Hon. r. M. MURRAY, of Piqua, O., who
has recently Joined the Republican party,
formerly represented that district in Congress
as a Democrat, and Is a gentleman of recog-
nized ability and character. In a letter CIV
ing his reasons for leaving the Democratic
party, he says the more be tried to approve its
course on the tariff and revenue question the
more hisconvictions carried him the other
way, until he found that to preserve his self
respect he must leave the party. OF the
Mills bill he says:
~ am opposed to the Mills bill, because it
was not fairly constructed towards the people
of the Northern States. 1t is a gross attempt
to legislate for one section and against anoth-
er. The farmer of the North is required to
submit to free wool, while the Southern farm
er is protected on his rice.
Salt, a Northern product, is placed on the
free list, and so is faxseed; but sugar, an arti-
Gle of daily consumption by rich and poor
alike, and almost exclusively a Southern pro-
duction, is heavily protected.
"No such attempt at geographical legisla-
ton has ever been made within my recollec-
ton. Its effect would be to break down
the industries of the North and build up
those of the South, and while l am a firm be-
lever in the principle that there should be no
North and no South, but one united country,
when one section of the country undertakes to
hog all the persimmons,' being interested in
the prosperity of the section in which I live. I
refuse to be whipped into line"

DIR. JOHN A. BROOKS. the ex-confederate
candidate for Vice-president on the Prohibi-
tion ticket, is making speeches in southern
Indiana, in which he divides time between
abusing the Republican party and the Jour-
nal. AS DR.. Brooks was a confederate and a
Missouri Democrat before he was a Prohibi-
ZIONIST, this is quite natural. The Evansville
Journal says of his speech in that city:
eff any person has had any doubt that the
prohibition movement, so far as relates to it's
organization into a political party, is calcu-
lated to play into the hands of the Democrat
ic party, the speech of Mr.. John A. Brooks,
last night, would have undeceived him. As
the Prohibition nominee for Vice-president
of the United States, his remarks were filled
with hostility to and ridicule of the Repub-
lican party. 1t did not take the
Doctor long to let the audience know that he
is a Southern man and was in the rebel army,
and as he progressed it was evident that his
sympathies were with the Democratic party,
because he does not believe that the Prohibit
~tionists have yet attained enough power to
be a thorn in the side of either Of the two
great parties"

UNEASY

The lot of the Democratic paper which has
always advocated a protective tariff is a very
unhappy one in this campaign.
The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle, one of this
class, tries hard to be loyal to its party and
administration, but feels constrained to call
the attention of free-traders and low-tariff ad-
vocates to the following paragraphs, taken
from a letter written by acknowledgement
Dick Taylor to the Charleston News and
Courier:
Eve made two great mistakes. Had we
avoided them we should have conquered you.
The first was we did not substantially destroy
the protective features of the tariff in the win
ter session of 1857 and 1858, by an act which
provided a rapid sliding scale to free trade.
We could have passed such a law
and held it tight on you till it closed the
furnaces, workshops, WOODEN and cotton mills,
and steel and bar-iron works of the whole
North and West, and scattered you workmen
over the prairies and Territories. When the
war was ready for you, you would not have
been ready for the war. You could not have
armed and equipped. aud put in the field a
large army, nor built a large navy. You
would have been without supplies, machinery
and workmen, and you would have been with
out money and credit"
The Chronicle is not so much concerned
with the question of whether the Mills bill is
intended to accomplish that which the con-
federates failed to dc, but points out that free
trade will be ~ruinous to the South, and that,
whatever is done, Southern industries must
not be touched, Or the condition that Taylor
pictured for the North would exist in that
region also. AS Mr.. Mills's bill carefully
avoids interference with the interests of the
South, it is possible that he had an eye to
future contingencies suggested by the Charles
ton writer. AT all events, the Chronicles
alarm concerning its own locality is needless.
What Mr.. Cleveland calls the Confederate
States" speaking in present tense, are still
carefully protected.

A SPECIMEN THIRD.PARTY BYPooRITE.


When the Rev. B.. W.. Cooper, now of
Brownstown, was pastor of the circuit in
Jackson county some eighteen or twenty
years ago, within the borders of which the
present Rev. Adam Scott, of the Paris circuit,
lived, he called upon Mr.. Scott, then an Off
cial member on the circuit, to carry the hat
to take the collection for the Freedmen's Aid
Society. Mr.. Scott ~peremptorily declined.
He did not believe in the Freedmen's Aid
Society. By reference to the minutes of the
Southeast Conference it will be seen that he
still does not believe in the Freedmen's Aid
Society, for Paris circuit gave not a cent to it
last year. The only significance in this is
that Scott has not changed much in his polit-
ical views since his family album contained
the photo Of j. Wilkes Booth, and he rode in
a Democratic procession with his horse
adorned with butternut branches. Mr.. Scott
had a right then to cherish the memory of
that photo among those of his family, and be
has a right now to hate the Republican party
just as intensely as be did then; but when he
alleges that he is DESTROYS of killing it out
right because it is not temperance enough for
him, it is we'll enough that the people should
know that this is no newborn hate, but only
the old hate under a new guise. Those who
know his antecedents believe that he talks
prohibition till the election and then votes
the Democratic ticket. He evidently has not
changed his political views since the day he
would not carry a hat to take a collection for
the Freedmen's Aid Society, for he neither
carries one now nor gets any one else to do it
for him; and 80 far as known. that photo still
adorns his family album. Let him denounce
the Republicans all he wants to. That IS his
right under the Constitution, but let him be
honest and say why.

throngs Of his fellow-men who daily visit him.
Ever since his nomination his homo has been

of admirers who call TO pay their respects and
wish him success. Il is estimated that he has
shaken hands With more than $4,000 people
since he was nominated four weeks ago. and
yet he is to-day as he was a month ago. simply
a plain private citizen. The mere curiosity
seeker visits the White House so he can cay he
has seen the President. But the thousands who
are visiting General Harrison are friends. not
curiosity seekers. for, so far as official rank =
concerned. be is on the same pane with his
visitors. But this great authorizing of neigh
bors and friends is a testimony TO General Hsr-
rison that he possesses in an unlimited degree,
the respect and onfdence Of his fellow-men.

A GOOD many people in this country will
be inclined to the opinion that Bismarck is no
fool. In a speech to the German Reichstag,
in May. 1882, advocating the passage of laws
under the operation of which the German en-
pire has since greatly prospered and improved,
the Chancellor said:
'The success of the United States in mate
rial development is the most illustrious of
modern time. The American Nation has not
only successfully borne and suppressed the
most gigantic and expensive war of all histo-
~, but Immediately afterward disbanded it's
army, found employment for all it's soldiers
and marines, paid off most of its debt, given
labor and homes to all the unemployed of
Europe as fast as they could arrive within its
territory, and still by a system Of taxation so
indirect as not to be perceived, much less felt.
Because it is my deliberate judgment that the
prosperity of America is mainly due to its
system of protective laws. l urge that Ger
many has now reached that point where tits
neces sary to initiate the tariff system of the
United States"

AS a political Punch-and-Judy show the
colored Democratic convention panned out
beyond all expectation. Fortunately the row
with which the first days session ended was
not accompanied by bloodshed, and the
strictly farcical character of the affair was
not marred by anything more tragical than
one or two knockdowns and a free exhibition
of revolvers. Yesterday the presence of the
police tended to produce at least a semblance
of harmony, without which it is impossible
to ~inaugurate great political movements. The
resolutions adopted yesterday are a literary
curiosity, and, as an effort at platform max
ing, exceedingly funny.

FACTS FOR WORKINGMEN.

The case referred to elsewhere, by a New
Albany correspondent. is one among hun
dreds of thousands. Here is a skilled me.
chanic, an engineer, who received 81 80 a day
in England, an unusually high rate of wages
there. He came to this country to better
himself" and he did better himself by secur-
lug a position where he is paid more than
twice the wages be could have hoped to OBJ
tain in the old country. He is intelligent
enough to understand that this difference is
owing to the existence of a tariff system
which protects the workingman in this coun-
try from competition with pauper labor. He
has hitherto voted the Democratic ticket, but
now that that party is endeavoring to estab-
lish free trade here he realizes that to vote
with it is to help reduce his income to the
English standard, and he declines to commit
so suicidal IN act. Every laboring
man Of foreign birth in this country
came over in order that his condition might
be bettered, and when he understands that
the policy of the Democratic party VIII, if put
in force. deprive him of the advantages he
now enjoys. and place him on the same In
dustrial footing with his iellow-countrymen

be Democrats and free-traders

If the Democratic party shecld succeed in
establishing British free trade in this
country we should soon have British wages and
British pauperism. Over l, 900, 900 of the in
habitants of Great Britain at the present time
are paupers, and the annual cost Of the pub
lie poor exceeds $50, 600, 600. This in a popu-
lation % per cent. less than that of the
United States. Even these figures only ap-
proximately represent the poverty of the low
er classes, for in addition to the actual pau
pers a still larger number are but a remove
from pauperism. No person knows what pow
erty is till he has seen it abroad. Pauperism,
as it exists throughout the United Kingdom,
is unknown in this country.
