The Fruits Of Protection.

1t ought TO be sufficient 70 convince any
man in his senses Of the ines.imabls value
Of our protective tariff to see the snor-
NOUS progrsss Of all our productive inter-
ssss during the twenty years in which the
system has been in operation. The free
trade emmissAfies always seek to avoid
this argument BY attribusing our prosper
ity to other causes, but they forgot the
protective system was in operation in En-
gland three hundred years, and it was
mainly to the success of that protective
system that British industries owed the
enorm Gus strength that finally enabled
them to endure the order Of free trade
The same system is now building up the
vast internal resources % Russia, and ren.
derins the French Republic impregnably
strong BY reliance upon her own internal
development. What protection has thus
done for the industries OF Europe il Is now
doing for those Of our own country. The
question therefore, is whether we shall

can production Of all kinds or tariff ~

lures against the competition OF American
capital, labor, skill and enterprise.

Custer's Courage.

Men can counterfeit sorrow, sympathy,
anger, friendship, enthusiasm and fear, but
when it comes to counterfeiting bravery
that's another thing. Let . regiment be
drawn up in line of battle, and while one
would look in vain for skulkers he would
see plenty of quivering chins and white ia
Gee. and that too among eficers. Under
the influence of fear more than one colonel
has abandoned his regiment, and more
than one brigadier general has lost his
reputation. Fear OF death is not cowar-
dice. Men grew pale and trembled at the
roar of battle, and yet the knowledge of
certain death would not have made them
take backward step.
Perhaps one man in a thousand is born
without fear-absolutely careless of every
thing which makes other men afraid
Custar WAS such . man. In being brave
and reckless he was only natural. OF the
cavalry officers, Fitzpatrick, as some think,
would have died sooner than have exhibit
fear, but it was moral courage that held
him to the line. So with Torbet and ma
ny others while they, had to "brace up"
under fire. Custer was the same in fight
as on dress psrade-cool, good natured,
confident and close observing. The ping
of q bullet had no more significance to him
than the hum of q bee, and he relied on
his own efforts TO get him out of tight
FIX.
Soon after Clusters brigade went into
the Shenandoah valley a raw boned re-
cruit came down to one of the companies
and next day his regiment had a fight.
The recruit stood his ground first rate FOX
an hour and then inquired of a comarade
"Ssy:hsv We lieke 'em YETI"
mo, not ye,," was the reply. "And
they havnt licked US, eitherw
"No?"
"You remember ] only got here yester-
day. and I don't know much about this bu-
siness," continued the recruit. How shall
/ know when We are licked?"
| watch Clusters face" WAS the reply;
"when you zee him turn pale you want to
quit lighting and go to running"
Gen. Custer would sic on his horse and
| write orders and overlook movements with
bullets flying all about him, and it is not
on record that any one ever saw him
dodge. When . horss was killed under
him he WAS greatly surprised, seeming to
have forgotten the fact that missiles of
death were flying about. His seeming
reck lessness and sbandon In the face of the
enemy made him the successful leader that
he Was. His narrow escapes made his men
argue that he who rode straight at the en-
emy ran no more risks than the one held
in reserve. and before Custer left the Mich
igan brigade to become division comman-
der he had 1000 men who would follow
him upon q belching battery as soon as
against demoralized infantry.

THE ELECTIONS.

In speaking Of the late elections the
Chicago Express, one of the leading
papers Of the country says:
Garfield is chosen. The party
which was organized as o protest
against barbarism and slavery. and
has grown to be the instrument of ex-
tortion, monopoly and oppression, en-
ters upon its sixth term. But the
verdict has not been in favor Of the
Republican party because the sober
judgment Of the country is in favor of
that party. Garfield is elected, not
because of the confidence of the peo-
pie in the Republican party, but be-
cause of their distrust Of the Democ-
racy.
For twenty years the Democratic
party has been a rock in running wa
ter. 1t has no clearly defined idea nor
positive principle since it appeared al
the front as the chosen champion Of
human slavery. Beaten and humilia-
ted in this alliance with the forces Of
barbarism, it became q mere obstruc-
ton and negotiation. This party, un-
fortunately was the only organized
opposition to the Republican party
For this reason, and no other, i
lived. Republican aggression and
outrage kept it alive. 1t went thro
the motions Of opposition, but its ne
cation was 4 form only. there wa
neither life nor earnestness in it,
Whatit opposed one year it endorsed
the next. 1t only raised its flag in or
der to haul it down and surrender. I
followed closely in the track Of tn
Republicans, and they are never fair
ly out Of one camp before the Demo
crots would rush in to occupy it. Fl
nally, by forced march, as Genera
Weaver putsit, the Democrats caugh,
up. and this year there was hardl.
pretence of IN issue between the tw
parties. Now the Democratic part
is defeated, and there 10 no longer a
excuse for tits existence.
1t has no substantial strengt
in the north, and its Solid South sur
port forbids that it cannot ever max
any growth in the north. The mort
will never consent to be ruled by Ii
south. The north is stronger in poi
ulation, in property, in schools,
churches, in printing presses. in raj
roads and telegraphs, and it will new
consent to put itself under the dom
nation Of the south. Either justly
unjustly the Democratic party is CO
victied Of an alliance with the soutl
ern side in the war. In the northel
mind, to put the Democratic par
into power, is to reverse the verdi
Of the war. That verdict cannot
changed.
Distrusted by the north, and desc
ted by the south, the Democratic ps
ty has come to the point of financi
dissolution. 1t will cease to be an g
struction. It will die and make roc
for better things. Winfield Scott "

and Winfield Scott Hancock will

AS for the Republicans they mi

policy--s party which is new, radi'
and earnest, which is more an1ic
that 1t shall be right than successf

For the country the prospects is f
Of light and hope. Out Of th'
wrecks and changes will be evolved
better and purer political system.

Sr. LOUIS. July IL. The scheme to settle
on government lands in Indian Territory Is
gaining strength daily. +. ID. Craddock, one
of a company who came here few days ago
to work up the scheme, has received kilograms
from several places in Illinois stating that a
number Of persons will be here Monday ready
to go to the Territory. Advices from West
ern Kansas state that hundreds Of families,
suffering from drought. are on their way to
oklohoma. ii. l.. Hill. an old scout with
Payne last spring. says that the party which
left Wichita, Kansas, last Sunday, arrived
safely and found corn and vegetables planted
for them anu doing finely. Jack Bietle,
scout from Texas, was found there and stated
thousand men from Texas could be in the
Territory in ten days. Hill wrote from Ar
kansas City, at which point he telegra..hed to
parties along the Atchison. Topeka 4 Santa
Fe and Kansas { Pacific railroads to push on
at once. Ii looks as though the invasion of
the Territory would be formidable and that if
the military are instructed to eject intrudcrs
there will be conflict.
