The immense rink in which Mr. Thurman spoke

Judge Arnold (Mahone's candidate) was not such

THE PRESIDENT in mis- letter accepting hi

The PRESIDENT in his letter accepting his
denomination says:
I'VE know the cost of our domes-
tic manufactured products is increase d,
and their price to the consumer en-
HANGED by the duty imposed upon the
law material USED in their manutac'
ture. We know that this increased cost
prsvenis the sale OF our productions at
foreign markets in competition with those
countries which have the advantage of free
raw material. We know that contned to q
bone market our manufacturing operations
are curtsiled their demand for labor irreeu-
lar end the rate Of wages paid uncertain. We
propose, therefore, to stimulate our indus
Trial enterprises by freeing from duty the
imported raw materials which by the en-
~ oyment Of labor are used in our home
manufactures. thus extending the markets
Tor their sale and permitting an Increased
and steady production with the allowance
Of abundant profits"
II would seem that the possession of ordi-
nary common sense alone. without the faint
est knowledge of political economy, Is all
that is requisite to make everybody else see
this matter in the same light the President
does.

ALEXANDRIA.
MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 10.

THE GREAT fault of governments ruled oy
nar,ies is that in them the gravest and most
imoor,unt national matters, matters that a.
feet the whole people irrespective OF partles
necessarily become party affairs, and are
considered solely with reference to their pc
Iitical effect. The rejection of the Canadian
treaty by the republican Senate was pat
tv move; the democratic President, TO
cbeckmate it, asked for authority to issue
retaliation proclamation. That the latter
move was effective is proved by the fact thai
though the republican members OF the L. .
House Of Representatives denounced DOTH
the request and the man who made 1t, they
all voted for it. 1t was the same way WIFE
the Chinese treaty. Before it was deh
niteIy known whether that treaty had been
ratified or rejected, the democrats, as po'
litical move, introduced more stringent
anti. Chinese bill, the effect Of which bein2
dreaded by the republicans, the latter at
tempted to make it even more stringent
and hurried to pass it by their own eoiie
vote. Fortunately England is not balllcose
and there is nothing to dread from Chini
except the loss of her valuable trade.

COLUMBUS, Ohio. Sept. 1O.-"That is a

Judge and party arrived home this morning
safe and we'll, and will remain here quietly
for some days to come.

The PRESIDENT still professedly adheres
teaaciously TO civil service reform, and also
insists that the colored people be guaranteed
all their rights of citiz ,nship, though, as a
we'll informed man, he must know that

but of all parties, scout and aout the hum

PRESIDENT CLEvELAND's letter accepting
the denomination for the Presidency unaui-
mously rendered him by the national demo-
cratic convention was given to the public
last night. 1t is confined almost exclusively
to the question OF revenue, and is plain
statement of the Presidents present views
on that question. No rhetoric nor theoriz-
ing is attempted in it. II is statement Of
the facts of patiently existing evil condl-
ton, and of tho remedy which ordinary com
mon sense would suggest. 1t contains a
partial recognition OF the principle of pre-
lection, which is little disappointing.

lance st least, of interchange of business while
they abandon our consumers TO the uprcstrsin-
! cd oppression of the domestic trusts and combine
| tions which are in the same platform perfuncto
rily condemned
| They propose further TO release entirely from
| import duties all articles Of foreign production
! Except uxuricsI the like of which cannot be pro-
duced in this country. The plain people of the
land and the poor who scarcely use articles of any
description produced exclusively abroad aud not
already free, will find it difficult to discover
whore their interests regarded in this PROPOSE
ton. They need in their homes cheaper domes-
tic necessaries; AMI this seems to be entirely uG
provided for i'll this proposed scheme TO serve the
country.
Small compensation for this neglected need is
found in the further purpose here announced and
covered by the declaration that if after the
changes already mentioned there still remains
larger revenue than is requisite for the wants of
the government, the entire internal taxation
should be repealed rather than surrender any
part of our protective system
Our people ask relief from the undue and I'M
| ne essary burden of tariff taxation now resting
upon them. They are offered-free tobacco and
free whisky.
They ask for bread, and they are given stone.
The implication contained in this rty deca
ration that desperate measures are justified or ne
cessary to save from destruction or surrender
what is termed our protective system should con-
fuse no ono. The existence of such system is
entirely consistent with the regulation of the ex-
tent to which it should ba applied and the correc-
tion Of its abuses.
OF course in country as great as ours, with
such wonderful variety of interests often lead
ing in entirely different directions it is difficult
if not impossible TO settle upon perfect tariff
plan. But in accomplishing the reform we have
entered upon, the necessity OF which IS 80 obvi-
oas, believe we should not be content with
reduction Of revenue involving the prohibition OF
importstons aud the removal of the internal tax
upon whisky. 1t can be better and safely
zone within the lines OF granting actual relief to
the people in their means oil living, and at the
same time giving an impetus to our domestic
enterprises and flItheriug national welfare.
II misrepresentation of our purposes and mo-
tives are to gain credence and defeat our present
effort in this direction, there seems TO be
why every cndeavor in the future to accomplish
revenue reform shond not be likewise attacked
and with like result.
And yet no thoughtful man can fail to see in
the continuance of the present burdens Of the peO
pie aud the abstraction By the government of the
currency OF the country inevitable distress and
disaster. Ali danger will be averted by timely
action. The difficulty Of applying the remedy
will never be less. aud the blame should not be
laid at the door OF the democratic party If it s ap
piled too late.

The Political Situation.

The Springfield (Mass.) Republican.
one of the leading journals of the
North, views the political situation as
follows -
''We utterly dcprecate all mere fac
tiOnal opposition to the coming admin
istration; and our whole hope for the
Democracy and the Independents, is
that they will not relapse into mere
obstruction and fault finding, but will
push steadily forward for all genuine
reform. 1t may even be, as often
heretofore, that the principles Of the
defeated party will triumph through
their opponents. Greeley was beaten
i'll 1872. but his fight drove the Re
puhlicans to concede amnesty to, the
Confederate leaders, and Grant at last
withdrew support from the carpet
baggers. Hayes was elected by SEC
tlonal canvass, but he began his ad-
ministration by Il complete recognition
OF the self-government of the South
ern States. When free trade in grain
was impending in England the, Tories
carried the parliamentary election, but
the Tory leader, Peel, found it neces-
sary to abolish the grain duties. And
it now the Republicans prove wise
enough to steal tariff reform from the
Democrats, no tears need be shed over
that larceny. BY one way or another
the reform is bound to come. Only
education of the people, is bound to
win the peoples cause. And this cam
palgn has been great beginning of
such education. 1t has been prolific
III intelligent discussion, aud the peo-
pie have listened eagerly. Revolu-
tions which come through the head
are slower than those which come
through the heart. A complicated
| tax system rouses no such lofty pas
sion OF hostility as swept against the
slave power. No such huge plough
share has gone through party lines as
when the Republican party came into
being. The rank and file change but
slowly. But the march. of intelligence,
| if slower, is surer and more inevitable
than the rush of passion. This has
been political Bunker Hill. When
| it was announced in Parliament that
His Majesty's forces had gained vic
tory over the A American rebels, Eyes,
answered Colonel Barre, ''and few
more such victories will lose America
to his Majesty" Gentlemen of the
monopolies, you have beaten this
time-but the peoples time is coming
fast!
