Don'ts For Republicans

Don"t make excuses for the republican nattonal politics on the tariff or mone.v queetion. That's all right ! Don't accuso the republican national committec, or its ehairman, of lack of energy, induetry or ability. They are all rigtlt ! Don't say the result might have been different witli other eandidate.s, for it wouldn't. Don't join the democratie cry, "The tariff did it !" This nation is still lor protection by a large majority. Above all, don't because the demócrata are in control. They will not be títere long. - Mail & Express. ■ The superintendent of the nciv plush factory established at Eridgeport, Conn., by gir Titus Salt, Sons & Co., 6ays that no more goods will be made at present, aod that ii the McICinley btll is repealed they will go back to England, and adds these significent words : "I don't see why the people of this country were ao anxious for a changi'. During the last four years it is the only country that has been prosperous." This is only one of many. The road of defeat is a hard road to travel. But the mud road is a still harder road to travel. And yet ne&tly ;1I the p;-ople of ths country travel iit and make no effort to secure a better one. They plod on through slush and mire and ruts and mud and filth, Bpoiling their vehitles, ruining their hors-es, sonrijig (their tempeis and subeeting themselves not only to the inconvenience of tlie thing, but to dollars upon dollars of loss in hard coin.

This country has all the raw material of that eort which it can assimilate in a score of yea.rs or moro. It is not only a positiie datnger to the laboring men of Amerita, bu.t it is a fearlul s train upon the nation itselt'. By all rneans let Mr. Powderly's word? be heeded. Let immigration be restrieted or stopped entirely. Let it become a criminal act for the agente of the great Atlantic -steamship Tnes to solicit and drum up emrgrants. The emigration o America would not be one-half what is if it Avere not for the indueements held out by theee agents who paint Jiis country in such glowing colors, and vrho care only for the poor emgrant's little savings that they have o pay tor passage. The genuine emigrant, -who formerly ame to this country for patriotic motives, to build himself a home and letter his condition ought to be welomed, but the horde of paupers that are now being brought over simply to well the coffers of the great steamhip lines, ought to be prohibited from anding, the same as are the Chinese.
