,ondent of the st. Louis GIOoe'I/e"'
,cyuf has this to say with regard to
.hc visit of ex. Governor Dennlson OF
Ohio to the President for the purpose
IF arrcsting him in his pet policy
tho "Southern pacifcation."
FIX GOVERNOR DENS1soN
is the latest missionary from the Kep"o-
lican party to the White House III mop"
Of arrcstng the back-sliding tendency OF
the almlc of greatness. DrnnlsOn was
trlrrrap|,cl for few days ago. to come
here as an old friend of the Presldrh''
and to reason with him about the pro-
prictv of changing his policy, at least )"
FAR as not to make it sin to have sup
ported tho Republican ticket last 1'',.
He sends word that lie is on tho WY ~, a.
is probable that he will talk WIN 'l'e
President tomorrow Dennlson is known
to have expressed the opinion that ''le
Southern policy and the Civil Service or
der, if persisted in wonld ruin the Kcp"n'-
lean party throughout the country ; n1rt
make the election ola Democrat III 1o0'
inevitable.
We trust our people clearly under
stand what the talk of Gov. Denn''
son means, and, should the talk 10
productive of good, what We may all
expect.
1t is another argument, this oppo-
sition to the pacifcation of the Sec
tons, that the Republican party as a
party of peace, good will and honesty
correspondent, who is the editor of
one of tie leading Republican jour-
nails of tho West, tells us plainly that
unless the Republicans resurrcct the
bloody shirt; unless they 60 back like
shouls to feed upon tho memories of
war unless they array the North
against the South "the election of a
Democrat in 1880 is inevitable" In
other words, the Democratic party is
a National party, party ofpeace and
reconciliation and the only way to
defeat it is by re-opening war issues
and giving tho country another era OF
Grantism with all its horrors.
This is what is clearly intimatcd in
this dispatch whether it succeeds OF
not, is with tho Democratic party
Hayes is not the person to conciliate;
the people of the Union must see that
the Democracy is worthy of their sup
port; backed by Them it can snap its
fingers at Mr.. Hayes, the fraud, and
the whole array of plunderers that are
backing him, and who hope for po-
litical prcferment upon the. ruins OF
their common country.
The Irish World IN. W pretcnd'
to be a Workingman's advocate and
the righteousness with which it call!
for high tariff, steamship and railroad
subsidies, &c., leads rs to believe il
is a :false friend to the horny handed
laborer. The demagogues cry, of
high tariff to protect us from thu
pauper labor of Europe" and the dc
maDd of "a subsidy to all lines o
ocean transports flying American col
ors' are iliotic clamors that should g
hand in hand; for protection wall
out foreign trade and 'ocean trans
ports" woull lose money unless pait
by the poor producer.
No man in America except foo
would attempt to Justify high tariff OF
any grounds save that of personal in
terest. Protection has gone to tn
utmost bounds, ana lis result IS 1ui'.
portrayed in the commercial and az
ricultural ruin of America. When tn
idiots all learn that trade is an inter
change Of commodities, this humbu
; high tariff scheme will end; and it j
certainly a stupid thing to subsi0iz
,, lines of vessels intended to trade il
o foreign ports when yon debar the pro
ducts of those ports from ours, ex
cept they pay heavy royalty, whic
they do not have to do to other coun
tries.
