SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 16.
Ex.sgcRErARY McCULLoCH says

"What our manufacturers as we'll as our
farmers need is an increase in the foreigR
demand for their productions. lfthere ia any
other way by which this can be secured than
nv reform of the tariff. which stands In the
way of international trade, 1t has not yet
been made public. The protective tariff can
no longer be defended on the ground that
wages are lower in Great Britain than In the
United Statee, which is not only the most
productive but the most inviting OF coun-
tries, with doors wide open to all comers.
IF labor WAS not more efficient here than 10
other countries, the foreign laborers VINO
every year are coming by thousands Woulu
eoualiZe it's cost. To me 1t seems very ciesr
that all the great industrial interests In sne
IToited States are greatly in need OF freer
Trade with other nations, and that this can
oply be brought about by radical cnange
in our financial policy"
Almost every we'll informed and reason
able man. who has devoted any time to the
consideration of this subject, and who ia un'
p-eiudiced and disinterested, must think OF
it ust as Mr. McCnlloch does; and the re-
suit of the recent elections In the North
shows that there are great many more Of
such people IN that section of the country
now than formerly. and that their number
is increasing.

GENERAL. MALONE says his defeat was
caused by democratic fraud and bulldozlng.
Ru, the Generals candidate for Attorney
General, Mr.. Lurty, is reported as saying
that the real cause was the failure OF the
Generals disbursing agents to put out the
funds entrusted to them for the purpose of
buying votes that the Generals voters
having heard of the fabulous sums he had
received from the national republican COM
mittee, came to the polls on election day
under the conviction that each one of them
would BE- ''seen" by the agents referred
to, but that being disappointed, they readily
sold out to the democrats, who were on
hand with pockets full OF money. Captain
Lurty's reported explanation of the defeat,
whether true or not, is certainly more rea-
sonable than the Generals.

Andrew Cahoon swore to the same obligations,
