tramps took two trunks belonging to pas

burned the trunks. Four trampts were ar

This afternoon lady driving In buggy
was stopped by tramp. She whipped her
horse and got out Of his way. Citizens are
In arms. Several tramps about town will

NOT MUCH OF A SCARE.
From the N. Y World.

The more the presidential election
ereturns are examined fhe palmer ii
becomes that the t'scare'' is pretty
thoroughly extracted from the Stree
Ms Blaine opened We r~epubficsa
lcahHasaS tyedacla<tNg that the Issue was
zone Of ws%tt }.om end to end" and
the campaiknlesebs largely fought on
that question: The appeal on both
sides was to the wage-earnels in man
u~facturing industies.
The republicans told the working
men that tariff reform meant free trade,
and that free trade meant q reduction
of wages to the European level. The
democrats argued that free raw mater
ials meant more manufacturing, a
greater demand for labor and onse-
quently higher wages.
The returns are now mostly in. And
il appears that in nearly all the manu-
featuring centers east and west the
democrats either held their own or
gained. New York, the greatest
manufacturing city in the union, gave
81 900 majority for Cleveland and tariff
reform. New YORK state, casting over
100000 votes, would have gone the
same way on a change of 5000 votes.
New Jersey and Connecticut, both pre-
eminently and typically manufacturing
states, sustained the democratic policy.
In the great manufacturing policy. In.
the great manufacturing towns OF
Lowell, Lawrence and Fall River,
Mass. Manchester, N. H.; Providence,
r. L.; Bridgeport. Waterbury and
Norwich, Conn.,, and indianapolis, Ft,'
Wayne, Elkhart, Richmond aud Pera.
Ind, the democrats made large gains,
both positive aud relative.
Ia other words, the 'sscare" did not
work. Intelligent workingmen with
opportunities TO read, TO hear discus
sions and to think, we're not deceived
by the sophistries nor frightened by
the bugaboos Of the protectionists. 1t
was the ignorant and venal vote of the
towns and the bourbon bucolic vote of
the rural districts that beat the democ-
racy. If the discussion had begun even
a year sooner tariff reform would have
won. The democratic party has only
10 stick to its principles to win in 1872.
