Mr. Stovall is at present the tariff paramount to all other issues, lie is right, unquestionably- The Banner has all along advocated just this policy on the part of tbe Demo cratic party. . The sweeping tidai wave of Democracy last spring in the State elections; tne great spread of Alliance doctrines in this direction in the West, the consternation, has crept into the Bepnblican camp all over the country upon this issue- all this shows plainly enough that tariff reform is the issue of all issues for the Democracy to take up in the next congress. . Speaking of the free and unlimited coinage of silver,'Congressman Law- son is quoted as sayir g: I regard the free coinage of silver an important measure also, bnt of not sufficient importance, to justify the disruption oi the Democratic party in obtaining it. Both parties are seriously divided on this ques tion and it remains a delicate mat ter to dispose of. The welfare and safety of the people is dependent on the unity and integrity of the Dem ocratic party and scaicely any mea sure save the preservation of liberty itself, is of sufficient magnitude to justify such a persistent advocacy of its merit as to endanger the success of the Democratic party In the next national election. The signs of the times seem to indicate the complete success of that party in the event that wise counsels prevail in its man*, agement. To elect the next Demo cratic president the votes of New York. New Jersey and Connecticut will probably be needed, and in these States there is a large contingent of managing editor of the Augusta Chron icle. He is a courteous gentleman, one of the best editorial writers in the state and an excellent all around newspaper man. Mr. Robinson is a well known, popular and successful business man.

A ^TICKLISH JOB. That of Printing the Big Brooklyn !v l '.' r ; Registry List. New York, Nov. 3.—The managers of the Metropolitan Job Printing com pany are wondering, after an experi ence that they had, if.it pays to run a printing office. About- 800 compositors went on strike, althongh they were get ting full wages, and their action threat ened the company with a forfeiture of a bond of $40,000 for the completion of the printing of the Brooklyn registry lists. A timely order from Secretary Ferguson of Typographical Union No. 6. sent the men hack to their cases after they had bepn out an hour or so, but the managers were not at ease until evening, when the presses had rolled off enough work to make reasonably sure of the completion of the contract in time to save the bond. • This work is secured by competitive bidding. It must be rushed along. The company engnged 300 extra compositors to get it out as qu ; ‘kly as it wjis want ed. From tbe start the new composi tors seemed to understand that they were on special work and to appreciate the importance to the company of hav ing it done quickly. They began to de mand extra pay for rush work. The company yielded to'save dispute. The men proposed to work all night That meant double pay. The management would not agree to it, whereupon it be came evident that trouble was brew ing. r At 10 o’clock in the morning the crisis came when a delegation of the men waited upon the superintendent aifd de manded $3 per hour for the rest of the job. Their demand wa3 refuse! with the explanation that such wages for 300 men would leave the company witu a large loss on the job. The men threat ened to strike if they were not prom ised that pay. When the management again refused every one of the 800 laid down his stick and went out. A message was sent to the office of Typographical Union No. 0. Secretary Ferguson responded. After hearing the company’s story he went among the men. They persisted in their demands. Finding that they would not be reasoned with, Mr. Ferguson peremptorily or dered them hack to work. They re turned, hut many of them were so sul len about it that the managers were kept in a nervous condition all day. They felt $40,000 richer when the pack ages from the press room, piled shoul der high ia the office, showed that the work was moving along as planned. "This experience,” said Commodore Tooker when the danger had passed, "has nearly convinced us that it does not pay to take immense contract jobs with bond attachments —TuS’caprice of men who were well paid and who came to ns glad to get work might have ruined us. We will let big short time contracts alone hereafter, I think. ” . Will Get Sventy Cents. Boston, Nov. 3,—A member of the committee of the Associated banks ex presses the opinion that the depositors of the Maverick National bank will ul timately receive a dividend amounting to about seventy cents on the dollar. The possible insolvency of Messrs. Potter & French in view of the disclos ures connected with their arrest, makes I it doubtful if 100 per cent, assessment 1 to *be levied on the stockholders will yield anything on the 230 shares held by those gentlemen. This view of the situation corresponds with that held by 'hers who are posted in the matter. A l!i(f Strike Called Off.
