It l part and parcel of the scheme to jret u p a foreign war scare is a bid for votes for Harrion and Leid.

S.. cruiser Xewaikind Bennington will be ordered to Turkish wa ters to support this demand, which this roYerniupnt pro poses to enforce at all haz zards. No fears need be en tertained of a war with the sublime Secretary. Foster's demand is like that made by Rudini, the Italian premier, upon this government justaf tertlte New Orleans massa cre intended so'lelv for home consumption anil effect. The aetinsi- Attorney (lener at has declined to give an of ficial construction of the new eight hour law, which the nc nfi secretary of the treasu ry requested., on the ground that, he cannot legally do so until the question comes be fore him in connection with t he n dm inistra t ion of t he la w. There is lots of politics in that eight hour law, or rath er ia the, construction which the legal officials of the gov ernment may be pleased to put nripn it, which accounts for fhe refusal of the tempo rary head of the Department pf Justice to give an official pinfon on thesnbjeet nt this time. The presidential elec tion is too near at hand, and Mie g. o. p. linn already lost too many votes to take any more changes. The republicans are rais ing the cry tf "no money", with which Sena tor Quay tri: ed unsuccessfully tooamboo zle the democrats in '88. 'lhe dodge did not work then and it wiP not. work now.

Over-work during the session and just after wards is what broke h i in down. There is a very, decided dif ference of opinion among the democrats here us to the wis dom of the national commit tee in deciding to open a branch headquarters at Chi cago. Of course they will sin oeiv ly wisli for good results from the innovnt'hm, but ma ny express the fear that they may not come. The Xav.vVp;'.rt.ine:it trny tind ikelf the centre of an en ormous scandal if it does not satisfactorily explains y h y the style of steel a r ni o r plates now being furnished by the Bethlehem iron works ami the Carnegie concern was changed in a way to save the contract! rs.se vera I h n nil re 1 thousand dollars without u coi responding, rt( i net! m ne ing made in the pi ice paid the contractors.

The act ing secretary of the avy at teuqts to explain it by say ing that the style of armor called for . by the original specification .could, not be made in this country. That fact was very well knovn when thecontracts were maile but the contractors, agrei'd t(') put hi plants to make it. This they have not done. A I etter explanation will have to be given or Congress will have to investigate. It is probable- that a considerable portion of the illegal profits of this change has already fouudits way into the treas ury of the national republi can committee. Weaver's I'nuk. At a democratic mass meet ing in. Atlanta, Ga., on the 0th, Senator (Jonlon siid: "The Til st, anil by far the most iniporfant reason giv en by our third party friends fur theirsuovement, is the claim that they are unale to secure financial relief through i the democratic party.

If I am capable oiun- in- hal! be p banks in this country, eept the one gigantic, col- oss;1 consTorn called the I ni-i ted s'inti s government. Have you thought seneais ly of tli" si iqi,1 and immensi ty of that demand? Who is to be the lender of tins mon ey? Tin Federal government. Who nre jo be. the custom ers? ixty-five millions of people, at least ten millions of whom would be borrowers. Who are to be the manag ers of this prodigious, cyclo p'i n ha nk ingest a blishmi'n t? Not HUM) who ha ve any nio n.v or property or financial i.iterst staked ufion its. suc cess; but hirelings, govern ment ""employees and favor ites or pets o" the poli'ical pat ty which for the tone hap pens to control the govern ment. How many of these employees will there be. Let those who are good at fig ures make their own calcula tions. How in a n v banks, ha liking associations, trust companies, brokers, and pri vate money Fnders are there in the United Stat'S at 1 h e present, time? These must nil close their offices, for thegov ermnent lending money at 2 per cent, all other lenders must go out of business. Cal culate if you can the number of this proposed army ofgov en i merit money counters. Ev ery one of these i-egnlarly or ganized backs, trying to cur tail expenses, has, as a rule, president, a vice-president, a cashier, a teller, bookeepers, clerks,, collectors, directors, etc... All this vast and com plicated machinery, now run by a hundred thousand of the most capable men On the con tincnt, is to be transmitted by h vote of (.!;, giv.-i-;. into one leviathan .-governmental bankingestablishmeii r. Th" army that followed Lee in the Wilderness or Grant at Chicknniauga, would be not !i ing us compared to it. A;i ! when our third party friends se.ure that other .demand, the control by the govern ment of all rail roads, a n d steam boats and canal boats and telegraph lines, you inns ter a iiordc, eclipsing in num ber the legions which follow ed t he eagles of Lome when she became mistress of the world.

''They should be trampled pi the wilderness of oblivion and never more rei urn."' Tie said in a joint debate with Col. II. II. 'Trimble, at Bloom field oh Sept. 1, 1 HGH: "Here wo have the old light over again. The Confederate democracy north and south, in which the famous copper head division of Iowa ap pears, are again contesting with grant for the safety o!' 1 he Union. As at Donelson, he proposes to move on their work ; at once, and there is no escape for this rank trai torous horde, except in an other surrender.

He said in Bloomfield or. Sep. 20. "09: ''What is the use oHm-ther arraigning the democracy with all hoary crimes at the bar of public opinion? We know, that its acts comprise murder., treason, fraud, per jury and all crimes possible for an organization tc con nive at. It would ben mer cy to nit its record a million miles deep in the pit that is mentioned in Holy Writ; and I may add that if a 1 a r g e a n d distinguished assort ment of its alleged statesmen were sent along it would be onl v common justice." "He said at Keokuk. Sep. 10, 1871: ,,The record of the republi can party appeals to the can did judgment of all men as unimpeachable, save, per haps, that it was too lenient with the leading democratic aspirants. The same old gang save-those who were shot or hung, are again con spiring to get. -possession of tlie government nelt year. Woe to them, for the loyal hosts will crush them forever anil forever cut off all possi ble danger of such a misfor tune to our nommon coun try. llesaid at Okaloosa, Sen. 25, 1872: "No republican can e-erun iler any :;ircu instances, have ntiv mii-e ni- it ii-ieli ilwil.n.. gry rebellious.' man-hating. womnn-se mur iraii.Tomor:!.

When thoe declarations weie thrown in Mr. Weaver's face in the national house oi teprescntatives; he adn i' ted their utterance an 1 said: "I have no doubt tnat I utter- ,ed, if net the sime wi:rds contained in the extracts read before the house, words equally as forcible ami sub sta itiallv similar. I liarn .)t uu,r a t;ike back with re in of it An example is always bet I ter than an argument. Here is one i.i ,. ., wi-.. . i...viv., r. 1 1 mini l rm week from Manchester con- i aiding a number of cases- of dress goods, mostly nil wool, oi'd s.ore warp dress goods. Filtered value, .2,0.'U; pack ing is accountable for $19 of this, lhe value, 2,012. t p a i d .52,021.03 duty. Of course the consumers, t h e public at large, will eventual ly Kiy this." Let us study this concrete example for a moment. Fit st. We see t ha t cloth and dress goods of the value of 2.012 cost the importer 3-28.-V03, which sum he must get back from the consumera of the goods with his profits upon th, transaction. Second. The goods import ed are among the necessaries in oar country anil climates, and not the mere luxuries of those who are rich or extrav agant. Third. The farmer or Ui.; laborer buys these goods for his wife and children, and Ue licves when he puts down i n the siore counter a dollar of his earnings that he is get ti;;,v a dollar's worth of good wh 1 1, i-i laet, he is paying more t han one half the mon ey i" the tax. and profits of lie La .v lor the several mid- 1'ouri.u. liiese goods fire ais'S !i.rge!y made up in this country. They wuld not he i.lipoiied itiiiivs ;;.y could, be sold here, for cost and tax and a fair profit on both. Ex eept for the tax wecould buy them for the cost and a fair profit on it. The t,i:-:7 tax, which the. govexuieiH mix3S with them -before it fillows them to pass into the c'.ol': ing of the people, thus nio:o than (hmbles their cost,- and at the same time increases by a like amount tlie prices at' which similar home m a d e goods can be sold to the peo ple. This is the purpose for which it is levied. Fifth. .Th.) labar cost of producing these; goods in this country is more than 20 per cent gi eater than the labor cost in Manchester, and but lor a tariff on wool that ac tually depresses the value of our native wool, but increas es the cost, of the foreign wooh needed for mingling with our native gruden to make these goods, the cast of-' material -would bp. the same in licit h countries. Sixth. Let the farmer now sit down ami figure out to his satisfaction, if he can, tvhy a law of Congress should be made to eomjwd him to give two bushels of his w heat ' or, two days of his laoor for the same quantity of neces sary goods that hecould, but for such a law, procure with; less than one bushel of his 1 in. i ! throne day "t his .labor.
