This is a free country. The assertion
is indisputsble. II man desires to-
make an ass of himself, in public, by
loose talk, not in itself seditious OF pro-
vocative of a breach of the peace, he
has right to carry out his whiIn. Why
should he not do SO? Hard words break
no bones. Common sense considera-
tons are matters of different import al
together.
During he proceedings OF Confederate
Memorial Day in Baltimore, General
Bradley L. johnson chose to make a
grab for notoriety, the cheapest and most
tinsel-tinctured brand of iiiegitimate I'D :
vertisement yet devised. He claimed
that the confederate soldiers and their
descendants elect ninety out of every
hundred Congressman, ttirtyzfour of
the United States Senators and the
President OF the United States But
this is not the worst of the matter, and
the General must be quoted in order
that the full force of his talk may be
understood, whether it is or is not ap-
preciated. He says: Every Confed-
crate soldier carries with him, chained
to his heart, a casket Of his dead hopes
and aspirations, all through his life, as
Douglas did the heart of Bruce to the
Holy Land, to show his devotion to the
cause for which he fought. 2
This ancient history sschestnut' might
be put aside, with smile, but for the
next sentence, which runs thusly: RI
the time should ever come, and it were
necessary, there are ten thousand in
MARYLAND who wonId stand for that's
cause as Douglas did for Bruce How

headed warriors of'the South

A poLIrIcAE CYCLONE,


1t is not to be wondered at that the
emphatic condemnation of the Mills bill
expressed by the people of Oregon start
led and disturbed the Democratic mana
gers of st. Louis. Never In the history
Of American politics has the policy delib-
erately adopted by one national party
met with such an emphatic condemnation
by the people at the very threshold of a
campaign, The Free-trade bosses de-
serve credit for a certain degree of cour-
age in sticking by measure which a
state hitherto considered doubtful repudi-
ated by the largest majority ever cast in
its history.
The campaign in Oregon was made dis
tinctively on the Protection issue. The
state has always been close. Its sole rep
resentative in the House of Representa-
tives is frequently a Democrat and few
years ago it was represented in the upper
branch by two Democratic Senators. Its
majority for either party has been under
1000 oftener than it has been above that
figure. Only twice before has it exceed
cd 1000, once in 1884 when Blaine's pop
ularity raised the Republican plurality to
1856, and in 1872 when the refusal of
Democrats TO vote for Horace Greeley
UlOuSub GtHtfdl 0Iuub . uidJuhtbJ w 1OCVs
The majority by which Oregon condemns
the Mills bill and the Presidents Free
trade message is not less than 1000.
The full significance of this can only be
understood when the evenness of the nor
NAL party vote and the relative smallness
of the population is taken into considers
tion. Seven thousand majority in Oregon
bears the Same proportion to the number
of inhabitants as majority of 200, 600 IN
New York State or ITO, 900 In Penpsylya-
MIA. 1t is as if the doubtful state of New
Jersey should astonish the country by
eleoting tho Republican ticket by a ma
jority Of 40, 600. In Oregon the Demo-
Gratis lost in every precinct in the stale
and every county shows Republican
majority, OF seyenty-flvs new members.
of the Legislature the Republicans have
elected sixty-three and the Democrats
ten, and two are doubtful. The defeated
Democratic candidate for member of Con-
gress sums up the situation in nutshell
when no says: s'The result of the election
shows that Oregon does not want Free
Trade 2 .
This is the answer Of an agricultural
state to the Democratic attempt to de-
stroy our protected Industries. It Is not
surprising that sagacious Democrats see
in this unexpected revolution the presage
Of an overwhelming disaster to their par
ty in November.

been cited to demonstrate this claim. II

General Gresham Is sound on the tar
III. He took the platform for Blaine
four years ago, and here is what he said
in one of his speeches: "In revising our
tariff laws and reducing our customs
revenues, home interests should not be
neglected. Indeed, protection to manu-
facturers and laborers can and should be
afforded by taxing only such imports as
come into real competition and admitting
others free. No one disputes that the
Republican party is in favor Of thus af-
fording projection to our domestic in
dustries. Revenue laws should be en-
acted with reference to our local condi-
tions and wants. We should legislate in
the interest of our own people rather than
In the interest OF mankind at large. Not
until we are able to control the markets
OF the world can we afford TO adopt free
trade. No Intelligent man needs to be
told that the weight of opinion In the
Democratic party is decidedly opposed to
the protective question, and that once in
full possession Of the government it
would refuse to enact or maintain pro-
tective tariff laws, nm

There is said to be a farmer in Bridge
port, Conn, who has not spoken to his
wife for thirteen years, nor has she
spoken to him, although the two are on
good terms. II appears that one morn
ing in June, 1875. be came into his house
and asked his wife to hurry up break
fast. In her hurry she dropped plate
and spilled some hot coffee on him. A
row was the result, and it ended in her
saying that she would never speak to
him as long as she lived and he swore
he never would speak to her. Since
that time they have never exchanged a
word. Their children do all the talking
for them, and each one is waiting for
the other to give in first. Ii is bound
to come in time and then one may well
imagine that their talk will be an in
teresting one.

The Republican victory in Oregon is
sweeping and unparalleled. 1t chilled
all the enthusiasm in tho ST.. Louis con-
yention, and has had as paralyzing effect
upon the free trade madness of the party
as the handwriting upon the wall exerted
upon Belshazzar's impious host. The
contest was one of the most animated in
the history Of the State, and was fought
strictly upon the tariff lines. The result
is the biggest Republican majority ever
given, Legislature more than two thirds
majority, and the assured return OF Re
publican United States Senator. The
Democratic party will know more when
it energies from its free trade new de-
