IYNCHBURG. Va, Aug. IL

LYNcHBuRG, Va, Aug. 18th, 1888.
To the Editor of the Kennebee Journal:
Please accept our thanks for the two cop
les sent us of McKinsley's speech upon the
tariff delivered in the House of Representa-
tives. If you can send us say ten or fifteen
copies We can place them in the hands of
Democrats who are seeking for information
upon the subject of Free Trade and Protec-
ton, and who are open to conviction.
Our Democratic papers 1--WE have no Re-
publican paper published here) never pub
fish but their own side of the debates in
Congress upon Protection, knowing that it is
ignorance with the masses that enables them
to obtain their votes, and that it would be
folly for them to make them wiser, and
thereby lose them.
We believe, but for the unfortunate dis
sensions in our party in this State, it would
go tor Protection by from 10000 to 20 900
IN jority. Arbitrary dictatorial bosssm has
caused this dissensiOn, as our most intelligent
and old and true Republicans are not disposed
to be led or ruled by those whose true Re-
publicaEism they have ever doubted and who
work only for their own ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
The writer of this in 1870, then residing in
Hallowell, cast his first Presidential vote for
"Tippecanoe," and well remembers the en-
thusiasm that prevailed on the Kennebec at
that time, and the ''log cabin that was erect
ed by the "boys" between Hallowell and
Gardiner. 1t will afford me great pleasure
to vote for 'old Tips" grandson, which
shall certainly do if live. Lynchburgis the
hot-bed of Democracy-the home of the I'M
reconstructed General Jubal Early Many
of the citizens desire the success of our
ticket but have not the moral courage to
help us by their votes. Many say to me, elf
we lived in the North we would vote with the
Republicans" Bulldozing is not unknowa
here. s. PATTERSON.

The electioneering campaign in

The electioneering campaign in
America ought to be most interest
ing to the English people for his
torical, political. philosophical and
eeonyhic reasons. The
main question of issue is English
free trade against the Continental
system of protection. The repub-
lie is on trial. Good, conservative
government, under Cleveland. is
opposed by the rule and ruin party
of Blaine, whose friends nominated
Harrison, and who would certainly
be the Secretary of State under
Harrison administration. Thus
the American people are directly
involved in the contest through
their pockets, which will be affect
ed by the tariff, and their future,
which would be seriously influenced
by the restoration to power of such
a fire-brand as Blaine, with his home
rule sympathies and anti-Canadian
policy. The American election is
infinitely more important to
Englishmen than their own internal
politics just at this juncture, and
they should observe every phase
of the campaign closely and under
standingly. 1t is from this point
of view that the copious dispatches
to the Sunday Times are cabled.
The result of the American election
will help to decide many important
issues in Great Britain.-London

n. c. cALKIN DEFINES HIS
POSITION.
Another influential Democrat Desides
to Vote for Harrison and Norton
Opposed to the Free Trade and Con-
troll of the Administration by the South

Ex-Congress man Hervey c. Calkin, life
long Democrat and a leader in Tammany
Hail. has announced his intention to vote for
Harrison and Morton. Il have taken this
step" said Mr. Calkin to Tribune reporter
yesterday, because | think free trade is be-
coming tie chief principle of the Democrat
party / have long been interested in the de-
volopment of American shipping, and | can
no longer see any hope for the shipping in
terests under Democratic Administration.
Our Shipping League, an organization ex-
tending from Maine to Florida, introduced a
bill in the present Congress proposing such
measures as would make it possible for
Americans to compete with foreign ship
builders, but Democratic influence has kept
the bill in the background, and has set for
ward free shipping bill"
"How would free shipping bill affect
American labor?" was asked.
About 80 per cent replied Mr.. Calkin,
'.of the cost of building ship is for labor,
and free ships mean unprotected labor to that
amount. l strongly object, too, to the policy
of allowing Southern Democrats to control
the National organization, as they have done
under Cleveland's Administration.
You do not then indorse the Mills bill?"
Surely not. l have not confidence in the
statements that the bill does not mean free
trade. and if Cleveland is reelected should
expect free manufactured articles to follow
free wool. | can cordially support Harrison
and think his position on the tariff is sound.
Now, in the matter of wages, our firm(H c.
J. Fl. Calkin, coppersmiths and plumbers.
No. III Christopher-st.) employs about 20
men. Before the war these men received
81 so day; they now receive So. This
change is largely due to the tariff, and had
rather pay SO under the tariff than $3.50
under free trade. l think that the election of
Harrison and Morton is unquestionable for
the best interests Of the country.

Mr.. Melvin Stone, formerly editor of the
Chicago News, went abroad thoroughly i'm
bued with Free Trade sentiments. Indeed
he was one of the most rampant supporters
of the Free Trade theory in the West He
is now in Ireland, and from the town of
Clommel he writes this home to a newspaper
There is one very sad feature about the
town, and one that struck me before | had
been here a day. l have never seen so many
silent factories. There are great buildings
along the quays, immense structures on back
streets, buildings rising TO six stories in
height in the rear of private houses all va
cant. They tell me here that previous TO the
union the linen and oolen factories of Clom-
mel gave employment to $1,000 or 20, 900
people. The entire population of the town
now does not amount to over 10000. 1t was
one of the busiest towns in the three king
doms now, so far as manufactures are con-
cerned, it is one of the duliest Inimical
legislation on the part of England drove one
after another of the great mill-owners out of
business, to emigration or to poverty. Be-
fore the union Irish industries were protected
and fostered by the Irish parliament The
country was prosperous and contented. After
the union foreign competition came in and
silenced the mills and factories. Whatever
it may have done for other countries, or
however wise it may be to re-
move the protective tariff in the United
States, Ireland stands to-day a terrible ex-
ample of the workings of Free Trade.

Jacob Roberts. Superintendent of the
Phoenix Horse Shoe Company Of Pough-
keepsie, n. Y, the second largest Of the
kind in the United States, says that IL the
Mills bill passes, his establishment will
shut its doors, and its owners will either
quit the business or remove to England,
where they can get cheap labor. They
would probably, however, find that they
could get all the cheap labor they wanted
right at home. 1t would be a drug in the
market. American mechanics. when they
were forced to choose between working
for rs cents day and seeing their en-
ployers remove their plant to England
and leave them to starve, would take the
former every time.

The Wool Question.

Hon. Edward H. Amidown replies as fol-
lows to an article in the Germantown Demo-
crat:
THE view of the Germantown Democrat
tariff are not limited to the wool grower.
Every farmer including the whole 7,00o, 900
men engaged in farming, is benefited by
the diversion of labor and capital into wool
growing. There is an over-production now
of some farm products. Even greater di-
versity would be advantageous. On this
ground favor protection on hemp, flax and
jute-
1.-The benefit accrues also to the whole
population of the county in the proper
ton which the value Of the wool clip con-
tributes to the wealth and spendable income
of the people. For if sheep husbandry
were destroyed the income from it would
cease and the farmers be deprived of their
clip-their means of buying the products of
other industries. 1t is well known among
farmers that the cash received from the sale
of their wool is relied on more than any
thing else to supply such of their needs as
are not supplied from their farms. Thus
the whole nation reaps the benefit from the
tariff on wool, the same as it does on every
other important protected industry. 1t is a
part of the grand system for the elevation
and advancement of the people, the bene-
fits of which are not limited to any class or
section. They extend to all. Strike down
one part of the system and you weaken the
whole, and if the destruction begins it will
end in the overthrow of all our industries,
and in the organization of our labor and
wages on the level of our foreign competi-
tors.

How Our Farmers Are Protected.

One Of the stock arguments of the Free
Traders and of the advocates of the Mills
bill is that the import duty on any article
raises by the amount Of the duty the price
of the article to the consumer; and this
rule, it is claimed, applies not only to arti-
cles imported, but also to similar articles
of domestic production. These same
Free Traders and so called revenue re-
formers also claim that manufacturers de-
rive all the benefits of the tariff on i'm
ports, and that the farmers are made to
suffer in consequence because the prod
ucts of their labor are not protected.
The tenderness and solicitude of the
Democrats for the welfare of the farmer
Is something very touching in these latter
DAYS. But let us see whether the state
ment is true that our farmers derive no
protection from the existing tariff. Ac-
cordiing to the report Of the Department
of Agriculture, 1887, the yield of various
crops in the United States for the year
1886 was as below given, and the duties
in the following table are those now fixed
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1888-08-20

Total tax, s627. 200
The above does not include wool, live
animals. cheese, butter, lard, honey, hops,
pickles, vinegar, oranges, grapes, raisins,
peanuts and many other articles which
Mr.. Mills proposes to put on the free list.
If the farmers are not protected what class
in the community is? Whatever protee-
ton for his products the farmer enjoys is
the result of Republican policy and laws
passed under Republican administrations
Recently has died in Dumfries, Scotland,
Mrs. Aitken, the last surviving sister of
Carlisle, at the age of seventy mine years.
She was the mother of Mrs. Alexander
Carlisle, who was the companion and aman-
uensis of her distinguished uncle during
the latter part Of his life, and whose con-
troversies with Mr.. Froude have excited
much attention since Carlyle's death. Mrs.
Aiken was married in 1888 TO painter in
Dumfries, who died last year, but be had
given up his trade for long time before
his death. Carlyle was very fond of his sis
ter, and there are numerous illusions to
her in his letters and "reminiscences, and
the letters of Mrs. Carlyle. He described
her as "fairly superior woman-superlor
in extent of reading, culture, etc.. and
still better In verscity of character, sound
discernment, and practical wisdom

Another Democrat Supporting Harrison.

&AhSehoi OCihOSidI ouPPOI LluS I1hIIlbOu
Z. C. Robbins, lifelong Democrat, a
prominent lawyer of Buffalo and former
friend of Grover Cleveland has come out for
Harrison on the tariff issue. He said
at is the duty of Protectonist Democrats
to administer such rebuke to Cleveland
and his present advisers that no one will ever
again try to identify the Democracy with the
doctrine of Free Trade"
'Is that all you have against him?"
mot much, He is downright humbug
After his reform professions and his talk
about the dangers of a second term, he used
nomination and at the same time had the
Federal officials at work in caucusses and
conventions to knock out everybody who
was especially friendly to Governor HILL
He has shown himself to be hypocrite and
he is, besides, the most thoroughly selfish
man in public life to-day
"Do you look for big Democratic vote
for Harrison in this State?"
Eyes, do, and you will find that it will
be regular stampede in this State, long
before election day. The days of Grover
Clevelands luck is about over"
1t is very significant that in no Ameri-
can city is there more reluctance to vote
for him than in Buffalo, where he lived
so long.

Letter from Chelsea.

CHELSEA, August 18TH 1888.
The Republicans of Kennebec county, at
their convention yesterday, assured to the
voters of this county an honest administra-
ton of their financial affairs, in the nomna-
ton of j. f. Blanchard of Chelsea, for the
Office of County Treasurer.
Believing in filling our public offices by
putting the right men in the right place,
feel assured that no stronger nomination
could be made than that of Mr.. Blanchard
for this important office, and no stronger
could the sentiment of Mr.. Blanchard's
townsmen be expressed, than in the words
employed by Mr.. Cornish in seconding Mr..
Blanchard's nomination.

1t is said there are seventy thousand
Union veterans in Indiana who stand like a
wall against the Democratic attempts to
carry or steal the State. 1t will require a
tremendous amount of demagogism and
tally sheet frauds to over-power this
enormous soldier vote, and this is one of
the reasons why the Democratic managers
are not counting so confidently on the
Hoosier State as they were some time
ago.
