How Protection AFFECTS FALL
RIvER-The following affective
letter appears in the Providence
r. I. Journal:
Il was much pleased with the
atticle in your paper of yesterdays
dato signed "One Who Has Built
Machinery" drawing attention to
the manner in which our present
tariff discriminates against labor
in the budding of machinery.
1t is we'll known That during the
last elk years machinery to the
value of several million of dollars
has been imported from England
for manufacturers in this city, Fall
River and elsewhere, which ma
chinery might have been built by
American machinists.
A few days since the writer was
assured by gentleman of Fall
River that it was in contemplation
to build there four mills, the ma
chinery for which would be import
ed
Now, it requires no argument
to convince any candid person
that a tariff which taxes the RAW
MATERIAL double what it does the
article manufactured from it, is
wrong; and it seems very singular
that all the machinists in the conn
try have not long before this unit
ed in protesting against the Unjust
ice thus d lone to h IN, and
which, if continued, threatens to
close all their shops. The remedy
is plain; either increase the duty
on machinery TO one hundred per
cent. ad valorem, OF what would be.
much better reduce the duty on pig,
bar and other iron and steel.
Articles like those, Of universal
and indispensable use, should be
subject to only a moderate duty;
twenty five per cent. ad valorem
in addition to the cost Of freight,
insurance, importers profit etc,
ought certainly to be PROTECTION
enough on the American ironmas-
tiers. Unless the duty is largely
reduced on iron and steel, it is
idle TO hope that our American
mechanics can compete with those
of England in building machinery.
vessels, etc, requiring q large a
mount Of these articles. Yours,
respectfully, FAIR Play.

theory never dreamed Of till the
anti Tariff CROCHET got into your
head ?
In the campaign of 1874 we are
informed that Clay was signally
defeated. and with him high pro-
tcctiye Tariff. Signally? How
signally2 Political history tells
us that Polk received 40 electoral
votes and Clay lO5--that but for
Burney's running, Clay would Ger
tainly have got N. Y. 81 votes
thus securing the election that
Louisiana was carried against Clay
by admitted fraud--one county in
that State giving Polk q muck larg-
er majority than there were voters
in the county--that Polk was a
minority President in the popular
vote; and N. Is. E.H- that the
Democrats in their speeches and
on their banners heralded Polk,
Dallas and the Tariff of 1912! thus
out Heroding Herod in their advo-
cacy Of good wholesome 'protec.

ran Taylor, new man--fresh from
the field Of his glory-the Mexican
war, popular, acceptable to the
hurrah element.
Cass was VIGOROUSLY unpopular.
Taylor said he would be the can
didate of no patty nor the expo

the Polk on the democratic party
taking up new man and popu-

tend with all the old political ami
mosities of quarter of century,
and Gen. Jackson besides, between
whom and Scott anything but love

But enough of this. If Mr.. Vo-
10 favors no discrin ination in be-
half of the laboring classes in his
own country, in adjusting Tariff,
that is his right. I demur. II he

THE CONTEST. The Connersville
Times says: ''If the regular official
count of the vote provided for Ivy
law, is to be set aside upon the
mere dictum of par,isans, interest
ed and perhaps intending mischief

to Why not let the interested
partisans settle it without The

what becomes Of the purity OF the
ballot Ubder such circumstan
ccs the ballot is utterly prostituted
and an election most ride ulous
farce.
Yet this is exactly what the
democratic press of this District is
contending for. They wish the
regular official vote of the District
set aside. and the mere opinion of
interested unofficial persons taken
instead, when there is abundant
reason to believe, that in every in
stance, the ballot box had been vi
olated, after the official count.
They charge dishonor upon
Judge Wilson, because be does not,
upon their mere ipse dixi'. surreE-
der his certificate of election 1t
is because Judge Wilson is an hon
orable man that he refuses to SUI
render the certificate. Such a sur
render would be dishonorable
The best evidence in the case
the regular official count of the
District, and the only one provi
ded for by law shows that he re
ceived majority of the votes, and
is therefore entitled to the certifi-
cate and the seat in Congress. He
would not be true 10 the majority,
that voted for him if he s. ould,
