The Cleveland Herald of the Sd ult.,
gave interview reports from many
points throughout northern Ohio as to
the opinions of Democrats, on the can
didate for Governor and the tariff. In
it's report Of Canton we find this:
Mr.. A. MCGregor, editor Of the Demo-
crat, is in favor Of the strongest man for
Governor; any man to beat Foster. He
favors tariff for revenue, regarding no
other tariff constitutional and right. The
following resolution of the Democratic
county platform embodies his views:
Resolved, That the "power to lay and
collect taxes, duties, imposts and excl
ses" is conferred unon Congress for the
purpose of collecting revenue to pay the
debts OF, and carry on the Government
not to plunder the people and build up
monopolies.

1t would be a real charity t. ascertain

of, no record is kept, and with their

Two such 'Cargoes" were unloaded at
Canton about fifteen years ago, Many
of them fell into bad hands; persons who

The people of this country were start
led last Saturday, a little before 10 o'clock,
by telegram from Washington announ'
cling that President Garfield had been
shot in the depot when about to take
the $50 train east. In Canton the news
was received with universal sorrow, and
with the hope his wounds would not
prove mortal.
1t seems man named Guitteau, a dis
appointed officeseeker, was the assassin.
1t is not supposed he had aCcomplices,
but this is being investigated. 1t was
thought he was insane, but there seems
to have been too much method in his
work for insanity.
He provided himself before ente ing
the railway station on his atroc' GUS er-
rand, with team of swift horses and a
carriage, to which he was making his
way as quickly as possible when he was
fortunately intercepted by prompt and
resolute officer. 1t was only after his at
tempt to escape had been thus frustrated
that he called out, "Yes, have finished
Garfield; now Arthur is President; am
"a stalwart." The letters which were
found upon his person were not the let

lieving that no sane man would murder
the President; but disappointment some

TARIFF "PRoTECT1oN" RUNNING

|
| IN THE END.
Prior to the panic and business pros
tration that set in in the fall of 1873, the
balance of trade was largely against this
country. The tariff for protection then
in vogue, as now, did not prevent the bal
ance of trade being against u7, nor did it
prevent the ruin and bankruptcy that
came and lasted for years, The tariff
did not prevent the ruin; and the revival
of business has come in spite of tariff
prote 1tion. Good food crops here and
great scarcity in Europe, with immense
cotton crops, have brought the b lance
of trade in our favor and given US pros
perity. How plain this is. No man is
80 ignorant that he does not know, and
every man should be honest enough to
admit, and to give the credit where it
belongs, The tariff then, as it exists, is
80 unfair that it is and has been an OBJ.
struction. We want readjustment with
view to justice, right and the Constitu.
ton.
None are so blind as those who will
not see; none 80 deaf as those who will
not hear; and after what we have exper.
fenced, we should see aud admit the
evils resulting from an unfair and iniqui.
tous system Of tariff taxation, The panic
of 1873 and the business prostration and
ruin that followed, demonstrated the
fact that those industries which had
been most protected" were prostrated
most and ruined the worst. Iron, wool
len and silk were industries in point
Those victims who had been most served
with, and kept up on intoxiCants, as it
ware, were prostrated worst when the
collapse came.
Protection" then, is ruin-ruin to
those protected. 1t interferes with nat
ural and rational arrangement; disturbs
the proper course of business, and al.
lures its victims to their destruction.
Like dead see fruits that tempt the eye,
But turn to ashes on their llps"
But there is another point which la.
boring men in this country should con.
slider, and that is, that while restrictive
laws may interfere with trade and
prevent importations, they do not pre-.
vent laboring men from abroad immigra-
ting hither. Hence it is that great pros
perity in this country Induces great i'm
migration from Europe; and this is apt
to affect the wages of labor. Protective
tariff laws, then, increase compe tition
among workingmen. In fact, these laws
in every respect work to the injury of
labor.
The only safety for the lpboring man |
is in just laws. The American working
man has nothing to gain by system of
Chinese restriction; but has everything |
to lose. Building up monopolies is to
The injury of labor. We want no favored |
class in this country; no established |
church; no government aristocracy of
wealth and monopoly.
