One of the most significant speeches Of The
campaign is published part on another page of
this issue. Colonel William NJ. GrosycnOr was for
many years one of the ablcst and most logical
controycr-ialsts on the free trade side. In this
address. delivered before the Union League
of Philadelphia, he gave his reasons for tcyers-
inl his former judgment and for earnestly op-
posing change of the present economic system
The chief of these reasons was that the enOi-
nous growth of industries In drcc ions deter
mined by Republican policy had rendered the
theories once upheld by him no longer ionablc.
What hc had once doubted, questioned and re-
icctc had been demonstrated, and he could not
shut hia eyes 10 the truth. The facts called roi
new conclusions. and ho waa not afraid 10 form

AROTE PETTY PERSONAL ISSUES.

In the States which have no manufactures
and whose labor is strictly agricultural, 1.-THE
Democrats make open fight on the protective
tariff.
They tell the farmers that British free trade
will cause competition with American products
and reduce the prices of all the things farmers
consume. They take care not to say that our
well paid labor cannot stand this competition
with paupcr labor and that the end of the
struggle will be the ruin of our manufacturers,
the mpovcrishmcnt of orr working people, and,
when the foreigners have won the fight, higher
prices for goods and wares than the farmers
paid under protection. In the manufacturing
States, the Democrats carefully conceal their
free trade issue, and nosily fill the air with
snow storm Of Mulligan letters, scandals,
ISLANDERS and lies.
There is but one issue in this canvass; and
that is British free trade.

raised nj the recent meeting In less than hitccn
mnutcs. The most favorable results are To bc
expected from the clubs determination to DO
true to its name and to participate IN the labors
and triumphs of the Republican cause.
The anti Blaine members of the former gov
erninp committees have committed the grave
blunder of uniting in q card OF resignation OF
membership In the club. This was mistake,
because it disclosed the bitterness or their
hostility to the Republican cause, which had
previously been concealed. In appealing to the
club to sustain them they raised false Issue.
They ostensibly made local issues the ground OF
their action, and sought to convey the inn
preston that the club could keep out OF the
Presidential canvass without prejudice to Mr..
Blainc's chances. The members were not de.
ceived. but by a large majority voted against
this shallow scheme of neutrality, knowing
that the clubs abstentiOn from the National
canvass would be generally regarded rs defeat
for Mr.. Blaine. The sore heads of the govern
ing committees, having raised this false issue
and appealed for support on the score OF
loyalty to the interests of the club, have now
Joined in a letter of resignation of membership,
and with few exceptions have taken places In
the Democratic Independent Committee. They
have done this i'm the. desperate hope OF In
1uencng other members to resign. Having
failed to induce the club to repudiate the Re-
publican cause, they turn against tho Organiza-
ton ITSELF for which they were making week
ago proflsc professions of attachment, and, seek
to break it down. Their treacherOus conduct
will be secuted by the loyal members of the
,rpaniZatiOu,

the decrease in customs receipts has been nearly

Is remarked by one journal that this shows the
verify Of the burden which our people have to bear
and with curious innocence. it remarks they do not
realize those burdens. That 10 true. because they
really are not burdens. In the first place. con-
siderable part of tho is I'm reality paid by
