BoR BE fRosrRATE.D AND THE ELECTIONS
OF THIS COUNTRY BE INFLUENCED Ry !.
FOREIGN GOVERNMENT!
Ihs great question is now before the Amsr,
can people for their decision Can there ba two
parties IN the country upon such question ,
Ian there be diversity of opinion on n quest ION
decided by the united testimony Of the founders
OF our government and the trainers of our consti
tat'on! Can there DO two pa rites in this Ropub
nc on question, the side of which we have
an unoroken volume of testimony, sanctioned md
e''iorccd oy mo uniform action of the government
Tor more than FORTY years! Can any party
s.aild Ter a moment, whose avowed doctrine Is
that oroign Labor and Foreign Capital shall h,
brought into competition with free American T.,
Dor Have we so degenerated, has potr,o,,Sn,
been so utterly withered and consumed bv thu
corroding spirit of party, that men can be- found
among us who would palsy the hand of Amer,.
- INDUSTRY ana JON with foreign government
IN suicidal war against their own prosperity md
independence! The whole question amounts tn
ms Shall we be entirely dependent on foreign
governments for what we wear for what mechan.
1cal labor can produce, while wo are denied n
market there tor tho products of our soil1 The
a q, OF me protective principle involves
inc overthrow OF tho manufacturing interest that
now gives abor to- we may amos. saw millions of
hahds, ana market, In one State alone for mora
than all the rest OF the world takes ofour aorcuI-
tura products. This Is the lnovita Bile resnl, rho
ui"tIefei operation OF such course, unless we are
prepared to introduce tho European Standard Of
wages! 1t the present Tariff is DESTROYED the
shock VIII fall like deso!ating fire on tho coun-
ry, crying up the very springs that now give
forth life and health and swell the tide of Nation
al Prosperity Tho now rapidly developing ro
sources OF tho country. that minister to our com
io wealth. ana true independence must lie b,
RED and useless. The destruction of tho nra,ec,
I've system makes as hewers of wood and draw
ers OF water for Great Britain and other povern
ments' and by gradual and constant drain at,
leriy hlpovcristes the nation. That tho labors Of
trrcat britain should be directed to such n conan
nation should not surprise MS but tb.t , go,
should be found IN mdst,-and of all Ohio
Ptr'ics one protesting to be democ atc,-willinp
10 CO. operate and aid her in such a work, is. we
must repeat, almost incredible. The evidence of
our u, senses however, cannot be- resisted Tn,
British government has engaged in n crusade
galnst the present Tariff. Its money has beon
suosc rbed and IS being expended to ACCOMPLISH
me work. The evidence of this astounding fac,
has been produced. 1t has been published IN tho
country. and stands undened, undenable. Tho
with in creasing violence. if not with increasing
pro spect of success. The land is deluged with
ANTI tariff documents, and the rostrum is occupied
by thousands, who are preaching doctrines that
if true, would convict Washinpton Madison Jaf
ferson, and the fathers of the country with folly
falsehood and treachery. Yes, this unproceden-
ted war is waged in our midst. Ii is British
war and If successful would be British victory,
ohail we, can we doubt the result, when these
things are fairly understood! Not for a moment.
The tone of the press,-the exponent of public
feeling that at last the true Amer
lean feeling is aroused. From every quarter the
voice of on indignant people comes up in tones
that must convince British monopolists and their
despicable allies among US, that on such aues-
ton the people in this country will speak out in
despite of party tramn1els and party dictation
fiear the leading presses Of the country:
Brotn the Baltimore Clipper, q neutral paper,)
An AMERICAN SEHrIMENT.-We rccomtnaAd
that the following sentiment be inscribed upon
the banners ofall parties, evinclng the Amer.
can spirit which should animate all:
PAfSIED BE THE HAND
WHICH RECEIVES
BRITISH GOLD
