Mr.. Ford, of the Irish World, knows
what he is about. Like the man he is
supporting for the presidency he is Oh
the make. His atheistic, dynamite
sheet is sent by the thousands all over
the country to people who have not
subscribed for it. Why? Because the
Blaine campaign funds pay for them.
And there is no telling how big the
subsidy was that secured the support of
the paper. Mr.. Ford has been an
Irishman for evenu principally, for
10! these many years.

MIR. BLAlNE's NONSENSE ON THE
TARIFF.

Because Mr.. Blaine asserts i'll his let
ter of acceptance that the present
wealth of the nation is forty-four thou
sand million dollars, republican orators
and newspapers take it for granted
that it is all true, and they then pro-
coed to build up all argument that all
this (assuned) prosperity is due to the
high tariff taxes. AS we'll argue that
a successful mans thrift and accumula-
tons are due to the money he has dur
ing his life spent for whisky, for as a
matter Of fact protection is the whisky,
the false and baneful stimulus of bust
ness. The real success and accumula-
ton in the country is in spite OF the
high tariff. 1t is the most puerile non-
sense to assert that the more a man
a v out in taxes the weather. he be-
comes. But the whole argument falls
to the ground from the fact that Mr..
Blaine's estimate of the present wealth
of the nation is ridiculously untrue;
so absurdly so that the veriest tyro in
politics should have been ashamed to
publish it over his name. OF course
the census gives no such figures, des-
pite the assertion that it does. From
a man capable of making the PROPOSE
tions which Mr.. Blaine made to MI.
Fisher; a man stupid enough to write
the Phelps letter; a man who lies SO
bunglingly as to be constantly detected
as in the Hooking Valley coal lands
business, and several times i'll the Null
hgan letters; a man convicted beyond
any chance Of defense of having pros
tituted his high office for "corrupt
money!" any sort Of a statement may
be expected. But for decent men, men
who aspire to being better than ignora-
muses. and superior to blatant dema-
gogism, to accept unquestioned the
| statements of such a man, evidences a
| carelessness which attacks their own
integrity of purpose or their intelli-
gence. That Mr.. Blaine is an unsafe
leader is evident in his Jingoism as SEC
rotary of state, and his universally rid
iculed proposition to keep up indefi-
nitely the excise taxation and divide
up the resultant money among the
states. And what is to be said of the
ignorance and demagogism of the claim
that to protective taxes we are under
obligation for all our increased wealth,
to the ignoring of the millions of i'm
migrants who have come to u shores
! with their money and their muscle,
mostly fleeing from protective tariff
countries, and who have taken up the
millions of acres from which and in
which the real accretions to our wealth
have come? What is to be said of the
stupidity and dense prejudice that
would ignore all II farms, all our
mines of silver, gold and coarser met
ais; all the splendid achievements OF
our inventive talent, in no way behold
ell to the tariff; all the millions Of man.
ufactures even which are not depen-
dent upon but rather hindered by it;
our thousands of miles of railroad that
are first taxed for construction, and
then dwarfed in by the Grip
pling of commerce incident to combining
manufactures to o few favored locali-
ties? Truly these protectionist fanat-
les and Bourbons must themselves be
fools OF take the people to be idiots.

The republican party of Missouri re-
sembles just now the little terrier who
had swallowed the base ball. Having
bolted the lies they uttered in their
platform about Missouri their abdomen
is so round that it is tempting to the
democratic batter. Great Scott, what
a squash therem be when it is knocked
clean out of bounds on November 4.
The idea of parading Patrick Ford,
of the Irish World, as a democratic
convert to Blaineism, is supremacy
ridiculous. The nan never was a
democrat in his life, and his paper
never supported the democratic ticket.
Four years ago it flew the greenback-
Weaver banner for president, and two
years ago it said James G. Blaine was
a British turnkey and a Disgrace to the
United States.
So far as we have seen, Judge David
Wagner has not denied that Gov.
Crittenden was right when he denounc-
ed him as a liar. The fact is the gov
ernor told the truth, and the Judge can
not reply. Partisans who are in the
habit of squirting their venom about as
they white the dry-goods boxes OF
country villages, must be a little caro-
full how they indulge their propensities
where reporters and newspapers are
about. Judge Wagner just now seems
to be drowned in his own slime.
