At k largely attended meeting of tho
Manufacturers' club of Philadelphia,
at tho Academy o( Muslo In thnt city
October 8, Senator John Sherman, of
Ohio, Was tho orator'of tho evening,
and In speaking on tho business issuea
between tho two gront political parties
laid:
"Tho whole aspect of tho tarlfT question bin
been chunked by the recent action of tho demo
cratic, national convention at Clilc:io. For
the first time In tho history of our country
during 1(0 yearn of national llfo ha a national
party dared to proclaim that n tariff for protec
tion Is unconstitutional and Is a fraud uon tho
laborer for the benefit of a few, This has not
leon done In iiecrct nor with equivocal phrases or
limitations, but openly after debate und n oto
by the strong majority of Bll jens to.lllinnys in
democratlo convention In which every dis
trict, and Mate-, and territory was fully repre
rented. "This Is n bold doilnratton, as held as tho re
bellion, nnd should bo met by tho American
people In thn samo spirit m they met the re
bellion. Them should to no truoo or parley
until tho Issue li determined: not by war, but
liy the voice of the American people. Thu sl
nlllcunt faot nppoars that this resolution was
votod ngalnst by the Rrent producing states of
the north and voted for by tho late ronfedcrnta
mates; that In sttbstnhco It was taken from the
tonfednrato cotntlttitlons that It was In open
opposition to tho opinions nnd nets of tho great
leaders of tho democracy, living and dead, and
nmnng them novum! from Pennsylvania of
whom not tho least was that sterling democrat,
Samuel J. Hnlidall, It was mado In thn fucu of
tho often repeated declarations In democratlo
national conditions nnd In spite of a largo mi
nority of the members of thorcwiit contention,
thu ower to Impose duties on Imports original
ly t elonged to tho several states. Thu right to
-adjust these duties with a view to tho cncotir
tagrment of domestic branches of Industry Js so
eonipletcllndintlcal with tho power that It Is
dlnictilt to siippo-ft) tho exlstcneo of tho ono
without the other.
"Tho states hno delegated their ivholo au
thority river ItniKirtn to the federal government
without limitation or restriction saving tho very
inconsiderable restriction relating to their In
spection laws, This authority having thus en
tirely passed from tho states, the right to exer
cise It for the purposo of protection does not
exist In them, und consequently It It lie not
possessed by tho general government It must bo
extinct. Our political sjstem would thus pre
sent thu nuomuly of n people ntrlpieil of tho
right to foster their own industry und to coun
teract the most selllsh und destructive Ixillcy
'which might be adopted by foreign tuitions.
This rnntiot be the case; this Imllspcnsnhlo
power thus surrendered by tho statu must bo
within the scope of tho authority on tho subject
expressly dolegatid to congress.
They tell us nNo that protection Is a fraud
uikiii tho lalior of the American peoplo for tho
teuellt of the fow. What right has tho demo
cratic party of to-day to speak for tho latxirlng
men of this country: Whnt mcostiro has It
.udopted or propesi d to advance their Interests;
to prnmota their comfort or Increase, their pay?
Kuryono of the great nets of public policy
tadoptcd by tho republican party which have
distinguished tho lust thirty years has tended to
prcmote the good of tho people, of thu common
people, as Mr, Lincoln called them, and none
has been more fruitful of good to the people,
and especially to those who labor, than tho re
publican policy of protecting their industries
from undue foreign competition. This rulo of
protection has been extended by tho McKlnley
law to all forms of production In which our peo
ple can compotewith fair wages on equal terms.
"Congress may not In all cases havo llxed tho
Justrato of duty, for this depends upon chang
ing conditions of demand and supply, but tho
principle adopted Is plain and simple, ttiat In
-collecting our revenues from Imported goods
we will discriminate In favor of homo produc
tions iui against foreign productions competing
with ours. This Is tho republican policy of pro
tection, to secure and maintain which wo ask
the people of tho United States to reelect Hen
Jainln Harrlsou as president of the United
.Stales, and .to rccltct a republican houso of
representatives.
"If the republican party succeeds at this elec
tion tho protective polloy will be maintained,
and the McICInloy law will only he changed ns
the experience ot tho time demonstrates the ne
cessity of amendment. If thn democratic party
succeeds wo must bo prepared for violent
changes in our tariff laws, to tie mado without re
rard to the wages nnd interestsof latiororof thu
capital employed in manufactures. Tins threat
ened destruction of our homo industries Is made
by an unnatural alliance of thu cotton grower
In the south, tho free truder in commercial
cities, and tho dllctlanto dudes, who now fojiow
the fashions of tho old world, becauso It is
llngllsh, you know,
"Tho second business question of national
policy of great Importance to which I havo re
ferred is whether tho eotnago of sliver shall bo
free, whether tho holder of siStt grains of
standard stiver, or Slli grains of puro silver
can present It to tbo treasury ot tho United
autus and havt it eolned for him Into a dollar.
That much silver Is worth In the market about
sixty-seven cents. It the coinage of silver Is
mado free, then all tho silver now In existence,
estimated at 11.000,000,000, and all tho silver
v .hereafter mined, amounting last yeur at coinage

"I believe President Harrison would veto n
frco-colnage measure. What Mr. Cleveland
would do I cannot say; ho docs not tell us. The
subject will enter largely Into congressional de
bates. No man imbm to no cicriru in con
gress whosu position on this question Is not
clear and unequivocal. Now what wo want Is
both gold and silver money, but ulwnys main
tained at pur with each other, money having tho
mamo purchasing power, liow can wo got
itf The surest answer is by putting enough all-
vcr In tho silver dollar tomukolt equal In value
to the gold in thu gold dollar, If 71U grains
aire hot enough put into tho sliver dollar 460
grains or W grams; give tho people an honest
dollar and thussettlo the silver question.
"A measuru of graver impomnco thnn even
tree trade or a silver standard is presented in
two lines !u the platform of tho democratlo
party recently aCopted nt Chicago. Section 8
.. cLUia platform reads:
" 'We recommend that tho prohibitory 10 per

"What does this incanr The tax referred to
was Imposed In tho midst ot tho civil war, after
full debate and consideration, not for the pur
pose of revenue, but to got rid of tho mass ot
paper money Issued under the laws of tho sev
eral states, of denominations ot ono dollar to
ouo thousand dollars. I am now amaxed that
any Intelligent man, democrat or republican,
who has lived long enough to know tho truth,
or has read the history ot his country, could
now bo willing to open tho door again to this

WHY WAGES HAVE RISEN.
rnlainltyfluwllnr. Democrats Havo at
llnril Itoad to Travel.
Democratic newspapers deny thnt the
rate of wages has risen nntl thnt the
aggregate of wages paid Hlnco tho pas
sogo of tho McKlnley tarlfT him in
creased becauso till democratic paper a
during a presidential campaign arc in
tho business of showing how poor
everybody Is and how tho country l
going to tho dogs. This preaching loss,
panic and banhrnptcy Is a poor trado
anywhere; but It Ih a particularly hard
road to travel in the most prosperous
country ou'cnrtli, nnd just now, In this
current year, tho only ono.
Hut there 1m every reason why wages
both in rate and ninount should bo
greater becauso tho mnnufncturlngout
put of the country Is greater. Nothing
measures wages Hlto output. Moro
cotton cloth, moro woolens, more boots
and shoes, and moro pig Iron enn bo
inndo without paying moro men Inoro
wages anil higher and hotter. Thero
nro many trades of which this can bo
found out only as Commissioner 1'cclc
did by Mending out Inquiries. These
showed thnt In 1891, in sixty-seven In
dtistrlcs covering 1,121 "trades" and
giving employment to -S5,000 men and
women, there was an average ndvanco
to ench ono of theso men and women of
UU.llover tho wages paid tho year be
fore. In regard to tho great staples, how
ever, It Is possible to tell tho Increase
of output, nnd hence tho probable,
not to say certain, Increase of wages.
The cotton mills of this country havo
taken !2,i!'M7'-! bales this year to date,
against !2,0tW,fi-S bales last year, an ad
vance of an eighth. Tho wool ab
sorbed by our manufacturers, as meas
ured by receipts at lloston, has been
for tho llrsthalf of lbOU :i:il,1(Hl bales,
against S8l),-t37 bales, or an ndvanco of
ouo-seventh. Wool snlcs at thrco prin
cipal ports, lloston, Now York und
l'hlludclplila, have this year been J0:;,
702,078 pounds, against 10:1,(115,-100 last
year, an ndvanco of 115 per cent Im
ports of rnw wool for tho fiscal year
ending lust Juno woro 148,070,072
pounds, against 12l),:)0:i,fll8 pounds In
1801 and l05,4:il,S8l pounds In 1800, so
thnt tho Increase In these imports of
wool since tho year before the passage
of the McKlnley tarlit has been 44
per cent, and the total Increase, in tho
consumption of wool has been 10 per
cent At tho samo time tho imports of
foreign manufactures of wool havo
fallen from 850,082.41'.) in tho fiscal
year just before tho present tariff writ
passed to S8.V05,871 ' the fiscal year

llrst half of 1M2 was 5,374,0 lit tons,
against 3,772,280 tons in tho llrsthalf

TAMMANY REBELS.
The Hltuatlon In New York Looks lllua
for Cleveland,
It Is no longer possiblo for tho demo
crats to conceal tho fact that Tammany
has revolted against Clavoland. Thero
Is no formal pretense any moro of har
mony botweeti that faction nnd tho re
mainder of tho patty In Now Yorlt.
Apparently tho blame for Uils condi
tion lies primarily with tho professed
ind active supporters of Clovclund.
Tho clement of tho party which has
been known as tho county democracy,
nnd which l led by ex-Mayor (Jrnce,
has lcen making secret war on Tnm
ninny ever since tho Chicago conven
tion, although Grace, two or three
months ago, according to the statement
of the mngnatcs of tho wigwam, prom
ised that there should bo a "let-up" in
tills strife, n plcilgo which nppoars to
havo never been observed by his fol
lowers. Tho actlvo and demonstrative
f.cctlon of the "counties," or tho nntl
snappers, continue the crusade, tho In
tention being to Injure Tammany In
tho municipal election, and destroy its
"pull" in tho city government. Natu
rally enough, tho wigwam resents this

duplicity nnd takes the rendlcst nnd
most otTectivo menus at hand to protect
Itself. It closes up its lines, directs its
batteries ut tho nnti-snupper.s. and
stands ready to dofend Itself from all
assaults, whether secret or open. In
doing tills, of course, Tammany has to
nbandon Cleveland, and he is thus cut
off from an clement whoso support i nr
nlshcs hlin with his only chance of car
rying Now York.
Under such circumstances it will bo
seen that tho peril of the democracy In
Now York is indeed grave. Without
the utmost harmony In tho party ranks
it enn by no possibility secure tho elec
toral voto of that state. In presiden
tial yenrs tho state Is notably close,
whichever sldo carries it, Harrison's
lead in It in 188S being only 13,000 nnd
Cleveland's in 1834 being but 1,047.
Even tho most nrdont democrat this
yenr has not counted on a plurality
greater tlniu 12,000 or 1.1,000 out of a
total vote which will reach nearly
l.flOO.OOO. With Tammany either luke
warm or hostile tho democracy is
doomed, us tho friends of tho national
ticket aro nwnro, yet by a recklessness
and perversity which Is marvelous und
uuneeountnblo the Inner circle of the
candidate's supporters aro bringing
about this very state of things. Tam
many hns uguin been u-ssnultcd In tho
house of its supposed friends, and tho
old factional strife is renewed. There
is u possibility, to bo sure, that a trnc
may bo patched up and that tho open
hostility of tho wigwam to tho ticket
may bo averted, but tho probabilities
do not point that way. The situation
of the democracy in tho dccislvo htatn
vote of Now York biv'Hfnnt. is. iunvUn.
cm situation iter can. lintdly resist tilo
conclusion that for this yenr nt least
the state Is irrevocably lost to his party.

respects than tho past two yenrs und in
which the general effect on cuplUil und
labor has been moro prosperous.
Theopponcntsof tho repnblleau party
always represented Xciv Yorlc ns a
commercial city and not u manufact
uring one, and yet tho product of tho
manufactures of this city alone is $700,
(100,000. Anything that would cripple
that great interest would cripple the
tho metropolis seriously, und to a very
hurtful extent Moro men in New
York get their living from pursuits pro
tected by tho tariif than from any
othor source. I know New York is the
center of our commerce, tho grent en
trepot of our trade; but all the
men engaged in commercial alT.iirs in
and about Now York are smaller in
nutnl)ers than tho men engaged
in manufactures nor if you go west,
where tho democrats this year uro mak
ing considerable effort and doing u vast
amuunt of boasting, will you find it dif
ferent. Take Michigan, Ohio, Indiana or
Illinois and tho product of manufactor
ies nro greater in pecuniary amount
thnn tho products of agriculture in
theso four great agricultural states. So
that I think democratlo orators who
uro on tho wing, tryinjr to arouse the
hostility of theso state against tho pro
tective tariff, will encounter u senti
ment of which they havo not dreamed.
"Wo learn from tho democratlo party
that three western states aro in u desperate-
condition. Tho amount of their
farm mortgages rollc up Into tho mill
ions. You ivould suppose it fabulous
that tlw American money theyembracc
could ever have been so Invested.
"This is noJvr ,lefiOJg.tJo farinprji la
of In IVntirtylvnniu. It is not so among
the farmers of tiny state near by whoso
condition can bo easily learned, but by
a singular fatality it is tho western
states that haws got- all theso farm
mortgages.
"Tho tariff ,.so democratic papers say,
is tho origin of a plutocratic govern
ment when wualth shall rnlo und poor
men shall not get their rights. I shall
venture to challenge nil such state
ments of that khid. A thorough exam
ination of tho list of wealthy men in
tho country published has demonstrated
tho fact to k? vaite tho revorso.
'.'I have u word to say about tho Irish.
I seo thnt it i stated that tho demo
crat boast of having tho most of them
in their ranks this year. It is ono of
tho mvsterie of our politics thah a
question which interests Englunti so.
sunremelr which is canvassed ulnmsfc
as much in London ns it is in Now York
should have tho Irish voto on tho sldu-
of Orent Itritnln. If tho Irish voto were
solidly for protection they could defy
the machinations of tho dcmocraJtiu
party for fveo trade, and throw their
influence on tho sldo of tho houut mar
ket of America against tho hldo of th
foreign market of England."

NO F SO ROMANTIC.

ltnil tho following.
Toi'KKA, Kan., Oct IS. Tho stnto
board of pardon heard an application
for pardon which brought to light tho
interesting history of the urrest, con
viction and imprisonment of two wild
but innocent boys of good family.
Frank ICepplinger and George Smith
two years ago ran away from their
home in Virginia, I1L, and came to
Kansas. At that time thoy were 10
yenrs old. Keppliugcr's father is a
wealthy stockholder and his unclo Is
president of tho IllinoU Stnto college.
Smith's father Is ono of Kcppllnger'a
farmer tenants. The boys finally came to
Galena, in Cherokee county, where they
obtained work In tho mines. To avoid
being found by their parents they as
sumed tho names of S. II. Brown and
Sam Frye. Three weeks after their ar
rival they were placed uuder nrrest
charged with breaking open an ore
house und stealing ore. They were cor
vlcted on purely circumstantial evi
dence nnd sentenced to live years each
in the penitcutinrv.
Five men were arrested nt Galena
lust spring for stealing ore and nil were
sent to tho penitentiary. Tho man who
mado a business of buying stolen ore
confessed that ho-had shielded tho gang
and tho crime for which tho boys woro
convicted was committed by ono Frank
Hngun, who is now serving time nt
Lansing.
KeppUnger's father used every means
at his command to-find his son, but tho
boy was us much lost to his pnrcnt3 ns
though he had been swallowed, up by
the earth. His photograph wa sent
ull over the country ond liberal re
wards were offered for his discov
ery. Two weeks ago a lady iu Kansas
City who had been u school niato of
young-KeppUnger's mother received u.
letter signed "S, II. Urown, box 2,
Lansing. Kan.." asking for the address
of Mary A. Kepplinger und whether
she wti'j.rtig" was recog'nizeU ' by .uvw:
Kepplinger as that of her missing
son. She cniue- to Kansas nt oneo
and hns been with her boy nt tho pen
itentiary ever since. Her husband atid
tin uttorney huvo been busy gathering
eviduncu to present to the-bourilof pur
dons, and in this wish have hud tho co
operation of tho oiliclalK- of Cherokeo
county, luclutllugtho county a-ttorney.
The pardon will probably bo gnmted.
