Republican Meeting.
A fair audience greeted the Hon.
0. Jacobs and L. B. Andrews last
evening. The speeches were splan
did. Mr. Andrews spoke chiefly of
the condition of Ireland, under pro—
tection, and how she was happy. con
tented and prosperous. He showed
how Brittain had first taken away
her parliament. then her protection,
and how she was now sufi‘ering from
poverty, with no business thriving.
no contentment among her people.
no prosperity at all. This, he aflirm
ed, would be our condition, too. if we
fell into the fatal error of free trade.
Mr. Jacobs spoke of the reasonsi
why he was a Republican. He rm‘
ferred to the past grand history ofj
the party, and said it was a grand}
record—the guarantee that the party ‘
had character, a disposition to do
right. He referred especially to the;
financial record of the party, and‘
showed how the nation was bank-1
rupted by the war. and how, with a
war that required billions of money,
they had, in twenty-four years’ time, ‘
restored the confidence of the people,
reduced the interest to 3} per cent,
and had a fine surplus in the treasu~
ry. He spoke of Mr. Voorhees’ rec
ord, and claimed that, excepting the
one item of custom house, be, (Mr.
Jacobs) had during the four years
that he was delegate, secured more
money than had Mr. Voorhees. The
custom house, he claimed, was far
more due to Port Townsend’s busi
ness representatives than to Mr.
Voorhees.
The meeting closed with enthuai
ism and was a sueceea
Who are They?
There may be some men who toil
for their daily bread; whose hands
are hardened with toil, and who have
been doing their best all these years,
who approve of the partiality of
President Cleveland to the great,
rich corporations known as National
banks. to whom he has just made his
magnificent donation of government
money amounting to $2,500,000 per
annum for two years.
For this they render the govern
ment absolutely no compensation.
If a laboring man was on the verge
of starvation the government would
not loan him a 2-cent postage stamp.
President Cleveland evidently loves
the great corporations and they love.
him.
This was doubtless a political
trick on his part to secure the favor
of these great monied institutions
and get their help in his reelection.
Whether or not these National banks
contribute to the campaign fund of
the Democrat party. would be an in
teresting question. but does not ef
fect the right or wrong of Mr. Cleve
land’s action. Do our workingmen
approve this lending of this great
sum of $60,000,000 without any in~
terest to these great, rich corpora—
tions! If they do, then they had
better emphasize the fact by voting
for C. S. Voorhees and Chas. Douo- }
van. If they do not approve this
fraud, then they had better empha
size their dislike by voting for John
B. Allen and all true republican
nominees in a way to rebuke this
favoritism and corruption. Who are
the working men that are going to
vote their approval of this matter?
If. in granting franchises for street
railways, our city is giving privileges
that can be held without improve
ment and speculated upon, we are
very much opposed thereto. If it
means improvement, even on a very
limited scale, we are greatly in favor
thereof. “'9 very much hope that
the company having the franchise
already granted, will ”break ground 1
soon and put a car in motion. Then,
even if the road is not very long we
can wait for its extension.

Does it happen that the Spokane

that has a democrat president?
But. says Secretary Fairchild, “If
these banks lend money at 5 per cent
they gain $50,000 on each million. If
they loan at 6 per cent. then they do
not make much. If they loan at 7
per cent then they actually lose mon
ey.” This from the Secretary of the
Treasury Department of the United
States! Bah! Mr. Call, please give
us common sense. Please do not
quote any more such miserable twad
die as this. If this is the only de
fense possible, what a confession of
incompetency! Can there be found
an honest man in the United States
who will vote to continue such in
competency in office?
Approaching Decisxon‘
In a few days the nation will by
ballot settle the contest as to who
shall be president for the next four
years. There are always principles
involved in an election, and rarely is
a man of more importance than the
‘ issue. In this case the issue is near
‘ly evciything; the man is secondary.
The issue is between cheap labor and
an impoverished laborer and the no.
:bility of the common people. In
lAmerica, where the plebian is the
' sovereign, it is all-important that our
labor be dignified and intelligent.
In order to do this he must have a
good table, some luxuries, some leis
ure and some surplus. Children must
be in the schools, not-in the factom
ries. Womanhood must be enshrin?
ed in the home, not in the factory
boarding house. Work will not hurt
our Working men, nor will good.
moral, healthful work harm our wom
en. We do not plead for idleness,
nor for refinement as against toil;
but we do insist that, in order to the
proper exercise of his responsibility
as a free man, our laborer mast. be a
home builder. He must have an in~
telligent grasp of current knowledge
and be able to supply himself with
literature.
In order to do this he must have
pay for his labor over and above the
bare necessities of life. This is what
the Republican party is resolved the
laborer shall have. The tide of im
migration coming to these shores
must be stopped, and the product of
this foreign labor must be kept out.
This is the only true policy for the
American people. Over against this
is the open port idea of the Demo—l
cratic party. Mr. Cleveland’s mes-t
sage was a free trade message. One
half of the Democratic papers are
pleading for free trado. The other
half are free traders, too, only they
dare not say so just now. Every
avowedly free trade paper in the na
tion is howling for Cleveland.
With these facts before them. the
people must choose between the prin
ciples involved, and the only way to
vote for a principle is to vote for the
men that represent that principle.
AMamfest Fraud-
The Call of last evening publishes
the old horse‘chestnut of former
years. It runs as follows:
THEY wsxr noxsv IMMEDIATELY.
; The following circular letter was
‘ received by a prominent democrat in
this city, from the "Headquarters of
the Republican National Executive
Committee.” dated in New York,
Oct. 24. 1888.
The contents of this letter is.
briefly stated. as follows:
Mr Dsss Sm:~We want money
badly, and we want it immediately.
Will you please see to it that the ac
companying appeal is sent out at
once? Yours Very Truly.
M. S. Qusr,
Chairman.
This is mainit'estly a fraud, but if
it were a true letter and all genuine
it certainly is no disgrace.
Is it not wrong for our city to
’ grunt so many wharf franchises an 11
gratuity? These will, by and by, be
very valuable and the city will, be
{ure very long, need :1 wharf of its
own. In time it will need several‘
and its most valuable franchises Willi
hexane.
Those calls for money. ‘
The Annx's did not doubt the recep- l
til-n of cali~ for money by prominent i
d~ u: u‘i‘ats of this cityAostensiblyg
signvd by Chairman Quay. We did
and do doubt their genuineness.
’That is one way of fraudulent elec—
‘tionecring that our democratic friends
have practised too often. Every
election for a series of years back
somebody has tried that old dodge
jaud has sent to democrats pretended
.calls from the republican party for

iinfvrt-nve that the republican party

[l:9 democratic party that it resorts
to such expedients.
Jefferson county needs aman in
the legislature who will see to it that.
the oflices of sherifi' and assessor are
separated; who will secure it possi~
ble an amendment to our road laws
so as to afi‘ord greater efficiency—
better results from road taxes; who
will see that congress is properly
and forcibly memorializcd on the
subject of appropriations for proper
fortifications at the entrance of Pu—
get Sound, and for a military road
along the Straits of Fuca to Cape;
Flattery, and for a navy yard and ‘
government dry docks. Port Town~ ‘
send should be specially interested ‘
in securing an appropriation from
the territorial treasury for improve
ment of local navigation. Honest ‘
voters, what do you think about it?
putrid Mr. Weir or Mr. Donovan
best serve your interests? The lat
ter is no speech maker. He has
made no speech in this campaign.
He can make no speech in the legis—
lature if elected. Do you think such
a man could accomplish so much for
you as would a man who has been
known to accomplish something here‘
toforo by voice? Democrats have
urged Mr. Voorhees' re~election on
the ground of his being in political
accord with the lower house of con—
gress, and therefore in position to
accomplish more for his constituents.
If there be anything in that argu
ment, then they ought to vote for
Mr. Weir; because he will certainly
be in political accord with the ma
jority of the legislature. What do
you think about it?
We can hardly understand how, in
the explanation of the Call, the in~
equalities of the assessments of our
two tinners can be adjudged right
and fair. Mr. Norris, according to
the Call, was willing to have 1:35.000
stock assessed at. $2,500. Mr. Shee~
han assessed his own stock and all
other personal property at but SBOO.
‘Now, we are not criticising Mr. lNor
ris. He may be a hero or a martyr,
but did Mr. Sheeban do right in
‘making that great difference in val
iues of two businesses which seem to
be so nearly equal? If it is an
equal assessment, then Mr. Sheehan
had but $1,600 of stock. a supposi
tion quite improbable. It the stock
thus represented was more nearly
equal, why was not Mr. Sheehan,
who was and is derivmg a great rev
en'ue from the country, as public
spirited as Mr. Norris, who was not
deriving such revenue?
The Cbehalis N ugget. while de~
elm-ing that John B. Allen’s upeecb
was the weakest thing in the cam~
paign, uses five and a half columns
in trying to counteract it. It is a
dead give away, isn’t it?
‘ The government fixes the wheat
growing area of eastern Washington
at 7,600,000 acres, and states the
average yield at 25 bushels per acre.
The yield at that rate for the whole
section may be 187,500,000 bushels,
which at a valuation of fifty cents
per bushel would create a. wealth of
393350.000. The possibilities of
Washington are illimitable. She
will be the richest state in the
Union—Blaine Journal.
The Vancouver Register says that
a change has been made in the man~
agement of the Vancouver, thttat

given by the pie was converted
into a stock engecrtphon. and enough

« Lessonin Statesmanship.
The popular argument with the Amer
icmi Anglomaniac, who contends that
Irish laudlordiam is as defensible an
American landownerahiu is absurd in its
ignorant disregard of the facts. Almost
evury acre of tillnhle land in Ireland was
cwtiscated three times. 'l‘o-day 95 per
cent of the cultivators are in the coudi~
nun ottenants at will. save such small
protection as the land act of 1881 and
the organized efforts of the land league
can secure them.
In the famine year of 1847 the London
Times described the relations of land
lord and tenants at will in Ireland as
that of “Spartans among a helot peasan
try. almost planters among negro slaves."
'l he tenant at “I'l could be evicted with
all his crogu in the ground. If he made
any imprchment up went his rent with
no allowance for betterments.
The landlord was generally a spend
thrift absentee aristocrat. notvacldom an
alien. whose only purpose has that of
brutal and thrittleas economy which
squeezes the last penny out of the peas
ant. who knew nothing but agriculture,
whose very lite lay in the land. With
out land he had his choice between .
the Workhonee. death or emigration.‘
Furthermore, the Irish have had no‘
fair chance to frame the statutes under}
which they have starved, while in Amer ‘
ica the poorest man carries a ballot un-‘
der his hat.
i So fearfully poor are the Irish peasan—
try on the sen coast of Oonnaught that
‘ they are unable to procure seagoing
boats and nets. and have therefore. been
in the past uanahle to benefit by their
. rich fisheries.
They have been obliged to creep along
the shore in wretched skins and fish
_ with back and line. while the fishermen
of England, Scotland. Wales. France
. and Holland grew rich casting their nets
, on the best fishing grounds from stout
' fishing smacks. able to ride the open
sea.
For many years the English govern
ment has been asked to advance the
} Irish fishermen the funds in the form of
a loan that were necessary to procures

The result has been the building of

“Nothing that partyfieaders in the
United States may do on the eve of a
Presidential election ought to excite
astonishment. Mild curiosity is
rather the attitude of mind with which
President Cleveland’s [Retalliatory]
Message to Congress upon the re.
jection of the Fishery treaty [a treaty
which had been approved by him
self 1 will be received in this coun
try. Until the Republican party in
the Senate procured the rejection of‘
the treaty nothing could be more
powerful than she appeals of DumoJ
cratic leaders and journals to seize‘
the opportunity {oflered by the‘
Chamberlain-Glue and arrange
ment} of settling a great interns
tioua question by amicable compro
mise. . . .Mr. Cleveland has un
doubtedly laid himself open, in his
recent Message, to the criticisms of
his opponents that. if his present
advice is justified by sound policy,
the previous proceedings of his Gov
ernment must have been the out
come ot culgable weakness. . . .
The re rose of being too friendly
with great Britain did President
Cleveland a great deal of harm. . .
‘By his sudden change of front the
{President holds himself out as tin
advocate of something hugely ad
mired by American voters—a spirit
ed foreign policy. . . .It is a
masterly move. and the President
may fairly be congratulated upon
his adroitness.”
“Quite Englinh. _Yon any."
A day or two after Cleveland’s
Free Trade Message was oabled over
to England a cartoon on the sub
'ect, entitled “Quite English. You
know,” appeared in London Punch;
with a song of six verses approrriate‘
to the subject and efipressiveo Eng
‘ land’s delight. A ew York free
itrade daily has the following cable
about the cartoon and its accompa
‘ niment:
[From the New York Herald, Dec. 15.]
The cartoon is denominated ”Quite
English, You Know." The Presi
dent is pictured in the act of saying
to Mme. Columbia. “Will you allow
me to introduce this young lady!"
a song and air verses and a chorus,
denominated also “Quite En lish.
You Know,” and a parody Elf an
other page. Its second head-lino
runs. “The latest version, as sung by
President Cleveland.” The first
verse and chorus are as follows:
