la many respects this has been one of
the quietest campaigns the country has
ever seen. There has been little OF
noisy demonstration so far and there is
likely to be little from now on. The
democrats boosted in their conventions
that this was to be campaign of edu-
cation. SO far as the republicans are
concerned it has been campaign OF
education. They have been and are
industrious on the platform. With the
democrats il has been campaign of
solicitation and not education
they have had little use for the latter
since the action of the party bosses in
Wisconsin, and attempts of fusion with
the Peoples Party in other states, have
left them bat very little which they can
desire to educate the people about.

leaders of the democratic party in this
county said some time ago: ave are

large enough to accommodate the great

education. For once they were right,

A DEMOCRATIC organ makes an at
tempt to discredit Labor Commissioner
Peck's report by quoting his assertion,
made several months before the publ
cation of the report, that 1.-The forth
coming document would furnish the
most complete refutation of the theories
of protectionists in regard to wages
that has ever been published. This
declaration only adds immensely 70 the
weight and value of the report. Mr..
Peck's democracy is of the strongest
kind and can not be lmpeached. He
has frankly admitted since the publ
cation of his report showing an increase
of industrial wages of more than 5000,
900 dollars in n. Y. state in one year
under the Mckinley bill, that the proofs
presented by the facts as finally collect
ed for the report, not only surprised
him but were positively distasteful to
him. Mr.. Peck believed previous to
the compilation of his report that it
would not show any general increase in
wages, and the fact that he openly
stated this belief, Is strong confrmatorY
evidence of the strict accuracy of his
statistics. He did not think that the
facts would show that the workingmen
80 Nauv X,rly had baa,, LaraGto1 bxy tba
Mckinley tariff, but he was honest
enough to publish the truth though it
was contrary to his own statement and
opposed to the interests Of his political
party. Thus far. every democratic
effort to injure Labor Commissioner
Peck has only resulted in bringing out
more clearly the force and great i'm
portance of his statistical report.
Furthermore, there has not been a sim
liar report made by the Labor Bureau
OF any state but what it confirms Mr..
Peck in his report. Wisconsin's Labor
Commissioner has not yet made his
report. One democratic organ that
ought to know, states that it is because
the state printer has too much work on
his hands We can not, however, help
the suspicion that our state report also
has too much prosperity in it for the
health of the democratic party and the
present state administration Perhaps
we may know later on.

We heard him once, two years ago

mistake in stating that his speech on
that occasion was one of the finest,

most scholarly efforts to which it has
ever been our good fortune to listen
That he is n man Of unusual ability no

The Republican Party and
Protection, the Nations
Hope; not Free Trade.
For the HERALD.

For the HERALD.
10 the Republican party we have seen
the elimination of all the best political
ideas of this Nation and the world. Its
principles embrace all that was good in
Jefferson and all that was great in
Hamilton. No political party in the
annals of all time has such history,
such record.
Who is so poor in knowledge as to
say that this Nation and the world is
not freer, greater, grander, better,
because of the Republican party. The
Republican party is party of pro-
gress. 1t belongs to this age. 1t
belongs to our times. 1t believes in
free men, free speech, tree soil, free
schools, free labor-all that is good,
wise and great In National life.
May we not pause and consider this
nation as it was when the Republican
party came, and look up the sublime
nights to which it led and crowned it
with imperishable glory. 1t found its
factories idle and has set its wheels in
motion and built thousands more. 1t
found the nation poor and made it
rich. 1t found its constitution and
courts corrupted and defined their
power. 1t found it slave and made it
free. IL found it slavery and made it
free 1t found sovereign states and
made a sovereign nation. Ia fact, it
gave the nation new birth, and made
union and liberty one and mseparable.
We believe in the Republican party
because Its a party of principle and
| practice; because its a more legal, more
intelligent, more advanced in all the
lines that mark human progress than
any other party, and can best guide the
nation which it saved. But the Repub-
lican party is not prepared to rest in
the shadow of its great achievements,
but under God it must go forward.
Among the interests to be conserved is
the agricultural industry, the educa-
tional question, the race problem and
the labor problem. All these need
present attention. 1t will require the
wisest heads and our greatest states
men. to adjust this mighty problem on
better principles of justice and right,
than now prevails. No party is so cap
able of doing this as the Republican
party.
PROTECTION.
Let US briefly discuss the merits of
the Republican idea of protection which
has done so much to enrich our count
rY. We ask what better plan can the
American people adopt? 1t protects
the farmer. it protects the workman's
wages, and it admits free of duty every
i necessary of life which cannot be raised
on the American farm, and all other
articles which cannot be produced
here.
/ The Republican policy Of protection
since 1861 has built towns and cities all
over the Union. 1t has more than
doubled our trade with foreign nations.

system. About the time of the passage
of the Mckinley law, when it was vocif-
erously asserted that it was a Chinese
wall that would cut off all foreign trade,
l wrote an article maintaining that in
stead of diminishing foreign trade, the
Mckinley bill would increase it. | coz.
TESS that l did not think that the in.
crease would be so pronounced in SO
short time. Our foreign trade has
been much larger since the passage OF
the Mckinley bill than before in the
same length of time. There is nc
doubt that good harvests here and
bad harvests in Europe in 1891 had
something to do with this. But it should
also be remembered that the reverse oil
tins was true in 1890. That year our
grain crop was much below the average,
and taking the two years 1890 and 1891
together they would make about fair
average.
But harvests being the same, it is per
fectly evident that if we produce a large
quantity of wares ourselves it increases
our ability to buy foreign goods. and he
who is able to buy also buys. twill to

trade, but the quantity viii &c increased.

Democr0tic-WhiteC Cap bosses can cram
down the throats ofthe people the wicked
falsehUods they are circulating, and can
thereby make votes for their failing

est. fair-minded citizens should pull up
stakes and seek to establish homes else

culous than that story, so freely circulated,
that Mr.. Catron had something to do with
the attempted assassination of Hon. j. A.
Anchcta during the session of the legisla-
turc two years ago: The story is too
utterly silly to receive attention at the
hands Of honest men, yet here we find the
Democratic central committee insulting
the intelligence Of voters by insisting on
its correctness. On par with this is that
other yarn, for which the Democratic
central committee is alleged to have paid
one j. p. Casey the sum of $500 for stat
ing to the effect that Mr.. Catron had a
hand in the fearful American valley muir
ders some years ago. This lie is particularly
yillainous because it is designed only tc
catch the ear of the most ignorant class
people who are not burdened with al
acquaintance with Casey or his methods

Do some people give credence to any
of this sort of stuff? Is it not serious

cratic shyster lawyers have not gobbled
up the tax payers money, as they did

over from the corrupt Democratic admin
istration have been audited allowed and
paid: the county's books are kept intel
ligenHy and properly; the citizens of this
county know these statements to be facts:

THE SANTA FE COUNTY DEBT.

About $4,000 of the present county
debt was piled up by the county Demo
cratic commissioners paying few Demo
cratic lawyers here for fighting the So
called Coler bonds; they fought them with
a very disastrous result to the county,
losing the cases in the district court and
in the supreme court and would have lost
them in the United States supreme court
had they been taken there; these men,
Laughlin among them, pocketed that
money and lost the county's cases. Great
friends they to this county, especially
when fat fees for no service are at stake

But none ever received q cent after that
time, and the deeds were drawn SO as to
cover all the right, title and Interest ui
the settlers, only reserving their little
garden patches. Thus over 10000 acres
were obtained for only S113. A more
cruel deception could not well be imagined.
for these heirs were poor, and through
their poverty and misplaced confidence
were induced to sell. If anyone doubts
the facts, the deeds are to be seen as fol-
lows, all being made to Anthony Joseph
and company, and all carrying the entire
right and title of the grantors:
The first deed is one from Vigil, of
which we have spoken, Then comes The
following:
February 8, 1872, made by Mariana
Romero and eighteen others, considera-
ton 81 each.
February 10, 1872, j. N. Gurule and
thirteen others.
February 10, 1872, Felipe de Jesus Ro-
driguez and nine others.
February 49, 1872 Benito Romero aud
thirteen others.
February 10, 1872, Jose Anto. Sandoyal
and thirteen others.

April 0, 1872, Pedro Suass and ten

Any one wishing to investigate will
find these deeds recorded III Taos county
in books A, No. g and A, No. 3. There
are 113 grantors in all besides Vigil, and
each received just 81! Many of them
are still living, mostly in poverty, and

why New NexicO Miners Should Vote

great silver producing country, yet Mr..
Joseph has no thought or care for silver
Antonio Joseph is an enemy of the sill

therein. New Mexico derives her great

HOW JOSEPH OBTAINED 40 1000 ACRES IN THE
ClENECulLLA GRANT

On Monday, the 9th day of October,
1884, the New MEXICAN published the
editorial below reproduced. If the state
ments therein were not true, Mr.. Joseph
has allowed eight years to pass by with
out refuting them. That he has not done
so, is certainly strong evidence, that the
charges are true, and hence they are re-
produced;
I'VE have heretofore mentioned Mr.. Jo
sephs ownership in two large grants,
both awaiting confirmation, to show how
identified he is with land grants, and how
largely his interests would naturally affect
his legislation on that subject.
Facts recently brought to our attention
show his record in this respect to be far
more Objectionable than we had sup
posed. 1t now seems that there is scarce
ly man in this territory so mixed up
with grant matters as Anthony Joseph
He owned part of the Maxwell grant
seven miles wide along the Uraca river
and running back to an unlimited extent
"to the top of the mountains" He bought
quantity of shares in the Chama grant
to speculate on, paying almost nothing to
the poor owners, and selling for a large
price to nonresident English pur-
chaser. In the purchases both here and
in the Ojo Caliente grant there seems to
have been Il good deal of crookedness,
and we expect to give all the details be-
fore long,
PINT hv for th ,-.ou business is as to
a., re-. .. ullla grant, and shows the land
shark and supporter of doubtful grants
combined. 1t seems that early in 1872
Joseph commenced the buying of shares
in this grant. In order to influence the
poor and ignorant owners, one share
holder named Vigil became party to the
transaction, receiving considerable
amount said to be 800, as the price of
his pertidy. The heirs of the grantees,
over 100 in number, were then seen, and
induced by various presentations, all OF
which proved false to sign deeds to their
interests for the miserable pittance of 81
each. Some say they signed because they
thought the deed was only right of way
on a road; others that they expectedto re,
ceive their proper proportion afterwards

JOSEPH AGAIN CONVICTED OF
LYING

Ina recent interview at Albuquerque,
MT. Joseph asserted plainly, as plain as
English can make it, that Gov. Prince had
WI itten letters 10 poll tax collectors anent
the receipt of the poll taxes. The follow
ing is MIR. Joseph's language:
"What about your chances for election,
Mr.. J Joseph?
81 feel entirely confident on that point
i will be elected by good majority. In
Taos and Rio Arriba the Republican
clerks and school districts have, acting
under instructions, systematically refused
to receive poll tax from Democrats. 1t
has been most rascally proceeding but
GOV. Prince has written TO these school
clerks and told them to issue receipts for
every poll tax rendered before the 9Th of
September when the tax was offered at II
later date. will carry my own county by
a good ma ority and every other county in
the territory except BPrnalillO, Santa Fe,
Valencia and possibly Rio Arriba."
Shortly after the publication of Mr.. Jo-
seph's assertion, however, comes Gov.
Prince and states just asplafnly that he
has written no letters, as asserted by Mr..
Joseph. He says this in the following In
terview, taken from the Albuquerque
Citizen.
"Gov. Prince as asked this morning as
to the correctness of Mr.. Joseph's state
ment regarding the poll taxes in Taos
county, and said; "Mr. Joseph is certain
ly mistaken when he says that ! have
written letters to the school collectors
directing them to issue receipts. I have
written no such letters and would have
no power to direct them 10 do anything"
III view of the emphatic denial by the
governor, people are bound t" assume
that Mr.. Joseph allowed himself to Ia k
again too much and make statements not
borne out by the facts and such as are
untrue and usually called Iies."
