But the greatest note is about those
boots made from "free material. "
Why, Jacob, if you will go to Ches-
ter, Pollard will sell you suit of
clothes, If they are not burned up, 40
per cent cheaper than you could have
bought the same quality of goods I'M
der the Walker tariff, and they are
not made from free material either.
But how comes it that our boot shops
have died out since free material is
the great panacea? We are aware
that some of our manufacturing in
dustries have died out but Jacob
knows it is not the fault of the tariff.
Now as to the prosperity of the high
tariff period, coming as it did upon
the heels of an internecine war in
which about 5000, 900 of men were
taken from the producing class and
made extensive consumers, we beg to
submit few figures:
In 1860 the total wealth of the
United States was estimated at Sl6,-
$50, 000,0 900. Mr.. Chas. S. Hill,
Statistician of the U. s. Department
of State, places the national wealth
in 1880 at $4,000, 100000. 1t is
probably now fully $50, 100000 900.
1t is said that David A. Wells, a
prominent free trader, estimates it at
over S64, 100000, 200.
Thus it will be seen that the in
crease alone is more than double the
entire accumulations from the discov-
cry of America to 1860. Mr.. Null
hall of the Royal Society of London
says:
1T would be impossible to find in his
tory parallel to the progress of the Uni
ted States in the last ten years. Every
day that the sun rises upon the Amer
lean people it sees an addition of two and
a half million dollars to the accumulation
of wealth in the Republic, which is equal
to one-third of the daily accumulation of
all mankind outside of the United States
Jacob says a protective tariff fos-
ters monopolies, trusts and other in
EQUITIES. 1t does not. In the absence
Of proof our say is as good as his.

We publish, elsewhere, another tar
if talk by Jacob; and we must say
that it is a matter of surprise that he,
an intelligent reading man, should fall
into such gross and monstrous errors
in attempting to answer the structures
OF the SITTER upon his letter publish
ed two weeks ago. He says:
eff you had studied history carefully
you would have known that between 1916
and the time of Filmore's writing we had
war with Mexico that took $4,000 men
from the producing class, making them
extensive consumers"
Now what are the facts? War with
Mexico was declared in 1916 and con-
cluded in lS47, the treaty of peace
being signed Feb. 2, 1913. We quo
ted from Filmore's message of Dec.
I'd 1851 wherein he said that our ex-
ports of bread stuffs and provisions
had fallen from sos, 701, 1881 in 1S47,
at the cery time these 10000 men
aoere on Mexican soil, to S21 1886
in 1851, about four years after this
army had been returned to their
homes. He says $4,000 more turned
miners. Yes, but will Jacob saw that
they consumed the difference between
our exports in AZ and 81? And he
says we built railroads which caused
importations of foreigners who be-
came consumers. The building of
railroads and the emigration of for
eigners during that period as COM
pared with the last twenty years is
not drop in the bucket-in 1860 we
had 30, 900 miles of railroad whereas
we now have about 100, 900, and vet
our exports of food stuffs now reach
es $500, 100000.
What he says next we don't com
prehend-don't catch on to his mean
ing. But he says in the next ten
years everything advanced. Then
why did Buchanan say in 1857:
1--WE find our manufactures suspended,
our public works retarded, our private
enterprises of different kinds abandoned,
and thousands of useful laborers thrown
out of employment and reduced to want"

The Ticket aud the platform.

The Democratic party in the full flush
Of power, with all the vast machinery
Of ofIiceholden back of it, was compelled
to call to its aid man who had retired
to private life to bolster up the weak
head Of the ticket. While Thur
man has certain elements Of strength,
his weakness will be fatal to
the success Of the ticket. The feud
that has existed between the ban
dana statesman and John Mclean, OF
the Cincinnati Enquirer, was made more
bitter by the part Thurman took in the
tally sheet forgery cases at Columbus,
and us Mclean is q good hater he will
leave no stone unturned to vanquish
his ancient enemy. Tho wisdom Of
the Democracy is again doubtful on
account OF Thurman's age. He has lost
somewhat Of the fire and snap Of his
earlier years, and having been so long
Withdrawn from public notice has con-
scqucntIy suffered in the influence he
formerly possessed In his selection In
diana will sulk and the chances Of Re.
publican success in that State are there
by increased one hundred per cent
Thurman will be very weak in the South
on account OF his Union record and his
recent utterances in condemning Jack
sons speech defaming Lincoln.
OF the head Of the ticket little can bt
added to what has already been said. A
weak man mentally he has added to hi
uniltncss to longer preside over thu
destiny Of the Nation by the expression
contained in his celebrated free trade
message and his insincerity in enforcing
the civil service rules. In reafEirmint
the platform of 1884 the Democracy re
moves its former straddling attitude BY
declaring that it is correctly interpreted
by Clcveland's free trade message, ant
also endorsing the Nlillsbill. This bring
the party out in its true colos and stamp
it the enemy of protection.

The supreme gall OF the Democratic
Convention is shown in its reference tc
pensions. After Cleveland's vetoes and
the insulting messages which accompa'
MED them, and after Congress rebuked
him by passing pension bills over his
veto, the Democratic Convention boasts
that his administration has paid out
more for pensions to soldiers and sailors
of the Republic than was ever paid out
in an equal period before. No thanks to
Cleveland for this.
