ATRUE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM
st. Louis Republican.

The Ohio Republicans did not mince
matters in their treatment of the tariff,
They spoke plainly and without equivoca
ton They gave the subject the honor
of first mention in their platform, and
declared that the Republican party APP
proves the policy of protection in all &c
onomic legislation; and it condemns the
Democratic doctrine of tariff for revenue
only as destructive to the business inter
ests of the country; that the doctrine of
the Democratic party favOring the putting
Of what is improperly called raw materials
such as ore, pig iron, etc, on the free list
is dangerous and if carried out will be
destructive Of the best interests of the
nation" They further denounce the
reduction in the wool duty made by the
new tariff of last year, and demand the
restoration of the higher wool duties Of
1857
This is the Republican doctrine. That
doctrine for twenty odd years has meant
high duties for the protection of special
favored interests at the expense of all
other interests and the Ohio Republicans
reassert it with increased emphasis. They
believe that it is the duty of the govern
ment, not only to levy taxes for the cost
Of public administration, but to levy taxes
also for the benefit of special classes of
its citizens; and they condem the opposite
Democratic doctrine of taritffOr revenue
only as dangerous and destructive.
The most absurd and inconsistent part
of this frankly avowed policy is the con
demnation of the proposition IN the Nor
rison bill to admit ore, pig IRON. wool and
other raw materials free of duty. Why
should not these articles be admitted free?
They are the bases of our manufacturing
industries. Manufacturing cannot be
carried on without them, and the cheaper
and more abundant they are, the more
VaIi9d and profuse will be the fabric ey
are wrought into, the cheaper will these
these fabrics be to consumers and the
greater will be the amount of employment
given to manufacturing labor But the
Ohio Republicans say these articles shall
not be cheap; they must be taxed even to
the encouragement of the industries that
rest upon them. A high tariff on raw
materials is burden on manufactures a
burden on consumers and an impediment
to our foreign trade-for it prevents our
manufacturers, when the home market Is
glntted, from sending their unstable fab
RIGS abroad and competing in the markets
of the world with the British and German
fabrics made out of untaxed materials
Yet the Ohio Republicans. while pretend
ing to favor American labor, insist OIL
subJecting the very industries it is engag
ed in, the tools it works with the clothe'
it wears, the'houses it lives in, the salt
sugar and rice it eats, and the plates anC
dishes it eats from, to oppressive anC

tne man fell after jumping. They led to
the cellar of the house, and there Tom Wilson,
a negro who had known the girls all their
lives, was found, bleeding profusely. In
falling, after Jennie's last blow, he had
struck his chin on the ash-ean and the sharp
edge had cut his throat His face was
plowed in ridges by Jennie's nails She
identified him as her assailant, and he Was az
raigned and taken to the Richmond county
Jail, it being thought unsafe to keep him in
the neighborhood of Rossville, where the
feeling against him is very strong.
