Uoforo sugar was nut on the free list
by a republican congress the annual con
sumption was CO pounds per capita. It
Is now nearly 70 pounds , and according
to well-Informed authority Is steadily In
creasing. The probabilities are that at
no very distant period the annual per
capita consumption will reach 100
pounds. A writer on this subject f > ays :
"By the closd of the century our popu
lation will no doubt bo 80,000,000. If wo
then consume 100 pounds nor capita our
consumption will bo 4,000,000 tons , as
compared to a consumption of 50 pounds
per capita for 03,000.000 of people In
18)0 ! ) , or 1,570,000 tons , an addition to the
carrying tradoof the country of 2,430,000
tons of freight. ' ' The saving lo con
sumers In the meantime amounts to
many millions of dollars annually.
In addition to this , frco sugar was the
entering wedge to open to IH the enor
mous trade of tlio West Indies and South
America. It has reopened to us the con
tinent of Europe for our pork products.
An enormous and rapidly Increasing
consumption of sugar glvos this country
a most valuable influence with all sugar
producing countries. Free sugar , with
a small bounty to the homo producer ,
did not advoMoly nlTcct iv single Indus
try In the United States. It was a bless
ing to every family in the land , without
a single drawback.
The ad voo lies of so-callod tariff reform -
form are not tavorablo to frco sugar.
Some of thorn have had thu courage to
so declare tlioimolvus. But whether
they do this or not It would bo impossi
ble lo Institute huuh a tariff policy as
the democratic p irty proposes and re
tain sugar on the free list. If the dem
ocracy should obtain control of the gov
ernment and carry out its ulivn of ItirilT
reform as it has been.otitllned by Mills ,
Springer and oliior part.y loaders , sugar
duties would bo indispons.iblo to provide
the treasury with nouesaary rovor.uo.
The democratic party is also opposed to
any bounty on sugar , and this provision
for encouraging the homo p-odtietion of
sugar would bo abandoned as soon as
Iho parly gel into power. A. restora
tion ol the duties on sugar and the with
drawal of all encouragement lo Iho
homo production of that article would
certainly bj among the consequences of
democratic control of the irovernment ,
with Iho inevitable result of increasing
the price of sugar to Iho consumer.
The bunelicial olTccts of republican
legislation placing sugar on the free list
are clear and unmistakable. Not only
is free sugar the basis of our reciprocity
treaties with sugar producing countries ,
but it has saved to the people what was
n direct tux of moro than 351,000,000 an
nually. At the same time the inoi'orato
bounty on sugar of home production has
created an industry already of consider
able proportions , and which there is
every reason lo believe will grow lo
largo proportions if the encouragement
bo not withdrawn. Assuredly the Amer
ican people do not desire this legislation
swept away and a return to the old state
of tbings , but they may expect it if the
democratic party is successful at the
coining election.
iv sornrsui \
II is roileratcd with tiresome persist
ency by the democratic orators and press
that this country wants n change of nd-
minlbtrativo policy , and yet , curiously
enough , the men who are so deeply
stirred by Iho force of Ihoir conviclions
on this subject appear lo bo entirely unable -
able to explain , upon iiuy substantial
basis of facts , why such a feeling of dis
satisfaction and such u longing for demo
cratic ascendancy should exist. Does It
really exist at all , and if so , why V Cer
tainly not beciuso the condition of Iho
people la so dosperalo that they are prepared -
pared to embrace vague promises of bet
tor government that are founded uoon
nothing more tangible than the assertion
thai the protective taritT is a system of
robbery. Even if this assertion were not
plainly at variance with facts thai are
daily before Iho eyes of the public it
would not bo accepted by thinking men ,
for it does noi appeal to the reason.
Even the democrats lliemsolves take it
with Mich modilicallons as suit their in
dividual consciences , and it isdillicult to
find two members of that party of any
prominence who uro at all agreed as to
what kind of tariff legislation the
country needs. No doubt exists in the
mind of any thoughtful man , however ,
that the elevation of the democracy to
power would result in the triumph of the
free Irado element. That element con
trolled the Chicago convention and it
would control the legislative and execu
tive branches ot the government if the
democrats should gain Iho power which
they are now seeking.
The question that the democracy has
boon nbkod over and over again to
answer is this : Do the people want u.
change ? and : f so , why ? Testimony
from all sources is uniformly to the
effect thut the country is prosperous tea
a oecrrCH never before Known , and that
in every department of netivily Iho
people nro in bolter condition ns to
business , wages , the cost of living and
everything else than they ever wore
before. While such a state of things
exists it devolves upon these who are
do in mi ding ji change to glvo the best
and most convincing reasons therefor
or elbe rctiro from the controversy and
coauii to worry the public mind with
idle and empty talk.

Mil. JJM/.VW 0Y HRCWHOCnr.
In his magazine article on the issues
of the campaign , ex-Secretary Blalno
gives consplcuojs consideration to reci
procity , of which ho remarks that
"there Is no hubjoot with which Iho
party of free trade atrugglos moro des
perately. " When the democratic party
tries lo discredit this policy It cites the
fact that our exports to Brazil have not
been very greatly increased under it as
evidence Hint it is a "sham and a humbug -
bug , " although , as Mr. Blulno Bays , the
narrowest treaty of reolproulty th.it was
negotiated with any country was with
Brazil. It is a country in which time is
especially needed to change the lines of
commerce , and thuro is good reason to
expect Hint ultimately Brazil will show
as goad results , proportionately , us an
other country ,
Mr. Blulno points out thut the op
ponents of reciprocity , "with thn wis
dom of the serpent , " never refer to re
sults with the Leeward and Wind ward
islands , tiftecn in number , Jamaica and
\ _
Barbndocs , with which our whola deal
ing It in agricultural products , and
which consider themselves , tsomtnor-
daily , almost a part ot the United
Stales. Nearly every dollar expended
by these Islands for agricultural pro
ducts comes to this country , so that by
moans of reciprocity wo have secured
this considerable number of people to bo
nnmnlly supplied from the products of
our farms. Equally careful Is the dem
ocratic campaigner not lo summon
Cuba lo boar testimony to the worth of
reciprocity. The fact that during Iho
pnsl year our exports to that Island in-
croassd 05 per cent confounds him. The
statistics show that for the first half of
ISOU the exports of Hour from Iho
United States to Cuba amounted lo 337-
000 barrels , against 14.0UO during the
same period of 1SI. ! ) Undoubtedly the
trade movement of next year will show
sllll larger gain * . Cerlulnly thoio is no
"almtn" about these figures , and hence
Ihoy are never quoted or referred lo by
democratic opponents of reciprocity.
Another Important point to bo consid
ered is that by this policy wo are en
deavoring lo increase our trade in the
right direction. While fora series of
Europe has boon in our favor , the trade
balance with Spanish America has an
nually boon largely against us. loci- ?
procily is Iho llrsi attempt at u change ,
and it has already reduced the adverse
balanoo to an appreciable extent. "If
supported and encouraged , " says Mr.
Blninc , "reciprocity will bo the moans
of greatly lessening what has so long
been an enormous balance against us in
Spanish America.1
The fact that England , Germany and
Franco have manifested great anxiety
regarding the success of this Americana
policy and have made earnest efforts lo
dcfeal it is pretty conclusive evidence
thai il is a good policy for the United
States to adhere to. There Is no class
of the people BO much interested in
.maintaining reciprocity as the agricul
tural clas9 , and if there were nothing
lo involved in the presidential election
this would furnlbh a sulllciont reason
why the farmers bhould support the
republican ticket

One of the oldest cities in the United
States is Philadelphia and it is generally -
ally believed to bo the slowest of all
American cities. But , according to
figures { jivon in a recent census bul
letin , the industries of that city were in
creased in number from 224 in 1880 lo
289 in 1SOO , the number of establish
ments increased 8,667 in 1880 to 18,148 in
1890 and the capital invested increased
from 5187,1-18,857 in 1880 , o $302,895,272 in
1890. During the same period the num
ber of hands employed increased from
185,527 to 253,073 , the amount of wages
paid increased from $04,205,903 to $132-
438,208 ; the cost of material increased
from $199.155,477 to 8302,023,539 and the
value of the product from $324,342,935 to
$ .504,323,702. In the ctccndo for which
these comparisons uro made the popula
tion of the city of Philadelphia in
creased from 847,170 10.1 040,904 and the
assessed valuation increased from $581-
729,759 to $974,338.294. while the munici
pal debt was greatly decreased. The
average annual wsijics in the city of
Philadelphia increased from 531G in
1880 to $529 in 1890 , an increase ot 52.89
per cent
If we leave out all other considera
tions the increase in the wages of men
employed in Philadelphia should com
mand attention. It appears that in ten
years the wages of men employed in in
dustrial puisuits in that city have in
creased nearly fi3 per cent. It is not
difficult to account for this. Whore
business increases the w.igos of em
ployes must bo advanced. It is clear
from the figures above given that there
has been a wonderful growth in the in
dustries of Philadelphia and that the
wages of employes have been corre
spondingly increased.
This Is only ono example among thou
sands. All over the United States the
same story of increased business and im
proved wages Is told. There can bo no
doubt in the mind of any rational man
as to the cnuso of this prosperity. It is
duo lo Iho policy of protection to home
Industries. The free traders nay that
the people are being robbed by the
tin iff , but so long us business increases
and wages constantly grow betlor there
will DO a strong protective sentiment
among the peoplo. The statistics above
given are confined to a single city , but
they mav bo taken as representing the
growth of Industrial enterprises and the
increase of wages in every city in the
United States. If an old and slow city
like Philadelphia can show an increase.
of moro than 5' ) per cent in wages in ten
years the young cities of the west can do
boiler.
WEAVisit was defeated in 1883 for congress -
gross in the Sixth Iowa district by J. P.
Lucoy , the republican candidate. Thin
year Lucoy has baon again nominated
and his opponents are White , democrat ,
and Owens , populist. If Weaver was a
sincere man he would aid Owens all ho
can , but ho is so angry nt Lacey because
of his defeat four yearn ago thut ho has
advised all the populists of that district
in an open loiter to vote for Whito.
Owens was regularly nominated by a
regular people's party convention and
Weaver's refusal to champion his cnuso
stamps the populist lender as a man
destitute of principle and displays him
in his true role of assistant-democrat.
Will Mrs. Lease explain Weaver's c"on-
slsloney ?
IT was unkind of the workingmen to
refuse to listen to Mr. George Washing

Browstor has a stereotyped greenback

Through the influence and otTorts of our

.Building associations are enjoying a
tremendous boom in Chicago , both iu num
ber and business.

ship. Ho points out the necessity of having

A glance at the election history of New
York reveals some interesting facts. None
of the presidential or stnto pluralities below
Harlem since tbo republican partv sprang
into existence have bcon great onouch to
overcome that of President Harrison ubovo
except the gubernatorial vote of Cleveland
and Hill tlio lir.it caused by a republican
bolt and tbo second , almost infinitesimal ,
attributable to the liquor voto. Neither
are considered by the Washington titiu' In
weighing the cbaucos of a presidential elec
tion , as both were the result of extraordinary
causes not now operating. Thi test vole In
ISbS was thnt tor the presidency. It will bo
noted that Mr. Cleveland's total vote for
governor in 18S2 was less than Hancock's for
president in 188'J , yet Cleveland's plurality
reached the wonderful liguro of 10J.654 in
the state , wbilo Hancock : lost It by
21,033. In 1SS2 the republicans
revolted against machine methodsandsimplv
declined to go to the polls. Cleveland's total
for governor was 115,020 los than President
Harrison's total in 1S8S. The next lareust
plurality below Harlem was that cast foi
Governor Flower in 1891 , which was 79,001 ,
out of a total of only 432.89'J , over 41,000 less
than the total of the live counties In IbSS ,
which was 477,005. The plurality of Mr.
Fassett , the republican candidate for gov
ernor , was smaller than ever thrown above
Harlem In a presidential year since 1S5U.
being only 31.001 , orC4,000 less than thnt ol
General Harrison. Governor Flower's ny-
pregatn vote in the state was over fiH.OOO 1 (
than Mr. Cleveland's , and yet Flower x\
elected uy 43'JUT plurality , while Cleveland
was dsfonted by 14iTt : : plurality. 1'rosldont
Harrison's vote would hixvo defeated Flower
by 20,000 plurality.
To make some of these points moro clear
the acgrecato vote of the two sections sop
uratoly lor both years is given , with the
falling off In each.

The moro tbo forogomg llguros and these
following nro studied the moro apparent It
hacomos that the stav-at-homa vote of the
state of Now York Is always moro largely
republican than democratic , uor only in the
country , but also in the citlns , A com
parison of tbo official democratic and repub
lican votes o ( 1SSS with that of IB'.H will
priatly aid tbo reader in forming bis con
clusions :

Another fnct made evident hv those figures
Is that tbo democratic vote of Now York nnd
Brooklyn can bo depended upon under nearly
all clrc'imstnnccs , while the republican vote
of the up country is very fluctuating and un
certain , dependent liugcly upon the candt-
dutn. With n urood candidate It pours out in
overwhelming" . The variations In
pluralities can no' , bo claimed as knowing any
marked ouango of political sentiment In the
state ; tbev mcrolv oniolmslzo the fact that IIP
Is moro dllllcnlt to organize and gut out the
republican than the aemocratlc vote becauau
it Is moro scattered nnd that the republicans
ure only aroused to united nctinn by some
paramount issue like tbo presidency. The
Now York democratic leaders fully under
stand this indifference of Ibo country repub
licans to minor issues and that is ibo reason
why they always concede thu Rlato to bo a
doubtful ono lu n presidential year.
