I l No, it won't do," as Colonel Ineersou l says. The workingmen of this country are | not going to be defrauded into voting for
 lower wages and British competition by any
 infamous forgery. If any workingman is in l doubt, let him go into quiet place, sit down by himself, and think seriously of these things:
 l. The Republican party was first formed by the free-labor workingmen of the North to protest against the encroachment of slavery, and it became from the first and has ever re- mained peculiarly their party, and the repre- sentative of their interests. It gave the coun- try Free Homes for all, Free Schools for all, and Protective Tariff.
 II. When the Republican party first asked power, it promised tariff to discriminate in favor of American industry. Within one month after it gained a majority in both houses of Congress it enacted such tariff. From that day to this it has constantly pledged itself to maintain, and has constant ly maintained, tariff for protection, the re- suits of which workingmen see when they compare wages here and in Europe.
 III. When the Democratic party was formed, it was inspired by the tariff-hating spirit of southern nullifiers, who had tried in South Carolina to break up the Union be- cause they could not defeat tariff for the encouragement of manufactures.
 IV In 1640, and in every other platform until after the war began, the Democratic party opposed protection, and demanded a tariff for revenue only. This demand it re- tad in a,,1 tariff as "a masterpiece of injustice" The same demands tariff for revenue only"- it makes again this year. Now, as at the be- ginning, it is the representative of the landed aristocracy of the South
 V. When the Republicans adopted the pro- tective tariff in 1861, every Democrat in Con gress except two voted against it. Every other bill passed, of the same nature, from 1861 to 1867, was opposed by nearly every Democrat. The Wood bill, an attempt to break down the present tariff, was supported only two years ago by 113 Democrats, and opposed by only nineteen.
 VI. General Garfield began life as la borer himself. and has risen by his own eff forts, never forgetting the free workingmen from whom he was chosen and whom he splendidly represents. His was the best speech made to defeat the Wood bill in 1878, and it was upon his motion that the bill was killed in spite of 113 Democratic votes
 VII. When the Democratic party pretends that it can be trusted to maintain the tariff, it asks you to disbeGeve all it's pledges and all its acts for forty years, and to believe that it is false to it's pledge made only three months ago. Is it not easier to believe that it's new professions and promises are false :? Parties do not change their character, four millions of voters do not change their real purpose, in single month.
 VIII. A majority for the Democratic party will do much of the harm that the worst acts of that party might do Men will expect the worst, and prepare for it by curtailing work or closing shops.
 TX. A majority for the Republican party will keep the prosperity we now have Four years more of safety will be assured When we well off, it is the part of sensible men to risk no change.
