The cipher dispatches have forever put at

has entered upon the stage OF decay. It's leaders
never demonstrated their proficiency in trick
and fraud more satisfactorily, not even when
Tammany used TO colonize Connecticut Just
prior TO The April elections. II any man can

The close OF the war found the government In
receipt OF more than i've hundred millions
IN taxes in a single year. The reduction of the
debt began. and at the same time began the cut
ting down OF taxes. In 1851 they had fallen TO
sis2 $40 679, and in 1865 to s516, iSi, ,i5S. Since
then the decrease has been steady and constant,
with only one or two exceptions, until last year
the people paid for the support of the govern
ment and the interest on Its debt only s26s, co.
$50 a reduction in the thirteen years OF far
greater percentage than even the reduction oi
the debt, great as that was. Can any one say
that the bondholder has been protector at inc

An analysis of the vote in Congress by which
Woods tariff bill was defeated shows that the
main bulk of the Democrats in the House voted
for its and that the south constitutes the
dominant element in the party now on this
subject, as in former times. Even those Demo-
Gratis representing strong manufacturing dis
tricts are SO under the party lash that they can
only be got TO vote for protection In case of ex
tremity. On all questions where the yeas and
nays are not recorded, these men ignore protec-
tion and vote with their party. The present
Democratic Speaker, although representing a
strong manufacturing district, has aided In the
making of Fernando Woods outrageous Tariff,
and stands clearly responsible for the committee
which framed II. To the south the tariff Is no
longer what II was in the days when Calhoun s
notification policy was agitated. For The tri-
umph of American manufactures is so great
that even the most raoid confederate does not
dream of the possibility OF legislating this vast
element out OF existence. Tits, however, stfli
q means OF combining with foreign capital TO
dominate the Republic for political and COM
mercial ends. and against that combination the
Republican party is the natural foe.

Soft money does not find much favor in
New England. People are a little too inielIi-
gent there and they work for their money, so
that they are anxious that IL shall be OF The very
best kind when they get IL. In New Hsmp-
shire the DemocI ais did not dare TO go back
upon the Resumption act, and had TO adopt the
Republican platform on the money question.
But there was another good old Democratic prin-
ciple which they could safely shout over, so
they went in with all their might for a tariff for
revenue only, and denounced protection as the
monster that was expressing. That is the
Democratic party all over. 1t is the chameleon
in politics. In This State il is one of the
staunchest friends OF protection, but once

Two Things the Ohio Election. Showed

From the Detroit Free Press tDem-I
The Ohio election showed two things very
plainly. 1t showed first, that no amount OF
heartiness in accepting the Ohio idea or Thur
man platform-as the Democracy OF that State
preferred TO call it-could bring the National
Greenback party into the Democratic fold,
though that party was quite ready to take the
Democracy into its fold. In other words, there
was no way of uniting the greenback senti-
ment save by abandonment of the Democratic
organization and acceptance by the combina-
tion OF the most ultra doctrines OF the 'fat'
money teachers. The election showed, secondly,
that the strength of the shat'' money supper ters
was vastly overrated. The argument used to
bring the Democracy 10 them-and failing that
TO secure united support of the same candidates
was that The ''natn idea was in overwhem-
Ing majority and consf antly on the Increase. For
weeks before the election the number Of the
"trredeemables' was d xed by their own organs
and by Democratic newspapers far up In the
