rald if it has enough common honesty
left to correct the lie, and it may not be
offensive to the good morals of this com
munity to call the Journal attention
to the lie and see if that organ of democ
racy is willing to correct the falsehood it
has been a party to scattering against Ire
land's friend, the Hon. Levi P. Morton,
candidate ior vice prescient on the na
tional republican ticket. March 10th,
1880, the New York Herald published
the whole facts in the case as follows:
We print a most welcome letter from a
distinguished citizen of New lork, who
does not permit us to use his name, in
which he makes a proposal of practical
utility for the succor of the perishing
Irish poor. This benevolent citizen has
learned from the secretary of the navy
that the ship Constellation, which the
secretary proposes to send with con
tribution of food to Ireland, under the
authority of a recent joint resolution of
congress, lies at the Brooklyn navy yard
awaiting a cargo, but that no tenders
have been made. This gentleman, who
is personally known to us and whose re
sponsibility we can safely indorse that we
assume to gurantee the performance of
his offer, a guarantee which would be
superfluous if he did not desire to conceal
his name, proposes to pay for one-fourth
of the cargo of the Constellation if other
cities will make up the balance.
New York, March 10, 1880. I learn
from the secretary of the navy that the
ship Constellation, which he proposes to
send with contributions of food to Ire
land, under authority of both houses of
congress, appro yed February 25, 1880, is
at the Brooklyn navy yard, but that no
tenders of cargo have been made. You
are authorized to announce that a gentle
man, personally known to you, offers to
pay for one-quarter of the cago of the
Constellation if other parties will make the
balance. The capability of the ship is
equal t 2.300 barrels of flour, but her
cargo should be made of flour, oatmeal,
and seed-potatoes, which last would ar
rive in time for planting and replace
those which the sufferers have been
forced to use to sustain life. I shall de
sire the distribu'ion of the cargo to be
made by Mr. Bennett's committee. As
you are aware these articles of food will
be delivered free of cost, save to the
government. If you approve the idea
you can make the proposition without
for the present at least using my name.
lou can assume to guarantee the perfor
mance or my otter. Believe me, yours
very truly, A Friend.
Eight days later, when the total cargo
had been subscribed, the Herald, with
out consulting Mr. Morton, made his
name public, explaining: "As his offer
was conditional and it was uncertain
wheter the condition would be complied
with he had a reluctance to see his name
connected with an offer which he might
not be able to fulfill. But, now that the
cargo is complete and the offer binding,
we take the liberty to state that the gen
erous donor who infused life into this
movement is the Hon. Levi P. Morton.
If Mr. Grace, who was an equal contribut
or, falls behind Mr. Morton, it is because
he did not lead the way, but followed,
instead of setting an inspiring example."
i he journal nas at last joined issue
with us on the tariff question, and dis
putes our proposition that the direct way
to cheapen goods and wares, the free-trad
ers demand, is to pull down the wages
of the American laboring man. The
Journal is the first free trade advocate
that seriously disputes this truism. In
the great debate in the House advocates
of the Mills' bill admitted that the re-
suit or iree trade would be lower wages
and cheaper goods; all free traders of
intelligence, we say, admit our proposi
tion and argue that it is all the same be
cause one douar win buy as much in
London (their world's market) as two
will buy in this country under protec
tion. The charges have been rung on
this chestnut until even the Journal man
cannot be ignorant of it. Examine your
Cobden club pamphlets and you will be
able to line up with these eminent econ
omists. But the economist of the Jour
nal goes off on the proposition that labor
saving machinery has kept up wages.
Exactly ! that is an admission your class
of free traders have been avoiding ! It
is these manufactures that protection has
fostered and builded up that has made a
market for labor in thi3 country and the
demand has kept up the price, not the
machinery ! A steam press wont do it,
but the demand for skilled labor does.
So, we come back to our own proposition;
break down these manufactories with
your revenue reform,free trade policy and
you cheapen labor, that moment, in this
countryjthe men thus denied employment
will compete in their demand for oth
er employment; their ability to purchase
will be destroyed; cheap goods without
duty will flood the country; the health
of the markets will be destroyed and the
business of this prosperous country will
again be paralyzed. The best thing the
Journal can do is to stick by its free
trade pamphlet literature and not ven
ture on any untrodden paths, else it may
find itself again building up a protective
argument.
WHY HE "THANKED COD "
The Exact Words of Prohibition
Candidate Brooks-
Decatur, 111., Aug. 17. Special.
The publishers of tho Decatur Daily Re
publican haye prepared the following
iu printed form in answer to many letters
of inquiry from different sections of the
country:
"Dkcatch, 111., Aug. 17. The recent
utterance of Dr. John A. Brooks, the
prohibitionist candidate for vice-president,
at Decatur, to the effect that he
'thanked God he had never been a repub
lican,' has called forth so many inquiries
from all portions of the counry that to
satisfy them the affidavit of Mr. John J.
II. Young Jr., the city editor of the De
catur Daily Republican, has been pro
cured to the same effect. But, as Dr.
Brooks udmitted in his speech at Bloom
ington, III., two days later, that he had
made the assertion referred to, it is hard
ly necessary to multiply statements,
thouirh two are added to show that others
heard the language one from the Key.
S. P. Hoy, who has always been an anti
saloon republican, and one irom L. F.
Muzzy, Esq., who represented the second
ward of Decatur as an anti-license alder
man in the city council for six years
The denial of Dr. Brooks as to the report
published in the Chicago i ribune is as
to the intention of the statement made
and docs not deny the language, and
coming as it did after the acknowledge
ment in the Bloomington speech requires
no further comment:
" 'State of Illinois, Macon County, ss.
John J. II. Young, Jr., being first duly

I am 37 years of age and have lived in De

a newspaper reporter, and in that capacity
attended the series of meetings of the
National Prohibition camp meeting, held
at Oakland Park, Decatur, 111., during
the month of July, 1888. I was at the
said camp-meeting the afternoon of
Thursday, July 20, 1888, when there was
a large crowd present, many of whom
were republicans. At said time and place
Dr. John A. Brooks, the ex-con federate
prohibition candidate for vice-president,
addressed the meeting and gave utterance
to the following language:
44 ' "I have lived in the south and
I owned slaves there. I sympathized
with the south and prayed for the success
of the confederate cause, but my prayers
were not answered. I have been a dem
ocrat, but, thank God" here the speaker
shook his head, at the same time raising
his arm and shaking his finger at the
audience "I have never been a republi

for."
" A.ffiant further states that the above
language of Dr. Brooks was taken down
by him at the time of delivery as a re

ULAiNK-phobia is tue name ot the
plague which is so rapidly running
through the ranks of the democratic par
ty. This disease was lately imported,
duty free, to our shores by a new steam
ship which was not properly quarantined
at New York harbor. The first symptoms
of the plague are gripping cramps accom
panied by violent kicking; then the vie-
tim soon becomes delirious and is verier-
all shunned on account of his incoherent
profanity. It generally attacks the aver-"
age democratic editor ana mugwump
first, and is said to be generally transmitted
through the express office "C O. D." in
the democratic "patent inside." Presi
dent Cleveland is reported to have fallen
a victim of this malady so that his poli
tical doctors, Wattersou and Carlisle, dis-
pair of his recovery and that Barnum
and Gorman have been assigned the duty
of preparing his per-functory letter of
acceptance, which is to double the cape
on the "gradual reduction of tariff du
ties" on wool, salt, flax, hemp, vegatables
and perhaps rice and sugar. The mere
mention of this letter is said to throw
the patient into violent paroxyisms of
fear, in which he immagines Blaine is
standing over him. belaboring him with
a stuffed club labelled, "American indus
tries on the war path." The president
is reported rapidly growing worse.
Our democratic neighbors are borrow
ing trouble over the Blaine reception;
they report dissatisfaction among the re
publicans over the magnificent manner in
which Mr. Blaine was received. Never
mind gentlemen! The republicans are
managing that side of the affair: the
gtery is so exceedingly gauzy it shows
the democratic liar white with fear right
behind it. Just read Mr. Blaine's
speeches; just gaze on the thousands of
working men who crowded to the cars to
hear him, as he flew through the little
manufacturing state of Connecticut and
stopped off at Boston. Mr. Blaine is here
and his mission is not to stir up strife
among republicans but to show up the
poor old party of low wages which is
managing the affairs of this country; and
from the manner in which he has started
out he is quite likely to keep the old con
cern on the run cnttl there will not be
enough of it left to make a good shadow
November next.
Will our democratic friends plcuso
read this statement from the Omaha Re
publican which brings out the national
feature of the "revune reform" the north
ern dough-face editor is ho fast to recom
mend to his readers. It spcuks for itself
in a language frightfully plain, like that
of "truthful James." Look at the facts:
From beginning to end the Mills bill is
a sectional measure, but it contains no
more glaring evidence of that fact than
the provision which admits cotton ties
without a duty and places a duty of $0
per ton on pig iron, the raw material from
which the ties are made.
This is the democratic way of protect
ing American labor reversing t he tariff
and giving the protection to foreign
workmen !
Every laboring man, we take it, will
see the point, and understand why it is
done. It gives the cotton planters the
benefit of cheap labor of the old world
by taking it away from the workingmen
of the United States. Of course, under
such a law, not a cotton tie would be
made in this conufry.
The circumstances will not have been
forgotten that this bill was drafted by
the democratic members of the committee,
behind locked doors. No republican,
whether or not a member of the commit
tee, was permitted to see it. Who was
engaged in the work '(
Roger Q. Mills, Texas, late colonel of
the C. S. A.
Henry G. Turner, Georgia, late captain,
C. S. A.
Clifton It. Breckenridge, Arkansas,
late private in C. S. A.
William C. P. Brekenridge, Kentucky,
late captain, colonel and general C. S. A.
William L. Wilson, West Virginia, late
private in C. S. A.
Bent'n McMillian, of Tennessee, not in
the coufedeiate army because too young.
William L. Scott, of Pennsylvania,
and William D. Bynum, of Indiana, both
free traders and the former the mouth
piece of President Cleveland.
Five of eight in the confederate army,
fighting for a constitution which declar
ed that no duties should evtr be levied
upon imports, and six of eight represent
ing the solid south, and yet. in the face
of these facts and many others of like
sort, democratic newspapers have the as
surance to deny that the Mills bill is eith
er free trade or sectional in its character.
They will have a hard time convincing
the intelligent workingmen.
