II Has Not Done So.

Almost invariably, during the past
forty years, has Congress turned
squarely against the President in the
middle of his term-in the middle of
Tyler's administration by a historic
revolt in the middle of Fillmore's by
another revolt; in the middle of
Pierce's in the middle of Johnson's ;
in the middle of Grants in the mid
die of Arthur's. So it was the trad
itional and foreordained thing for
Congress to turn against Cleveland
now. 1t has not done so. Historic
precedent fails. Analogy is defeated.
The Fiftieth Congress will be in
harmony with the President--Wash.
ington Post.

to the revenue which the government
needed, it is not easy to ascertain.
Those competent to judge have
estimated it at not less than a thousand
millions per annum.
This fagitious system of taxation
has been defended on the ground that
il was for the benefit of the working
man. Those who were the chief
sufferers from it were thus persuaded
to be its chief defenders.
But the most effective aid which
the protectionists have had has been
found in the popular indifference to
the subject. For more than twenty
years those who saw the truth have
found it impossible to get the atten-
ton of their countrymen. All parties
have avoided the issue, the Republic
cans from q desire that the people
should not be awakened, the Demo
Gratis by reason of n not unnatural
reluctance to meet the perils of q
doubtful contest.
The revenue reformers have longed
for an opportunity to present the ques-
ton of the tariff to the people. They
have not misunderstood the response
bilities which they were eager to as
sumo. They know we'll how long and
how difficult and doubtful the struggle
must be. To enlightened the igno-
rant, and to overthrow a system which
is supported by vast combinations of
money, and by the prejudices of race
MS we'll as of class, is task which no
one will undervalue. But, seeing
clearly the truth of their own opinions,
and also the monstrous and cruel in
Justice which protection works, and
most of all upon those whom it pre-
tends to benefit, the revenue reformers
have long waited for the day which
has come Mt last.
There is now no danger of further
delays. There will be no more dodg-
ing by conventions nor by Congress.
We will not hereafter hear much
about equitable tariffs and incidental
protection. AT last there is promise
that the issue will be squarely joined
between those who wish that taxes
shall be levied for their profit, and
those who are determined that all
taxes shall be for public purposes
only.-N. Y. Star.

The Otsego Herald has the follow
ing to say regarding Frank A. Bald.
win the Representative in State
Legislature, for this district:
Now that it is settled that Mr.. F.
A. Baldwin has been elected as our
next Representative in the State Legis-
lature from this district, it will be
appropriate and proper to make few
remarks in reference to him by way of
enlightening a goodly number who
know not of him. Mr.. Baldwin was
born in Fremont, o., August IA, 1853.
He was admitted to the bar in that
city after passing a rigid examination
in 1879. He graduated from the law
department of the State in the class
of 1877, earned his own way through
scientific class in the Northwestern
Normal School at Republic, O., grad
uating in 1873 in the first class
graduated from said school. He also
earned by teaching school sufficient
funds to defray all his expenses while
taking course at the law department
in this State. He located at Gaylord
in 1879, since which time he has been
practicing law in this county. He has
held the Office of Town Treasurer,
and during the past two years was
Deputy County Treasurer under Chas.
S. Brink, Treasurer, and performed
all of the work, assuming all of the
responsibility of that office to the sat-
isfaction of the people of the county.
He has held the Office of County
School Examiner in this county since
the new system was established in the
State. He is a good, clean man, in
the prime of life, abundantly endowed
with energy and ability, and will
worthily and honorably represent this
growing and important district in the
next Legislature.

The defeat of Mr.. Morrison was
brought about by the eastern protec.
tionists. They sent an agent into his
district to address the workingmen,
and. gave him an ample supply Of
money to buy those whom his argu-
ment did not convince. But, already
those who planned this plot and car
ried cit to success begin to doubt
whether their victory will be of any
value to them.
For twent Five years the protection
lists have had their own way. They
have been able to MAINTAIN system of
taxation out of which they made great
profits. Taxes have been levied, not
for the purpose of meeting the neces-
sites of the government, but to raise
the prices of commodities so that the
manufacture of them should be prof.

been taken from the people in addition

Come Again, James G.

The only district in Pennsylvania
in which Mr. Blaine made personal
appeal to the voters in behalf of the
Republican candidate for Congress
was the Twelfth, which is now repre-
sented by Hon. Joseph A. Scranton.
Both in Scranton and in Wilkesbarre
the Maine statesman earnestly implor-
cd his audiences to remember Scranton
at the ballot box and they did it by
giving majority of upward of 500
for John Lynch the Democratic cam
didate. Come again, Mr.. Blaine

For the last ten days of the canvass
Republican speakers held forth on
every corner of the Upper Peninsula
and the burden of their cry was
"tariff. tariff, more tariff; give us pro-
lection or give us death" The fight
in the Peninsula was made on distinc-
lively tariff lines drawn by the
Republicans, and the result is shown
in the gain of 1000 votes by John
Power since two years ago. AS Re-
publican stronghold the Upper
Peninsula is becoming pretty doubt

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER II, 1856
From AIaskn

a correspondent OF the Boise Democrat
writes from San Francisco as follows
W. >. Beadley and myself arrived here q
rev days ago from the Yucon River.
where we have spent the summer pros,
Pectlng on the upper Yucon and Stewart
rivers, and although we have been the
whole length Of the former and $50 miles
Oh the latter we have seen nothing to ius-
NY any one going there in search of gold
mat there is gold in the interior of
Alaska there is no doubt, but the seasons
are SO short and the country so hard to
get into, that one must have very rich
,d,lgglngs to justify them in going there.
me discoveries have 50 far been on the
ukon river, the mouth of Salmon river
ana on Stewards river, the latter being
the richer find. Five men who have
spent three years on the Stewart
nave made between $4,000 and $4,000
each, and they made it all last year.
Three OF them have left the country, the
others are still prospecting. The gold is
similar to that found on Snake river, very
fine and hard to save. No discoveries
nave been made excepting bar diggings,
ana the bars only pay at the head The
working season will not exceed ten weeks
on account OF frost and high water, SO it
is easily seen that one must strike il rich
to stay there.
