Letter from Mr.. COnkling.

Senator Conkling wrote the following let
ter to a republican meeting in Rochester on
Friday evening last:
UTICA, n. Y, Sept. /, 1880.
o. f. Williams. Esq Rochester, ~ T.:
MY DEAR SIR: l have your letter about
your meeting. When the Lincoln Club"
moves anywhere. all know Whist it means
The man who bore that name ard immortal
lied it died for being a republican-those
who take his name must surely mean to keep
the republican faith. The principles and thu.
achievements of the republican party are at
stake now. not because particular candidates
were nominated. not because others were not
but for broader, higher reasons, modified only
in degree and manifestation. the same forces
which brought the republican organization
into existence, both the forces which opposed
and the forces which supported 1.-THE same
forces which Lave required and those which
have achieved its ascendency-are still alive
and strong. It stands for peace, order, equal
rights, and freedom among men, and for safe
ty of property and labor Those who compose
it, and the communities and States which up
hold it,represent overw helming preponderance
of the material interests of the Countrywide
agricultural productive. commercial. and
tax-paying interests; and in every partner
ship it is wise and safe for those who own
most to keep their share of control. When
ever in a business concern-snd the govern
ment of every country is in the highest sense
business concern money is to be expend-
ed or obligations to be incurred. those who
are to do the paving had better do the decid-
ing. in the first place, whether the thing is
wise at all. In short, those who have the
right to do so. and whose interests are great
est. had better keep the staff in their own
hands, especially in unsettled uncertain
times.
This one lesson, fully understood, is
enough of itself to show the American peo-
pie the grave hazard at this time Of putting
in power the democratic party. dominated SIS
il must be. The democratic nominee for
President is an honorable man. and therefore
he will not try to detraud the party whose
nomination he has accepted of the results
implied By success. knowing what the re-
suits must be. Though cannot Meet the re-
publicans of Rochester on the night you
name, my earnest sympathy will be with
them in every effort and pu.po I.
to lift high the republican tenuer and push
ON the republican column.
Cordially yours,

The card OF Col. Dunning of Bangor
which appears elsewhere in this paper
sheds flood of light on the statement
made by Mr.. Nye that some person tried
to bride him. MIR. Dunniug is the gentle
man whom Mr.. Nye met in Bangor. and
he sought the interview with Mr.. Nye from
personal friendship, to advise him to
change his reckless course. Out Of this
meeting with friend. who had none but
the most honorable and friendly motives
towards Mr.. Nye, the latter constrnc; ed
the statement that an attempt had been
made to bride him! Mr.. Nye seems to be
bound to find the lowest depths since he
began his warfare upon Gov. Davis.

reaching his home and acquainting his wife with
what he had done, she refused to have it adj.

child passed in suffering, and the parents
without sleep. Returning home the day fol-
lowing, the father found the baby still worse ;
and while contemplating another sleepless
night, the mother stepped from the room to
attend to some domestic duties, and left the
father with the child. During her absence
he administered a portion of the Soothing Syr-
up to the baby. and said nothing. That night
all hands slept well, and the little fellow
awoke in the morning bright and happy. The

Facts for Farmers.

The State ut Name. more than an,
other in the Union. finds advantage in tn.
protective policy maintained by Rrpubli-
can legislation. In fact. its situation and
the character Of its soil make that policy
absolutely necessary to its prosperity.
Maine is grestly exposed Ia competition
by its situation between two of the British
Provin es. whose agricultural products
can be more cheaply put into market on
account of the low wages aud inferior
ways of living to which the provincial
people submit. The enterpri>ing and in
telligent farmers of Maine never would
live upon the meagre fare to whirh the
British laborer is reduced. nor would the
Maine laborer accept the starvation wages
which the provincial laborer has to put up
with. II is clear. therefore. that the
Maine farmer and laborer must have the
advantage of fostering legislation. or re-
lapse into condition of ignorance and
unthriit. little more desirable than that of
the pauper labor of Europe.
We have shown already how the Maine
farmer is protected directly against what
would otherwise be the ruinous competi-
ton of the chief productions of New
Brunswick and Nova Scotia. For example,
the manner OF living among the sgricul-
tural population of those provinces is so in
ferior and labor is so poorly paid. that the
staple article of potatoes can be raised Tor
Is or 20 cents bushcl. Had they free
access to all our markets along the Attain
tic coast. they could very easily flood
them. and our farmers. who enjoy better
homes and expect better returns for labor.
would be driven entirely out of the bust
ness. The fifteen cents per bushel which
the tariff assesses upon the imported pro-
duct is just SO much profit to the Maine
farmer. enabling him to send his potatoes
to all the markets from Boston to Charles
ton, and bring quick and paying returns.
A free trade policy, or tariff Tor reve-
nue. only" which the Democrats now
demsnd, would strike off this protection
to the potato producer. and ruin one of
the most profitable branches of agriculture
in Maine.
The wool interest is even more involved
in this policy, since the Democratic tariff
would not only render sheep raising an
impossibility. but would drive out our
more profitable manufacturing interests.
and thus depopu.ate towns that now fur.

cause he felt sure that I had always been

of our interview, and would repeat that it
was matter of which no one else had any

is to be placed solely upon me Tor attempting

points do not BY any means exhaust the
subject of protection to home industries,

but more particularly to the farmer.
Maine is developing largely as producer
Of fine stock, and this branch of the agri-
cultural business requires the fostering
care of the government. Allied with this
is the dairy, which is rapidly growing in
importance. There is no reason why
Maine should not supply the Boston
marke, with butter and cheese. and under
the impetus given to the production OF
these articles By the improvement in stock
and the encouraging protection Of tariff
on foreign imports. amounting to from 10
to 25 per cent, they are destined to
become Of leading importance But under
4 revenue tariff these articles would be
among the first to 60 on the free list,
because they most essentially belong to
the articles requiring protection in order
to make the home production profitable.
and when it becomes profitable they bring
but little revenue.
HONEST Truth asks the farmers OF
Maine to consider these facts candidly in
order to determine intelIigently whether
it is not best to let well enough alone.

Sectional Prejudice.

When a party appeals to false issues
and sectional prejudice to promote sue
cess, it must have lost faith in the JUS
tice OF its cause or the personal merits of
its candidate. The Walla Walla Union,
the home organ Of Mr.. Brents, makes
such an appeal to the voters of Eastern
Washington in the following terms:
"We have reached point in the polit-
ica history OF Washington Territory
when the Eastern part must assert Its
power, and by uniting on its home can
didate show to the Western portion that
when the nominee of the Republican
party-a party that, with one exception.
has triumphed in every campaign in the
Territory since 1S63-is resident of
Eastern Washington. they must support
HIM. Let Eastern Washington unite to
elect Mr. Brents. who was nominated,
almost unanimously, on the first ballot,
by the largest Republican Convention
ever held in the Territory. Puget Sound
ers want lesson. Let us give them
one"
Mr.. Brents' platform favors the aboli-
ton of tribal relations and the admission
of Indians to citizenship. "Ple-biter'
evidently regards that part Of the plat>
form as an accomplished fact, for such

mentel with recognition of the fact that
eternal vigilance IS the price of liberty"
At present our people seem to take it for
granted that our ticket will be elected
and the machine ticket rejected simply
upon the merits of the matter in issue.
That is great mistake. Without organs
