AN IMPORTANT RESOLUTION.

The democracy of Kane county are de-
serving of commentator for their resolution
to assert their constitutional right to use the
unrestricted ballot in voting for representa-
iives in the legislature this fall. Kane
county by the Governor apportionment, is
entitled to choose three representatives.
Every elector in that county will therefore
have the right to cast three votes for repre-
seniatives, just as every elector in the south
Chicago district will have the right to cast
six votes, there being ark representatives to
be chosen The radical party in Kane county
have nominated three candidates, and every
radical elector will give one of his votes to
one candidate, one to another, and his re
naming vote to third candidate. But the
democrats in Kane county have nominated
bu: one candidate Mr.. Hsrrington), with
the intention that every democratic elector
shall give all three of his votes to this one
candidate. This will be done by placing
MT herrington's name on every ballot three
times. He will thus receive three times as
many votes as any one candidate would re.
ceive if every ballot contained three differ.
ent names, and thus, receiving more votes
than the lowest Of the three radical o.nd;
dates, he must, By the positive declaration
OF the constitution, be declared elected

question which the democracy of Kane
county propose to contest. What right

OF every radical elector ? Where i. the In,

HIGH tariff men argue that we mus. foster
WOODEN manufactures in order that Ameri-
can labor may compete with the "psuper
labor of Europe. This is an erroneous as
sumption. The weeks wages of female
IN New England WOODEN mill is $3.50, and
with that amount she can buy l24 yards OF
elapaca at 60 cents yard. The wages of
the same class Of operatives in Bradford,
England, is So .38 per week, and there that
sGm will purchase l84 yards of the same
fabric, which is there worth only Is cents
yard. So it will be seen, that weeks
" pauper labor" will secure nearly fifty per
ceut. more alapaca than the same labor
here, where the tariff is about go Der cent.
