GILLIs AND FREE TRADE.

Now that our country is in financially
PROSTATE condition, it may be well TO show
the cause of it. The history of the country
proves that an approach to Free Trade has
always reduced the country to bankruptcy
All intelligent persons are acquainted with
this fact. How do the parties stand towards
this question at present The ellis Conven-
tion in Brookvile, on the Goth of Aug. en-
dorsed the Cincinnati platform, which speaks
as follows
ResoIred, The time has come for the people
of the United States to declare themselves in
favor of free seas, and progressive free trade
throughout He lcorld, and by solemn manifes-
tatiOn to place their moral influence at the
side OF their successful example"
The Peoples Convention which met in Har-
risburg, and nominated Hon. John N. Read for
Supreme Judge, and Mr.. Frazer, for Canal
Commissioner, passed the following resolution
on this subject:
"Resolred, That the revenue necessary for
judicious and economical Administration of
the Government should be raised by mposi-
ton of duties upon foreign imports, and in
laying them, such discriminating protection
should be given as will secure the rights OF
free labor and American Industry" -
The Peoples Convention that nominated
Chaplin Hall, in Brookville, on the 25th Aug.
passed the following resolution:
ssResolved, That the true interests of the
Union, and especially Pennsylvania, require
tariff for revenue, imposing such duties as
will afford just and ample protection to home
labor and relieve US from the financial embar-
assments brought on by the ruinous policy OF
the present Administration"
1t will be observed by the foregoing that
Judge Gills stands pledged for s.progressire
Free Irads,'' and, as consequence, direct
faration. Suppose the country is forced into
Free Trade, how will the expenses of the
Government be raised By direct taxation.
| This is in accordance with the Gillis platform.
Mr.. Hall stands pledged in favor of judi
cious protective tariff-onc that viii protec;
the free labor of his country from competition
with pauper labor in Europe. Which do you
prefer? The country was brought to bank
ruptcy in 1871, by the approximating free
trade rates of the act of 1888. The protectire
tariff of 1872 brought prosperity to the coun-
try. The rerenue tariff of 1876 has brought
upon us our present general distress in money
matters.-JefersOH Star.

-Ciearfeid Republican
Astonishing magnanimity After having
done everything to prevent her admission as
free State-after having attempted to bride her
into the acceptance of the Lecompton Consti-
tuition by an appropriation of lands-to force
it upon her by preventing her admission with
out it until she obtains a population of over
90, ,000-after having exhausted every means

COL. FORNEY's ADDRESS.

Col. Forney publishes in the Press of the
30th Sept, an address in vindcation of the
principles of popular sovereignty and in reply
to the assaults of the Lecompton organs. II
is very lengthy, occupying eight columns of
his paper. He shows how strong Mr.. Buchan-
an was committed TO Popular Sovereignty, as
well as himself and the leaders of the party
generally how he had given his hearty and
disinterested support to the Administration.
until Mr.. Buchanan turned his back upon those
covenants and obligations; and that he had
submitted the opening address of the Press,
when about commencing that paper, to the Ad-
ministration itself. allowing then to make its
expressions of devotion to the President even
stronger than he had originally written them !;
that, in order to stand disinterested and inde-
pendent, not dollar of the money with which
the Press was established, came from the Ad-
ministration, and that, ssas the drama in Kan
sas began to unfold itself, the Democratic pa
prrs regarded him as speaking from the chair
Col. Forney then goes On to give his reasons
for making his Tarrytown speech, as follows:--
will now come down to the Causes which
led me 10 deliver the speech which has elicit
ed such unlicensed abuse from the paid organs
of the Administration, to which organs l will
in proper place, pay my respects. After
Mr.. BUCHANAN had determined to make his
Kansas policy test with the democratic par
ty after Judge DouGLAs had spoken his first
celebrated speech in the Senate, and when
the fact had become notorious that the NOV
ing cause of the surrender of the principle to
which we stood committed in 1856 was the
threat of secession couing from certain poll
tcians in three or four Southern States, (not
| the people of these States, but the politicians
and managers,) the most unexampled pro-
| scription was resorted to for the purpose Of
lntimidating those who agreed with Judge
DOUGLAS, and Governor WISE, and Governor
WALKER, and to compel them TO take sides
| with the Administration in its unexpected
metamorphosis.
