An Address to Republicans.

CONGRATULATIONS AND ADVICE FROM THE
CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13-The following adj
dress was issued tonight by the Republican
Congressional Campaign Committee:
/ To the Republican Voters of the United States:
eve have met the enemy, and they are ours.
From Oregon, from Rhode Island from Yer
mont, from Connecticut have come recent
voices bearing no uncertain sound and ring
ing with the notes of Republican victory
And now Ohio, giving us at least 10000 pop
ular majority and Is of her 30 Congressional
Districts, and Indiana, giving us from 5000 to
10000 majority, 8 of her Is Congressman, and
her Legislature, with its certain promise of a
Republican United States Senator, join their
swelling voices with these shouts of triumph,
and seem to make our coming victory sure
The vote of yesterday is due to the fear Of
Democratic ascendancy, of solid Southern
domination, of the ruin of our industries
which would follow Democratic free trade ex-
periments of the disasters to business and la
boring and other interests which would follow
"a change" of government, when all is pros
porous now. 1t means also a united North
against vindictive, solid South. We have
pierced the enemys CENTRE but we must not
sleep on her arms We must charge along the
whole line and rout HIM, morse, foot and ORA
goons." Republicans, remember that this is
the last ditch of the solid South, and that the
desperation of despair is not to be despised-
Stand by your colors, rest not for an instant,
sustain your committees in the fight for doubt
full districts, be vigilant, aggressive, pressing
the enemy in the front, in the rear, and ON the
TANKS, and do not cease your efforts until a
complete and overwhelming victory in No
vember shall crown them with the assurance
of Republican ascendancy, and that freedom,
peace, and prosperity which will surely ac-
company it. j. A. HUBBELL,
Chairman Republican Congressional Commit
tee.

Why we Want a Protective Tariff.

his speech in New York on the night of the 29th
u Secretary Evarts referred to the question of the
tariff as follows
eve have undertaken on this continent Of ours,
to build up fabric Of politics in which every
laboring man had the same share; every ignorant
man had the same share, every poor man had the
share in political power with the rich and the
strong and the learned and that system we mean to
maintain, and in order to maintain system and
dignity of labor which is known nowhere else in the
world, and never known anywhere in the world till
here and now, to protect the wages of
workingmen from competition with the pauper sys-
TENS of Europe.
s'Upon what a narrow and stupid basis do they
discuss this American system of industry They
speak of it it protection of the mill owners
of the mine owners Of the proprietors and man
ayers Of furnaces and of railroads and of ships.
Why, of course they have their share in the work
ngs of industry, but the object of 1t ALL and the po
tical reason of it ALL and the moral reason of it all
is that we mean to protect wages from being
beaten down by the peasantry the laborers
eign countries, whose dignity, whose manhood,
whose equality are not preserved or thought of
in their system of politics. Thank God, system
of wages is barrier that shall not break down that
dignity, and that will protect that dignity from be-
ing bDken down. 1t isn't for the rich nor for the
great and every laborer in this country ought to,
and probably does know, that his interests pro-
ected by the tariff system of the United States.'

Keeping Friends.

We are the weakest of spendthrifts if we
let one friend drop off through inattention, or
let one push away another, or if we hold
aloof from one for petty jealousy or needless
slight OR roughness. Would you throw away
a diamond because it pricked you? One good
friend is not to be weighed against the Jewels
of all the earth. If there is GOODNESS or I'M
kindness between us, let us come face to face
and have it out Quick, before love grows
cold Life is too short to quarrel in, or to
carry black thoughts of friends. If / was
wrong,I am sorry; if you, then am more sorry
yet, for should not grieve for my friends
misfortune? and the mending of your faults
does not lie with me. But forgiving it does,
and that is the happier office. Give me your
hand, and call it even. There it is gone
and | thank a kind Heaven kept my friend
still A friend is too precious thing to be
lightly held, but it must be little heart that
cannot find room for one or two. Thekind-
ness feel for you warns me toward all the
rest, makes me long to do something to make
you all happy It is easy to lose friend, but
up for the old one when he comes.

Political Notes.

Low tide at Governors Island-high water
on Lake E1ie.
We have had one day OF rejoicing. Now
buckle on your armor once more, and up and
at them.
The Democrats have made up their minds
that Garfield will not be Withdrawn. Grant
will keep until 1884.
The political predictions of Gath in refer
ence to Ohio and Indiana were not just as
truthful as an interview from the same source.
That solitary voice from New Jersey on
Tuesday last indicates that that State will
give 10000 Republican majority next week.
await till the river towns are heard FROM
said Barnum. The river towns have been
heard from and Porter's majority has been
trebled.
The men who put the thirteen words in
flavor of American labor into the Chicago
platform took risk, but they bulded better
than they knew.
The tariff was made "local question: in
Ohio and Indiana, and General Hancock will
gain some new idea on the subject by study
ing the returns
II have just telegraphed to Hancock that the

heard from.

fac sanasle of its first copy published in 1773 I'M
der the name of the Maryland Journal and

Landers has taken his cold plunge in the
democratic Salt river. English looks at the
ice on the bank and shivers as he thinks how
much colder The water will be in November.
We suggest TO General Garfield, now that
the Ohio and Indiana agony is over, that he
send letter to Mr.. Charles A. Dana, editor OF
the New York Sum- thanking him for the val
liable services rendered him during the cam
paign.
The Democrats do not get much comfort from
their friends of the independent" press. The
New York Herald says of the western cleo
tons; g"The great American voter, who is by
means fool, has been asking himself why he
should vote the Democratic ticket, and he has
not been able to make himself very satisfac-
tory reply''

A REvENGEFUL CAMEL-We find this
Eastern story illustrating the cancels malig-
nifty and Notwithstanding his pa
thence and good service when we'll treated ::
On one occasion camel-driver had insulted
the animal in his charge. The driver, from
the expression of its eye, saw that there was
mischief in it, and kept a sharp watch for
some days. One night before he retired to
rest he left his cloak spread over the wooden
saddle Of the camel outside Of the tent. Bur
ing the night the camel approached the cloak,
and believing that its master was fast asleep
under it, lay down and rolled itself backward
and forward over the cloak the saddle broke
under its weight, and the animal was evident
ly well pleased at what it thought was the
cracking and breaking of its masters bones
After time it rose, and looking with con-
tentment on the havoc it had caused, retired
from the spot. Next morning the driver,
who had heard of all that the camel had done,
presented himself to the animal.-The disap-
pointed camel was in such rage at seeing its
master safe and well that it died.
