Will you submit to this conspiracy between the' professional farmers, the farmers who cultivate the quar rels of their neighbhrs, farmers who labor with their jaws, Populist agi tators of the West, and the unre conciled slave-holders of the South ? This is a conspiracy between pro fessional farmers, who want to pay low wages, and the unreconciled slave-holders, who would like to pay no wages at all. (Extract irom the speech of Bourke, Cockran, de livered in New York August 18th.) Every Democratic paper should print, and every Democratic speaker should read to bis audiences, the following let ter written by President Cleveland in 1893 to the editor of the Atlanta Consti tution: "Gray Gables, Buzzard Bay, Mass., July lo 1892. Clark Howell, Eq My Dear Sir: The receipt of your recent letter has gratified me exceedingly. It has a tone of true Democracy about it, and is pervaded with the sort of Demo cratic frankness which is very pleasing. "I think tbe. underlying principles of party organization is what you so ad mirably express as an acceptance of the arbitrament of 1 tbe National Conven tion. On tbe other hand, it is as fully the duty of one opposed to shut his mind and heart to any feeling of irrita tion or resentment that might be al lowed to grow out of opposition based upon honest judgment and a conscien tious desire for party success. "I am not surprised, though I am gratified by the announcement that from this time to the close of the campaign vour own service and the invaluable in - fluence of the Constitution will be devoted to the fight tor Democratic success. It honestly seems to me that Democrats who are not at this time loyal to the cause are recreant to their country. "Personal advancement of man is nothing; the triumph of ,the principles we advocate is everything. "Hoping that we may congratulate each other on a a glorious result in No vember, I am, vours sincerely, Grover Cleveland." M'KINLEY SHOULD BE FOE FREE t3 SILVER. If Mr. McKinley were a logical or consistent protectionist, and honest in the declaration that he desires protection to build up American manufacturing industries, which he contends would build up tbe farmers and every one else by establishing great home markets which would consume the products of the farms, he should be a zealous advocate and supporter of the free coinage of sil ver without waiting twenty-four hours for the consent of England or -any other European nation. Why do we. say so ?. Do not 'the advocates of protec tion declare that it should be the established policy of this great, pro gressive Republic to protect its manufacturers and those whom they have in their employ from competi tion with "foreign pauper labor" by the imposition of tariff duties which would make it impossible for the competing manufacturers of other countries to ship their goods to this country at a profit? We make no point here on the ab surd pretence that it is the foreign manufacturer who pays the tariff tax and that the way to keep him out is to tax him out, but we assume that this is their motive and that this is the way they propose to do it. Logically a protective tariff should be prohibitive, for that is the only tariff ' that can effectively protect against foreign competition. Assuming that they are really de sirous of protecting the American manufacturer from the competition r foreign competitors, who employ "pauper labor," to be consistent they should go about it in the right way, They have not the courage to pro claim boldly for a prohibitory tat iff, for they know the people wouldn't stand that, but there is a way that they could do it, without going through the formality of passing a tariff law which simply puts a bur . den on the American consumer for the benefit of the favored manufac turer, that is assuming that they are honest in their assertions as to what would be the effect of the free coin age of silver. They say the free coinage of sil ver would destroy oar commerce with foreign countries, that we could neither sell anything to them nor buy anything from them. Very well. Suppose this to be so, although we do not believe it by several jugs full. Doesn't Mr. McKinley, the . great high priest of protection, tell us that if the foreign manufacturer be pre vented from shipping his goods to this country and competing with our home manufacturers we would have, U I as a result, ereat manufacturing I cities which would furnish home markets for all the farmers pro duced, and pay prices that would make all our farmers prosperous? If so. where would be the ueed of ex- Dortioe anything and how could free I I silver hurt us in that respect? If free silver prevented the foreign manufacturers from shipping us any thing where would there the be need of any protective ariff legislation? What more protection could the manufacturer ask than that? This wouldn't be a "Chinese wall,M it would be a silver wall that would effectually keep the pesky foreign manufacturer out, give the home manufacturer complete sway in the home markets, and build up home markets that would consume all the products of farm and pasture. What more could "the manufac turer, the employe of the manufac turer, the farmer or any one else ask than that? This would be a daisy and ideal protection that wonld make us absolutely independent of the rest of mankind, so that we need not care a continental whether we sold or bought a nickel's worth abroad. If they express their honest senti mentsras to what they profess to be lieve would be the effect of the free coinage of silver in our commercial relations with other nations, they should heartily support it, for this is precisely what it would do if they are to be credited. ' , They could thus accomplish by one thoroughly American and heroic stroke what they are endeavoring to accomplish in a round about way without having the courage to pro claim what they are really trying to accomplish in this round about way. What Mr. McKinley, Mr. Hanna (who is managing him) and those who are supporting him are aiming at is to keep foreign manufactures out by levying excessive tariff taxa tion on imported goods, but if they be really anxious to do that and be lieve all they say about the results of the free coinage of silver the last mother's sou of them should be yelling for it until they made the welkin ring with shouts for free sil ver nd W. J. Bryaq. MIHOS KEHTIOJf. The reputation for gilt-edge ora tory which the Hon. John R Fel lows, originally of Arkansas, but for some years of New York city, enjoys, even if not accompanied by the ad ditional attraction of the distinguish ed decoy from Kentucky, should be enough to draw a great gathering at a country cross roads, but it didn't seem to do it at tne opening per formance at Nashville, Tenn., Mon day night, when they spoke to 2,000 people, mainly Republicans, while Wm. J. Bryan was speaking to at least 50,000 people in. Louisville, Decoy Buckner's own State. The press dispatches which report It, de scribe it as a chilly affair, in which vain attempts were made to inject some show of enthusiasm, the only response to which attempts came from Republicans who applauded when the orators referred to the "an cient traditions and principles of the Democratic party." Whether tbey were doing this in an ironical or guy ing spirit or to encourage tbe distin guished floppers is not stated. The attempt after the funeralistic meet ing to get up a live parade was a dead failure, for with the powerful assistance of a brass band, and other stimulants, they could muster only 175 persons by actual count. With this wet blanket reception in the be ginning it seems to us that the dis tinguished Mr. Fellows might as well pack his grip sack and return to New York, and that Decoy Buckner might as well return to Kentucky and attend to his regular business, as Decoy Palmer is doing in Springfield. What a contrast there was be tween the popular demonstrations at Louisville, Ky.f when Decoys Palmer and Buckner were notified of their nomination last Saturday and when Wm. Jennings Bryan reached that city the following V onday. A great effort had been made to draw people to the city to witness and partici pate in the decoy show, and the managers boasted that there were fully 5,000 persons persons present. When Wm. J. Bryan spoke there, without any beating xf tom-toms or theatrical paraphernalia the city was thronged with people, the streets were crowded, the capacious park in which he made his first speech was packed, while fifteen thousand people gathered around him at the Hay Market, where he made his second speech, and a "vast concourse" packed the streets in front of the Willard ' Hotel (where the street is very broad), where he made his third speech of the evening. And yet it was not his reputation for oratory which held these great gath erings, for he was in bad voice with much speaking and weary from over exertion and much travel. The sig nificant feature of these demonstra tions is that they took place in the State of Secretary Carlisle and of Candidate Buckcer, and in the city where the Courier ' Journal, which is making its mightiest efforts to dis credit Wm. J. Bryan in popular es-, teem, is published. Here is an "ob ject lessdn" that all three of these might study to good purpose - if they would. -m The Rev.

Augusta fhroni cle, Dem. -L Was there ever a better dollar than the American silver dollar of 1792 1873 ? For eighty-one years it was not only as good as gold, but better better, not only in value (for it was at a premium over the gold dollar for years before 1873), but better because, its value in weight being only one sixteenth of that of gold, it made a dollar of a safer and more serviceable size than a gold dollar one-sixteenth its size, and of so soft a material that it was rapidly worn in actual use for all use as money below the dollar value, gold was utterly useless silver from the dollar downward asserting in supe rionty tor use in a way that never was questioned and never can be.

A good story is told of a lawyer in Chicago who considered himself a great authority on whist. He wrote a book on the subject, and sent it torn famous Mil waukee player for his opinion of it In about a week the book was returned to him, with the following letter : Mt Deab Bra Your favor of the Inst., accompanied by yoor book, was duly received. I have read it very carefully. It seems to be a very good game, but I don't think it is as good a game as whist. Sincerely yours, It ia no unusual thing to hear a play er at whist remark, after being berated by his partner for very bad playing, "Well, I play whist for pleasure. " He does not stop to think that he gives his partner anything but "pleasure." Such players cause their partners many "un mauvais quart d'henre." It might be a great "pleasure" for a novice to play a duet on the piano with PaderewskL One can readily imagine how much 'pleasure" Paderewski wonld find in the performance. If a man wants to play whist, he should study the books and familiarize himself with them be fore inflicting his play on a partner who knows anything of the game, or else de vote his great mind to dominos. It is related of one of these gentry that, after a hand at whist, his partner asked him, "Why in thunder didn't yon trump that queen of clubs?" He naive ly replied, "Why, I only had one little trump. " Sometimes, as in this case, the humor unknown to the perpetrator carries off the bad feeling engendered by bis horrid mistakes and ignorance. It is so easy, if one would devote a lit tle time and ordinary intelligence to the study of tbe game, to learn to play a fairly scod came of whist. Four players started a game of whist not long since, a noted wit being one of them. He was dealing and made a mis deal. He dropped his cards and burst into laughter. "'That reminds me," said he, "of my dear old friend. Judge Peck ham, father of the present judge. He was a great whist player of the 'old school' and had scant patience with a poor player. I was passing the oardroom one day and met one of the poorest play ers in the clnb coming out. 'Have you been playing whist? I asked. 'Yes, said he. 'Who was your partner?' 'Judge Peckham,' he replied. 'Did he pitch into yon pretty Btrong?' 'No, indeed, He only made one remark. I was deal ing and made a misdeal. . The judg said, "Why, yon fool, yon don't even know how to deal!" This is the only remark he made during the entire game. " Washington Star. ' Patriotic. A bright and patriotic American girl -who was reoently in Oxford, England, attended an afternoon tea while there, and soon found herself, her country, its institutions and ous toms objects of great interest. The conversation was animated and pro longed well into the evening, and the young Amerioan took a conspic uous part therein. Physically ex hausted thereby, the maiden knelt for her customary devotions at her bedside that night in a mood some what less attentive than usual, so that, as she oonfessed confidentially to her friends, she discovered her self saying, "Thy will be done, on earth as it is in America 1" New York Tribune. A Handy Man. People always seem to be more or lesa interested in seoing men at work on new buildings. - On a building under con struction up town there was a man np on the fourth or fifth story who was hoisting water from the ground.

There was a barrel on the ground I uoiuw, nuu wueij ua wauiou wawjr ne lowered the bucket down to the barrel. dipped it himself from above and hoist ed away.

' STORES IN HALLWAYS. : gome of the Tradesman of Venezuela) Need , but Little Cobblers,- jewelers, tailors - and venders of small notions take pos session of the entries already de scribed as leading from tbe street to the courtyard and coolly : convert them into a shop, ho large is ims olass.of entry shopkeepers that they form quite a good sized floating pop ulation of themselves! J These good people affix a few books to tbe wall, hang np their show shelves, put up a sort of folding counter that doubles up like a backgammon board, and their preparations for tne reception of visitors and customers are com pleted. They by no means suffer themselves to be browbeaten or cast down in spirit by more prosperous competitors. Their prices are often even higher than those of the regu lar tradesmen. The tailors among them especially affect foreign and traveled airs, many of them even going so far as to display such signs as "Paris Fashions" and "Tailor From Paris." But to me the most interesting ol all these hallway merobants and ar tisan a is the cobbler or shoemaker. He is a distinguished character, too, as well as an interesting one, for be often gets into the newspapers. The advertisements in the prinoipal daily newspapers of Caracas announcing anything to be seen or sold or rooms to let generally conclude with, "The shoemaker in the entry will explain matters." Can any one tell why nearly all oobbler3 and shoemakers are of the Mark Tapley breed? Why is it that they are nearly always jol ly and always singing at their work, even when heaven has entirely de nied them a singing voice? Is the nernetual sunshine in a cobbler's heart due to that complete independ ence which a total lack of anything like property gives? Is it attributa ble to any peculiar exhalation aris ing from their bucket or small tub of half putrid water and old heel taps, or is it owing to weir joy at having possessed from time imme morial tbe right to apply their strap to the person of their helpmeet, thus giving rise to tbe familiar axiom that no other wife is ever so dutiful or so well controlled as a shoemaker's? Be the cause what it may, in tbe entry of many a bouse here in Ca racas you will find the shoemaker working away in a current of air that would cause rheumatism, pneu monia or at least toothache in any one else, singing and enjoying him. self as only a cobbler can. If you should lodge in tbe same bouse witb him and not wish to be at the ex pense of a valet, this merry man of the lapstone and awl will not only mend your boots, but clean them as well, besides brushing your clothes in the morning and running your errands, and all for a daily stipend that would cause an American boot black to laugh you to scorn if you presumed to offer it to him us the price of a single shine. I may re mark en passant that there is no other place in the world where a man may have so many scouts and emissaries for so little money as in Caracas. They are all excellent in their way, too, possessing an innate diplomatic tact which enables them to negotiate any delicate business with great finesse. They are espe cially well versed and trustworthy in all affairs of the heart. Very few of tbe hallway merchants I have mentioned pay any rent for their place of business unless the entry they ocoupy is so wide that they can keep store" in it without obstruct ing the passage. In that case some slight remuneration is expected. The occupants of the narrow halls are looked upon as benefactors and guardians. They are excellent scare crows for thieves, and the people of the bouse make use of them to re ceive their friends' visiting cards, to say, "Not at home, " and to per form many other offices of a similar character. Caracas Letter. , Then He Would Take Life Seriously. "I think your boy is too mucb in clined to look lightly upon the seri ous affairs of life," said the teacher. "There is a buoyancy to his spirits that is carried to excess. It would be a good thing if he had a little more solemnity in bis manner." "Oh, that will all come later in life, " replied the father carelessly. "If I could feel sure of that" "You can feel just as sure of it as you want to. He'll look as solemn as an owl and as serious as a Biblical student before I am through with him." "What do yon intend to do with him?" I intend to make him a profes sional humorist. I don't know any thing that will make him take life more seriously." Chicago Post. Water Superstitions. Sunerstitions ha vine- to dn with water are difficult to eradicate. What possible connection can the rise or fall of water have with the duration of human life? Yet when Dickens tells of the death of the child in "Da- vid Copperfleld" "it being low wa ter, he went out with the tide" then the old superstition finds its pathetio revival. Cost of Parliament.
