LOCO
DECEPTION.

Our Wing friends are not aware perhaps,
of the unwearied pains taken by the Loco
Focos to create the impression that the
coming election is not of much importance
so far as the question of the Tariff is con-
cerned. That the Presidential election is
the time, when the merits Of the question
are to be put to the test. We wish to I'M
deceive those who may listen to such sy-
rem song to lull them to sleep. The truth
is, that while the Loco leaders wish to
keep this question out Of sight, 1t is the
question that must be settled after all
Is Vermont for Tariff that shall protect
her wooden interest, or is she notl Let the
Locos carry the state, and Immediately from
Maine to Georgia, the shout goes up from
the Loco Journals, Vermont has repudla-
ted the Tariff. 1t will do more to strength
en- the Free Trade party, than though
South Carolina should forever go Free
Trade And the reason is obvious enough
The country expects that South Carolina
will always obey ]. c. Calhoun, and seek
to destroy the Tariff. While on the other
hand, it is expected that Vermont will sus-
tain that policy that sustains her interests;
or in other words, that she will sustain the
Tariff The question then arises, what
course will go to sustain the Tariff Ger
tainly not to vote for those who go for its
destruction. But, says an objector, do
you mean by this, to say that the Locofo-
COS are opposed to tariff

The Elections
Doing well.

The returns Of the August elections ara
now coming in, and answer the highest IN.
ticipations of success so far. The resul, Of
the congressional election in the State Of
North Carolina so foully gerrymandered last
year is no criterion, and even here it stands
five to FIVE on each side. But the wing gain
on the popular vote of last year, is 1900
and gives five or six thousand majority for
the State, for the contest of 1914, which
will be then doubled.
