Garfield Opposed to Protection.

Gen. Garfield entered Congress an avOwed
free trader, and he has sustained every spe-
ciiic attack made upon protection, and often
led tho assault. In every open or insidi-
Gus attempt to destroy tho protective fea-
lures of our tariff laws Gen. Garfield has
been consistent and earnest in seeking to
enforce ga tariff for revenue only" In
1871 Gen. Garfield presided mt the confer
ence of "revenue reformers," or free-traders
as they are called in Pennsylvania, when
Malilon Sands, secretary of the Free Trade
League of New York, appeared before them
in Washington to promote the cause of free
trade, and he has been consistent in his faith
until now. He is most earnestly supported
as free-trader by the free-trade Republic
cans of New York, with such intelligent or
gains as the Eccning Post and the Times de-
Tending their cause, and is it tho part Of
wisdom for Pennsylvania prOtectiOnists to
commit themselves and their cause to one
party and that party with n candidate who
is the choice of the most intelligent free
traders Of the countrya Is this the enter-
taininent TO which the business men OF Phila-
delplia mean to invite the protectionists of
Pennsylvania?
Is it not time for intelligent business men
to pause and take their latitude anew, before
they demand a party triumph for protection

The weakness OF GARFIELD.

The Republicans some time since found
out that Gen. Garicld's name is not one
with which to coniure. Never before has
President been nominated by either party OF
whom absolutely no political capital
could he made. No better evidence of the
merely formal and representative considera-
ton with which Gen. Garfield IL received by
his own party could have been given than
was afforded by an observation OF the pro-
cessoii, and of the crowds along the line OF
march on Monday night. There was cheer
ing for Grant, for Conkling, for Arthur, and
even for Blaine, but no one heard voice for
Garfield. Even if Cakes Amcs, Delolyer,
and the visiting statesmen were out of the
canvass the absence of enthusiasm for Gar
field would still be conspicuous. That man
should emancipate himself from such condi-
tions of life as Il "towpath hoy" and daily
artisan, or that he should work his way
through college and into profession, and so
into politics End public life, is one of the
commonest of incidents in American life. But
that such man should have been two years
in the Army during the Civil War and six
teen years in the American Congress and
constantly before the public as a debater and
leader without originating or participating
in an event that aroused any enthusiasm for
him, is an exceptional instance in American
political history. Garfield is dragged along
by his party on top of n platform OH which
are dozen figures more truly representative
than himself. What, then, is the defect in
his character! Clearly, it seems to us, it is
lack OF moral courage, and that 1t is de-
feet of which 40 president was ever accused
except Buchanan and which no public man
has ever succeeded in overcoming.-N. Y

The election in Maine was lesson and a
warning TO the managers of the Republican
party. II showed that States which they
regarded as certainly Republican might not
be Republican after nil. They saw Mt once
that work, unceasing work, and work every
where was indispensable 10 success. Aud
they have acted accordingly ever since.
The result of the elections on Tuesday in
Ohio and Indiana is similar lesson and n
like warning TO the managers OF tho Demo
cratic party. Harder work than has yet
been done is Indispensable TO Democratic
success in the end.
Not only harder work in the West, hut
more harmony in tho East is essential.
Every one recognizes how much depends
upon the vote of this State. Tho two great
Democratic strongholds in this State ave the
cities of New York and Brooklyn. And here
VIZ are almost upon the eve of the Presiden-
tial election, and there is not yet united
Democracy in either city!
There is Just one way TO unite the Dcmoc-
racy in these cities, and only one. That is
to nominate honest and competent candi-
dates for office, whose integrity and ability
cannot be questioned. IN. Y. SUI.

Hattie reposcd calmly,
There was a rumbling Of hack wheels close
TO the sidewalk, and then halt. But there
was no magnetism in the air to warn Hattie
Of any one being near her more than that
gentle, shadowy man whom she had tended
for so many years. Then footsteps in the

Even the seven sleepers awakened at last.
and when the door opened Hattie started TO

been otherwise than awake.
Then came n face, bronzcd fiery red, full
blue eyes, and altogether strange to Hattie
at least she had seen such in her dreams. A
mass of hair, beard mustache and whskcrs
of hue which was pale only beside the face.
All this surmounted figure huge in every
way, but especially in breadth.
Hattie stood wondering, and the figure
stood wondering also. Like the Ancient
Mariner, "hc fixed her with his glittcring
eye" and as he performed the operation he
drew off wrapping after wrapping, and at
! length stood confessed as jos Berthheld,
weighing at the very least calculation go
pounds.
Then the blue eyes danced with amusc-
incnt, the white teeth showed Themselves
and hearty, full, sonorous laugh broke the
| ice.
Hattie, do you know mel'' lie stepped
forward and kissed her, at first lightly on
the cheeks, and thcn, putting her head back,
with another glance and another laugh, he
followed up that kiss by many others, and
they came so fast nd warm that Hattie had
not really presence of mind TO resist.

"Speak tcnderly TO him, Joe. He is quite

Apparently this enchanted Joe, for he
rubbed his hands and tugged at his tawny
beard, and sat down and watched Hattie as
she poured out coffee for him, with the bright,
cheerful, and trusting look of twenty years
before.

TWO WRONGS DON'T MAKE A RIGHT


Our attention is called to the fact that a
census of South Carolina was taken in 1875
by order of the legislature, at that time re-
publican, and that growth was shown of
thirty-one per cent. in the five years from
1870 to 1875. We knew of the state census
of 1875, and we also know that it was so
grossly inaccurate and so palpably swollen
that the legislature refused to publish it,
and was only compelled by constitu-
tional provision to adopt its figures in redis-
tricting the state for legislative representa-
tives. There was but one opinion in regard
to it, and that was that it was carelessly
and generally fraudulently taken. The
enumeutors were mainly ignorant colored
men, who were paid so much per name.
The newspaper press Of the state de-
nounced the census as job aud IA fraud, the
republican daily UniOn-H of Columbia
being specially severe in its comments
upon the character of the returns. AS the
work of radical negroes it was ridiculed by
the democratic papers in every county. 1t
was denounced in the legislature rs worth

was defeated. The secretary of state in a
report 10 the legislature in regard to il spoke
in depreciation of the manner in which the
work had been performed. The superin-
tendent Of public education rejected it as
basis of school appropriations, and alto
gether it was as thorough fraud as we be-
lieve the present census of South Carolina
to be. South Carolina census suffers will
make nothing by comparing their work with
that of the ignorant and venal enumerators
of 1875. Two frauds will not make Just
basis Of representation.

BuLLINa SOUTHERN BONDS.

Those who are rejoicing in the success
Of the debt-paying wing Of the democratic
party in Tennessee, and who are predicting
n triumph of honesty at the polls as con.
sequence, had better restrain their expecta-
tions until some action has been taken more
satisfactory to holders of coupons than
party resolutions,
In 1876 the holders of the bonds of South
Carolina and Louisiana heard as sweet
songs from the democratic leaders in those
states as those now sung to the creditors oil
Tennessee. HAMPTON and NICHOLS paraded
themselves as the representatives of the
property and intelligence" of their states.
They pledged their honor and the honor of
their states to the bondholders that if they
were recognized and placed in power the
credit of their states in tho markets OF the
world would be rescued from the slough
into which it had been sunk by carpet-bag
mismanagement. The compromise with
its creditors made by South Carolina pre-
viOus to the election of 1876 was as solemply
ratified by the democratic party in its
conventions and by its candidates and
orators as it was possible to be done by
resolutions and spoken words. And the
money markets of the world believed the
South Carolina representatives of the demo-
cratic party then as it is ready to believe
those of Tennessee now. Bonds went up
from 60 to so upon the installation OF
HAMPTON, yet he was not warm in his seat
when the contract with the creditors was
repudiated, the money collected for interest
was devoted to other purposes, the receiv-
ability Of the coupons for taxes was abro-
gated, aud before tho work stopped more
than half Of the consolidated bonds were
declared to be null and void
In Louisiana the game was slyillfully
played to fleece Wall street and the foreign
creditors, while enriching ring Of demo-
cratic politicians Governor NICHOLS by
his fair speeches buled the bonds until his
friends uuloaded, and then the legislature

IN GOOD TIME

The organ thinks the census revelations
have come too late to help the republican
canvass. If the organ will wait until the
defrauded west speaks on the subject it will
be willing 10 admit that the discovery was
made in the nick of time. We believe the
result will be seen in the gain of enough
congressman to defeat the object of the
frauds. Even democratic congressman
from the west will refuse to allow their
states to be defrauded of their rightful
political power in order that the south may
add to its representation by stuGing the
census. Every representative in congress
and every elector gained by the south by
Illicit measures is stolen from the growing
west. The people Of that section, irrespec-
tive Of party, have pride in their strength
which will not submit to any unjust cur
tailment of its representation. The next
house of representatives will rip the veil
from the spurious records of the south with
no delicacy of touch. We predict that no
npportionment will be made until the sub
ject of census frauds has been thoroughly
sifted. The south has again stopped over
and thus furnished to the republicans the
very best kind of political issue.
The democratic organs will before long
concede that ii was introduced into the can.
vass in ample time to cook their goose.

CAMPAIGN CARTOONS.

MAST, in the last Harpey's Weekly, has
two suggestive cartoons connected with
current history. The first is, General
WEAVER, who has been experimenting po-
litically in the south and is represented
with grip-sacls filed with rag babies in one
hand and pNlm-leaf fan in the other and
with ass's head bowed down, plodding his
away northward in the midst Of the jeers
and taunts of skulking rebs, who seem to
be delighted at his discontinue. In the
background is tho inevitable ballot.box,
which is capable of any measure of fraud
This is now the political engine which
takes the place of the bulldozing shotgun
and defes all comers.
The second cartoon covers two pages
and is characterized as "the silent demo-
cratic majority" with the under remark
that General HANCOCK will miss them on
election day. The cartoon represents Cen
eral HANCOCK with herculean figure under
u pose Of deep contemplation, with head
bowed down and his eyes surveying n vast
field of confederate dead that lies at his
feet The chief head stone upon which his
gaze seemo to rest most intcutly bears this
inscription: Rebels killed in front Of
" General HANCoCK's line, Second corps,

taught by this cartoon is that General

A Suggestion to General walker.

To the Editor of The National Republican:
SIR: There is no doubt the people believe
great frauds have been practiced in tho census
in some of the southern states 80 great as to
demand the attention of General Walker for
their correction. He can easily ascertain
whether there have been frauds by tax
ing some agricultural district where the emu.
merators made their daily returns of the mum.
Der Of names taken and the number of hours
they were employed, and sending two good
trusty men to 90 over the ground again with
the ennmerators. If they find the people
there as enumerated it will settle the ques-
ton. If they are not there it will establish
the fraud. 1t is due TO the people who believe
there has been systematic fraud perpetrated
TO gain undue political power, due to the Sec
tion resting under suspicion and to the census
Office as a reliable gatheror Of statistics, that
prompt measures be taken for investigation.
