The recognized friends of America in

people that high tariff Is an injury to
our country -- Boston Herald.
The "reeognized friends of America

concerning our welfare. The people of
this country have not failed to note,
however, that this solicitude voices itself
in favor of policy that would give up
the great market of this countryside
finest In the world-to England at the
expense of American industries and labor.
We NAV well pray TO be delivered from

which has pro-pered beyond all Others

results Of the recent election were Of a

the Democrats carried that state by about

forth II would be fixture in the Dem
ocratic column, yet this year the Repub'
lieans have made gain of some 23,0ot
votes. wiped out the Democratic majority
and elected their own state ticket
by $4,000 plurality. Even mort

tables will be as sharply reversed as they
were in Ohio in twelve short months,
and the Republican party with united
ranks and the confidence of the country
will march forward to a splendid victory.
