They oppose the tax on whisky and
tobacco simply as being a tax on
Democratic commodities. Laughter
and applause. They oppose the APP
pearance Of national officers at the
polls for fear that such officers will
secure fair ballot and an honest
count. They claim to be down on
Mormonism, hut oppose all methods
for gripping and destroying that in
stitution. Thus / might go on for
long time, but these are instances
enough to illustrate my point, and
to show what | mean when | say the
Democratic party is simply a party
of negation it eXpends all its ener-
gies in attempting to tear down, and
has no strength, no enthusiasm for
building up.
On the contrary, the Republican
party is one of fixed ideas. 1t was
born through love of liberty. Spent
its youth fighting for freedom. Its
early manhood was taxed to the ut
most in defence of our national eXis-
tence. 1t waded through blood, and
covered our hillsideS and valleys
with soldiers graves, new-made
graves, that it might give freedom
to a ra:e. Applause. 1t found our
country without credit in the money
centers of the world, and to-day we
can borrow untold millions at two
and three per cent. Applause. 1t
has fOstered our industries until the
prosperity and wealth of our people
are perfectly fabulous. 1t believes
in sound currency, in free ballot,
and fair count, in a fair and honest
adjustment between capital and labor
in the the abolition of MOrmOnism,
or rather in its total destruction both
in root and branch, in the proper i'm
prOvement of our rivers and harbors,
in the education of the masses in tenn
perance and good morals throughout
our entire land. Applause.
When you once see the two pic
lures, why wonder that old men seek
shelter under the ample folds of our
banner, that middle-aged men grid
on their armor at the approach of an
impending contest, and that young
men everywhere flock to our standard.
| Prolonged Applause.

to stock the mountain streams for

Union have been paid in good faith
without additional taxation upon our
resources, or the imposition of any
new burdens upon our labOring
classes, for whom so much solicitude
has been recently manifested by the
Pecksnlffian Democracy.
These simple facts are gathered
from tabulations lately issued by the
Treasury Department, showing the
annual receipts and expenditures of
the government from 1865 to 1887"
The Republican managers of our ma
tional finances have no hesitation in
furnishing any desired information to
the people as to the manner in which
they have performed the duties COM
mitted to their charge. Things were

A Word to the Farmer.

The value of barn-yard manure, or
any other fertilizer is admitted by
every farmer. But what is the use of
fertilizer of any sort except to make
land productive? And of what avail
is productive land it you cannot sell
the product? The great question
after all, TOR the farmer, therefore, is
the question of a market-but what
market? There are two markets for
the farmer--the foreign market and
the home market. Which is the most
desirable? Why. the home market,
OF course, because it is in the sale of
his products in the home market that
the farmer makes his money, and it
IS for that reason that only the sur
plus that he cannot sell in the home
market is sent abroad. Last year, for
instance, more than $4,000, O0O, 900
worth of agricultural products were
sold IN the home market, against less
than S1,000,000.0OO sent to a foreign
market Every one of the $50, 900 900
OF our home population consumed on
the average last year S16O worth of
that which was produced by agricul-
tural labor and capital. Now SUP
pose our 5O,OOO,0O0 of population were
not able to buy that much-suppose
the consumption to fall to $50 to each
person! Who would be the greatest
sufferer Why, the farmer, of course.
1t would be ruin to him. Well, that
is precisely what would happen if
Democratic free trade were Inaugural
ted again, and the wages of the labor
er, the mechanic, the artisan, the
professional man reduced, as they
would be reduced, to starvation rates.
Let the farmer see to it first that pro.
lection to labor iscontinued, and then
attend to the other fertilizers.

Democracy and RepublicaniSm.

In his speech at Saginaw, Mich,
Congressman Horn said: but, fell
loW-citizens, my main objection to the
Democratic party is that it is now,
and has been for oyer twenty years
past, simply party of negationists,
OF ObstructiOniStS. Its whole stock
in trade for over twenty years has
been to find fault, to grumble, to
snarl and complain, to tear down all
the old dwellings that shelter us
without building up any new man
sionS into which we can move. 1t
lacks Well-defined principles. 1t
adopts measures simply as temporary
eXpedlents. 1t abandons to-day what
it advocated yesterday simply for the
purpose of achieving temporary sue
cess.
During the rebellion it opposed the
war, but pointed out no other way
to preserve the Nation. 1t was op-
posed to issuing greenbacks, but pro-
posed no other way to meet the press
ing needs of the government. 1t was
opposed to the enlistment of colored
soldiers, opposed to the draft, but
pointed out no other way to fill the
ranks Of our depleted regiments. 1t
was opposed to reconstruction, to
giving the ballot to the colored meE,
the only loyal men of the South, but
had no well defined plan for restoring
the seeded States to their proper re-
ldtions to the general government.
Democrats opposed the issue of bonds
payable in coin, but devised no
method of funding our enormous war
debt. When we were utterly unable
to redeem the greenbacks they op-
posed all delay in their redemption
and the moment we were able to re-
deem them then they opposed with
all their might the fixing of any time
for such redemption. They have op-
posed in the past and now oppose the
national banking system, but give us
nothing to take its place-no safer or
better institution for doing the BUSH
ness of the country. They oppose
the railroads Of the country without
being able to intelligently regulate
them. They oppose all combinations
OF capital for the DEVELOPMENT of our
country without understanding the
mutual relations that naturally exist
between capital and labor. They on
pose our present system of tariff, our
protection to home industries, with
out being able during six years of
power to give US anything better

South "solid," but, with the assis-
lance of their Northern Democratic
friends, to capture the next House of
Representative, because, according
to Democratic ideas, sit will do the
counting''-for on March Sd, 1877, in
consOnance with the report of DEM
ocratic committee, with David Dud-
lev Field at its head, which declared
that it was important to affirm "the
authority of this House over the
counting of the electoral votes" the
Democratic House of Representa-
tiyes adopted a resolution declaring
it to be the 'right and duty" of the
House to go behind the electoral re-
turns from any State. Nay, more,
they even assumed to declare the re-
suit. for on the same day, by vote
of 1856 Democratic yeas, to IS Repub-
lican nays, the same House declared
Tilden and Hendricks "duly elected
President and Vice President for the
term offour years commencing March
4, 1877" They also notified Tilden
of that declaration, and it is still an
open question whether he took the
oath or not. If he had had "the
pluck" as the Democrats still say,
to have not only taken the oath, but
to have made a serious efforts to, Ss.a
inaugurated, what awful consequent
ces would have ensued! Next time
they will pick plucky man for their
leader-perhaps a man with military
power in his hands-or, as Congress
man Ellis would say, "the condition
of affairs may be such, too, that Han
cock may be the nominee" But
these are matters of detail at present.
The main point now is to ''get the
next House" at any cost, because, in
the language of that same Southern
Democrat, sit will be of advantage
for the Democrats in face ola Nation
al Election"
Yet with a knowledge of all this
staring them right in the face, the
people Of the North allow themselves
to be distracted by other issues,
either Of a local character, or if Ma.
tional, indefnitelylless in magnitude
than this question Of the sanctity of
the electoral vote upon which the
liberties of this Nation and even
those of mankind 50 largely rest.
The question is not whether the Bour-
bon Democrats shall control the leg
islation of the next House. That,
bad as it might be, if we let them get
the next House they will in the event
of close Presidential election, count
in the Democratic candidate for the
Presidential office. And there is no
lodging the fact that if the Democrat
ic calculations at all approximate to
probability, the next Presidential
election will be close enough to suit
their revolutionary hopes and de.
signs.

The Bituminous Coal Trade.

The New York Coal TRADE journal says:
"There is really nothing new In regard to tho
condition Of affairs In the Cumberland dis
trict. 1t is hardly worth continuing to give
space TO the tonnage statement, except to show
the decrease that is taking place week by
week. The Meyersdale district Keeps up
tonnage equal to half million tons per an
mum, the Broad Top equal to quarter of O
million and all the Pennsylvania Railroad
districts send out moro than their usual
quota. The Clearheld is running at the rate
OF three million tons year, and 1t is, there
fore, no reason for surprise that the cessation
of operations along Georges Creek does not
cause rise In the price Of bituminous COAL
All the contracts that have been made thus far
are based upon very low figures, and the
Clearfield interest is taking them. We hear
of prices delivered which do not leave the
operator much, II any, margin, unless he Is
protected by the railroad company. Beyond
doubt there is an increase In the consumption
OF bituminous coal that isS growing year by
year; but with the several pennsylvania dis
tricts, West Virginia, both on the Baltimore &
Ohio and Chesapeake L. Ohio, and Maryland,
all producing, there is not much opportunity
