THE GATE is OPEN /!
And the Republican,, Prohibitionists,
Greenbackers, and the Voters at
Large are Flocking Into the
Democratic Pasture
Field,
Come On, Brethren. and Let Us Con
tinue to Dwell In Peace and
Harmony Under Demo-
cratic Administra-
tion.

Mr.. @. @. Fisher, of German township,
Holm es county, the candidate for Recorder
on the Prohibition ticket, came into the
Farmer Office last Saturday and handed us
the appended card, which is sself-explanatory.
Mr.. Fisher is one of our most intelligent
young men and like many other Prohibi-
tionists and temperance Republicans, knows
that the only way to beat the "free whisky"
Republican rarty is to vote the Democratic
ticket in November:
EDS. FARMER:-Believing that it is the first
duty of every true American citizen to use
his best endeavoYs toward reduction of eI-
cessive taxation by the national government,
thereby relieving the great masses from the
unjust burden of a tariff tax now being i'm
posed under sanction of law for the benefit
of few monopolists; and believing that to
continue voting the Prohibition ticket only
tends to postpone the day of reduction OF
these unjust taxes, hereby withdraw my
name as candidate for County Recorder on
the Prohibition ticket of Holmes county,
and shall from now until the 9th day of No
vember next do my utmost for the election
of those two grand men, Grover Cleveland
and Allen G. Thurman, to the offices OF
President and Vice-President of the United
States. Respectfully,
--Fdrmer. @. G. FISHER.

gW When Jim Blaine and his family re-
turned to this country last week they brought
with them hirty-t,uo trunks! These trunks
were stuffed with the handiwork of European
"paupers," purchased by Blaine and his
family and imported by them into this coun-
try. They preferred these foreign goods to
those manufactured by laboring people at
home, and this too by the same Blaine who
is now telling the laboring man of the
abomination of importing foreign goods.
Blaine is the biggest humbug the country is
now possessed of. Verify, he is the sun
crowned King''-of liars.

WJames G. Blaine, who is worth good
round sum, made in Congress, is telling the
laboring men what good time they will
have, if the Republican party is given power
again. The laboring men of this country
remember we'll that during the administra-
ton of the Republican party, the great labor
strikes occurred and that the laboring men
of this country were made to compete with
the contract labor of the old country. Labor
ing men are not fools by long shot.-Ti6fn

"a Farmers, how do you like the idea of
paying from 80 to 100 per cent more for your
harvesters than the same are sold for to the
English farmer1 Yet this is exactly what
you are doing year after year. The same
machines that are sold to the American
farmer for from $3.50 to $2oO,-the price be-
ing regulated by the competition in the locali-
ty where the harvesters are sold-are shipped
to England by the American manufacturer
and there sold by his agents to the English
farmer for 800. This is another way in
which the American farmer is protected (?)

wTen years ago rubber goods had the
same tariff duty levied to "protect labor"
that it has to-day. At that time wages were
paid at the rate of $40 per week. Now 81
per week is paid. Remember. the tariff duty
is the same now that it was then, yet wages
have dropped Sc per week. If the high tariff
tax has anything to do with keeping wages
high why doesn't it work in this case? Will
some protectionist paper explain9 In the
above mentioned case the cause is given in
the importation of Russian and Polish
laborers, who came in competition with
American labor, and the latter had to 60 out
or work for less than half of former wages
The Republicans would protect the manu-
facturers against cheap foreign goods, but i
will not protect the American laborer agains

So much is written by Republican edi-
tors about the Cobded Club and its baleful
influence upon American politics that it is
well to remember that JAIME A. Garfield and
other conspicuous Republicans were men,
bers. The Golden Club, says the N. Y.
Herald, is devoted to free trade. 1t dimes
annually, and has small publication fund to
supply tracts and broadsides in favor of free
trade. This represents its material existence.
So far as providing money to subsidize
American newspapers is concerned, we take
it that its managers have about as much as
they can do to raise money for their annual
dinner. The Golden Club always seemed to
US to be kind of mutual admiration society
composed of loquacious people, free of access
to foreigners who would pay entrance fee.-
And this is probably the reason why Garfield
who was an easy-going fellow, and his fellow
Republicans, joined.

Mr.. Fitch is man of large fortune and

thousand sent him a congratulstory letter
applauding him for his courage and honesty
of purpose in standing for the people as

The APPEAL yesterday morning
received ! fsur-leaf pamphlet on
titled, s.Tbs Great Race" etc.
II vas published by W. W. Ers-
kirs 4 Co., cigar dealers, corner OF
Bush and Montgomery streets, San
Francisco.
The pamphlet consisted Of two
articles copied from the APPEAL OF
October 9th and 2Sth, descriptive
Of the big national race between
Harrison and Cleveland. The en-
tire article was credited to the ed
itor of the APPEAL, whereas only .
portion of it should have been.
The first article giving the entries
of the race, was sent to this office
By Controller Hallock with re-
quest to publish.
The article was clipped from
some Eastern paper, bat the name
of the paper was not on the slip,
and consequently the APPEAL was
unable to give the proper credit,
and it was published with = para
graph at the head stating under
What circumstances we had received
it. Next day the APPEAL published
an original article giving full details
Of the Presidential race ten days
before it came off. That the tip
was straight is shown by the re-
turns.
As the APPEAL does not wish to
appropriate that due another man,
it has made further inquiries, and
finds that the .sOriginal Entries
was from tho pen of man named
Drake, in Utah, who made speech
of it which convulsed his audience.
The only portion OF the San
Francisco pamphlet original with
the APPEAL is the description OF the
race itself, an article which was tn:
outgrowth, merely, of Mr.. brakes
speech giving facetious descrlp-
ton of the entries.
The credit of the whole business
properly belongs to Mr.. Drake
whoever he may be, and We trust
that the Salt Lake Tribune wa
hunt him up and give the public
the benefit of his full name.

printed 100, 900 copies for advertls
ing purposes, and sent one to Har
rison and Cleveland, and eaci

An Inmate of the Soldiers Home, in a
Fit OF Insanity, Commits Suicide.

Considerable excitement was caused here
yesterday by the suicide of Togus soldier
named Patrick Hand He was walking
through the Kennebec bridge about quarter
past ten when he was seen by Messrs. Black
well and Bartlett. who were crossing at the
time, to place both hands on the edge of one
of the windows near the middle of the bridge
and leap through into the water below. a
distance of thirty-six feet After striking
the water he evidently made attempts to
swim but the current was swift, and probably
being injured by the fall he did not succeed
and was carried under the ice below. His
hands were seen above the water till he
passed under the ice which he feebly grasped
but to no avail He came to the soldiers
home at Togus in September 1879 from
7 Lowell, Mass. He has been subject to
periods of insanity and at those times has
been carefully watched Mr.. Hand was
about 4G years of age. He had on nice
gold watch and chain at the time, and is
thought to have had considerable money
absut his person. We are informed that
on Wednesday he was paid $3.50 and
granted furlough of several weeks. Many
will mourn his loss as he was a very genial
man and much liked by those who knew
him
