PEOPLE’S PARTY PAPER, ATLANTA, GA., NOVEMBER 27, 1896.
THE NEW CONGRESS
Will Have 36 More Members
Than the Last One Did.
REPUBLICANS IN TSE LEAD.
The Sliver Increases In Congress
Given by States Shows The
Growth of the Cause.
Washington, D. C., Nov. 21,
Matters are pretty well settled as to
the complexion of the next House of
representatives. In the first place,
the make up of the next congress
shows Democratic gains. Fall returns
From all the States shows that the
Democrats have made congressional
gains as follows: California, 1; Colo
rado, 2; Delaware, 1; Idaho, 1; Illinois
1; Indiana, 3; Kansas, 1; Michigan, 1;
Kentucky, 1; Missouri, 6; Nebraska,
3; Ohio, 4; Pennsylvania, 1; Tennes
see, 2; Utah, 1; Washington, 1; total,
30. The Populists have gained votes
in California, 2; Illinois, 2; Indiana,
1; Kansas, 4; Michigan, 1; Missouri,
1; Montana, 1; North Carolina, 3, and
Washington, 1; total, 16. The Ke.
publicans gained three congressmen
in Maryland, one in Virginia, one in
New York and one in Louisiana,
total, 6, The net Democratic gain
of votes, therefore, in the next con
gress is twenty-three; the net Popu
list gain is fifteen, and the net Re
publican loss thirty-seven. Utah’s
representative adds one more to the
total number. But two gold Demo
crats were elected, and the net gain
to the silver men, therefore, combin
ing both Democrats and Populists, is
thirty-six. One of the Republicans
elected in Now York is James J.
Belden, an independent, who defeated
the regular nominee, but who is
withal a staunch Republican.
Gsorge W, Murray, the colored
Republican member from South
Carolina, has been defeated again by
Colonel William Elliott. A contest
may again be expected, since he was
successful last session. George II-
White of the second North Carolina
district whose election will be ques
tioned, is also a colored man.
Following is a revised table of
congressmen by States:

In Praise of the Holy Inquisition
The Alt-Katholische Velksblatt, a
German paper devoted to the inter
est of the so-called Old Catholics,
who deny the infallibility of the
Pope, offers its readers something
rather novel at the end of the nine
teenth century. It is a translation
of an article in praise of the Inquisi
tion and its tortures, from the Ana
lecta Eaclesiastica, a Roman publica
tion edited under the special super
vision of the Fatican. The writer
of the article, Father Pius a Longo
nio, des tribes all those who condemn
the Inquisition as “sons of darkness,”
and glorifies the memory of Thomas
Torquemada, the Spanish Grand In
quisitor. lie says:
“No doubt the sons of darkness
will roll their eyes and grind their
teeth when they read this, and they
will talk of medieval intoleratioa.
But it is useless to answer them. It
is mnoh better to demorstrate that
Llorento and other historians of the
Inquisition are utterly in the wrong.
It is clearly proven that the Catho
lic historians are neither liars nor
dreamers when they assert that there
were apostates in those days who
secretly favored Judaism and worked
for its advance, while outwardly they
pretended to be Christians and even
wore the garb of the priest. The
laws of the church and of the state
therefore justly opposed them.
Wolves should remain with the
wolves; when they enter the fold in
sheepskin., they must be driven out
with fire and sword. Far be it from
us to follow the lines of befogged
liberalism, and to fancy that the Holy
Inquisition needs to be defended-
Neither the rude ways of those times
nor the blind zeal or the stern char
acter of the priests need be mention
ed in defense of our Holy Mother
the Church. We need no sophism.
The happy watchfulness of the Holy
Inquisition preserved, in Spain and
elsewhere, religious peace and that
firmness of faith which is to this day
the glory of the Spanish people. O
blessed fl lines of tho stake! Through
them a small number of very cunning
people were removed, but thousands
upon thousands of legions of souls
were preserved from the pit of error
and thus from everlasting damnation.
Society was saved, and the country
freed from the danger of civil war.
Honor to the memory of Torque
mada! He decreed that Jews and
infidels should not be forced into
baptism, but he also managed to pre
vent the spread of Judaism and apos
tasy among the baptized people.”—
Translated for the Literary Digest.
Popular majority does not always
mean an election, as was noticeable
when Mr. Harrison was elected as
President, instead of Cleveland, in
1888; but it remained for McKinley
to receive the largest plurality ever
given to any candidate for President.
When Grant beat Greeley in 1872
his plurality reached the then unheard
of number of three-quarters of a mil
lion. McKinley has the million in
big, round numbers, with more votes
to spare than Mr. Cleveland’s plural
ity over Blaine. Following is a com
pilation from election returns, show
ing popular pluralities since 1824 :
IE AB. CANDIDATES. PLURALITY.
1834 —Jackson over Adams.... 44,804
1828—Jackson over Adams.... 139,212
1832 —Jackson over Clay 157,313
1830—VanEuren over Harrison 27,027
1840—Harrison over Vanßuren 145,914
1844 —Polk over Clay 38,181

1884—Cleveland over Elaine. . 23,005
1888—Cleveland over Harrison 100,475
1892—Cleveland over Harrison 380,961
1896 —McKinley over Bryan'. . 1,048,500
Another Example for McKinley.
Mr. McKinley in his letter of ac
oeptauco declared the Wilson law to
be a failure, among other reasons,
because its duties do not cover the
difference in the labor cost between
this country and Europe. We have
already shown that in the great in
dustries of pig-iron, steel rails and
cotton cloth the existing duties are
more than the entire labor cost. Here
is another example:
The fifty-eight stockholders of the
Window Glass Trust have been pro
tected by a duty on foreign imports :
PEB CENT.
In 1860, revenue tariff 15
In 1801, war tariff 80
In 1884 Republican Commission
Tariff 120
In 1890, McKinley tariff 132
In 1896, Wilson tariff 101
The price per half box (18x24) in
this country was S3.<JO in 1860 and
$3.13 in 1890. The trust kept tho
price steady. The foreign price of
our imports was in 1890 per half box
SI.BO, and we imported 19,097,057
pounds, for which we paid:
The foreign cost $343,550
The Custom-House duty. 452,605
So that to the original cost of the
half box of SI.BO there should be
added a fine of $2.35, making a cost
to land of $4.15, so that the trust
could market all it made at $3.13. It
would have sold at all at $4.12 but
for a trust quarrel.
A duty of 10 per cent more than
covers the labor cost on molting :
UNITED STATES BELGIUM.
Raw mater’l 547.53 Raw mater’l 148.44
Labor cost. 19.96 Labor cost . 14.51
AddlOpr.ct. 6.29
Total *07.49 Total *69.26
The additional $76.82 was the
“fat” of the trust under the McKinley
bill. This “fat" has been reduced to
$60.74 by the Wilson bill. Does Mr.
MoKinley really think that this
bounty should be increased? He had
the People’s opinion on it in 1890
and again in 1892.
An illustration of the proverb that
it is an ill win i that blows nobody
good occurred the other day in In
diana. A whirlwind visited the De
catur section. It gathered all of ths
corn off several farms and deposited
it on the land of one man. This man
refuses to give it up unless it cm be
identified and ownership proved by
the parties claiming it. The claimants
have begun a law suit to recover
their property. There is immediate
demand for a Solomon at Decatur. —

UNDER FIRST NAPOLEON.
One of the Last Survlvers of
Waterloo Dies.
I From Harper’s Round Table.
Most of us nowaday when think
ing of the Napoleonic wars, consider
them as a part of the remote past>
and it is difficult to realize that there
may be people still living who took
part in the battles of Marengo, Jet a
and Waterlooo. But all of Napol
eon’s soldiers are not yet dead, and
one man who fought under the great
French general is said to be living
now near Cleveland, Ohio. Whether
that is true or not, it is a fact that
only recently one of Napoleon’s old
warriors died at Soldiers’ Home,
Kearney, N. J.
His name was Henry Muellier,and
he was born in Germany in 1794,
and when the French armies invaded
Prussia Mueller was fifteen yearg
old, with many of his compatriots he
was dratted into the grand army and
marched off to Russia to fight the
Cossacks and the cold. He was at
Moscow, and tramped all the way
back in the disastrous retreat, suffer
ing untold tortures and seeing his
fellow soldiers fall in the snow at
almost every step. But Mueller
kept up, and lived to get back to
Germany and to fight at the battles
of Ihutzen, Leipsio, and finally in
the great battle of Waterloo.
After Napoleon had been captur
ed by the British and sent to the
lonely island of St. Helena, and the
great armies of Europe had been
disbanded, Mueller took ehip and
sailed to the United States, Not
long after his arrival in this country
the Seminole and Mexican wars
broke out, and the old spirit of the
soldier was reawakened in Mueller
and he went again to the front, this
time wearing the American uniform
and fighting for the American flag.
So much warfare had now made a
confirmed soldier of the German, and
so when tho war of the rebellion
broke out iu 1861 he again took up
his musket and fought through the
entire war.
One of the most remarkable things
of all these exderienoes is that Muel
er was never seriously wounded, and
managed to keep himself in such
good health that he lived to be over
100 years old, and spent his last
days in peace and comfort in the
soldiers’ home; smoking his long
German pipe on the lawn under the
trees, and telling of his own personal
experiences, which, to most of us,
are part of a very remote history.
The “Home-Market” Bunco.
Mr. McKinley, in his speech of ao.
ceptance, promised the farmers that
they shall again have the prosperity
of a “home market” if they will once
again vote to “protect” the mills.
We have an object-lesson in this
close at hand. New Jersey "had for
thirty years the full benefit of“home.
market” prosperity. It is but the
kitchen garden for the great manu
facturing cities of New York, Brook
lyn, Jersey City, Newark, Trenton
and Philadelphia. It is the agricul
tural heart of the manufacturing cen
tre of the Union. Its capital invest
ed in manufactures within the State
has increased from $40,521,048 to
$250,805,645. Its assessed wealth
has increased from $296,000,000 to
$893,000,000. And here is what
“protection's home market” has done
for the New Jersey farmer:
