the same as il was in 1861. when It attempted Ia
force the lsboring man of the North to the level

The TWO-Per-Cent Minute Fellows.
MIR. EDITOR: When l read the ar
ticle in the REPUBLICAN, by Lex" l
thought it was an effort to magnify a
mole hill'' into IA mountain, but since
then have heard sufficient to make
me think it timely and important
warn ng.
In the first place, gentlemen
from Coffey county have been in con-
sultation with Judge Cunningham
who represent the interests of the cut
throat chattel money loaners of Bur-
I1ngton. One OF them stated while up
here that his only objection to Judge
Graves was that his rulings were
against chattel mortgage holders and
that he had lost considerable ON ac-
count OF such rulings. These rulings
of Judge Graves, whether in accord
ance with law or not. l do not know
but evidently they were.
or these gentlemen would
have had them reversed in
the supreme court rather than in
Judge Cunningham s caucus
am informed that every one of these
cut throat, constituencies Institutions in
this city are working for Cunningham
and this fact of itself ought to be suffi-
Gent to put the people upon inquiry.
Ii Judge Graves has shown DISPOSE
ton to give the people who are dis
treSsed and burdened with obligations
in tue hands of hard-hearted loan
brokers all the protection which they
are entitled TO under the law, is it
not the duty OF the people to show
their appreciation of such a court, by
standing by him when assailed by those
whose business is to get rich by unjust
practices upon the poor?
Is 1t not safe to say that the people
ought to support whoever this class of
men unitedly oppose?
In these days, when the people are
crying out against the oppression of
the rich against the poor, would it not
be well for the people to sustain every
court that shows a desire to give them
their full and complete rights against
these OppressOrs2
l do not say that Judge Cunningham
would not do so, as well as Judge
Graves, but why take any chances?
He has not been tried, and besides his
personal interest is to a large extent
identified with the loan broker bust
ness and long experience in the collec-
ton may have stifled his sympathies
so that he would be disposed to lean
the other way; at least these men who
oppose Judge Graves want him, and
they are in a situation to know him
and this OF itself ought to be sufficient.

From the Republican.1cp :


From the Republican, :
The Irish Vote.
The Irish vote in the county is of
considerable Importance. especially in
New York where it largely determines
J the political complexion of that great
State. 1t has been the mainstay of the
Democratic party there, and has often
enabled the city to Offset the Republl-
can prepOnderance in the rest of the
State. For the first time in may years
there threatens to be serious deflec-
ton in this vote. The trucking course
pursued toward England by the pres
enC administration, and the open de-
termination to sacrifice American in
dustrial interests to British greed, has
heartily disguised many of the infiu-
entail Irish leaders and caused them
to throw their support to the party
which advocates the American doctrine
of protection. Mr.. Patrick Ford and
his Irish World are now outspoken for
the Republican candidates. This of
itself means change of thousands of
votes. The English press is filed
with concentrations of Cleveland and
his tariff policy-in fact more genuine
satisfaction is evinced in England
over his denomination than in any
State in the Union. Such expressions
as this from the London Globe can not
fail to have marked impression upon
Irish readers:
AS a rule, the Presidential contest
| has very little interest for the Old
World. On the present occasion, how
ever, an issue is involved which very
closely concerns Europe, more particu-
larry Great Britain. Mr.. Cleveland
has taken his stand on free trade, and,
although his party managers have con,
siderably planned down his platform, he
is universally recognized in the States
as pledged to initiate a new departure
in fiscal policy. Nor can there be any
doubt that he would act up to this I'M
Outstanding were he elected. =
The central issue'of the contest lies
between the maintenance of the pres
ent fiscal system inta and its mOdifi-
cation in the direction of free trade.
And on that broad question Mr.. Cleve-
lands candidature naturally and nee
essarily carries English sympathy.
What carries English sympathy nat
urally and necessarily carries Irish OPP
position. The Irish know too well
what English control means; it has
ruined their mother country and they
will not consent that it shall now be-
gin the work of destruction in their
American home. They are not de-
ceived; they are wide awake to the inn
portance of the issue, and are organic
ng TO meet it. A large Irish Harrison
and Morton meeting was held in New
York recently, and last week an Irish
mass convention assembled at Cincin-
natl and adopted the following signif-
cant resolutions;
WHEREAS, The English government,
its agents. Grover Cleveland and the
Democratic party, are bent on the de-
structi0n of our adopted country,
through their methods of free trade
and accumulation of American land, |
without first becoming citizens of the |
United States; be it
Resolved, That We, as loyal Irish |
men, in view of the tleSolation wrought |
IN our fair little isle through the same |
methods, unanimously indOrse the Re- /
publican platform as the only true !

Elsewhere will be found the an
nouncement of Col. A. NJ. Flory. In
referring to this candidacy the EmpOria
Republican says:
We call especial attention to the an
nouncement of Col. A. NJ. Fiory as a
candidate for county attorney. Col
Flory was a candidate for this position
two years ago, and with majority of
the delegates chosen in his favor was
defeated in the convention, some way,
by three votes. So gracefully did he
take his defeat. and 50 zealously did he
work for the election of his opponent
and the ticket, that he won the esteem
of the entire party. Col. F1ory is a
thoroughly loyal republican, and is at
all times ready to do stalWart service
for the party. He was a gallant sol
der, serving his country four years,
and from the ranks winning his way
and earned the title he bears. He is
competent to fill the posi-
tion he aspiTes 90. II the people of
Lyon county should confer upon him
the Office it would be ably, faithfully
and honestly administered.

that we further indorse and ratify
the nomination of that gallant soldier,
General Harrison, for President. and
l.. p. Morton for Vice President.
WHEREAS, During the dark days of
famine, death and starvation of our
kindred and friends in Ireland. this
same L. p. Morton did from his boun-
teous store. charter, outfit and send a
ship filed with the necessaries of life

ticket, under these facts, is unworthy
of the name.
Grover Cleveland, as he has done in
the case of the civil service reformers
and the old soldiers, will probably at.
tempt to mOIlify the Irish with some OF
his very thin taffy. But he will find
in this, as in the other cases, that fine
words do not heal bruises.

THE F.ATBEBS ar THE REPUBLIC
ON PROFECl ION
1t may not lie unintercsting to note
the views of the men who guided the
destinies of the American republic
through its first quarter of century,
upon the question of encouraging home
manufactures.
Washington urged congress to con-
tinue its efforts in behalf of the encour-
agemant of manufactures.
Benjamin Franklin took view s'rik
ingly like that promulgated with such
wonderful force and clearness by James
G. Blaine in his Florence letter-that
every manufacturer in our country
makes part of a market for provision
within ourselves, and saves so much
money as must otherwise be exported
to pay for the manufactures he sup
plies"
The great Alexander Hamilton said
as early as December 5, l19I:
An extensive domestic market fol-
the surplus product of the soil is of the
first consequence. 1t is, of all things
that which most effectually conduces
TO f1ourishing state of agriculture.
Thomas Jefferson declared that I'VE
must place our manufacturers by the
side of our agriculturists.
In special message, May 23, 1910
James Madison wrote to congress:
1t will be worthy the just and proyi-
dent care of congress to make such fur
Their alteration in the tariff as will
more especially protect and foster the
several branches of manufacture which
have been recently instituted and ex-
tended by the laudable exertions of
our citizens.
President Monroe made it his first
business tn address congress on this
subject directly after his Inauguration
by saying:
our manufacturers require the sys-
tematfc and fostering care of the GOV
ernment. Equally important it is to
provide at hone market for our raw
materials.
John Quincy Adams, in his fourth
annual message, said:
The greatest interests of an apricul-
turitl. commercial and manufacturinO
nation are So linked in union together
thal no permanent cause of prosperity
" oiie ni Ihem can operate without eX-
Ending its influence to the others.
Even John G. Calhoun, from whom
the modern free traders get their cue
felt constrained to say:
When our manufactures are grown
TO certain proportion, as they will un-
der the fostering care of the govern
ment, the farmer will find a ready mar
ket Tor his surplus product, and, what
Is OF almost equal consequence. Ger
tain and cheap supply for all his wants.
Andrew Jackson, another good DEM
ocrat, wrote in a letter to his friend
COLONEL Patterson, under date of Nav
IL. 1928
Upon the success of our manufac-
lures. as the handmade nf agriculture
and commerce. depends in a great
measure the independence of our coun-

A DEMOCRATIC exchange, after COM
menting on the proposed life of General
Harrison by General Lew Wallace,
suggests that James Russell Lowell or
some other equally distinguished writer
he hired to get up life of Cleveland for
campaign purposes, and goes on to say:
''Of course there is less of the martial
and incidentally of the romantic in
Cleveland's career than in that of Har-
rison, but for all that man of genius
or even Of good tact would find in the
democratic candidates history material
which might readily be woven into a
very captivating narrative" Thesug-
gestiOn is "A good one-frOm a republi-

THE republicans having captured and
done away with the only real demo
cratic flag-the Onfederate-they have
concluded to adopt a red bandana be-
cause it most nearly resembles their
old rag, and also the British flag, the
emblem of free trade. But they are
still at sea over the hat question, claim
ing that the old Tilden hat has been
adopted by the republicans. They now
