Political Points.

Wh lie protesting great love Tor the far-
mers the Republicans are willing to sac
rifce them rather than antagonze the
manufacturer by reducing the tariff on
iron and the thousand and one Things
that are said to be altogether dependent
upon protection for existence Cleve-
land Plaindealer, (Dem)
The Republican doctors are having a
pretty Notwithstanding, growing,
swapping. Some of them have gone so
far as to say that the patient has no can
cer-there is no surplus-that he is
simply suffering from general debility
and will come out all right if literally
supplied with free tobacco and free corn
juice. New York Herald, Qnd.)
The Republicans are laying much
stress upon the fact that Mr.. Blaine has
promised to make speeches in all the
doubtful States, that is to say, in Ohio,
and Iowa. The fact will be recalled that
the then doubtful States, but he was de-
feated all the same.-[St. Louis Republic.
The United States have to sell pre-
cisely what the South Americans want,
and the latter have to sell precisely what
the former want, yet England and the
different countries OF the Continent Of
Europe get "a per cent. of the trade of
our near neighbors. This fact would
seem to suggest an opportunity tor our
people people to show that they are as
"cute" and enterprising as they boast
they are.-[Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Major General William Henry Harri.
son, having been elected President of the
United States, was compelled to say to
Henry Clay on one occasion that he
(Harrison) was President, and not Mr..
Clay. Whether Brevet Brigadier- General
Harrison would ever say the same thing
to James G. Blaine is one of those con-
jectural condolences which history will
probably never reveal. - Providence
Journal, Gnd.)
Every day or two some Republican or
gan under flaming headlines publishes
the statement that a certain prominent
Democrat has declared his intention to
vote for Harrison and Morton. The next
day the prominent Democrat mentioned
comes out in angry an card in the paper
denouncing the statement as utterly false
and unfounded. Then the liar goes
ahead and publishes another one about
somebody else Nashville Democrat,
(Dem.)
The people of this country care Just
about nothing at all for the grandsons of
their grandfathers, and but little even
for the sons of their fathers. That senti-
ment was tried disastrously in New York
last fall when Col. Fred Grant was de-
feated by thousands, regardless of their
profound reverence for the memory of his
father; and the name of Bob Lincoln
hardly called out cheer in the Chicago
convention, although he embodies the
most sacred sentiment among Republi-
cans as the son of Abraham lincoln

AS the Republican party always "point
with pride" to their leaders, we desire to
call their attention to the sayings of some
of their eminent men,
James A. Garfeld-'I am for protec-
ton which leads to ultimate free trade"
Benjamin Butterworth-"Every nation
that is worthy the name is seeking to en-
large the area OF it's trade and commerce,
to enlarge the opportunity to buy and
find markets in which to SELL"
mencement OF the protective policy ever
supposed that it would be perpetual"
Chester A. Arthur-sI recommend an
enlargement on the free list"
John D. Long-"The free list is the
honest revenue reformer's hope"
John Sherman-"I hope the Senate
will not commence by increasing taxes at
time when few of US are struggling to
see what little we can do to reduce the
duties imposed by the existing law"
