THE journal said:


1.-THE man or the paper that says the Re-
publican party is not committed TO a revision
of the tariff deliberately and purposely falsi-
FEES"
And this the Journal repeats, despite the
objections Of the News, that the revision is
not to be on principles which the News, as =
free-trade newspaper, can assent to. The
Journal did not say that the Republican party
was committed to a revision Of the tariff for
the reduction Of the surplus in the interests
Of free trade. but for the protection OF home
industries-that is, TO increase the demand
for home products, thereby increasing the
necessary supply, and thereby increasing the
amount of work and the amount of wages for
home workingmen. Let Us see. The Repub-
lican platform says:
THE Republican party would effect all
needed reduction of the national revenue by
repeating the taxes upon tobacco, which are an
annoyance and burden to agriculture, and the
tax upon spirits used Ia the arts and for me-
chanical purposes, n BY SUCH REVISION OF

not surprising. 1t was an immense demon

Gates that the workingmen are doing their
own thinking, and a good deal Of it, and they
are rallying around the standard of protection
to American industry. The Sentineps at
tempt to break tho force of the demonstration
was stupid as we'll as malicious. The state
ment that mot 10 per cent. of the miners
came of their own ~volition and at their own
expense" is utterly untrue. They all came at
their own volition and their own expense.
No inducements of any kind were offered
them. They not only came at their own ex-
pense. but they sacrificed a days wages, for a
miner only gets pay when he works. The
Clay county demonstration was gotten up en-
tirely by the miners and other workingmen,
and the Sentinel cannot break its force or de-
stroy its effect by lying about it, and insult
ing the men by telling them they are con-
trolled in droves by somebody against their
will.
