If they meant any thing by their platform or in fact unless they are the most conscienceless litrs on earth, their policy is free trade, State banks, "wild cat" money and the overthrow of . American factories. Our esteem ed neighbor the New attempts to say that we are still living under Republican laws and that there is as yet no free trade. Yesfthe McKinley bill is still in operation but have they not promised the people to repeal this act as soon as they have an opportunity ? This means that next year the Democratic idea of '?tariff-reform free-trade" will be in full blast and as a result wool has dropped to free-trade prices and every thing else is getting down to that oasis as rapidly as possible. Who can blame the manufactur ers for getting out of the track of the coming c.vclone ? Their VutaTl>ld It. The Homestead strike and every other unfortunate clash be tween capital and labor were used by the Democrats as texts to poison the minds of the work ing people of the country and get them to '-strike a blow at our manufacturers. Well, they have struck, or as Bill Nye would put it, "they have done gone and done it" Thousands of poor de luded laborers are now looking for work and finding none. The little that they have laid up will soon be exhausted and the chilly wlndsof winter will find them homeless-and desperate. Starva tion will drive many to a life of theft and crime and the Tele gram suggests that there is more need of strong locks on meat houses and granaries this fall than ever before in this generation. East and West the tale is the same. The threat of free trade is closing mills and mines, stopping loom and spindle and lathe, taking the pick and shovel from the hand of the miner, curtailing employment and enforcing idleness, .crime and licenciousness. The list of closed factories and suspended banks continues to grow larger. ' Where will it end? Q& , ?-1' . wsm, meet in cod Saturday, A' PROGRAM..

On Tuesday the great corner in pork collapsed at Chicago, and in less than forty-five minutes mess pork dropped from 118.75 per barrel to 110.50. Many promi nent firms went down in the crash, and the scene for several hours at the Board of trade Build ing indicated a huge'panic. This has, or oourse, had the effect of reducing the price of pork else where. The New South And the World's fair.
