Whnl Rnd Tariffs Do.


Forty-One years ago Samuel J. Til
den debated the tariff question with
Horace Greeley. He was a tariff re-
form advocate then, aud he has been a
tariff reform man ever since, and in
1876 was elected President of the Uni.
ted States on C tariff reform platform.
Here is the declaration of the st. Lou
is convention:
1--WE denounce the present tariff
levied upon nearly 1000 articles, as a
masterpiece of injustice, inequality
and false pretense. 1t yields a dwin-
ding, not IA yearly rising revenue. 1t
has impoverished many industries to
subsidize few. 1t prohibits imports
that might purchase the products OF
American labor. 1t has degraded
American commerce from the first to
an inferior rank on the high seas. II
has cut down the sales of American
manufacturers at home and abroad
and depleted the returns of American
Agricultural industry followed hy
half of our people. 1t costs the people
five times more than it produces TO the
treasury, Obstructs the process of pro-
ductiOn, and wastes the fruits of labor.
It promotes fraud, fosters smuggling,
| enriches dishonest officials, aud bank
rupts honest merchants. We demand
that all custom house taxation shall be
only for revenue"

THE Protective Tariff is device by
which the labOrer in all the manufac-
turing industries is :orced to accept
less for his labor than it is worth, and
by which the consuming laborer of
every description, and everywhere, is
forced to pay for everything he con-
sumes more than it is worth! And
thus by reducing the price of labor,
and increasing the necessary expenses
of the laborer, it is doubly oppressive,
Like candle lighted at both ends, are
the profits or labor melted away and
consumed by the operations ofa system
ingrafted into our Government under
the false aud deceitful pretense of fos
tering and protecting American in
dustry" 1t is wholesale oppression
not only of the labor of our own
country, but of every country with
which we have commercial dealings.
The system is politically, economically
and morally wrong, and criminally

Tne Recordora a Broken Oath.

preserved this record of solemn oath:

ted TO the commission of which ! am
a member, and true judgment give
thereon, agreeably to the constitution
and the laws; SO help me God"
The Commission was the Electoral
Commission of 1877. The form of the
oath, there is reason to believe, was
devised by George +. Edmunds him.
self. 1t is absolutely certain that he
subscribed to it.
Among the queatiOns submitted to
the Commission of which George +.
Edmunds was II member, were two OF
supreme Importance: Was the vote
of Florida cast for Tilden or for Hayes?
Was the vote of Louisiana cast for
Tilden or for Hayes?
Instead of impartially examining
and considering these questions, the
Commission refused to examine or
consider them at all. Eight members
steadily voted to violate the oath which
they had just taken. George Il. Ed
munds was one of the eight. His vote
shut the door in the face of justice and
right. ., .H -+

Gen. Ben Butler is a delegate to the
Democratic National Convention to
convene in Chicago In July. He has
not been delegate to a National Con-
vention before, since he represented
Massachusetts in 1860, in the National
Democratic at Charleston, s. c., where
he voted Sc consecutive times to NOM
mate JEFF Davis for President. During
the "a Intervening years he has boxed
the compass pretty effectually, party
wise, having been everything by
turns and nothing long"
Since 1860 he has been distinguished
Republican member of Congress, and
having cOquetted with Greenbackers,
aud other factious reformers," now
turns up as Democratic delegate to a
National Con vention. Will he be an
element of discord or of harmony in
the Convention at Chicago? He is
older. and ought to be wiser than he
was at Charleston in 1860. But is he -?

THE greed for gain is alarming, and
especially so as it is becoming mania
among hitherto honest business men
and respectable society people, to that
extent that they leave the regular lines
of business, and legitimate trade and
speculation, to indulge in "catch I"
and snap" games for the purpose of
increasing their gains and enriching
themselves. When this proclivity is
INDUCED in it is usually encouraged
to not stop short of any and every hid.
den sort that promises to fleece the
pockets of the protector, and his hid
den guilt will be INDUCED until, by
some unexpected slip or slide he has
been exposed. These exposures gen.
orally come by failures, and the failure

The State of Maine has possessed
Neal Dow and enjoyed legislated pro-
hibitiOn, 10, these many years, and
now it is proposed to have constitu-
tutional prohibition, through an
amendment to the State constitution.
The statistics show that notwithstand-
ing prohibition and all that that i'm
plies, the United States government
has quite handsome revenue from
the internal revenue liquor licenses
issued in that State. The figures are
furnished from the collectors Office.
Retail licenses issued since May /, 'S3,
twelve hundred and forty-eight ;
wholesale, licenses, seven; total num-
ber of licensts, !, ,255. The population
of Maine is $50, 900, SO that there is one
licensed liquor dealer for every 5lS OF
the inhabitants of Maine, men women
and children. In the city of Portland,
with a population of $4,000. there are
2O3 licensed liquor dealers, or one Ii
censed liquor seller for every 1T of the
inhabitants. This is practical, sta.
