o,ons when they read the speeches with
,ybicb General Logan and General Beaver
o,encd the campaign at Pittsburg. 1t is very |
offensive old story to these advocates ol Dri'-
ish interests, and they may be sure uia' 'hoy
will hear 1t in every campaign uh'h uliey ~
longer try to govern this country accounting W
British ideas and for British interests. AN eieo-
non is coming, and the free-trade organs oeein
already the dishonest plea that the tariff Is
not an issue, that it is impcrhnent 10 discuss
that question, and that the voters ought 10
think. and do think, about something else
General Beaver, the Republican candidate
for Governor of Pennsylvania, ana senator
Logan. of Illinois, opened the pennsylvania
can,najpn on Saturday with speeches OF unusfA
force General Beaver dealt blow which VIII
bc felt in every part of Pennsylvania when nc
said that Eastern Democrats pretended 10 NC iii
favor Of protection, and yet In every instance
voted with the Free Traders for such speaker
os Mr. Carlisle. thus securing the organization
of all the committees in hostility to the protec-
two tariff The selection of Mr.. Morrison as
Wovs and Means chairman shook all indus
tr,. "causcd capital to shrink and labor to
desmond. and brought upon the country an era
of uncertainty and doubt" and yet MIR. Randall
and other Eastern Democrats voted Tor lusU
such an organization, as obcdent subjects OF
Marty organization which Free Traders entirely
control The folly of throwing away vote
| needed this year for the defence of home indus
| fry upon temperance ticket which CANNOT INC
| elected. and the fact that the Republican plat
| form on that subject is lin the very words OF
| one Of the most constant and devoted temper
ance men in Pennsylvania were 1orclply
| stated in this address.
| Caneral Logan made one suggestion when
every conscientious independent voter VINO
has really sought reform in government OF CHIT
To soberlv consider Thousands of them voted
| for change two wears ago, in order TO ascertain
| what truth there was in Democratic assertions
| +bo+ the nublic service was full of rascality
q After the most minute and panstaking scru-
tinv of every transaction for twenty five years"
the Democratic officials, disappointed and dis
bearteped. snarlngy admit that the record OF
the Republican party for purity and official IN
teoritv is the marvel of the world" General
Logan might have added that the Independent
voters are now in the habit of appaudng the
President whenever he retains a RepO blican
official. in the lust belief that he has thus
secured another honest man, though he does
| because
otbers as competent and trustworthy, and al
the same time they are asked to support nm
in removing the heads of all departments
bureaus and divisions, and most of the import
ant officials, though he admits their integrity
: and fidelity, for the sole purpose OF getting
!, inexperienced and untried Democratic parti-
sans into place
| General Logan does not attri QUITE all the
growth of the country since 1850 to the pro
l tective tariff, some organs OF BRUSH opin'ol
falsely assert. But he does show that the ra
z pidity of growth under that system has beer
UNPARALLELED in this or any other country, ant
then asks: xviii any one say that prior t
\ 1860 orr people were not as intelligent, were
L not as energetic as now z Yet they have
: gained in wealth during twenty-five year
Z under protection more than twice as much a
thew had gained in the whole previous histOr
of the country, under all forms of tariff an
all changes of party. To-day, he remark;
!, farm products are higher and yet manufacture
- goods are lower than in 1850, and nevertheless
q the wages of labor have increased, both on tn
" farm and in the factory and mine. This on
n country is the only one in all the world thu
# has for quarter of century consistent
II defended its industry. AS result, the II
"a crease of wealth by 60,OO0,O0O people in tn
If country is 80 per cent of the entire increase
va wealth throughout the whole world-that
m twenty two times as many people IN all II
70 lest of the world do not produce and say
Il twice as much. Plainly the Republican polio
i has given to the people opportunity al
m stimulus for the highest exeriOn of Its ente
i, prise and energies, and greater Opportunl
and stimulus than the same Nation had ev

Is Pertinently General Logan adds that CO.
r- cressional session never closes without an a
nt tempt by the Democratic party to break dow

y growth has been attained.
