The Tariff Party.

The leading question in the campaign, and
the one which most interests the working
men, is the Tariff. The leaders of both par
ties claim to be tariff men, but are they
both sincere, in their protessions2 We
think not, and we base our assertion on the
history Of the past, which furnishes evidence
clear, and abundant, that the democratic
party, is not nOay, nor never was in favor Of
protection to our home industry. In 1874,
Jas. K. Polk, and Geo, NJ. Dallas, were cleo
ted by the popular cry, that Polk was bet,
ter tariff man, than Clay. Thousands be-
lieved the delusion, and permitted themselves
to he cheated out Of their votes. How far
Polk, was a better tariff man than Clay, the
administration attest lie repealed the tar
if' of 42 and used the whole influence of his
patronage to inaugurate free trade policy,
Dallas, when the vote stood tie in the Senate,
gaYe the casting vote against the tariff, ard
thus struck death blow at the interests Of
his own State. When be was about 10 cast
lis vote, Senator Cameron hung Up in front Of
the Vice Presidents chair, large poster,
upon which, was blazoned, polk. Dallas and
The Tariff, but with these popular maxims,
by which he had secured his election, staring
hipa full in the face. he voted square against
protection to his country, and in direct oppo,
sition to tie wishes Of the people, and worst
Of all. in direct opposition 10 the pledges he
had made the people previous 10 his election.

that Col. Blair, after a very abu,

present to vote for " Old Bob

Why Coi. Blair should speak t'.us
Of James 7. Lale, we cannot tell,
unless in the gratitude of his
