Cleveland and the Tariff

The omission of Mr.. Cleveland to men
ton the tariff in his letter is regarded as a
confession that he knows nothing about
the tariff or that he meant to dodge the
question. If he is ignorant concerning a
matter of so much Importance to the coun-
try, the greatest involved in the President
ial campaign, he is unfit on that account.
to be the candidate OF a great party for
the Presidency. There is not a mau, wo-
man. or child in the United States uninter-
ested in the tariff It is a question which
comes directly home to every citizen
Every civilized nation on the face of the
earth makes tia study. In this growing coun
try of ours, in which our manufacturing in
dustres are young and are brought into
competition with the capital, experience,
skill and cheap labor of the long
established industries of Europe, the en-
enlargement and protection of our manu-
features aud labor in the United States is
and should be the paramount subject in
our politics Is Mr.. Cleveland so igno-
rant as not to know this2 Does he, like
General Hancock. believe the tariff is
only local question" of no general
public Importance
If the other proposition be true that
Cleveland avoided saying anything about
the tariff in order to keep in the
dark his real views, the omis-
sion is weak, cowardlv subterfuge
and evasion. unworthy of candidate for
the Presidency, aud an insult to the peo-
pie of.the United States. They have a
right to know before voting for a candi-
date what his opinions are upon important
questions at issue in the campaign. He
cannot act the sphinx and expect their
sutfrages Mr.. Blaine has declared frank
ly his opinion upon all important ques-
tons entering into the election. They
are read and known of all men. But the
democratic candidate is absolutely dumb
on the most important question of all,
leaving the people entirely in ignorance
upon that matter in which they ought to
have the greatest knowledge.
II was the more necessary that Mr..
Cleveland should speak openly and at
length upon the tariff because the demo-
cratic platform is so ambiguous that it may
be construed in one State in one way and
in other States take on different meaning
It was expected that his letter of accept
ance would explain or define and MAKE
clear to the understanding of people of
intelligence where he aud his party stand
in regard to protection and free trade.
Mr.. Carlisle and the tree traders say the
democratic platform is for free trade. and
General Butler says it is opposed to pro-
lection. while others claim Just the oppo'
site. Mr.. Cleveland should have removed
all doubt about the matter. but he has
passed it without word, and left the
people to conjecture and doubt.
4 man therefore, who votes for Cleve-
land will vote for candidate who either
knows nothing about the tariff. or if he
has an opinion has not the courage to
express it. But the man who votes for
Blaine knows where he stands on the
tariff and in what direction he viii exert
his influence if elected.

VIM. r. McEwen. Esq, OF Wellsville,
n Y, a prominent republican and the
proprietor of an extensive foundry and
machine establishment, is authority for
the statement that Blaine will make gain
of $50 in that township on a total vote of
one thousand This is in the western part
of the State, where Cleveland is best
known, and where the glamour of reform
can be seen from home standpoint.

Whist method the committee will adopt to
promote democratic success in the West we
do not know; but, in view of the admissions
Of the Buffalo Courier, it would seem that
the best way to promote democratic success
both East and West would be to secure,
if possible. the withdrawal of Mr. Cleve-
land from the democratic ticket and the sub
stitution for him of a man whose personal
record will not require either apology
or defense. The nomination of Mr. Blaine
afforded the democratic party an excellent

A Few Reasons why the Augusta, Maine,
Edition VIII Outssn All Others
Ten 20 One.
lst Because II Is the authentic edition published
from Augusta. the home Of Blaine, and has had the
advantage Of the most complete knowledge oil ms
whole life.
81. Because Mr.. Blaine and his friends co-operat-
ed witt the author and publishers in order that the
work might be most complete and correct In all
particulars.
Sd Because Col ConwelI is better fitted for writ
ing such a volume than any other man In America;
all his earnestness, knowledge, and ability viii De
found in the volume.
4th Because in its manufacture ii is the largest,
best, and handsomest book ever published Tor the
price that is sold for. Let no one think OF work
ing for any other edition; do for one dollar
what you just well receive $1,000 for you can
sell ten books Of the Augusta edition where yo1
would hardly sell one of any other.
5th. Because our volume is a pictorial biography.
and illustrates the most interesting scenes In the
life Of the candidate. Our volume is spendidly
illustrated
9th. Because the author has visited the scenes
Of the early life OF the distinguished statesman and
familiar with the of the boy and youth, from
the statements of those still living there who knew
him then; this is intensely interesting portion OF
the volume.

Still at III.

The Globe and Post of Boston. the Port
| land Argus, and other democratic news
papers, seem to consider lie well stuck
to as good as the truth, for political uses.
They will learn their mistake. They seem
to think the voters of to-day are interested
/ in what the Kennebec Journal taught
/ thirty years since. They continue TO re-
peat that this paper was know-nothlng
organ in that distant period. There is any
amount of evidence to show the entire
untruth OF these reiterated statements OF
the present democratic sheets. We will
give but the positive testimony OF the
Augusta Age, the democratic organ OF
/ former years.
/ January 5. 1856, the Age remarked in
regard to the sale of the Ellsworth Ameri-
can to republican owners:
BRO. Cheney has at last yielded. and
sold out THE ONLY KNOW NOTHING
ORGAN in the State. We shall miss
BRO. Cheney from the corps. We kind
..ly wish him success in the future"
Under the direction of Mr.. Cheney the
I Ellsworth American was very much OPP
posed to the republican party. and had
greatly pleased the democrats.
The democratic Age of Augusta tolera-
/ bly, well understood the facts and affairs oil
/ its time.
! When the democratic Globe, Post, and
Argus of to-day directly contradict the
democratic Age of thirty years ago,
they not only LIE, but they know that
they LIE, and also know that an intelli-
gent public knows that they LIE. Alas
when will democratic editors learn the
wickedness and folly of using falsehoods
against the granite solidity OF Truth and
Common Sense. September and Novem-
Der are speedily to teach them.

The Truth of History

One OF the squarest mathematical lies
which certain democratic sheets are now
repeating is that the A. sos votes cast tor
Arson p. Morrill, in 1854, were by Know
Nothings. That vote was chiefly made up
OF the H. 900 Morrill, democrats. 5000
free soilers and 900 to $4,000 anti
slavery whigs-s substantially the same men
who had previously co-operated in the
election of VIM Pitt Fessenden to the
United States Senate. Had the Know
Nothing organization never existed, An
son P. Morrill, would have had nearly the
same vote in 1854, and quite as many in
1855.

BIGAMY.
Wife No. 2 Sends Her Fraudulent
Husband to Jail.

good many centuries ago, a worthy gen
tleman, named Mr.. David, celebrated for
his writings, discovered that the heart of man
was deceitful, and that in its unregenerate
state the world was given to lying. Either
Alexander o. Young, who was arrested by De-
tective Walsh yesterday, for bigamy, is a
very much abused Individual, or else he is
the champion liar. In either case the wo-
man who bears his name finds herself in
position decidedly awkward.
On the Goth of last February, Young
wooed and won the heart and hand of
maiden named Amanda Larson, who re-
side with her relatives in this city. Recently
she discovered that she was not the only
woman who hore his name, and that in short
he had awife residing in Michigan. As nearly
as could be ascertained few years ago he
married widow lady residing in an interior
town Of Michigan. At that time it is said
he sailed under the name of Oleson. Be-
coming weary of his sponse he deserted her
and came to st. Paul. Here he was formerly
bartender in an East Fourth street saloon,
and it was here he met Miss Larson.
On making the discovery that wife No. 1
resided in Michigan, No. 2 swore out war
rant for his arrest. He was brought before
Judge Burr, pleaded guilty, waived examina-
ton, and was committed in default of $3.50
bail,
