HOME ENTERPRIsE,

A new scheme has originated in the
West, which gives promise of success to
it's promoters. Paid agents are sent
through the Eastern states with the OBJ
ject in view of inducing manufacturing
companies to remove their business to
the Western states, promising capital
and assistance to such as are willing to
make the change. In many instances
we understand that their agents are sue
cessful, and plants are being removed
to the West from the New England and
Middle States. OF course the capital
used to transfer and start again, is Dor
rowed from Eastern capitalists.
This is undoubtedly one of several
schemes to hold in the West the large
amount of capital invested or seeking
investments there which legitimately be-
longs in the East. This is one of the
serious evils growing out of the prac-
tice of sending money away from home
which should be used to build up and
encourage our own localenterprises, and
thereby keep our young people at home.
There is no person in the world that
more certainly lacks the faculties of fam
lily affection. neighborly kindness and
generous public spirit, like the average
rural capitalist The man of wealth in

puts his money where he can see it
grow, and take some comfort in the
handling and investing its increase
His country cousin, on the contrary, de-
MES himself of the comforts of life in
order to send his money to be invested
and controlled by an agent thousand
or more miles away, and the increase is
put out in the same way, and he rarely
ever sees it again. All the qualification
he seems to get out of this way of IN
the feeling that he is beating himself,
his family and friends out of the benefits
which legitimate taxation for the pub
lie good might bring them.
1t is estimated that Vermont farmers
and capitalists have been etfectually
beaten out of two or three millions of
good money, which have been invested
in Western mortgages and other bonanza
schemes. Our present governor-Page
who is a skillful and successful tinan-
cier, has pointed out clearly and faith
lully, the ruinous consequences OF pur-
suing that kind of policy, and his
career, as we'll as that of several
other prominent Vermonters, is
standing evidence that capital care
fully invested in home enterprises is the
surest way of securing profitable and
satisfactory reward.-BrdndOn Union

PROTECTION FOR THE NOTTINGHAM AND
PROSPERITY FOR ALL THE NATION.
The Republican party stands for the
principle of protection. We believe in
the preservation of the American
market for American producers and
workmen. We believe that the develop
men of home manufactures tends di-
rectly to promote the interest of agricul-
ture, by furnishing home market for
the products of the farm and thus eman-
cipating our farmers from the transpOr-
tation charges which they must pay
when their products seek distant mar
kets. do not find myself in
sympathy with that policy that denies
the appropriations necessary for the
proper defence of our people and for the
convenient administration of our public
affairs, in order that threat of sur
plus may be used for sinister purpose.
| believe that in reducing our revenues to
the level of our needful and proper ex-
penditures we can and should continue
to favor and protect our own industries.
The Republican party has
shown its capacity wisely to reduce our
revenues and at the same time to pro-
tect the American system.-Indianapo

ing words on Living Issues-The Frank
Speeches of an American Statesman to
His Fellow Citizens.
From New York Tribune, April 2d.l
Below are printed some of the more
striking remarks on matters of Rational
interest made by President Harrison
since he was nominated four years ago.
They are taken from his speeches at
indianapolis during the campaign which
resulted in his election, when the people
were visiting him; and during his inter
esting Southern tour when he was visit
ing the people. They would be enjoyed
at any time, for the President is an ora
tor who combines original thought with
graphic expression in singular degree.
But they will be especially interesting
now when he is so peculiarly an object
of National attention. In no respect has
the President gratified the country more
than in exhibiting his art of putting
things, unless it be by showing how well
he can practise what he breaches. Every
one of the extracts below embodies an
idea that appeals to American minds
and affects American affairs. Every one
is we'll composed and tactfully express
ed. They are well worth the careful
scrutiny of all classes and conditions of
people.

THE WILL OF THE MAJORITY THE SU-
PREME LAW FOR ALL.
We live in government of law. The
compact of our organization is that a
majorit y of our people, taking those
methods which are prescribed by the
Constitution and law, shall determine
our public policies and choose our
rulers. 1t is our solemn compact, it
cannot be safely broken. We may safe
ly differ about politics; we may safely
divide upon the question as to what
shall be the law; but when the law is
once enacted no community can safely
divide on the question of implicit obedi-
ence to the law. 1t is the one rule of
conduct for us all. may not choose as
President whnt In we L WIN O.IfOIce, ana
the citizen may not choose what laws he
will obey. Upon this broad principle
our institutions rest. If we save it, all
the agitations and tumults of our cam
paigns, exciting though they may be,
will be harmless to move our govern
ment from its safe and abiding founda-
tion.-KnoXville, Tenn, April Ia, 1891.
Our Government was instituted by
wise men-men of broad views. 1t was
based upon the idea of the equal rights
of men. 1t absolutely rejects the idea
of class dlStlnctlOn, ana lnSlSCS JnaC men
should be judged by their behavior
This is a good rule; those who are law
abiding and well-disposed; those who
pursue their vOcations lawfully and
with due respect to the rights of others
are the true American citizens.-Glen-
wood Spring, Col, May It'll, 1891.
We have Government whose princi =
plies are very simple and very popular.
The whole theory of our institutions is
that, pursuing those election methods
which we have prescribed under the
Constitution, every man shall exercise
freely the right that the suffrage law
confdes to him, and that the majority,
if it has expressed its will, shall con-
clude the issue for us all. There is nc
other foundation. This was the endur
ing basis upon which the fathers of oul
country placed our institutions. Let us
always keep them there. Let us press
the debate in our campaigns as to what
the law should be; but let us keep faitl
and submit with the reverence and re
spect which are due to the law when
once carefully enacted.-Tallapoosa
