Starving Ireland.
il2er.

Judge Morrison, who is an irish
nan, delivered telling speech in
Cincinnati on the tariff question.
Among other things said by him
were the following: "There are two
parties in this country, one Of then,
actually in favor Of free trade, the
other in favor of protecting the in
dustries of America against all the
world. The speaker, while born in a.
foreign country, considers himself an
American, and as an American he
was prOtectionists. The Democratic
party is the party favoring fro e trade
or. as that party has declared, in IA.
vor of a tariff for revenue only. IN
der the tariff system of the Reuubii
can party S190,000,00O annually is
paid on goods imported to this
country by Great Britain, Germany,
France and other countries. Take
this tariff of and we will have to go
down in our pockets and pay this
great sum to the Government our
selves for the army and navy, and
other branches Of our Government
must be maintained. The speaker
then spoke at some length regarding
the rise of free trade doctrine in Eng
land and Belgium, ard the low
wages paid in those countries, and he
said the only way for the working
men of this country to prevent their
reduction to the plane Of the work
ingmen Of England or Belgium was
to takea firm stand by the principles
of the Republican party. He then
went on to say that the tariff was
adopted in the days of Washington
and had ever since been the principal
source of revenue to the country.
Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jack
son, anu all those Democratic lights
of other days. by whom the Demo
Gratis swear to day, were protection
lists, and can anyone tell why that
party to day has departed so far from
the principles of the founders of that
party? The doctrine of free trade
was the most pernicious of the way.
AS an example the speaker referred
to his native Ireland, saying that in
1852 the Irish Pertinent created
tariff. The result was that for twenty
years ireland was the most prosper.
Gus country on the face of the globe,
but England, jealous of Ireland's
growing prosperity, forced free trade
upon that country, and the result
every one knows. In 1880. with pro
lection, the most prosperous country
of Europe; in 1917 and 1879 with
free trade, starvation, suffering and
death.
If any man is so strongly attached
to the Democratic party that he can
not vote to protect his own interests,
that man ii fit for nothing but to be a
Democrat. The speaker said if the
Republican party were to abandon
its stand upon this question to NOR
row, he would cease to be Republi
car. The tariff cannot be abolished
without running the country, and the
speaker could not see how any man
could vote for a party which adVoca-
ted that course.

The Democratic meeting at Oak
land Saturday last came very near
beingan entire failure. The Oakland
Cornet Band was employed to drum
up the faithful to the court house.
After playing several airs there,
without any show of crowd, they
were ordered to Dailey's hotel,
where the Democracy succeeded in
getting together about fifty people.

Colonel Ingersoll on Hancock's Pledge
ON a recent speech in Illinois.


E'rom a recent speech in Illinois.
He certifies to the American peo-
pie that he will veto any law that
the party may pass for the payment
If Southern claims. How did he eyer
come to suspect that his party would
pass such law? Laughter and pro
longel applause. Garfield has writ
ten no letter that he will veto law
to pay Southern claims. 1t is not
little strange that the candidate has
to certify to his party. Laughter
and cheers. AS rule, in this coun
try, the party has always certified to
the candidate. Applause. If Gen
eral Garfield weuId certify that he
would veto certain law if it was
passed by the Republican party, the
whole party would feel insulted.
Cries of III ear !" "Hear - and loud
applause. We would say to him !:
1--WE will take care of ourselves ;
when you become President exercise
your power as in your discretion you
believe you ought. but do not certify
to the moral character Of the Rppub>
lican party" Applause. Why did
| Hancock think it necessary to certify
to their character? Because he knew
it is bad. Laughter. He really
thought the American people had
more confidence in him than in the
Democratic party for that reason he
steps to the front and says To the

Swindlina Scanlps.

The Northern and Western cities
are filed with shysters who
make fat livings by robbing the
Southern people. These scoundrels
advertise largely in the country
papers, where they al find "rural
ROSTERS green enough to trust
them for six months or a quarter,
and the "woods is full' of such pub
fishers. They propose to send an
electric belt, a lung pad, a specific
for indiscreet youth, a liniment,
cough medicine or liver d@ecoetion
for the small sum of one lonely dol
lar. Some Southern dupe will
swallow the bait, send the dollar and
never hear from the fraud.
There is located at 204 Washing
ton street, Chicago, an old thief by
the name Of DR.. S. Whittier, who
has for several years carried on his
nefarious practice of swindling the
fools who were so ignorant as to
send him money. There is, per

men, many Of whom sigh because
their occupation will soon be gone,

Many members Of Congress are
more at home in Washington than
in their districts. Gen. Garfield.
for instance, has lived longer in
Washington than ia his Ohio home.
He has n plain, elegant brick house
on the corner Of 18Th and / streets,
facing Franklin Park. Secretary
Sherman's and Ex-Secretary Robe
sons palatial homes look out upon
the same beautiful park. Two
squares from the park are the win
ter habitations OF Senator Blaine
and Fernando Wood. Senator Thur.
mans plain transformations home is
close by. That he will not occupy
his Washington honse, or rather
his place in the Senate afteI the 4th
OF March next, is seriously regret
ted by thinking and intelligent
Democrats. 1t is believed, in politi-
cal circles, that the present session
will be one Of unusual interest, and
an extra Congressional session will
be called Immediately after the 4th
of March, when n struggle foi the
organization of the Senate will be-
gin. After the Senate has been CT.

We must crave the Indulgence Of
the public till we can get our office
in working order. About halfof our
type was pied during the night Of
the fire, and we have been unable,
up to date, to get it all cleaned up.
Almost every advertisement in the

taken a great deal Of time and pa
thence to fix them up. Many Of them
are still pied, and some we have
been compelled to omit for a few
weeks. We hope to have all the ma

days. 1t takes time to clean up a
pied office, and we are doing it as
fast as possible. The real damages
sustained by The LEDGER will not
fall far short of $500. We had just

had not more than got it in its

Chalmers or Lynch.

The writer of this has recently
returned from some of the Northern
States. Every Republican paper he
saw while there was discussing the
Congressional election in the Shoe
String District of Mississippi. The
editors of the Northern papers pre-
tend to know more about the cleo
ton in that district than the people
of this State. The articles of the
vicksburg Herald, in regard to the
votes counted and thrown out, have
been copied and commented on by a
solid Republican press; and have
formed the texts for some of the
bttterest and most vindictive cdito-
rails even written about the South
or its people. The action of the
supervisors OF election, in throwing
out votes because they did not con
form to the statute, is cited as an
other case of Southern b%ulldozing
and d~isloyalty to the amendments.
Republican editors Will not look at
The law governing the use. They
are constantly harping about
the lawleSsness Of II people, 'but
when men, taken from both parties,
and sworn to obey the law, refuse
to count votes prepared contrary to
the statute, these fanatics raise
their hands IN holy horror and cry

ing the election in Chalmers dis
trict. They are never satisfied I'M
less they are publishing something
against the South.
Whether Chalmers or Lynch was
elected. we know not, and it makes
no difference. as it is already ar
ranged that the next Congress will
seat Lynch. The Republican pa
pers have paved the way for that
result. The case has been pre-.

cessity for it, and the result ha:
been and will continue to be bad
But, it is a law, and until repealed
