The banners around which voters will gather during the campaign will be those of Protection and Free Trade. The Republicans do not give much time to discussions of Civil Service Reform or Temperance. *And they are wise. No intelligent man Is going to cast bis vote for Grover Cleveland as a Civil Service reformer or a tem­ perance reformer against Benjamin Harrison. Some voters may clothe themselves in thesegarbs and cast their votes for Cleveland, but it will be be­ cause they are Free Traders, and their gauze wrappings of Civil Service re­ form, or temperanoe reforta, will be easily seen through. What has Cleveland done^to reform the Civil Service ? Nothing. Abso­ lutely nothing. But he has done his ifVel best to debauch and degrade It. His acts are too well known to need reviewing. Then, laying aside the protection of American citizens, what man, who is In earnest, and wishes re­ form in these matters, will vote/for Cleveland rather than for Harrison ? Don't place yourself in the ranks of the shams and frauds who call out for Civil Service reform while casting Ja Free Trade vote. What has been done in techperaace reform during the Democratic Admin­ istration of the past four years, or by the Democrats anywhere in the past fifty years? Any temperance reform which has succeeded, has been opposed by the whole Democratic party, or has succeeded by a non-partisan combina­ tion in which the Democratic organi­ zation had no part. Not one step during the thirty years since the Re­ publican party has become strong has been opposed by the Republican party, and it has always been a majority of It votes that have won the da?. But that party believes that it has no right as a National organization to prescribe a treatment to be adopted by all of the States, regsrdless of local prefer­ ences and necessities. This has been left to the party of each State. And in these States reform has been effected, if at all. by Republican votes. These are facts, and every Intelligent mai»in the nation grants them. And this is why, to the voter who wants reform in the Civil Service or In temperance, there can be no two sides. His eourse is plain here. The temper­ ance man or Civil Service reformer who votes for Cleveland^or so votes as to promote hia election, stultifies him self, and retards the cause thai he pro­ fesses to hold dear. This Is why there are no side Issues. The question be­ fore the voter Is plain: Shall the American oltlzen be protected? WBI WE DON'T LOVE HKR. Great Britain has ruined every country In the world which .she has persuaded or forced, says the New York Sun, into free trade. Her com­ mercial treaties, cozened out of Portu* gal, Spain, and Turkey, destroyed the industries of each of these countries, and made them poor. Her cheap goods crushed out the ancient household manufactures of the Indian empire which she overrao, and left millions of the conquered peoplejwith the bare subsistence of rice and water, A British army of invasion forced China to admit Into her territory the opium which British merchants could market only in that empireJ[and forced the entry through the custom" houses of China of British merchandizd at the destructive duty of two per cent, ad valorem. It was the massacre of the industry of a magnificent and venera­ ble empire, and of countless thousands of poor Chinese men, women, and child ren. These cheap goods pirates In like manner covered Japan with the guns of their war ships, and compelle i her to receive the flimsy products of Birmingham, Manchester, anA Shef­ field at the uniform duty of Ave per cent, ad valorem. That is free trade and It is strangling the life out of helpless Japan. The experience of Ireland Is too well known to need special mention here England, indeed, is the commercial pirate of the worl 1. She is now strain ing her utmost to rob the United States of its industries and get control of our market. If she succeeds, every workingman and workingwoman in this country will be brought to com­ parative poverty. You can't help los ing the high wages you now receive If you retain any work at all against the competition of the pauper paid labor of England, you will be compell ed by tbit competition to accept as wages precisely that pauper pay. Then perhaps you will love England more than you do now. Aooptmitg Poatitfaotora. Mr. E. Baadall. of Sandwich, 111., la the ChatjgHUMi, and Mr. F. T. Robinson, of Genoa, L«V»1A the Secretary of the Democratic Central Committee of De- Kalb County, 111, As we learn front the Free port Journal, these gentle­ men have been sending out letters to ooilect funds with which to carry *o« the Democratic campaign In Illinois during the.next four months. Federal office-holders have been called upon for their share In this cra«ade. One of these letters was sent io Mrs. C.: Ellis, of Kirkland, III., not long since, and contained the following: As Chairman of the Central Commit* tee af DeKalb County, I am called upon by the State Central Committee 5 to collect the share of this county to! be applied to the assessment made up­ on the Fifth Congressional District.*' A large amount or this assessment will be raised by Individual subscriptions; and on the other hand I am requested by the State Committee to solicit assistance from all Federal office­ holders in the county. Ttyts fund when raised will be uud In the interest of the Democratic Campaign In the Stato, /have made a similar call upon all the postmasters in the county, appor­ tioning the amount asked for to the salary of the office, or the commission it pays in case it is not a salaried offi JO and have in every such oase mentioned the amount of contribution expected* This information will be of ioterost to President Cleveland, to the Civil Service Commission, to Mr. Georgd William Curtis, and to all others who have contended that there is no such thing as a political assessment of Fed­ eral office-holders uuder Mr. Cleve* land's administration. This goes dowa to the smallest postoffice In the State, as it reaches those that have no salary but have only a commission, and they are all prorated, Now, it will scarcely do to deny this, nor to say Mr, E. Ran* dall is not responsible to any one. be* cause Mr. E. Randall clearly statel that as "Chairman of the Central Com­ mittee of DsKalb County, be is called upon by the State Co nmittee to col­ lect the share of this county," etc., and the notice of assessment follows en­ tirely under the supervision of the State Coihmittee. Besides, other postmasters and postmistresses have received similar notice of assessment. -Inter-Ocean.

PRINCETON, 111., July 20.--A change in the tide of prohibition is taking place in Bureau County channels. Already the names of thirty persons who voted for St. John in 1884 have either joined, or signified their inten­ tion of joining, Republican clubs { and among the number is the Rev. M. L, Averell, of Maiden, (Who has reached the very sensible conclusion to which the Rev. J. H, Lozier, of Iowa, recent­ ly gave such forcible.utterances, name­ ly, that every vote given to that party is a half a vote for the continuance of the Cleveland dynasty and the strengthening of the whisky power, with all that ballot-box crookedness and moral corruption Implies. Among the Greenbacfeers who have returned to the party, Dr. Hopkins is the most prominent personage; and from the Democratic ranks we shall get at least one hundred votes in the county, not to say anything about Spring Valley, our new mining town, which is a new factor In our local poli­ tics and as yet of uncertain quantity. At the Bada machine shops, recently enlarged, the workmen at .that place have nearly all Joined the Republican club at that place, and subscribed money to orgaiize a marching club, making *bout twelve such clubs In the county already. Such is the outlook of the party in the county to-day. Big D«u»o£f9tl!C Bias.
