ji WEDNESDAY. AUG. IT. 1892 VAN SLYKE, Editor. REPUBLICAN TICKET. NATIONAL TICKET.* FOB PKE8IDKNT, BENJAMIN HARRISON. FOR VICE-PRESIDENT, WHITE LAW REID. l®T Butter advanced a shade Monday On the Elgin Board of Trade, 12,660 lt>B telling at 24c the same as last week, and jb,600 at 24%c. The market was filrni,, - bids at the opening 22c and 23c. Total sales, f3 ,911; last year's price 23c. " WT"The parsiminous action of the ? Democratic Congress in relation , to the "k'< >•', World's Fair bill will cost them 10,000 I *totes in Cook county," said & traveling | -Inan last Monday. "By their acts they . have proven that they are not a Nation- ill party with National pride," and he is . - -%bout right. tST1 Has the McKinley bill robbed the farmer? Market quotation, Aug. 3, ML -' 1889, butter 14@15, eggs 14@15. Quo- 'j.' • tations for Aug. 8,1892, butter 23@24, eggs 15@£7. Sugar in August, 1889, 9 I % cents per pound. Present price, 5 cents. When a farmer is getting more for what lie sells and pays less for what he buys, K . ||i^, (san it be said he is being robbed by the Stealthy hand of protection? 19" The re-election of President Harri­ son is as logical an outgrowth from his ^administration as was his renomination. jj-, JNo good reason could be given why he r fchonld not be renominated and no good •'<' treason can be given why he should not ?toe re-election. On the other hand there . were a host of good and sufficient reasons why he should be re-nominated and the same good reasons hold in regard to his re-election. W When they commence, republican campaign orators will have a rare chance to do themselves credit. With nothing to defend or apologize for and everything for congratulation, with theories become I accomplished facts and market quota- Hums and trade statistics all supporting 'their arguments, it would be a poor speaker indeed who could not do himself credit to the republican side in this cam­ paign. All the forces of nature fight with them. ie~Thereis very little question but that In the National campaign there will ibe a solid array of states on the old lines , --republican and democratic policy. All ,v„ other parties are but side issues and will not cast a vote in the electoral college. ' It is the old fight; protection to Ameri- j&f, lean industries against free trade; good money versus fiat; honest elections as against fraudulent ones. The republi­ cans advocate the former; the democrats the latter, and a majority of the voters will endorse the one which is most likely to retain the stability of the .principles 4aid down by the republican platform.-- Whiteside Sentinel. l®*The Aurora Beacon calls on the authorities to enforce the law concern­ ing the selling of cigarettes to children It is a necessary Btep. The reckless way in which the youngsters, not only of that city, but all others, disregard the laws of health and decency by smoking these - rotten inspirations of evil, calls for rigid measures. The man of brains will not smoke them. The dude who may possi­ bly have been born with a little intelli­ gence but has outgrown it, puffs them • with intense delight. The boy with an } average stock of brain power will soon smoke himself into the condition of the dude or idiot if he continues the habit; and if he will not stop it of hift own ac­ cord he should be forced to by 'prevent­ ing the sale to him of the abominable auisance. < uroj n ri c sry and a years/tlyb te Pr^WtSi- BXDWBIJ/S BLOOD MOlIf. Career of the Gold Water Oftn<6dtt« for the Presidency General Bi<kreU, Prohibitionist candi­ date for President, says the Boston Journal, waa one of the original Cali­ fornia pioneers, and tradition has it that they were not exactly teetotalers. Bid- well had a big vineyard in Butte County. He raised grapes there, and they were wiue grapes. He had H winery still-house, and for twenty individual who now heads the tion ticket was next to the largest wine and brandy producers in California. It was in this business that he ac- cumlated the millions that will go to lurbricate the wheels of the Prohibition machine this summer. ' For the first time probably in all its history, the third party has a reformed distiller at its head. For General Bid well did reform. He re­ form to please his wife, and he now sells the products of his 150-acre vine-yard in open market, instead of converting them into spirituous fluids on his own premises, for what becomes of the grapes in other hands he does not consider that he is re­ sponsible. It is an inspiring or chilling reflection, according ae you look at it, that a big fortune gained in the wine and brandy trade is going to be used to pay the rent of f'rohibition headquarters, and hire Prohibition orators and Prohibition torch-bearers during the campaign. Some will like the notion. Other people won't. A SOUND STATEMENT. The following from an exchange is worth careful consideration as showing the mischief of parties where patriotism is subordinated to the effort to make party capital, where demairogism is used in place of reason. The true reason for the existence of parties and the limits within which they may properly act is well given as follows: But the worst of all fraudulent party countries is that which arraigns class against class, the poor against the rich, the people against the moneyed aristoc­ racy, the individual against the corpora­ tion. Justice knows no distinction of classes; and the end of the state is to { secure justice. Equity is not announced by howling mobs. Justice is not obtain­ ed by inflaming the passions. Any gov­ ernment is better than no government. Republicans and democrats alike have one common country. It is for the in­ terest of one party as well as the other to subserve the common interests. He is a political ignoramus who believes that either party consciously seeks their destruction. The aim of a political cam­ paign, nay, the very end of a democracy, is to get people to weigh and consider, and the safety of a democracy we may be sure depends upon it. Inflaming the passions of one class against another is the cheapest kind of political unwisdom, and there is an immense amount of it. The robber barons, the friends of Eng­ land, the giant corporations, the trusts and combines, the gamblers in options, the farmers, the workmen all arrayed one against the other; what are all these shibboleths but fraudulent party outcries against which Daniel Webster raised his powerful protest half a century ago. "Sir, I admonish the people against the object of outcries like these. I admonish every laborer in the country to be on his guard against such delusion. I tell him the attempt is to play off his passion against his interest/' The game of playing off passion against interest is going on and as long as it goes on there will be strikes and lamentable results For passion can pull down in half an hour more than interest can build up In a generation. Pitfcy, Pointed and Pertinent. Southern Democrats do not fear the much talked of "uegro supremacy" when the negroes vote the Democratic ticket, not even when that ticket owes its election to negro votes, as in Alabama the other day. r It is not strange that many Democrats are heartily ashamed of the plank in the Chicago platform which endorses wi'd cat hanking. " Oates, of Alabama, is hard on the workingmen in his report, which was re­ jected by the House committee and after­ wards published by him; but what else could be expected from the representa­ tive of a class which believes that men who work are inferior beings, entitled to no consideration whatever. While perhaps not willing to commit murder there are Democrats, and a good many of them, who would shed no tears if Urover would drop off, leaving Copper­ head Adlai at the top of the ticket. Secretary Foster's great Ohio speech is a plain, business-like statement of the finances of the Government, which can readily fee understood by any intelligent man. The wider circulation it is given the more Republican votes will be cast in November. One of the most encouraging signs of the campaign Is the nnpreoedentedly rapid growth of Republican clubs m every section of the country, excepting, of course, the most of the Southern' States. "Where am I at? "will soon have to be asked by Mr. Cleveland, if be does not let up" a little on his "fad." Democrats in the House allowed the World's Fair appropriation to go through in just about the same spirit that the average housewife gives a good potato to a tramp. lieet it should be forgotten ex-Speaker Reed reminds the country that it was the Democratic majority in the House, which made such a loud pretense of econ­ omy, that appropriated $22,000,000 in fifteen minutes,. Let it not be lost sight of that 74 of the 83 votes cast against the World's Fair appropriation when it was passed by the House came from Democrats and and the other nine from People's Party men. Already the question is being asked, "who killed the People's Party. Don. Dickerson was the originator of rainbow chasing in politics, and it was most appropriate that he should have been selected to be chairman of Mr. Cleveland's campaign committee. The tin-plate liar has apparently turn­ ed his attention to the sea serpent. • Cheese-parer Holman is evidently a failure in his favorite character of watch­ dog of the Treasury. The appropriations of the Democratic House were not in keeping with their often expressed fears of a deficit in the Treasury. They did thi^jr level best to turn these assumed fears into a substan­ tial fact. • in,'"n.y 1892. i f - - Wheelmen ! -it THE- -- MGHENRY - COUNTY XaOSZIffO iOVT t'm .t.gljjg!.'.'1 Commencing Au|̂ 1st, 1892, WE WILL MAKE A i-- • --r-JT; __ • ' «•_. •/>' . tt V - - In order to ©lose out our immense stock ot goods by the 1st of September, antf: in order to do so will give the following * DISCOUNTS ON OUR GOODI|; 20 per cent On Dry Goods, Boots and Shoes, Crockery and Notions. 25 per cent on Hats and Caps. 10 per cent on Groceries.

The good crops A and large prices are too much for the ca­ lamity waiters. South Dakota, it is re­ ported, will raise $40,000,000 worth of wheat this year. Corn stands fourteen feet high in the fields. Farm hands are in demand and receiving two and ^ three dollars a day and board. The I Wi we8teri» farmer stubbornly refuses to be- V K bad off on such a showing, 1 i? and although the administration has not -if brought sun and rain and great crops, it ^ has pereued a policy by which the most H can be realized out of these benefits of if;:: nature. The western farmer and men in p; all kinds of business everywhere do not want these conditions disturbed. Gen­ eral prosperity favors the continuance of * republican administration. E l:v Gaining a National deputation. +.• Congressman Hopkins has again dis- i tlnguished himself by his eloquent, logiCaJ, | practical support of the |5,0Q0,000 ap- I* propriation. Our M. C. is gaining a na- v tkinal reputation and there are few men li In Congress to-day as available as he for I & leader of the republican side. He is thoroughly practical, an earnest speaker : and a ready debator. His arraignment •> oI the democracy for its absurd inconsis- | tency and its treachery to the Fair si and to Chicago, was one of the most tell- | ing and conclusive arguments yet used I to overthrow the opposition --Elgin if. Constitutional Questions. If it is constitutional to appropriate money, as congress has done for the past thirty years for expositions in the cities of Europe, the effect of which is to take many millions of dollars out of the coun­ try, is it not equally constitutional to appropriate for an exposition in the United States which will .bring here thousands of visitors, and at least f 150- 000,000 to be spent for purposes of travel pleasure and busi ness ? If it is for the "general welfare" to en­ courage, by legislation, the exodus of Americans to Europe to spend there an­ nually at least $125,000,000, is it not equally for the "general Welfare" to re­ verse this practice? If to develop our foreign commerce it is constitutional to participate in the ex­ positions of Europe, is it not equally constitutional and inflnitely*more valua­ ble from a commercial standpoint, to in­ vite the outside world to come here and study our resources, arts and indus­ tries? Ii^it is constitutional to repeatedly ac­ cept and enjoy the hospitality of foreign nations at their expositions, is it not equally so, and more compatible with the public interest, to receive with a be­ coming hospitality the fifty-nine foreign nations which have already formally ac­ cepted the invitation to take part in our great national exposition next year?-- Washington Post. No Change Wanted. Speaking of Governor Fifer's Pekin speech, the Chicago Aews Record says that there is no element of cowardice in it. The Governor evaded nothing. Po­ litical strategists, men who are judges of the tactics, may And in the Pekin speech much that will be helpful in obtaining a re-election for the distinguished candi­ date. Sensible people will agree with the Governor that the interests of the wage- earners have been carefully guarded. All must admit that there is no likelihood that a democratic governor could easily do more than the present governor has done. Labor legislation went through both houses of the legislature at the last session with exceptional rapidity. Re­ publicans and democrats vied with each other and the governor signed every­ thing of this sort that passed. To Open The Campaign. Hon. Wb it slaw Reid, the Republican nomincefor the vice presidency, will open the campaign by addressing the Republi­ can League convention at Springfield on Thursday, August 18th. Hon. J. C. Bur- rough of Michigan, Hon. J. P. Dolliver of Iowa, Governor Fifer and others will also speak. All of the candidates on the state-ticket will be present, and the meet ing will be large and interesting. Manv of the Republican clubs of the stata will attend. Reduced rates will be furnished on the railroads. I^It is now as certain as anything in the future can be that the Hon. Whitelaw Reid will attend the Illinois Republican League Convention at Springfield Thurs­ day. There is no better living example of the possibilities for young men under the policy that has made this country great than Whitelaw Reid. From a poor boy working his way through college, up through the stations of country school teacher, country editor, war correspon­ dent, editor of the New York Tribune, and United States Minister to France, to the nomination for the second office in thegovernment, is the record of Mr. Reid, and the record of the typical American. The young republicans of Illinois are honored in having Mr. Reid come to their convention to make his first speech in the campaign. They should show him that they appreciate that honor.--Inter Ocean.

The next thing the country knows they will be claiming that Blaine and Watterson are to take the stump for the people's party. Judge Gresham denies that he intends to take the stump for the people's party. He is still a staunch republican. Wheaton Cillep at Comity Fair.
