A trade organ, the New York Dry
Goods Bulletin, has even been
brought into politics, and supports
Garfield and Arthur because they are
pledged to sustain the policy which
has secured the present development
of American industry. 1.-THE DEM
ocratic party" it says, sis not pledg-
ed to such purely American interests !;
and Hancock and English have no
budapest directing their way, if
elected. For ourselves, we must
select a known advantage, which
grows daily more and more needful,
and which has built up our commerce
and manufactures, and we must de-
cline to recognize that which is at
least uncertain, and that may, by a
single congressional enactment, in
jure, enfeeble or destroy our present
prosperity"
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1880-08-14

Everywhere in the North the Re-
publican canvass is showing intensi-
ty of feeling. The free voters never
better understood the vital questions
at issue. The efforts of the Demo-
cratic party to hide its terrible record
behind its candidate, and silence the
voices of the past, will prove fail
ure. History is too well understood
and its facts too fully substantiated
by the evidence of millions of living
men, to make such an experiment a
success. The country is prosperous
and rapidly recovering from the
great .prostration produced oy the
rebellion of the Southern States,
which now have the insolence to de-
mand that the government be turned
over to them. Why should the loyal
people want a change?

SON of Mr.. and Mrs. George Marley,

In his Journey from New York
city to Chautauqua, General Garfield
passed through section of the State
whose vote will be very important in
November, and the receptions which
he met with all along the line were
so enthusiastic, and were participated
in by SO great a number of people, as
to thoroughly demonstrate his
strength and popularity as candi-
date. The heartiness with which he
was greeted meant very much more
than the mere curiosity of the throngs
to see a leader in American states
manship and the probable next Pres
ident. General Garfield is so entirely
man of the people that his ming
ling with them in this Democratic
fashion can only be objected to by
captious and unreasoning critics.

gard to his own State of Indiana, he
judged that there would be a change.

No one need detract from the abil~
ity, Of Gen. Hancock as soldier. He
was educated by the Government set
apart, consecrated, and has been a
paid officer during his life of service.
He could not have been true to coun.
try and done less. He fought well al
Gettysburgh but that does not make
him a statesman. The old farmer
who knew Frank Pierce intimately
said che was nice man but spread
him all oyer the country and he
would spread almighty thin" Such
may be true of Hancock. There is
one question, the people would be
glad to have Gen. Hancock answer.
Who nominated him, and who his
friends are upon whom he depends
for an election ? They think they
now know, but as, Sambo said
"Massa Hancock we. wants to know
which way your gun is pintin jest
now"

TUNE :-CAsTLEs IN THE AIR; or Twenty
Years Ago.
There was bridge to build across the Yough
A year or two ago: ....a..
Twas offered by the Commissioners,
And bid in very low.
Yet the right ones hadn't got the bridge,
Though it was very low;
They called the bid and tried it twice,
And found there was no show.
There are inquiries of how we can
Just do the work so low;
I'll tell you how that is. my friends:
We work and that's not slow. ..-...
We are working now with all our might,
Thinking it a dry snap;
And hope the Commissioners won't
Cut us Off with dry flap.
SO Ike and Ben and HenIy,
A shop did there erect,
And on the Seventeenth, at night,
BY JENNY down it went.
But who threw down the blacksmith shop,
We'd very much like to know?
Yet Well find ouI in time, my friends,
And all of you shall, too.
There were half-round drills and various
things
Were in tho chest, we know,
But whatw we found was on the ground,
Way down the hill below.
Now just think how wise 1t was
On going to the church.
And stopping at the blacksmith shop,
And getting in q lurch.
SO now boys, don't talk too much,
Your tales they do not hit,
| For ii you keep on little while,
Your party is sure TO split.
You had better pay the twenty down,
And have the thing kept still
Than have the news going round,
And out in the form of rills.
pitied poor Ed SO very much,
! When heard that he was hurt
And thought that If it had only been
Some Of the others fate.
So David J.. had better not
Make any more of those snaps,
That causes horses to run Off
And throws down blacksmith shops.

God Bless the Lads!

A little lad used to meet,
Long years ago, upon the street,
Whose pleasant smile and look of truth,
The sweet attractiveness of youth,
So won my heart that would watch
Among the crowd his nod to catch,
That was, upon a cloudy day,
a bit of sunshine on my way;
And answering back with smile as glad,
said, "GOd bless the little lad"
For him felt an anxious care,
IN all his interests Had share,
And planned what should his future be,
AS if he had belonged 10 me.
As chiidless mothers. for the good
OF hearts instinct with motherhood,

Or where he lived; what did care:
Or if his garments were as fine
As should give a child of mine!
My daily thought, my chief concern,
Was that he might no evil learn,
But strive in manliness to be
Foremost, and in integrity,
To rise, by every chance he had,
To prove himself an honest lad.
Twas years ago used to know
This little lad and love him so,
And since our parting ne'er Pve heard
OF him. or had a single word
To cheer my thoughts; yet all the while
The recollection of his smile,
His hearty laugh, his look of truth,
The sweet attractiveness of youth,
In many an hour have made me glad
That once knew the little lad.
/ can not think he went astray,
Or wandered in an evil way,
But must believe he's neat and trim
As when first encountered him.
And when among the news read
OF gallant or heroic deed,
feel that he would do just so
This little lad used to know;
And so pray, while dew-drops fall,
God bless the lads! God bless them ally!

More accurate calculation, however
shows that there is no danger of SO dis

like brake, and slowly diminish the
speed of the earth's rotation.
