Carl Schcrz has written a nine column letter giving his reasons for supporting Cleveland as against Harrison. That is rather mere space than Mr. Schurz occupied in his letter te Abraham Lincoln telling the latter that his conduct of the war was a fail ure. New that the big $10,000 contributions have begun te roll Inte the National Democratic headquarters, we may ex pect shortly te hear of one for that amount from Hen. Grever Clevkland. That was the size of his little token of friendly interest in the campaign of 18S8, and he will hardly have the heart te make it any smaller this year. History will strain her eyes in a vain search for a mere startling contortion act than that of Reswell P. Flower, who, after signing a pretest warning the Chicago Convention that Mr. Cleve land could net carry the state of New Yerk even If nominated, new chips .in with a big check for a campaign te prove that he didn't knew what he was talking about. If "General" Adlai Stevenson's claim te a military title is valid he ought te run up te Washington this week and attend the Grand Army En campment. "General" Stevenson is new touring in North Carolina, and he might take time enough te go up te the National Capital and explain te the 75, 000 old soldiers there assembled the methods he employed In putting down the Rebellion. Democratic Laber Commissioner Peele of Indiana is reported te have conducted an investigation into the wages question, and, like Commissioner Peck of New Yerk, finds that wages 'have advanced under the new Tariff. The Democratic National Committee has seen fit te appoint deputize certain rabid Free-traders te " expose" Commis sioner Peck's report. Mr. Peele might as well prepare te And himself proved a liar also by these clever investigators. . The Democratic platform declares a Protective Tariff unconstitutional, and pledges the party te Inaugurate a Tariff for revenue only. A Tariff for revenue only Is what England has. Let us examine It and see hew it compares with our own Mc Kinley law, and if possible discover wherein It Is preferable te our present arrangement. Then we can Intelligi bly decide whether we want te change, England levies a duty en cocoa, that delicious, wholesome breakfast beverage, of 2 cents a pound. Being a revenue duty, it is, of course, added te the price. We must get eoeoa free. The Englishman's coffee la Tariff taxed evers cents a pound; if roasted or ground, 4 cents n pound. We get ours free. Tea pays 8 cents a pound into the Imperial Treasury. It comes te the American tea tables free. Here are three articles of uuiversal consumption. A tax en them is paid mainly by the peer. An unskilled laborer who can earn no tnore than $1 50, and is obliged te support his family out of that, drinks ns much tea or coffee, perhaps, as nuy ene of the Vanderbilts. He, therefore, pays as much or mere of the revenue Tariff tax. Under our Protective system the wealthy pay the Impert duties. As a matter of fact, the laborer, the mechanic and the farmer can get along, and de get along for the most part, without a single imported artlcle which pays duty. These they must have are admitted free. They buy home-made beets and shoes, heme-made clothing, home-made uten sils. Products of the labor of their own fellew-dtlzens are geed enough for them, and by buying them they escape paying a cent of Tariff tax. But the wealthy, the fashionable, the Auglemaniacs, who turn up their noses at American products and dote en French silks, German underwear and English worsted these are the ones, and net the peer, who mainly pay the expenses of Government. The question between a Tariff for revenue only and a Tariff for Protection is, therefore, a question as te whether the rich or the peer should pay the Tariff. Which shall it be, American voters? h reciprocity is a "humbug" and has net increased our trade with Seuth American countries, why does a promi nent Englishman claim that it does Questions ker Great Britain "mere Free-Traders, harm than did the McKinley Tariff," because it "drives her out of the Southern hemisphere':"' If the Tariff is a "tax" en the Ameri can consumer, why should the importer desire Free-trade? If the result of Free-trade would be, in the words of that Free-trade oracle. Mr. Gladstone, te make the United States produce " mere cotton and wheat at low prices," hew could this benefit the farmer? If printers, painters, builders and similar tradesmen are net in any way beneLUed by Protection, hew does it come that, according te reliable statistics, the wages of such men have always been higher in Protection than in Free-trade periods? Did Madisen believe in Protection be cause It oppressed the "plain people?" Why does every sneer at American enterprise, the skill of Amerlcau work werk ingmen or the quality of American products always come from Free-traders? Dees "Larry" N'EALef Cleveland, who wrote the Democratic Tariff plank.knew mere of the Constitution than the Su preme Court of the United States? Why Is wool a raw material any mere than the woolen cloth used by the tailor? Did the McKinley bill "strangle com merce," when our experts and imports are larger than ever before? Was the strike among English tailors, which threw 55,000 men out of employ ment, due te Protection? Could there be a better leader of the Free-trade press than The New York Yerk World, proven by another Democratic dally te be a fraud and a forger? If free raw materials will give us the "markets of the world," why are our im ports of silk manufacturers ever 000 times as great as our experts, although raw silk Is en the free list? Is Ward McAllister a Free-trader because Free-trade would benefit labor? If Free-trade is net the Confederate policy, why Is It that even te-day the most prominent Free-traders are all ex Confederates? If Cleveland does net stand for for eign Interests, why Is he se enthusiastic ally supported by the citizens of almost every ether country but his own? If the Free-traders' argument, that this country Is prosperous " in spite of Protection," is a geed one, does net the Democratic platform He when It denies that we have prospered?

A Sweeping Charge Frem the Court te the Grand Jury. The Htate Law Prohibit (lamhllng, Hut Ua Net Ileeu ICnferced l'er Year Action Will He Taken at Uuce te Clese Them All Tight, New Oiiluanb, Sept U3. The biggest fight ever made here against the gam blers began Thursday. The state law prohibits gambling, but it has net been unforced for years, and in the face of the law Mayers Shakespeare and Gull lotto licensed the gambling saloons, the latter paying money te the city authori ties for support of the alms-house; During the lest few weeks there have been several scandals connected with the gambling houses, several ugly rows occurring in them, and a case of sharpers beating the gamblers out of some 810,000 with leaded dice. The gamblers foolishly squealed ever their less, thus calling attention te the pub licity with which they were carrying en their business in defiance of the law. Thursday Judge Fergusen, of the criminal district court ordered the graud jury te make special investiga tion of the gambling houses. He call ed attention te the law, and pointed out where a number of fare and ether houses were carried en in defiance of it, naming the streets and buildings in which the business is conducted. He or dered the grand jury te at enee take ac tion in the matter, net only against the gamblers, but ngajnst the mem bers of the police force" who, knowing this violation of the law te be going en in their precincts, failed te report it Judge Fergusen found tle grand jury in full sympathy with him In this raid en the gamblers. It summoned the necessary witnesses at once and called upon Chief of Police Caster te close all gambling institutions iu the city, arrest all persons found therein, seize all gambling paraphernalia and bring it te the police station, and te report from day te day what progress he had made in the matter of closing the gambling houses. The move is beun in earnest for Judge Fergusen is strongly pledged te break up gambling, and has begun a crusade which Imj and the grand jury will keep up te the end, and if the po lice de net act they are likely te get into troble. The gambling saloons have always been open In New Orleans, except for a week once, and have been cither licensed by the state or the city, or tolerated bj the city. The (). A. it. Olllreri.
