man from Chicago and say: do not ask me
to vote for an appropriation to build court
house or post Office in your city; never ex-
pect to get any letters from that Office, and the
people OF my district never expect to be in
your courts" If we we're to act in this spirit
OF narrow isolation we should be unfit for the
national posiiiO we occupy.
Too much of our tariff discussion has been
warped bv narrow and sectional consi.' era
tiOns But when we base orr action upon the
conceded national importance of the great in
dus'ries have referred to, when we RI coguize
the fact that artisans and their produces arr

those interests without which the nation can
not become great and self-sustainig.
So Important, in my view, Is the ability of
the nation to manufacture all these articles
necessary to arm, equip, and clothe our people,
that II 1t could not be secured in any other
way would vote tn pay money out of the ted

were depending to furnish US these supplies?
The system adopted by our fathers is wiser,

Last Forlorn Attempt to Save Han

New YORK. Oct. 2S.-The Republican Ma
tiolal Committee has received information
from the WI st Of scheme TO carry New York
for the Democrats by the use of money OH
tanned by asst sing rich Democrats in sure,
Republican States. The scheme was concrct
Ell at u secret meeting of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, held in this city Oh the Sal
urday following the October elections. Thu
members of that committee from all the Stat e.
agreed at that meeting upon the amount to b.
furnished by each State, and Immediately re-
turned home to raise the money by levying as
sessments upon wealthy Democrats. The
whole amount to be raised is not known, but il
is asserted TO be- not less than $30O,OUO. The
amount sent from Minnesota, one of the
smallest and poorest of the Western States
where the Democrats are in hopeless minor
ity, is $4,000. This money was sent yester
day, SO the Republican National Committee is
informed from trustworthy source. 1t is
made up of contributions from several leading
Democrats in the larger towns. The money
was sent to Chairman Barnum. 1t is believed
that large amounts from other States are
daily pouring into this Democratic corruption
fund.
This new fund, it is stated, is to be used in
New York city and the oiher large cities of the
tate to buy votes enough to carry the State
for Hancock. The facts obtained make it GER
tain that this corrupt scheme was proposed and
accepted at the private meeting of the Demo-
cratic managers about two weeks ago; that
Chairman Barnum has been in correspondence
with members of the committees of the vari-
ons States since that meeting upon this sub
ject; and that in the execution of this ar
rangement, $4,000 has been raised in ONT
Stale and place in the hands OF the chairman
OF the Democratic National Committee.
