GARFIELD AND THE tariff.

The Gazette Of yesterday insists that
the Protectionists of Pennsylvania must
vote for Garfield "without regard to
parry" (which is a good joke in order
to save the Protective tariff, We don't
see the connection between Garfield and
Protection. He voted in Congress to
impose tariff duties on tea and coffee,
and cut down the duties on iron, steel,
coal, glass, wooden and cotton fabrics, If
that makes Garfield a Protectionist, then
Gen, Moorehead and Wm. D. Kelly are
free traders, for they voted the other
way.
But we are saved the necessity of
celebrating this point by the annexed
letter from a Pittsburgh mechanic EN-.
ployed in the American Iron Works Of
Jones & Laughlin on the South Side. He
knows a great deal more about Garfield
and the Tariff han the Gazette knows,
or at least is willing to tell:
PIFTsBURGH, June 28, 1880.
To the Editors of the Pittsburgh Post!
1 read in a recent issue of the Pitts.
burgh Gazette a letter from the Repub-
lican candidate for President, James A.
Garfield. written Dec. Is, 1879, tot mem.
Der of the Ohio Senate, in which be
save: II have voted for every Republi.
can Tariff Bill which has passed the
House since l have been a member oft"
Now, as Mr.. Garfield was not a mem.
Der of Congress when the Tariff was
originally introduced, about 1850, he had
no opportunity to vote for any Tariff bill
until 1870 and 1872. Now what we're the
Tariff bills of 1870 and 1872?
The Tariff bill Of 1870 reduced the tar.
if on Pig iron from nine to seven dollars
per ton, and made anthracite coal free,
The Tariff act of June 6, 1872, made
the following reductions in the tariff
II reduced the duty on Pig Iron 70
cents per ton.
1t reduced the duty on Bar Iron 1885
per ton; on railroad iron $l,34 per ton.
On Sheet Iron from Nos. 20 to %, So.
81 per ton; on steel valued at II cts. per
pound, reduced So 80 per ton. ChalCoa'
was made free Of duty.
On Window Glass up to 10 by "a in.
Ches, the duty was reduced 20 cents per
hundred pounds.
These were the only Republican Tariff
bills before Congress during Mr., Gar
fields term Of service; and as he claims
he voted for every Republican tariff bill
during his time, | make the point that
he himself admits he voted for a reduc.
ton Of the tariff.
The workingmen of Pittsburgh and
vicinity can take all the consolation they
wish from the Commercial Gazette, wher
they claim that Mr.. Garfield is a protec
ZIONIST; but the above is the record, ant
Mr.. Garfield admits he voted for thesI
bills, which were the only Republican
tariff bills he has had any opportunity u
vote for, and this was a reduction Of III
tariff. A. B. @.
Our correspondent in addition nigh
have enforced the point that Garfield

In his gainesville speech on Saturday,
Garfield put the question to his hearers
Suppose your country, in the awfully
embodied form Of majestic law, should
stand above you and say, I want your
life, come up here on the platform and
offer it, how many would walk up be-
fore that majestic presence and say,
Here l am; take this life and use it fol
your great needsy" Garfield himself
proved unequal to the much less severe
test. His country required him to De
an honest man while he was in a service
in which there was no danger, and he
sold out for 1929.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1880-07-08
The Committee of Congress in 1873,

The Committee of Congress in 1873,
said in their report:
He Garfield agreed with Mr.. Ames
TO take ten shares of Credit Mobilier
stock, but did not pay for the same. Mr..
Ames received the so per cent dividend
in bonds, and sold them for 81 per cent,
and also received the go per cent cash
dividend, which, together with the price
of the stock and interest, left a balance
of 1929. This sun was paid over to Mr.,
Garfield by a check on the ~Sergeant'at'
Arms.
How vain it is for Mr.. Garfield and
organs to attempt to explain away any
ofthat damning record What pitiful trif,
ling it is in the face of that deliberate
opinion, to say Mr.. Garfield didn't know
anything about stocks, and thought it
was a loan, and Cakes Ames had a bad
memory, and forgot about it, and 80 on!
The committee was Republican, and
gave the affair a thorough and searching
investigation, and there stands its report
While it remains, any excuses or apollo
gies from Mr.. Garfield are u.eless.

maintained that this sum could be
readily paid, and might have added,
if he had thought of it, that it is far less
than the sum paid till lately in most
European countries for exemption
from CONSUMPTION. He suggested also
that it should be deducted by the
master from the lads wages, That
would not, we think, work, employers
and employed being too suspicious of
me another; but the notion of MAX
ing a boy provide for his old age
while still under control, and sure to
waste any surplus money, deserves
consideration. If universal military
training ever became the practice in
England, the plan could be carried
out with ease and even as it is, it is
not impossible. The substantial i'm
pediment in tho way is, hat as the
Poor-Law system exists, the lad and
his parents have no fear of the star
walton against which only the scheme
would guarantee them.

The Daily News has the following
IN regard to the movements of Colo
mel Gordon, who first made a name in
China as a general in the Imperial
service, and afterwards as Governor
of the Equatorial Provinces of Egypt,
where he was favourably known, under
the title of Gordon Pasha, for his great
efforts in putting down the slave trade.
The Marquis Of Ripon, the new Vice
roy of India, had just appointed him
as his private secretary, an office
which, as will be seen below, he has
resigned for the purpose of taking
part in possible events of Importance
in China. The Daily News says:
"China is beginning to resume her
place in history, and to assert her
right to be reckoned as a. frst-class
Power. The earliest result of the in
creasing stir in China has been to call
Colonel Gordon back to the scene
OF his great achievements. Only a
few days have passed since Colonel
Gordon suddenly resigned the post
Which he had just accepted-the post
OF secretary to the Viceroy of India.

Colonel Gordon's sudden resignation of
his recent appointment as Secretary to the
Viceroy of India created so much surprise
that he thought fit to address q letter Of
explanation to the Bombay Press. 1t is
not an ordinary epistle, nor the writer an
ordinary man. He writes, as quoted in the
Times.
"Men at times, owing to the mysteries
of Providence, from judgements which
they afterwards repent of. This is my
case in accepting the appointment which
the Marquis of Ripon honoured me in
offering me. l repented of my act as soon
as I had accepted the appointment, and I
deeply regret that I had not the moral
courage to say so at the time. Nothing
could have exceeded the kindness and
consideration with which the Marquis of
R;pon has treated me. I have never met
any one with whom I could have felt
greater sympathy in the arduous task he
has undertaken. God has blessed India and
England in giving the Marquis of Ripon
the Viceroyalty. He will succeed 10 spite
of all obstacles, for God is with him,
and who shall stand against Him. I
might have gone up to Simla ; I might
have quietly pleaded all sorts Of excuses
for my return but they would have been
false, aud would have been unfair to the
Marquis of Ripon. I have preferred to
state at once publicly what / have done;
to take the entire blame, which l rightly

ports from the United States are provisions

imported exclusively from England. The
carrying trade is chiefly in the hands of
the British, French and Germans.
