Can't Figure UP the Expense.

From the P'gh Chronieale Telegraph.
The Co untry Commissioners are not at
tempting to figure on the expense Of the
coming election, as they have no idea what
ii VIII be. At rough guess they calculate
it viii take about 81. 600 to pay for the print
ing Of tickets They bought $50 ballot boxes
at cost Of s., IS piece. This is over s., GO
more The cost Of delivering the tickets to
the various polling places VIII be another
considerable item, as il will take horse and
wagon to every S OF 10 districts. There are
~ districts Then they expect to pay a
considerable sum f5r rent for rooms in which
to hold the election. For instance, take the
second district Of BraddOck Township which
has 1901 registered voters. This will
ueosssitaie the putting up of 20 booths. As
each booth couples a space Of 80 inches it
viii lake 80 feet Of room 10 set up these
booths. There are several other places where
nearly the same space is required. Another
tling that puzzles them is the printing Of
The tickets. This matter has not been decided
yet, bat il is more than likely that the width
Of The ticket viii lie increased instead Of the
length.

SEcrIoS 3 Of the Democratic platform
adopted at Chicago in June last, declares
that:
We denounee Republican protection
as fraud. a ro5bcTy Of the great majority
Of ne American people for the benefit Of
the few. We declare II to be a funda-
mental principle of the Democratic parry
that the Federal government has no
rig1t 10 impose and collect tariff duties,
except for the purpose Of revenue only
etc.
In his letter Of acceptance, published
few DAYS since, Mr.. Cleveland twists
and bubbles in his discussion Of the tar
ifouestion but nevertheless declares that
nrofection is unconstitutional, q perni-
cious doctrine, unjust and unfair. So
satisfactory is this letter to the Free Trs-
ders, that Henry George, whose reputa-
ton as an opponent Of protection is
worldwide, says Of il in the free trade
Sa1idGrd:.
sTbe Democratic candidate has not
swerved one hairs breadh from The radie-
al declaration on the tariff question made
blythe Democratic party at Chicago, and
frankly, fully and uneqUiyocally declares
against protection, high or l09. as anti
American, and unconstitutional, as .
robbery and fraud"
The issue is now fairly joined, and no
amount of wriggling, or equiVocation, can
change If one iota. Every Democratic
leader since the days Of Thomas Jeffer-
son has declared protection TO be uneon-
stitutional, and the howl now raised
against it is but a repetition Of the cry u0-
tered by modern Democrats against eve
" measure adopted by the Republicans.
The war for the preservation ofthe IN
ion was declared unconstitutional, as was
the issue Of fgreenbacks, the abolition Of
slavery, etc, etc, ad nmseam. On one
side Of the issue stands Grover Cleve-
land with Henry Watterson, Henry
George, Roger Q. Mills and other disci-
pies Of John c. Calhoun and jefferson
Davis behind him endeavoring to put in
force the doctrines Of the Confederate
Constitution, which would blight our in
dustries and Place American labor in un-
restricted competition with the serf and
pauper labor Of the old world, while on
the other side stands Benjamin Harrison
and the entire Republican party, reso-
lutely advocating the protection Of
American industry, the development of
new manufactures, the payment Of high
wages und the security and prosperity of
American homes.
This is the one great issue Of the pres
ent campaign, and We have no doubt Of
the result when the verdict is made
Up in November next Let the cry be

J. D. Hicks Name VIII be In the
Republican Column on the
Official Ballot.

Secretary Harriiy on Monday addressed a
letter to Attorney-General Hensel asking to
be advised whether, under the present ballot
law, the last day for filing certificates of
nominations fell upon September 18th or
18th.
The Attorney General yesterday answered
70 the effect thai the law should be literally
construed, and, afier citing authorities, he
decides that September 18th is at least fifty-
six days before the election, and certificates
filed on that date entitle the candidates
names to be placed on the official ballot.
The same principles apply to the other lin
itations in Section of the Act.
This legalizes the papers of J. D. Hicks,
the Republican candidate for Congress in
this District, and the Democratic nominee
for the Legislature in Venango, both of
which were filed on September 18th.

The favorite argument Of Democrats
