THE PEOPLE’S PARTY.

[Concluded from First Page.J

“We have heard of a land lowing with milk and honey: he land of the vine and the ig tree, of the orange and nyrtle; we have heard of Erin, he ever green isle of the sea, and of the harp and the shamock, whose noble and gallant ons have fought for and .cliieved liberty in every clime nd under every sky except heir own. Our country is aore than these, it is the land if promise, and it is still that >etter country, it is the land of lerformance, it is the land of ood, of corn, the Egypt of the mbitable globe. Israel and .ill his sons, with the unnumbered descendents of Shem <md Japhet, may send hither .or supplies. ’Tis true, that •vhere the rivers meet each >ther, or where the pathways >f iron which gird us together ross or congregate we have ertain unwailed places called vities, but these have not

changed the general appearance of the country or the •haracterlof its pursuits. They ire mostly inhabited by the ons and daughters of the >low, or their descendants, vho have, but as yesterday, est the cabin and clearing for heir own pleasure or convenience, as the ancient scalp- . if ting warrior of the Iroquois occasionally abandons his wigvam and his wampum for the more attractive surroundings of the Palmer. “Your own city, the crowned and 3CEPTERED MIBTRES4 OF THE LAKES, he urban miracle of the cenury, has been within the last > lecade rated as the first priaary wheat mart of the globe. Siga, Odessa may approach it. shall this, your ascendency, .>e maintained? Asjan Ameri--1 an, I predict, I prefer that the ‘ hies depository of the great ereal shall continue to be upin the shores of Lake Michi:an, rather than those of the laltic or the Euxine? Yet f orign dealers have bought broad since the latter harvsts more wheat than before, iut not here. Neither have * hey gone, they have been ■ .riven hence by that embargo upon commerce, that interdict £ trade induced by our policy ‘■f prohibitory exclusion, "hey still purchase here, not . hen they might, but only of lecessity, when they must. — People will buy their grain There they may sell their oods, at least, where they ave a chance of selling them. . he consequence is we are exiting gold, ill spared, to pay alances, which would have een paid otherwise, or rather ; voula never have had any ex»lence, if we had had a normal demand, full market, and air price for the surplus proucts of American husbandry, -nd this policy of prohibitory e xclusion has been made ope ntive not from the effects of • impetition, unfelt for a quar--lor of a century, but merely ■om the fear thereof. What American, either in art, trade ■H arms, ever justly took counel of his fears? The advo «• ites of this policy speak of it i the light of a discovery, as >i: some new and grand device ;< ;culiarly adapted to the cii- • imstances of the young and j rowing Commonwealth in the amily of Nations. We are ummoned to recommence his>ry in the order of reversal* ins civilization which we jemed ripening under the :y of the West must take its ssons ©t political economy om the obsolete and odious iperstitions of China and .pan. Commercial exclusion id non-intercourse are the pes of NATIONAL DOTAGE id non-age, not of healthy owth or maturity. This contion of affairs can not be irmanent. I trust that we ay indulge the hope that in •urse of time even Massachutts and Rhode Island may *e of their condition of Asia- ; pupilage—may altogether scard the habits and opinas of the mandarin and the icado. One thing is ( ertain, will be discovered after a lile that that imperial grain, i 3 pearl of the harvest, has a . ire stealthy foe than the fly, j rust, or the weevil. It will • found that a large line of ohibitory duties means, not ' dy for American wheat, but r every other American proct ai d fabric, an inferior

demand, a secondary market, and the lowest prices. I make little doubt of the ultimate triumph of the interest of American agriculture. It will survive the spleen of Bismarck, the rivalry of foreign produc tion, and it will not succumb to the more secret and deadly hostility of its domestic enemies. What the genius of American agriculture needs for the products of her hardy sons is a facile, untrammoled roadway to the seaboard, thence into the open market of the world, and her march to the sea will be as irresistible in its progress, and as beneficent in its results, as the advance of that armed host which followed the brave, captor of Savannah through Georgia to the coast. “The party of the people must foster and cherish the business of the people. Wo’d you protect American labor or the American laborers, you will find them on the farm. WOtJLD YOU PROTECT 'AMERICAN CAPITAL ?

You will find its largest, safest and most permahent investment in lands. The amount and value of labor and capital invested in any other industrial pursuit compares with that invested in the tillage of the soil as one of Jupiter’s moons with the masses of the full-orbed planet. The proportion is the samfe, the relation is the same. All the great lines of industrial enterprise are the satellites of agriculture. Her children are attendants, they shine and glow in the light of the mighty mother; they decay in her eclipse. Was it ever before heard that a Nation best trod the way of thrift and increase by a deliberate prolonged depression of the leading industrial interests of its own people? On what page of history since the invention of the daybook and ledger is written an account of the time iq which agriculture highly flourished and manufacture and commerce declined? Ton American farmer has asked lias received very little 1< -islative aid or recognition. 7 e legislative protection aft led to the producer, the dm s upon rice, sugar and wo< . have been in their terms reLbonable and lawful, violateve of no constitutional Obligati m within the line of revenue; they have never touched or even approached the line of prohibitory exclusion. »Vill it be pretended that we have among us some recondite wares, some mysterious fabric more deserving of discriminating favor, more necessary to human comfort and happiness than daily food and raiment? There is no conceivable commodity in the whole range of commercial exchanges which can, by any mode of management, yield us returns so large, so constant, so remunerative as a plenary market for our great staples, the prdducts of the field and farm. The philosopher’s stone of the New World is ther plowshare. It will touch and turn into gold that which it touches more rapidly than aught else in onr abundant stores.”

WORKINGMEN AND THE TARIFF.

The present tariff was not made to protect the workingmen but increase the price of protected commodities. Who is benefited by the high prices ot ‘protected’ commodities—the workmen who have to buy them, or the tariff favorites who sell them? But protectionists say that the tariff raises wages. Suppose that it does. If the existing tariff increases wages one dollar a week, and at the same time increases living expenses three dollars a week, where is the gain to the workingmen? But the present tariff does not increase the rate of wages. The “unprotected” industries employ four times as many workingmen as the ‘protected’ industries, and thus control the rate of wages. The strong “unprotected” industries fix wages high, because their production is high. The industries that have to be maintained like paupers at the public expense drag wages down.— The “unprotected’’ industries never made “tramps.” It was the ‘protected’ industries which smashed m> in 1873. It was the “unprotected” in-

dustry which went safely thro’ the panic and afterward put the industry of the whole country on its feet. The present tariff increases the price of everything workingmen buy and thus taxes the country about eight hundred millions a year—sl6 on every man, woman and child in the United States. The workingman pays the greatest share: and six hundred and thirty millions goes into the pockets of monopolists, and one hundred and seventy millions only into the United States treasury. To change this is what free traders mean by a tariff for revenue. For what the workingman has to sell there is no protection. In the labor markets there is perfect free trade.

Editor SkntWel: The following re* ply to the Keener correspondent in last week’s Repuoticaa was handed the editor of that paper loijpublic tion. with a view thal the readers of the Keener effusion might also have the benefit of the re* spouse, and judge for themerres concerning the “skullduggery” mentieaefl by the star-befuddled smart Aleck of Keener. The Republican man refuses to publish tn full. I therefore ask you le favor me in i bat particular. Ezra C. Nowkls. Rensselaer, Ind.. April *l, 1884. Editor Rensselaer Republican: In your Issue of April. 17th instant, I noticed an articlee "From Keener and DeMette,” which contained about as much news of general information to the people as the publication of the fact that “George ashington is dead,” would be. This would-be very smart coirespondeut has not the courage to write over hie own name, but over that of ***. Judging from the toue of the article of this name less, cowardly, insignificant nincompoop of the “Heck oi the woods” of Keener, it would seem that he wants to secure the (rood will of bchwanke, who, in all probability he tried to deieat for Trustee, by making a \ uncalled for attack on Joseph F. Fairchild and George hi. Guild oyer my shoulders. He say “our eleciion, instead of being very close on Trustee, turned out to be a very decided, Jug handle affair. Mr. Bocgurt withdrew from the race, leaving Joe Fairchild aud Fred Schwanke, both Republicans, in the field —both good men and well qualified for the office. Result, Mr. Schwanke cam* out ahead two to one, —reason Ist. Fred is an old soldier, and the “boys” mean busiuess aud weut to work. Reason 2nd. Keener township is pre-.eminenily the banner republican townsbip of Jascouniy, and her people have got tired of having a democratic Auditor appoint her trustees, and voted against Mr. Fairchild simply he had been appointed by ex-auditor Nowels, not that they doubnd Mr. Fairchild, wa& ague,, man and a good republican, but as a rebuke, and to serve notiee, that, that kiuU of wireworkiug skullduggery, is “played out” in tUits neck of the weeds.” 1 should not have coudescended to answer tins cowan, iy, low and unuiauly article, were it ioi a penjoual attack upon luyocil a* well >. mitral al Air. Geo, Guild and Joseph P. Fairchild. He evidently wishes to convey the idea that there existed ateirible and villainous conspiracy between Messrs. Guild, Fairchild anu myself in the appointment «t a Trustee for Keener townsmp. Now, Mr. Editor, for the purpose of disabusing the minds of the readers es your pauer I will ew> deavor to give a lair statement oi facts as they were at th'# time of appointment of the Trustees for Keener township. At December term of Commissioners’ Court, 1880, Mr. VantWoud, Trustee of Keened, was awarded the sup rintendeucy of the county poor farm for two years.—[See Commissioners’ Record No- 8, page 300 And en March 8, 1881, Mr. VantWoud resigned as Trustee to take charge of tbs county farm. —(See Cuuimissioners’Recore No. 6, page 321. j The Commissioners at this lime w< re in session, ard Da iel E. Fairchild, supported by his many friends, asked the Board that he be appointed Trustee. Williem Tyler, supported by his many friends, was also an applicant for the position. There bfiag a rllffe enct of opinion in regard to whose duty it was to appoint—the C*mmissiouers or Auditor—all the facts were by me submitted to Daniel P. Baldwin, Attorney General.—(See copy of letter and answer now on file in the Auditor’s office,] Mr. Baldwin holding with me, that it was the duty of the Auditor te appoint, in aocordancc wttli this opinion . and my own understanding of the statute, it became my duty to appoint some one to fill the vacancy.—[Bee Revised Statute 1881, page 4440. The sentiment of the citizens of the being about ebually divided between Fairchild and Tvler, I concluded that the interests of the township would be better subserved by the appointment of an independent man, and Mr. Guild, being a man of good business qualifies** tions, and loeated near the center of the township, was appointed by me* —[See Commissioners’ Record No. 6,?page 352.) And in April, 1882, the electors ratified the appointment in the election of Mr. G. to the office held by him under my appointment one year before, demonstrating the fact that he was tho ‘right man in the right place.’ and the one best calculated to unite theopposiug elements of the township. Mr. Guild informed me, on or about the Ist of October, 1883, that he was about to move from the township, and asked me whom I would appoint. I replied. any one who would take it, and be acceptable to the people of the township, anil requested him t<> ascertain if .Hr. Fairchild wuuld nccep! the appointment. Mr. Guild hud an interview with Fairchild, uud notified me that he^would accept the appointment Whereupon Mr oo the 10th day of October, 1883, tender to me his resignation as Trustee, which.wan accepted aud Joseph P. Fairchild appointed to thf» vacancy—-[t-tee Oommissioners’Reeord No 7 wage 835 1 lie ‘rebuke’ Ibis- nameless, insignificant. diuurbing sneak ot an ignoramus ot Keener speaks of is, in my opinion, a very thin afhur to say the least If the people wanted to rebuke me wfiv did not they do so in November, 1882. when they hud an opportunity in do so with their ballots Hut no, they did not wish to rebuke an officer for doing his duly,' and the fact of my receivu.g 11 more votes to
