ands Of prospectors for lands. There
are millions of fertile acres, and what
they need is capital and willing hands
to work. The disposition to get away
from towns and cities and engage in
agricultural pursuits is hopeful iudi'
cation. In every disaster and period
of peril the nation has to drop back
upon the producers as its chief source
of strength. A State whose acres ore
dotted thick with homes owned by in
telligent occupants, is giant capable
of any achievement 10 the interest o.
humanity. A nation made up Of such
States can look the world in the fact

Garfield ana Lab0ring Men.

The Democrats have published a
letter, which they claim Gen. Garfield
wrote 10 II, J.. Moley Of Lynn, Mass,
last winter, declaring himself in favor
of employing Chinese In this country
1t reads, ~ take il that the question
of employees Is only a question Of prl'
vaie and corporate economy, and In
dviduals or companies have the right
to buy labor where they can get II the
cheapest, So far there would be
nothing 10 hiS discredit in the letter,
If he hadn't jumped on TO the other
side OF the question IN his letter Of ac'
ccptancc, But 1t goes on to say
"Wc have n treaty with the Chinese
government which should be rellg'
iously kept uo,il its provisions are ab'
rogated by the action OF the general
government, and am not prepared
to say that il should be abrogated up-
til our great manufacturing interests
ere conserved in the matter OF laborN
This means precisely that he believes
the the Chinese ought to BE- employed
so as to bring down the prices Of labor
in this country.
In other words, il he is a protec-
zionist, as he now pre,ends to be, he
believes an cxolbilant tariff should be
maintained 10 enable manufacturers TO
get high prices for their goods which
laboring people purchase, while the
government helps them TO beat down
far below the European, to the Chi
nese standard, the prices paid tor

Never, probably, in the history Of
the country have there been more
gross frauds in elections than in Indi-
ana and Ohio this fall. In Franklin
county there were more votes cast
or counted-than there are men in
the city over 81 years old. This years
census shows only 1912 male adults
in the city; the vote reported is
1852. Considering how many I'M
naturalized men there must be, the
fraud in this case cannot be below
1000. This is only one OF tho many
instances where the vote was enor-
mously and fraudulen,ly swollen. Over
400 deputy mashals were appointed
in Indiana in the last days to do par
tisan work for the Republicans. The
Democratic national committee were
well satisfied the week before election,
and admitted it in private, that they
should lose Indiana. Their disposi-
ton very likely was good enough, but
they hacn't the money to match the
corruption fund which the Republi
cans sent out, so that they had to
stand and see their majority bought
away from them. Over $4,000 was
sent from Philadelphia in The last fort
night, and the New York World
claims to know that one express COM
pany carried out 100000 more. AT
fairs have almost reached that pass in
this country when the only question
as to which party will carry an cleo
ton is, which has the most money?
Rome in her worst days, never had
more debauched elections. This COR
ruption is growing worse every year,
and is eating into the very marrow Of
our free institutions.
