Government sent out large number of
native young men to be trained in the col

countries. Of these the United States re-
ceived. perhaps. $50. Ten years ago most
OF these students were recalled to Japan.

and the sending out of Iwakura As the
minister of Japan to the United States.
naturally induced number of Japanese
merchants to come here. But it was
much more the great artistic success of

Exposition in 1876 that has caused the
immigration to reach its present propro-

The Way tOInvite Hard Times

If workingmen, farmers OF any
others complain Of duh times, they
should reflect upon one Of the great
causes-the existence OF demo
cratic majority in Congress, and
the manifest disposition Of the
democratic party to strike a deadly
blow at Americana manufacturing
and industry by adopting a free
trade or "revenue only tariff. Men
hesitate to launch ont in business
enterprises which may by the cut
ting down of the tariff lead to sud-
den ruin. No numbering, mining
or manufacturing firms dare push
their business, but are rather fore
ed to retrench, because the protec-
ton offered by the tariff is threat.
ened. If the people should elect
another democratic congress next
November it would be warning to
every business employing working
men to stand from under, as free
trade would be coming; and the re-
suit would probably be harder than
we're ever before known III TINS
country. Every vote cast for a
democratic nominee for Congress
CHS year will be a vote to invite
hard times.

Worse heu than the Florentlne saw

A fnrrow is plowed by each ball,

To step where their covers fall.
Still pours the hot. tempest against the

Though the gray troopers charso On 'ne''

Their gallant old leader is slainl
But they boldly press on IN the way ne

Though repulsed yet again and again.

What hand sped the bullet 50 cruel to Kill

As they fancy a victory near;
When the Tennessee army, like a shrek

Take this fair rose she said, "and think

And as she spoke her soft eyes filed
with tears.
We parted; hoped each other soon 10 see;
An wheni 1t might be after many years.
IL was a summer evening, soft the air;
In rosy clouds the red sun sank away.
The zephrys soft brought AOwery fra

And in the darling's hair Of richest gold,

Perhaps she has forgotten-dOes not greve,
But on another's bosom finds repose,
While all remembrance Of that summer

Has long since faded like this little rose.

ed in 1861 the exports from the
United States have been vastly
greater in amount and value than
all the exports from the first settle
ment of an English colonist on this
continent, down to the Inaugural
tion of President Lincoln. Cheers.
| think that is worth repeating.
Yes, Yes. If you take every ex'
port that was ever made from the
territory which constitutes the
United States, from the time of
settlement at jamestown and at
Plymouth rock, in 1907 and 1920,
clear down to 1860, and add them
together, they fail by several thOus-
and million dollars to be as great
in amount as our exports from 1861
to this time, so that the assertion
that a protective tariff hinders the
development of the commerce of
the country is not only disproved
by facts, but the directly contrary
is true, for agriculture and manu-
features and commerce go hand in
hand, and were designed to go
hand in hand. They are triple
cords which, bound together, make
up the strength of national pros
perity. / assume, therefore, that
the people of Ohio are interested in
maintaining protective tariff, and
if they are it is in their power to
do it. Ohio speaks her voice on
Tuesday next. This district will
then have an opportunity to speak
her voice and say whether one Of
the most brilliant advocates of
protection that ever served in con-
gress shall be returned. Cheers
for Mr.. Mckinley, With this op-
portunity to vindicate by your votes
splendid experience which Ohio
has had in developing her agricul-
tural and manufacturing interests
together, it is for you men of Ohio,

cord your opinion and your judg-
ment. | thank you for your cor
dial reception, and bid you good

From Il Private Confederate
Soldier

.uess. Boone f. Hedrick
AS the campaign is becoming
very hot, especially for the Bour-
bon Democracy, will you give a
subscriber TO the Southwest and
an old private Confederate soldier
a small amount of space in your
journal? Every poor man who en-
listed in the late war, and fought
~hat we now believe to he the rich
man battles, knows full well the
many proniiaes made the poor men,
by these s% nlled Democrats.
We were promisN'hat if we would
90 into the army thai cur wrSOs
and families would be protected
that they should never want for
nothing; that the rich mans smoke
house, cribs, &C., would be thrown
open, and our families provided
with the necessities of life. Did
they fulfill their promises? No,and
now it becomes every poor man in
Bland, and in the Union to vote
for and cast their lot with that par
tv which we know to be our friends.
The Republican party is the poor
mans party, and it behooyes every
man to rally to the support OF
Blaine, Logan and Bailey, as the
standard bearers of this party. VIII

WOrkmen and the Tariff
Baltimore American.

BalllulOfe AmtIlCtus
The 'arge and continued acc es-
sion from the ranks of the working
men to the Republican cause is,
perhaps, the most instructive
feature Of,he campaign. 1t shows
indisputaby that a high protective
tariff is the means by which they
obtain the nest wages paid any
where in the world. OF course,
they have beM addressed by all
shades of tarf men. They have
been told that Z reform in the tariff
would rebound 20 their good, and
that the abolition of high Protec-
ton would lead % a better and
brighter condition of affairs in the
industrial world. This is all very
good as far as mere say.so is con-
cerned; but are such assertion up
held by the fact 2 hey are not.
Wages paid in this country, where
high Protection prevails, are from
% to 60 per cent. higher than those
paid in Free. Trade England, and
yet the Democrats want to say that
a lowering of the tariff willimprove
the condition of the labOring classes
In 1880 Germany renounced Free
Trade and adopted Protection
What has been the result? In less
than four years her iron worker;
have increased from 153,979 t
2O6, 100, and wages have advanced
ia per ce MT. There are facts
which snow just what part the
Tariff plays in the welfare of the
workingmen. Orators can harangut
until doomsdy without making
Free. Trade an industrial benefit.
1t is easy tosee, therefore, why
the laboring casses are flocking to
the Bepublica party. 1t is the
only political organic alton which
guarantees prtection necessary to
the full prosperity of the country.

Is Beecher "a Liar ?

A VERY BAD MEMORY " HE ISN'T.

DETROIT, MICH, Oct. 8.-Mr.
Alger sent the following dispatch
to the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher
today:
Dear Sir: Confirming my i'm
pressions given in my letter to you
of Yesterdays date, have this
day received the following cable
gram from Mr. JOY:
LONDON, Oct. 8, ls84-ALGER,
Detroit: Ijudge from New York
kilograms that Beecher wholly mis-
recollects his conversation with me.
No such talk as stated by them
ever took place. JOY,
OF course, | have no means OF
knowing the contents of the tele-
grams mentioned, but have no
doubt they give in substance your
version of the matter. Now, reyer.
end sir, submit to you as gen.
tleman, after having received the
hospitality of Mr.. Joy in his own
home, and when it is so evident
that you are doing Mr.. Joy, Mr..
Blaine, and the republican party
so great a wrong, in the course
you are pursuing, that it is your
plain duty, in justice to all parties,
publicly to retract your statements,
as you have in your zeal for the
democratic party and the democra-
tic nominee spread them before the
whole country, especially SO when
you recollect that there is no claim
set up that Mr.. Joy ever saw Mr.
Blaine personally concerning the
affair, but that the whole matter,
whatever it was, came through
third parties, who we're doubtless
trying to drive a sharp bargain
without any knowledge or consent
on the part of Mr.. Blaine.
