the letter of the President in regard to

that the chief opposition TO the ratifca-

Nova Scotia and Newfoundland men on
their fishing boats 70 the exclusion of
Americans, andsat g, saving of just about
ona-half the wages. So long has this been
IN vogue tibet the aogeign fisherman have
becomes as familiar to the entrances to
American harbors IS are natives. Under
the tariff the duty imposed On foreign fsh
gives these fisher men very great advan-
tsge, which they supplement by having
foreigners to Isan their boats at half
wages, and in this way the profits of the
business have hsen large. The new treaty
red uces the high protective duties on
Canadian fig b, n return Cor the right to
fish N Cana dian waters. snd hence these
men oppoa; it, being willing rather to fish
as they East than to forego the
profit she duties give them. The
Presidents letter directs the attor-
ney to ST op this employment of foreign
contrsct labor, which is prohibited by the
laws of the United States, because. he
says: "I believe that the importation OF
such foreigners tends to the displacement
Of Anne rican labor" But these men see
nothing oat ofSplsee in insisting on high
tariff for gthe pfotection CT American

posse OF men from Stephens county
came into our town in search Of Henry
Askew, who had the evening before dis
appeared under very strange circum-
stances.
| Il seems that Askew was driving some
cattle home to his ranch in Stephens
Just about shutdown when two men
mounted on good horses dashed up be-
hind him, one on each side, and started
off with him at full speed in southeast
direction. His wife, who was in
sight when they left, gave the alarm
Immediately and the entire community
was soon in hot pursuit, but darkness
soon csme and trailing without blood
hounds was impossible. The hunt, was
continued in the morning and the trail
WAS followed for several miles In the
direction Of Merrimsn, Eastlsrd county
AT about 10 O'Clock some one OF the
pursuing party met Mr.. O. P: Watson Of
Ranger, who informed them that Mr..
Askew had been at his house early that
morning and secured fresh horse to 60
home on.
Askew's story was that the two men
could not by him be recognized, that they
informed him that they did not want him
themselves and that there was O crowd of
men not far c f that did, want him, that
they guarded him very closely, one riding
on each side for about twenty miles from
his home, and that about II O'Clock
they reached q. very noun
famous country In the south
east part OF Esstland county and thst on
going down q very rough place both men
got In front CT him, be 5eizing the oppor-
tuui.y, slipped f. his horse behind, al
lowing the horse to follow on with the
would-be kidnapers while ne hid himself
securely. His men, however, soon
discovered their loss and searched
very diligently and on several
occasions came very near
Askew's hiding place, bat failing TO fad
him they asve up their game and left
Askew remained qniet till morning, and
then pursued his way back to Ranger and
gave the above account Of his adventure.
The opinion is that Askew was to be mur-
dered on account OF his being very i'm
portant witness against some train
robbers. V s

from optnicns expressed among ourselves

different parts OF our southern church.
Whatever, therefore, may be the individ-

The following letter from Mr.. Mills is
going the rounds of the press i'd this re-
gion to show that potatoes are not on
the free list:

our bill. We leave them as they are by
existing law, The bill has been persist
emily and Intentionally misrepresented
by Republicans. There is not a word OF
truth in the charge they make. Very
truly, Il. Q. MILLS.
OF course the Democratic papers do
not point out the omission which Mr..
Mills makes that his bill as 1T passed the
House of Representatives contains this
clause " Vegetables in their natural
state or in salt or brine, free list" In the
original bill as prepared and printed
there was a further clause which put
potatoes, as distinguished from other
vegetables, on the free list. This raised
such an cutlery among the farmers in
some close Democratic districts that the
committee struck it out, but they omitted
to strike out the other clause and that
remains. The Democratic House Of Rep
resentatives has put vegetables ION the
free list, while its leader, who avows
himself free trader, boldly proclaims il

potatoes are left untouched, No Score.

ever rule potatoes are not vegetables.
Consequently potatoes are on the free

FREE TRADE KILLED THE CON-
FEDERACY,

VIM, d. Kelly in the August Forum De-
clares the Reason the North Conquered
the Rebellion.
Slavery never was the actual cause of
disseDsion between the North and South,
though it was always resorted to as an
available pretext. In the opening chap.
ter of Destruction and Reconstruction, :"
by Richard Taylor, lieutenant general in
the Confederate army, the author says
that "the Missourie compromise of 1850
was in reality truce between antagon-
istic revenue systems, each seeking to
gain the balance of power" and that
'thes qualification movement in South
Carolina was entirely directed against
the tariff"
In the course of letter to Northern
friend, which was published, this same
Gen. Taylor said:
I'VE made two great mistakes. Had
we avoided them we should have con-
quered you. The first was, that we did
not substantially destroy the protective
features Of the tariff in the winter ses.
sion of 1857 and 1853, by an act which
provided rapid sliding scale to free
trade We could have passed
such law and held it tight on you till
| il closed the furnaces, workshops,
wooden and cotton mills, and steel and
bar iron works Of the whole North and
West, and scattered your workmen over
the prairies and territories. When the
war was ready for you, you would not
have been ready for the war. You
could not have armed and equipped and
put into the field large army, nor built
a large navy. You would have been
without supplies, machinery, and work
men. and you would have been without
money and credit"
That 1t is the determination of the
Democratic party, rs at present organ
lied in the executive and legislative de-
upon the country the most fatal results
that could flow from a sliding scale OF
tariff duties, is proven by the terms oil
the Presidents message and the provis-
IONS of the Mills bill as it was given to
Congress fresh from the hands OF its
trainers. Its evident design was not to
promote symmetry of protection and
the prosperity Of the entire country, bu;
to maintain the industries of the old
South, which may be conducted by
ignorant and unskilled laborers, and to
reduce the people of the North to the
level af the masses Of the people of the
South, by closing the furnaces, work
shops, wooden and cotton mills, steel
and bar-iron works of the whole North
and West.

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION,

In another column we give an abstract
of the proceedings of the Republican
County Convention held at Arlington
last Tuesday including the ticket there
selected. While the nominees were
chosen by acclamation-only one candi-
date for each position except that OF
High Balliff being places IN nomination,
the mountain towns informally put for
ward M. j. Hapgood as their candidate
for Senator. The friends Of II. S. Will
son of Arlington in like manner warm
ly advocated his nomination as Sheriff
and it was understood that G. II. Mason
of this village would be presented to the
convention as a candidate for the office
of States Attorney. None of these gen.
tlemen, however, were named for the
sitions severally alluded to when formal
nominations were in order.
1t was understood that E, l.. Bates,
Esq, the present efficient States Attor-
ney did not desire denomination, and
Maj. A. B. Valentine in making this
statement paid a warm tribute to Mr..
Bates worth and capability in the re-
sponsible Office he now fills.
After the business of the convention
was over, Hon. j. G.. Mccullough was
called on to speak and responded in a
ringing speech whose only fault was its
brevity.
d. X. Simonds of Manchester, nomi-
mated on the Senatorial ticket, is well
known to the people of the county. As
editor of the Manchester Journal, he has
displayed full knowledge of leading
political issues of the day and ability to
discuss them in their true relation to the
best interests of the people. His exper-
fence as member Of the Legislature in
the lower house, gives him additional
qualifications for successful Senatorial
career.
VIM. P. Mattison of South SALISBURY
also nominee as one of.the Senators
was born in SALISBURY in 1928. lie
completed his common school course al
North Bennington. He is one of the
largest stockholders and general man
ager of the Eagle Square manufacturing
Company-a corporation that has bull
up the thriving little village of South
SALISBURY. Mr.. Mattison is inter
ested in the mercantile business and is {
thoroughly practical, energetic man
well read and versed in the chief topics
of the day. He represented the town il
in the assembly in l87l-72.
Want OF space this week prevents
further notice of the ticket, but the 9th
er candidates are known more or les
widely to the people whose supper
they as opponents of the Republican
party hope to receive.
