NEW CUMBERLAND W. VA, OcI. 20.
Last night, though the weather was very
disparaging and theaPpearance was any
thing but encouraging, while the rain was
trickling down and the wind blowing a
fierce gale, the Republicans made grand
rally and filled our large town hall full Of
enthusiastic people to listen to the address
OF Daniel B. Bruce, Esq, Of Pittsburgh.
Mr.. B. made q lengthy speech, mainly
upon the history OF tariff, showing conclu-
sively the benefits arising from policy
such as the Republican party has enforced
since 1852. He showed bv . clear, logical
argument that England owed all her great
ness and financial prosperity to this one
feature OF protection to home industry,
and that the duty on iron was increased
year after year in England, until she gain.
ed such position among the nations OF
the world that she could protect herself
without placing duty upon shipments Of
manufactured articles that were shipped
into her domain. When she had obtain
ed, as it might be said, the commerce
OF the world, then, and only
then, did England declare for
free trade. His argument was very lengthy
and abounded with historical facts with
reference To- the tariff for protection and
the iollocy Of tariff for rErrnH only. He
clearly demonstrated to the audience why
the South was in favor OF tariff for reve-
nue. only, or free trade. He said that in
aute-belium days the South, with her
negro slavery, produced cotton, and then
| 1t was said that 1t was King. They could
trade with old England and receive gold
for it, and they did not wish to help build
up the North with workshops OF industry
and Of wealth thereby losing the trade oil
Epgland and her gold. But under the
care and protection OF our industries by
means OF protective tariff even the South
was beginning to smile and show glad.
some appearance, that manufactures were
springing up in different parts OF the South
that would eventually make Us people OF
one interest and consequently open up
the broad expanse OF wealth that the all
wise Creator had So layishly i'm
planted in the bowels OF mother
earth. The Democracy here have almost,
or We might say entirely, abandoned the
contest, unless they are running q still
hunt. We were in error the other day
when we said that the eackno owledged leader
OF the Bourbon ranks here had not taken
a newspaper for the past ysre or ten years,
for since that time we have ascertatned
that some one has been very kind to him
and now the Steubenville Gdsetts Is being
sent as campaign document. 1t Is to bt
hoped some one may read It to him ths
he will know something about the origin
OF s29 and the term De Golyer, etc.
The Republicans were never in q betteI
