ALLEN DEFEATED!

At the time of our going to press,
"Wednesday afternoon the indica-
tions are that Hayes is elected Gov
ernor by from 5000 to 10000, al
though the returns from the differ
cit parts of the State are very mea-
gre. The Democratic papers are
conceding it by the former figures.
1t is evidently a triumph of Capt.
tai over Lobor, and If we are not
very much mistaken in the signs of
the times, many poor men who have
permitted themselves to be inluenc.
ed and led to vote directly against
their own interest and prosperity,
will discover their error when toe
late. They have Endorsed an infa.
nous and corrupt administration
and put into power and position 8
man who took unjustly from then
$55O0,00 of their hard earnings. But
a majority seem to have done this
and we bow submissively to theil
decree. Let them howl! We arr
not without hope that a "sober Sc
+cond thought of the people will yet
right all these wrongs.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1875-10-14

That amiable but very dangerous
defect in the Presidents character
which blinds him to the most noto-
rious and ~disgraceful faults in his
associates never was more signally
exhibited than when he expressed
his belief that Mr.. Delano would
carry with him into private life the
confidence and respect of the people
We have often been in doubt whether
the President really believed Mr.
Delano to be an honest and ~effectual
public servant or only supported him
because he resented the clamors of
the press for his removal. Probably
however that explanation of his con-
duct is the true one which saves Gen
Grants integrity at the expense of
his understanding. If he consults
the organs Of popular opinion on the
subject of the Secretary's resignation
he will perhaps come to the conclu.
sion that the whole nation has grown
as licentious and unbridled as the
independent press.

BEAUTIES OF PROTECTION.

English edge tool makers are
fully aware of the success" says the
Wolverhampton correspondent of the
London Times, with which certain
of their business rivals in America
have supplanted them in many ofour
home and foreign markets." and he
adds, american forks, shovels and
axes are to be had wherever edge
tools are offered in this country
This appears quite a certain indica
ton that III protective tariff has
served its avowed purpose so far as
this industry is concerned, and there
would appear no further reason why
the government should maintain high
prices for the purpose of fostering.the
manufactures of edge-tools. Without
doubt, however, # this suggestion is
made in congress this winter, there
will be a hundred earnest orators on
their feet, ready to show that Ameri-
can manufactures can easily sell
their goods cheaper in England than
America, and that English makers
cannot sell at home at prices they
would find profitable in this country,
without being ruined. The mysteries
of manufacturing are wholly beyond
the comprehension of common PEG,
pie, and it is useless to puzzle our
selves with these singular. contradic'
tions. There is something in the
sea air perhaps that has a wonder
Gus effect on the cost of production
so that a shovel that cost 50 before
it began the voyage across the ocea1
has cost the manufacturer only s.
when it gets on the other side. Lik'
the blessings of the public debt tn
advantages of protection must b
taken on faith altogether and no
; subjected to vulgar criticism.
