A very costly local issue with which

General Air Richardson in the tin plate

In his several interviews Senator Rich

perverted mind Of a protectionist crank
that the consumer would pay an in.

of the increased tariff on tin.

THE arraign ment Of the Republican
party by Mr.. Breckenridge was more
forcible because II was made in such
polished and courteous language. It
needs only a statement Of the case to
show that the party Of an accidental and
fraudulent majority has abused it's
power and wronged the whole people, It
Is not the Democrats only who will suffer
from its revolutionary recklessness,
careless legislation and Ubiquitous taxa
tion. All win suffer alike, and even
now the Northwestern farmers and the
Eastern mills are suffering. The South
is still secure in her wonderful natural
resources and in her king cotton
crop, and her pure and economical
local governments. The cry will come
first, fsrcest, loudest and longest from
the Northwest and the East and from
the farmers of the Middle States who
are in sight of the tall chimneys of the
protected industries Besides inhicting
a great injustics on the whole people the
tariff bill is wretchedly bad politics II
smacks Of the same flavor with which
the kingly prerogative was urged
by the stuarts aud by which
they fell; with which Elizabeth
granted the monopolies for which she alb
jectly apologized TO save her throne
with which the pro-slavery party In this
country demanded the extension o.
negro slavery In the territories with the
resulting civil war and abolition O
slavery. The Republican party is inso
lently and inevitably marching on to Ii
doom, as these and other oppressors ant
robbers have marched before.

said Mr.. Breckenridge. In 1888 the Re-

the bin Of that year was anal. Unjust
and unequal laws cannot be settled till
they are abrogated. Taxation for pri-
