readers
5 ]. The public school IS the creation and
choiceof the American people, and is es-
tablishedfor the education Of every child
in the Commonwealth.
II. AS the property Of the State is
pledged to the support Of the public
schools, and the school sustained by the
taxes of all the people, it is thereby made
free to all the children Of the country.
III. Every parent has an alienable
and uncontrovertible right to patronize
the public school, and has voice in
shaping its character and policy, which
are always dependant on the will Of the
majority.
~. No authority can rightfully inter
fere with the individual citizen in deter
mining the manner of the education Of
his children.
". Private education has right to be,
andIany citizen may educate his own chill
dren OF others, at lis own expense.
VI. In securing attendance on such in
structionb public or private, the rights of
conscience of the individual must ever3be
held inyiolable; and any nterferenceor any
attemptto control the action Of the indi-
vidual, except by legitimate influence, is
a blow at personal liberty and, indirectly,
at civil liberty.
VII. The public schools Of America
should holdkup and teach the highest
standard Of morals known to Christian
people, but any attempt by Church or
State, sect or party, TO Set up religious
educational tests or barsis contrary to our
Bill of Rights and our constitutional safe
guards.
VIII. ANY attempt to carry out on
American soil the educational mandates
Of any foreign power IS perversive of the
doctrine Of individual freedom, and trea-
sonable to the State.
*. The free public school has been, is,
and will continue, 2the great hope Of our
people and the safety of our Republic.
We invite discussion on any or all Of
these principles Of the American public
school.

WOSKINGMEN AND THE DEMO
CRATIC PARTY.

The Democratic party, from the date of
its organization under Jefferson, has been
the workingman's party. There is not on
all the pages of its shining history an act in
conflict with the Declaration. 1t is well said
by the Baltimore Gazette, that ''what the
Democracy was in the time of Jefferson it is
to-day-the determined foe of every species
of trickery, extravaganza and fraud. And
it is peculiarly the friend of the working
man, because, in enforcing economy in the
Government, it necessarily makes his
burdens lighter and increases his
chances of happiness. With an eff
frontery, however, of which they alone
are capable the Republican leaders, their
pockets filled with money obtained from
monopolists and rings of every kind, are
going about among the workingmen seeking
to convince them that their traditional enc
mics are after all their truest friends! Of
course, their only object is to deceive the
honest toilers of the country in order that
they may the more effectually plumber
them. While the workingmen groan and
sweat they will luxuriate as in the past on
their ill-gotten gains. In the meantime it
is necessary for them to wear the mask of
friendship to deceive labor with hone
falsehoods. The Democratic party, on
other hand, attempts no such impesture, bdt
points proudly to its record for nearly cen
fury as being all the guaranty needed for its
conduct in the future towsrd workingmen.
Its claim upon the support of business men
also is seen III the prosperity which has
made the waste places Of our land to bios
som like the rose, and which has whitened
with our ships the waters of every cline
But to all corruptionists, all rings, all PAM
pered monopolists, it is the determined and
relentless foe, and as such is the truest, the
most trusty friend that the toiling masses
could have" Such facts, which defy
successful contradiction, are worthy
of the consideration of working
men throughout the country. The
Democratic party treats workingmen as
men of intelligence, capable of deciding for
themSelves in the exercise of their right of
franchise, and leaves them free to do their
own voting and their own thinking without
intimidation. 1t is not so with the Repub-
lican party In the recent election in In
diana workingmen were intimidated and
voted under duress, and instances are known
where they paid the penalty of loss of en-
ployment for asserting their rights of citizen
ship at the polls In one Republican organ
ization said to made up chiefly of working
men, the members are required to take
an oath to vote the Republican
ticket and degrade themselves to the
level of serfs. The Democratic party
offers no such insults to workingmen. 1t
infiicts no penalties upon opinions. 1t
simply invites workingmen, as it does other
citizens, to look at the record of the party in
Che past as the surest guarantee of its future
policy with regard to the peace and pros
perity of the country, feeling assured that
in the end it will triumph.

THE union forces of Maine are determined
and confident of holding that State up TO its
glorious September record.
The recent meeting of the leaders of the
party at Augusta was indicative of purpose
TO push the fight of the united hosts of the
September victors vigorously to the end.
There is no thought of encouragement or
dependency in Maine. and the plain, square
fact is that the practice of the highest wisdom
and patriotism elsewhere would even yet
bring together a union of the same forces
here in Indiana. thereby rendering dOti5ly
certain the defeat of the Garfield-sherman
conspirators against the peoples greenback
and silver dollars, and the best interest Of
the masses generally.

read them. He states the positions of the
two parties, and / believe he states them
substantially correct. As | recollect ii, at
any rate it is this: Democrats are not in
favor of free trade, but they are in favor
of tariff for revenue purposes, and such a
tariff affords all the protection that any
manufacturing interest ought to ask or re-
quire. Republicans, on the other hand, favor
tariff for protection. That is the differ
ence between the two parties.
Now, Mr.. Sherman, in stating what the
Republicans want, says I'VE Republicans
say that we are in favor of a tariff which,
while it would yield sufficient revenue to
carry on the operations of the Government,
it will also so foster and protect our indus
tries as to make us a great manufacturing
and commercial as well as agricultural peo-
pie. That is our idea. Why should not
this be done? When they levy a tax on the
article that you consume, why should they
also not levy an equal tax on the article that
you produce?"
That is Just the objection. You see it
when you levy tax on the articles that you
procure from aDTOdu. WY SnOuiu nOt gOu

Why, because the tax that is levied on those
you produce goes into the hands of the man.

you import from abroad goes into the Treasury
for revenue. Do you want to be taxed when
you buy hat, or a coat, or blanket, or a
pair of shoes, to pay the manufacturer a
bounty2 You are willing TO be taxed on
the importation, because you have 10 pay a
tax in some shape to support the Govern

ing tax upon all these articles, so far as is
necessary, to raise revenue for the Gov
eminent but they are not willing to levy a
tax for the purpose of protecting the man
who makes the blanket and the coat
simply. This is a tangible idea The tax
is really on the large family instead of on
the large fortune. We do not believe in
levying tax on the great body of the peo-
pie for the purpose of benefiting few men
who are manufacturers. 1t will not break
down manufacturing establishment; they
will have all the protection they want to

theless it may be fairly concluded from
these figures that, while Russia's export to
England has rem1ined stationary dur
ing the last twelve years. ours has more
than doubled-a fact which sufficiently
demonstrates the inability of Russia to COM
pete with the United States in the foreign
markets" The demand for foreign wheat
in England is yearly increasing, and to the
United States she must look for supplies.
''The reasons why Russia has failed
to respond to this increased ex-
port market are" says a contemporary,
"a matter of no small interest to the grain
trade of the world which has been accus-
toned to look to her as the chief source for
supplying European deficiencies. The
causes for this are mainly in the internal
condition of Russia, and have much to do
with the deep discomfort that now permeates
the Empire. Wars, conscription, enormous
ornaments and the heavy taxation that in
evitably follow political extravaganza have
borne with terrible pressure on the agricul-
tural classes of that country. The back
wardness of civilization has prevented her
farmers from availing themselves of the
improved methods of cultivation which
have cheapened the production and handling
of grain in this and other countries while
the farmers, as a rule, are too poor to secure
them or too dull to use them. The methods
of carrying grain to the seaboard and of
handling at the ports, are still slow and
costly; while, in this country, expedition
and cheapness have been secured by inven-
ton and competition" Such facts are well
calculated to attract the attention of wheat
growers of the United States, as they show
very conclusively that there will be a de-
mand for all our surplus at remunerative

General Garaeld's Free Trade Votes.
EVANSVILLE, October Is, l

TO the Editor of the Evansville Courier:
That the tens of thousands of men and
women WHO are employed in the great in
dustrial establishments of manufacturing
textile fabrics of both cotton and WOOL sep
arate and mixed, and also to the tens upon
tens of thousands of men who work in iron
in its various forms, that the candidate for
the Presidency the Republican ticket,
James A. Garfield, gave four votes while i'm
Congress in the direction of free trade, which
was so we'll received in England that he was
elected a member in 1869 of the Golden
Club in London, British free trade organi-
zation.
In 1864 he voted to reduce the duty on
foreign railroad iron.
In 1870 he voted for the reduction of the
duty on pig iron from 50 to 81 per ton
In 1871 he voted for abolishing the duties
on foreign coal.
In 1872 he voted again for the further re-
duction of duties on all iron and steel, and
on the manufactures of iron and steel
"In the debates of Congress may be seen
utterances of his at different times in favor
of the theory of free trade, which shall not
pause TO quote"
The men engaged in the industries which
| the present tariff for revenue protects. who
read and know that General Hancock, the
Democratic candidate fol the Presi-
dency, is all right for their inter
satisfied not to experiment by casting vote
| for Mr.. Garfield, whose well-known free
trade proclivities leaped the ocean and
caused him TO be elected a member of Cob
denis Free Trade London Club. GEN
| eral Hancock is a Pennsylvania, and
| was raised amidst the great iron
interests, and his early education
surroundin and sympathies are all
with the great local interests of the
| gallant Keystone people. He says he
will let the tariff alone. As long as the
4 United States Government is heavily in
debt and raises money by import duties,
it will be compelled to protect quite
a number of industries, and the only way
| that gradual and moderate change can be
brought about is to pay the National debt
as soon as possible, which is in accord with
General Hancock's views. The writer is
somewhat in favor of Garheld's free trade
rates-but modified; he would like the duty
lowered on paper, so that school books
would not be higher-priced than they were
forty years ago. Pennsylvania's fayorite,
gallant, illustrious son, General Hancock,
is all right for the interests
of her people, and the millions who
work in the iron and textile fabrics through
out the country. The Republican poll
ticians, knowing the free-trade votes of Gar
field in Congress, are trying to make the
/ laboring Democrats believe that Hancock. and
not Garfield, has free-trade record, whereas
General Hancock never was in Congress, but
they know Garfield was, and while there

WADE HAMPTON AND JOHN SHER
MAN,

Whatever may be said of Wade Hampton,
he is not Ku Klux Khan cut-throat; as a
Rebel Brigadier, he was less conspicuous
than Longstreet, who is now a representa-
tive Republican. When John Sherman
intimated that Wade Hampton was men,
Der of the Ku KIux Khan, he was guilty of
uttering falsehood Wade Hampton, in
calling Shermans attention to the charge,
did nothing unseemly. He outraged none
of the recognized proprietIes of society, and
when Mr.. Sherman exhibited himself as
wanting in that courage which distinguishes
gentlemen from poltroons, Mr.. Hamp-
ton promptly and prudently deEbunced
him. Medill, of the Chicago Tribune. a
Republican, in dealing with John Sherman
developed vast amount of what the Repub-
lican press is pleased to call plantation
manners" far more than Mr.. Hampton has
exhibited. Indeed, Mr.. Hampton is digni-
fed. He tells John Sherman that he is
deliberate falsifier, gives him his address, and
lets the matter drow just there.
