The great importance of the contest in this State should move every Republican to most vigorous effort from now until the polls close next Tuesday. There is good reason to believe that these last two or three days of the campaign will be devoted to the most desperate endeavors on the part of the Dem- ocrats to save the State. The Tribune sets forth the situation correctly as follows |: 'sMr. English has his pride enlisted in the matter, and will spare nothing to save him. self the modification of defeat. It is known that the Democratic managers have money in abundance and that word has gone out that there is no limit to the supply nor any re- strictions upon expenditure. Against the Encouragement engendered by recent disas- ters they have the inspiration of an over flowing treasury and the desperation of men who are stalking all upon last chance. They have in addition the weight of Chairman Bar num's active cooperation, with the proba- bility that for the next two or three days he will give his personal attention to the Con- necticut canvass. What that means the peo- pie of Connecticut, and for that matter of the whole country-since the disclosures of the past fortnight-do not need to be told. ,
 To defeat the Democratic schemes the work and vote of every Republican are need ed. We have desperate and interruptions enemy, with unusual resources at his con- mand, to deal with but victory is ours with proper effort

NEW HAVEN AND A PROTECTIVE
 

NEW HAVEN AND A PROTECTIVE TARIFF.
 Twenty-Five years ago New Haven was comparatively a small city with about 30, COG inhabitants and with only one distinctive branch of industry-the manufacture of car. riages. To-day New Haven is the third city in New England and contains sixty-four thou. sand people. The sound of the hammer the gleam of the forge and the whirl of busy ma chinery are on every hand. Our manufac turing establishments give employment tc fifteen thousand persons, and the product ot our varied industries amounts to fifteen mil. lions of dollars annually. This rapid growth of New Haven in the matter of population, and the wonderful increase of all it's material interests have been accomplished under a Republican administration and under the fostering care of that underlying principle ot the Republican party, Protection to Ameri. can industry"
 What effect the Democratic policy of "a tariff for revenue only" would have on the present prosperity and future growth of New Haven is foreshadowed in the following extracts we clip from one of Professor Sum-
 
 The city of Paterson is said to be much ex- ercised lest protection be abandoned. It calls itself dependent on tariff. If that is true, then, as I have shown, Paterson is a national luxury on which we have spent a great deal of capital The whole nation has spent its wealth for @ great many years to construct and maintain Paterson. Paterson, no doubt, is fine thing to have, but the question whether it pays to keep up Pater- son, and whether we can afford it, must be allowed to be considered without offence to anybody, if Paterson raises the question by offering new demand that the support shall be continued. The world could get along without Paterson, and those of us who have to fight the battle of life without favor, privilege or protection must at last defend ourselves and throw Paterson off to live or die, as other cities do, according to her pow CT to sustain herself by productive industry
 The Coats Thread company, it is announc- ed, propose to double their mill if Garfield is elected, but if Hancock is elected, they will make the thread in England. By all means, then, let us elect Hancock and stop them from enlarging their means to waste our wealth. If they will sell us the thread at four cents instead of six (for the repeal of the tariff is what is assumed in this story) it makes no difference to us where they make it. Tie men that they now employ can go into some self-supporting industry, and cease to waste the capital Of the country. The property can be put to some productive use, and the whole country will be that much bet ter of.
 There is the whole matter in a nutshell. In order that this Democratic theory of free trade may be put into operation, the thriving city of Paterson must close it's mills and turn it's operatives into the streets New Hayens busy enterprises must cease and it's great shops and factories lie idle, and in nearly all the industrial centers of the North stagnation must take the place of our present business activity. Think of it, workmen, and decide which you prefer.

EX-GOVERNOR SEYMOUR MISTAKEN.
 Ex-Governor Seymour professes to think that if the Democrats had little more time they could repair the damage done their prospects by the discussion of the tariff question. He is mistaken. The record of the Democratic party makes the meaning of the phrase "a tariff for revenue only'' so plain that wayfaring man would have to be very foolish to misinterpret it. Over and over again has the Democratic party put it. self on record against protection. One of the recent instances is found in the proceed ings in the House of Representatives on the 1st of December, 1877. On that day Mir. Mills, Democratic member from Texas, in- troduced resolution in the following terms {:
 st ResoIUed, That the Committee of Ways and Means be instructed to revise the tariff to make it purely and solely tariff for revenue and not for protecting class of citizens by plundering an other"
 He moved that the rules be suspended, and the resolution passed. After some parlia- mentary man@uvring the House was brought to a vote. The House was very thin. A call just previous had resulted in the failure of 125 members to answer to their names, and only 16S members were present, many of whom were paired. The resolution received 67 votes in the affirmative, while 76 opposed it. The affirmative vote was made up of 61 Democrats and Republicans the negative of 64 Republicans and 12 Democrats In ad- dition to other pairs where the intentions of absent voters were not known, there were seven Democratic members in regard to whom it was positively announced that they would have voted for the resolution. Four of these members were present and said that if they were at liberty to vote they should support the resolution. The case stands thus 61 Democrats voted for the resolution, 4 paired in favor of it. voted against it, 60 were absent, and 31 dodged the vote But as eleven out of every twelve Democrats who were present and voted, or paired, were in favor of the resolution, we have a right to assume that large majority of the whole number of members were in favor of it.
 A large number of those who then voted for ia tariff for revenue only" are again can didates for election. There is no reason to

The Supreme Court of the State of Massa- chusetts has just rendered decision which, in it's principle, is of importance to municipal governments, as well as to those who are in- clined to purchase estates at tax sale. Prior to 1878 it had been the practice in Boston, in notifying sales for unpaid taxes, to say that ''said parcel of real estate, or such undivided portion thereof as may be necessary, will be offered for sale" The Supreme Court de- cided that the collector had no authority to Sell an undivided portion of real estate. Therefore the Legislature passed an act that no such sale should be held invalid, where proceedings had not already been commenced, nor prior to certain date. Now the Supreme Court has decided that such act of the Gen eral Court is unconstitutional. In other words, the express terms of the statute must be complied with upon sale for taxes, and the Legislature has no power to rectify or make good sale which was not originally valid in law.

EDITORIAL NOTES.
Of the ten State Senators to be elected Tuesday the Republicans are reasonably sure of electing five, and may elect eight.

A correspondent of the Louisville Courier Journal, who has personally examined Tom Hughes Tennessee Rugby with view to settlement was completely disgusted with what he saw. The land will raise barrel of corn to the acre, he says, if the crows keep away until it is gathered It is too elevated to raise early vegetables for the Cincinnati market. The Englishmen there lounge about in fine clothes bossing the American mechanics and laborers who do the work. They also think Americans "distressingly vu1gar,' and laugh over letters of inquiry from different parts of the country as if they were huge joke.

Mr. James G. Patterson, of artftrd, who is, according to the Democrats, Republican bulldozer, has written open letter to the employees of the New England granite works
 (of which he is president) at Westerly, R. l., 1 and Hartford, upon the political situation.
 He freely and frankly discusses the points at issue between the two parties, and especially refers to the disastrous effects which would result to American labor interests by such changes in the tariff as are advocated in the Democratic platform The whole document is ably written and concludes as follows:
 I have written this letter because I believe it is for the public interest, for your interest, and for my interest, that you should by your
 votes, and by every other honorable effort. sustain the Republican party in the coming election.
 It has been falsely charged and reported to Washington that in past elections you have been threatened with discharge from your employment unless you cast your votes as directed by your employers. No one knows better than you do that this is not true. l have the courage of my opinions and convic- tions, and it is my right and privilege to con vince you if can that I am justified in the opinions which I hold. On the other hand l grant you the same privilege which l claim for myself, and no man ever has been or ever will be disc harged from my service because he votes in accordance with the dictates of his own conscience.

Great things have always been expected of
 Japan, but by far the most sanguine report
 of the possibilities of that country comes from an agent of the San Francisco Board of Trade, who has been on 8 tour of investiga- ton. He says that with population of 35,- OOO GOO only one-eighth of the arabic land is cultivated It would be easy to introduce American agricultural machinery, especially if it could cultivate rice as first success
 Americans are in favor with the government and the people. The climate is inviting; It is tempered by constant stream from the
 equator on one hand and by counter cur rent from the Arctic seas on the other hand.
 Japan is equal in area to three hundred States like California. There is no limit to it's capacity for producing tea and silk with our
 implements, rice also, and this insures ca
 pacity for trade. Even now Japan takes to
 our flour along it's seaboard. This trade would grow immensely if we would send flour into the interior, with cooks to show them how to use it.
