What OF Ben Folsom, cousin of Presi
dent Cleveland and U. s. Consul, who
IN the presence OF an official English
audience won storms OF applause by ex.
pressing his satisfaction that the "high.
est barriers" between England and the
American markets would soon be low
cred. He announced the Democratic
party as the party of free trade and the
PRESIDENT an apostle of that doctrine.
Thus one who stands near the throne of
Democracy here, and of the Empress
over there, interprets Democratic pur.
poses to the delight of our foreign
enemies. How happy and proud Ameri
can citizeus should be! Blount pulls
down the American flag, and Folsom
promises that all the benefits of Ameri.
can markets shall be laid at the feet of
Great Britain If such typical Ameri.

Ihe Gazette exacts OF Republicans that

standard in ali matters social and
financial! While We deprecate anv per.
sonal criticisms, which amount to abusive
attacks upon private character, we stand
ready to show that the parties thus as.
sailed have borne better characters than
their traducers, and have in this in.
stance acted with the best of motives
we also stand ready to demonstrate the
utter insincerity of the Gazette by show.
Ing that it will work for the nomination
and election of man who occupies an
infinitely worse financial attitude toward
the Citizens National Bank than tbe
man whom they have assailed. These
are facts. And, while they have moth.

dragged into the campaign by the action

would be a canvass free from person.

ready to resort to the most INSCRIPTIONS

The Gazette and the Soldier.

The Gazette doesn't have the hardihood
to actually claim that it is friend of the
soldier. 1t simply makes faces at the
Republican party, and tries thereby to
create the impression, so far as it's limit.
ed influence extends that the old soldier
has nothing to thank the party for, which
ied' clothed, equipped, sustained and
paid him in the field which has gi ven
him everything he has received since in
the way OF honor and emolument, land,
pensions, bounty, back pay, &C.. All OF
which has been accorded to him in the
lace OF the most violent opposition from
Democratic sources. 1t does seem to us
that the cheek of writer who endorses
the course OF the Democratic party with.
out reserve. should burn with shame
when ne reproaches anyone else with
being recreant to the soldier.
To prove the lack of sincerity in this
pretended friendliness, the same editor.
al pen that has dripped honey where it
hoped to receive benefit therefrom for
the soldiers enemies, is Immediately
dipped to the stem in the bitterest of
wormhood and gall, for the purpose of
dishonoring and disgracing an honorable
old soldier who served his country with
distinction, and has gone in and ont
among the people of this community
without reproach all the years of long
and active life. Did the Gazette feel anv
tenderness for Col. Glenn, because he
had been soldier whose gallant ser.
vices on the field of battle ought to en-.
title him to as much consideration az II
has asked for others.
The Gazette is like the party IL renre.
sents. 1t has no use for the soldier ex.
cept as he may now and then serve its
political purposes. The lowest crimi.
mails in the land is assumed innocent
until proven guilty, while the best
soldier who ever fought in defense of
the Union is assumed to be a fraud NV

| Inc Residents message to Congress
Is bold, plain document, evidently sin.
cere IN Its expressions, and betokens
cleveland much better than the party
ne represents. In his recommendation
that the Sherman law be repealed. he
overestimates the Importance of that
measure as a factor in the present
troubles. 1t has not been an unmixed
evil, and the hundreds of millions of
silver certificates now in circulation have
contributed very largely to the needed
volume of currency. 1t has not been
any apprehension of loss to American
holders by depreciation of value in
silver dollars which has brought dis.
tress. Merchants, manufacturers. farm.
ers, mechanlcs-everybody, would be
delighted to get them. So long as each
OF these dollars buys one hundred cents
worth on the market, the people are not
gong to worry whether the relative
ratio to gold is sixteen or twenty.four.
Notwithstanding these facts. the repeal
OF the Sherman law may have a salutary
effect by the temporary restoration of
confidence. But the Cleveland message
suggests nothing in the place of the law
IL would abregate. 1t diagnoses the
case, but offers no remedy. On the |
doubtful course of Congress very much
aepends.' They may help or hinder the
return OF better conditions. The real
trouble is the uncertainty of tariff legis-
lation, which leaves mercantile and in.
dustrlal interests in a precarious and
unsettled state. Former investors pre-.
Ter to withdraw from enterprises ser.
ously menaced by the threats of the
Democratic national platform. Although I
Nr. Cleveland may be more conserya.
i've than his party, they will drive him
o the sanction of most extreme meas.
Tres, if possible.

While the war was in progress. 1t singles
out the younger element, who were not
on the stage OF action during the war,
out who are now giving their earnest
allegiance to the party which sustained

the sympathy of the Gazette. If that
paper wants to fight the war over again
we are perfectly willing. The Repub.
ilcan party, as the friend of th soldier
has nothing to be ashamed of. 1t has
elected Union soldiers to the Presi.
dency, to the Governorship, to Congress
and to inumerable offices, as its records
Will show. On the other hand. the
Democracy, whenever the power and
opportunity has occurred, have honored
those who bore arms against the Union.

Kicking out thousands of Union soldiers

as an exposure of its delusive and
disastrous fallacies. We do not believe
