THE TARIFF MOVEMENT.

The example Of Gardiner in her move
ment of business men is worthy Of i:nita-
ton in other cities and towns. There IL
not a man from the wealthy capitalist to
the apprentice boy that would not feel the
ruinous effect Of abandoning protective
tariff and instituting tariff for revenue
only" as proposed by the supporters OF
General Hancock.
The time is short, but it is long enough
for demonstration all along the line.
Let every town speak. Let every interest
be heard Let the farmer, the merchant,
the manufacturer and the mechanic come
to the front and sustain their interests by
their votes.

Evarts on the Solid South.

HON William NJ. Evarts spoke Wednesday
night, at the Academy, New York, in favor
of the election of Gen. Garfield. The follow
ing is an extract from his speech:
In one part of the country there is no ami
nation, life. love, spirit; none of that move
ment of popular heart, that exaltation of pop
ular mind which belongs to a free people. All
suffrage there is paralyzed and subjugated
And what does its paralysis or subjugation
mean? Free suffrage is not mere formally
of depositing vote; it is reflex of the
moral and intellectual forces of the commu-
nifty. brought to Il focus i'll the selection of the
| candidate of their choice it is the great action
of an Intelligent, loyal, government-loving
people, and if it misses these attributes, il is
no suffrage ut all. How long can that COM
munity which has exhausted the vitality of
our institutions exist and maintain their free
dom?
How long can violence, the inaction of in
dustrv. oppression and cruelty hold sway
without causing \ reign of terror? And how
long can the rest of the country tolerate this:
How long can it be maintained that l3S cleo
toral votes are taken out of politics, and
are welded, not by liberty and justice,
but by power and oppression? How can the
country rest satisfied with a peaceful discus
sion, if there is to be erected a solid vote un-
influenced by arguement, by reason. by in
terest. distributed in the community, if it is
openly proclaimed through the rest of the
country; 'Whoever sides with this ma jestic
mass needs to get but A. votes: whoever
dares to oppose it must get ls5. Our
friends shall have the government with a.
votes: our opponents cannot get the govern
ment without 1855" How long can peaceful
suffrage be maintained as the source of power
if one-ffth of the freemen's voices are neces-
sary to carry the Presidency one way, and four
fitths are necessary to carry it another?

The Forged Chinese Letter.

Chinaman Barnum has fallen back on
forgery as last desperate resort to save
Hancock. A letter has been prepared and
General Garfield's signature affixed there
to. calculated to arouse the anti-C Chinese
prejudice against him in the Pacific States.
General Garfield telegraphed from Men
tor yesterday an unqualified denial of the
authenticity of this letter. The Irareller
presents in another column the result of
inquiries of its own representatives, which
fully confirms the character ascribed to
this letter by Gen. Garfield 1t is ma
licious and stupid forgery. There is no
such man in Lynn as III. l.. Morey, to
whom this spurious letter purports to be
addressed Nor is there any such organ
ization known to the boot and shoe trade
of Lynn as :" The Employers Union,n to
which body the mythical II. l.. Morey is
alleged TO have belonged. OF all the
means of advertising their despair to the
country, the Democratic managers could
have adopted none more effectual than
this desperate, yet dull piece of strategy.

The Opinion finds it very difficult to
reconcile the various factions of democrats
and greenbackers, and is meeting with
unsatisfactory results in its efforts. The
Murch greenback headquarters, since a
straight greenback club was formed in this
city, is deserted and cold. The straight
greenbackers are evidently the larger
portion of the party here, and they do not
intend to vote for any man who will vote
for Hancock. Some of their number
boldly declare themselves on this point.

nent democrats have held prolonged con-
ierences with individual greenbackers,

An Infamous FaIsehOOd.

The history of the democratic party shows
that it has ever defended the rights of labor
and has fought and won many a battle for
the people against the encroachments OF the
aristocracy of aggregated wealth. - Bton
BradJary IN PORTLAND argus.
Mr.. Bradbury could not have put a
greater falsehood than the above into the
same space. The history of the demo-
cratic party will show, and Mr.. Bradbury
knows it. that it was for years the apollo
gist and defender of the system of slave
labor in the South. by which men and
women were bought and sold like cattle
in the market. were subjected to the insO-
lence, the whippings and most brutal ex-
actions of their masters, and if they at
tempted to escape from their miserable
servitudc were pursued by blood-hounds
and torn in pieces if caught. A democratic
court declared that this class of laborers
had no rights that white men were bound
to respect. and the democratic party sus-
tanned the declaration in its platforms,
enforced it in every way rs far rs it was
aided and abetted the slave aristocracy in
their attempts to divide the Union and set
up kingdom with slavery rs the chief
corner stone.
This is the party that Mr.. Bradbury says
''has ever defended the rights OF labor"
Where. IN Gods name. has there ever been
party with so black and base n record
as regards 1.-The rights of labor" as this
same democratic party? Serfdom in
Russia was bliss compared with the slave
system of the South Algerine slavery,
slavery in Rome. slavery anywhere, was
merciful when compared with negro slav-
cry in the South; but the democratic
party upheld it until the war broke the
chains of the colored people and let them
go free. The democratic party friend
of labor il is as base lie as ever was
uttered.
democratic hatred of the party that
crushed IT. The South is the democratic
party, and the South has written in the
democratic platform. on which Hancock
stands. opposition to the tariff. that which
sustains our manufacturing industries and
protects labor from the pauper wages
which grind the laborers of Europe into
the very dirt under the most bitter poverty.
The southern slave masters would like to
wrcak their revenge upon Northern labor
ers for the extinction of slavery. And
Mr.. Bradbury and the democratic party of
the North are willing the South should
have their way. if he and such as he can
have control of the custom houses, post
offices. and other federal patronage in the
northern States. If Hancock should be
elected Mr.. Bradbury would get his re-
ward in the shape of some lucrative office.
and the Southern aristocrats would see
what they could do by Introducing free
trade to reduce northern laborers as near
rs possible to the condition of the negroes
before the rebellion. Against such an
unholy contract as this every honest man.
especially every working man. should
cast his whole influence one week from
next Tuesday. for. in so doing. he is
standing up for his manhood and for fair
wages for fair work.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1880-10-23

Hancock. seeing that the free trade
plank in his platform was certain TO de-
feat him, hastens to repudiate it in a letter
to Senator Randolph, of New jersey.
This shows badly tor General Hancock.
He is not much of q statesman and is GER
tainly poor politician to go back on his
party three weeks before election. Han
cock has not strengthened. but rather
weakened his chances by this change of
front in the face of the enemy. He will
lose every Northern state.-Ns,c Era.
