IL. Tho party nominee no should bi sup
ported and eleo,od. Tho party lash will be
cracked about tic cars and shoulders OF tho
rank and hIe Of tho democratic party, ard
they will DO told that they must ignore this
feature Of the nooiinoe's principals and vote
for hin. They must forget that he 10 ono OF
tho favored few with their heels upon the
necks Of the people, slrdiog 10 richness and
luxury over their Frustrated bodies, filing
their Golfers that they may live upon the
fat of the land surround themselves with every
comfort and luxury with tho money extorted
from the laborer, from tho merchant from
the lawyer, from the mechanic, from thedoctor'
from the sewing women, from the laundress
from every avocstion in this entire country
except their own. The high protective tar.
if discriminstes in favor of the manufacturer
against every other citizsn and resident OF
this union. 1t enables him 70 ask his own
price for his goods aud his work. and the ne,
cessites of the people force them to buy
those goods and works. Ths farmer who
works hard from he rising Of the sun to the
going down thereof, in the heat and dust OF
his cotton field the year round 10
raise cotton which the manufacturer
pays him ton cents pound for, is forced 10
buy it back in cloth or thread at the rate of
thirty cents pound. This is because of the
protec i've tariff which keeps away foreign
competition, which, indeed, kills domestic
comp tition. The sheep grower of Onio, who
sells his wool for tweRty five cents pound,
has to buy it back from The manufacturer at
the rate OF seventy-dve cents pound, yet
the democratic wool grower of Ohio is told
! that he must vote for man for governor
who is protectionist, who says this class
legislation is Just and honest, who demands
that the classes be Kept ground down in
poverty by extortion that he and the other
manufacturers of the country may accumulate
their multiplied thousands every year,
/ 1t is beyond our comprehension how q
genuine democrat can be protec.ionist, can
| favor anything more than tariff for revenue
/ only. More than tariff for revenue alone,
is contrary to the genius of our government;
i. is antagonistic with that grand apothegm
which 50 forcibly outlines and portrays the
spirit and essence of our form of govern
ment-"a government of the people, for the
people, by the people," Yet Mr.. Book
walter, the democratic nominee for governor
Of Ohio, is protectionlst He has money in
abundance to make the camplgn lively
money that should have bought bread for
many q hungry mouth, for it is a
| lsmeutable fact tbSt many a
strong man; many delicate
woman, many helpless child throughout
this free land of ours, has suffered for food
because of the extortion of protection. The
extortionists, clad in their fac linen and
purple, may banquet daily on rich viands
and luxurious wines, while men and women
and children are denied even dry huks of
bread, that this may DO so. This is no
overdrawn picture. This is just what pro-
lection does. 1t chains nearly fifty million
people in country where freedom and
equal justice are the boasts, to the chariot
w1eals Of few favored thousands, and
| Mr.. B2okwalter, endorses it apd uphods it.
What will the Louisville Courier JOurnsl,
the greet low tariff Newspaper of the country,
the able and untiring champion
of the people against the
hideous monstrosity of protection cay and
do abou. the nomination for the chief magis-
tracy OF Ohio Of protecto0iat? What will
Mr.. Frank Hurd, of OHIO, the brilliant ora
tor the tried and trusted dfmocrat,the apos-
llo ia the cause of the tariff for TIE reve
nue. only, do and say about the nomination
If the prltactionst in his own state? Will
the Courier Jurnal and Nr. Hurd bow their
necks 10 the yoke, immediate their consisteI>
cy upon the altar of party dictstioa ard
s!ul,ify themselves by supporting prosc-
tionis ? The democratic party can nevar
hope for success ia this country until it makes
the tariff queation an issue and fights
protection TO the bitter erd, early and
late and all the time. It had ju-t as we'll be-
gin the work right MOI and put itself on the
record Gal keep on strengthening that
record until the Issues for 1884 are all made
up, SO that it can make q war on protection,
ono of the msin planks o. It's platform. A
feeble expression 10 favor of tariff for reve-
nus only was squeezed into the platform
last year, but no fght was made upon
il until the last few weeks of the campaign,
when the proieciionists after splendid preps |
ara,ioos sprung 1t on tine democrats, and
they we're not prepared for battle on this
issue, aud they lost terribly by it. War TO
the knife, and the knife 10 the bilt against
protection should be the democratic policy |
fir N this day on, and Bookwalter should be
set upon by bis Wn party.
