THE DEMOCRAT.
Mineral Point, Friday, Dec. 9.1884.
Geo. Crawford. Robt. NJ. Crawford,
EDITORS AND PRoPR1EroRs.

The recommendation by a repub-
lican president and a republican
secretary of state of the proposed
Spanish treaty, the chief feature of
which is the large reductions in the
import duties on tobacco and sugar
from Cuba and Port Rico, ought to
open the eyes OF tobacco and sugar
raisers who opposed the democratic
party in the late election because of
its favoring tariff reform, which
they believed inimical to their in
terests. No other interests make
so much ado about the danger Of
tariff reform, as the sugar growers,
the tobacco growers, and the wool
growers. The republican party ex-
poets their support from selfish
motives, as it processes to be the
bulwark of protection to American
industries. But certainly demo-
cratic tariff reformers will never
serve these interests as badly as the
republican party has served the
wool interests and now proposes to
serve the other two. The only re-
publican congress which we have
had for the past ten years-the
forty-seventh-very materially re-
duced the tariff on wool, while in
creasing it on manufactured wooden
goods. Now it is proposed to
sacrifice the sugar and tobacco
duties to secure the markets of
Cuba and Port Rico for other Amer
lean products. The treaty may have
some advantages. But it is rather
hard on the sugar and tobacco men
that it should be proposed by repre-
sentatives of the party on which
they have relied to give them mo-
nopoly of the home market.

winter they live in snow houses that are
thickly lined with seal skins or reindeer skins,
and are 40 low that person can barely sit
upright. A. there are very few plants thar

supply the inhabitants with food, clothing and
habitaiions The lives of the men are spent
in eating and hunting, while the women at
tend TO domestic duties. In hunting the seal

every case where ground tor, susp.cion ex-
ists. II Is not as if they had 20 deal With
a party Of clean past reputation or honest
conduct in the past. The democratic par
ty has been engaged for years in desper-
ate effort to steal the Presidency by
means the most shameless and infamous,
and it comes into court with hands drip
ping with the blood of murdered victims.
Its conduct for twelve years past has
been black with frauds of every descrip-
ton, from the tissue ballots of South Car
olina, to the bribed votes of Ohio and the
coIonized voters of Indiana. It has not
tried to hold single honest election in all
these years in any doubtful State, and
there is the strongest possible presump-
ton that the same men who labored for
weeks TO bride an elector in 1876 have
chosen other means to cheat the people
this year.
1t IS right to tell the democrats that they
will not inaugurate any President fraudu-
lently elected, without facing most care
fnl scrutiny of their methods, both at the
North and at the South. II it should APP
pear that rascally officials at the North
had attempted to rob the people by raised
or false returns, there will be inquiry not
only as TO New York but as to other States
in which the illegalitY of democratic con-
duct has for years been manifest.

The situation.

The revision Of the figures by counties
IN New York yesterday resulted in giving
a small plurality of the vote of the State
TO Cleveland. It is still claimed by
republicans that the official count. which
is to take place next Tuesday, will give
Blaine small plurality. The result.
whatever it may be. it fairly reached,
will probably be accepted as final, and
also settle the question of the Presidential
succession.
The republicans have elected Blaine and
Logan That much is evident from the
returns published. The republican nation
al committee has so declared.
Blu, the democrats, having been fairly
beaten at the ballot box. are making an
attempt to cheat and bully the republicans
ont of their victory. They assume that
the vote OF New York is the pivot upon
which the election turns. and though the
republicans have plurality in that State,
they have undertaken the task OF changing
the returns in several counties
where the vote has been purposely kept
back. so that they will be able by fraud
to overcome Blaine and Logan's plurality
and give Cleveland an apparent plurality
in the State. This is the present situation
1t is an old game with the democratic
party We are fully persuaded that it
will prove a losing one to them this time,
If the democratic leaders persist in this
attempt to cheat themselves into power by
false count in New York they will be
resisted to the last extremity il need be.
OF the States claimed by the democrats
in this election, not more than half a
dozen have been fairly carried by them.
In nearly every Southern State the cleo
toral votes that will be gwen for Cleve-
land are the product of fraud. violence
and terrorism. The hands that hold
them are reeking with the blood oil
innocent mea hunted to death because
they were republicans This system of
carrying elections must not be permitted
to obtain foothold in the northern States.
II must and will be resisted and defeated
in New York. and we hope this move
ment to engratt It upon northern com.
munity will lead TO practical and success
full efforts to extirpate it from the South,
The republican national committee will
find that its course will meet the approba-
ton of republicans and patriots and honest
men of all parties, Let the republicans
of New York. in this crisis. stand up
manfully and courageously. Unless such
shameless frauds as that now entered upon
by Cleveland and his supporters are OPP
posed and overthrown, republican govern
erument will be Il failure in this country,
and anarchy will rule with terrible sway
p. S.-Siuce the above was in type a
revision of figures by counties has been
made, which gives Cleveland a small
plurality, though Blaine's friends still
claim plurality for him.

Robbery not to be Tolerated.

The returns last night indicated only
too clearly that the democrats had import
ed the methods OF Mississippi and Louisi

pie of New York. In New York and
Queens counties. the democratic maiori-
ties, large enough for any honest man.
originally, were raised by later and altered
returns. In Ulster. 81 more ballots were
found in single precinct than the whole
number of voters, and y blindfolded Judge
so successfully drew out the excess as to
give the democrats $50 plurality out of a
total vote of $50. There are other points
in this State, and not few. where the
methods of the Solid South appear to have
been diligently employed.
