TIE Issues. We don't care copper
whether Gen. Pierce tainted in Mexico
from fear of battle-or whether he SAID
TO a meeting Of l'reesoilprs that he loah.
ed the Fugitive Slave Law. That both
propositions are true, we believe has
been firmly established, since his friends
tried to make military hero, and
Northern man with Southern principles,
out Of him--but, far the present, let
them pass. One thing we do care for,
and on account Of which we protest
against his getting the votes of the peo-
pie OF this county, or any other county,
is that he is Free Trade man, and has
in his interest all the leading British
papers, and free traders of this country.
The carrying out of that doctrine is ruin
ing parts of the country and inuring all
of it. Fo: proof see the following from
the Clarion (Penna.) Democratic Reg
lister OF the lth ifst:
"CLARION COUNTY SOLD OUT.'
The above is the title of paragraph which
is going the rounds of the press. 1t is almost
true. A great portion of our county has recent
ly been disposed ofhy the Sheriff. The follow
ing properties, among others, were sold, with
the prices annexed:
Hrmlnck Furnace. 5000
Licking Furnace. with usual appurtcnan-
ance< and two farms, 1905
Washington Furnace and property al
Tackled, COS
Clinton Furnace, 80
Thssc arc but a few; and behold the awful
sacrifice. Compare the immense cost of these
establishments with The prices Tor which they
were sold.
Washington Furnace, which was sold for the
pnliry sum Of SG05, cost $4,000.
Clinton Furnace, which brought the neat
sum of $50. actually cost $40. 900.
This is one Of the results the Tariff of 1876.
Let iocoloco presses continue their argn-
ments in favor of this suicidal policy. and our
fair country will soon present wide spread
picture Of desolation and ruin.
Comment is unnecessary.
Now, there is the working of the
policy Of which Gen. Pierce is The ex-
ponent and representative-the policy
which builds up manufactures in En-
gland and breaks them down in America.
Working men, who are directly in
1er.Sted - Ja rmurs who find . hop,a man
ket in our manufactures look at these
things, and say, can you vote for the
man who advocates and represents the
measures which work all this ruin
But says some locotoco, the Iron bust
ness is brisiins up again. Aye! it is
brsklng up, and why Because SO many
OF our American Furnaces, FORCES and
mills have been broken down, that tine
American supply is greatly diminished,
and the British, having monopolized SO
much of the business, are doing what
the wings always said they would do
raising the price on the American con-
sumner. SO soon as such of our people in
the business, as are not utterly broken
up, begin to make all impression on the
stock ia market, down will 60 the price
again, and so on till every remaining
mill is stopped--then the British will
sway the market and have what price
they chose to ask.
Let these things be considered by
every voter.
Another cardinal reason for opposing
Gen. Pierce, is his uniform opposition
while in Congress, to all appropriations
for the improvement of Rivers and Har.
bors. Our western rivers filled with
snags and shoals, causing all manner OF
difficulties 20 tie navigation and the an
