He has been a Democrat,but that tariff-free-trade controversy of the present campaign has opened bis eye«, B.e has come out boldly against the Democratic party, and gives his rea sons to bis fellow countrymen, as fol­ lows: "What Is it that the Democratic party of to-day Invites us to support by our suffrage*? They ask ua to tear down the American policy of protec­ tion and to uphold the free-trade poli­ cy of England. We are a laboring people. The free-trade laws of Eng­ land, which destroyed our * native In­ dustries in Ireland, deprived our beads and hands of the art and skill of manu­ facturing and sent us adrift upon the world as a race of unskilled laborors, the hewers of wood and drawers of water for people born under circum­ stances more benign. Intellectual force and the trading instincts have led a small proportion of us into pro­ fessional life; but the fact remains that 90 per cent, of us are wagework- ere. Our every Interest Is Identified with the industrial prosperity of this country. Our highest duty is to up­ hold that American policy best calcu­ lated to insure a full day's pay for a fair day's work; and yet it Is strange that the very men who oan be mostly relied on to uphold the policy of Eug» land in America are children ot the Irish famine exiles, who by that self­ same policy were driven from the home of their fathers. Worse than famine and rack-rents, worse than all save foreign rule, was the destruction of Irish industries by free-trade laws. A country devoted to agriculture ex­ clusively is a country already doomed; but a nation whose Industries are healthily diversified Is proof against famine and decay. Ireland, one year with another, produces more food than would ratten her population; but where there Is no diversity of industry there is no money to purchase food," Evansdi JSP*Hon. John Brennan, the elo- qoent Irish-American, of Iowa; says In regard to free trade: "I take it to be good policy for America to carefully listen to tbe advice of England, to the end that we may avoid doing the things which she would want us to 4e." No Irishman will ever forgive bUpself for being misled Into voting tM England wishes, aad very few of i&eai will be so misled^ Irishmen In country are as solid against free •s England and the solid sontb Facts for Third Party Men. An Open Latter to Dr. John A. Brooks. Pro­ hibition Candidate for Viee President- DES MOINES, Iowa, July 23*--Tbe Rev. D, B. Lucas, of this city, a prom­ inent clergyman of the Christian de­ nomination, and one of the foremost temperance workers of the State, has addressed to Dr. John A. Brooks the following open letter concerning the attitude of the third party men in the pending campaign. Mr. Lucas Is fully warranted in speaking for Iowa tem­ perance men, for be has done more to promote practical temperance legisla­ tion than any score o^ men who are now engineering the third party movement: DES MOINES, July 21,--Dr. John A. Brooks: There appears In some cf your reported speeches some things that appear to me to be, unfair to those Prohibitionists who do not look at this question as you do. You ^have much to say of "conscience votes" and "men of conscience," and such phrase* in which you assert that tbe Prohibi tionists who do not agree with your wild goose third party movement are not acting according to their conscien- cious convictions. As you and I an coworkers in the same church and acj Ing together religiously, it is a que to me when you be :ame tbe keeper the consciences of your brethren. YoU do yourself a gipss Injustice as well as others when you assume any such position, for certainly, where there are five Prohibitionists who will not vote your ticket tor every one that will, It comes with poor grace for one to charge tbe five with acting hypocrit­ ically in their decision. Now I have, as you well know, been a Prohibition­ ist all my lif i, and it Is not saylag anything In an egotistic sense if I say J have done as much for the cause of prohibition as you have. You have been in Missouri for many years where the Democratic party has been in a large majority, atgl you have" been a member of that party, and what have you done in that party or with your third party to get prohibition? Ab­ solutely nothing. I have been in.Iowa and a member of tbe Republican party and worked In that line, and with what result? We have. ONE OP THE BEST PROHIBITORY LAWS in Iowa that has ever been made and It is as well enforced as any other law. I have followed no ignis fatus of third party impracticability. You have. Now, what is the result? My State is prohibitory;yours is Qot, and yet, forsooth, because I can not conscienti­ ously follow your method that has proved a failure, and abandon my own that has proved a success, I am to tie accounted as lacking In conscience. Did you ever think, my * brother, that It Is possible you are mistaken, and that the beam may be in thine own eye ? Again we have 150.000 Prohibition­ ists In Iowa. Of that nnmber 149,000 will vote for the Republican ticket and 1,000 for your third party ticket. Allow me to suggest that it la possible that the 149 may be as wise and honest tbe one. It is true one may be wiser than 149, but It is not very good taste nor very good morals for the one to say that he 1s the only honest one. And what Is true of the State of Iowa is true the country over. As said before, you can not possibly hope to poll more than one-fifth of the actual prohibition vote for your ticket a<pd is It not possible that the four who refuse to vote It may be as wise and conscientious as the one who does? When you say they are net, you are violating one of the cardinal princi­ ples of the religion we both profess to ' Judge not thy brother." While I am at this matter there are a few other things to which I wish te call your attention. Tbe only States in which prohibition is maintained to- 4»yare Hopubllean States, and yet pfepMlfca party, and your leaden say that you have no hope of electing your ticket, but yott wlcb to defeat the Re­ publican party, s<*that the Prohibition party make lain Its plaoe In 1893. Very well, look at the result. Yoo BREAK DOWN PROHIBITION when tt Is already established, for you concede that the Democratic party is opposed to the principle, you make enemies of all men In tbo Republican party by your fight against them, and what is the result; you keep a free whisky Democratic party In power for a generation at least. But you begin to compare yourself to the Abolition party, but you have studied history to little advantage If you can see anything In that. If the Abolition party had continued on Its radloal ground what would have been the result ? Slavery would have been National to-day for If Abraham Lin­ coln had taken his stand on a platform of absolute abolition be would have beeu defeated and slavery would have been more firmly entrenched than over. So, tbe good sense of the people said, we will prohibit slavery In tbe Terri­ tories where we have jurisdiction and leave the matter to the States, and on this principle they won. So If Mr. Harrison had stepped on a radical pro­ hibition platform at Chicago he would have been defeated and whisky en­ trenched for a generation. But as he is on the common ground In favor of local government on the matter by tbe States while adopting the general principle of temperance in ail ways, or rather on anti-saloon ground, he will be elected and the great temperance reform will move on. Why can not you be as wise as the old Abolitionists who supported Fremont and Lincoln on a less radical platform taan tb;ey deemed exactly right. Yon may TALK OP CONSCIENCE and all that, but conscience without common sense Is only fanaticism in a Republic like ours. It troubles my conscience to think that the only ob­ stacle In the way of ultimate prohibi* tlon Is tbe utter impraciicallty of those who blindly put out a hopeless third party ticket to stop the progress of events to that end, Besides, your party is not acting on a .high moral plan. You confess that the Democratic party is opposed to prohibition and that you intend to oppose it after you have beaten the Republican party. When, my good brother, did you adopt the principle, we will do evil that good may come ? You will put the devil in power that you may fight him. Verily, if that is conscience, I am thankful I have none of that kind I will not burden you with the many inconsistencies of your opposition to the Republican party. Because the Republican party say that rather than break down the protective tariff sys­ tem, they would in a contingency re­ peal the tax on liquors, you abuse them or rather your spokesmen do, and call them the "free whisky party," whan in the very platform on which you 6tand there Is a declaration iu favor of the unconditional and Im­ mediate repeal of that tax. Does your conscience indorse such an Incon­ sistency? If It does I am happy to say mine does not. Believing as I do. that your move* nt Is an injury and a foe to the e of prohibition, 1 can only hope vote for the sucoess of tbe Re pub- can party. Wishing you success in all laudable work f«r tbe cause of righteousness, I subscribe myself very kio«Uy and fraternally your brother, D. R. LUCAS. en- J 1 ar^ 'o^P*cai Hon, A. J. Hopkins kept tbe Southern members to hot water for a couple of hours, who were interested In keeping up the tariff on rice. A running fire of questions which they seemed unable to answer showed that he had them considerably "stirred up." The question was on Mr. Hopkins* amendment to tbe Mills bill. That bill changes the present classification ot rice, and while apparently reducing tbe duty on that article, in reality would increase Its price to the consumer. Mr. Hopkins exposed the triokery ©f the new classification and declared that the profits of the rice growers are so great that they could standla large decrease In ttie rates of dnty. He show­ ed the sectional character of the bill from the fact tbat tbe bill provides for a high duty on rloe, a Southern commodity, while the agricultural products of tbe farmers of tbe North­ ern and Western States are, by the bill, placed on tbe free list. Uaited States Savings Bank. We are informed tbat a very strong financial Institution Is be In % organized in Topeka, Kansas, by Wm. C. Knox & Co., negotiators of real estate mort­ gages and loan brokers, who have had for several yeirs a flourishing savings department in connection with their loan business. This is nothing less than the United States Savings Bank, with a capital of •500.000. It Is tbe purpose of this bank, in addition to a savings bank business, to negotiate Wester n mortgages for similar institutions and private Investors in tbe East. Wm. C. Kaox & Co, have a capital of over $100,000, but this is insufficient to handle their loan and savings business most profitably. They have a large and valuable list of loan and savings customers which will be tnrned over to tbe bank. This bank, tn addition to its local business expects to become a central point where the large num­ ber of Western mortgagors can make deposits drawing a fair rate of Inter­ est, to offset the interest on their mortgages, and to pay them when due. We are confident that this plan is altogether feasible, and predict for the new bank a very prosperous ca­ reer. We understand tbat considera­ ble stock will be placed in the Eastern States among the customers and friends of Wm. C. Knox & Co-^my. iean Banker. • T? Duois promises to poll a larger |ote for tbe Republican ticket this fali than cvor before. While there have been mnny changes In the ranks of both parties in that section of tbe State, the change |n favor of the Republicans has been at least three to one. In Union county, lor Instance, tho Republican# have, for years, been so far in tho minority that they have bad no thought of placing a regularly nominated ticket In the field but this year thoy have had so many accessions to their ranks from the Democracy that a convention is talked of for the purpose of nominating a full county ticket. The vote in Perry county has boon very close, but the Republicans there Rre gaining ground fast, and the signs of the times indi­ cate a ro ising majority for the Na­ tional, Stato and county tickets in November, Ana so it is all along the Egyptian line. ^ >.'.,.^1 . Charles 8. Hltrgins. a very Inent and wealthy Democrat of Brook­ lyn, N. Y„ has abandoned the British free Trade Democracy. He says: "If Cleveland is re-elected it will be the greatest calamity that has <>vf r hap­ pened to this country. Hundreds of factories would have to close and thousands of men would have to begin life anew. I know six large manu­ facturers who, likfc myself, have been life-long Democrats, who will now work and vote against Cleveland." SPECIAL OFFER TO OUR HEADERS.
