fully to assail him ever since the campaign be-

The Power Behind Hancock.

The following extract from letter wait
ten by young gentleman in New York to
bis father in this city, illustrates the pol it'll
ca! position of manv men, and is very sug-
gestive. The writer was gallant officer of
the Union army, and his military feeling led
him to support Hancock at the outset of the
campaign. But later observation of the ten
denotes of the Democratic party and the eff
feet on the property of the Nation of Dem
ocratic success has caused him not only to
cease from support of Hancock, butto take
hold actively in aid of the Republican ticket.
He says:
There is great deal Of anxiety here among
business men, capitalists and manufacturers.
and am disgusted with the Democracy. Han
COCKS letters have hurt HIM very much. They
are weak and tend to show that on the finance
and tariff question he holds no decided opin-
ions and will be governed by his party AL

tam circumstances he would make a good

resents everything opposed to education and

That Forgery.
A Lie Well Nailed.

The Democratic managers, realizing that
their party is to be overwhelmingly defeated
next week, are now doing their best to have it
also hopelessly disgraced 1t is not extrava-
CANT to affirm that the history of politics since
the foundation of our Government, furnishes
no example Of mean and mendacious trickery
that equals the attempt now made by William
Fl. Barnum, chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, and his satellites, to impose
upon the American people and injure General
Garfield by means of plain end palpable for
gerry.
We do not forget that something is to be
pardoned to party in whose face ignominious
defeat is staring. But attributing this clumsy
forged letter ON the Chinese question to GEN
eral Garfield in the face of proofs strong as ho-
y writ that it is forgery, is absolutely unpar-
donable. 1t is a piece of shameless scoundrel-
ism pure and simple, which ought forever to
cover with infamy all who are engaged in pro-
noting it. We have said that this
letter was clumsy forgery and
we challenge any fair and intelligent man to
come to any other conclusion. The proof that
it is such amounts to demonstration Con-
slider the following facts:
1st. The letter is addressed to fictitious
man IN care Of an organization that neuer en-
listed. The address is II. L. Morey, Employ
ers' Union, Lynn, Mass. Is there any such
man as Morey? The postmaster of Lynn
writes: II have questioned clerks and car
riors at the Office No such man as H. l.. Mo-
rey ever received letters to their knowledge.
His name is not in the city directory or on the
post office or carriers books" The EN-
ployers Union, on equally good authority, is
shown To be equally mythical. The Boston
Herald) an independent paper) states that ill.,
terviews with prominent Lynn manufactur-
ers uf all shades ot politics substantiated the
statement that no such organization as the
Employers Union ever existed in Lynn.

letter did not come INTO use ut the washington

which, but 1t Is one Of the two, while neither

lated. The wretch who wrote the letter, real

The Richmond, Virginia, Whig, has fits
of good sense sometimes 1t had one the
other day, and before getting overit said the
followi g: ''It is too plain for argument
that if northera Republicanism. attests a
lodged enmity against the South, then in
like manner southern Democracy evinces
detestation of the North; and it is further
self-evldent that as the expression Of south
ern Democracy is stronger and more EN-,
phatic than that of the northern Republi-
canism, so, if these expressions dicate the
feelings of each section to the other, the
South is convicted of the greater degree of
bitterness. Contrast northern elections
with southern. Look at Maize, Indiana
and even Ohio. Ay-look at every one of
the northern States and compare their Re-
publican majorities with the Democratic
majorities in the southern States.'

BosToN Herald: You must lift your eyes
and reform your tactics, Messrs. Managers
for the Democrats, if you expect to have
even chance of winning the Presidential
prize. This camp aign is not to be decided
by certified roorbacks connecting Gen. Gar
field with cheap Chinese labor, nor by dark
disclosures charging Chairman Jewell with
sending Goals TO Newcastle. The Democrats
must. abandon their roorbacks and panicky
outcrles, and give the country some good
reason for entrusting them with power if
they don't want to be hooted off the field.
The employment of stupid forgeries like the
Lynn letter, or boomerangs like the Florida
dispatches that have just laid "brother Bar
mum" on his back, amid the outlaws of
Chairman Jewell, is sign of weakness or a
proof of incompetency.

sLet it be remembered that
twenty-five per cent. Of ali the la
boring people of the country are
artisans engaged in manufac-
lures. Their culture has been

their pursuits, and the skill which
they have developed, that pro-
duced the glory Of our CenetnniaI
Exhibition. To them the country
owes the splendOr of the position
1t holds before the world more
than 10 any other equal number
OF our citizens. If this bill,

comes a law, it strikes down their
occupation, and throws into the
keenest distress the brightest and

Under a Misapprehension.


Cadmus, who invented letters lin which
respect Mr.. Barnum of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee is like him) threw stone
at the crop of the ragon's teeth he had
himself "raised', and thereupon each of the
little men turned upon his Deighbor and
accused him of assault and, constituting
himself police court, promptly sentenced
and punished the offender. The result was
failure of crops. The most of the dracon-
igenB were slain and the survivors taken
into camp by Cadmus who kirdly taught
them their letters-genuine, not forged.
The Democrats are i, like fix. They
are punching each others heads because of
the revenue tariff plank in the Cincinnati
platform, and each accuses the other of
throwing that stone. But the fact is no one
OF them is to blame. The inventor of their
party, the Democratic Cadmus, is RESPONSE
BILE for the mischief. The Democracy was
constituted in the interests of free trade.
That was what the organization was got up
for. All that the members of the Cincinna-
ii committee on resolutions did was to read
the creed OF the party and boil it down. Ev-
er since 1923 the Democrats have been in
favor of tariff for revenue only. As late
as 1876 they said, "We demand that all Gus
tom house taxation shall be only for reve-
nue." What Henry Watt rson did
was in the line of his journalistic
training. he condensed the diffuse
expression of 1876 into the terse declaration
of 1880, "a tariff for revenue only" But he
is not responsible for the free trade doc
tri'e. He did not impose that fallacy npon
the Democracy. he found it in their pro-
fession of faith and condensed it into an
epigram. The inventor of it and them,
their Cadmus. is responsible for the row in
their ranks. He is the man who cast the
first stone. They should cease abusing
each other and put the blame where it
belongs.

Protection and independence.

Take the silk manufacture in this country

of the product is $4,000, 600; there are Is, ,oCo

only made possible by protective tariff; it has
been built up by that, and it could not yet ex-
