THE FREE TRADE scARE-cRow.
The idiotic Howl of the Republican Leaders
To Make Party Capital.

The further attempt is made to silence the
cry OF free whisky by raising the idiotic howl
OF free trade; but the republican leaders know
that the message OF the president, which en-
bodies the democratic gospel on the tariff, eX-
pressly dsowns the policy Of free trade, ard
that the reduction OF duties proposed by the
Mills bill would leave them higher than those
OF the famous protective tariff OF 1872, while il
is entirely in accord with the avowed policy OF
Arthur Garfield Grant and other high repub-
lican authorities. The party managers, how
ever, are not satisfied with their scare-crow OF
free trade. They denounce the democratic
party as the champion OF British free trade
Relying upon the Ignorance OF the people and
the potentcy of demagOgsm, they charge the
president with entering into a secret alliance
with England for the ruin OF American manu-.
features and the starvation Of American labor
ers Bnt they forget that the high protective
policy OF their party makes II the natural ally
of the English tories while the reduction OF
duties, now urged BY the democratic party,
commends it To the friendship of the English
liberals and the English common people, who
have uniformly been found on the side OF the
United States. What is the meaning of this
strange senStiveness 10 the welfare OF Amer-
can manufacturers, and this morbid jealousy
OF their rights? Why should congress tax the
whole people for their special advantage? Are
they any more deserving than our farmers, or
any other class OF honest producersy Is there
any valid reason for singing them ont as pets
laws? The champions OF our great manutac-
turing mOnopolies should remember that the
lowering OF our tariffs has never injured tho
worhngman or the people, and that our low
est tariffs in the last fifty years have been the
most popular, although ruin was predicted as
the sure result OF reduction. 10 is urged that
high duties enhance the wages of
labor; but every intelligent manufacturer
knows that the rate of wages is
determined by the law OF supply and demand,
and not bV the rate of duties. Manufacturers
are no more incind to divide their prohots
among the poor than other men. Protection
enables them to amass great wealth; but they
hoard il, or lavish Il in ambitious projects, in
stead OF dividing il among their employees.
When Andrew Carnegie made his million and
a half in a single year, he did not dispense any
part of IL in largesSes among his t0iling operat-
ives, but reduced their wages That was his
method Of prote citing them. In the light OF
such facts the people are rapidly finding out
the truth, and the hOllowness and selfishness
of republicanism as il writes down its charac-
ter and aims in the latest confession of faith

entire South. The nation has not been sad
died with the Confederate debt and pensions,
nor have the bounties and pensions of our
Union soldiers and sailors been repudiated.
The doctrine OF secession has not been re-as
serted, nor have the freedmen of the South
been put back into bondage, while no eompen-
satiOn has been made, or demanded, for the
slaves made free by the rebellion. Let me add
that the prosperity of the South within the
past three or four years is altogether unprece-
dented, and that, in the words of Mr.. Curtis in
his late address at Gettysburg, the tree labor of
that section pays taxes on property OF its
own valued at nearly a hundred million of dol
lars, while for the children of former slaves
there are nearly twenty thousand schools OF
every degree, with an enrolment of more than
million pupils" / am not indulging in SEN
timent or any phase of emotional politics, but
dealing In the impregnable logic OF facts.
Time, it has been well said, makes more con-
verts than reason; sud all ask OF any rea-
sOnable man is that he shall look at the South
to-day, as it appears under democratic adj
ministratiOn, and contrast It's condition with the
spectacle of hell broke loose" which for
q series OF years scOurged its territory
under successive republican administrations,
which had at their command the whole power
OF the national government Gentlemen, can
not every thinking man see that what the
South needs is not sectional strife and pro-
longed autagOnism OF races, but cultivated
patience and goodwill in dealing with the
lneYltaOlc CONDITIONS OF progressf NO OtieF
policy, unless aided by miraculous interyen-
ton, can work out the regeneration OF that sec
ton OF the Union, aud at the same time insure
the development of its wonderful natural re-
sources. Strife and disorder still prevail in
some localities, and for some time to come
may disturb the peace OF society; but these
evils cannot be cured by federal action. The
panacea OF politics hos been thoroughly tried,
and has only hindered that process OF healthy
growth without which no cure is possible.
Mr.. Chairman, think / have thus made
clear one OF the reasons, and very strong one
for my faith in democratic success in this cam
paign. The false prophets OF republicanism
have been brought to shame, and the demo-
cratic party completely indicated by living
down the calumnies. This is now so palpably
true that one Of the recognized leaders OF the
republican party, Mr.. Henry Cabot Lodge, has
recently declared that ANY man who says that
the institutions of this country are in danger
from the election OF any candidate, or the sue.
cess of any party, is talking pernicious nom
sense" Every intelligent republican knows
that this "pernicious nonsense" has done its
work, and that every one of its evil prophecies
has been belied. Cleveland and Thurman not
only enter the race unshackeled, but on the in
side track, while the republican candidates are
saddled with the huge grist Of falsehoods 50
long and SO p0tently employed in the service
OF their party in the past

THE PENSION SERVICE.
More Money Paid out to the Soldiers Than
Ever Before.

Let me refer TO the matter Of pensioning our
soldiers. The most cherished memories Of the
war for the Union cluster around the men whose
valor saved it, and the widows and orphans of
those who were slain No subject OF greater
difficulty and delicacy could have been pre-
scented to the president than that OF passing
upon the numerous acts OF congress providing
for pensions which he has been called upon TO
strong sense OF gratitude to the nations de-
the Union, nor forget the natural impulse
OF every patriotic man to favor, the
most liberal and benefcent legislation
in their behalf. To the average public man IL
would have been far easier TO approve OF indie
feasible legislation under the pressure OF a
strong public opinion than 20 hazard the dam.
aging misconstruction OF his action in guard
ing the public treasury by the disapprovsl OF
fraudulent claims. But the president has been
inlexibly true TO the principle that public Of
fee is a public trust, and not an outfit for the
personal advantage of the incumbent, or a ma
chine TO be used for his political ambition. He
had the courage 20 veto the dependent
pension bill, and demoralizcd our legislation;
and here again the people showed their love OF
courage by approving his act, while many of
the leading republican newspapers applauded
it. He has shown the same courage and love
OF justice in his vetoes of numerous private
pension bills, while il should be remembered
to his honor that under his administration more
money has been paid out In the form OF PEN
siOns and bounties TO our soldiers and sailors
than was ever before expended in their behalf
during an equal period.

piled that he had no fault to find with the
spoils system, while he was exceedingly active
in his endeavor TO secure his full share OF fed
eral appointments. He voted for the Blair ed
ucational bill, which a number of the better
men in his party wisely opposed as a measure
unduly favoring the Capitalization OF federal
power. lie voted for the dependent pension
bill, which the president vetoed with the gen.
eral approval OF the people, while he intro
duced several private pension bills which
could not be defended. He voted for the Hen
nepin canal scheme, which some of the leading
republican papers justly denounced at the time
as a most gigantic and unqualified piece of job
berry. He has avowed himself In favor OF
steamship subsidies. and he is, of course. the
representative Of. the atrocious tariff policy of
his party which is now the vital issue of the
canvass and has suddenly become the great
test of republican orthodoxy.
Gentlemen, can such q man be trusted
as 4 leader in the reformation OF great
enough to lift his party out of the mire of
general decentralization in which it has landed,
and restore it TO the integrity OF its earlier
days? Is he able to work out the regeneration
and publication OF party already dead IN its
trespasses and sins? To ask these questions is
TO answer them. Gen. Harrison, il elected, will
faithfully carry out the principles of his party
as defined in its platform. lie will countenance
no revolt, or even protest. against his supreme
authority. He will 10 nothing to check the
current of evil which has completely carried
IL away from its traditions, and made il the
servant of corporations, monopoleiS and special
interests. lie lacks both the power and the
will TO rise above it, while his political career
has revealed no sign of discomfort with the
evil tendencies and growing abuses which have
made it what it Is Of ali the prominent leaders
of his party he is probably least inclined to
listen to the cry OF reform.
OF the candidates for vice-president need
say but little. Judge Thurman is known to the
whole country rs man of great ability and
large experience in public affairs. His fidelity
to the people has been splendidly illustrated
in his successful fight against the domination
OF great railway corporations, and his name is
the synonym of integrity, courage and devotion
to his country. OF the republican candidate it
is only necessary to say that he is wealthy
New York banker, whose craftsmanship is OF
an unknown quality, and who never would
have been dreamed of for the second Office in
the gift of the people but for the money he is
able to control.

A CRUSHER FROM JULIAN.
DORSEY AS A REPUBLICAN LEADER.
The Political Situation as Reviewed by the
Hon. George w. Julian, Surveyor
General of New Mexico-A
Mastery Effort.

There was large meeting at the Hen
bricks club room last night to listen to the
mastery speech of the Hon. George w.
Julian. Judge Pierce Norton presided at
the meeting. The speech was read by
Charles NJ. Cooper, as Mr.. Julian was I'M
able to be present on account of the press
of official duties in New Mexico. The
speech was listened to attentively. It was
read by Mr.. Cooper in captivating man
ner. who spoke as follows:

epoch in the history of the republican party,
that which marks its Decline was the desertion
from its ranks of the great founders and lead
ers in 1872. Among that llustrious number,
including Horace Greeley, Charles Sumner, Sal
mon p. Chase Lyman Trumbull and John J.
Palmer, there was another, equity as distin-
guished, equally as noted for his great worth
and sterling abilities; l refer to the Hon.
George w. Julian. 1t is our misfortune that
he is not with us tonight but he has been
kept away by illness and upon me has devolved
the pleasant duty Of reading to you his words.
You well remember his great speech IN this
city in 1876, which was delivered by that great
sage and leader OF democracy, Samuel j. Tilden,
as the masterpiece oil that cainpalgn. and II was
through him that speech was given Articulation
OF over one million printed copies. l hold in
my hands another masterpiece from the pen of
this great man. ! would that had his power
and graces Of oratory, his own inimitable
style, but it can be no more counterfeited than
can his words. I read:

The supporters Of Cleveland Thurman are % be
congratulated on the suspicious opening OF the
campaign of 1858. The democratic situation is
a animating as it is novel, and | sec in il the
sure auguries of victory. We have fairly
reached that parting OF the ways between the
old and the new which constitutes an epoch,
and every man can this who is able to dis
Germ the signs OF the times. We are on the eve
OF one OF those radical changes in party issues
aud party machinery which have diversified
the course of American politics from the be-
ginning, and created welkdefned historic
periods; and my judgment is greatly ut fault
u the republican party In November next shall
not be as completely swept out of existence as
the old wing party IN the campaign Of 1872.
Allow me TO state my reasons for this opinion.

LArrER-DAY REpUsLIcANIsM.
The Party of lincoln Far Away From the
Old Landmarks.

Old Landmarks.
Indeed, the republican party seems to
be vigorously employed in the work of self
destruction. It's early and greatest
leader Abraham Lincoln, believed in q gov
eminent .Of the people, by the people, and for
the people," but the party to-day believes in a
government dominated by corporations mo-
nopolies and class legislation. In its early life
the republican party espoused the old whig
policy of a tariff for revenue, with incidental
protection. In later years il practically re-
yersed this policy by favoring a tariff for pro-
another somersault and repudiates the teach
ings OF all the oracles of protection in the past
by demanding a tariff for protection, with no
revenue. The party has hitherto had the repu-
tation OF being more favorable TO temperance
than the democratic party; but it Low openly
declares that in order to prevent the reduction
of existing duties on the necessaries of life,
should il become necessary ID will favor the
total repeal OF our internal revenue laws which
would probably reduce the price Of whiskey to
20 cents per gallon, and reproduce the horrid
saturnalia of drunkenness, lawlessness and do
nestle suffering which swept over the nation in
the early part of this century. Ii thus commits
the double offense of hooking the cry of the
people for relief from the burdens imposed By
the existing war tariff and making itself the
powerful and remorseless ally of intemperance
and the saloons. Goaded onward by party
blindness, and yet smarting under the con-
sciousness OF its shameless inconsistency and
reereancy to principle, it seeks to wiggle out of
its dilemma by com pairing its platform TO that
Of the prohlbitionists. But the prohibitonists
demand the total Punishment of whisky from
the country by law while the republicans well
come its desolating food and leave the people
wholly unprotected against its ravages. The
prohibitiOnists demand the removal of duties
on food, clothing and other comforts and
necessaries Of life.D The republicans, as have
shown, avow their purpose to repeal the in
ternal revenue taxes entirely rather than
submit to the slightest reduction Of such
