The republicans are actually frightened
about Kansas. The Kansas City Tines
prints letter written by HENRY BooTH,
chairman of the republican state commit
tee of Kansas, to leading republican Of
that state, in which he says:
The labor union vote MARTINS popularity
and the heavy men the democrats have NOM
mated for congress are playing havoc with US.
Everything seems 10 be at sea, and heaven only
knows where the revolt viii end. We CAM
talk high protection 10 the farmers for they
not only give us the laugh, but won't even
attend our meetings. We have worn the
bloody shirt threadbare. There is absolutely
nothing left for us TO do but pitch into our
adversaries. / advise you, then, in the present
emergency to give the labor union men -
and speak on local issues only. At all events
we must not allow the labor union to carry
Pawnee, rs you say they will. Rather than
consent to that ] would withdraw and have my
friends elect the democratic nominee as | have
no sympathy for these beggars.
Our own opinion is that BOOTH is worse
frightened than hurt, and that Kansas is
safe for the republicans. But the majority
will be greatly decreased, and the demo-
Gratis are likely to capture one or two con-
gressmen. Dear lumber, salt and cloth
ing and free whisky are not in favor with
the republican farmers of Kansas.

on rice 6s; per cent, although the labor
engaged in the production of these COM
modities is exclusively coiored. If tbs
new tangled republican theory that pro-
tective duties are for the benefit OF labor,
and not of capital, is correct, the passage
of the senate tariff bin would be the
severest blow ever dealt at the colored
men of this country since they became
free. Either the republicans do not be-
lieve in their own contention that the
tariff is for the benefit of labor, or their
representatives in the senate have been
guilty of the rankest treachery toward the
colored men. Which view does our Chi
nese contemporary, the Journal, take Of
the matter2

years ago our farmers had to find mar
ket abroad for only twelve out of every
100 bushels of their wheat Last year
they had to find a market abroad for al
most thirty-four out of every 100 bushels
of their wheat They are about three
times as dependent upon Europe for a
market for their wheat, after these twenty
years of high protection, as they were in
1867.
In 1867 American farmers sold 1.63 per
cent. of their corn abroad. Last year
they sold 2.4S per cent. abroad.
The farmer is the chief victim OF the mo-
nopoly tariff. When he buys he pays high
tariff prices. When he sells he gets free
trade prices. He is robbed both ways
If we were to have absolute free trade to-
morrow, he would not get penny less for
his products than he receives at present.
The high tariff has done nothing for him
except to plaster his land with mortgages.

THE republican tariff commission of 1882
in its unanimous report to the house of
representatives very truly said:
No rates of defensive duties, except for the
establishment of new industries. which more
than equalize the conditions of labor and cap
ital with those of foreign competitors, can be
justified. Excessive duties, or those above
standard equalization, are positively injurious
TO the interest which they are supposed 10 ben
eft They encourage the investment of CAPT.
tai in manufacturing enterprise, by rash and
unskilled spectators. to be followed by disas-
ter 10 the adventures and their employees, and
plethora of commodities which deranges the
operations of skilled and prudent enterprise.

lie declared that wheat had fallen in value
because American farmers had to sell their
surplus in Europe at prices fixed by COM
petition with the whole world-a state
ment that is entirely true. But he tried
TO make it appear that, in spite OF the fact
that the farmer has to sell his grain at free
trade prices, the high tariff has been a
great thing for him, because it has built
up "home market" for him.
This is all humbug, as Mr.. BLAINE
knows. Twenty years ago 1s67) we ex-
ported less than 100000 bushels of
wheat, or 1888 per cent. OF our produc-
ton. Last year we exported over Is, 900,

the smallest amount held between Feb. l
and Aug l, 1879, by the national bank de-
positories was larger than the largest
amount so deposited by Secy. FAIRcHILD.

the impeachment of JOHN SHERMAN. 1t

THE National is a republican paper
printed at Atlanta, Ga. 1t flies the Har-
rison-Morton flag from its masthead, and
fills its columns with hysterical rot about
British free trade" the 'pauper labor OF
Europe" ETC., etc, after the fashion of the
monopoly organs of the North. In re-
cent issue it says:
Somebody, and that somebody is CLEVELAND,
is seeking TO write the death-warrant OF our

test against such industrial disaster and de-
clare we will vote for our interests and our
welfare, we place alongside that protest our
eternal hostility to negro domination, and de-
clare our solemn conviction that this dread
specter is merely conjured up TO alright pro-
tectionist democrats.

He always voted at bis party's call,
And did no thinking for himself at al

''For his party, right or wrong" has
BEN HARRISON always been. When its
platforms called FOR tariff reform, as they
didin Indiana for twenty years, he was
tariff reformer Now that the platform
calls for a prohibitory tariff and free
whisky, HARRISON is for both. Every
thing goes" with this great exemplar
of heightened politics" provided it is
labeled republican.
All these things may commend him TO
the favor OF thick-and-thin republicans, of
party idolaters who have no minds OF
their own, and are ready to throw up their
hats for any man, however unworthy, and
any measure, however improper, that
bears the party trademark. But they
afford conclusive reasons why no person,
who believes in democratic principles, or
who calls himself a democrat, should
give BENJAMIN HARRISON their support
for the presidency, or any other office.
Gen. HARRIsON's boomers are going up
and down the state saying "it will be
great thing for Indiana if HARRISON is
elected president" Now Gen. HARRISON
as president would have no power TO do
anything more for Indiana than for other
states; and if he had the power, he would
not be iustifedin exercising it. The presi-
dent can DO nothing for any state except
to see that the laws are faithfully exc
cuted and the government honestly and
wisely administered; and the benefits of
such a course accrue TO all the states
alike. It is true that if Cen HARRISON
were president, JoHN New and Mr.. DUP
LEY and Mr. HUsToN and some other Indi-
ana politicians of that class would prob
ably be quartcred on the national treas
ury, but we don't think there is anything
in this probability to induce democratic
support OF HARRISON in Indiana.
II Gen. HARRISON really expects TO get
votes from Indiana democrats he is going
to be badly disappointed.
