PARTY RECOLLECTION.

The paramount question OF the
day in the infancy of the repub-
lican party and accepted as first
In Importance was the nonexten-
sion of negro slavery. The Sec
ond great question had to do with
the adoption Of the first "protec-
tive tariff plank" found in the
republican platform of the Yer
mont state convention which
convened July Ii, 1854 In this
Mr.. Morrill, took prominent
part one week after the birth OF
the party and a demand was
made for tariff for revenue,
with proper discrimination in ia
vor of American industries.
From the first the devotion and
adherence of the party has been
been unqualifedly and uncom-
promisingly in favor Of the pro-
lection of American labor and in
dustry. 1t was quite fitting
thereafter that Morrills name
should be attached to the first re-
publican tariff law, especially as
we find the first allusion ever
m lie to protection in any repub-
lican platform was that of the
little republican band in Ver-
mont, the home Of Mr.. Morrill,.
Since the organization of our
government forty or fifty tariff
laws have been passed. Free
traders cannot deny that the
Dingley tariff law has proved
superior to any other tariff law
we ever had. The wonderful
progress of the country indus
trially and the general prosperity
under the operation of the pres
ent tariff law is amazing to all
advocates of free trade. Pro-
tectionists are certainly willing
to let the present law stand with
very trifiing revision so long as
present prosperous conditions
prevail.
1t is only necessary that we
review the last decade of our
history to realize that low tariff
means a deficiency of revenue, a
closing of our manufactures,
idleness for millions of laborers
with low wages for many more,
and improbable prices for the
farmer.
Three years of a free-trade
law during Cleveland's admins
tration was sufficient time to test
the matter of free wool. 1t did
not help the manufacturers of
woolen fabrics, but came near
running the industry because of
the inability of so many people
to pay profitable prices for wool
en- goods.

Do Ycu Wact TO Esnow

There is a growing sentiment in this
country in favor OF aIEDrCINES OF KNOWN

should have some interest in the conpo-

medicine.
Recognizing this growing disposition

that the fullest publicity can only add 10

This bold and out-spollen movement on
the part of DR.. Pierce, has, by showing
exactly what his we'll known medicines

harping critics who have heretofore un-
justly attacked them. A little pamphlet
has been compiled, from the standard
medical authorities OF all the several
schools of practice, showing the strongest
endorsements by leading medical writers
of the several ingredients which enter into
