for protection, the results of which work
ingmen see when they compare wages
here and in Europe.
III. When the democratic party was
formed, it was inspired by the tarif-hating
spirit of Southern nullifiers, who had tried
in South Carolina to break up the Union
because they could not defeat tariff for
the encouragement of manufactures.
". In 1910, and in every other plat
form until after the war began. the Demo-
cratic party opposed protection. and de-
manded tariff tor revenue only. This
demand it repeated in 1876 and denounced
the present tariff as "a masterpiece OF
Injustice The same demand. tariff
for revenue only it makes again this
year. Now, as at the beginning, it is the
representative of the landed aristocracy
Of the South.
V. When the Republicans adopted the
protective tariff in 1861, every Democrat
in Congress except two voted against it
Every other bill passed. of the same ma
ture, from 1861 to 1867, was opposed by
nearly every Democrat. The Wood bill,
an attempt to break down the present
tariff, WAS supported only two years age
by 1l3 Democrats, and opposed by only
nineteen.
VI. General Garfield began life as a
laborer himself, and has risen by his own
efforts, never forgetting the free working
men from whom he was chosen and whom
he splendidly represents. His was the
best speech made to defeat the Wood bill
1873, and it was upon his motion that the
bill was killed in spite of 1l3 Democratic
votes
VII. When the democratic party pre-
tends that it can be trusted to maintain
the tariff, it asks you to disbelIeve all its
pledges and all its acts for forty years
and TO nelieve that it is false to its pledge
made only three months ago. Is it moi
easier to believe that its new professions
and promises are false? Parties do not
change their character, four millions Of
voters do not change their real purpose,
in a single month.
VIII. A majority of the democratic
party will do much of the harm that the
worst acts of that party might do. Men
will expect the worst, and prepare for il
by curtailing work or closing shops.
TX. A majority for the republican party
will keep the prosperity we now have.
Four years more Of safety will be assured
When we are well off, it is the part OF
sensible men to risk no change.

The Vile Democracy.
Oct. Goth, 1880

| w. Jun, io'C'
To the Editor of the Kennebee Jouraoi:-
| How long are decent men going to treat as
gentlemen and good citizens the pack of fell
lows who are now leading the national demo
lying, Islander and forgery, all within few
days, and what next they will do, no one can
tell.
Take the case of the alleged Chinese letter,
was laundering forgery, and see with what
persstency the democratic leaders cling to
it. Even the heretofore respectable, harm
less Boston Post, wakes up this morning,
claiming to believe that Gen Garfield wrote
it. The practical lesson in the premises is
this: How many of the citizens of the ma
| ton really want to put the country under
the rule of party. the leaders of which are
capable of such outrages? Political prejudice
will go great way toward holding one to his
| old associates; but there come times, when
sober Judgment overrides prejudice, and
causes men to throw off the yoke of party,
the interests of those who are to follow them.
| The gambler never learns his own son TO
gamble the rum seller does not allow his
boy about the bar-room, the pirate seeks to
teaches his children not TO steal, the high
wayman shudders when he thinks his son
might come to his condition. So, many hon
est men to-day, when they see Chairman
Barnum and the leading men in the demo-
| cratic party resorting to lying, SANDER.
| stealing and forgery. will halt and think
| and then turn away from the fellowship of
such men.
The mistake we are making in this cam
paigu is like that of 1860. We thought then
| there was some honor and decency as well as
patriotism among the leaders of the old dem
ocratic party. Alas for this credulity let
what followed tell the tale.
We now have among us republicans who
blinded to all that is transporting will tell you
that they still believe there are honorable
men leading the democracy, and if we are not
careful we will find ourselves in a similar
situation to that of 1861. The men who led
on to secession and rebellion were patriots
and gentlemen of honor as compared with
this mule purchasing cypher writing, chalk
daubings telegram stealing, lying, SANDER
ing forging crowd, who are to-day leading
in an attempt to subv,rt the institutions OF
this country more dishonest than the acts of
wigfall, Toombs and JEFF Davis showed
them to be up to the firing upon Sumter.
Fore-warned is fore-armed.
We have experienced the desperation and
wickedness of the Democratic party once,
they are nor at the same old game, under
another FORM" as JEFF Davis predicted they
would be in 1865, and the only just check,
the only way to punish them is through a
Republican victory at the polls, one week
from to-day. Standing, as the Democratic
leaders do, branded as slanderers, thieves and
forgers, who will stand up with them to be
counted? What kind of a government would
we have under the administration of such
men? Let US all pause while contemplating
such picture, and then march to the polls
and rebuke such things by voting for Gar
field and Arthur.

The signs of a great national repubi-
can victory are evident. Again republi-
can President will be elected. The Solid
South will be met by Solid North next
Tuesday, and when the polls close the
South will be again beaten as it deserves
to be.
Over the larger part of the State the re-
publicans are alive and exerting them
selves in a manly way. They are making
business of the election. They are at
work wherever work is to be done. They
don't stop to find fault and criticise the
management of the campaign. but they 60
into the canvass with will and purpose
to do what they can to carry the election.
The common people are moving. They
do not ask the Office holders and leaders
to bear all the burdens and do all the
labor of the campaign, but they are com
ing to the front. and exertng them
selves to have the State roll up a
majority for the Presidential ticket.
There are men subscribing and paying
money in hundreds of towns. to get voters
home, who seldom subscribe anything.
Each town appears to be taking care of
itself in this respect. Every republican
seems to be anxious and willing to do
something for the cause. There will be
large republican gains in many towns.
We trust there will be losses in none.
We are satisfied there will be none if our
friends rally with confidence and resolu-
ton.
We occasionally hear republican ex-
press doubts of the result in the State, and
complain that nothing is doing and the re-
publicans in his locality are dead. But
those who talk this way are few Now
we want to say to those who think nothing
is being done and that the result is in
great doubt in this State, that they were
never more mistaken in their lives as TO
the general interest felt in the election and
the amount of work being done.
In many places stores and shops will be
closed next Tuesday to attend TO election
Men are on active duty who never before
did anything but cast their own vote. One
dollar subscriptions are being made in
many towns to get home voters. Voters
are coming home and will pay their own
expenses who on common occasions could
not afford to make such an outlay. Re-
publcans are pulling together and with a
will, and they mean to be victorious this
time.
Let this good work so on until the cleo
ton closes. Let the republicans of every
town consult together and take measures
to bring out the fall republican strength.
There are republicans who failed to vote
in September who we trust will be out
in November.
Let us have a universal rally. an old
fashioned rally. rally of the business
men, the laboring men, the plain people,
a rally all together. and on Tuesday
next the State will stand proudly erect
with a good majority for Garfield and
Arthur.
