With better wcMiursing it might have been dragged through at least a week. Bandannas manufactured in England are appropriate emblems for those who prefer foreign products, that is to say, foreign labor to American labor. Protectionists are not bulling tho bandanna inarm. Tub Rtyitler publishes an alleged "Tarill*History," by Thomas G. Shuaiiuan? who happens to be an out-and-out Free Trader without any disguises. Mr. Shearman's "History" is priueipally a romance, Why was it that the Democratic Club Convention in Baltimore thought it "inexpedient" to say anything 011 the Chinese question? Did they think that, too, loaded ? Republicans are not afraid to meet any quoation of the day. It is probable that noxt year there will 1 be a formidable movement against so much powder-burhiugj in Wheeling on the Fourth of July. If the insurance men take hold the movement will be a success. Wheeling has not the equipment to deal with all that might have resulted from the reckless freedom with which the Fourth juat passed was celebrated. Tiik Prohibitionists of New York are having trouble over their nominee for Governor, W. Martin Jones. This parlidiiii of reform ia ehanred with making a business of instituting liquor prosecutions and settling with the liquor-seller on tho basis of u good slice for himself. A case w now pending to inuko him dis-| gorge, and others are said to bo in readiness. No wonder there is talk of taking Candidate Jones oil'tho ticket, Honesty is not less a virtue than prohibition. Quit theory of government supposes that tho voter is intelligent, knows what policy he t desires pursued by Congress and the Executive, und will vote accordingly. The founders of tho Republic would have gone to their graves with more and graver misgivings if they had thought it possible that on so vital an issue as free trade vs. protection the voter who believes in protection would support free trade nominees merely be 41 it!/>! I'uusr UI?J !'? ?; n>?u II '"X" ho hats hitherto actod. Til rue is horso sense in this from the Pittsburgh Timet: Indiana luus been classed 21s 0110 of them; but we claim that tho State will go far Harrison as surely as Ohio. With it and either New Jersey, Connecticut or West Virginia the battle is won. With public sentiment growing for Harrison anything like us it is in Pennsylvania, nil doubt how they will go will be over long beforo election day. Is it probable that West Virginia or New Jersey, with the sumo character of considerations operating there that are influencing public opinion in Pennsylvania, will act in the same way? Pennsylvania and West Virginia aro not only neighbors, but have kindred industries; and to a certain extent is this true of Now Jersey. It would be strange should West Virginia follow the I'reo Trade banner interested as she is in having protection the lixed policy of tho country. With protection that State would havo great lutures, and bo a partaker of tho growth and development which are giving Pennsylvania the rank of the foremost of the Suites in manufactures and progress. Only Republican folly can hold this State for Cleveland. Wo aro not afraid of Democratic schemes. A l'nivWUml Man. An item going the rounds of the press states that Mr. John Wauninakor, the ^reiit Philadelphia merchant, has insurance on his life to the amount of $1,1X10,000. The statement is by no means improbable. Mr. Wanamakor is able to carry that much insurance, and ho does many things on a magnificent scale. llut why should a rich and prosperous man desire so much insurance? Mr. ? Wanamaker luw large wealth and is in receipt of a large incomo beyond his , capacity to spend for the ordinary purposes of generous living, lie may reasonably look forward to leaving his j family a handsome fortune when he ; pu s to his tiual reward. Perhaps Mr. Wanamaker is moved by the impulse which iuduces men of less | fortune or of no fortune to mako provis- ( ion when they can for their families. It may be also that Mr. Wanauiaker has gone into insurance for an investment, us men are constantly doing. Insumnco companies in this day are attracting business by incorporating in < the policy what they call a "cash nur- 1 render value," the amount which the I < insured may draw at tho end ot each year by aurrun luring his policy. In ' pine Stall* this is nut loft Ui special ' agreement but in required by law. 1 An the protection to tho insured ia made greater, whether by law or by I euson of sharp competition, life iusurinco takesu stronger hold upon thought- i al men. Kwry man ol turning capa ity should have some insurance on his ife >is the hest way to provide lor hia amily in eawj lie should die before he J :an lay up enough for their want*. tllfl iiiuhhu wiijt. England is held U]? by American Free ( Finders as pursuing just alsnit the cor- , rcct fiscal policy to make a nation great ] uid prosperous. If they could induce i the United .Sttttea to follow suit they would consent to And in the next world ' the happiness which they have /ailed to , tlnd in this. T-nat vear Great ilritain raised from ' ill sources revenue to the amount of M&J,803,700. Of this 28 per cent was raised by the excise, or internal revenue tax; 17 per vent by property and income tax; 22 per cent, or $100,775,000 through the custom houses. Tea aud coffee, which, under the American policy, are imported free of duty, are ground for revenue before they can pass the British customs ofliecrs. The income tax was not popular in the United States; the duty wus removed from tea and cofteo in respouse to public demand anil when it was no longer needed for revenue; and the people are getting tirud of the remaining war reminder of our fiscal policy in the shape of the Internal Revenue Bureau. The American people would stand very little of the English way. Giirniiinj'ii Levol Head. Mr. F. Uaitie, our Consul General to Germany, in a lengthy review of the past year in that country, says: The new tax and duty impositions were necessitated as much by the wants of the Government aud the needs of agricultural and other interests iw by the increasing competition of foreign nations. Itussia having excluded German manufacturers almost entirely from her markets, and other countries contemplating similar steps, all more or less fortifying their argument in favor of higher duties by pointing to the United Mate* tu showiflj/ that protection mam* protpmt,>j and full purse# for the Government <m well a* to the people* I abstain from commenting upon this argument. lusewncre in ma report uiu i/uuaui General says: No hruncli of industrial activity in Germany law, owing to the new customs policy, assumed such an extension as the I German textile industry. Old branches of the latter, until then in a languid condition. have not only been revived, but entirely new methods of production I have been created. 1 The Consul General takes nothing from the facts by "abstaining from commenting upon this argument.'1 It is well known that since 1871>, when Germany entered upon her policy of Protection, her industries have quickencd and there has been u greater general ] prosperity than tlio present generation luid seen. It seems a little odd that the United SUites, which is well pointed to by foreign observers "as showing that Protection means prosperity and full purses for the Government as well as to the people," should now be aaked by some of her alleged statesmen to depart from un fulIv vimlii'iito,! liv lint VUV jlV.VJ UV. .?.V ,, must prosperous period in her history. It would bo stranger if the Americans were io consent to the change. Tim Apitroprhito Dumucratln Kmhlcm of ?SSH. American Notes mid Queries, in its issue of Juno :10th, now before us, gives the following interesting historical sketch of the red ragol Democracy: I The bandanna, it appears, is not anew feature in politics. In the early part of t his century it was waved in .England on the side of Free Trade. Up to 1S24 the J importation of foreign silk manufactures had been totally prohibited in the United Kingdom, not by heavy import duties, but by penal enactments. 44It was the despotism of monopoly, ternnercd only liv the smuggler.0 In a debate in the House of Commons, Joseph Hume created urcat amusement by flourishing his silk bandanna handkeyshief, exclaiming: "Here is a foreign ware that is totally prohibited. Nearly every ono oi you has a similar illicit artiele in his noeket. .So much for your prohibition I This was on March 5, 1824. On the same day Mr. Huskisson proposed (and the measure was carried) that the prohibition on the importation of silk manufactures should cease on the 5th of J ulv, 1 sii<J, that the duties on raw silk should be largely reduced, and those on thrown silk lessened one-half. The bandnnna had not been waived in vain. And so it seems that the American Freo Traders in 1888nru following in the footsteps of tlio English Free Traders of 1824. The parallel will stop short after election day. The American pooplo will not admit tho bandanna free. But they will knock tho snuff out of it! A FORJUSIl lOOCHAT OS CLEVELAND. Oii|i?me(l to HIh Free Trade Policy?Igno? r?uc? of American Illatory. Richard \Y. English, of Buffalo, who was tho Democratic City Auditor when Mr. Cleveland was Mayor of that city, was in New York the other day. Mr. Kngiish was a fearless ami clfectivo advocate of Mr. Bluino's election four years ago, basing his action, not on personal grounds, but on Cleveland's hostility to protection. Up to that time Mr. Kngiish had always been a Democrat. Ho announces hiit intention to support the U Iilinm tl.iu vnacilJ "i shall tflko off my coat," said Mr. English, "and do all in my power to aid the election of Harrison and Morton. I know hundreds of Democrats who voted for Blaine in 1884 who will do ns I mean to do this year. On the other hand, I know many Republicans who voted for Cleveland "who regret that they did so and who desiro to mako amends by voting for General Harrison. I am opposed to Mr. Cleveland bccause I know that lie is untrue to the (jrinciplea of American protection. During the campaign of 18w. when the Garfield procession was pawing through the streets of Buffalo, hundredsof Democrats uierched under the Itepuhlican banner of Protection. 1 stood with Mr. Cleveland watching the display. Pointing to the Democrats in the ranks, 1 said: 'You see now the results of a doubtful tariff policy/ 'Well,' replied Mr. Cleveland, 'it is all , right, isn t it? "Free Trade and Sailors' , Rights?isn't that right?'" whilethiHanswer showed a very limited knowledge on Mr. Cleveland's part of < the actual meaning of tho old 1812 war cry?'free trade and suilors' rights'?it was evident to me of his unsoundness I upon the great question underlying the ' Nation's prosperity. His action since t liis election, his undisguised sympathy 1 with Morrison's horizontal tariff bill, his t free trade message and his open advo- ( ?acy of the Mills hill, exhibit him oh a mini whn will not hesitato to iconardizo ! ho industries of the country in the in- y :erest of tho British manufacturers. I 1 predict that a handsome majority of the 1 voters of tho State of New\ork will be i found with me and against Cleveland 1 ind the free Haders next November." mm - 1 Just at present tho supreme bench is t Lhc bamboo settee. t A FOOLISH ATTACK ON HARRISON. ti Tho Attempt to Injure Him with the La- ^ horinjr J'eojtJe. . Iprimi/Ulil Republican (Mwjurump). The Indiana Democratsare makingqn pj inworthy attempt to prejudice work- tl; ngmen against Mr. Harrison because of Bt nis stand in relation to the railroad itrikers of 1877, which was entirely w :reditable. Tho circumstances have not 01 yet been forgotten in this country,which JJ for a tithe saw mob law invoked in a ^ ilozen cities and along railroads from w Maryland to the Mississippi, in the false guise of vindicating the rights of labor. ,r In that season of general alarm the strikers took possession, July 24, of the Jj Indianapolis depot, ami would let none 1 but mail trains depart. The Mayor had too P1 fow policemen should such a riot ensue c< as that at Pittsburgh two days before, ?> Mo called therefore a mass-meeting of hi citizens to organize for the protection of property. It was held, and nearly every 1U leading citizen was there, without distinction of party. A committee of public safety was appointed, one from each ward. Measures were taken not only to protect property, but toward arbitration of tlii* strike. Benjamin liar- u rison was a member of this committee, so was Prank lin I?auders, afterward r< Democratic candipato for Governor; and a conference wits held with the strikers. Landers. McDonald (Dem.), and llarri- ' son made excellent speeches, all recognized tho men's right to strike, but o warned them that they had no right to prevent others from working. Hnrrisou tl son offered to uso his influence f, to obtain an increase of wages, expressing his belief they were 0 too low. But as the peace was still ^ threatened tho Committee on Public Safety was organized, Sciuator Joseph'E. McDonald, Gen. Ben. Harrison, Conrad 1 Baker, Gen. W. Q. Gresham, Gen. T. A. 0 Morris, Gen. Daniel McG'auley and Gen. John Love being principal members, i| aud a large number of citizens enrolled li themselves under orders of tho committee. Gov. Williams, "Blue Jeans" Wil- l liams (Dem.j issued a sound and firm q proclamation, and, at the suggestion of i: the Committee of Public Safety, appointed Gen. Harrison to command tiie volunteer militia, but, as ho was already , a captain of one of tho companies organized t*? prevent rioting, Harrison declined, and Gen. McCauley was appointed. Gen. Greshain was commander f of another company. Gen. liar- J1 rison's company was detailed to * protect the united .States armory. He put this important, point r in a state of defense. It is certain that ? Harrison acted in a thoroughly humane i and proper spirit all through. Ho repelled any suggestion of attacking the 9 strikers unless it should become neces- t sary, a rid when the strike ended lie ex- j erted himself to have the arrested strik- j ers treated leniently. About 200 had been senienceu 10 nutciy nays' iinpnuon men t for contempt of court. General j Harrison went to Judge Drummond, suggesting that the law nad been sulliciently vindicated by the pronouncing of this sentence, and asking that the men bo released. Those who had already begun their terms were released, ' the others were discharged, and nothing ( more was heard of the prosecutions. 1 The Indianapolis Sentinel acts not only ( unworthily in attacking General Harri- ' son, but in a party sense foolishly, since the most prominent Democrats in the i .State were as much engaged in the pre- < servation of order as Harrison. It was < simply u citizen's duty. i I Tito Imniiu Well i'reauiitori. | Fairmont IIV?/ Viryinlnii. ' | An intelligent citizen of this place i cauie into the 1IV?< Virginian ollice the other day, just after the adjournment of tin? Chicago Convention, and abruptly remarked: "Well, J hope General Harrison will < not treat me :w bad us the other General Harrison did when lie was elected President." "Why, how is that?" we inquired. < "Jle reduced my wages to the starvation point," was the reply. "Did what?" 1 "I was getting $1.20 a day when Wil- ' liain Henry Harrison was elected," replied our friend, "aud within thirty i I dnvH afterwards mv waires were reduced i to forty-eight cents per day." We confessed to some surprise, when our visitor added, with a twinkle of humor in his eye: "But you see, circumstances ulter cases. 1 was working in the 'old country' at tJje time?Scotland. And I was a member of the Cobden Club. 1 tell you, sir, the workinguien of this country of the present day don't know anything about low wages and hard times. I have seen men each with a family to support-working for a shilling (twentyfour cents) per (lay and from that to two shillings per day; and each poor fellow would have to go everv evening and draw his pittance in order to keep his wife and children from starving. Talk about strikes! Why, those men rarely saw a piece of money; they were paid in store goods at high prices, and really had good rejwon often to strike against the impositions practiced upon them, but what could tboy do? Nothing whatever. JThey were forced by ne- t I cessity to accept what wan offered. They | couldn't strike." , "What about the cost of living in tho . old country as compared with this country?" we inquired. "Clothing is cheaper there than here, but everything else is about the same. Absolute necessities are high?beef es- J peeially being higher than it is here. I < Lave rarely known beef to sell for less than 18 cents per pound, while mutton ? was generally about 12 cents. The re- * suit was that tho working people were seldom able to indulge in tho luxury of a roast. They subsisted on the simplest 1 fare, and were scantily clad, notwithstanding clothing was cheap. This may be easily inferred from the fact that four 1 shillings per day was considered a high rate of wages and the majority of men got very much less than that. It is not B every workingnmn that will listen to reason now, but thero is not ono of them, if ho lives, who will not regrot th? adoption of the Democratic policy f< of free trado in this country, if it is c adopted." Thus spoke a practical, thoughtful man who knows exactly what lie is talk- ,, ing about. Tho workingmen, especially i( the miners of this county, ought to in- ti vestigato this subject for themselves and $ carefully consider the great responsibil- ? if v that this vear attaches to everv man's vote. The greatest of ull issues is pro- J lection to homo labor, the Republican i. party advocating and tho Democrats op- ? posing that proposition. K b THK BATTLE OF tifcTTl'SBUKfl. J The >'umber of M?iii Knipnged in the Great Conflict. vi Aetc Yo'k Trihunr. The battle of Gettysburg is remarka- j-? ble not only for its results, but for the tr fierce ami stubborn nature of tho conflict j} itself. The armies on both Hides were g large, though not so large perhaps as to K| mako the battle pre-eminent ou that ac (?unt. The ligures 011 this point are interesting. Those given by the Comte de Paris may be accepted as obtained by w careful investiention. The Army of the g Potomac, without French's division, of which had remained at Frederick, num- t; tared 107,251 men, but nearly 28,000 Jj were in the hospitals, and more m than 21,000 were on detached ser- y? rice. The number of men J prcs- " nt with their corps wero 112-, )88, and that of men under arms 09,>55. About 5,000 men came as reinforcements under .Stannard and Lockvood, making a totaf effective force ot ? 105,000 men and 352 pieces of artillery, tii Hut 2,750 troops were on duty ot head- cu iu arte re; the cavalry, numbering 10.500, JJj wero not seriously enraged; 3,000 to ki 1,000 wore serving as additional guards lear supply-trains, batteries, etc., and there were probably 4.000 to 5,000 strag?lere. The Comte do I'aris therefore es- \ mates the Union forces seriously eniged ut from 82,000 to 84,000 men. Ae>rding to the official reports the Union 88 was -,834 killed, Hi,700 wounded, icluding ten generals, ami <1,045 risoncrs, or 23,in a!l. Hut leae figures do not tell the whole oij. The hospital records show the arutl of 3,575 union corpses, ami it is (timated that l,000or 1,100died of their ouuds. It isestimuted that Lee brought i the battle-field for actual- service (18,K) to 09,000 men and 250 guns. The onfederates liad 2,0<15 killed, 12,5!M) ounded, including thirteen generals, id 7,104 missing, or 22,728 in all, makig their losses almost exactly the same i those of the Union forces, though the tter army was the larger by one-fourth. Iiese losses were enormous, being 27 er cent of the Union army, and 80 per snt of the Confederate army. They re proofs of the stubborn bravery qf oth the blue and the gray, which the irvivors of to-day can recall with pride j well as with sorrow. MEN OP THE DAY. Archibald Forbes is seriously ill.
