The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1894-07-05

ABRAHAM LINcoLN's first speech
on the Tariff question was short
and to the point. He said that he
did not pretend to be learned in
political economy, but he thought
that he knew enough to know that
"when an American paid twenty
dollars for steel to an English man.
ufacturer, America had the steel
and England had the twenty dol
lars. But when he paid twenty
dollars for steel to an American
manufacturer, America had both
the steel and the twenty dollars. "
That was the sum and substance of
the Tariff question as he viewed it.

The November Election.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
In two weeks the politicians of the
country will be eagerly scanning the
returns of the November election, for
the result may determine the result of
the President election of 1896.
Everybody counts with confidence
upon large Republican gains, and, not
withstanding the large Democratic ma
jority in the present House, disinter-
ested observers think it highly probable
that the Republicans will regain con-
troll. 1t is conceded even by Democrats
that the Republicans are likely to con-
troll a majority of State delegations,
and if they should they will be in
position to elect the next President if
the Electors should fail to make a
choice, as is quite within the bounds OF
posi- Moreover, the result of
the election may mar the fortunes of
candidates for the Democratic and Re-
publican nominations for the Presi-
dency in 1896. If Hill should be cleo
ted Governor of New York he will be
a formidable candidate for the Pres-
dency, and, even though he should be
| defeated, he will remain an important
Reed, Mckinley and other assumed
candidates for the Presidency are also
largely interested in the returns of the
! November election, as tests of their
popularity. But even more important
! than the control OF the House, or the
effect of the election on the Presi-
| Dental nominations to follow, is the
possibility that Republican landslide
may give that party in the near future
such control of the Senate as could not
| be shaken during the next Presidential
! term. The Democrats now have a bare
majority in the Senate, which under
ordinary circumstances they might
hope to increase; but, if the Repub-
lcans should make such gains as seem
to be forshadowed, the Legislatures of
several Democratic States might be
captured, with disastrous results to
that party.
Very seldom have the November
elections of an off year been of such
vital Importance to the two parties.
For the Republicans it is a skirmish
preliminary to 1896. Even though they
should not gain the House or Senate
in prospective they will nevertheless
be in good condition for the Presi-
dental campaign. With the Democrats
it is a contest of supreme Importance.
If they lose at any point the control
passes out of their hands, even though
they should elect the next President.
The Republicans never had better
opportunity to turn the tables on the
Dem 0crats than that which they now
enjoy. Everywhere the Democrats are
divided on important issues and dis
satisfied with their own conduct of af-
fairs; in New York, State of the first
importance politically, they are not
only divided into factions, but they
have arrayed against them moral and
religious forces which seldom take any
part in practical politics. All over the
Union there is dissatisfaction growing
out of the hard times for which rightly
or wrongly the party in power is held
responsible. Every doubtful element
seems to Le with the Republicans and
against the Democrats.

Ambassador Bayard's Tribute.

The following from Mr.. Bayard's
speech at his reception in Wilmington
last week will put the people of Eng
land in new light as to their moral
virtues and respect for law:
l would say that there has been so
much that have seen to create great
respect for the temper of the people
and their government, it is but just to
say so; it is but just, my countrymen,
that l should testify to you the spirit
of respect for law-the law abiding
spirit of that people, not simply among
the accomplished men who deliver
their judgments upon the intricate
cases of property and personal rights
in their courts of justice; not among
the humber classes of those other Of
ficials who mingle with the body of
the people at large. There is a con-
sideration by the officials for the feel
ings of the people: there is an obedience
by the people to the spirit of law incar-
mated into the humber officials. In a
year and half's residence in England,
and most of the time in the city of
London, have never seen policeman
with baton or stick in his hand,
have never seen blow struck by one;
I have never heard violent language
from one; have not even seen violence
or Jest from one.
| could pass to many other exhibi-
tions of comprehension of what was
necessary for the conduct of the State
1 could speak, and speak feelingly, of
the strong venerative principle that
pervades these people. l could tell
you of other experience somewhat of q
varied character, tasting of the delights
of a genial and refined hospitality,
have never passed night in any house
in which that family did not kneel
every morning in common prayer to
the ruler of the world. Everywhere it
is done. 1t is not done ostentatiOuslv,
but is done by the hearts of the people,
and it is almost their universal prac-
tice. Further / would go, showing
you that there are the mother ties and
roofs of responsibility.
l have been long time there and l
do not remember that l have heard
any oath. l am sure l have never
heard at any entertainment in the
height of jest a story that man would
object telling his wife, his sister or his
daughter. (Great applause.) feel it
my duty to say these things of a people
who have received me so kindly and
80 cordially into their houses, into
homes, into their public dinners aud
into their assemblies. 1t would not be
fair or just or right to come away and
come back home and not render true
testimony to-day 20 the good feeling
everywhere existing throughout Great
Britain for tho American people, and
/ to say that hope there never will be
an honest British hand stretched out
that there will not be an honest Ameri-
can hand to grasp it. (Applause.)

H.. WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. OCTOBER "a, 1894.
In Autumn.

In quiet, gray autumnal noon
The memory of a year that dies,
The golden tide of light and bloom,
Like tendrils creeping DER a tomb
Comes back, with welcome, comes to me,
AS home winds DER the stranger sea.
And thus in waning afternoon,
When plaintive winds are all a-tune
With dirges of the loved and lost,
When sunset glitters on the frost,
And over the marble pillars gray
wander down the churchyard way.
Yet not in sadness-oh, how dear
The last smiles of the dying year
The album leaves of hopes and Joys,
The echoes of a buried voice,
The sweet, familiar company
Of leaves and blooms come back to me.

There is no medicine so often needed
in every home and so admirably adap-
ted to the purposes for which it is in
tended, as Chamberlain Pain Balm.
Hardly a week passes but some MEM
Der of the family has need for it. A
toOthache or headache may be cured
by it. A touch of rheumatism or neu-
ralgia quieted. The severe pain of
burn or cold promptly relieved and
the sore healed in much less time than
when medicine has been sent for. A
sprain may be promptly treated before
inflammation sets in, which insures
cure in about One-third of the time
otherwise required. Cuts and bruises
should receive immediate treatment
before the parts become swollen, which
can only be done when Pain Balm is
kept at hand. A sore throat may be
cured before it becomes serious. A
troublesome corn may be removed by
applying it twice day for \ week or
two. A lame back may be cured and
several days of valuable time saved or
a pain in the side or chest relieved
without paying a doctor bill. Procure
a 50-cent bottle at once and you will
never regret it. For sale by Clifton &
