NEWSPAPER OPINION.


81 Louis Republic
The Republics Tariff Miscellany"
gives some pertinent extracts from the
Tariff Primer" Of ID. M. Grissom Of
kirkwood, Mo, a most useful little pam
phlet, which admirably explains the true
effects Of the protective policy
Q You say the protective policy en-.
riches the protective manufacturers at
the expense.of the mass of the people?
A 1t doess
Q.-You say. too, that The value Of
these special benefits to the Northeast
section is estimated at 5000, 000 600 a
year2 A-Yes.
OFT this be true, the favored states
ought to be very rich-much richer than
the others2 A-They are; they own
nearly one-half the wealth OF the coun-
try, and this ownership is increasing
every year.
Q-How can this beg There are forty
three states and several territories in
the Union ard do you mean to say that
nine OF these states actually own nearly
one half Of all the property In the whole
conntryl Ayes
Q-What is the entire wealth az She
c)untryg AT the last census. in
1880, il was estimated at $43, 642. 0OO. OC0
over S43 600, 600, 600
Q-What was the population OF the
whole country in 1881, and what the
| population o. the nine manufacturing
states and Of the other twenty-nine
states and territories A Tile entire
/ population was 81 900 coo, and Of this

York. New Jersey and Pennsylvania had
/ 10, 500 600, or less than one third. and
the other states and territories had
had 35, 500 600 or move than two-thirds
Q Surely you do not mean to saw
that the 100000 own as much
Of the wealth Of the country az
the IS, COO OO02 A.-Yes. A large por-
ton in the other states and
territories not less than 81 600
| 600 00O-is owned in the manufactures
states. This sum must therefore d
taken from one side and added 70 the
other, aud when il is done the account
| will stand thus: Wealth Of the nine
manufacturing states, $23 Gas 600 900
Wealth OF all other ststes and terlito
ries, $50 600 200, 600 This shows that
the nine industrial states own over $23

PURE BALLOT, NEW LEVY COURT.
The resolutions passed by the Demo-
cratic Convention at Middletown indicate
the temper and intentions of the Demo-
Gratis of New Castle county.
1t will be observed that these resolu-
tions are not like those curious diatribes
which eminate from the Republicans of
Pennsylvania giving one half of their
space and energy to abuse Of the opposite
party and the other half to worship Of a
fetch. They are the resolutions Of
plain, sensible, practical and honest men
who have the coed Of the commonwealth
at heart. They begin by calling attention
TO the threatened corruption OF the
ballot by the use Of money among the
ignorant, careless and yenal classes
whom the Republicans have turned into
voters before they could read or write,
and before they could have acquired any
other sort Of interest in the safety, per-
petuity or purity Of our government.
Passing intelligent, cultivated women
Of our own grand race, the Republican
party has endowed the negro race with
the privilege and the duty OF the ballot
seemingly for the sole purpose Of corrupt
ing them by bribery or misleading them
by various receptions. This supreme
contempt for the proper use OF the ballot
has been 50 intensified that 1t has become
an absolute necessity to take measures
Of protection.
The purity Of the ballot is the most
important matter which can engage the
attention of the people The ballot is
the most sacred and the most essential
trust delivered to us by the heroes and
statesmen who founded this as a govern.
ment for the people, Of the people, by
hepeople. Without pure ballot we can
not perpetuate this scheme Of govern
ment and it will become mockery and a
failure.
Our little commonwealth is threatened
with this dire evil The Republican
party stands with its hands in its pocket
and its tongue rolled Ia It's cheek. ready
to buy or cajole, to cheat or coerce tho
voters who can be influenced by the one
or driven by the other to sacrifice their
votes.
The resolutions then proceed to men.
tion various reforms in the county gov.
eminent, manner of collecting taxes,
boarding Of prisoners, the control Of the
jail. the manner Of managing the re.
celpts and expenditures OF the county,
and, finally touching upon national affairs,
they approve Of the conduct Of the rep
resentatiyes Of the Democratic party,
who are brAvely striving TO promote
honesty, economy and the abolition az
unnecessary and burdensome taxation in
