The Republican State Commit
tee Meet, and Decide to Push
the Canvass.

RICHMOND, Va, October IA meet
ing OF the Republican state Executive
Committee was held to-day, and 1t Is
understood that arrangements were per-
fected for pushing the canvass. An ei'
fort has been and is still being made to
secure the withdrawal Of the Republican
candidates for Congress in all OF the dis.
tricts, except Norfolk. Petersburg and
Mr.. Beadle's, and to throw the infiu.
ence and support OF the party to the
Resdius.er candidate. The committee,
however, is not likely to listen to any
such proposition. None OF the thinking
and frank Republicans have any idea
that they stand tine ghost OF a show OF
carving the State, even with two DEM
ocratic tickets in the field.

DEM ocRATIC PLATFoRM FOR 1854 tari6
for REVENUE ONLY.
If our people were content to receive the
wages that are paid abroad, il they were will
ing to accept the scaut comforts and squalid
surroundings of European working-men and
their families it is possible that protection
might be abandoned and our manufactures
still live; but they will not be content with
such rev ards for their labor, nor would it be
for the best interests of society and the Nation
that they should be. A reduction of
duties at this time would not only still further
reduce the wages of labor, but would cause
the stoppage of industrial establishments in
every State of the Union. ~

THE TARIFF QUESTION.
How It Affects Working Men
and Business Men.

The country has now been living for twenty
years under tariff system adopted by the Re-
publican party in Congress, the ground princi-
pie of which is to protect American labor and
American enterprise against ruinous competi-
tion from the cheap labor and immense accu-
mulated capital of Europe. This system has
greatly benefited the industries of the country.
Our manufacturing interests have vastly in
creased in magnitude since 1t was adopted,
and have broadened their field of operation SO
as to take in almost every article needed by
civilized people. Hundreds of thriving towns
have sprung up where there was nothing but
open country in 1860, and old haltdead vii
lagos have become prosperous cities, teeming
with busy population. The whole land,
from Maine to the Far West, is dotted with
shops and factories which would never have
been built If our laws had not levied duty
upon foreign goods. The wages of labor are
from 30 to 100 per cent. higher than they were
before the protective system was adopted. At
the same time the farmers, who have a home
market for their products in the cities and
manufacturing towns, are getting far better
prices than they got twenty years ago, and are
consequently in much easier circumstances.
in word, the whole country is thriving and
growing under the application of this Republi-
can protective legislation.
SWEEPING CHANGE PROPOSED
Now the Democrats give notice in their
platform that If they get into power they will
sweep away this entire protective system, and
put in its place "a tariff for revenue only"
This plank was put in their platform at the
demand of the South, which has always been
hostile to protection. The South has no manu-
factories to speak Of The manufacturing in
terests of New Jersey or Connecticut alone are
far greater than those Of the entire region from
the Potomac to the Rio Grande There are
Single cities in those States which manufac-
ture now more than all the cotton States COM
biEed. The South wants to sell it's cotton
hemp and tobacco for the highest price it can
get. and buy in European markets the goods
it needs at the lowest prices; and it wants to
import those goods at nominal rates of duty
Its true interest is to build up factories at
home, but it is too preiudiced and short-sighted
to see this. The Western Democracy always
acts with the South, and these two elements
OF the Democratic party immensely preponder-
ate over the Eastern Democracy which is in
part favorable to protection. The OBJ ections

He Wanted a Change

The compensation the Union men received
for their magnanimity at the close OF the war,
and the reward awaiting further generosity
In surrendering to the ex-rebels the govern
ment on demand for change, is illustrated
by story that the Mosems tell about Jonah.
When Jonah dissmbarked from the whale
he climbed up on the bank and sat down un-
der juniper tree to dry off. There was a
blind man, a beggar, sitting there who, when
he was aware of the presence of the prophet
Jonah, besought him to pray the Lord that his
sight might be restored And Jonah, wanting
to oblige him, prayed the Lord, and the man
received back his sight.
The beggar was eating dates at the time and
as soon as he got his eyes open and could see
he began to snap the date stones at Jonah
Now Jonah's skin was tender from having
been 50 long inside the whale, and the stones
hurt him very much. And he cried out,
"oh, Lord! how is this?'
And the Lord said, "Jonah you were not sat
Isted to leave things as they were. as had Or
dered them, and now you must take the copse-
quences"

Where Is the Missing Despatch?

New York Post
On the Sth of October Chairman Jewell
sent the following telegraphic despath to Col
lector F. W. Wicker, of Key West, Florida:
"Mallory's steamer of last week had two or three
hundred workmen for some railroad. Looks to ma
as though they were sent to Key West to vote."
This despatch explains the later despatch,
that of the 18th of October, saving that speci-
fed nambers of men had sailed on specified
steamships. 1t shows clearly that Mr. Jewell
referred to suspected neutrality-suspicious.
rightly or wrongly suspected is not now the
question-of the Democrats. The despatch of
the Sth of October is the key to the whole tele-
graphic correspondence. No man with the
Sth Of October despatch before him could
doubt for moment what the 10Th of October
despatch meant.
We understand that the Sth of October de-.
spatch is missing. Where is it? We under
stand that while "relay" copy of it is on file in
the office OF the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany, and while the fact that it was forwarded
is further proved by its repetition at the other
end OF the route, the original cannot be found
in the company's office We understand that
it cannot be found in Mr.. Jewell's office.
Where is it? Is it in Mr.. Barnum's posses-
sion? Was it sent to him "accidentailv''
with the despatch of the 18th of October.
which he made haste to publish? IT the first
despatch was so sent, if Mr.. Barnum sup
pressed it so as to give an erroneous impression
OF the meaning of the second despatch, then it
is demonstrated not only that he dishonorably
used the second despatch to circulate a false
and injurious report, but that he knew, when
he circulated it, that the report was false
hood.

That Forged Letter.
The New York Sun" on Barnum.


IN. Y. SUM
We do not read anywhere in the New Tes
lament that mans conduct as man and his
conduct as politician will be measured by
different standards and adiudged differently
Ii his conduct as a politician, according to the
Christian standard of truth and Justice, has
been base, has he any ground for believing
that he will not be condemned?
Ii Tor acts OF debasement-like the forging of
important letters-heinous in the sight of
heaven, he may by de ect in the statutes, be
safe from the state prison, has he any reason
to suppose that he will ultimately escape the
fire OF hell?
Many highlytntelligent people sincerely be-
lieve that James A. Garfield deliberately per-
jured himself in order to escape conviction as
bribe taker. Who that believes that does
not abhor, although he may pity, Garfield?
who, in order to defeat Garfield, forges letter
in his name.

GARFIELD ON THE TARIFF.


'sLet it be remembered that
twenty-five per cent. Of all the la
boring people of the country are
artisans engaged i'm manufac-
lures. Their culture has been
fOstered by our tariff laws. 1t is
their pursuits, and the skill which
they have developed, that pro-
duced the glory Of our Cenetnnial
Exhibition. To them the country
owes the splendOr of the position
it holds before the world more
than to any other equal number
of our citizens. If this bill,
Woods revenue tariff biIi,] be-
comes a law, it strikes down their
occupation, and throws into the
keenest distress the brightest and
best elements of our population.
1 implOre this House not to per-
