Why THE CHEAT CONSTITUTIONAL LAW
YER FORsAKEs THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

Why THE CHEAT CONSTITUTIONAL LAW
YER FORsAKEs THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
George 1icknor Cults, great constitu-
tioral lawyer and lifelong Democrat, has
sent the following letter TO Wilbur F.
Wakeman, Esq, general Secretary of the
American Protective Tariff League:
Richheld Springs, n Y, Sept 10, 1892.
Dear Sir Although | have for
very many years acted and voted with
the Decorate party, / cannot do 80 in the
coming Presidential election.
A vote for the nominee of the late
Democratic National Convention will
mean a vote for free trade. 1t will mean
a vote for the doctrines enunciated in
the platform. which deDounces the
Republican tariff as fraud on the great
majority Of the American people for the
benefit of few. stigmatzes a protection
tariff as unconstitutional. and proposes to
lay duties for obtaining revenue on ",
without regard to the protection of our
own industries.
| cannot by my vote affirm anything
so false as this A man must pay some
regard TO truth in politics as well as in
other things. To affirm what | believe
to be untrue political doctrine is some
thing that neve. did, and | shall not do
it now. | consider the multiplication
"plank" in the Democratic platform to
be as false as anything that haye ever
known to be asserted in similar instru-
ment.
Ifit had said that the existing tariff
needs revision / might have concurred.
Bat it has gone the whole length Of
denying that any protection of onr
domestic industries is within the con
stitutioDal power of Congress. / repuii-
ate this doctrine because know better.
This IS not the first time that have
differed from my party. was born and
bred in the State of Massachusetts,. and
lived there until was fifty years old. |
was educated as whig in politics. and
| learned constitutional law from Daniel
Webster and Joseph Story.
In future communications / shall show
that in laying duties on foreign products
Il IS perfectly constitutional for Congress |
TO lay them so as to encourage our Ameri-
can industries, and that tariff for
revenue only would bring ruin upon the
government and upon the people. Yours

A Very Happy Yankee.
I'LL .l.I-.Inr.. L. nnn. 1

We are indebted to Mr.. L. G. johnson
for the following interesting incident:
A Michigan soldier, who was severely
wounded by the expl sion OF smell
fred at the battle of the Wi derness
thirty years ago, became the guest Of Mr.,
johnson one n ght last week. He told
his host that he vas on his way to the
wilderness in search of some precious
relica which he hoped to find
The soldier returned within three days
flushed with pride, and the happy posses.
or of souvenirs he priced beyond cOmpu-
taton.
When he was wounded the soldier
crawled from the road into the forest and
10y down beside a huge log. Believing
be would die or lie captured, be dug a
trench with his hands, in which he de-
posted his gun, pocket book, containing
some fractional currency. and a beer
check on a Milwaukee saloon, his diary
and his gold watch. He was so impressed
with the idea that he could locate the
log, he had travelled all the way from
Mich gan to find it, The log was found
a most r0tted away, The articles exhumed
and all in a fair state of preservation
except the gun. The stock of the gun
had rotted away The pocket book wa.
somewhat decayed, but The currency and
becr check all night. Tho diary hai
rotted around the edge, but mach Of the
writing was legihle, while the watch was
in excellent condition.
The delighted soldier said he intended
to leave the relics to his chllren as
precious mcmentocs of their father
military career.

"The Typical American

The "FOrce Bill. -

10 conversation with good Dem
ocrat few days ago, we asked him
why 1t was that his party was making
such ado over the force bill" when
there was no such issue before the
country. He responded that if it were
not for the "foice bill" his party would
have no issue-that they could not
support the proposition to remove the 10
per cent tax on State bank issues; could
not support free trade, free raw materials,
such as free importation OF foreign wool,
foreign iron ore, and foreign coal, be-
cause they would be overwhelmed in
this district and the State. Hence the
"force bill" had to be brought to the
front and pressed for all that was in 1t
a scare had to be Matched so as to divert
the public mind from the issues that
had been made in the Chicago platform,
as the only hope OF success.
And that is about the sum and substance
of all this clamor about the "force bilP-a
thing that has no existence, is not an
issue, and by no process Of honest reason
ing can ever be. 1t is to gull the peOpel
divert the public mind from practical
questions, affecting the paramount
interests Of currency AMI industrial
development and prDgrsss, that the
"force bill" is forged TO the fore as a raw
head and bloody bones to frIghten the
timid and delude the ignorant. But the
fraud has exposed itself The people
understand the deception, and the man
who gets up before public audience aud
attempts to horrify his hearers with
pictures of the "fOrce bill" Is at
once pronounced silly, superficial
baranguer, who knows very little of the
people, and has no respect for their
intelligence. 1t is confession Of ment tai
poverty and of weak cause, and is
regarded by sensible men as au attempt
% trife with great public concerns and
make subordinate to senseless clamOr
Tital issues duplicating important inter-
sts and affecting the prosperity of the
ountry. No one now can be deceived

Southern Horse and Mule Shoe travesty-
