ONLY a few yoars ago the republican orator was met by the *“salt” in- quirers in the audience. “Why has the republican party put up the tariff on the poor mun’s salt?” was asked. Salt in the free trade period cost #3.60 per bacrel. The tariff law of 83 slapped a heavy tariff on it, and now it sells for about 81.25 per barrel. The tariff was, you see, a tax as usual. E——— Tue law passed by congress making a working day, for weun employed on gov- ernment works, eight hours with ten hours’ pay will have the effect of shav ing appropriatious for public buildings about 12 per cent. Of course,the Owmaha postofice will be included in this cut uud, a8 in all other cases, an effort will probably be mude to increate the appro- priation to cover the difference. THE CAMPAIGN IN 10WA, The campaign in Towa has not yet nc- tively openad. The parties have made their nominations and the political com- mittees are preparing to get down to soild woris, but the vigorous, nggressive business of the campaign is to come. The promiso is that when it is entered upon it will be one of the most animated and spirited in the history of the stato. The republicans are getting ready to push the fighting at overy point and they are well equipped to carry on a campaign that will keep the opposition very busy from the opening to the finish. The present aspect of the situation is highly encouraging to the republicans, The oy is not harmonious. There uve factional difforences which it may not be easy to scttie. The state convention created disnppointments that, are deep rooted. Some of these ars merely personal, while those of a more serious character relate to the general composition of the ticket, The element or faction of the party which succeeded in bagging most of the pri democt .means judicious in its solections. as a whole the ticket is weak, and there is every reason to expect that it will not poll the natural strength of the party. As to the people’s party. thore are no indieations that 1t is likely to gainin gth or to prove anything near as dable us has been apprehended more carefully the intolligent s and workingmen of lowa, as of other states, consider the doctrines and ples of the new party the more certain is it that many of them who have identified themselves with 1t will renounce that connection before elec! day and return 1o their former nolit alleginnce. This is already taking place in several statos, and o rapid disintegra- tion of the people’s party in the west may safely be predicted. So far as the prohibition party in fown is concerned, 1t will cut o very small figure. Four years ago it cast 8,550 votes and it wili hardly do better thun this the yeur. The republicans of Towa are, there- fore, favored by both local and national conditions, Their candidates are men of ability and character, who have the confidenee of the party and the respect of all good citizens. They are united and harmonious, having no factional differences or disappointnents to over- come. The generaily prosperous conai- tion of the people is an allsufficient answer to the theories of the free traders and the assertions of the calam- ity howlers. Every industrious and thrifty farmer and mechanic in the state knows from practical expevience that the present tariff law has worked no injury to his intevests, and he knows also, if he has given the matter thought- ful investigation, that the producer and the laborer would suffer first and most severely from the operation of the wild financial schemes of the people’s party. With intelligent, thinking men of these classe 'y little argumant is needed to convinee them that the policy and prin- ciples of the republican party, vindi- cated as they are by the magnificent vesults of the past thirty years, are still necessary to the material progress and prosperity of the nation. The republicans of Iowa have every reason to be hopeful and confident. With a0 energetic and aggressive campaign they ought to win an old-time victory. AN ORJIECT LESSON. There aro butlding in Jamestown, N. Y. a city whose manufacturing industries have largely incrensed since the present tarifl law went into effect, factories for the manufacture of silk plushes, astra— chans, rugs, shawls and worsteds. This plant is being constructed by the Eng lish firm of Heunry Lister & Son, doubt- less well known to most American dealers in the above named goods, which for nearly half a century have been manufacturing in Huddersfield and Horbury, England. The firm some time ago decided to closo up their factories abroud, where they employed 1,200 oper- atives, and remove their business to the United States. The construction of tho factories at Jamestown is the outcome of this decision, The McKinley tariff is responsible for this transplanting of an important in- dustry from England to America. M. Henry R. Lister states that his father and himsell were led to take this coursoe he under the presout tariff they had nearly lost the American market, which gave them about 90 por cent of their business. Until two years ago they had a trade in this country of nearly a million dollars a your, but when the present tarilf Law went into effect their husiness was paralyzed. Orders from the United States were cancelled, and to quote Mr. Lister, **The value of our stock went down and downsuntil the stufl was hardly worth anything.” The ftirm suffered a heavy loss from this depreeiation, but continued to do business, *honing that the bili would be repealed and that we could ngain get control of the American market.” The situation, howevor, kept growing worse and it was finally decided to come to the United States in order to make sure of the American market. The firm will not start business here with as many operatives as they employed in England in the period of their prosperity, but they expect ultimately to mtertally increase their plant and give employ- ment to at least 2,000 people, who will be paid batter wages than like opora- tives in Eagland. Mr. Lister said thers was no renson why they could not manufacture thair goods ns successfully in this country as in England, and here they had the best market in the world, which is steadily improving. **The nopulation is notonly immense,” said Mr. Lister, **hut the per cupita consumption iy greater than in any other country, which is accounted for by the fact that the Amorican working and middle classes are mMOre prosperous thun any- where else and buy more freely, while in England, T am sorry to say, the buy- ing capacity of the masses in seriously decreasing.” Mr. Lister said it would be imposeivle for American manu facturers o pay the wages provailing in this country and compste with English manufacturers without the pro tection which the taviff gives Here is a highly Intsresting and sug gestive object lesson as to the effect of the existing tariff apou ut least one Eng lish industry, and it is entively reason- use Y ablo to conciude that it docs not stand I'HE OMAHA | alone. In fact it is well attested that other industries have had a somewhat similar experience, and it is by no moans | improbabie that a number of British manufacturors are contemplating the | course taken by Lister & Son in case the American people next November de- | mand by their verdict at the polis a con- tinuance of the poliey of protection. | They are hoping, as Lister & Son did, | for the repoal of the McKinley law, and should they find that the people of this country do not desire its repeal it is not to be doubted that many of them will muke haste to avail themselves of the benefits of the American system of pro- tection and put themselves in connection with the best market in the world, NT ALLUSION MEN. over Cleveland professes to be deeply devoted to the interests of the workingman, The democratic party never has lost an opportunity to declare its love for the toiler. Yet that most devoted and servile admirer of Cleve- land, free trade and the democratic party, tho illustrated journal called LPuck, delivers itself of this editorial utterance: *“There has been too much nonsensical coddling of the honest workingman, He seems to have got a notion that there is somethipg holy about him because he works with his hands, This rubbish ought to be kunocked out of him.” We do not believoe that the working- men of this country vegard themselves as holy because they work with their hands, nor does their general conduct indicate that they need to have aoy rubbish knocked out of them. As a class they are minding their own busi- ness, earning their wi honestly and contributing by their industry to the prosperity and wealth of the country at large. They will naturally resent such a characterization as that quoted above from one of Cleveland’s mosu valued A PLEAS 10 WORKIN ARDING SU e JOURGE. It is not easy for the American peoplo to appreciato the state of terror into which the inhabitants of Russia have been thrown by the spread of the awful cholera scourge which is now claiming thousands of vietims every day in that unfortuaate count be- tween 8,000 and 10,000 new cases.ure re- ported and the number of deaths daily is between 3,000 and 4,000. The disease has obtained a foothold in a very rge extent of territory and the people are s poorly prepared to cope with it that its progress is not likely to be checked until the advent of cool weather. To Lof add to the horror of the situation mobs of ignorant and superstitious p2ople have attacked the hospitals and mur- dered the doctors and nurses in large numbers upon the suspicion that they were responsible for the death of pa- tients placed under their care. The whole of the infected region is in a fer- ment of excitement and the situationis appalling in the extreme. 1n view of the prevalence of this dread disease in Kurope the action of the United States authorities to make'sure of its ¢ usion from this eountry seems fuily justified. The supervising su goon general of the marine hospital service, with the approval of the acting secretary of the treasury, hus issued a circular letter of instructions to all col- lectors of customs, meaical officers of the United States marine hospital service, agents of foreign steamship lines, loeal quarantine officers und others, directing that after September 18 no ve: av- ing on board personal baggage, bedding, clothing, ete., belonging to immigrants from Russia or any cholera infected dis- trict of Burope shall be admitted to entry into the United States unless ac- companied by a satisfactory certificute from the consular officer at the port of embarkation. In 1873 cholera was introduced into the United States by means of immi- grants’ baggage. It raged in this coun- try with terrible effect and claimed. thousands ol victims. It is hoped that the mensures that have now been taken to prevent a repetition of the scourge here will prove effective. IN THE HOME OF HIS BOYHOOD, The reception of Whitelaw Reid at the home of his bovhood in Cedavville, 0., proved that ho is regarded by his old friends and neighbors with groat af- fection and esteom. His aged mother lives there and he went this year, as ho has done in all previous years, to it her. His visit had no political signifi- cance whatever, and he expected no formal demonstration. But the people would not have it so. They desired to wive expression to their admiration of the man who has been nominated by tho republican party for the office of vice president of the United States, A pub- lic meeting had been arravged- and Mr, IRsid was presented to the assembled peoplo by George W. Harper, a demo- crat. In his speech My, Harper said: **We honor him for his cournge and in- dustry, his great intellectual and moral powers, and becauss ho has used them Lo elovate, educate and ennoble man- kind.” This was a fino tribute to Mr. Reid. It would bo diffi ‘ult to say move for any nan than that he possesses courage, in- dustry and great intellectual and moral powera, and that he uses his powers to elovate and educate mankind, That kind of & man must bo an ideal Ameri- can citizen. Mr. Roid stands very high in the estimation of those who know him bast, and this is the surest indication that he is worthy of confidence. At TION is divected to the fact that the date of the Republican State league moeting has besn changed from August 24 to August 31, the date of the national league meeting having baen changed to September 15. Dolegates to the state league meeting can now take advantage of the reduced rates to Grand Island on account of the Geand Army encamp ment, and can aiso have the pleasure of seeing the old veterans on the tented fiold. The changed date will be a con- veunience to many republicans.

No doubt building will soon be resumod again, for thee is plenty of idle capi iting for investment in any enterprise that promisos profit.

He was too tired to talk until this morning and said that he knew very little about Obio politics as a result of his visit. “There cau bo only oue result,” he said. “‘Wo may have troublo in one or two dis- tricts, but everything seems all right other- wise.” Tue Bee correspondent dirooted the secre- tary’s attention to anm article published in the Philadelphia Ledger prodicting a $40,- 000,000 deficit this year.

As amatter of fact, the letter is not yet ready, and, as arcady stated in theso dispatehes, it will not bo ready beforec the 25th inst. next, but the chauces are the document will bé given to the public Monday morning next. When it comes to the white house from Loon Lako it will be copied and prepared for simultaneous distribution. ‘I'he reuson that it will proba- bly be given to the public Monday morning is th the Saturday and Sun- day papers aro cousidered noor veh'cies of distribution and that the Monday morn- g paper is so hghtly furnished with news that any news matter of iwportance fur- nished it hus little to compote with for pub- lic mterest.

Here for o amplo is Mr. McCune, who is represonted as showing that tha third party is to throw the election 1uto the house and senate, and thus secure the eloction of General Field for vice president. He says: “The prosident and vice president cannot both bo from the samo stato. The senate, thoreforo, canuot elect Mr. Reid if Cleveland is chosen in tho houso, They would tuen be confined In their choice to Stevenson and our man Field, and they would certainly take tho latter.” ' Mr. ‘McCune should reread his copy of the con- stitution. It does not say that the president aad vice president eannot bo both from the same state, but that *‘tho electors shall meet in their respective states and voto by ballot for president and vice president, one of whom, at least, shall not ' be an inbabitant of tho same state with themselves.” Iiven undev this provision a president and vice president might be chosen from the same state. It was in- teaded, apparently, to prevent a party from nominating both candiantes from one state. The house is not limited us to its cholce of president, except that it chooses from the three highest on the list of thoso voted for as presigent. und votes by states; tho senate makes its choice from the two highest on the list, so, presumably, Gencral Keld would not'ba eligible to bo voted for atall if the election of vice president should be thrown into the senate, Nota ¢ New York Comnereial, No> matter what bonsts the domocratio party organs muke or what delusive tactics their campaign managers resort to, hon democrats are willing to admit in’ private that they have nota ghost of a chance of carrying Now York or the country.
