slate of tilings does not get better. On
the contrary, it constantly seems to get

with reference to tree trade 1 shall be ac

to overthrow free trade and of all the

to Chairman Mauley, of the Kepublican
National Committee:

Joseph H. Mauley, Vhatniuin, Etc., Au
ijunlii, Me. My 1)k ar Sih: Not being able,
for the reasons which I have explained to
you, lo deliver public speeches in this
present campaign, I takethe liberty of sub-
uniiing my views on me issues wnieii l re
gard as being strongest for the Republicans
to urge before the people. The issue of
the greatest consequence is the tariff on
imports, and it will continue to be until a
settlement is effected by a majority so
large that it will he tantamount to general
aeiiniesence. i no licpuuiicans are. ag
gressive on this suhject. Two years ago
they passed a general enactment known
us the McKinley tariff, which for a time
failed to meet with populat approval, and
was regarded with a certain degree of dis
trust by those who had always upheld tne
protective system, lint a powerful reac
tion has come m consequence of the vindi
cation of the McKinley tariff by exper
ience. It is found to have worked admira
bly, and within the last year has produced
a greater volume of business, internal and
external, export and iniort, than the
I'nited States ever transacted before.
Notwithstanding Ihe character and extent
of the opposilion to it. agriculture is re
munerative, manufactures are prosperous
and commerce is more flourishing than at
any previous time thus vindicating the
McKinley tariff hy an impressive and un
deniable series of facts. Against this tariff
the Democratic, party have taken a posi
tion almost without parallel in the history
of liie country. They reject entirely the
doctrine of protection, pronounce it a
fraud and anathematize it generally. A
resolution to this effect was adopted by tiie
Democratic convention against the report
of the committee ou resolutions by a two
thirds vote, tuns manitesting the intelli
gent participation of every man in the
convention. Sometimes a resolution may
be adopted in haste, or just when the con
vention is adjourning it may fail lo receive
the attention of the members, but this reso
lution was debated, pro and eon. adopted
aft r a contest, and was perfectly under
stood by Hie members of the convention.
It is contained in these words:
"We denounce the. Kepublican protection
as a fraud upon the labor ot the great ma

our labor. Labor in Kngland on the aver- ;itofJHj,.w. We declare it a fundamental

been the result lo the I'nited States if
every article, before it was put on the free
list, had been made the subject of inquiry
to see what we could get in exchange for
it ? We omitted to do so for many years
and that neglect has cost Hie government
advantages in trade which would havc
amounted to tens of millions of dollars
This is Hie whole of the reciprocity'
scheme. It is very plain and verv simnie.
It secures a valuable trade in exchange for
articles otherwise, destined to be put on
the free list. The Democratic party think
tiiey can discredit it, and they make the
effort apparently for the unpatriotic rea
son that they did not originate it.
WHAT -ST ATI-. HANKS .VI KAN.
Willi all its calamities the war brought
us one great blessing national currency.
There are many who will say Hint it was
worth the cost of the war to bring about
so auspicious a result to capital and labor,
i'rior to the war we had the worst cur
rency system of any enlightened nation
in the world. The stale banks, with some
exceptions, were thoroughly irresponsible.
tney existed by thousands throughout the
1 nited Mates. Whenever one of them
failed the result was a large loss and great,
distress among the people. JN'o one was
responsible for their bills, and they were
generally found scattered in the pockets of
the laboring man, to whom they were a
total loss without any redemption what
ever. Of the state banks it was often nnd
trulv said that their debts were the meas
ure of their profits. They have caused an
aggregate loss of hundreds of millions of
dollars among Hie poor. Since the close
of the war all this is dill'etent. Kverv pa
per dollar that circulates among Hie people
has.the I'nited Mates behind it as guaran
tee. All the banks that exist are' under
Hie control of the national government,
and if they fail as financial institutions
the government has taken care that their
bills shall be paid by securities deposited
in government vaults.
I'lider these circumstances it is a mailer
for extraordinary surprise that the Demo
cratic conventions should deliberately pass
resolutions for Hie revival of state banks.
The palpable effect of this policy, if car
ried out. would oe to cheat the poor man
out of his daily bread, it state banks be.
adopted and their circulation attain a
large issue, no device could be more deadly
for the deception and dcsjioiliiientof all the
commercial and laboring classes, flow
the Demoeratie convention came to make
such a declaration, who was its author.
what intelligent purpose was in it, will re
main a mystery, l have heard the argu
ment adduced that we would keep our
money at home if statu banks were insti
tuted, but we should keep it. at home be
cause it would be so worthless mat nobody
would take it abroad. W ere the system of
state banks revived, we would again have
discounts at the stale lines, large charges
tor drafts on financial centers, and genera
suspicion of every bill offered iu payment,
with a liquidation every few years that
would be destructive loss to Ihe innocent
holders of bills, and a corresponding prolit
lo the parties owning the hanks.
The three issues which 1 have given arc
the issues on which I would arraign Hie
Demoeratie party. I would not multiply
issues nor be diverted by our opponent's
from a steadfast adherence to and con
stant presentation of these questions be
fore the people, until every voter is mado
to know ami understand their true and
weighty significance.
Very sincerely yours.

E fleet or Free Wool on Farmers.
in 111 (here were .-! 13,136 sheep of the
value of SlUS,!i!rM47, which yielded 2JS5,
OOJ.UOO pounds of wool. On the above
number lS,57f.400 were east of the Missis
sippi and Missouri rivers, and most of
them were kept on lands like those de
scribed by Judge Lawrence, upon which
no other slock could be kept, at any profit
whatever.
Now, we have seen that the farmer's
business is one, of narrow margins and
small prolits, and legislative bodies should
iiesitate long before they do anything to
lessen his chances or limit his facilities for
making the most out of every one of his
small opportunities.
Hut we shall certainly be so limiting him
if we make one iota less profitable the
keeping of sheep, and no one will deny
but that this bill will surely have that ef

I affirm three things yvith respect to tlm

capital has already responded to the invi

and has practically deiiioiistratea our abil

that the result has been to reduce the price
of the foreign product, and will be to re

Strikes No Connect ion With Tariff.
A few days ago the pro tempore leader
of the house on that side, with a disin
geniiousness unworthy of him. inveighed
against the protective system because
certain coal-nuners in Alabama, cer
tain iron-workers in Pennsylvania, had
struck for higher wages, lie knows that
the tariff had no connection with these
strikes, lie knows that m allclimes, atall
times, since man tirst looked intotheeveof
his fellow, capital and labor have been en
gaged in contests which a Christian civili
zation has lessened in number and reduced
in bitterness, but has not yet learned to ...
prevent, lie known that not lone since
the streels of free-trade London resounded
to the tramp of inarching thousands,
strikers, not for an advance, but against a
reduction of wages. Men, and women, too,
who in Trafalgar Square, in presence of
the bronze figure of England's great cap
tain on Hie seas, in curses loud and deep
denounced the policy that on land mado
beggars of her own. He knows that to
day four hundred thousand mine-workers
in free-trade Kngland, out on a strike,
have laid their paralyzing hand on Eng
land's trade.
And if the gentleman from Tennessee,
appealing in an assembly such as this, not
to reason, but, to passion and prejudice, is
enamoured of this subject of strikes. Jet
me commend him to the recent history of
his own slate, where freemen mine-workers
were turned out to the winter's blast,
hungry and workless, by convicts put in
their places to sate tbe greed of Demoera
tie mine-owners, 't hat strike, like all the
others, bore no relation to the tariff, nor
did the tariff bear any relation to it. Man's

tan We Make Tin Plate !
Can we make tin plate in this country?
The gentleman who opened the discussion
yesterday (Mr. Slnvely) said undoubtedly
wo could. I was gratified to hear his
statement, for 1 had read in Democratic
papers so long that it could not be made In
this country, for some occult reason, that t
supposed that even the process of the
times had not changed the impression on
the minds ot any gentleman on that Side of
The appearance of Mr. Blaine's letter is
a most, significant political event. Its
strength is twofold, its statements and ar
guments will take fast bold of the minds of
tliecountry.and it w ill furnish indisputable
proof that Itepubiieans are thoroughly
united for the national campaign. Mr.
Piatt's interview shows that the New
lork leaders are in line to assure victory
in that state. Mr. Blame's proclamation
for such ii really is-has a wider range,
since tew Americans, if any, have ever
had a more numerous personal following.
Like everything which lie writes, t he pa
per is clear and strong. Kvery voter who
can read or to whom it is read can under
stand it. In this respect, both the letter
of President Harrison nnd that of Mr.
lflaine arc models and marvels. Mr.
Blaine's explanation of reciprocity will
aid many , speakers iu presenting it to
voters. It is not confused or wrapped
around with the theories of free trade
which Demoeratie workers hold up to
their mystified and uncomprehending au
diences. His statement of results is equally
clear, ft has increased our national busi
ness to a point never before reached m our
history.
It will bo interesting to see the Demo
cratic, speakers wrestle with the point he.
establishes that their modern party has
deserted Jefferson and repudiated his
tariff positions, jn short, it will be inter

What the Democratic Foreign I'olier
Did Not Do.
The Democratic platform declares that
it is the onlv narlv ihtt has given the
country a vigorous foreign policy. Well,
its vigorous foreign policy did not remove
the invidious and unfriendly discrimina
tion against ns by a large nomoer ot
Kuroeau countries, which positively pro
hibited the impoitation of our pork on the
untruthful pretext that it was dangerous
to health.
The foreign policv ot the present l.e-
niihlican administration did. and in spite
ot high duties and all the difficulties at
tending the sudden revival of a long-pro-
n toned trade in an oiiiciany smimeitMi
article, which the people had been taught,
to believe dangerous, in llm few months
that have elapsed this new market for the
Western farmers had amounted lo over
S-2.000, UOO up to .tunc lid Inst. Perhaps
that is why the Democratic convention
ainiabily remarked in its platform that the
