Mr. Cleveland's letter of acceptance ia at last given to the public, after a period ot Incubation unparalleled In the history of presidential nomina­ tions, It cannot be said that he baa passed the long interval ot ninety six days sinoe the St. Louis convention to the best advantage, for the reader will find no evidence that he has added to the meagre store of knowledge on the subjeot of the tarlfl, which he display­ ed with so much confidence in the message of last December. And yet none of Mr. Cleveland's public utterances has shown signs of more laborious preparation. It be­ trays at every step an anxiety to per­ suade voters that he is as good a protectionist as any man need be. He denies that he bas entered, upon a 'crusade of free trade." and beg* the American people to believe that the existence of the protective system "is entirely consistent with the regulation of the extent to which it shall be ap- plied, and the correction of Its ab* buses." There are many other honeyed phrases wtth* which the President seeks to allay the alarm which has been aroused by the course of the Democratic pirty under bis dictation. Many of these are expended upon the laboring class, who do not need to be told, how ever, that due works will not butter their bread if free trade shall oome In force to force down their wages. But In spite of these efforts to con­ fuse the Issue the policy the President proposes insufficiently clear. It could net well be made otherwise. The President had taken a stand in the Deoember message which he could not retreat from without bringla ; univer­ sal ridicule upon himself and his party. The letter is, to ,all intents and pur­ poses, a reiteration of th&t message with a few bits of protection trimm­ ing. carefully cut out and basted en by the kitchen cabinet In the hope of catching the eyes of the unwary. There is nothing in It to change the issue as made up between the two great par­ ties, and nothing that will lead the country to regard the continu ance of the Democratic party in even limited control of the government as anything but a menace to the prosperity of. the country. - The Legislative Question. The Legislative question is still ag­ itating the minds of the voters of this District, and the question Is now being asked, "what figure, under the existing circumstances, will the Eighth District cut In the next Legls- ature." For State Senator, In the per­ son of Hon. Chas. £. Fuller, of Boone bo Senatorial Dlstrlctjiin the State will be better represented. He is a born leader among men, honest and (earless for the right, a staunch, sound end true Republican, and one who will ever carry the Republican banner to the front with honor te himself and his constituents. Such a man Is Hon Charles B. Fuller, and we are proud to give him our hearty support and to knew that he will represent this Senatorial District for the next four yean. But te It net equally neoessary that we be represented in the Lower House of oar State Legislature by able men? Men whe are not only capable of drawing up a bill to present to that body, but also capable of advocating Its passage? Is the fear of the party lash so strong that no one dare step ontslde of Ring dictation, not even to benefit the party and principles they advocate? These are pertinent questions at this time. The coming •easion ef our State Legislature bids fair to be the most important one held for many years, and we want no "good fellewBn or Mgood story tellers" there, but men of brains, men efinfluenoe. Mid men who are able to cope with the intricate questions of State that ensure te arise. Voters ef the Eighth Senatorial District, give this matter your careful and earnest thought. But six more weeks remain befen the election. It nmains with you to say whether er not you are to be represented, in part at least, In the Lower House. >• . THK MOSKI18IX THK HOC8E. I;/' $•"»>» Republican,: "I like the boy who hired his sister to make bis shirts," said a Republican orator at a political meeting in Maine the other evening. Some one said to the boy, ••you could have taken those shirts to the factory and had them made as wel< as your sister made them, and saved f9 on the dozen." ••Tee," said the boy protectionist. "Sister Sally got a good price, I know, but she always pays me well tor what I do for her. That *2 bill Is still under the same roof with me, and if sickness or trouble er hard luck oomes to any ef our family that money is there la the house." XT MEANS LOW WAOE8. Another Democratic paper comes out with some plain statements con cerning the great Issue of protection or free trade now before the people. Frank Leslie's Illustrated weekly, well-known as a staunch Democratic sheet, says: The vote for the reduction of duties involved in the Mills tariff bill, whloh is made a part of the Democratic platform, Is dearly to vote for a re­ duction of wages to all workingmen now engaged in making the goods and fabrics from which the bill removes the duties or upon which It lowers the Import tax. But when the effect of actual er threatened duty reduction to olose or shut down our mills and factories, as has been the case in some instances siready, then the working- man is thrown out of employment altogether. He is then compelled to resort to farm labor or street labor which Is poorly paid labor in all coun tries. He Is lucky If be gets anything to do at any compensation. Fortun­ ately, the working classes seem to un­ derstand perfectly the effects ef free trade. They know that the removal of all protecting duties would destroy four billions of capital Invested in home indastries, reduce the laborers therein employed to the level of pau­ pers and end In national bankruptcy and ruin. The American protection, whloh was In express terms recom­ menced by every President from Washington to Jackson, was originally understood to Involve protection to American labor and the encourage­ ment of healthy Immigration. Oen. Jackson, in his well known letter to Dr Coleman, of North Carolina,- dated April 26,1834, said: *'In short, sir, we have been to long subject to the policy of British merchants. It is time we should become a little more American­ ized, and, instead of feeding the pau­ pers and laborers of England, feed our own, or else In a short time, by contin­ uing our present policy, we shall all be rendered paupers ourselves," u Senator Chandler's nsolutiea for an Investigation of the last Louisi­ ana state election was called up the Other day and Senator Pasco made a feeble attempt to defend his party from some of the terrible charges made by Mr. Chandler. He thinks "that it is bad taste to stir up such things; they make hard feelings;' That's Just what the southern Senators ttsed to say many years ago, whenever Anybody referred to the horrors of •lavery. Such answers did not answer then, and they will net now. Every legal voter Is entitled te vote at every •lection, and to have his vote counted •--u© matter whether he live* In Hp* York or Louisiana, a M»Im to Twang Voter*. My son, you will cast your flr^t vote for President next November. I don't want to Influence your vote; I don't want you to vote for a certain man just because certain other men do. I want you to sit down and think about it before you vote. 1 want you to be able to give a reason for your vote. I want yea to go to the polls In good company. As a youn{ man of pfogres* slve ideas. I want you to be abreast of the world and shoulder to shoulder with the times when you walk to the polls. I want you, on entering politics to altgn with the party that has the purest and most progressive record. I don't care a cent, my boy, whether you are a Republican or a Democrat. There are honest men, patriotic clti zens, good Christians In both parties. Oaly I don't want to see you walk up to the polls and cast your first Cvote with the party-- Thatjipheld human .slavery as a Di­ vine institution; That bought and sold men, women and babies like so many mules ; That fired on Fort Sumter and the American flag; That for nearly five years fought to destroy the Union; That opposed the issue of greenbacks when the Government was fairly per­ ishing for want of them; That organizod mobs and riots to op pose the draft; That swept American commerce from The seas with armed privateers, That is the party of Boss Tweed and Jefferson Davis; That polls its largest majorities In the most vicious and ignorant pre- olncts; That Is strongest In the States where the percentage of illiteracy Is great­ est; That bas opposed every liberal and progressive measure Sin legislation during the last qu arter of a century; That was the defender of slavery; That is the defender of Mormonlsm; That slandered Garfield; and • That assassinated Lincoln! Now, as I have said before, my son, I don't care whether you are a Repub­ lican or a Democrat. Choose for yourself. Just keep aw<iy from the crowd whose record I have very brief­ ly outlined. Find the pirty to whom this record beloogs, and then forever keep away from it. Tou need net be particular with whifch party you unite, if you don't join that one. Always vote against that party, and you will always vote about right. I am a Re­ publican, but I will shake hands with fraternal love with any Democrat who votes against that record, That kind of Democrat is always a good enough Republican for me. P, 8 --I never found that kind of a Democrat. A Fable--The Free-Trade Ah. It was a careworn beast of burden, who had a long but narrow pasture on the highway, and he looked over'the fence and addressed a well-fed horse In a rich meadow: "My equine friend, open the bare and let me In and I will assist you la lowering the surplus." "A surplus does not worry me as mucb as a deficit would," remarked the horse, as he stowed away some ^moro clover. MBut look at the blessed law'of com­ petition, and how It would equalize the burden of mastication,'"Jtsald the stranger. "There Is no competition fabout remarked the horse. **I am In meadow and you are in the road," "But," remarked the stranger, "don't yoi think a few more feeders would stimulate buslnees?" "Without doubt, when the feed got short," slyly remarked the horse. "Well, but this fence was only a war measure, and now we are at peace, why not take*tt down?'* the ^stranger sighed, 'v The fence works tip top and the feed gets longer every year; jog along my friend." And the stranger picked another thistle In the road and moved along. He was a Free-Trade ass, with ears like a pair of cavalry boot legs. V'The Mills bill is only * Step towards an object that the Democra­ tic leaders have clearly In mind." The important question is not so much the length of the step as the direction of it." "The Republican party hoi Is that protective tariff is constitutional, wholesome, and necessary. We do not offer a fixed schedule, but a PrincU pie, We will revise the schedulei modify rates, bnt always with an In - telligent provision as to the elect upon domestic production and the wages of our working people."--Gen­ eral Harrison. 9*The folly of striking without good reason is shown by the experi­ ence of 2,000 briekmakers. who quit work In Chicago some four months ago. The places of the strikers were all filled after some delay, although some of the union men resumed work en the terms offered. The strike bat cost the men nearly a million dollars already, and they ar,e not yet pre pared to yield. Like the Burlington Strikers, they seem to think that there is still a cbance of gaining their point The butter market on the Elgin BSMkjrd of Trade Monday was steady.
