I'VE shall not be so ungentlemanly as
to say "lie,' as the Democrat editor
did, when he says: "All republicans
are in favor of the decentralization of
silver, the single gold standard, and
t destruction of the greenbacks.
There are thousands of republicans who
are opposed to the single standard, and
they are just pronounced in their
views as the editor of the democratic
organ. The great trouble with our
friend Mcdonald is, his liver is out of
order and in all probability he is trou-
bled with a bad case of dyspepsia,
which make him see things as through
colored glass.

FARMERS AND Projection.

There are many persons who profess
to think that the farmer has no interest
in the system of protection. The truth
is the farmer has more interest in the
system than any other class of pro-
ducers without any exception. If all
the duties are taken off from the pro-
ducts of the farm, he still has more in
terest in the system than any other
class. at least he has more benefit from
it than has the manufacturer, indirect
ly of course, but none the less. While
we are not Jackson Democrat by any
manner of means, we have always en-
phaticaily endorsed that wise and states
manllke utterance OF General Jackson
when he said: "Plant your manufac-
tories by the side of your farms and
yoa Will cover your country with bles-
sings. 1t is all unhappy state of
affairs in this country when the farm
erS hold the opinion that protective
tariff leneiits only the manufacturers.
Whereas the fact is that the latter class
are the least benefited 10y protective
laws. 1t is a well established fact that
in the manufacture of all kinds of
goods, 30 per cent. of the products of
the farm enter into composition as
labor in the shape of food, wool, cotton.
flax, leather, &c. If we pay England
S2O0,0O0,O00 d year for manufactured
goods, then more than One-half OF this
amount goes to the farmers of England,
who feed and partially clothe the work
rel and artisans, which, if we manu-
featured the same things, would keep
our money at home to 90 into the
pockets of our own farmers for their
beef, pork, wheat, butter, eggs, etc,
which they inevitably lose when we let
workshops 5000 or 5000 miles away do
our manufacturing fer Us. The person
then, be he farmer or not, who cannot
see that the farmer has an all-pervad-
ing interest in this protective system
must be extremely short sighted. Elk.

y MAN Is very apt to be judged as
to his character and motives by those
Eh) praise and commend him. Espe-
cially is this true as to candidates for
office. The qualities that inspire the
admiration OF knaves and blackmailers
and practiceIs of skullduggery along the
line of political or partisan action can
not be set DOWN by thinking men as
honorable qualities, and the blowing
and extraordinary words of praise hat
come from men Of low reputation cover
the man he laudS with suspicion.

SELF CONCEIT, if not d sin, is con-
summate folly. The wise man in his
day came To this conclusion: .Seest
thou man wise i'll his own conceit.
there Is more hope of fool than OF
him.. Ii there were such men in 50.
onions time the breed has not d.
minished any. There are plenty of
them III this day and age and among
all classes Of people, and III all society.
This trait manifests itself in many
ways. Perhaps the most offensive spec
linen is the self-conceited young man
who knows more than his father and
mother, or than all their cousins, uncles
and aunts. He admits that his father
may have been right in times past, but
he is an old fogy now and not up to the
times. Such young fellow prances
around like skittish mule colt, and
knows just about as much He is ex-
tremely smart in his own estimation
but is looked upon by all sensible peo-
pie as consummate fool.

III Is amusing to see how the dOty
editor of the Democrat plays "blind
mans buff" In commenting on the
position taken by TIE INDEPENDENT,
he closes his eyes and strikes out left
handed, hoping by some fortunate oc-
currence to hit us in a tender spot. In
his attempt this week to answer the
utterances of Watterson, he says: "He
tWatterson) is about as good repub-
lican as the editor of TIE INDEPEND-
ENT." 1t would look as plausible for
for him to say the editor of the Demo
crat is a republican. WattersOn is
rank free trader, while the editor of
THE INDEPENDENT always has been
protectionist. He also says an untruth

WHEN any man claims the support
Of the people or his party for any office
on the grounds that 1t has become nee
essary that someone should be the
savior of his party from machine rule,
he should have clear record himself as
being free from all faint of ring or ma
chine tactics. There is but little show
for any man to obtain the confidence of
the people at large in fight for po,i-
ton by suddenly jumping into the field
as the apostle of reform in party tactics,
when all his past party record has
failed to impress the people tha' he has
been actuated by lofty disda.n OF
what he DOW attempts TO denOunce as
