MORAL COWARDICE

1t is asserted, with an air as conf
dent as if the statement were u geo.
metric axiom, that Gen. Garfield has
never lacked the courage of bis con-
victions and that, in voting, he has
always been true to his conceptions of
right 1t would not be heavy task
to cite several columns of instances in
which General Garfield has put party
in front Of duty and voted in opposi
tion to his declared belief. But sim
gle illustration will suffice for this time.
AS member of the House, he oppos-
ed the Electoral Commission bill on the
ground that it gave the Commission
authority "to go behind the returns"
The declaration OF this opinion caused
his selection, by Democratic House,
as member of that Commission. He
took the oath to act "impartially,' and
then voted that the Commission had
no power to receive evidence, making
one of the eight who overthrow the
will of the people by setting aside the
election OF 1876. As member of the
Commission he was false to the con-
victions uttered in the House, well
knowing that, but for the plain decla-
ration Of those convictions, he would
not have been selected to occupy q
seat in that tribunal. These are the
facts--iacts of record-and they are
entirely consistent with the whole
story CT General Garfeld's public life.
With the air and voice of lion, he
has the courage of sheep. To what
ever attitude his better impulses may
have scared, he has never failed to
sacrifice his convictions on the altar of
party

ANS WEIR TO MINERS.

Some Of the voters IN the mining
regions have allowed themselves to be
disturbed on the tariff question by
some ignorant blatberskites, and hav-
ing addressed the editor Of the Osceola
Repeilie, he answers them in this way :
The following is the record of James
A. Garfield on the tariff Of foreign coal
and iron, as it appears in the Congress
siondi Globe
FOREIGN COAL.
On the 18th of March, 1871, the fol-
lowing joint resolution was passed by
the House Of Representatives;
"Bo Il enacted, eic., That from and ailor the
passage Of this joint resolution no tax or duty
shall be levied OF collected on foreign coal"
On the passage of this resolution
General Garfield voted dye-.See Con.

During the debate in the House on
the above bill, March 10, 1871, Gen
field said
"But desire to ask gentlemen whether. con-
siderng the odium that the whole tariff has 10

so little value either to the country or the treas.

The Hon. W. d. Kelley and oil other
members in Congress in favor of pro.
lection voted against this joint resolu.
tion repeating the duty on coal.
FOREIGN IRON, &c.
During the first session Of the Tbir.
ty.eighth Congress the tariff on pig
iron was raised from Sc to 50 per ton.
On page 1912, Part ". of the Con-
greSSional Globe of 1864, June 9th, we
find James A. Garfield voting to re-
duce the proposed tariff on railroad
iron from eighty down to sixty cents
per hundred pounds, and on the final
vote on raising the tariff his vote is
not recorded, On the reduction of the
duty on railroad iron he voted in op-
position to every protective tariff man
in the House, including such men as
Judge Kelley, Thaddeus Stephens and
General A. X. Moorhead. In 1870 the
duty of SO per ton on pig iron was re-
duced to 81 per ton, General Garfield
voted for the reduction. In 1872 a
bill making reduction of ten per cent.
in the duties on wools, iron and steel
passed Congress. This bill provided
"1hat on and after the lst day Of August, 1872,
in lieu Of the duties imposed by law on the arii-
oles in this section enumerated, there shall be
levied, collected and paid on the goods and wares
and merehandise in this section enumerated
and provided for imported from foreign coun-
tries, ninety per centum Of the several du-
