OSCOE CONKLING never lived for the Democratic party when he was alive, and it will be found that he doesn’t live for it now that he is dead, NNA DICKINSON has taken the platform for the Republican ticket, and one rhetorical blast upon her bugle horn is worth a thousand Republican votes from the Democratic side.

OUR LATER LINCOLN JF ANYBODY knows of any wiser, abler or more judicious speeches than those of General Harrison during this campaign he had better find out the author of them and then go to work and manufacture some himself, The general has spoken openly and frankly on-every topic be- longing to the campaign, and has not said a word which he or his party, dying or living, would wish to blot. That is a great compliment : and it shows, if there were no other evidence, that the Republican standard- bearer isa great man, His judgment is as great as his ability, and the HIS DISCOVERY. PROFESSOR STARR (of the planet Mars, looking through —** There's one thing on that ten thou- sandth rate planet that’s always troubled me. Boston is in the United States, and not the United States in ability has never yet been called in question. There is a new Lincoln in that strong, just, able, fearless, discreet Indiana man, and if Democratic jingoism brings about a new crisis he will be just the president for the situation. FREE TRADE OVER THERE. HERE IS ONE. phase of the industrial discussion that is largely over- looked, ‘The moral aspects of the result of free trade in England, the destitution and want that follow in its wake, are ignored, Continental Europe, France, Holland, Germany and 1 iff countries ; England only is free trade. Europe is loaded with as great, if not heavier, burdens than Great Britain, through the costly maintenance of marine and military armaments, Its taxes are not only indirect, through import duties, levied largely on the necessaries of life, but directly and specifically on property and land. Yet the protective Euro- pean countries have in proportion to their population less than one- the pauperism and incident crime that there are in the British isles, report to the British parliament by the “local government board” it wa shown that one million of the inhabitants of the united kingdom were paupers, and in London one in every five of its population died a paupet The annual government cost of mitigating—not alleviating —English dis- tress is nearly one hundred million dollars. When the compulsory edu- ational act passed parliament it was found that the children, worn with want and haggard with semi-starvation, brought stupid and unimpressible brains to the enforced task of learning. Even the great private charities of providing children ameal for twocents first, and subsequently for one, fell flat as the little ones could not pay even the half-penn ‘This experience and the economic history of English free trade show it wa take. The world did not open its ports as Cobden predicted, filling the English mills with busy artisans for the supplying to other countries of English wares, ‘The Cobden policy was a boomerang, curving back to smite the thrower. ‘The depend- ence it was intended to create on English supplies failed, and the nations who were not willing to be fleeced to add to English wealth saved themselves by a protective tariff barrier, and lifted to the lips of the English free-trader the bitter cup intended for them to drain. ‘The idleness and want incident to, and inevitably to be bred in other countries from the lack of diversity of employment, ebbed back, and the industrial malaria gnawed on the vitals of its authors. Insufficient compensation breeds crime, following want. ‘The undermining of self-reliance and the comforts that come of fair earnings also undermine self-re- spect. Free education, however well it may equip the poorest for the battle of life, is of little worth without opportuni- ties. If the only path left for the Ameri- can workingman to tread be the furrow, free trade will fill the furrow full, A nation is like a human being. Over-development in one direction must be at the expense of the other. A man all stomach or bowels would be a monstrosity. The digestive manufactory, the selected laboratory of nutrition, the engine forcing the blood, the telegraphic nerves, the levers of muscle and bone, and the directory brain, are all essential to a healthy whole. Disease and industrial demoralization follow, in a people as in a person, any unbalanced condition of the body politic. THOSE SOCIALISTIC IDIOTS. THE QUESTION “Does marriage pay?” is sufficiently answered by the question “ Does the opposite of marriage pay?” There are twenty mar- ried persons to every unmarried one, and two-thirds of them say it isa good investment, while of the other third a half of it is in doubt. The one person is acrank, and of course is in doubt himself. There is no question as to the fact that the world should have its proper population, and there is no doubt that the increased population should be taken care of. It would seem that the question astothe profitability and the respectability of marriage involves a waste of words. There are a great many pretty theories of the things to fol- low an abolishment of marriage, but they belong to another state of exist- ence; not one of them is possible here. y are protec- a mis- I se now that hia comicbooks.com
