TARIFF TALKS.
Yesterday afternoon Journal reporter had a
talk with Fl D. Babcock of Leonardsvilie,
suburb of Utica, New Yark, who is in the city
for few days Mr. Babcock is a manufacturer
of agricultural implements, steam-heating ap-
paratuses, and wide range Of other articles
He was asked if he thought the State of New
York would carry for the Republican ticket
"There's now little doubt about it, and the ma
jority will likely range from 10000 to $4,000
The tariff can not be kept out of the contest
AS if this were not enough, look at the attitude
of Tammany, which is practically unchanged,
for the Endorsement of Cleveland is hollow
mockery. But the tariff is enough. | consider
that if the Democratic presidential ticket should
be elected l could not make any plows for
the future; there would be nothing to base any
business calculations upon, as everything would
be disturbed by fear of tariff thinkers ard free
traders Nine hundred and ninety-nine man
ufacturers out of thousand. in my State feel
exactly as do. We certainly do not want the
tariff interfered with-let alone absolute free
trade, as the majority OF the Democratic mem
bers of Congress and leaders of that party
clamof for. New York farmers understand that
any serious Interference with the tariff is det
rimental to their interests. Kill the
business of manufacturing, turn the
employees out lock the factory doors,
and the ti'ler of the soil suffers, as the market
for his produce is to great extent destroyed
In 1872 the manufacturing interests of Utica
were exceedingly small. we have extensive cot
ton and wooden mills there now employing 1000
operatives. In 1912 free trade closed the cotton
mills, and hundreds of workmen were thrown
out of work The mills could not run at all
petition sent to Congress, signed not only
by mill operatives, but by every farmer in
Oneida county, to have the tariff on manufac-
tured goods restored, so that their manufacture
could be resumed. 1t is unnecessary to say that
some old fellows in Utica remember these
things, and the young ones have all heard Of it.
and any talk of free trade frightens the people
Phe workmen. understand the tariff question as
well as the employers. Most OF the working
men of Utica ara trades unionists Utica Is a
Democratic city, but Blaine will carry it by
from 200 to 900 majority solely on the tariff
issue. / have an Englishnian in my employ you
ought to talk free trade to- He has been with
me fourteen years. When he came to this
country he had nothing absolutely nothing
He is now worth more than 5000 all money
made and saved by daily labor. He is free to
say no workman in England prospers so; that
free trade while it enriches the manufacturer
there, degrades and impoverishes the workman
Here it would pull us all down together

THE Republicans are making vigorous ightin
Louisiana" he said, and in view of the fact that
there is an honest Republican majority Of at
least 25 900 in the State, and that we intend to
have representation on the election boards
there is strong assurance that we will carry the
State Heretofore, the election boards have
been composed exclusively of Democrats, and
the election has been wholly controlled by them,
The great sugar rehners and the representatives
of all business interests are showing much con-
Germ in the tariff issue, and they are with the
Republicans. There nearly one hundred
confederate Blaine and Logan Protection Clubs

Louisiana will go Republican"
