GERMAN-AMERICAN VOTERS.

Der Republicaner, New York.
The German-Americans, both North
and South, can be brought in accord with
the Republican party on the issue of pro
lection of American industries and pro-
diction. The Germans are mostly me-
chanics, operatives, artisans and farmers
many owning their own shops and fac
tories. A protective tariff is to them OF
vital interest, question of existence.
Communications who have enjoyed
the benefits of a protective tariff in this
country can never be brought back to the
pitiable condition and the pauper wages
from which they have fled to our shores.
They want higher, but not lower, wages
and the most ordinarily educated Ger
man-American soon learns that free trade
means pauper wages, and consequently
half-fed and half clad wife and children
and the low social standing of father
| land.
Der RepublicGIleT endeavOrs to teach
its German readers that the question of
maintaining a protective tariff is to them
of as great and vital Importance as was
the question of maintaining the Union,
the enforcement of the laws, the abolition
of slavery, the establishment of the Ma
tional credit and the resumption of specie
payments.
To this end we have translated the ad-
dress of Senator Sherman upon the tariff,
which contains valuable features bearing
acpaniaIIv I1pop protoatinp ond ifc hapafit
to the labor and industries of the cOun-
try.
AS Senator Sherman is the acknOwl-
edged champion of the issue of protec-
ton, the Germans all over the United
States realize that he is the man who
most thoroughly understands and can
most equitably adjust the joint interests
of capital and labor.
Should he be nominated for President
the Germans, for the above reasons,
would be solid for him, as self-interest
is the most potent of all arguments.
The message of the President has made
the question of protection the vital issue
of the day, and We, therefore, have to
nominate man for President who will
fill the niche that is open for him.
1t has happened again, since the time
of Lincoln and Grant, that the place
"seeks the man." and the man that best
understands the question of protection
in all its bearings, who can inaugurate a
policy that shall satisfy all just and equit-
able demands of high and low, rich and
poor, North and South, East and West,
is the man who should be nominated for
the Presidency; and if that man should
be John Sherman the. United States, hold
ing the balance of political power in the
four doubtful States of the North and in
seven Southern States, viz: Virginia, West
Virginia, Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky,
Tennessee and Missouri, would unani-
mously vote for him.

OBsERvANT farmers in Ohio are con-
vinced that the quail is useful to agricul-
ture. 1t is beautiful bird, and its whistle
is as cheerful as the plow-boy's. Why
not include Bob White among the song
birds, and give him the perpetual pro-
lection of the law? We can very well
do without quail-on-toast. The love of
quail shooting by sportsmen is but a
murderous passion. Let us all be pro-
tectiOnists in behalf of poor Bob. This
is a subject not unworthy the attention
of the Legislature.

SPEAKING of the bad acts in retalia-
lion committed by extreme Prohibition
lists and by liquor men, the New York
Sun remarks that "it sometimes seems
hard to say whether temperance or in
temperance is the more intemperate."-
The worst act the Prohibitionists have
committed is joining hands with Demo
Gratis to retaliate upon the Republicans
and embarrass and defeat wise and prac-
tical restraints put upon the liquor traf-

INGALLS, ON PROHIBITION.

New York Evening Post.
Senator ingalls,, referring to the bills
to provide for prohibition in the District
of Columbia, which are soon to come
before the District Committee, of which
he is Chairman, says: 81 will put these
people to the test. There is great need
for shaking up among those gentle
men who preach prohibition all day and
drink champagne at night. 1 pledge
you my word that they shall either have
to fish or cut bait. I'm going to make
them prove their sincerity. As a mat
ter of fact l don't see anything wrong
with prohibition. 1t works very well in
Kansas. The prohibition people have
the prohibition law-that's what they
wanted, and the drinkers have all the
whisky they want. There seems to be
no reason for complaint there"

A MOONLESS MONTH.

Golden Days.
The month of February, 1866, was in
one respect the most remarkable in the
worlds history. 1t had no fun moon.
January had two full moons, and so had
March, but February had none. DoyOu
realize what rare thing in nature that
was? Ii had not occurred since the
time of Washington, nor since the dis
covery of America, nor since the begin
ming of the Christian era, nor the erea-
ton of the world. And it will not oc-
eur again, according to the computation
of astronomers, for-how long do you
think?- 2,500,O00 years. Was not that
truly wonderful month?

A RETIRED army surgeon in London
poisoned his wife. Two weeks later he
married his mistress; three days later
still he was arrested on an indictment.
In ten days more he was convicted and
within two weeks afterward he was
hanged. Only six weeks elapsed be-
tween the commission and discovery of
the crime, and only four weeks between
its discovery and its expiation on the
gallows. This is genuine justice.

Thus the Alb
noble woman:

1.-THE picture so often drawn of the
young wife of Abram Garfield, the father
of the President, who with her husband
left an Eastern home and went to the
wilds of Ohio, there to literally cut out
home in the wilderness, is no fancy
one. Garfield himself told it often and
rejoiced in it. The kiss that the martyr
President gave his mother March 4, 1881,
in the presence of thousands gathered
to see the ruler of fifty millions of peO-
pie inaugurated, was but trifiing recOg-
milton of the efforts made by that aged
mother in his childhood to make him
worthy the honor of the Nation"

 The blanks which gained the most applause were those leading to woman suffrage the prohibition of combinations of capital and the reduction of the surplus.
 Hon. John M. Olin, of Wisconsin, pre- sented minority report, signed by himself alone, setting forth that the right of equal suffrage to women should be settled by the states according to the public sentiment in those states, and declaring that as rapidly as the Prohibitionists came into power they would remit this question to the people, to be settled at the ballot box.
