A PARADOX EXPLAINED.
Tho IDsIncerlsy of tho Tariff Howl.
For the INTELLIGENCER.
1t is said there is not, at this time, a
Republican daily newspaper published i'll
Lancaste. county, Who says so? Let
US see. The Nsw Era has declared with
peculiar emphasis ''over and over again, -
that the Examiner is edited by ''howling
Democrat" and it is not in the nature OF
things for Democratic progenitor to be-
get Republican offspring. The Ne0 Era
has not only proclaimed this in times past,
but it most unqualifiedly proclaims it now.
l don't make such proclamation, neither
does any other Democrat that know Of,
but the editor of the Neao Era does and
it declares that the editor of the Examiner
is not only Democrat, but that lie is ab-
solutely no Republican and; by virtue of
his editorial seniority in the domain Of
politics, he ought to know, especially as he
claims to be one of the original simon
pure founders of the "great Republican
party" That seems to establish the fact,
without a peradventure, that the Erami
ner is not Republican paper.
On tho other hand the Examiner vocif-
erously and persistently declares that the
Nep Era is edited by a Reverend Free
trader" which would seem to preclude
the possibility of its genuine Republican,
ism and, as the political world goes, the
Examiner ought to be entitled to the cre-
dence OF the public as much rs the Neao
Era is.
This question must be determined, not
by what these editors might say about
themselves in regard to their own political
principles-men cannot see themselves as
others see them-but upon what they
earnestly, sincerely and persistently say
about each other, because wheI editors
they would be likely to extenuate." "
which would, Of course, not bo the case
in speaking of each other, although
they might not "set aught down
in malice" BE that, however, as it may,
two intelligent and competent witnesses
have sOlemnly declared that, practically,
at least, there is no Republican daily news
paper published in the great Republican
county of Lancaster, which is the greatest
paradox of the 10Th century. Isn't it
awful? This complication. however, does
not ignore the fact that there may be q
Republican party in Lancaster county
that fact generally becomes manifest after
the votes are counted at the annual cleo
tions-but, to be made foot ball of, and
to be kicked about by q bowling Democrat
and Reverend Free.trader is certainly
very awful. What confidence can the
rank and file place in the "bOsses " of
the machine" when they 60 outside of
tho great Republican party, and smuggle
in Democrat and q FREQ trader, as expos
ers and defenders of falling dynasty
Docs it not conclusively prove that the
attempt to alarm the country on tariff
issues, and the peril Of the protection sys-
ten, is all the absurdest kind of "bosh ?"
As to whether there is = daily Demo
cratic paper in the county of Lancaster
or not, is matter of no very special i'm
pOrtance. Both Of the afOrenamed jour-
nails cOncede that there is "B0urbon
paper in tho cOunty-whatever that may
| mean-and that is about as much as reno
gades arc wont to conccde all tho world
over" A Bourbon, it is said, is ono who
has never learned now thing, and has
never forgotten an old one. Now, through
out the last forty years tho party in oppo-
sition to the Democracy-or at least it's
leaders and editors-have been harping On
tho "protection string, whether it was
| assailed or not. Bourbon-like, it has never
learned a new thing, and has never forgot
ten IN old one. During those forty years,
and for forty years previously, there has
| never been 4 national or state election in
| which the tariff, or protection question,
has been distinctive issue throughout
the country. States have always been, and
| always will be pro and con on the ques-
tiOn and never, until there is uni
formity in the products and manufactures
of the entire union can there be dis
tinctivc issue. Tho intelligent portion of
the Republican party know this full we'll,
hence they permit Democrats and free
traders to edit their journals without tho
least misrepresentation.
Let any Industrious, economical, and
intelligent voter who has been casting his
ballots for tho last fifty years, make pre-
else statement of the losses he has
sustained through legislation on the tariff
question or, whether it affected our party
more that tho other. There are Demo
cratic farmers, mechanics, manufacturers,
professionals, and common day laborers,
as we'll as Republican. It is to be sup
posed that some of these, Of both parties,
have an intelligent perception of the oper-
alton of tariff laws, although there
may be many who have not, and it may
not to be supposed that these people would
wilfully injure Observation-Disclosures, the
late sessions of tho tariff commission re-
veals the fact that all men are selfish on
this question. SECTOR.
