For Harrison

[.Special Correspondente. 1 Washington, Oct. 24. - Information received here points to certain Republican victory. This inforination indicates that the people are making a eareful study of the situation and alternatives offered by the two parties and their platforms. Since this is being done there can be little doubt as to the result. The business men are thinking it over. A large proportion of them have established and built up their business under the present protective system. The average business man of today has established his business since the protective system waa adopted thirty years ago. Those who inherited a business established prior to that time have adapted it to the protective system of the last thirty years. Henee every business man who knows that the election of Cleveland means a Democratie house, senate and presiden cy sees that a general chahge in the system of the conduct of the government would change the conditions vinder wbich he has had business prosperity, and at the same time so unBettle the general business conditions as to render investments unsafe, and capitalists unwilling to enter upon business enterprises. The manufacturera are seeing that their industries have wonderf ully developed; that the balance of trade has been $700.000,000 in favor of this country in the past ten years, while in the same time it kas been $8,500,000,000 against free trade Great Britain. Henee they prefer to retain a system under which their individual business and our national commerce have both been prosperous. Their employees are seeing that the rates of wages in protected United States are doublé those paid in free trade England, and that employment is more certain here than in countries not having a protective system. Henee they will vote with the ftepublican party. The farmers are remena bering that President Harrison's administration has, by its energetic efforts in their behalf , increased foreign markets for their products immensely. Not only has the vigorous work of this administration caused a reopening of markets for our meats, but through reciprocity our other farm produets have been given advantages abroad, and the foreign sale of all agricultural products bas been increased $275,000,000. Henee the farmers will vote with the Republicans. Merchants and financial men recogi nize the fact that the Democratie party is pledged to substitute for the national banking system unlaxed and unguaranteed issues of state bank currency, which was so disastrous to all business interests before the war. Henee they will support the Republican candidates. The people of the great west are remembering that Mr. Cleveland's administration of the land office devoted its chief energies to preventing people frorn obtaining homes and homesteads, instead of aiding them, as this administration has done. Cleveland's comniissioners of the land office charged that 40 per cent. of the homestead entries were fraudulent; that 90 per cent. of the timber culture entries were fraudulent, and that 100 per eent. of the pre-emption files were fraudulent. It suspended hundreds of thousands of claims for homes, and went out of office leaving 950,953 j entries for homes unacted upon. President Harrison's administration has cleared up all of these and acted upon all others which have come in the meantime. The people of the west, remeinbering these things, will vote with the Republieans. The old soldiers remember that President Cleveland refused his signature to 534 pension bilis, while all the presidents who had preceded him had only taken this action upon five bilis. They remember that Cleveland's administration ejected thousands of soldiers froin office and showed its lack of sympathy for them at every step. Henee they will vote with the Republicans. The foreign born citizens compare their condition in this country with that of free trade countries, and are unwilling to exchange the system which has given them prosperity here for the system which pays starvation wages abroad, and which they lef t their foriner homes to escape. Henee they will vote with the Republicaus. The colored voters remember that it is to the Republicau party that they owe their present free and prosperous condition, and that a large share of the Democratie party is conducting the campaign under the inspiriting and unjust cry of "No forcé bilí; no negro domination.'" O. P. Atjstin. Iïoth branches of congress will necessarily be Democratie in case of President Harrison's defeat. We canuot lose tlie presidency and save either the semite or the house. Therefore it must seein to ordinary citizens as an uppalling proposition to reverse absolutely the policies under which their present prosperous eondition was begun and is now being maiiitained. - Chairman Carter. The lust time the Democratie party controlled presidency, house aud senate It plotted the destruction of the government and brought on a war which cost hundreda of thousands of live and billiona of money. Tour failure to vote for Harrison may restore them to full power for the first time stiico 18G0. ïoor vote may determine th result. I would lik to know how any goldiei can vote for two men, both drafted on the same day, against a man who served his country as loyally as Harrison did in the time of perll. - General Henry W.
