In recent number of the REPUBLI-
CAN an article appeared regarding the
cost of the plate glass for Riddles new
block, and the difference the tariff"
made in the same, the writer claiming
that the tariff, instead of increasing
the cost, had. by protecting" the
plate glass manufacturers of this coun-
try, actually reduced the price of that
article. Mr.. Riddle gives us the fol-
lowing facts, which show very clearly
that, Notwithstanding all talk 10 the
contrary, the tariff does add considera-
BILE to the cost of plate glass, Before
purchasing he obtained prices from a
number of manufacturers, both for
eign and American, and found them
substantially the same. He then wrote
to one of the manufacturers in France
for prices providing he (Riddle) paid
the tariff. and the reply was that the
price would be twelve hundred and
twenty two dollars and sixty-th
cents less than the same could be
bought for in this country. This sum
ST. ,222 SO, represents the increased cost
which the tariff makes in the new
block. on the one item of plate glass.
The fact that plate glass is cheaper al
: this time than before DePau began Its
manufacture in this country, has nc
, significance, for it will hardly be
claimed that the markets of foreign
: countries are regulated or controlled
: by the limited amount made in thii
| country. The manufacturers here sim
ply regulate their prices by those o
l foreign manufacturers, with the tarif
, added, which goes into their pockets
. for protection"

The old fashioned political speech
of former days, even of four years ago,
is not wanted in this campaign. Spread
eagle oratory, however pleasing it once
was, is not Ill demand at this time.
What the voter most desires are facts,
and that speaker who il the best in.
formed aud honestly endeavors to In
struct his audience, is the one that re-
ceives the best attention. There is an
attempt on the part of a class of un.
scrupulOus politicians to present claims
and figures most misleading; this is
not confined to one party alone. The,
professional campaign orator who de.
pends mostly upon wind and gush for
effect, is the one who indulges in this
luxury. The best speech that we have
heard for nj any months was by q prRc-
tical manufacturer who knew what he
was talking about and talked about
what he knew. The mass of all par
ties most earnestly desire the enforce
ment of that policy which will be for
the best interests of our people as q
nation. and the assertion that any
party is knowingly and Intentionally
working for the interest of Great Brit
ain as against our own, or is designed
Iy working for the capitalist and the
millionaire and against the interests of
large majority of our citizens, is the
assertion OF a demagogue, for common
sense teaches US that to work for either
of these objects is to work against the
interest of each and all of US and of
themselves as well-an objective point
which no one wants or desires. There
are many voters who sincerely desire
to know which of the two policies ad.

put into practical operation, will be for
pest interest OF the country, and If they
could be assured on that point they
would vote for that, Irrespective of
party affiliations, for the principles
advocated are SO radically different
that they cannot both be right, and the

Something worth knowing Mr..
Luther Butler, father of our worthy
townsman, Lucius F. Butler, on Sat
urday, Oct. 18th. with his ak in hand,
walked to the woods, cut and felled a
sound chestnut tree that measured l3
feet in circumference at the place OF
chopping, and walked home when his
work was done. The remarkable part
of the fact is that Mr.. Butler was 81
years old that very day, and he did not
think of it being his birthday until the
work was flushed. Now, Mr.. Editor,
we think that Mr.. Butler is entitled
to the Belt until his rival supersedes
him.

poets to move his family soon. We
cannot well afford to loose Charley

workers, and especially will they be

hope they will gain as many friends
