housst Democrats wonld favor pgotee-
iion. We respect their opinions Il honest
y argued. We are. and always have
been wiling 10 pablish the same # 10
diligently written.
We believe that the grea. majority OF
intelligent Democrats OF this city aud
country are protscfionists. While We do
not express ourselves - 10 other dis
puted questions. ~e feel that as regards
the Mills ball. the party now domiosnt IN
the House Of Representatives.. has made
a serious mistake. The principle OF
protection should never be abandoned.
Wnst has led 30 those reflections Is the
isct that me OF our Democratic sub
scribers wished their papers discontinued.
because they said W. were "high protsc-
tionisis" and they were for q tariff for
revenue only" aud that tho TELEGRAM
HERALD Was not what IL used TO be. IAN
independent paper" snd that we were
working FOR the Republican party only,
etc, etc. This much Ia true that the
TELEGRAM HERALD is for protection for
projections sake whenever and where
ever II Is needed. We ars Tor protection
because 10 protects our homes IN which
va live and not foreign countries Who
would be glad TO see the downfall OF
this country. We are on the aide OF the
Republican party because its principles
are correct. they ara safe to tie to, while
the Democratic doctrine is dangerous to
our country.
The Republican doctrine il ths doc
trins OF SAMUEL J. RANDALL, not that OF
CARLISLE nor Mills. RANDALL has
more followers OK honest men, truly de-
voted TO their country than has CARLISLE
or MiLLs. RANDALL Is az out and out
protectionist.
We believe very serious mistake was
made when the leaders OF the party sur
rendered 10 such Southern men. as
CARLISLE. Mills & CO., aud put RAN
DALI on the shelf. II is a mistake they
will some day see and regret.
But the point We wish to make is, that
we know no party in the advocating o!
protection and right. and are working for
no party, except the party OF home rule,
home protection. be they Democrats. Re-
pubicsDs, Greenb ackers. Prohibitionists,
laborer or capitalist We ere working
for principle. All our readers may not
be with rs on soma questions, bat they
should be with as on the question Of
our country's protection. the country
