The Great Boston Fair.

For two months to come, Boston is to
be the home of great exhibition of in
dustry, manufacture and art.
The Massachusetts Charitable Mechan-
ic Association opened it's eighteenth
biennial exhibition on Wednesday, and
the variety and extent of the various de-
partments is most complete and admira-
BILE.
This exhibition undoubtedly will sur
pass anything previously done by this
venerable and vigorous association; and
this means that it will excel anything
heretofore seen in this part of the coun-
try.
The public advantages of these exhibit
lions are, the influence for the improve
ment and elevation of the home life of
the people, the infusion of the artistic
element, the suggestion of better and
more COMFORTABLE living.
The Mechanics Fair works for
education as well as for material advant-
age.

He is so magnetic that he can hold Repub-

long his speech. His armament on the
stump is wonderful display Of argument,
reason, pathos, ridicule, Joke aud wit, be-
hind all of which is countenance radiant
with nirth, tempered with dignity and in
his inmost soul he loves all closes and con
ditions OF mankind. Such, indeed, Is the
style of man be is; such mis- incompatible
oratory and resistless power over al audi
ence. If to the music of his language he
should round up sentence with his fiddle

Ex-psEs1pESr HAYES In TOWN.

He Leaves the Bucolio Scenes of FREE
mont For the Grand Army Encamp-
ment.
Over in the Mcclure House parlor, last
evening, sat the man who, once upon d
time, by reason of certain memorable
political conniving, held the destinies OF
the nation in the palm of his hand. The
man in question was no less dlstln-
guished parsonage than ex-Presldent
Rutherford B. Hayes. Having finished
white-washing the back fence, led the
chickens and tied the earth down on
the farm at Fremont, Ohio, the ex-Pres-
ident concluded to take little run 10
Washington, to mingle in the Grand
Army encampment.
Mr.. Hayes arrived In town at 3
o'clock over the Wheeling and Lake
Erie road, and was met at the station
by Judge z II. Cochran, who escorted
him to the hotel, where he was besieged
with callers, many OF whom were we'll
known Grand Army men. Mr.. Hayes
IS President Of the Grand Army Asso-
citation Of West Virginia, and he seemed
particularly pleased to stop over here
him frequently of late years say
that he has aged considerably since
he left the Chief Executive chair. he
stoops little and his hair
is we'll whitened. Judge Cochran had
quite a long chat with the ex-President,
exchanging many "reminiscences. Mr..
Hayes goes 10 the Encampment as Dele
gate-at-large from the G. A. r. De-
partment OF Ohio.
As the REGISTER reporter Sauntered
into the parlor the ex-President was In
close confab with B. b. Dovener and
G. w. Atkinson, the former explaining
TO him the best way to get to Washing
ton, and the latter telling him on the
quiet how effectively he was singing
solemn tariff truths into the Demo
cratic camp. Postmaster w. j. w.
Cowden sort of hung around the prem
ises, and told him about it in a
brief way. The glorious prospects OF
the Republican party in this section
was also set forth by Mr.. n. B. Scott.
Among others who called upon the ex-
President were Chas. Senseny, Judge
Melvin, B. B. Dobbins, A. w. Campbell,
John Frew, Capt. ]. A. Faris and Geo.
McKeown.
During the flutter that prevailed E.
NJ. Statler and George House were in
troduced. Both Of these gentlemen
kindly granted the ex-Presdent short
audience, but were obliged to hasten
away by reason of pressing engage
ments.
Ex-President Hayes left on the SIS
train this morning for Washington.

words, to sell in the cheapest aud buy

And the workingman who will vote

also will vote to sell all he has to sell
his labor-in the cheapest market and
to buy his and his family's necessaries of
life in the dearest market in the world.
In other words, he will vote to increase

the only foe of organized labor; he will
vote for decreased wages and an in

WAT RrpunL1oAN VOTE MEANS.

Tn 1859 Mr.. William Cunningham offered
MIR. Geo. Seibert So per acre for the farm
row owned by Mr. Aqulila Janney, OF
Failing Waters district The farm is now
well improved and in a fine state Of Guilt
walton, yet after thirty years Of Repubu-
can protection Mr. Januey is willing 10 sell
his farm for less than $50 per acre. This Is
. 8 good object lesson Of how tariff benefits
tie farmers MdrtinSbUTg Statesman.
This is, as the Statesman says, a tariff
object lesson, but it is only one among
thousand.
Farmers who still cling 70 the Repub-
lican party evidently must believe that
II tariff taxation were lowered 10 an hon
est basis and not levied In the interest
Of monopolists that everybody would
leave the country, or stop eating, and
thus ruin their "home market"
Such staunch Republican agricultural
lists evidently are densely ignorant of
the highly important fact that the
prices OF their staple product are
gagged in en- absolutely free trade mar
ket-Liverpool, England. And, further,
they are evidently not cognizant of that
other essential fact that the country's
most prosperous era, particularly for
the farmers, was under a tariff which
the Republicans of to-day would call
free trade.
The political necessities Of the Repub-
lean party alone are responsible for the
present Republican tariff policy. The
highly protected monopolies have been
given whatever they have asked in the
way II higher duties in return for the
vast sums OF money they contribute to
the Republican party's campaign fund.
Almost every one Of the older leaders
of the Republican party to-day, to say
nothing of those who have passed away,
are on record in opposition to the pres
ept Republican tariff policy.
The farmer, who will vote the Repso-
lean ticket this year, will vote f0r
