Young voters of Indiana those born just after the war are in the proportion of three to one in favor of the Republi can ticket. There will le great rejoicing in Missouri when she roles up 50,000 ma jority for Harrison and Morton, which she will do ou the sixth of next mouth. "Turn out, Democrats"' is the header of an appeal just issued to all moss-back democrats. That's just what the repub licans propse to do to turn out demo crats. Secretary Whitney is " whooping up " the president's belated presidential policy. He thinks that there is no rtangei of war, but i sure that we could " whip England." any way. It now looks as if the republicans were 6ure of caryiug Missouri, there have been sixty-five societies organized during the last month, known as "The Wheelers" and they will all yote the republican ticket. The republican party has raised the nation from bankruptcy to opulence, and secured for our public credit the faith ol the financial world. This was done under protection, and Gen. Harrison heiped to do it. Mr. Blaine's tour through Indiana lias been marked by a series of the largest meetings ever held in the state, and his speeches have presented the advantages of protection in a a most distinct and convincing way. Free trade is no experiement Jn Amer ica. We've tried it, and it didn't work. Germany tried it and it didn't work. Why not be guided by experience ? Business men are so guided; aud Un't public business to be conducted on busi ness principles ? Frederick, Md., Neirs : Gov. Kenne dy's reference to the well known fact that protection does not increase the cost of goods but lessens it, was well sustained by comparing the cost of an Imported ixe which in low tariff days under Dem. ocr&tic rule was $ 4, with a better article mad in this country, trader protection, that sell for 75 cents. A fact of this kind is worth a ton of free trade cant and pretention. RAW MATERIALS ALREADY FREE. President Cleveland, Mills the Texan, and all the free trade orators and organs are fond of saying that if Americans manufacturers could only secure free raw materials they could successfully coin pete with foreign manufacturers in those misty, mysterious halcyon regions, 'tke markets of the world." Give them free aw materials, and they could sell crock- cry and rubber goods, and woolens, and steel and iron, and everyother product of home industry, in competition with England, Germany and France, in all the foreign markets. They kn"w that this talk is mere rot, but they Lpe to delude the ignorant and the unthinking by it. Why, we have the raw materials al ready, in rich profusion, right here at the doors of our factories. We have the largest and best deposits of coal in the world.. We have the most extensive, most valuable and easily mined deposits of iron ore. Our forests for timber are of boundless and unapproachable extent variety and richness. Our wool clip is enormous and capable of still larger de yelopment. Our raw cotton production beats the world, And so of every crude material and fiber that enters Into the products of protected American indus tries. They are here in ricli and lavish abuudance. The earth is with mineral wealth. Our vast forests are waving in primeval majesty. All that Is needed to place these raw materials at the doors of our mills, fac tories, forges, furnaces and workshops is labor American labor. Why should we eo three thousand five hundred miles across the sea to dig these raw materials out of the earth, at enor mous depths, at great labor and difficulty compared with the ease with which they can be secured here, instead of mining and cutting them here? Why could we secure them cheaper thirty-five hundred miles away than right here at home, at our back doors! Come Free-Trader, speak up and tell us. Is it not because the labor is so much cheaper than Amer ican labor? Is there any other reason, and, if so, what is it? Is the iron easier to get at? No, not half so easy. Is any ore, or mineral, or raw material uearer the surface, more accessible, on cheaper laud? No, none of these. But the pauper lajor of Europe can dig it out of the groand a mile doep, and then send it three thousand five hundred miles across the sea, and still place it at our furnace doors at a lower rate than American labor can afford to produce it at. i It is purely a question of labor. What Abram S. Hewitt said on this point over forty years ago, in a speech in this very city, has never been improved upon. He said: "The value of ev ry manufacture is made up entirely of the wages paid to produce it. Coal and iron in the mines co3t nothing. They are the free gift of God. But they are excavated by the pick and shovel of the workman; by him they are wheeled, carted and boated to market; b' the workman they are carried to the mill, by the workman the furnace is heated and charged; by him the iron is puddled, rolled, put up for market, carried thither and sold. II is labor, labor, labor, that constitutes every addi tion to4.be value of the article; and it is the man who bestows that labor who should enjoy all the fruits thereof." We have raw materials in abundance in this country, but the Free-Trader3 would rather allow them to waste in the earth, than to mine and cut them with well-paid American labor, when they can be secured by the cheap servile labor of the Old World. It is precisely the same principle that justified sjaye labor securing the fruits of labor by the least possible rewards. Get them for nothing by slavery, if you can; if not, then by the lowest possible wages. That is the exact meaning of tl:c "free raw materials" outcry. Trenton Gazette. IT IS A FRKE TRADE PARTY. AND THE MEMPAI3 APPEAL SAYS GOD SEND FREE TRADE SOON. The Nashville Ameiican of yesterday contains a dreary editorial of more than a column in length, in winch it professes great fear of the defeat of the Demo cratic ticket, and says that "if such a catastrophe docs result it will be due to the testimony of Henry Watterson, Frank Hurd, Colonel Morrison, the Memphis Appeal and other papers, that the Demo cratic party is a free-trade party." The liver qf qur esteemed contempo rary is evidently out of order, or perhaps he is hedging, preparing, in case of de feat which is not in the least probable to charge it to the failure of the Dem cratic party at St. Louis to adopt his far vorite protection platform and policy, which, it seems to us, neither differs in degree or Wind from the Republican pol icy. But, ou inc. back-to the fact of free TRADE, IT IS Cn DENIABLE THAT THIS IS THE t LTIilATE POLICY OF THE DEMO cratic party, and the mji.i.h bill js only a step toward its consummation. And for that day we prax, "God send it eoox" 'Jlemj)hl$ Appeal, ' NOW AND THEN. Does Presidont Cleveland happen to recall the reason which he gave two years ago for suspending a United States District Attorney? In his letter o November 10, 1880, to this public ser vaut be wrote as follows: I do not think that such an official (a Federal official) can enter as a business a political campaign and consenting to a long list of engagements to address no litical meetings widely separated and of daily occurrence, fill such engagements without neglecting his duty, if he holds an onice worth having, nor without tak Ing with him in the canvass his officie' power and influence. If President Cleveland meant what he said in thus expressing himself, how does it happen that he has not long before this removed or suspended Dan. M Dickinson, Postmaster General of the United States. Mr. Dickinson, certainly holds "an office worth having." Mr, Dickinson has certainly been generously using "his official power and influence' since the campaign opened for a purely partisan and selfish purpose the re-elec tion of Grover Cleveland. Mr. Dickin son's campaign labors have certainly been pursued at the expense of bis public duties evidence multiplies on all side showing that the postal service of the county is seriously demoralized. We submit these consideration to those who are fond of referring to Mr. Cleveland as a courageous official. He is not courageous. He surrendered bis conyictions in regard to the eligibility of a president for re-election just as soon as he discovered that be could secure a re nomination. He surrendered bis civi service reform convictions just as soon as the democratic leaders put the screws on him the phrase of "Harper's Weekly" was that he bad "yielded to the pressure.' He surrendered bis convictions embodied in the familiar "order" to officeholders when the officeholders had made it plain that they did not intend to obey it. This js not the record of a courageous man. It convicts Mr. Clevelaud of the cowar dice which goes with sacrificing princi ple to expediency, the public welfare to personal and party ambition. Let us hear no more of the courage of the president. That virtue is made of sterner stuff than his. N. Y. Tribune. Pittsburgh Commercial: Every prominent labor representative at Pitts burgli is working for Harrison. Their reason is that they arc satisfied with the tariff as it is. Enoch Davis, a guide roller, owns a row of brick houses in one of which be lives; II. A. Loughran, another roller has accumulated $10,000; Joseph Webbir, who once worked for 1G cents a day in England, is worth $10,000; W. II. Cready pointed to a piano in bis bouse and said he was spending as much money on his daughter's education ns an English mechanic- earns; Jose.) Dish back, who works as a roller by the 1 ly, is also a member of a big furniture firm in Pittsburgli. Thrs? n'-n are nble to show substantial reasons for ea ; the democratic party and standing by pro tection. In the November Harper's is a long "short story" (19 pages), called "A Pink Villa," by Constance Fenimore Woolson, which is in pleasing contrast, (from a healthful, cheerful, optimistic point of view) with her "Neptune's Shore," in the October number. Uq attempted murder and accomplished suicide will delight Miss Woolson's morbid admirers this time, but the sketch of the Ameri can ni&mwa abroad with her daughter will entertain them in a more wholesome way. The tale is beautifully Illustrated with drawings by C. S. Reinheart. That lovely spot, Sorrento, is the scene of the story. "Where is Heayen V is the inquiry of a recent astronomical work. The St. Louis Globe Democrat answers the question thus : "After the Cth of November the answer will be: West of Illinois, east of Caosaa, south of Iowa, and north of Arkansas." Any one looking at the map of the United States will readily see it hns bounded the state of Missouri, which will go republican on that day and pay the Eoijrhcns their cb-bt of hatred and contempt, with the sixteen years com pound interest which it bears. j " What more could one ask in a can didate ?" inquires Judge Woods of the United States District court, in speaking of General Harrison: " He has harmo nized the divisions which formerly exist ed in the republican party and be is draw ing largely by bis personal popularity froin the dempcratifj party, and the questions of high character, abi ity and loyalty to the party being sntisfied"what further could one ask in a candidate ? We don't ask anything more, Judge. All we ask is far votes enough t elect him. and they are coming. The republican party invited JJanies Buchanan to take a walk because be truckled to southern leaders. Twenty eight years later the same conditions obtain, and Mr. Clevelaud must not be surprised if be gets an Invitataion similar to that Mr. Buchanan found in bla mail one morning.

I well remember selling eggs for three cents a dozen' and paying thirty-five and thirty-eight cents a yard for cotten cloth purchased iu the markets of the world. That was under free trade. " To-day you can purchase all the cot ton cloth you want for eight and ten cents a yard and you sell j-our eggs for from twenty-five to forty cents a dozen. That i protection. That is what protec tion to home industries and home mar kets has done for the country. Which do you like best. PgSTMASTEK-GeNKR AL D ICKIKSOS would not have enjoyed tho remarks made about the postal seryice under his direc tion, if he bad attended tbo meeting of the Methodist Preachers' Assocatson on Monday.

If asked to reconcile these dL rectl conflicting assertions, their answer is. in the lanornatTH of Mr. Mills. "Go 0 home and soak vour bead.' We are told that the reduction in the Mills bill from 37 to 43 per cent is a little thing. Does anybody believe the whole democratic chances are staked on a little thing ?

Thomas F, Ryan i one of the most prooiiuent of the Irish-American citizens of Indianapolis. He is a democrat of thirty years' standing, hut came over this Jc'r " account of the t.uiff. He says he knows of m uiv chants like his own in Indiana, and add: -In tins campaign twice as many Ii i-.li-Ainei loans will vote the rcpubliean ticket n have ever voted it before. I have been among our people I know them and I have talked with them. They are deeply interested in this free trade question more than they ever have been in any other political question that has come un in this country. Thev 14 w are reading on the subject those to many of them know personolly, from ex- perience abroad, what clTet-t free trade has on the ouestion of w.icrcs. "The Irishmen who left tli old country to come here, left becaus? they could not make a living there; and now that they are settled here, now that they have adopted the life and customs of this country, have become citiz'-us and have built their little homes here, they don't want to see established in this country the conditions which made it impossible ror mem to live decently in many cases to live at all in the old country "Against such conditions thev will Vl)te solidly, as far as thev arc sufficiently informed to understand them.

They are patriot- ic. and will stand mi for t.liia frmiifrir 5n which are all their interests." IN A NUTSHELL. The Republican party believes in such a revision of the tariff as will further dis courage the importation of foreign goods. The Democratic party believes in a re vision of I he tariff and in a free list that will encourage the importation of foreign goods. The industrial masses of this country believe in the Republican attitude on the question. Albany Journal. J. Sterling Morton has failed to con ceal his real sentiments, as the democrats of the first district hoped he would do, and is delivering pure free trade haran gues to the people of the district. Mr. Morton lacks the adaptability and the changeability of the successful demo cratic politician. See Ih-nry Watterson, fr instance. A few months ago he said that the protectionist was out of place in the democratic party, and that free trade was the essence of democratic doctrine; now he is on the stump telling what a good protection party the democratic party is. Then Mr. Vest said that the president's message was a challenge to protection to be a fight to the death; now he tries to squirm out of the rash gtate ment of his real feejingi.

A DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN LIE NAILED V.X CFFICIAI. FIGURES. Apropo-i of the claims of the democratic press that there were as many, or liiorc, democrats in the union ranks as there were republicans, it is well once in a while to refer to the official figures. Iu 1801, there were eleven states which passed laws to allow their soldiers in tho field to vote at the presidential election, and thus express their party references. McCIellan was a democratic candidate, and he was a great favorite witli the boys in blue. Many a republican soldier iu the Virginia camps voted for "Little Mac," because of a personal liking for bis old commander. Yet with this advan tage the soldier vote was tremendously large for Lincoln. Here are the figures: Static Maine New Hampshire..

The flection was held in October, shortly afler the bloody defeat of Rosencrans at Chicamauga. The Ohio soldiers cast their votes thus: Rrouiili Ii.4fi7 Vallan 'hiKhaiu 'J.s-'K These are the official figures, and we know of no other trustworthy way of telling the politics of the men who com posed the union armies than by the record of their votes. Until our democratic brethren can invent one as satisfactory we shall take the liberty of disbelieving all their statements to the effect that "democratic soldiers saved the union." Th' man who says so in good faith is not mentally above the capacity of a gib bering idiot. Toleila Blade. The raw material of t he cotton manu facturer is absolutely free of duty, and, comparatively speaking, it grows light at the door of the factory. If the asser tion of the free rader be true, that free raw material will enable the manufac turer to capture the "world's market," then tliis country ought to be nble to flood Europe and South America with cotton goods. And yet our exports of this class of commodities are miserably insignificant, What bettor chance would tho woolen manufacturers have of g lin ing the European market if the duty was stricken off wool ? None whatever, and every free trader u sirglo remove above a condition of pure idiocy knows it. The only way iu which tho Unil States can successfully compete with Europe is by reducing wages to the European standard. Cleveland, Carlisle, Beuck, and, presumably, Mills are aware of this, but they lack the courage and honesty to acknowledge it. Globe Democrat. Woi king-men are studying the tariff question. This is quito enough If workingmen will simdly look into tho mutter, not follow Mind prejudice, they will soon hj convinced that protection is the right policy. This isn't theory. It is experience.
