There is food for thought in that table, and

asked to send one or two democratic congress-

for revenue only" means simply that if the

ture goods as cheaply as those of Manchester
and Rochdale, they must be closed. because
the democratic party, if it succeeds in getting
power. will not give them the benefit of the
protective duties which now keep the Lanca-
shire manufacturers out of the American
market. OF course. rs soon as the cheaper
goods from Lancashire appeared, the Massa-
chusetts manufacturers would seek to main
tain themselves by cutting down expenses.
They would be compelled to cut down wages,
IS well as other items in the total cost of
manufacture. There is nothing obscure or
doubtful about the issue involved for work
ingmen in this election. A vote for Hancock,
or for democratic congressman. is vote to
cut down profits and reduce workingmen's
wages.

How the republican tariff which Han
cock is bound to upset if he is elected,
helps the farmers is admirably stated in
the Boston Advertiser as follows: .'Agri-
culture is certainly one of the employ
n,ents designated by nature for this
country. The country has obeyed the
promptngs Of nature so well that it can
supply the deficiencies in the rest of the
world. Suppose a wheat-grower should
ask himself what would happen if a
large number of men, losing employ
ment in factories. should take up land
and become producers instead Of con-
sumers. Certainly his home market
would become more restricted, his for
eign market would not be enlarged. and
for both home and foreign markets the
supply would be increased. Then the
tariff saves him from an evil which the
doctrines of free trade would cast upon
him, 1t does more. 1t gives him con-
stantly enlarging home market, by in
creasing the number of men who must
eat. and who have neither time, oppor-
tunity nor inclination to till the soil and
produce their own food. So tar as it
draws men to the United States it i'm
proves the condition of the countries
from which they remove hither. and
enables them to consume more, thus
contributing to the establishment Of a
better foreign market. In short, the
tariff protects the farmer just as really
il not so directly. as it does the manufac-
turcr and his employees. 1t is not a mar
row policy for the purpose, and having
the effect, of fostering pet industries.
1t is broad and far-reaching, -benefiting
every class of men and every part of the
country. and giving to the whole peO-
pie and to their government strength
and IN independence which free trade
can never bestow until we have achieved
position of superiority to all trade
rivals

Protection and Free Trade.

The grounds upon which political parties
ask the people to support their candidates are
embraced in the platforms adopted by the
conventions making the nominations. In
the republican platform for the present con-
test the avowaf is made of "a tariff which
will discriminate in favor of American
labor" while the democratic platform calls
for tariff for revenue only" The differ
ence is of vast interest to the whole COM
munity, and should be clearly examined by
every voter in the land.
A tariff for revenue only, means free i'm
portation, by which our manufacturing in
foreign industries.
A protective tariff means duty on impor-
tations necessary to the very existence of our
manufacturing, commercial and laboring
classes. The tariff of 1861 by placing certain
duties upon raw materials needed by our
manufacturers. and upon those foreign made
goods that are always imported largely, and
yet tend to supplant home industries, gave
support to all engaged in competing against
supplies from abroad.
Capital has been largely invested in var-
Gus mills and factories-business has re-
sumed activity-manufacturers have realized
handsomely-goods of all kinds have been
improved in quality and reduced in price ::
while more than all. hundreds of thousands
of operatives have found constant employ
ment at good wages, while the laborers have
been equally successful in all their many
branches.
We are in the midst of great prosperity
and our people must now determine for
themselves whether this prosperity shall con-
tinue under the republican platform of a pro-
tective tariff that has produced this state of
husiness activity. or under tho Dassaoe of

Hancock's foundering interview. and the |

his views in . more judicious form, have
tended rather to increase than allay the
alarm created alike among those who are

General Hancock's letter intimates that he
is in favor of protective tariff. it is at open
variance not only with the platform adopted
at Cincinnati, but with that adopted at st.
Louis four years ago, and indeed, with the
whole policy of the democratic party for
these forty years past. and we might almost
say from the foundation Of the government.
