Last week we noticed that Mrs.
Peter Hoke, of Emmittsburg, Md,
had drawn $4,000 in the Louisiana
State Lottery, and we give the fol-
lowing: About two weeks ago Mrs.
Hoke sent one dollar to NJ. a. Dau-

ticket in the May drawing, and re-
ceived Ticket No. 81, 1872. After
she learned that ticket No. 81, 492

by express to New Orleans. Just
seven days after the express agent

Hoke's containing draft on New

The TarIrQ naaflnI,.

The tariff question is one that the
people must carefully study ott for
themselves if they wish to arrive at
conclusion that their own reason
ing can Justify. The subject Of the
widest discussion is the wool tariff,
and it opens the best field for intel
ligent argument In the first We as
sumo that the protective tariff sys-
tenn is a rank fraud without pal
liating fault. 1t brings no better
prices to the laborer or the prbduc-
err. Its only function is to make
enormous wealth for the projected
manufacturer, and that it does to
perfection.
But we feel able to prove that it is
a political iniquity and helpfulto the
very few and oppressive to the very
many by the arguments of the great
est advocates. And wool is algood
subject to begin on. The piesent
tariff on raw wool of average grade
is 10 cents per pound. ASSUME that
the farmers raise on an average say
100pounds which sells for ten dblIars
more than it would without the tar
iff With the money realized from
the sale of wool he buys a few need
ed things for his household. The

The people find the promises OF
Tilden's candidacy, which they en-
dorsed by their suffrages, fulfilled
by the performances of cIevelandis
administration. They are fully
satisfied that the Democratic party
meant what it said in the platforms
of &c, 80 and 's4, and that it is not
TO be diverted from the full and
faithful observance ofits pledges by
any hope of temporary partisan or
local advantage. The Democracy
sought power under solemn cove
nant to serve the country better
than the Republican party did. 1t
has done SO, and the. people are con-
tent. The general issue of the
election is: Shall progressive and
economical Democratic executive
work be continued, or shall reac-
tionary and extravagant Republi-
canism be re-established over the
land2 To that question there can
be only one response, well done,

FARMING tools, ploWS,&c. ~ 4ss'st3t . =
This list is enough to illustrate
our point.
Assuming that the farmer who
has sold his wool under the ten dol
lar tariff invests the entire proceeds,
twenty five dollars, in the foregoing
articles as follows:
Sugar, s1.0O, tariff 60 cents.
Shoes, $3.50, tariff IS &
Hat, s1.OO, tariff 10 -
Plow, $1,000, tariff S4.70
Pair blankets, $500, tariff s3.5
Coat and pants, $3.50, tariff SOL
Total investment $500, on which
he has paid s13.49 by way of tariff.
So if the wool tariff protects the
wool grower of course it protects
all other industries that are helped
by tariff, and the farmer who
makes ten dollars extra on his wool
by reason of the tariff spends all
that and S3.49 more on the purchase
of the goods we have enumerated.
If it were not for the tariff the pur-
chase we have itemized at $500
would cost S11.51 Therefore while
it is true the tariff made his wool
bring ten dollars more than it would
have fetched without tariff, it is
equally true that he is the loser to
the extent of 33 per cent. Another
point is that wool the only farm
product upon which there is any
protection that protects, while
nearly ever article that enters into
the farmers household every day
for consumption is the subject OF
extravagant tariff.

We observe that Mr.. ii. w. Oliver,
of Pittsburgh, is on the committee on
resolutions oft the republican Nation
al Convention from Pennsylvania.
We would suggest to Mr.. Oliver the
annexed extract from the report of
the tariff commission of 1883, of
which he was a shining light, and
the reputed author, might be util-
lied in his platform building. Hear
the Oliver tariff commission and be
silent that ye may hear:
A substantial reduction of tariff
duties is demanded, not by a mere
indiscriminate popular cIamor, but
by the best conservative opinion of
the country, including that which
has in former times been most siren
uous for the preservation of our
national industrial defense. Such a
reduction of the existing tariff the
commission regards not only as due
recognition of public sentiment and
measure of justice to consumers,
but one conducive to the general in
dustrial prosperity, and which,
though it may be temporarily incon-
venient, will be ultimately bene-
fetal to the special interests affected
by such eduction.-Pi Pittsburgh Post.

The Republican cry of free trade
is as false as their assertions in the
campaign of 1884, when they said
if Cleveland was elected the negroes
would be put back into slavery, the
Union soldiers would be deprived
of their pensions and the Confeder-
ate soldiers would be granted pen
sions- The wayfaring man, though
a fool, knows the Republicans lied
when they preached such silly non
sense. They place very low esti-
mate ON the American voters in
tclligence if they expect to catch
his vote by their false yell of free
trade.

The Democratic party has been
and is trying to so arrange taxation
that it shall be the slightest possible
burden upon the people This is
tariff reform. We are in favor of
all reform that is for the benefit of
the people. We want this govern
ment strong enough TO protect ev-
cry man at home and abroad. but
we want it amenable TO public opin-
ion at home. We don't want a
government supported by combina-
tons and trusts and pools. but
of the people, for the people and by
the people, with the people as mas
ter and the government as servant.
The Republican platform is a
square-toed declaration in favor of
trusts, monopolies, and free whisky,
while they favor taxing the necessa-
ries of life. They would give the
poor man plenty of free whisky
the thing he don't want-and would
tax him on the necessarles of life,
that monopoly might flourish like
a green bay tree.
The country now knows exactly
where the Republicans stand.
There can be no installing the issue
of the campaign. We can go be-
fore the country on that issue and
beat the Republicans out of their
boots. You will have to fight, Mr..
Voter, under the banner of trusts,
monopoly and free whisky, or under
the banner of tariff reform. Take
your choice.
