+. III. PIERPoINT.

The above mysterious number seems
to be giving trouble to business iowa
days. 1t is the only element in politics
about which any genuine business COM
plant has been made specific. That
specific instance is contained in the fol-
lowing addr, IS made to the Board OF
Aldermen OF New York:
To The Honorable he Rooyd OF .lhierne" Of
the City Of New York
Now into your honorable councils APP
pears your constituent the undersigned,
Felix MCGOWAN, and kindly complain
ing to your honorable body, saith
That he is a hotel keeper in this citv,
on the northwest corner OF Tenth ave-
nue. and T~wenty.ninth street, but that
his premises fronting on Tenth avenue
has a number by which, unfortunately,
it is known to the directory, to the CEN
sus takers, to election officers, TO the as
SCISSORS and to the public who there pass
and repass. Your petitioner uses the
word "unfortunately,' because OF
late the number has become to
him a source OF great annoy
ance. The number is 1929 Tenth ave
nue." People 30 by and jeer at the sign
on which it is inscribed. Customers
and travellers refuse to come IN because
they say it is an unlucky anu fated mum.
Der. Boys place their thumbs in odd
abutments TO their noses and whirl deli.
ancc mt the number with their fingers.
Some %irreverent parties have even in
suited complainant and petitioner by
calling out, "HelO, old Garfield, give us
a diyvy," or else, "What are your aims,
ANYHOW, old DcGolyer?' SO that life is
becoming a grieyuus burden to petition
er. Besides, he AMI his premises are IN
suited by having his number, J29, chalk
81 or painted un all I'VE the city. In
deed petitioner is afraid OF going down
to posterity as "Old $780," instead of as
q reputable and industrious hotel keep
er. Wherefore he prays your honora
bic body to change the number OF his
premises to 32Si or 32S}, inasmuch as
he is convinced that go will always be
Il reproach to him and hispremises.

THE TARIFF

The Democrats have possession oil
both houses OF Congress and have had
the opportunity, ii they were SO IN
clined, TO turn all the workingmen GU
Of employment; reduce their wages 10
a par with the ways in Europe; shut
up the mills; destroy all manufactures;
and send the country to the dCmnitlon
bow-wows by enactins the great bugga-
boo that has sud lenly turned MP in this
campaign about the tariff.
What have the Democrats done?
They have recognized the great ine-
qualities in cur present tariff system.
They know that there are gross wrongs
that ought tO b, rishtad. There are
evils that have been frankly admitted
10 b, such by Gen. GARFIELD and
every Republican in Congress. There
are imp1sts that rob the general pubic
for the enrichment Of three or four or
halt n dozen nier. There are pre- visions
OF the present tariff rates that compel
ten million families TO contribute to the
o~yertlOwing Golfers oi Il few million
aires. There are Selfeyident, glaring
AMI universal " admitted Cutra ges tn
shrincd in the tariff schedule, and no
Republican dare deny their existence.
Now the Democratic party has pro
posed, not to abolish the tarilr because
OF these Existing inequalities, but sim
ply to correct the inequalities. This is
a duty the party OWES to the millions oil
laboring men AMI poor people who are
contributing out OF their mCagrc earn
ings TO the support OF a few gigantic mo-
nopolies which live by virtue OF the
protection the present tariff schedule al
lords them.
To accomplish this reform in the most
equitable manner, without disturbing
any industry, the Democratic Congress
proposes to submit the tariff schedule to
a commission of experts for revision.
This is the most that is proposed and
the least that Congress can afford 10 do
for the general good in this behalf.
There is no free trade plank in the Dem
ccralic platform, ami there is no intelli-
gent voter in any party in the Cuited
States who does not know that however
much lie may wish entire freedom from
taxes on foreign goods, there can be no
such thing until long after he AMI HAN

While GRAYris putting bis estimate
upon HANCOCK, it will not be amiss to
have an estimate put upon GRANT, es-
pecially as the opinion m from a
ource which all West Virginia Repub-
licans will endorse. We find this in the
subioined letter OF Ex-Governor F. n.
P~rkREpoIST, OF Fairmont, W. Va, adj
dressed to R. ). BLAIR. OF Richie coun-
ty, in 1872, which reads as follows:

ruler under the most corrupt ring that

Grant has neither foresight nor inciina'
lion 10 release himself from their CON-
troll. A corrupt party WAS never regen-
Grated by those within. Those who
fight for its regeneration must go ont
and form new combinations to break
the power OF those who are robbing the
people OF their sacred birthright:
Grants administration has been one OF
public plunder-of lands and treasury.
Zach of his cabinet officers have dis
praced themselves. except his Attorney
Generals, and with them there has been
an incompetency not before exhibited n
that Office. Under the leadership oil
Grant and his ring the poor, ignorant
negroes, enfranchised for the best mo-
t,yes, have been this fall, and are now,
being transported from State TO State to

TAKE 1T STRAIGHT.

Can any man put his finger upon a
Republican who will scratch his ticket
next Tuesday?
Can any man cite an instance OF a
Republican depositing a ballot for q
Democrat?
Did you ever see him do il?
Republicans are going about urging
the plea that some OF the candidates on
their local ticket are better than those
on the Democratic ticket, and that 1t is
the duty OF Democrats to vote for them!
They put on an appearance OF frank
ness, too, by admitting that there are
some of the Democratic candidates who
are superior to the Republican candl-
dates for the same positions.
Blu, do they cJncede that it is tie duty
of Republicans to vote for these DEM
ocra,s who they admit are better men !
Will they do it?
While they are thus button-hohng
Democrats and hob nobbinS Win
Greenbackers o~stensibly to secure "the
hest men for these Offices" when elec-
ton day comes around, il they find
that Democrats AMI G~reenbackers have
been drlu led into helpin, them elect
their men, they will throw up their
hats aud cai. i, Il Republican victory
anil croN over the very p rsons WHO
have been eau hit in the snare.
The returns OF the election nom
every town and district in this state,
next Tuesday, will be builetined in
every town and city from Maine to
Mexico, ami millions OF people will be
scanning them with a view OF ascer-
tanning the drift Of political sentiment
D,es anybody suppose that the parti'
san agent Of the Associated Press IN TINS
State, who is one OF the proprletors oil
the h~teR;gync,r, would let slip an oppor-
tunity OF sending broadcast over the
country the returns from any town,
county or district which showed Repub.
lican gains, even though the gains were
the result OF trading with Democrats
and Greenbackers?
Are Democrats in any locality willln.
to contribute encouragement to the OPP
moments oithe Democratic party through
out the Nation By trading and scratch
ing to give their opponents an advant'
age?
This is not a mere municipal election,
