that against the abstract doctrine
of free trade, as such, very little
can be said, but il can never be
applied to values except in times
of peace.
. That on April /, 1870, Garfield
said; "a large majority of the
great thinkers Of the day are lean
ing in the direction of what is
called free trade"
That August, 1872, he voted to
reduce the existing duties on tools,
iron and steel, and all inanufac-
lures Of the same, except cotton
machinery, 10 per cent. Of such
duties.
That in 1870 he voted to reduce
the duty on pig iron from SO to 81
per ton.
That he voted against paying a
rebate equal TO the duties on tim
Der, hemp, manila, etc, used in
ship-building.
That he voted to reduce the pa
per pulp.
That he was elected an honorary
member of the Golden Free Trade
club and had not withdrawn.
And that when, in 1877, he was
a candidate for speaker of the
house, such protection Republican
members as Erret, Bayne and Kel-
linger worked against him, regard
ing him as inimical TO the iron in
tererests of Pennsylvania.
The press agents conversation
with Garfield was as follows:
Agent should like to obtain
your views on the tariff question"
Garfield, much flurried, replied
81 say nothing to anybody"
Agent.-"Do you refuse to give
the people your position on this
question ?"
Garfield. refuse to say any,
thing. say what have to say in
public"
The agent was about to pro-
pound other questions when Gar
field interrupted by leaving him
and rushing hurriedly out Of the
room.

Garfield Refuses 10 Give His Views
on the Tariff Question.

Cleveland, Oct. 19.-General G lar
field being charged all over the
country with inconsistency on the
tariff record, the National Press
Association agent called on him at
Mentor, yesterday, TO secure an
swers to the following charges:
That in June, 1864, he voted to
reduce the tariff on railroad iron
from 80 to GO cents per hundred.
That in debate in the House OF
Representatives, July 10, 1866, be
said: al am willing as q compro-
mise to favor the reduction of the
proposed duty on railroad iron. I
think we shall also reduce the pro-
posed duty on salt, and have no
doubt that in several other par
ticulsrs we shall reduce the duty"
That in the same debate he said
Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1880-10-27

ated three or four hundred dollar:
to pay an "agent" TO go TO Lansing
to help in getting through the APP
preparation. Now, If that "agent'
received that money, it was a swim
die, a cheat, and a fraud. That
"agent" had nothing whatever tc
do in obtaining the appropriation
he was not there when il was pass.
ed. IL he got the money, he has
just so much money that rightfully
belongs to Wilson township. III j
had known at the time that your
town was being swindled in the
matter, should have exposed it.
When "Farmer" says thismoney was
paid to men of different political
stripe, he is mistaken. 1t all went
into the pockets of two men, both
Republicans. Twill give Farmer
$50 if he will prove that any Dem
ocrat got any of that money. The
simple, plain facts in the case are,
that the township of Wilson was
cheated, defrauded and swindled out
of three or four hundred dollars,
and the Republican leaders of this
place did the cheating.
AS to the Long Lake State road,
no agent was hired or paid, as far
as / can learn, but the appropria-
ton was obtained, all the same. l
claim no special merit in obtaining
these appropriations; l simply did
my duty, precisely what | expect
to do if reelected.
l also see by the last Reporter
that had nothing to do with the
railroad bill. This will be news to
the members Of the last Legislature.
1t was with my consent, and after
consultation, that it was thought
best for Mr.. Cutcheon to introduce
that bill. My ambition was to get
a railroad, not to have the honor
or praise of getting it; and in
order to avoid any jealousy in the
matter, ! thought it best to have
Mr.. Cutcbeon introduce the bill.
| tried to avoid what actually did
take place-the opposition of GER
tain ones in this city. Iknew they
would be jealous of me, and | fear
ed that if they saw the bill was
going to pass they would tiy and
defeat it if it was my bill ; so in
order to avoid this feeling, | did
not introduce the bill myself, brt
every man knows, that has any
knowledge Of the last Legislature,
that it was considered my bill, and
that did more work for it than
any other man in the Legislature.
Mr.. Cutcheon did his share faith
fully and well, but that bill was
considered an Alpena enterprise.
Aud say to the voters of this dis
trict, that after we got that railroad
bill through the House, it was Re-
publicans from this city that killed
tin the Senate and to the shame of
the Republican press of this city,
they have not had the moral cour-
age to condemn the dastardly act.
Yours,

This issue will close the cam
paign as far as the ARGUS is con-
cerned. We have printed many
charges against James A. Garfield,
showing his unfitness to be Presi-
dent of the United States. These
charges are all from Republican
sources. They were from Repub-
lican newspapers from official re-
ports of Republican congressional
committees; from resolutions pass
ed by Republicans in Garfield's
own district, and from his own de-
claration and speeches, and by
them he is convicted Of bribery,
perjury, corruption and moral
cowardice. A voter owes high
er duty to his country than he does
to any party, and his duty to his
country requires that he should
vote against Garfield.

DEAR SIR.-Yours in relation to
the Chinese problem came duly
to hand.
/ take it that the question of
employment is only question Of
private and corporate economy
and individuals or companies have
the right to buy labor where they
can get it the cheapest.
We have a treaty with the Chi
nese government which should be
religiously kept until its provisions
are abrogated by the action Of the
general government, and l am not
prepared to say that it should be
abrogated until our great manu-
featuring interests are conserva-
tive in the matter Of labor.
Very truly yours,
j. A. GARFIELD.

Mr.. EDIToR:-I judge that the

the agent as he puts it, had come

The facts are that neither "agent"
nor any one else came to Lansing
TO aid in getting that appropriation.

This district has been represent
ed in Congress for a number OF
years by Republicans, and one Of
the fruits of their labors has been
the attempt to destroy the fish
business at this place by allowing
the Canadians to bring fish to Al
pena free of duty, and Congress
man Horr, who has represented
this district in Congress for the
past two years, admitted in his
speech, at this place, that he was
not aware of the fact. Notwith-
standing this confession of ignor-
ance and neglect of duty, the Re-
publicans expect the fishermen to
vote for Horn to misrepresent their
interests for two years more.

fairfield on the Chinese,

After the reader has peruSed the
letter of James A. Garfield, in regard
to the introduction of Chinese in
this country, he would naturally
take the whole situation into con-
sideration. The Republican press
has been run this campaign on
southern war claim, government
bonds, bulldozing, rebel brigadiers,
tariff and other falsehoods of the
lowest character, all Of which will
now be dropped to wash Garfield
of the Chinese question.
AS regards the people of the
Pacific Coast, they don't care a
picayune about rebel claims lies,
or government bond lies, or bust
ness lies; and there is one thing
about which they care more than
they care for either the Democrat
ic party or the Republican party
that commanding curse, John
Chinamsn, the arch enemy of
American labor, the pig-tailed pest
that has driven American men and
women out of employment by the
thousand, the almond-eyed strang-
er that brings pestilence and vice
and death to our shores, and hun
ger to our workingmen. The peo-
pie of the Pacific Slope would
vote for any party, or against any
party, in order to get rid of this
obnoxious, loathsome importation
Of Chinese.
The letter of General Garfield
has called the attention of the
country, and will specially call the
attention Of the voters beyond the
Rocky Mountains, to the attitude
OF the Republican candidate for
Presidency, and of the Republi.
can party, upon the all absorbing
question in the Pacific States. The
letter is in entire harmony with the
record Of Garfield in Congress upon
the Chinese question. II is in alb
solute harmony with the record Of
his party in Congress, and Of Pres.
ident Hayes in the White House
upon the Chinese question:
On the LIST day of March, 1879
President Hayes vetoed a oil
which Democrats in Congress haC
passed; a moderate bill, not pro
hibiting the importation OF Chinese
but limiting the number of tn,
heather to be brought on eacl
vessel to fifteen, and General Gar
field voted TO sustain the veto.
But the letter we quote wa:
written nearly year afterward-
in January Of this year-showing
that his opinions, upon this ques
ton at least, remained unchanged
This newly discovered letter com
pels notice to an old fact. IL is un
American to the last degree, and is
an expression Of hostility to the in
terests of every laboring man in the
United States who is not a China
man. Read il, ye workingmer
whose employers forced you to vote
the Republican ticket on the l2tl
of October ! Vote then, il yor
will, for the coming Of the Chinese
Vote yourselves out OF employment
and invite the filthy, pestilentia
Chinaman to become your next
door neighborl This position Of
Garfield and his party upon thi:
important question ought TO lose
and we believe, will lose for him
the vote Of three, II not all Of the
Pacific States

HANCOCK.
GovEREoR's ISLAND
NEw YoRK,
Oct. u. 1850. :
My DEAR GovERNoR.--I have
received your favor Of the 18th
inst. In my letter of acceptance,
l expressed my full sympathy with
our American industries, and !
thought l spoke plainly enough to
satisfy our Jersey friends regard
ing my tariff views. l am too
sound an American to advocate any
departure from the general features
of a policy that has been largely
instrumental in building up our
industries and keeping Americans
from the competition of the under
paid labor of Europe. If we in
tend to remain honest and pay the
public debt, as good people of all
parties do, and if we mean to adj
minister the functions of the gov
erment, then we must raise the
revenue in some way or other.
With a reunited and harmonious
country, we shall certainly in time
pay off the public debt, but the
necessity of raising money for the
administration Of the government
will continue as long as human ma
ture lasts. All parties agree that
the best way for us to raise revenue
is largely by a tariff. So far as we
are concerned, therefore, all talk
about Stree trade" is folly. But
the tariff question will probably
be treated with justice to all our
interests, and the people, by some
such bill as Eaton's. believe that
commission of intelligent ex-
perts, representing both the gov
eminent and American industries,
will suggest measures that will re-
lieve us of any orudities and in
consistencies existing in our pre-
sent laws, and confirm to us a sys-
tenn which will be judicious, just,
harmonious, and, incidentally, pro-
tective, as well as stable in its effects.
/ am, very truly yours,
