The people of New Hampshire are not
likely to swell the vote for the democratic
ticket great deal in consequence of the
efforts of the democrats in Congress to
strike down their interests through tariff
tinkering. We have little fear that those
efforts can prevail, since the revolution
proposed is so great that it aims at all
parts of the country. but it is well enough
to take note OF the democratic purpose

York and New Jersey, great popular
movements have been organized against
the tariff changes. and in New Hampshire
the voters are called upon to say whether
they want to have their leading industries
destroyed by democratic lie gislaton. Hon.
II. w. Blair, member of Congress for the
third district, has written letter TO Hon.
Fernando Wood, chairman OF The House
Ways and Means Committee, sharply crit
icising the effort to change the law re-
garding duties upon potato-slafch. The
present duty upon polato-starch. he says,
is one cent per pound specific, and 20 per
cent ad valorem, being equivalent. at the
ruling figures for that product, to full two
cents per pound, or from 2 ) to IL the
market price. The duty upon potatoes is
ID cents per bushel, or about twice the
cost of production in Canada, Nova SEQ
tia. and Prince Edward Island, where
they can be probably grown for export
at eight cents bushel. The cost of man.
featuring the starch in New Hampshire i |
little less than four cents per pound. |
while il made in Canada, where potato
raising is so cheap, it would be imported |
at rates runous to a large industry in
Northern New Hampshire. Mr.. Blair
gives statistics TO show that if The propos-
ed legislation shall be adopted it will ruin
a great invested capital, besides destroy
ing the business OF a large number of
worthy citizens.-Boston Traveller.

Whatever things Cen GRANT may have
Zone that were not good, he did a very good
and clever thing when he photographed home
10 his old comrades. recently. that he hoped

ty to apologize for the part they took in the
late war.

respectable, cstimablc, learned, and ac-
District Of New York in Congress, might,
to his own OBLIGATION, have made a study Of
this brief but vrilc telegram from Gen.
GIASr. Mr. POTTER has seen tit to write
long and laborcd letter about his movement
for an investigation into the Electoral
Frauds. This letter may be characterized
rs explanatory and bordering closely upon
the apologctlc. 1t seems to US entirely UNI
called for.
If Mr.. POTTER and his colleagues have
any excuse to present for not Offering
resolution Of inquiry sooner, they cannot be
too quick about bringing IL forward. But
what is he. down on his marrow bones for
at the first suggestion of his having taken
the first step toward the performance OF a
public duty, at once the highest and the
most imperative that ever deyolved upon
him?
Is 1t possible that in this weightlest Of
matters, in this grand undertaking Of pre-
serving mistaken our precious free institu-
tions, we have a leader who-not at the
sound OF the first gun, but at the first flash

Woe, woe worth the day, when the Chair
