AN ALARM BELL.

The great majority Of northern people
went into the war for the purpose OF
preserving the Union. They denied
the right of a state to secede and break
up the Union. Any person DESTROYS of
being convinced that the election of MIR.
LINCOLN was nothing beyond q declara-
ton of war against slavery can be salts
fled by reading a very candid and re-
markable book called I,AMIN's Life OF
LINCOLN. The most astute body of men
that ever organized were the Abolition
lists who precipitated the "irrepressible
conflict" doctrine. The only prominent
candidates for" the Republican nomina-
ton were SEWARD and LINCOLN who had
invented the explosive. At that time
their idea was to precipitato an issue
which they knew would result in war,
and they, more than the secessionists of
the south, were responsible for the adj
verse fronting of the two sections in bat
tie array.
An yet there was what is generally
conceded to be a main question settled
by that war, and this is the question:
Shall even the pretense of the right of q
state to secede from the union be adj
mitted? In other words, the seeding
states admit as the result Of the war,
that the right Of secession is abandoned
forever.
HUNTER, ToohBs, STEPHENs, WISE
and MR.. DAVIS himself, with all the
:n.t IS ,n,ttar, atofnor,ap ap~ranI
that the admission was a neces-
sity and a direct consequence
of defeat itself, but they, like
all thinking mon, deplored the
consequences which might result
from a conflict between national
and state rights, in which the former
was SO overwhelmingly successful.
They laughed at the idea of any more
secession during this century, or per-
haps for all time, but they feared and
~nervously apprebended the encroach-
ment and abuse Of federal power.
No wiser. or more far-seeing men ever
lived than the southern leaders, and
their lively fears are being gradually
realized. The Ohio election has dis
closed to the people of every
section a Pandora's box that must
be not only crushed, but burned
in the crucible Of public in
dignation and the very ground upon
which it was exposed be fumigated.
Never since the bell in the Boston chap
pei tOlled forth its note Of warning to
the patriots of Concord and, Lexington,
has American liberty been in greater
danger than it stands to-day. What
means this array OF deputy marshals at
a state election in Ohio? Can't the sher-
III take care OF their public days without
the intervention of United States Off
Gals? What is the special necessity OF
using the governmental machinery for
state elections-for engaging the popn-
lace by appointing negro deputy mar
shals to shoot down citizens when the
United States is by no means a party to
the contest prccIpitated by themselves.
1t may perhaps, be more pertinent for
the people of Ohio to PROFOUND these in
terogatorios--tm,t they should complain.
of their rights being violated. This has
truth in it. but we of the south, know
the demonstration in Chic is but
the printing of the u that is to be shot
into our bosom on the 4th of November.

The Henrietta Shield speaks encour-
agingly of its town and county, and
says: notwithstanding the cry of hard
times we notice improvements going on
in all parts of the city. Homes are being
improved and beautifed, new store
houses are being built. Our mechanics
are busy and there has not been a single
failure with our merchants this year."

BLAlNE'S PROTECTION ARCU-
MENT,

Tho Republican candidate for the
presidency must think that the Ameri-
can people are a set Of fools. His letter
Of acceptance was either an insult to
popular intelligence or a fearful COM
mentary on his own. But now he I'M
burdens himself in Ohio on the subject
Of the tariff in a most ridiculous manner
In his remarkable Bsllairs talk he
said that in a manufacturing establish
ment with $500 600 capital, only about
$1,000 was expended for material against
S495 600 for labor! A tariff that pro-
protects such IN establishment
therefore protects 5000 of ma
terial and $495,OOO of labor! This
was in effect exactly his line Of argyll
ment. A man who would address such
stuff to an intelligent audience ought to
DO Missed down. He is either a fool or
takes his audience for fools.
Such an establishments capital has
nothing to do with protection. 1t is the
goods manufactured and sold by the
company that enter into the tariff prob
lem. If they sell $2,OO0,OOO worth of
goods there is a virtual bounty given
the manufacturer of over 100000. 1t is
the profit he is enabled to make. Do the
laborers get any of that bountyH
Not a cent!
But not only do these manufacturers
obtain from the government al average
protection Of 33h per cent, but the ma
spr,try Of fharn INV ,ai 1ohDroro IN nnndo
at the factory store, upon which they
charge at least 100 per cent. profit. In a
word, the laborers get about 10 per cent.
to the manufacturers 90 per cent. OF the
profits of the establishment.
But BLAINE's figures are otherwise
totally unreliable. In a case of such
magnitude as he mentions, the plant in
which labor has no interest will cost at
least sl5O,OOO to 100000. Salaries of
officers will take up for tho
first year at least $4,000, and
the remainder OF the money will go into
raw material, and not to pay labor. La
Dor has no direct interest in at least
$4OO,OO of the capital. The laborer's pay
comes out of the profits of the concern.
Government enables the proprietor, by
a tariff, to make an enormous profit off
his own workmen as well as strangers.
and he does so. He takes 80 per
cent. of it and gives 10 per cent. to tho
men who make his fortune FOR him.
Where is labor protectedp
But further. AS oon as these work
men demand a more equitable division,
the proprietor, as BLAINE in West Vir-
ginia, turns off tho Americans and en-
ploys European pauper labor at twenty
five cents per day, profits remaining the
the same. Isn't this protecting labor
with a vengeance?

IT is only eighteen days until the
election, but in these eighteen days a
dates for legislative, county and pre-
cinct offices should begin to whoop up
things from this time on. We have had
no speaking to mention, scarcely any

time for torch-light professions and
street corner orations, as well as the ST.

RECKLESS ia MES G.

The original unqualified denial by
BlAINE of the Kentucky business COM
pared with his late letter, shocked the
moral sense Of the people, whilst his re-
fusal to vote on the prohibition question
in Maine evinced q want ofmanly indie
pendenco that Disguised all who felt an
interest in that question. But the New
York Herald of the sth has produced "A
specimen of his reckless audacity that
caps tho climax of infamous mendacity.
1t was charged on the Republican
nominee that he had been n large stock
holder of a company that had purchased
land in the Hooking valley, said to DO
rich in iron-ore, timber and coal. On
the 22d of July, 1881, he denied in sletter
published by the Herald to n
Nix. BuNDy that he aver had a cents
worth OF interest in any such concern.
On the 18th of this month he again writes:
81 do not own and never did own an
acre of coal land or any other kind of
land in the Hooking valley or any other
part of Ohio" The Hope Furnace Asso-
citation was the name of the company,
and o ONE the Herald with fac SIM
lies of two letters which read as follows.
1t must be remembered in the neal
time, however, that subsequently the
Hope Furnace Tract Association was
consolidated with the Standard Coal and
Iron company on n basis of $4,000 at par
of the consolidated company's bonds for
a $25 5000 block in tho Hope Tract Associ-
ation."
