NATIONAL REPUBLICAN TICKET
FOR PRESIDENT,
BENJAMIN F. HARRISON,
OF INDIANA.
FOR VICE PRESIDENT,
LEVI P. MORTON,
OF NEW YORK.
THE TARIFF THE ISSUE.

We are uncompromisingly in favor
of the American system OF protec-
tion. We protest against its de-
struction, as proposed by the Presi.
dent and his party. They serve the
interests of Europe; we will support
the interests of America. We &C.
cept the issue, and confidently APP.
peal to the people for their judgment,
The protective system must be main.
tanned. Its abandonment has always
been followed by general disaster
to all interests except those of the
usurer and the sheriff. We denouuce
the Mills bill as destructive to the
general business, the labor and the
farming interests of the country,
and we heartily endorse the consis.
tent and patriotic action of the Re.
publican representatives in Congress
in opposing its passage.
We condemn the proposition OF
the Democratic party to place wool
on the free list, and we insist that
the duties thereon shall be adjusted
and maintained, so as to furnish full
and adequate protection to that in.
dustry.
The Republican party would effect
all needed reduction of the national
revenue by repeating the taxes upon
tobacco, which are an annoyance
and burden to agriculture, and the
tax upon spirits used in the arts and
for mechanical purposes; and by
such revision of the tariff laws as
will tend to check imports of such
articles as are produced by our peo-
pie, the production of which gives
employment to our labor, and re-
lease from import duties those ar
ticles Of foreign production, except
Injuries, the like of which cannot be
produced at home. If there shall
still remain larger revenue than is
requisite for the wants of the gov
eminent, we favor the entire repeal
of internal taxes rather than the
surrender of any part of our protec-
tive system, at the joint behest of
the whiskey ring and the agents of
foreign manufacturers.
We declare our hostility to the in
PRODUCTION into this country of for.
eign contract labor, and of Chinese
labor, alien to our civilization and our
Constitution and we demand the
rigid enforcement of the existing
laws against it, and favor such i'm
mediate legislation as will exclude
such labor from our shores.
We declare our opposition to all
combinations of capital, organized
in trusts or otherwise, to control ar
oltrarlly the condition OF trade
among our citizens; and we recon-
mend to Congress and the state leg.
islatures, in their respective jurisdic-
tions, such legislation as will prevent
the execution of all schemes to op.

alike unjust burdens and unfair dis
ordinations between the states.--

"LRTE PECToRE."

The part of a valedictorian is one
more of feeling than of expression, as
all know who have ever bid farewell
to friends or kindred, in life or death,
and who has not? The hand on the
cold key never touches the sweetest
chords, and the poet never finds ex-
preston for his best thoughts and
highest aspirations they are unconsci-
ously felt and silently understood
There is world of meaning in the
words that begin and end Miss Flick's
farewell address. 1t is class motto,

ness of parting" joyful in heart.n
over successful graduation, in the
store Of knowledge attained, in the
reunion of home and friends, in the
advent of higher stage of life where
on vocation may lead ;-"joyful in
heart" not an organic (cor) emotion,
but a deeper feeling indicated by the
word itself,-that secret and myster-
lous spring OF affection and devotion
which the Creator has implanted in
the human breast.
Miss Flick has inherited the spirit
of her father, in firmness of sentiment
and patriotism, and in the broadness
and liberality of her views. In the
opening of her address she said that
from earliest time need has been felt
of some common bond which will bring
man into closer communion with his fell

A SIGNIFICANT CONTRAST.
1t Does Not Argue Well for the Party OF
SIIsrule.

The Albany journal thinks that it is
something remarkable that the DeTnoc-
racy, departing from its its usual custom
since the war, has had 'the courage to
outline policy and name its candidates
for a national suffrage before the Republic
cans had come in like manner before the
people.
There Is nothing so remarkable about
this, if our Albany contemporary can look
at the matter from a fairly impartial point
of view. For the first time since the war
the Democracy is something more than IA
party of opposition. During the years
when the Republicans were in power
there was neither the need nor the oppor-
tunity for the Democratic party to be any
thing more than party of opposition.
The Republicans, by their long misrule;
by their odious reconstruction" policy;
by their persistent Inflammation OF sec
tionalism; by their desperate determine
ton to remain in power lawfully or un-
lawfully; by their usurption and violation
of the constitutional functions of our gov
eminent; by their corruption, venality and
extravaganza in its administration, made
the issues themselves, and the only issues
on which fight against them could or
should have been conducted. Such
fight always was, and was bound to be,
simply n struggle between those who are
responsible for such misgovernment and
the elements of opposition which they
aroused.
But mark the difference between the
situation now and that ON the eve of any
presidential election under Republican
supremacy. For the first time since the
war the TWO great parties stand face to
face, with an open field and unclouded
sky. The fOgs have lifted and the smoke
has dissipated, and each knows its ground
and what it has to meet, as well as what
il has to fight for. 1t is no longer ques
lion merely of the offices; it is no longer n
struggle between the ms and outs; it is no
longer rebellion of decency, honesty and
self government against a growing cen
trali2ation of all that is most dangerous
to free government. 1t is simply n plain,
practical question of direct personal in
terest to every citizen and of vital import
ance the national welfare. Louisville

Crops.


The observers of the Illinois weather
service have made the following report
for the week ending March "a. to the
secretary of the state board of agricul-
wheat, rye. pastures, live stock, etc:
The weather during the past week has
been very unfavorable for wheat and the
late extreme change in the temperature is
likely to still further reduce the prospects
for the coming crop. The reports indi-
cate that the wheat plan lacks vigor and
seasonable growth, and excepting the
early seeding, the prospects for winter
wheat are more discouraging than heres
tofore supposed
The most marked decline in the condi.
ton of wheat during the past week is
reported from the following counties in
which the prospects have been reduced
since last report as follows: Winnebago
% per cent less; Iroquois, %; Logan, 35;
Champaign and Christian, 10; Shelby, 40;
Bond, %; Randolph, Is; Hamilton, 90.
A large area has been plowed for oats
and but for the late freezing would have
been seeded during the past week. The
late unfavorable weather will seriously
interfere with the seasonable seeding of
oats.
The prospects for rye are not as good
as reported March II, owing to the con-
tinued unfavOrable conditions of the
weather.
The growth of grass Is not as far adj

the limited supply of grain and forage,
resulting from the drouth during the
past season.
There is complaint that the fruit buds
have been injured by the "cold snap" of
the past week, but the extent of the
damage to the heretofore unfavorable
fruit prospects cannot be determined
with any satisfaction at present.

He never professed any knowledge of the

as a soldier in the Black Hawk war of 1882,
aud as an officer in the Mormon war at
Nauvoo, in 1876 Nevertheless, during the
progress of the civil war he evinced quick
comprehension of the principles of the tart, ~
though never using military phraseology.
Thus his letter of April 10, 1862, to Gen. Nc
Clellan, then besieging Yorktown, exhibits a
precise knowledge of the strength and pur-
pose of each of the many armies in the field,

Hooker:

It is related by Gen. Grant in his memoirs
that when he was explaining how he proposed
to use the several scattered armies so as to
accomplish the best results, referring to the
forces in western Virginia, and saying that
he had ordered Sigel to move up the valley
of Virginia from Winchester, make junction
with Crook and Averell from kanawha, and
go toward Saltville or Lynchburg-Mr. Lin
coin said, "Oh, yesl l see that As we say out

In his personal interview with Gen Grant
about March 8, 1864, Mr. Lincoln recounted
truly and manfully that che had never pro
fessed to be IA military man, or to know how
campaigns should be conducted, and never
wanted to interfere in them; but the procras-
tination of commanders, and the pressure
from the people at the north and congress,
which was always with him, forced him to
issuing his series of military orders, one, two,
three, etc He did not know but all were
wrong, and did know that some were. All
he wanted or ever had wanted, was some one
who would take the responsibility and act,
and call on him for all the assistance needed,
pledging himself to use all the power of the
government in rendering such assistance"
