AnObyIous TrutI,.

Mr.. Watterson's Journal .empha-
sizes an obvious truth in saying
that "no American, anywhere, is
hostile to American industry"
The Republican organs simply
betray the weakness of the high
tariff cause in repeating the silly
bugaboo that the Administration is
"hostile to American industry"
The Democrats are in a majority
in this country. Eight-tent6s OF
their voters belong to the industrial
classes. Is party thus made up
interested in "pauperizing labor?''
Do men naturally act against their
own interest? Do parties seek pow
er by trying to ruin the country?"
The charge is too idiotic to discuss.
1t might be urged that the Demo
Gratis do not know what is for the
good of the country, and will blum
der into a policy that would injure
It But the answer to this Is that
they are quite as intelligent as the
Republicans, as well as equally pat
riotic. Furthermore, in urging a
reduction of the tariff they are only
seeking to give effect to the recon-
mendations of a Republican Presi-
dent and two Republican Secretaries
of the Treasury. If the 20 per cent
reduction of a ~ per cent tariff
proposed by the Republicans in
1882 was not "hostilc to American
industry" how can the slight abate-
ment of AT per cent tariff menace
these interests now?
The common sense of the country
revOlts from the ''food for fools
which the Republican oraclcs are
now offering it.

The Blair Educational bill is one
of the first measures to be consid-
cred by the Senate and notwith-
standing the bad principle on which
it is based, will receive strong sup
port from all parts of the country.
So many persons are carried away
by the idea of having such a large
sum of money distributed among
the States, and they don't seem to
consider or care anything about the
principle on which it is distributed.
The Republicans are generally for
the bill as a means of decreasing
the surplus, and necessitate the con-
tinuance of the present high tariff,
and many Democrats are for it be-
cause they think it will lesson their
direct taxes.

with reference to the next campaign
for Governor, the writer desires to
draw attention to the fact that II
name not yet mentioned by the
newspapers, but often spoken OF
among the people, who have the
liveliest recollection of his fitness and
of his past valuable services to the
State, ought to be enrolled with the
most honorable names mentioned
for the office. Judge G. P. It. Moore,
of Mason county, is here referred to-
He is possessed of all the qualiffca-
lions both of head and heart to
make a good governor. He is
known everywhere in the State, and
esteemed wherever known. The
fact that he is not ambitious, or
seeking office, would make him all
the more acceptable, and it would
give us a leader who could not be
defeated.
