Rake says in last weeks Argus
I"Any man who IL 90 dull that he cant
See that flee trade would be ruinous TO
our country has not got enough inteIli-
lgence TO be allowed vote.' And Jake
takes il for granted that this sentiment
|is INDUCED in BY every Republican In
Dubois County. And elswhere, Rake
would like to add. No, no, Rake, there's
where you would be off, as we here
show:
Every advance toward . free ex-
change Of commodities IL IN advance in
every obstruction 20 lice
exchange Is born or the same narrow !.
|despotic spirit which planted castles
upon the Rhine to plunder peaceful

duction. and promotes civilization.
Nothing y worse than ooctIcoolt5m
Within 3 uallon, and nothing q better
for the peace Of nations than unrestrict-
led freedom Of commerce and intercourse
with each other.n
Who saId that? Rake screeches.

The columne OF the Courier are open
TO him. Let's hear from you. AZ toi
the changes going on In the DemocraticI
Ranks toward the enemy, they are not
very many In jasper. There are few
III Il rumored, but we have three months
In which to turn them back, and wei
will do II. IL We have to talk day and
night, and spend our last cent. All the
consolation Rake can get from the
Jasper converts he il welcome to only,
me boy, do not beget too much enthu-
siasm therefrom. They are not solid.
They are doubtful.
But to return to our mutton. Rake
says something 10 . rambling sort Of
way about the pauper labor Of Free
Trade England, Ind the greatness and
vastness Of one Bismark, ruler OF Pro-
lection Trade Germany. Bless his unc-
tious and wormy soul, why don't be ex-l
anime the papers sent out BY the Prof.
tectionists before he howls too strong.l
Now, Rake, haven't you made mistake |
In the countries? Let us seel On theI
papers sent out by the Protecti0nists We
average wages In thirteen occupationsl
thus:
Germany--per week \ 464l

per cent. and yet We are told. in tones or
derision, that Free Trade 10 . fraud. 81

ton is the salvation OF . nation. Facts
speak better than Puffs.
But Rake gets on his hind legs and
pricks up his long ears and brays forth
in tones OF despair. allow about New /
York p We answer. New York is oil
right. They pay big wages, not on &C.
