that was rursued in all the States north oil
the Potomac and Ohio by the original
Jacksonians. Are The present Locotocos
in Indiana of the same faith with the jack
sonans of 1921 We answer no. They
elected Whitcomb Governor, and he relied
on his published free trade doctrines
doctrines which had always been opposed
by Gen. Jackson, and with his friends IN
Indiana in 1928 repudiated with scorn.-
What reason, we ask The " Democrats "
Of Indiana, can they give why we should
not pass sentence of condemnation on them
for sailing under false colors, when they
pretend TO be of the schools of Jackson
and jefferson! The Democracy" OF
1928, in this State, sustained Jackson be-
cause he was the Incorporating friend
of internal improvements and protective
tariff; and the Democracy of ls43
sustained James Whiicomb because he
was the Incorporating opponenl OF both.
Those excellent and consistent men,
who call themselves Democrats in Ohio,
are as unlike the Democrats of 1928 as
their brethren in Indiana. They too, are
advocates Of the free trade doctrines,
which their predecessors in 1928 opposed
with the most uncalculatiRg vehemence.-
All the old eleciioneerIng documents IN ia
yor of jackson are full Of protection and
internal improvements and Of arguments
TO prove that lie was the champion of these
interests.
In May, 1898, the Jackson Democracy
Of Cincinnati gave public dinner to The
Hon. Henry Baldwin, of Pennsylvania
The notice Of the dinner was published in
tho papers at the time, and ran in these
words "a public dinner will be given in
this city to tie Hon. Henry Baldwin of
Pi,tsburg, by the friends of Gen. Jackson
and domestic manufactures. Ii was fash.
ionable, as we have said, at that time TO
connect Gen. jackson and domestic manu-
features together, as il their support de-
pended Oh his elevation to the Presidency,
and beyond all doub, many thousands Of
votes were given TO him by the people
who considered him the very Atlas Of the
protective system.
Perhaps some Of the Jefiersonian and
Jacksoniar anti.Tariif Democrats Of the
day may say that Jackson's opinions were
not like those Of his advocates. Well,
listen TO the old chief himself. 10 his cell
cbrated letter to Mr.. Coleman, of North
Carolina, he says:
"This tariff mean judicioas one

will ask what is the real situation Of the
agriculturistl Where has the American
farmer a market for his surplus produce 7
Except for cotton, he has neither foreign
nor home market. Does not this clearly
prove, when there is no market at home
or abroad, that there is too much labor
employed in agriculture, aud that the
channels for labor should be multiplied p
Common sense points out the remedy

This is exactly the argument the Wings
use now. We arc continually endeayor-
ing to convince The Locofocos, that, in
running wild on the subject of free trade,
they are pursuing course, which, if sue
cessful, will bring on our country uniyer.
