the Golden Clubp There are two ways
in which the Golden Club might uD-
crate one by dignified argument in la
yOr of the doctrine of Richard Golden,
which the English claim have given to
| their country great prosperity, and es-
peclally has increased the wages of the
labOring people over those paid before
the adoption of free trade ,and as against
those paid in the protective tariff cOun-
| tries of Europe, Germany, Spain, &c.
This one way In which the Golden club
operates, by tracts like those of Mr. Mon
gradien, directly appealing to the rea-
son OF the American people; and then IL
IS not possible that the vast fund which
has been described as being expended
for the purpose Of cOrrupting the Amer
| lean people as against the interest of
protection against free trade, has been
put into the hands of secret emissaries
to be used in enticing distinguished Re-
publican orators into arguing the false
premises, and attempting to support
the doctrine of protection, by reasoning
based on the successful competition in
the manufacture OF buggies by Cincin-
natl with the pauper labor of Liverpool,
Japan and Australia. And then the
distinguished judge continues: "But
what this one man is doing prudent
men are doing everywhere. The whole
| country is taking in sail, and are watch
ing Ohio, to see if they can put it Oul
| again"
On, yes; the whole wOrld-that il, the
/ whole American worlds standing on
| hOusetOps and fences with telescopes
| and opera glasses in hand, every fellow
with sail, some bunting as big as this
room, some no bigger than shirt tail,
all ready to put out in case Joseph b.

Sured once again against danger that
can not possibly occur until this time
three years hence. What wonderful
show Ot white bunting there will be Oc-
tOber 10th next, if the judge lly beats
me.
The consequence is," says Judge For
aker, that Notwithstanding we have q
sound currency, fruitful and abundant
haTvests, and all other conditions that
favor trade and prosperity, there is a
feeling of sensitiVeness developing in
business circles that is making itself
felt in declining prices for iron and
coal, wheat, corn, hogs and all other
products of manufacture and agricul-
ture, and this means less protection,
less demand for labor, and lower wages
for the labor which is employed"
A sound currency, oh, yes! We have
fruitful and abundant harvests. God
has been good to us, and all the other
conditions that involve trade and pros
perity; but the danger that George
| HOadly will be elected Governor of Ohio
is making itself felt in declining prices
| for iron, coal, wheat, hogs, &c.
Now | will return to the tabulated
| statement | have of the exports from
| this country in the years 1880 and 1881.
| find that of wheat and -four we expOr-
ted i'll 1880 to the amount of 1925, 1897 SOP
/ aud in 1881 to the amount of $212. 745-
| 742; of corn and cOrnmeal in 1880 to the
amount of $54, ,279 sos, and in 1881 to the
amount of $5l,972 8G9; Of hogs in 1880 to
the amount of S42I, ,O80, in 1881 to the
amount of 6072 1888; of bacon and hams
in 1880 to the amount of $50, ,967 1923 and
in 1881 to the amount of SOL, 161 ,205; of
lard to the amount of 1927 1920, 1867 in 1880,
and in 1881 to the amount of $35, ,226, SIG.
Thus we have all the articles named by
Jucge Foraker, wheat, corn and hogs,
an export of $350,0OO,OO0 a year, vast
surplus which goes to feed Europe, and
which fixes and determines absolutely
the value in this country; so that the
price of the farmers product, with the
single exception of his own eve lamb,
from which the Republicans took off the
fleece last fall, is determined by the price
at the commercial centers, and they in
turn by the price at Liverpool, tTanspOr-
tatiOn, insurance and commission taken
into account. 1t Is doubtless true very
little money has been made in this cOun-
try since last year. Mr.. Halstead said
not long ago this was because of an in
| describable something; but now we have
| found out what that indescribable some
| thing is. 1t is the danger of the defeat
| of the FOsteT-FOTaker combination.
| Surely that is an indescribable sOme-
thing, this combination, and Halstead's s
name for it is the right name. But what

The judge continues: "Phese results
