The Real Issue.

OF the Importance Of this campaign Ii
must be constantly borne in mind that
the fundamental issue Is of long stand
lny and that it is a contest between
the free labor Of the great industrial
and agricul ura cen,erS Of the States
that we're loyal to the Union during the
war and those States which tiled to
le., rov the Union in the interest oi |
Jespiscd slave laEor. The South has |
| champiuned the cause OF tree trade and
cheap labor us consistently and per
sey.ringsy Us it championcd the cause of
slavery ur to the issuing Of the emanc-
ration proc!ariation. Free trade, cheap
rcoro labor, fraudulent elections are
what the Democracy are contendinS tor
ia this campaign. Deduct from the
Democratic column the list of States IN /
which the popular vote is suppressed |
and that party Will not be sure Of one !
State in the Uulon. Take from its
, PLATFORM the one principle of free trade |.
which the souih, with the a.d of Great |
. i;rilian, has always been trying 20 force
upon the North, ani 1t nil have moth
/ ing left upon which to make cam
paiyu. Before the war j! had no issues
except slavery, State sovereignty, and
fee trade The emancipation procla-
! nation Of Abraham, Lincoln eliminated
the first OF these sues, the second is in
/ .beyance, but by no means dead, and
the third is the great issue upon which
the Sou.h is kept solid Upon the sue
cess Of free trade the South de. ends 10

North to The condition of the freedmen
Of the South; to keep the Old save
States, as ncsily us possible in the con-
dl ion they were in before the abolition
of slavery. Her statesmen are far
sighted enough to know that protection
would inevitably introduce Il class of
hardy, ;nt,lli- ent worhln.m, into the
South that free schools would soon
spring up around them. and that >pir-
it of indepen .lence, self-reliance, and
courage would he communicated to the
negroes, who would rot be long in as
Ser,ing their rights to the ballot. In
other words they know that protection
to industry Is the lever which raises the
working masses to Importance and in
ilucnce in community, and that, in
their case. it would prnporti"nate.y y
lower the li:tndful of political cunspir-
alpis who rule the South, and through

therefore, made flee trade the sole is
