in tinins of great depression in business for the
Government TO stop all outlays for necessary ana
indispensable public works. Not that the Govern.
ment should create anecessity fcrexpenditures. but
when that necessity exists, why rot give to unem-
ployed labor the benefits resulting tberefrom in the
times Of its greatest need, especially as the Si0vern,
ment would have the advantage, in such times, OF
cheapuess in doing its work.
This kind of craftsmanship was most consplcu-
Ously illustrated by the Democratic party IN the
last Congress, and upon such record it appeals TO
the people for renewed lease OF power.
ADJUSTMENT OF THE TARIFF.
But the most essential aid to our languisbing in
dustries within the legitimate and proper exercise
of the powers of the Government is in the adjust
ment of the tariff. Instead of q change as adyo-
Gated by the Democratic majority in the last Con-
gress and urged by IT'S leading organs 70 s
eign merchandise if any change is TO be made, II
should be such as TO lessen instead Of increasing
the Importation of such articles as can be supplied
With the land filed with unemployed labor, who
would suggest the importation OF more labOreFs as
remedy for business isf Yet TO bring the products
of their labor to supply market has the same eff
feet upon unemployed labor as would the impOrta-
on of the labOrers themselves. The highest states
manship known to government Is that which So
to labor. by wise legislation, so far as within
its power steady and constant employment &C tair
and remunerative wages, so that the laborer can
make his home comfortable and his fireside happy,
and rear his children to be honOred and respected
members of society Of sad sights in this world
pilgrimage the saddest is that of honest man beg
daily bread by his daily toll
The Government IN adjusting the tariff, can aid and
foster our industries, 1t cripple and destroy
them. While collecting the revenue necessary for
the support of the Government, justice to the tax
payer requires that the highest scale of duties
should be imposed upon those articles known as lux
ures and the lowest upon the necessary and indis-
pensabe articles of life and in doing this justice
to the labor of the country requires dlscfInlna-
ton in favor Ofthe products OfOur own country cspe-
ciay of those in which we possess natural adyanta-
ges until developed so as to supply own market
1t is in this way only That we can guard our
industry against the unequal competition of capital
and experience fostered by foreign nations for ages
by counteryailing duties and legislative restrc-
tiOns
IMPORTS AND EXPORTS.
But il is said that unless we buy of other nations
they cannot buy of us. This is delusion OF long
standing. that only tho facts and figures of trade
Will disslpate. The times of our largest lmpOr-
tations are not the times of largest exports ex-
cept of specie and bullion, as is shown by the fol-
lowing table Of imports and exports for the last
thirty years:

TARIFF AND LABOR QUESTIONS.
THE TmBUNE's dispatches announce the
opening Of the campaign for the Republicans
In Pennsylvania by Mr.. Galusha A. Crow at
Oil City. Mr.. Grow spoke ON the vital ques-
tiOns which are agitating all parties at the
present time. He analysed the character
of the legal-tender and National Bank
currency, and spoke of paper, coin, ana
the bonds, advocating rigid adherence
to the Nations pledges. Mr.. Grow traced the
hard times to the suspension of railroad build
ing. and presented many interesting facts to
show how railroad building affects country.
He defended the protective tariff, and SAID
that lessening of importation would benefit
the country. He also enforced the imperative
public necessity of a Republican majority IN
the next Congress.

The entire circulation in 1870 was. in round
numbers 1862, 900 900; in 1873, S746.OOO,OOO,
and in 1874 II was sos, 600 600. How then, is IL
possible that the crash of 1873 could have been
produced by lack of sufficient circulating medium,
when there was S64, 900 900 more in 1878 than Ia
1870 and 81 z, 900, 900 more in 1874 than III 1873
and IN either year more than twice as much as In
1862.
If neither the fixing Of definite time to resume
nor lack of circulating medium caused tue crash
and consequent stagnatlon in business, then TO what
was that result really duel
1t came by reason Of the suspension in tho build
ing Of railroads, and because production IN every
branch of industry, except agriculture had reached

of undeT-cOnsumptiOn. But even II that were So

to buy, and the ability or capacity To consume arc
two distinct things The ability TO buy depends
upon the general prOsperity-upOn an active, con-
slant demand and ready pay for labor IN all branches
of business-and is limited and controlled by flat
But the ability capacity TO consume has It's limits
beyond winch il - impossible TO CO. no matter what
may be the ability to buy. An individual cannot
consume, even in wasteful extravaganza, beyond a
certain limit. In 1878, as people, we had reached
that point. For the ability 10 buy at that tune was
as great as at any former period, yet there was n
larger uDsold surplus OF all commodities than ever
before.
RAILROAD BUILDING.
The ability to buy after 1873 was, it is true,
greatly lessened. And why During the three
years preceding 1873, 1030S miles of railroad were
built IN the United States, and for the three years
succeeding 6,72O miles being difference of Il, 07S
miles for these three years. The greatest number
OF miles built in any one year from the commence
ment of railroad building was 1865 miles in 1871
which was reduced TO 1,75S miles in 1875. What
was the effect of this great reduction upon labor

The Avalanche answers our questions

replying that we believe the judges, as
far as we know them, are gentlemen
who will do their duty faithfully. No
i~nsinuation against them has been made,
although the Avalanche seems DESTROYS
to have such an issue raised. But the
moral effect Of nineteen Flippin judges
to one johnson man must amount to
something. In the case Of challenged
votes it would be contrary to human ma
ture for the judges not to lean to their

influence without committing perjury"
