wlvca with the bold nssortlon that It 1ms
Imd no such results us nto clnlmod for It
by republicans. Not ono of them lias
had the honesty und candor to take up
the statistics nnd nttomut to prove that
they do not doinonstntto the Rood cITccts
of the tariff upon the material Interests of l
the country. On the contrary the re
publicans steadily appeal to thcso facts
for the vindication of their policy nnd
ask for them the careful consideration
of the people.
In his Brooklyn spceiih Senator Hill ,
referring to the McU'lnk-y bill , said :
"There is no satisfactory evidence that
it has inct eased our prosperity in nny
degree or advanced the wages of a sln-
plo worklnpman. " Yet the sontitor ad
mitted that the country is prosperous
nnd that its industrial development has
increased since the piesuit taiifl law
went Into olTccU Like other democratic
leaders Mr. Hill pnys no attention to
the facts and relies upon unsupported
assertions. It Is much moro simple and
convenient than would bo the ollort to [
show even to a democratic audience
that the evidence of prosperity is in no
way duo to the tarill. It would bo a
dlllluult tnsl : for tiny democrat to at
tempt to prove that the growth of the
industries of New York und Massachu
setts during the year following the
adoption of the present tin Iff law , us
shown by the reports of the labor com-
ml&slonors of those states , was in no
measure duo to that law , hut In spite of
it. The relation of that legislation to
the Industrial progress lit those states is
so obvious that all but those who are
utterly blinded by their prejudices
against the policy of protection must see
it. Tlio cuultal employed in the protected
industries in Now York was greater by
about Sii,000,000 : in IB'Jl than in 1890 ,
and in Massachusetts the Increase in
the former ever the latter year was $10-
000,000. If this rate of Increase prevailed
in all the manufacturing states , and
there is no reason to doubt that it did ,
not less than 8100,000,000 moro wns in
vented in protected industries the year
after the passage of the McKinley bill
than the year before. Can any reason
able imin doubt the inlluenco of that
measure in producing this result ?
The plain truth Is , and the intelligent
voters of the country rocognixo it , that
the principle of protection as embodied
in the present tariff law , together with
the principle of reciprocity , have been
instrumental in increasing the business
of the country both at homo and abroad ,
and has most conclusively Vindicated
the republican policy. The tariff has
stimulated homo industries , which are
now employing moro capital ana labor
than they did two years ago , while re'
eiprocity has enlarged the markets for
the products of the farm. As to wages ,
the testimony of the report of the senate
commit too , approved by the democratic
members , and tlio reports of the labor
commissioners of NowYork and Massa
chusetts ) , Is a bufllclont answer to the
democratic nbsertion that the labor o
the country has not been benefited by
the tariff. General denials will not bo
effective in this campaign of education.
Bare assertion will not bo accepted by
the intelligent voters of the country
who are seeking accurate and trust
worthy information. "Tho day of Iho
prophet of calamity , " said Pre&idon
Harrison , "has boon hticceedod by tha
of the trade reporter. " The people demand
mand facts , and thcso the republican
party is prepared to give them in justl
fication of its appeal for thoiv support.
It invites the country to consider con
ditions rather than theories. In thi
respect It has a very great advantage o
its opponents.

Some interesting facts .concerning interest
torost charges on wublio bonded debts
are presented by the census bureau ,
showing a great decrease in the amount
of interest now paid and also a falling
olT in the rate. Leaving the national
bonded debt out of the account the av
erage interest rate has decreased during
ton years 0.88 per cent , nnd the average
interest charge on the aggregate bonded
debt has decreased O.U ! ) percent. It ap
pears that the decrease would have boon
much greater if the government had re
served an option on its -1.5 and 4 per
cent bonus. On account of a lack of
such opt.'ou many slates and cities are
also paying a high rate of interest. An
illustration of tins is furnished by the
city of Now York. In 1830 that munici
pality Hold $12,1)31,033 ) of longtime bonds
nt par or above , though they only boar
12.5 nor cent interest. Of the entire in
debtedness of the city $ 5,080,000 bears
7 per cent , $80,270,010 boars 0 per cent ,
317iS5.8'10 ! bears 5 per cent and n
largo amount 4 per cent. If those
largo sums could have boon refunded
into bonds bearing the low rate placed
on these of 183D an enormous Bum of
money would have been saved to the
taxpayers , but the option was lacking ,
so tlio high rates of interest continue on
the greater portion of the city's debt.
The same is true of the bonded debts of
other cities nnd states. If the right to
refund hud boon reserved the prevailing
low rates would make it possible to
vrtbtly decrease the interest charge ,
A financial writer In vho Now York
Comwfieuilm ? / < expresses the belief
that if all the bonded indebtedness of
the country could have been refunded
in 1890 at the best rates obtainable , in
bonds worth par in the market , tlio av
erage rates on the resulting indebted
ness would have been little , if any , in
excess of ! t,76 per cent , n reduction ol
one-tlfth of 1 per cent in the decade , or
an annual saving In Interest oir the debt
of $12.400,480 , by the reduction of the
interest rate ulono. These largo figures
ehow what advantages the capitulistt
have gained by holding bonds thai
could not bo refunded at reduced rate ;
of interest.
It appears from tho- report that bj
the reduction of principal , as well m
rates , the annual interest chnrcu has
been reduced during the decade $53 ,
010,409 , n reduction per capita of nearly
CO per cent. The Interest' charge 01

In vlow of the fact that election day
is only n month and n half distant it
would seem to bo high time for thodom-
icrntu who nrc discussing the tnrlff to
hold a general conference nnd try to
ascertain tholr bearings In relation to
this Important subject. "Where urn I
nt.V" is getting to bo a pertinent ques
tion for the democracy. Its leading
spirits nro not in accord upon the sub
ject of the tnrllT , nnd the open rebellion
\galnst the Chicago platform has bo de
moralized the party that it is now com.
mlttod to a larger assortment of views
upon this Issue than any party can em
brace and still remain sane. Wo are
pained to boo indications that the men
tal outfit of the Kansas City Times lias
already broken down under the strain.
It attributes the falling off In the repub
lican vole in Maine to the i eduction of
the tariff on lumber iiiul argues that this
proves that "tho tariff is the issue. "
Porhnps it does. This kind of tariff
reasoning is too deep for the tvvorugo
mind. There scorns tobcnsort of double
action about It that is confusing , to say
the least.
When Senator Hill made his speech
in Brooklyn Iho other night it was ac
cepted by the democrats generally as a
formal opening of the campaign , as if
the senator wore regarded , under all the
circumstance ! ) , as the ptoper man to
perform that Initial ceremony. But ho
annihilated the iiatloual platform of his
party. The only vital thing in that
platform ia the tariff plank , nnd Hill
would have none of It. The whole drift
of his tariff talk was against the free
trtido idea expressed in his party's dec
laration of principles. Ho wont as far
as the democratic state convention in
Connecticut ditl a few dnys ago in ropu
illation of free trade , though ho made a
thin pretense of standing upon tlio na
tional platform.
"Tho tariff , " says that able supporter
of Cleveland , the New York Sun , "is
about the finest thing for the democrats
to lot alone this year that the campaign
riftords. " And yet they cannot lot it
alone , for they have deliberately chosen
to make a fight upon that issue and
have absolutely nothing elbe to turn to.
Their situation calls for the commisera
tion of kind hearted people , and our
suggestion that a conference bo hold for
the purpose of finding out "where they
are at" is olforcd in a spirit of kindly
sympathy. _
DISPLEASED
It is not surprising that the mugwump
supporters of Mr. Cleveland and these
Now York democrats who fought Sen
ator Hill at Chicago and nro designated
"anti-snappers , " are displeased at the
shot which the senator fired nl them in
his Brooklyn speech. His declaration
that "thoro is no plnoe in honorable
American politics for the political guer
rillas who do not attach themselves to
cither of the great political armies , but
who , while swearing allegiance to nei
ther , criticise them both , and light first
upon ono side and then upon the other , "
while it delighted the hearts and minds
of the faithful , is said to have deeply-
wounded some of the so-called indecon-
dents , who it is but fair to say were
justly designated by Senator Bill.
There is a manifest determination on
the part of the regular democratic or
ganization in Now York to give the
mugwump element to understand that
its help is not desired , and this is the
significance of the thrust of Mr. Hill.
This element has always exerted moro
or less of an inlluonco with Air. Cleve
land. In the ourly part of his adminis
tration its wishes were moro potential
with him than those of democrats who
had never wavered in tholr fidelity to
tlio party , and since then ho has shown
a great deal of fondness for their bland
ishments. It is not doubted that ono of
the reasons for summoning- Cleveland to
New York two weeks ago was to got
from him an assurance that in the event
of his election ho would recognize as
having claim to his consideration only
democrats , and there is reason to believe
that such uti assurance was obtained.
The course of Tammany ninco that conference
forenco and the language of Sonutoi
Hill in characterizing the so-called independents
pendents as "political guerrillas , " war
rant the inference thut the candidate
has ngret'd to out loose from the mug
wtimps in cuboho IB elected.
What effect this may have upon the
vote of this clement SB problematical
Such is thu avarago mugwump's idola
try of Cleveland that probably very lev
of them will bollevo that he has ontoroi
into a compact with Tammany by whiol
that organization shall bo allowed U
control the federal patronage in Nov
York city if the next administration ii
democratic , but doubtless there arc
some whoso solf-rospcct will load then
to withhold their support from a party
ono of whose most prominent loader
approvingly characterizes them in
"political guerrillas. " In any event
however , it will make little dllloronci
us to the result. It has boon doniuiv
strutod that the election strength ot th
mugwumps has boon greatly ovorostl
mated ,

The Gorman people , during the last decade -

the imperial legislature , the opposition
to enhanced inUitnry grants has become
moro strenuous nnd bold , and popular senti
ment apnoars to bo so commonly averse to
"

cause for his fear that the Hclchstag will re

Now York Herald : Some of the Chicago
people are trying hard to blush over Diana's '
lack ot store clothes , but thus far the effort'
have booa a dismal failure ]
Kansas City Star : The Woman's Chris
tian union Is scancializeu bv the proposition
to place a statue of Diana upon the agricul
tural building at the World's fair. The point
U made that It would bo a disgrace to display
a nude figure in t > o prominent n place.
Now To pit Sun : What is most Interesting
in the human Cody , clad or unclad , is thi
spirit that animates It. What gives vnluo to
representations of the human boay in art is
largely tbo success of the artist In reproduc
ing that spirit. Whether the work Is mora
or not depends uot on Us draperies but on
ibo spirit that it expresses.
Buffalo Express : Now , . In the narao of al
that is cbasto and pure , wo ask those women
what they mean. They nro intellicent , they
are educated , and , without doubt , as true
-women tlioy love the beautiful. Is there
anything more beautiful that an artistically
constructed statue ) Is there anything im
modest in the representation in marble or
bronze of the curves and outlines of n
woman's llguro , even If that woman happens
to bo n heathen goddess !
Philadelphia Prosb. 1'ho nrnriont prudes
nt Chicago object to the reception nnd use of
the nude statue of Diana taken down fron
the AladUnn square garden tower in New
York nnd sent , to the windy city. The only
trouble with Diana was that she wns not In
harmony with her surroundings in Nou
York , her merit as n worn of art being un
questioned , but with her travels her troubles
began. Art In Chicago must ban curious
thing and Its devotees strange priestesses
when a weathervane , the only /null of which
is that It Is the female form' divine , is to bo
put in taboo. _

Noble liaa ro reived tlio annual report of the
procoeilincs of tbo Uuih commiuRton for the
year ending September 1 Inst , during wblch
time turoo sessions wore helii , ono ut Chicago
and two nt Salt Liit'ito City.
SpcaUlnp of political matters , tlm commis
sion snys thut it chance Is apparent In tbo
political situation In Utah , which , If prop
erly foitorod and honestly managed , will bo
productive of good results.
Considerable spnco in the report la devoted
lo a discussion ot the subject of polycnm.v.
The commission insists tbat polygamy HUH
'
exists , and thut tbero uro many case's con
stantly cominc to the public knowledge of
association between nolygatnists nnd the
plural wives they had confessed lo have put
awav is a fact that cannot bo controverted.
The commission says that llftoon mnlo per
sons uro believed to have entered into polyga
mous marriages during the last year , and
moro than 800 persons "who are known nra
believed to ba now'llviuif in polygamous rela
tions. It is not true , the report says , that
the commission has ever selected , knowingly ,
"n corrupt man , " n "known gambler , " or a
"disreputable character , " for a registration
or election oRlcer , nnd if by chance such n
person hat bean appointed it uns not vet
been broil cat. to the attention ot the com
mission.
December last the church authorities peti
tioned the president for a general amnesty
for tbo Mormon people In the opinion of tbo
commission , the report s > ays , it Is the tiiost Im
portant document that the church has yet is
sued , and contains the most direct and posi
tive statement of its desires and promises
for the future which bus yet come from that
source. Without assenting to ail the asser
tions of the appeal , the commission would bo
clad If the relief prayed for could bo granted.
That Utah Is ndvuDcinc on the plane of
progress the commission freely admits.
