Election, Tuesday, October I:

and the people who get their daily bread
by them, arrive. The only help then for
our home industrial interests, to avoid
the widespread ruin. not alone contem-
plated, but thus directly avowed by the
Democratic party as part of their pol
icy, is to remit their Presidential and
Congressional candidates to private life.
Another very instructive vote was
that which was cast in the House, De-
cember l, 1877, than which nothing
could more forcibly prove the real antas-
Onism of the Democratic leaders to the
the artisan. the mechanic, and the la
borer, and their dislike of that system of
protection which the Republican party
has always afforded to the American
workingman, by protecting the manu-
featuring interests which employ him,
against the foreign manufacturer. At
this date, upon resolution offered by
Mr.. Mills, a Democrat, instructing the
Committee on Ways and Means "to II
wise the tariff as to make it purely and
solely tariff for revenue" and not for
protection, the vote stood: yeas, 81;
nays, IS. Of the 81 yeas, 60 were Dem
Ocratic, and only Z Republican. OF the
76 nays "a were Republican, and only
II Democratic.

POETRY.
The Tive Sat Down.

Two sat down in the morning time,
One to sing and one to spin.
All the men listened to the song sublime,
But no one listened to the dull wheefs
din.
The singer she sat in pleasant nook, i.
And sang of life that was fair and
sweet,
While the spinner sat with steadfast
look,
Busily plying her hands and feet.
The singer sang on with rose in her
hair,
All the men listened to her sweet tone
And tie spinner spun on with dull
despair
Down in her heart as she sat alone.
But 10! on the morrow no one said
Aught of the singer or what she sang
Men were saying, Behold this threadP
And loud the praise of the spinner
rang.
The world has forgotten the singers
name
Her rose is fadei, her songs are old;
But far DER the ocean the spinners fame
Yet is blaz0ned in lines of gold.

limit of age at which Judges may retire,
will, during the next four years, vacate
at least four seats OH the Supreme
Bench. These four appointments will
decide the political complexion of the

Democracy fill them?" Let any man

Democratic party, "just to see what it
will do when it gets in power" consider
that question.
