of the sneaker out of the Bourbon organ.
The Democratic party is in favor of free
trade, and free trade s the great control
ling principle of economic statesman
ship in England; and for years the Dem
oGratic party has received money from
England 10 aid in prOpGgGting English doc
trineS of free trade in Amerlcd, And yet
the hypocrite of the Democrat talks OF
being anti English He is anti English
men who are poor, and who have sense
enough to vote against free trade, but
he is hand in hand with wealthy Eng'
shmen who want the industries Of
America to stay out of foreign markets,
Repository
The Rep. is slightly mistaken in saying
The is hand in hand with wealthy En-
glish !" and that, "the Democratic party
is in favor of free trade"
Oar candidate for President is not a
member and never was, of the Free
Trade Golden club of England, as James
A Garfield is
Ia not this member of the Golden
club pro English? According to the log.
ic of the Rep he leland his name is
GARFIELD! Is Mr.. Garfield hand in
hand with wealthy English ?"
The newspapers devoted to free trade
in this country are Ga,fald organs, Did
the Rep. ever hear of the Cincinnati
Commercial, Chicago Tribune. New York
Evening Post, &c?
Our mysterious logic" consists of solid
facts. That is why our logic troubles.
The Rep it was that charged us with be
ing "anti-Euglish," and seemed to think
it had hit us hard. II now wants to
prove us English The poor thing is
evidently in trouble, for it slushes
around like drunk man; and blind
drunk at that.
But the Rep. like other Chinese organs,
is fond, at times, of saying "the Demo
cratic party is in favor of free trade"
We take pleasure in informing the fam
lily organ, once again, that the Democratic
party is now, and always was, in favor
of "a tariff for revenue only" for the
good and sufficient reason, that the Con-
stitution of the United States, which is
the fundamental law of the land, admits
of nothing more. Our government can
only nghtfuly tax the people to put
money into the treasury, not for the pur.
pose of putting money into the pockets
of a few favored individuals The Con.
stitution was framed with view to jus.
tce. The Democratic party is the party
of JU.TCE-evel handed Justice.
We regret to see that the Rep is losing
ita temper. Our facts and "logic" must
have hurt. 1t don't want to be called
the English organ but when it took the
liberty to call the DEMOCRAT "anti.Eng.
lish," we accepted the term cheerfully,
and explained that, just as Washington
Jefferson and slch men were anti-Eng
lish, we were. And then, we concluded
in the same sense, the Rep. WASHING.
HShi
But the Rep says "the Democratic
party has received money from England
to aid in propsgating English doctrines
of free trade in America" If any such
money is sent, it must be sent through
well known friends to accepted and well
tried friends here To which political
party do these friends belong? Ger.
tainly not to the Democratic party. AS
we have said, it is JAMES A. GARFIELD,
mot GEN. HANCoCK) who is a member of
the free trade Golden Club of England !!
The organs, too, of English free trade,
one and all, support James A. Garfield.
Dare the Rep deny this2 Dare it deny
that the Cincinnati Commercial Chicago
Tribune, New York Evening Post, g., are
free trade organs, and support Garfield ?
Facts are stubborn things
"Insul8to English WOrkmen." OF course
the Rep knows better. Three or four
weeks ago we noticed, on our local page,
piece of inexcusaSle blackguardism on
Liberty street. We had stopped oppo.
site the Cutlery Works to converse with
three old citizens, one a Republican, and
politics was not the subject of chat at all.
Soon from the second story window came
voices, and stream of political slang,
evidently from fellows ambitious to be
smart blaCkguards We paid no atten-
tion to the poor fools, then and there
but took occasion to notice it on our To-.
cal page. So that the insults" came
from English workmen," as we were in
formed by those who know them well.
Our remarks then only applied to the
guilty not to those workmen who main.
tain the dignity of labor by acting the
part of good citizens, regardful of their
own rights and the rights of others.
The Rep thought our little squib on
the English cutters was a grand thing
for them and the wiseacres there sailed
in, calling US "anti English" &c. The
Englishman of the East Liverr ool Trib
ane also rushed in to approve the black
guardism and defend the blackguards.
Such was the origin of this "anti Eug.
lish" and English controversy 1t has
run into tariff, free trade, &c, for these
Journals improved the opportunity to ac
Cuse US Of abusing English workmen,
because they we're Republicans, and be.
cause they we're in favor of protection,
and were for Ga, field, a member of the
free trade Golden clab of England. In
fact, these journals have sought to stir
