Montgomery Blair Interviewed.

A Washington special of the Goth ult.
to the Missouri Republican says: A long
interview with Hon. Montgomery Blair
is printed here to day on the presidential
campaign. Mr.. Blair roundly den nounces
Grant as an igno-an. man with a strong
will that compels congress to obey him in
all things. "Let the Democratic party
as an organization stand hack and let the
field be kept clear to the disaffected and
independent Republicans. The Missouri
programme suits me there the Radicals
were defeated through this kind of CO.
operation. Let the Radicals call their
convention and nominate Grant, and then
let the Independent Republicans bolt and
nominate whoever they please, and then
let the Democrats rally to his support.
This is the way that Lincoln got in in
1860, and in this way Grant can easily be
defeated"
Reporter: Do you think the Demo
crate IS a party would acquiesce in this
Mr.. Blair: l believe they are fast com
ing up to it. l have reason to know
that it has been under consideration now
for about a year, and it meets with bu,
little opposition. met Senator Casserl,
yesterday, and he tells me he warmly ap
proves this policy. Senator Stockton sends
me word that he approves it. / met Bot
Ould to day and talked it to him, and hi.
eyes glistened at tho prospect that the
South could be relieved from militar,
tyranny. You know Wade Hampton
long ago advocated this as the true pol
10y Of tho South. 1t is universally ac
knowledgod that the opposition to Gran,
agree as to general principles. The iu-
dependent Republicans are in favor o
civil service reform, reduction of taxa
ton revenue, and they are opposed tc
monopolies, to bartoring away our public
domain, to grasping railroad corporations
to voting subsidies to steamships, to Civ.
ing power to the president to declare mar
tial law in the states, to the rapid pro-
gress now being made toward centraliza-
ton, to corruption, to fraud and to nepot
ism, and so are the Democrats. Exoep
. few historic traditions tho Democr
have no other platform they are fighting
for the same principles, hence the greater
need Of such co, operation.
Reporter: Who do you think woult
mako tho most formidable auti-Grau
candidate -?
Mr.. Blair: There are about half .
dozen, among which there could be &c
particular choice. Ny personal prefer
enoe is for William Cullen Bryant.

The Protective Tariff,

One instance Of the working of the
protective tariff, Of which the Radical
party is the special champion, will serve
to show the laboring classes, regardless
of vocation, how a few monopolists,
shielded by partisan legislation rob the
great majority of the people of tho le.
gitimate proceeds Of their toll. In the
Manchester (England) Gazette appears
tho following advertisement
"Wheol0r 4 Wilson's genuine silent
working sewing machines, proved by 20
years experience, and a sale of over
half million, to be the best sewing
machines in the world for family use,
and general manufacturing purposes
Prices from 96 6s. Cash or on easy
terms. Prospectus free. Only depot :
l3l Market street, Manchester"
Under the benign influence Of the
protective tariff in this country, the
machine that will cost an Euglishman
about $50 will cost IN American ss5
tho difference going into the hands Of
the monopolist. A great many good
housewives who are unable to own 8
machine at sS5, would gladly purchase
one at $50, but they arc prevented from
so doing to enrich the monopolist, or ths
favored few.
How long the people of this country
will continue to be swindled and op
pressed in this manner, depends upon
how long they vote to retain in Office tn,
members Of the party that enacts ant
enforces protective tariffs. The Demo
cratic party has always been the advocate
Of free trade, and the enemy of protec
tion. 1t lies with the people themselve
in 1872 to say how much longer th
state of things shall exist. The retur,

MARTIAL LAW MOVABLE. Tho ex-
ample of the administration iu being 80
careless as to put up the wrong county

would seem to think that they carry mar.

cts, or that it is lying around loose all
over the country, to be picked up and

Among the instructive incidents of the
new rebellion" are the raids made from

Of North Carolina by Major Merril's

their homes. A number of such refugees
