LAST SHOT IN LOCKER.

With this issue of the Journal
tho campaign closes as far as news
paper arguments are concerned,
Having supported President Cleve-
land in all his public acts and be-
lieving him to be honest, conscien-
rious and sincere friend of the great
mass of the people of this Republic,
we could not find it within us to
oppose the issues which he raised
in his message in December last,
and more especially when the stylsof
opposition thereto fully made its APP
pearance. We have taken just as
deep an interest in the reelection of
President Cleveland, with the issues
as presented i'll the campaign, as we
did in the election of Abraham
Lincoln in 1861. This VIC have
done in the interest Of the people,
with the hope of securing pure and
economical Government, and without
promise or hope of reward, other
than that which comes in legit-
innate way of patronage to an hon
estly and conscicntiously conducted
business enterprise. Only this and
nothing more.

THE TARIFF ISSUE.

Tn an elaborate editorial on "Opening
the Campaign" Harper's Weekly express
ed itself in the following unmislakable
language:
The most significant declaration OF the
Ohio Democratic platform il this:
1--WE demand suc, jldicious reduction
OF the present bnrdensome tariff rs shall
result in producing revenue sufficient
only 10 meet the expenses OF an econom-
ical administration OF government, the pay.
ment OF liberal pensions 10 Union soldiers
and sailors, and the payment Of the inter-
eat and principle Of the public debt; and
il necessary, we favor sucli reduction of
internal revenue, except on liquors. as will
prevent the accumulation of surplus in
;he national Treasnry and we denonnce
any attempt to abolish the tax on liquors
for the purpose OF keeping mp the present
unjust, unequal, and onerous tariff sy-tem." ;"
IL was assured that this would force
The Republican Convention to some equal
ly explicit declaration. and would compel
il to state whether, while vociferor-y
claiming to be the true temperance party,
il will propose 10 go into the election of
next year as free whiskey party. But
| the issue has been lodged ~ the following
rather disingerioH fashion:
ave are IN favor OF a protective tariff
10 secure to American citizens the privil-
ege OF supplying every article which can
he produced as well in The United States
ns in other countries, and sufficiently 10
supply American wants. We denonnce
The Ohio Democratic platform of tariff
for revenue only, and which demands an
indiscriminate reduction in all duties on
imported articles, and importations, thus
giving American patronage To foreign pro-
incers and foreign labor, rather than 10
our own"
III The tax on liquors remain, the revenue
will still he redundant, and theie must
lie some relief from oyer-taxaiioD, which
must he found in reduction of the tariff.
The Democratic Convention Uotld seem Ia
haze led The tpay in presenting definitely and
pjurageousiy Me tariD Issue, and 10 have done
il in a tgdy that will command general at
tcntion and wide symphathy. The present
protective tariff is enormously high, and
produces an immense surplus. 1he pro-
tectIye policy IS defended upon the general
theory that IL ia favorable to American
labor, But neper tOds that labor more dis
eOnted and ander Me enormous taxation Of The
tariff i. has gropn steadily more so. This
fact. and the Just statement in the Cleve-
land platform OF the purposes for which
taxes should be jnid-s statement not
unlike that made by 80 good Republic. n
as President Arthur--will lead many
Republicans TO reflect whether high pro-
teclion ia the secret Of national prosperity
and contenlment, and phethey The general
policy indicated by The Ohio Demoerats may
NOT be tporh trial.

But without further reference TO these
questions the charge OF the Tribune is that
The Secretary Of the Treasury has "pourrd
out IN great flood" the money that has
been used to put up the price of wheat.
OF course the Secretary has done this, ii
ct all, in the purchase OF Government
bonds. Does the Tribune object 10 such
uSe Of the surplus in the Treasury3 1t ia
evident that Mr.. Harrison, the Tribune
nominee for the Presidency, does not agree
with the editor in this view OF the matter.
In fact, we must interpret the letter OF the
candidate, in which he accepted the nomi-
nation, as urging this very course upon
the dep 'rtment. 1t can mean nothing else.

And now when the Secretary has sought
10 meet Mr.. Harrlson's views IN the mai

man of the Republican candidate and de-
clares that this was done in the interest o
sreculator-, with view Of putting up the
price OF wheat and enhancing the cost o

recommend that use of the money with the

opinion of it and said:

place. The pronunciamento that fol-

Every laboring man, wlethsr in agri-
cultural or manufacturing pursuit, will
see and fully understand that President
Cleveland's message distinctly teaches
three thinga, VIZ.
1. That no tariff law shall be enacted
that does not fully protect the difference
between the wages of labor at home and
abroad in competitive productive indus
tries.
2. That it demands enlarged free raw
materials Is to enlarge our productive in
dustries by cheapened products without
cheapening labor, and thus increase indus
try by increasing both markets aud CON
sumption.
8. That it calls t, reduced taxes on III,
necessaries of life, and proposes TO cheaper
articles OF indispensable use, while main
tanning taxes on luxuries, tn increase til,
purchasing power OF the fruits of labor
whether in the shape of wages or OF th,
immediate products OF labor.
