that we may live more purely, more

The Two Kinds of Tariff.

Now that the Democrats see the
uprising of the people against their
position on the tariff they seek to
mlsrepresent their own attitude and
to hetog the whole question. They
answer: we are compelled to raise
Il large revenue; it must come from
a tariff; there can, therefore, be no
such thing as free trade; the very
necessity OF raising a heavy revenue
carries protection with il" This is
the only Democratic defense. Gen.
Hancock makes the point in his let
ter to Senator Randolph when he
says "All parties agree that the
best way for us to raise revenue is
largely by the tariff. So far as We
areoonoerned, therefore, all talk about
'tree trade is folly"
Let Us see about that. The Dem
oerauc declaration is for "a tariff for
revenue only :" the Republican dec
laratlon Is for a tariff that will pro-
tect our own manufactures and
labor. There is a distinct signifi-
canoe attached to each. A revenue
tariff means one thing; protective
tarliI means another and a very diff
ferent thing. England is what is
called free trade country; she re-
pudiates the whole protective prip-
clple: vet She raiaes a iaroa uevanne
from customs. The English tariff

THROWING Up TIRE SPONGE.
THE DEMOCRATIC ORGAN IN NEW
YORK GIVES Up THE FIGHT.

THE DEMOCRATIC ORGAN IL NEW
YORK GIVES Up THE FIGHT.
The Democrats have sustained an
unexpected and mortifying defeat in
Ohio and Indiana 1t is disastrous,
and NAV prove fatal It is silly to
make light of it, and idle to try to
whittlc it away by cunning calcula-
tions and adroit figuring. The Dem
ocrats are beaten, badly beaten &;
whether beaten 10 death or not is the
only question.
1t has seemed 10 Us that the whole
Democratic campaign was a series Of
blunders.
The party had one man-only one
whose immense strength has been
demonstrated on a national field
Samuel J. Tilden. 1t is the one
great, prc-emincnt name in the
Democratic party. He was 4 reform
or indeed, as his record in the Office
of Governor had proven He was q
statesman, as all his public papers,
especially his letter declining TO
compete for the nomination, had
shown. Childless, like Washington,
he had only his country to love and
even the ties of kindred were ruth
lessly sundered by his stern and un-
relenting hand if the faintest blush
Of an improper practice rested upon
them. So patriotic, so lofty, so con
vincing, was his great letter to the
Convention which made the nomi-
nation that the most adrOit and the
ablest of all his enemies, after read
ing it, avowed his disposition to sup
port him. This illustrious man the
Democratic party thought it could
afford to dispense with as a candi-
date! There Is word of one sylla-
bic, with two o's in it, which might,
not inappropriately, be inserted here.
The party nominated General
Hancock, good man, weighing two
hundred and fifty pounds.
Hut Hancock Is not Illdcn.
Then, as a crowning act of folly,
the party went into the State of
Thomas 4. Hendricks and took an
other man for Vice President ANY
name other than that Of Hendricks
would have been folly enough, but,
to 90 one step further, they had to
take n man with the most odious
reputation as 4 skinhint 10 over
come,
There used to be a fellow who
made an occupation of butting his
head against 4 rough-stone New
England wall for twenty-five cents.
The Democratic party in making
thisnomination resemble him; only, !
ifreport be true, they did not get the
twenty-five cents.
Now, We are for looking the actual
facts squarcly in the ta0c. Who
do that without blinking, in
defeat and disaster rs well rs in
victory, has no manhood in his
makc.-NclC T0rE Sip
