To the Editor of THE REPUBLICAN,
The Democratic press and party
leaders evidently regard the farmers
as goodish sort of Ounce who is not
sufficiently informed to comprehend
his true intereStS-as one, in short.
whose credulity may be played
upon, and who may be duped into
the accepting of any sort of political
clap trap provided the effort is Der
sistent, and the methods adapted to
his. supposed, low standard of reas.
oning.
The Democrdt has recently been
quoting Mr.. Blaine as against the
protective policy of the Republican
party in Congress, Last week it at
tempted to defend the "befo-de-wah"
policy of the Democracy, and in sup.
port of its position quotes Blaine's
Twenty years CT Congress-" BY
the unfair selection of a stray para
graph here and there totally discon-
nected with the context, false i'm.
preston may readily be produced :;
but let us quote a few of the proceed
lngs and subsequent passages in Mr.,
Blaine's book, and see what "Blaine.
the historian" says in reference to
the period in question. | quote ::
1.-The quarrel rapidly eliminated in
Mr.. Calhoun's resignation of the
Vice Presidential term for which he
had been chosen. The result was a
reduction of duties. first by the Act
of 1882 and secondly by Mr.. Clay's
famous Compromise Act of March
I'd. 1888, In which it was provided
that bv a sliding scale, all duties i'm
excess of twenty per cent. should be
abolished within a period of ten
years.
"During the operation of this act,
which was really on abandonment of
the protective principle. the financial
crisis of 1887 came upon the country,
and period of distress ensued. al
most equal to that which preceded
the enactment of the tariff of 1924.
MANY persons, still in active bust
ness, recall with something of horror
the hardships and privatiOns which
were endured throughout the country
from 1887 to 1912.
1.-THE long.continued depression
produced the revolution against the
Democratic party which ended in
the overthrow OF Mr.. Van Buren,
and the election of General Harrison
in $40.

According to the promise recently
made to the representatives of the
labor organizations by Speaker Reed
and Representative Cannon and Me-
kinley, the Republican members of
the House Committee on Rules, a
resolution has been reported and
adopted by the House, setting aside
Thursday and Saturday of this week
for the consideration of bills from the
Labor Committee.
The resolution which has already
passed the Senate, anent the removal
of the remains of Gen. Grant from
New York to Arlington Cemetery
will probably go through the House
this week. Representative O'Neill,
of Pennsylvania, asked unanimous
consent for Its consideration SatIlr-
