Revenue" Tariffs mean the depreciation of
labor, and reduction of rates to European
standards
Protective Tariffs mean the improvement
and elevation of labor. and the maintenance
of living prices for the artisans of the country.
The Wood Tariff bill-brought to vote in
June, 1878, in the House of Representatives
proposed to reduce duties an average of
fifteen per cent! 1t was defeated June s, 1878,
by vote OF 100 to 134. OF those in favor Of
the bill, 113 were Democrats and but Repub-
licans
Let the workingmen remember who propose
to reduce their wages and to put them In COM
petition with the half-starved labor of Europe.

The Democrats and the Laboring

Man.
The leaders of the Democracy industri-
ously advertise that party as the friend of
the laboring man. Every four years they
"bill' the country, and put out posters
promising great satisfaction to all who come
into their tent. 1t will be noticed that they
do not call attention to the triumphs of pre-
vious trips, but dwell upon the novel attrac-
tions offered by the great show this season,
They are always going to do something
for the poor man. What have they ever
done for him? What. ever did they do while
they were in power? They held four mil
lions of black men in bondage. They shut
out the white man from the acres of the
West. The homestead act giving farms and
homes and promising prospect to Eastern
emigrants, passed by Republican votes, was
vetoed by a Democratic President. They
have done nothing for the poor man. They
have done evil things to him. And in that
doing they propose to keep right along. In
their latest national convention, held last
June, they declared for revenue tariff-a
tarl11 Wnlcn, II adopted, would close half the
workshops in the country and beggar thou
sands of men. Thatis the Democratic idea
OF aid to the laborer. The Elysium they
have prepared for him is the poor-house-
and for the life of them they cannot see why
he should not be contented there. Isn't he
housed and fed? Isn't he as well off as the
average Englishman? Didn't the Democra-
cy in the good old days whose passage it de-
plores, show paternal care for millions of
people? Looking back to its record, it points
with pride to The negro cabins of the South.
Looking forward, it points to mills
and factories and invites the workingmen to
assist it in shutting them up, shouting lus-
tily all the while til It it is the true and
only friend of the laboring man.

Do working men want to toll for the misera-
BILE wages paid in the Old World? If not, let
them vote to defend the Protective Tariff. In
the Southern States the black working man
gets IS month and ration Of a peck Of corn
meal and three pounds of bacon week. Per-
haps the Southern politicians who control the
Democratic party would like to bring the
white working man of the North down to
these wages. The white working man will.

LET it be remembered that the Northern
Democracy is entirely under the control of
the Southern wing of that party. They have
always followed the lead of the Southern
men and always must as long as the party is
made up as it is now. The South is solid
for free trade and low wages and is only
waiting for a. opportunity to put its views
on the statute book. The few Northern
Democrats who might protest, will be abso
lutely powerless to accomplish anything.

Democratic Nastiness.

The Democratic party has finally succeed
ed in eliminating everything from its cam
paign but nastiness. On this alone it is
relying to seat Hancock in the Presidential
chair Having deserted all its principles
and abandoned all its traditions it has. fall
len back upon filth. OF that kind OF wean-
ons 1t has an arsenal full and its proficiency
in handling them is wonderful
During the remaining days of the cam
pagn we may expect to see just as many of
these weapons brought INTO use as the limited
time will allow. The 800 episode and the
Chinese letter forgery have given the coun-
try taste OF their quality. Those remaining
to be used viii be as vile as those already
employed. The National Committee is de-
voting all its energies to the manufacture of
roerbacks, trusting that in the short time
left before election it will be impossible to
refute them. This morning one is to ap-
pear in the shape of charge that Chairman
Jewell of the National Republican Commit
tee attempted to bribe Josh Hart to admit
the spuriousness of the Chinese letter.
Luckily the PRESS is able to nail this lie by
the testimony Of distinguished ex-Judge of
New York whom this disreputable Hart
charged was to be the ge-between in this
business. Quite likely there will be other
lies which there viii not be time or
opportunity to refute. 1t can be safely as
s,lmed that all charges affecting the Repub-
liean candidates or Republican managers
at this stage of the canvass are false.
They are simply cries Of despair which the
Democrats are uttering on the eve of defeat.

THE New York Tablet, Roman Catholic
paper of Democratic tendencies, says, in its
issue of this week: s'The astounding result
of the elections in Indiana and Ohio has
demonstrated two things, namely, that the
people are ahead of the politicians, and
that the Irish have smashed the traces that
fettered them to the party machine.
We do not advise them to vote the Republi-
can, the Democratic, or the Greenback
ticket; far be it from us to attempt to dictate
to any one how to vote, but we repeat what
we have before asserted, namely that until
the Irish vote Independently of party dicta-
tion and party leaders they will never COM
mand that respect and attention in Ameri-
can politics to which their numbers and IN
telligence entitle them.''

REPUBLICANS must be prepared to meet

which gives promise of advantage however
slight. As will be seen by our local page
they are circulating spurious electoral tick
cts cunningly contrived to defeat Repub-

feat their scheme by having at every polling
place corps of well known Republicans to
take charge of the distribution of tickets
But this is not sufficient. Every elector
should examine his ticket personally and do
it critically. Look.at every word and every

ticket published in the PRESS this morning.

CONGRESSMAN Randolph Tucker, OF Vir-
ginia, in the course of an elaborate argument
for free trade, made in Congress on May s,
1878, said: ''Great Britain opens her arms
to our products; we close our doors against
hers. Now, what a market for our raw ma
terial, for our products, if we would only
take the hand which Great Britain extends
for free trade between u.s." That is sound
Democratic doctrine. That is what the sol
id South and its ally, the Northern Demo-
cratic party, believe. How does it strike the
Irish laborer and the American laborer? Do
they wish to extend their hands for free
trade and exchange their wages for British

The Independent must be passing
through frightfll and yet novel ex-
perience.' What of its available space
not used in giving persons who have
stopped their paper particular fits"
is tOlerably we'll filed with blowing
about its wonderful increase in circula-
ton. This innocent amusement harms
nobody and of course does its publish
er "a power of good" But when its
publisher descends into the low black
guard, and maliciously aims to injure
the character and business of q firm
whose only wrong doing, in his eyes,
is refusal to throw away money in
attempting to advertise in a paper of
comparatively small circulation, and
that in localities where no customers
can be expected, it is time q halt was
called. The firm assailed are old resi-
dents of our county, although not of
our own locality. They are energetic
wide-awake young men and are,
and have been, and do yet, advertise
literally. Their character as men
stand forth in bright colors. They
know how to run their own business
and in that, ARE far ahead of the Inde-
pendent man. The contemplate at
tack of the Independent upon these
gentleman Ito whom as new men
among us, every courtesy should be
shown) is too silly for them to notice.
And we but reflect the sentiment of
the entire community in saying that
they have our whole respect and es-
TEEN. They ask a fair trial and will
prove their worth by past, present and
future conduct. For the community
(which is in no way responsibility we
apologize to them for the contempti-
bic attack in the Independent. And
can further assure them that its fear
ful influence is not particularly to be
feared.
