Washwotow, Oct 8, Another Dem

The Democratic party has certainly

it ia thus ahown from official record
that Mr. Cleveland, while president, or
dered his subordinates to nee, ia the
election ia which he waa himself a can
dldate, the very lawa to which hia party
is aow so strenuously objecting. The
so called force bill, aboat which Demo
crate are bowling, was tfaa very essence
of the act which Mr. Cleveland ordered
hia subordinate to enforce for his won
re-election. Thla is all there is to the
force bill bugaboo. It waa simply a pro
posed law providing for an extension to
country districts, on the petition of citi
aena, of the law already in force in the
cities of ftO.OOO inhabitanta or more.
What did the force bill really pro
pose to dot It proposed to extend to the
country districts, where fraud ia now a
matter of common occurrence, practio
ally the same law which Mr. Cleve

make false registration or interference
with registration a crime; it made
keeping false poll lists a crime; it made
election bribe and ballot box stuffing a
crimes it required ballot boxes to be
placed in plain aight of voters, and the
willful placing in thoae boxea of illegal

So much ha been said about tho ro
fusel of the Demoerata to givo nny
recognition to the G. A. II. at Washing
ton that it may be interesting to know
just what the cold facta arc. An inves
tigation shows that tho hourfo appropria
tion committee made no appropriation
for or recognition of the event in f mining
the District of Columbia appropriation
MIL Nor did the house itself do so.
After the bill had been passed in tho
house President Harrison, seeing that
bo action had been taken on thatsubject,
sent a message) to congress calling at
tention to the subject and suggesting
the desirability and propriety of reason
able aid for a proper entertninmont of
the mea who saved the nation.
The senate appropriations committee,
acting upon the president's suggestion,
reported aa amendment giving $100,000
for this purpose. Senator Cockrell im
mediately moved that the amount bo
paid exclusively from the revenues of
the District of Columbia. This was
voted down, the motion, however, ro
eeivinff 17 votes, of which 16 wore cast
by Democrats and Farmers' Alllanco
members nearly all of them from tho
south. When the bill went into confer
enoe, however, the house conferees in
sisted upon placing the Cockrell amend
ment upon th bill and on also cutting
down tha appropriation to $75,000. This
was combated by the senate conferees,
aad the bill was hnng np in conferenco
for weeks.
Th kouss conferees, with tho weight
of the three-quarters Democratio houso
behind them, were abls to carry through
their proposition, and the scnato con
ferees were obliged to yield and permit
the entire, burden to be placed on tho
district Th Republicans in both houses
sooke aad voted almoat solidly Against
the proposition to place the cntiro bur
den on ths district, saying frankly time
the people of ths nation would not only
willingly bear a share of the expenses,
but esteem It a favor to be permitted to
do ao. Ths only result of their efforts,
however, was to get the total appropria
tion finally fixed at $90,000 instead of
178,000, as urged by the houso conferees.

Special Correspondence,
Nnw YonK, Oct. 0. -One of the most
Interesting publications of tho campaign
has mado its nppearanco in tho form of
tho "Republican Campaign Text Dook."
It is tho result of much careful labor
on tho part of pcoplo thoroughly fa
miliar with tho political history of tho
country and of the two great parties,
nnd as it is prepared for the use of cam
paign speakers and writers great care
hna been taken to make its statements
absolutely accurate nnd reliable. There
foro tho information which it gives is
tho moro interesting. Mr. T. H. McXee,
of 1)3 West Thirteenth street, has charge
of its distribution, and, although it is a
book of nearly 800 pages, mails It at six
teen cents per copy. Here are some of
the things which it shows:
It shows that the manufacture of
woolen goods has prospered under the
now nnd higher tariff as it never pros
pered beforo, nnd that tho wool growers
havo been so greatly encouraged that
they increased tho number of their sheep
l.COO.000 in tho first year under the Mc
Kinley tariff.
It short's that tho prices of woolen
goods wcro lower under the McKinley
tariff than before, nnd that no loss has
resulted to consumers from the new
duty.
It bIiowb that forty-two tin plato
manufactories havo been established
sinco tho passage of tho McKinley law,
making tin of a quality superior to that
rundo abroad, at higher rates of wages
and a reduced price, the selling price
being actually lower now than under
tho old tariff.
It Bhows that tho aggregate of domes
tic exports in tho 101 years under the
constitution have been $31,093,789,844.
of which sum $15,030,818,791 occurred
during tho thirty years of protection,
tho total exports during the seventy-one
year being but $0,053,021,053.
It Bhows that under twenty-two years
of protection 41,802,000,000 pounds of
cotton woro sent abroad against 00,108,-
009,000 pounds in tho preceding sixty
years. Both theso statements show the
fallacy of tho Democratio claim that
protccttvo tariff closes tho markets of
other ports of tho world to. Amesica,
It shows that tho product of the farms
of tho country has been greatly in
creased undor protection. In twenty
years undor protection we have ex
ported $3,147,000,000 worth of bread
etnffs against $1,200,000 in the preced
ing fifty years. The exports of meat
products under twenty-two years of pro
tection have been 0,001,000,000 pounds
against 1,400,000,000 pounds in eighty
ono years of low tariff preceding.
It shows that undor reciprocity there
has boon an increase of many million
of dollars in our exports to Central and
South American countries, and that in
many articles tho increase has amounted
to from CO to 150 per cent
It shows that the Republican party
has been tho author and finisher of all
tho pension legislation enacted in behalf
of tho old soldiers. Nearly every pen
sion bill before congress was voted
against by moro than half of the Demo
crats in congress. A tabulation of the
votes cost on tho important pension bills
enacted since tho war shows 001 Demo
cratio votes for tiro bills, 003 Democratic
votes against them, 1,201 Republican
votes for tho bills and two Republican
votes against them.
It shows that tho so called force bill is
nothing moro than an extension to all
parts of tho country of ths eminently
just fedoral election laws now in force
in all tho great cities, and which Mr.
Clevolund and his subordidates made us
of whilo ho was president in their effort
to ro-eloct him.
It ehows Mr. Cleveland's veto record
0.1 a startling evidence of his hostility to
tho working pooplo and the masse. His
votoes whilo governor inolnded the me
chanics' lein law, the bill making em
ployers responsible for accidents from
impcrroct machinery, of Inferior con
struction of buildings, the bill forbid
ding tho manufacture ot cigars in tene
ment houses, the bill making ten hours
a day's work for street railroad compa
nies, tho bill prohibiting elevated rail
roads from charging more than five cents
fare, tho bill requiring all stat printing
to bo dono by union workmen, ths
bill abolishing convict labor in prisons,
tho child labor bill, and while president
ho vetoed tho auticonvict labor bill In
1880 nnd again in 1888.
It Bhows that Cleveland recommended
in ills lucssago on Dec. 0, 1680, the em
nloyinont of fedoral convicts in manu
facturing pursuits and the use by the
government of tho products of their
labor.
It shows that tho average rate of
wages in tho United States ia fully don
bio that la Great Britain. Taking a list
of nineteen occupations, such as manu
facture of boots and shoes, cotton goods,
carpet weavers, printers, mill hands,
etc., tho avorago rato of wages in ths
United States is $3.50 per day and in
Great Britain $1.23.
It shows that in Democratio states ths
avorago rato of wages for farm hands is
eighty-threo cents a day, and in Repub
lican statea it is $1.85.
It shows the volume of business done
through tho banks in Democratio states
to bo $783,718,034, and in Republican
uatcs to vo fu,ou,o(4,io3,
It shows that tho amount of cirenhtt
liig.inedium per capita is almoat doable
now what it waswhen the Democrat had
bad constant control of the government
for many years tho par capita amount
ot money in circulation in 1M0, being
fcKt.83 uiul' tho "amount per 'capita In
IS'.U Itoiug $31.33, a per capita rato
equaled by very few countries in the
stvilizod world.

8ICKLES STILL DEFIANT.
Ro Slashes drover Vigorously at the
. Washington Reunion,
I General Sickles still "has it in" for
Mr. Clovelaud. Addressing his old com
rades of tho gallant Third corps in
Washington ho defended tho pension
system, which recognizes in a practical
I way the services which tho eoldlcrs of 1
thn Union nrtnlmi liml rnmlnrofl tlinlt-
country ia its hour of peril. But ho said
more, and these are somo of his words:
''Yon are going home now, nnd there
is 'something I wsnt yon to talco homo
with yon. Ponder it; teach it to your
children; tell it to your neighbors. It is
this truth t That the people of tho United
States will see that no man is over
elected to an office of profit and trust in
this country who opposes the payment
of pensions to the soldiers of the Union."
That was a saber thrust at Mr. Clove
land, who was never so merry as when
hunting for half a reason to veto a
widow's pension. The report continues t
"The general leaned on his crutches
as he sfok th words, and tho sharp,
idiomatic, aaersll sentence, clean cut
as a paragrapk of constitutional law,
cut through tho air like the alaah of a
cavalry saber. Hs rammed tho words
home hard, as Captain Bigelow did tho
last charge of ths Massachusetts battery
of the Third corps, and the effect wos-ns
I instantaneous as when Captain Bigolow
puuea ine locxsrnng. in a moment
what was left of tho old Third corps
spoke with its old charging ring its
opinion of thman whose only joko was
cut at the expense of disabled veterans.
'Three cheers for tho man who mado
that speech,' cried Comrado General
Carr, springing to his feet, and again
the charging cry of the old Third corps
rang ont Into the night of Grand Army
place and rolled up to tho White Houso."
General Sickles was evidently right
when he waved his crutch in tho Chi
cago convention and declared that
Grover Cleveland would never rccelvo
the votea of the men who fought to pro
serve the Union. ,
PERTINENT QUERIES.
Bom Knotty Questions for Democrats
to Answer.
If foreigners do not pay tho duties,
why should they remove their factories
to the United States?
If the United States is not producing
tin plate in commercial quantities, why
aro sixty Welsh tin plate works idle?
If the McKinley wool duties did not
protect American wool prices, why has
the price of wool fallen In the London
market over SI per cent, since January,
1800, while in the same timo tho fall in
the price of American wool has been
only 7 per cent?
Why should Democratio Labor Com
missioner Peck's report, showing how
the McKinley law has increased wages
and given lifo to industry, causo such
great sorrow in the free trado camp?
If the tariff has caused strikes, why
were there 1,740 fewer strikes in Now
York state in 1801 than there wero in
1800?
Is the example of Grovor Cleveland,
who immediately before his first nomi
nation for the presidency confessed that
he "didn't know a thing about the tariff"
and who wrote his tariff message at tho
dictation of southern free traders, n
better one for Democrats to follow than
that of Jefferson, Madison, Jackson,
Benton and Randall?
With cost of living lower and form
prices higher than two years ago, as ad
mitted by Democratio Senators Carlisle
and Harris, would not the former be
foolish Indeed were be to voto against
protection, the farmer's policy?
Are the free traders who attempted to
nullify the constitution in 1833 and re
belled against it in 1801 better judges of
its provisions than tho protectionists
who fought and bled for it during fivo1
long years of war? American Econo

he was the very first A hand to hand
combat ensued, the gunners defending
themselves with their rammers and the
assailants attacking with their clubbed
muskets; officers exchanged pistol shots;
It was ia fact one of the rare instances
of a genuine bayonet charge without n

DOROTHY'S PRESENT.
A REALLY "REAL" AMERICAN GIFT TO
AN AMERICAN DRIDE.
A 1'rotty Story Which Will lntcrrt All
!lrlilo, 1'mt, I'lcornt mill Prospective.
Of Cimr.o No Horrid Man Should
Itcail It.
So hIio was to bo "tnnrricd on tho
14th" nnd 1 was ''invited to bo present.'
I know it, for 1 wna to bo her brides
maid, nnd wo had spent weeks and
months in planning it all, from tho most
insignificant rufllo to tho vory veil itself.
But here was documentary ovidenco of
it a formal invitation.
Then it occurred to mo that my wed
ding offering was still unsclecteil. 1
must havo been waiting for a Bpecial
dispensation, 1 think, for I longod to
givo her something real really real.
Something bright and puro and spark
ling nnd dainty nnd useful, like her
eclf. Aud my incomo, compared with
my aspirations, was ridiculously small,
as it so often happens. But no one
would think of Dorothy nnd "imita
tion" in tho samo breath. My gift must
bo "dainty." Small then. It must bo
"sparkling." Glass or china then.
"Puro." Whito of course. "Useful."
Cups nnd Baucers. Exactlyt And thoy
ought to bo Celled:, but that costs so
much. Dorothy nnd I had asked the
pricoof a beautiful imported cup at a
protcntious shop on Fifth avenue, near
Thirtioth otrcot, and wo felt liko thloves
for oven touching it when tho attendant
said the prico was $0.35 for one. No, tho
outlook was not encouraging, but there's
"nothing liko trying again," as my
grandmother used to Bay, and I started
for town at once,
"I would liko to bco Bomo whito Bel
leek cups," I Enid to an attendant in a
frfshionablo storo not far from Broad
way. "Certainly," nnd ho took from a
glass caso tho dearest little, puro white,
scintillating bit of a cup with a gold
brim and as light as a feather. It was
my dream materialized, and I almost
screamed with delight whon he let mo
hold it. "This," ho explained, "is Amer
ican china." "Oh, dear, how provok
ing," said I, almost lotting the bijou
tumbloj "I want It real not any Amer
ican stuff." I think his eyes twinkled,
but ho icplied very gravely and politely:
"This is real. You doubtless know
(clover man!) that 'Bcllcok' is the name
of a town in Ireland whoro this ware
was first produced. Tho proper clays
aro found in this country in abundance,
and ten years ago ex-Congressmen J. H.
Browor, of Now Jersey, paid a man
thrco times as much as ho was receiving
in Ireland to como hero and work for
him. Other potters, who pay their work
men as good wages, havo found out the
secret sinco, nnd thcro is no moro deli
cate china mado in tho world than some
wo get from Trenton, and none so
cheaply Bold in tho United States as tho
American."
"Well, I should think that American
potters must bo very good men to pay
their workers thrco times as much as
thoy could got in Europe, but how can
they afford it?"
"Tho protoctivo tariff"
"You aro going to tell rao about that
McKinley bill."
"Do you object to it?"
"Oh, I don't know anything about it,
really; but it must bo a very good or a
very bad thing, pooplo talk about it bo
much."
"Horo aro tho facts; you shall judge
of its 'goodness' or 'badness yourself:
Tho McKinley bill forces the foreign
potter to pay sixty cents for tho privi
lege of eolling 100 cents' worth of dec
orated china in this country that is,
thcro is a tariff of CO per cent, on that
clas3 of goods. This is bo that tho work
man hero may bo paid sixty cents more
for a dollar's worth of work than are
tho eamo class of pcoplo in Europe.
That enables our working potters to live
better aud happior lives than do those in
Europo, aud brings a class of men among
us who aro encouraged to produce th
most artistio results. Thorois so much
competition among tho nativo potters
that the prico to customers is low. The
prico is eighty cents each."
"Eighty conts and real, and I saw
an imported ono for $0,251 Well, I
think tho McKinloy bill is a very good
thing indeed. Givo mo half a dozen of
thorn right away, plcaso." It seemed 00
wonderful that by buying this cup,
which was tho vory thing I wanted, for
eighty cents, instead of paying $0.25 for
an importod ono, I was holping one of
my own countrymen and his family to

ONE MORE.
Another Prominent Democrat Deierts
Cleveland.
Providence, Oct. 8. General .John
M. Brennan, an astuto Doinocratio poli
tician, in discussing tho political affaire
of the stato and nation, said:
The Democrats cannot win in Rhode
Island, for they have nothing whatever
to win on. The nationnl party very
foolishly went to the conntry with n de
feated candidate, and they) cannot re
cover the presidency. Clovclnnd was
defeated with the fedoral government
behind him nnd moro than 100,000 office
holders, all of whom ought to havo boon
with Cleveland, but thoy wcro in th
majority against him, and whon th
election camo around again in 1P83 they
largely voted for Harrison. Thcro is
but ono logical conclusion to this part
of the political ft look, and that is,
What can Clovelai I do without the
federal patronago in H'.',2 when ho could
not win with it in 18 IS':
Cleveland, wholiccamo bo jocular an4
grotesque in his thousands of ponsioa
vetoes to the poor Union soldiors' claims,
will nsver be forgiven. Ho drovo many
nails in his political coffin when ho mad
those vetoes. No one in all this countr
ever heard before of a candidato goina
to the people as a nominee for a great
office against the expressed wishes
and desires of the stato delegation
whence he came. In tho Novomber
elections in Rhode Island the Democrats
will be sur to see to it that tho Cleve
land following choose two Mugwump
candidates as the nominees for congress,
and thoy can go down with the ill starred
coterie of managers who expended so
much money to secure tho Cleveland
delegates to the Chicago convention.
These same Mugwumps in Rhodo Island
caused the defeat of tho Democratio
party in this1 state in tho last April elec
tion. POWDERLY FOR PROTECTION.
Th Labor Leader Leaves the Demo
cratio Party.
A Wilkesbarre (Pa.) dispatch says:
General Master Workman Powderly,
of the Knights of Labor, and Chauncey ,
F. Black, president of tho Stato League
of Democratio Clubs, met at the Dela
ware and Hudson railroad depot in Hyde
Park this morning. Mr. Black was tak
ing the train for his home iu York, Pa.,
after attending the annual convention
of the Democratio clubs in Scranton.
Powderly grasped the Democratio states
man warmly by the hand and said:
"Can you tell me whero Clovelaud
stead on the tariff?"
Mr. Black replied, "That's more thaa
I dan tell, although if you asked where
I stood I would be ablo to tell you."
"I tell yon what," said Powdorly, "I
don't think he knows whoro ho stands.
He is at sea. 1 usod to admiro that
man, but since his meddlesomo inter
ference with the silver question I havo
lost confidence in him. As between the
Republican and Democratio parties I
am a Republican this time."
The stand Powderly takes will creati
a sensation in labor circles. HebasaJ
