OIAHKOARD OP HOI.RMN PI-BOOK*.
Tim iisuo in thin ostnpuiga ii thu Ro-
publicin record of the test four yean.
It is » very bsd record. It la a record
of wrong-iloiug, of unfair favoritism in
legialntion and of scandaloua misconduct
in administration; a record of reckless
aquanderinsr; of the ileliauchmcnt of the
public service; of corruption in offi’.e
end in getting oiHee, and of shameful
malpractices in the atto apt to retain
power regardless of the popular will.
Thu Administration and the Fiity-Hrst
Congress cun) Into power by plain pur
chase. Too Republican Party In lBciB
secured its triumph by soiling legislation
abort.
Abandoning all that it bad piofesso I
and all that its loaders, living and dos'd,
had taught concerning the limitations of
right in tariif legislation, it (remit n
platform in Chicago in which it odero I
to monopolists such tariif rates as they
should desire for thcironrichovsnt at the
expense of the peoplo, in return for con
tributions to the campaign fund.
Tne offer wot accepted. Too money
was paid, and with it the notorious em
bezzler .and corruptionist, Matthew
quay, with his lieutenant, Dudley, was
set to buy thu election. When the fun is
ran low John Wanamakcr purchase 1 an
option on a Oiblnot oliiio by securing an
additional contribution of 41110,0(11
from thu louyurs of legislation upon a
margin.
Wnon tho Congress thus elected came
together tho Republican majority was
too narrow and uncertain to do thu worn
it iia 1 promised, it could not deliver
tho legislative go ids it had sold to mon
opolists without resort to further un
fairness and wrong. Tt proceeded to un
seat members of the minority whom thu
people had elected and to sent Republi
cans whom the puoplu had refuse 1 to
elect, and not a man in all the majority
was bravo or honest enough to rnise a
voice in protest.
When the time came for debate the
majority decided not to permit debate,
lest tho truth be made plain to thu peo-
pie.
The rules of tho House were revolu
tionized. A dictator of peculiarly «rb : -
trary will was placed in the chair who 1
suppressed discussion, overrode nil coi-
elderatious of fairness, changed tln|
House from a deliberative body into a
mere machine for recording his defer-
minntiuu, and thus onacto 1 thu m mural
of monopoly which the party had boon
paid in ndvaneu to pass.
In two short yours this Con gross biju in-
dared an ouorinous surplus, reduced the,
treasury to the sorest straits, laid heavy]
burdens upon the people and upon in-;
dustry and made a determined, though!
fortunately a fruitless, ellort to rob tiie
■everal States of tho right of free elec
tions in order to secure for the Rspubll-J
can Party a longer lcaao of powar. It’
sought to buy votes for tho futuro by.
pension legislation of the most reckless;
and unjust character, whose shadow;
hangs line a pall over the finances of the:
oountry and must c nburinss its prosper
ity for a generation to come.
The Administration thus elected tlo-i

The Administration turns tuto power
protesting most solemnly its purpose to
enforce the Civil Service taw iu letter]
aud spirit, nud to extend its scope ami
influence. It straightway set Clarkson
at work to behead postmasters at a rate
wholly uuproccdoutod. The President
openly farmed out tho Federal otfieus as
spoils to sued bosses as Quay and Platt,
and quartered bis own relatives and
partners aud chums upon the public ser
vice. When tho Civil Service Commis
sion discovered the most flagrant an 1
shameless abuses iu Uilthnorc and urged
thu removal of numbers of persons Lay
name lor proved misconduct amounting
to criminality—misconduct perpetrated
in the name and ou behalf of the Ad
niiuistrution—the whole matter was
jauntily put asirto by Wimainakcr, and
the President in no way interfered to re
deem Isis pledge or to Ireo himself from
the soarne of it ull.
Dudley was ono of tho agents in tho
purcuase of Mr. Harrison's siluction, and
he was found out. Mr. Harrison lias
since refused to hold inti mite personal
relations with tho “Blocks ot Five"
statesman, but through his Attorney
Geitorul and former law partuor iso has
interfered with tho administration of
justice in Dudley's case, has caused a
judge upon the bench to shield aud pro
tect crime, nod has since rewarded that
judge for his corrupt subservseucy by
elevating him to a higher judicial posi
lion.
And within those later months the
country has seen tho Pieudcnt organize
tho Civil Service i ito a political uii
chiue, an i with it oa.npel lain owu
nomination fur a second term.
From the very beginning Mr. Ilar-
rison has used the appointing power as n
means of securing a second term for
himself. lie rosortod at the outset t*
davico justly denounced by the elder
President of his name as wrong and
daugerous. Ho muzzled tho press of
1m own party go far as criticism of his
administration was concerned. Ho made
sure of the support of tho prominent
Republican newspapers for all his
ambitions by putting thoir editors under
obligations to himself for high office,
carrying with it pecuniary rewards,
tioliticial advantages or social distinc
tion, according to the known need and
desire of each of his bonoSciaries.
In certain directions he filled the
foreign sorvioo with incapable man to
oblige unworthy interests. Ho sent
Mizner to Central America, and kepi
him there long after tho country had
Ifivon express's.! i to its disgust and
kmiliation with ttie conduct of an
perican Minister who, in the interest
i speculative syndicate, sacrificed tho
hor of thu Xation aud the flag,
lie seat E gaa and McCreery to Chile,
|h results grievously hurtful both to
|good name and to the commercial
Knits ot the country.
T i Wans tinker ho has adds 1 Elkins as
a Cab ur, officer—Elkins, a politic il
a ive nuror and speculator, who had
gin vn ric s out of politic! without hav
ing Woo res,sect enough anywhere to
miic his in ,n suggestive ovon of poui-
Isiistiisi iu connection with honorable of
fice. He made Porter tho Buporinton-
deul of tho Census, knowing him to bo
an already discredited manipulator of
statistics, a foreign advanturor destitute
of convictions and ia sciroh of a market
for Ilfs peculiar abilities, a man at that
very time conducting b s iness as a vul
gar wine tout in combination with poli
tics and ready to placard his advertise
ments in this Executive Mansion itself.
He permitted this man to falsify tho cen
sus of great States by way of robbing
them of their just representation and
thus increasing the chances of t sat
party's succoss to whose servico ho had
iiired himself.
It is a sad and shameful story o(
pledges broken; of fiscal legislation bar
tered for campaign funds; of a'ections
socurod by tho purchase ot VJtora; of
high office in l ie the subject of vulgar
traflic; of tho public service, including
thu most honorable places, prostituted to
the promotion of tho President's personal
ambitions; of n court converted Into n

ho personally participated. Neither ho
nor Postmaster Johnson nor any of thoir
subordinates have been removed, though
thoir oonduot was fully sat forth and
thoir rein iral strongly urged by Mr.
Roosevelt, a Republican me nher of tno
Civil Sorvioe Commission; though some
of them, according to Mr. Roosevelt's
report, deliberately testified to lies;
timiign many of them openly confessed
to cuentiug; thougu alt of them sot at
naught the law agaiust political assess,
ninuts, and though they all professed
witli more or leas of oandor the creed of
lying, ohaatiug and ballot-box stuffing
which the testimony showed that‘tboy
had practiced.

of Mr. Wunamaker'a favor and Mr.
Hnrriaon'* negloot of duty. And thoy

In brief, tho Administration is what it
has been. It proflts still by the practices
for which honest hum iu both parties
have ooudsnsnod it in the past, it pro
tects its scoundrels and its law-broakor*.
It koops them in oflioo. It uses them in
politics. It sanctions their creeds and
their performances. It sent tliain and
such ns thorn to Minneapolis to nominate
Mr, Harrison lor a socoud term in spite
of any desire the Republican Party mighl
have for some other candidate.
It still looks to tho monopolies it has
fostered for tho money with which to
carry tho election. In their behalf it
liiii not only made laws, but bos noglected
auiUl'ofiucd to onforco such laws as thero
are on thu statute booksndvorso to them.
The coal conspiracy lias boon forme l
during this Administration. Without lo
or hindrance it has levied a tribute upon
the people iu face of tho uuti-Trust law.
That lnw mokos it tho imperative duty
of tho Attoruey-Goncral, through the
District Attorneys, to bring criminal
prosecutions against all tho conspirators;
hut no District Attornoy has moved, and
tho Attorney-General weakly protests
tdant ho has no information touching tho
conspiracy.
In tho interest of good government it
is necessary to chastise oflichil miscon
duct by defeat. Tho men and the party
now in power must bo sont into retire
ment for tho public good. Our public
life is in need of disinfection. It is time
to restore legislation to its proper servico
of all tho people.
The simple facts of those four years'
history coustituto tho most conclusive
reasons for refusing to intrust this Ad
ministration or the party it represents

Tho Tariff anil tits Farm *r.
A Pensylrauiu Democrat writes tho
Courier-Journal for information upon
the following points :
“ 1. How does tho tariff affect tho
grain farmers as compared avitla the cot
ton growers?
“2. How nro tariff rebates regu
lated?
“3. What articles of trade, oither
produced ou tho farm or manufacture 1,
cau bo sold in tho English market
cheaper than in thu American market? I
mean American goods."
1. The tariff affects grain farmers
aud cotton growers alike iu this, that ii
robs both. It is true that thero is o
tariff on corn, wheat and oats, on the
pretense of protecting thorn, but they
need no protection, because they are
oxportod in largo q uantitics and sold iu
competition with tho grain of other
countries. Whenever a com no liity can
be exported in large quantities, it is be
cause it is produced m ire oliea ply here
I than it is abroad. In the Inst fiscal
j year we exported 157,00*'. 0 )J bushels of
whoat, worth $it>i,00D,0Q 0, besides
15,0i)U,0JU barrels of it iur, w orth $5
000,000; also 75,OOJ,UJ) bus.,els of
corn, worth $41,500,000, and nearly
3.000,00J.0J0 pounds of cotton, worth
$258,000,000. We were enabled lo do
this because these commodities were
cheaper in tho United States than iu the
couatriea to which they were sent; tho
j price abroad, less fraight, commission
; and other charges, being tho price re
alise 1 for turn isoro. it is mu souse to
talk of protect ng cut s goilt against
tuoso tnat are dearer; by the uatural
laws of tra te com no.litfei seek the mar
kets whore pricoi are best. Cotton Is
on tho free list, while wheat is nomi
nally protected by a duty of twenty-five
cents a bushel; hjtcntton is ai effectu
ally protected by its cheapness ns wnoat,
an I neither is protected by tho tariff.
Where the robbery comes in is in th*
tax on tbo goods wiiicb farmers receive
for their grain and cotton. Wo sent
abroad last year, in rouud numbers,
$300,000,000 worth of products of agri
culture of ail kinds. What did wo got
in return? Did we got our pay in gold?
No; wo exported imro gold and silver
than wo imported. We had to tak«
foreign merchandise in oxchntige, aud
on all dutiable goo ii the tariff ex ic ted
a duty of nearly fifty per coat. Thus,
of the $101,000,000 worth of w heat ex
ported, trie fatmers, if paid io dutiable
goods, would get hac< only about $110,-
000,000 wortn, tho rumiiuder being
necessary to pny the duties. It is truo
that all Imports aro not du'.i iblo; hut it
is also truo that tno farmers pay to do
mestic manufacturer! mtioh higher prices
tor goods obtaincl from tno n than
similar goods would cost abroad; so
tjat a reduction of one-third from tho
purchasing power of our agricultural ex
ports does not by any meins represent
tho exaction which the tariff utakos of
tho farmers.
2. Wnon imported mote rial is used
in tuo manufacture of an ar tide, ninety-
nine per coat, of tno duties pu d on such
material is roiun led wnon tue article is
uxporie 1.
3. Miny agricultural hnpte.nau ts, saw
ing mtcoinus, aud imoy other articles,
are sold auroail at lower prices than at
homo. Tuis has boon denied, but it lias
been proved beyond question ; mid some
protectionists al.nit uni defend it as
proper. The rebato ot dutios on import
ed malarial contributes to ruudur this
possililo; but it also liappoiis iu tho caso
of articles oil which no renatu is puld,
because high tariffs enable too m nniifno-
turur to exact exoo ssivo profits at Immo,
wniio abroad, wncro the tariff gives him
no advantage, ho is co a pulled to take a
reasonable profit.—Oou n er-Journal,
It I* n Stimulant.
Mr. Mason, one of tho Itapublioau
stumpers, declares tlmi “tile tariff is not
a lax but a stimulant. ”
A truo word.
Tito tariff stimulates campaign con
tributions from its beneficiaries, tho pro
tected millionaires. The fat-friers know
this.
it, stimulated Oarnugio to buy castles
in Scotland and to sot up ns a money
lord in England while reducing wages at
home.
It stimulates manufacturers to shoddy-
izc their goods and raiso thoir priests.
It stimulates thu tariff and tho usurer
to collect the debts of its victims.
It puts tbo stimulant of uccossRy upon
workingmen to secure thu extra cost of
their necessaries due to exactions.
Mr. Mason is only half right. Tho
tariff is both a tax and a stimulant.
Th« Result of Tariff Taxation.
Experts estimate that during the laet
thirty years upwards of five billion dol
lars have been paid into tho United
States Treasury as tho result oi tariff
taxation. The same authorities tali us
that for every dollar thus paid into the
Treasury, from $8 to $5 profit has gone
into the pocket* of the protected home
manufacturers, or, altogether, the anor-
inous sum of thirty-one billion dollars,
is it any wonder that twenty-live thous
and individuals now owu one-half of all
tho property in this country? Who will

Uiicie Sam’s Big Gun.
The test of the Isckots wns slipped
over the breech of tiie great thirtcen-lncb
gun nl the nsvy yard a few days ago,
end the immense piece of ordetmnee is
now nenriug c- mpletion. The work is
one of more than usual interest and ev
ery step is being carefully watched by
Captain Sampson, inspector in charge at
'he yard. The gun will be the largtst
ever made in this country. Fifteen inch
guns wi re made during the war of cast
iron, but they were smooth bores and
from any point of view, except in regard
to calib r, they were insiguifleant when
compared with the gun now oo tho lathe
at the navy yard. This modern steel ri
fle is made of thirteen separate pieces of
metal cxc'uaivc of a complex carriage,
it consista of a central tube over which
nrc shrunk hands of jackets of vnrione
shapes. The joints are so exsetiy match
ed thut the gun appetit* to be but one
piece of metal. Its total length is neat
ly forty feet, its diameter at tbo lirct-ch
is an inch more thin four feet and it ta
pers to a iliickneas of twenty-one inches
at the muzzle. When Anisin d, the gun
will weigh nenry one hundred and fifty
eight thousand pounds. It n quires
more than a quarti r of a ton of
powder to load this rifl - for ono dis
charge, but that quanity is expected to
burl a shell us tall as a good sized boy
and weighing 1,100 pounds to is distance
of twelve or thirteen mil- s, at tho extra
ordinary velocity of 21,000 feet per sec
ond. Close at hand this shot would
penetrate 20 2-8 inches of solid steel, and
at a di tame of a milo and a half from
Ilia gun, which is about as far as such
guns can lie sighted and fired with seen
racy in marine wafare, the shot would
still h ive vitality sulflcient to s nsm-li
iliruugb tho side- of a ship covered wiih
21 1-2 inches of sieel Hrm ir. Very few
u :h ships ore afloat. This is the first
of twelve such guns that are intended
for new bn'tie ship*, tho turrets of the
battle ship Oregon, now being built on
the Pacific c mst. When finished, its
construction will have occupied six
months, hut better time can be made
with other guns of this caliber.

Syrup 1
I must say a word as to the ef
ficacy of German Syrup. I have
used it in my family for Bronchitis,
the result of Colds, with most ex-
'ellent success. I have taken it my
self for Throat Troubles, and have
derived good results therefrom. I
therefore recommend it to my neigh
bors as an excellent remedy in such
cases. James T. Durctte, Earlys-
ville, Va. Beware of dealers who
offer you “something just as good.”
Always insist on having Boscliee’s
