tariff for protection was in 1860?
Is tariff for revenue, as you yell it,
to be for the protection Of the coal
miner, the salt digger, the cotton,
wool, tobacco producer, the iron,
wooden-ware, boot and shoe, wooden
and cotton manufacturers and their
laborers-the wage earners, or if not,
what for ? Please answer. We are
willing you should straddle from
1860 to the close Of the war, but do
not argue that tariff for revenue is
to tbest practically aid our own PEG

-cLEVELAND AND THURJLAN.

cLEVELAN ND AND THURJfAN.
The Democratic convention at ST
Louis, on Wednesday last, nomina-
red as the candidate of their party
for president, by reclamation, Gro
yer Cleveland, of New York. The
nomination was in advance of the
party platform. For vice president,
Allen G. Thurman, of Ohio, was NOM
mated, on Thursday. BY general
consent Mr.. Thurman has long been
accorded to be "the noblest Roman
of them ALL but why his stronger
capacity, longer experience, and wi
ser Judgment should relegate him to
the tail of the kite is an unexplained
mystery. The tendency of modern
notifies seems to be toward the ele-
walton of mediocre men. The cork
swims. the light weights are on the
surface, but held up by pillars COM
posed of the stronger, better and
ADLER men.
The party has a candidate for pres
ident who in his message made free
trade his platform. The platform
adopted, straddles the tariffquestion,
and also endorses the presidents let
ter, Thus plain duplicity sexhibited.
In the presidents hand, food for the
free trade-in the platform, tafy for
the tariff voter, Such proceeding is,
to say the least, unfair, and not very
reputable for a national party.

In hurried trip to Charlestown
on Tuesday last, we found the Cir
cult Court in session, with Mr.. Trap
nell as special judge trying the case
against the stockholders of the Penn
sylvania Central Improvement Co.
Several lawyers from distance were
in attendance. Jefferson county
should be great agricultural section.
Its land and beauty of scenery can
not be surpassed, and flowers bloom
now where the thorn of war made
hurtful wounds Liberality, enter
prise, push and kindly neigbborly
affection exists and are producing
prosperity. Verify, Mr.. Travers was
correct in his remarks when he said
of their land, "all you have to do is
to tickle the soil and drop the seed"
and the result is an abundant produc-
ton. We hope the next decade will
double their agricultural community.
There is plenty of land for it, and
with the old tariff issue before them,
the Jefferson Wings are sure to re-
sumo position and prestige.
