GOV. GRAY’S SPEECH.

a President. I have thought of the large fees paid to lawyers to prosecute the Starrouters, of nearly a quarter of a million in the aggregate.— How it was delayed uDtil the evidence was scattered so that it could not be had or barred by statute of limitations. I have not even forgotten the eminent reformers of the Republican party, Mr. Babcock, Mr. Belknap, Robeson and Dorsey, not even failing to remember that eminent reformer, Mrs. Eliza Pinkston (Applause and laughter.) I have been thinking of the civil service resolution. If they have ever reformed any Republican official since it has been adopted, I do not think anyb )dy in this country has heard of it. One word in conclusion: whenever they can enact law or laws, or get up some kind of machinery that will look into the heart of a man and tell us whether he is honest or not, then I am for that kind of a civil service lawanc until they can do that I am not for it. I want the people to sit in judgment upon the qualifications and fitness for office. The Government of the United States never lost anything through ignorance or incapacity, what the people want te prevent is down right rascality by accomplishswindlers. (Applause.) Gentlemen, again thanking you for the nomination you have given me here to-day, for this high consideration of your judgment, I promise you that you will see me at more than one hundred political hustings during the coming canvass. (Applause.)

THE TARIFF AND THE FARMER.

Ed. Sentinel: An address, delivered before the New Jersey State Agricultural Society by Hon. ihomas Dudly, is being widely circulated by the Republican party as a campaign document. This document ostensibly ets forth the claims of agriculture, but covertly presents the manufacturer’s interest, and, in doing so, advocates a tariff for protection. It assumes that a protective tariff is needful to the success of of manufacturing interests and that the farmer is depentent on manufacturers for a home market. “If,” says Mr. Dudly, “protective duties tend to do this by building up manufactories, and gives employment to labor, then protection benefits ihe farmer.” In the course of the argument it is conceded that our manufactured commodities can be afforded so cheap as to be sent to foreign markets and placed in competition with foreign manufactured articles. In corroboration of this statement we quote the following paragraphs: “As one proof of thisjyou have only to look over the exports from our country to foreign countries of our manufactured commodities. We are sending to other nations yearly our agricultural implements. including fanning mills horse powers, mowers and reapers, plows, cultivators, forks, hoes, etc., carriages, carts, cotton goods, railroad cars, locomotives, steam engines, watches, clocks, glass and glassware, hats, caps, boots, shoe?, wearing apparel, machinery cutlery, eage tools, files, saws, firearms, nails, India rubber goods, jewelry, lamps, saddlery, harness, organs, piano fortes, paper, stationery, printing presses, sewing machines, household goods, furniture, woodwork tinware, and scales. As a rule men do not export goods to another country to be sold at a loss, and when you see a manufacturer sending his goods to a foreign country steadily for a succession of years it is fair to presume that he does it because he can get more there than he •an at home; in other words, that they are cheaper here than in the foreign country to which they are exported. During the fiscal year 1880 we exported to foreign countries; JO6 millions of dollars of onmanufactured commodities; md during last year nearly #0 millions of dollars, whilst u 1868 our exports only imounted to 68 millions.”

If, as above stated, oui manufacturers can send their commodities abroad and successfully compete with foreign manufacturers where, is the necessity for protection? The plea for a protective tariff has always been that our manufacturers could not successfully compete with foreign manufacturers. Here it is affirmed in this Republican campaign document that our manufactured commodities can be disposed of at a profit in foreign markets; nay, more, that they are exported and disposed of in large quantities. It would have interested our farmers very much if the prices for which our commodities sell in foreign markets had been stated. It would be a matter of t urprise to some of our farmers to learn that our manufactured commodities are shipped to foreign ports and sola for a less price than is exacted for the same article at home. In consequence of our protective system, and the facilities it affords for combinations, our farmers are made to pay exorbitant prices tor farming implements and other commodities favored by this system. It would be well for those farmers win have been favored with this campaign documentlto read it in connection with the speech of Hon. Thos. J. N oodjwnich clearly and forcibly demonstrates how the protective system affects the interest of tne farmer. This tariff question is one that vitally affects the interests of agric lturists, and they sho’d look well to it before they approach the ballot-box at the coming election. The farmer who favors protection is nourishing a viper that, in the end, will sting him to death.

PILOT GROVE ITEMS.

Pleasant weather. Crops are looking fine. No sickness in this neighborhood. Cleveland and McDonald are the men we want. They will get there, Eli, n|spiteof Mulligan Blaine «> >d Dirty* Dog Logan. It causes our han i ! ome features to light up wi 11 l a smile when wo hear some of the big cuss words that some of the Republicans use when speaking of Blaine and Dirty-dog Logan. Don't spit it out, but swallow it down like good little children. On last Thursday evening Tilla and Lida Schanelaub were both made happy by the unloading of a fine Organ at their home. It is, indeed, a beauty. Mis. Miller, of Chicago, is visiting with her parents Mr. and Mrs. Black, of this place. Mr. Black is a Scotchman, but will vote the Democratic ticket in spite of the poet who saj s,

“The Scots are stubborn as a cuddy, Some through ambition, swang and wuddy.” Now is the time when every good Democrat should begin the good work of converting his Repulican neighbor over to the cause of justice and right. Every Democrat can accomplish something if he but goes to work with a will. If eveiy Democratic voter will work faithfully and stand shoulder to shoulder in the coming fight, we will surely elect our President. Subscribe for your home paper, ai.d above all don’t forget to pay the editor the little you owe him. We have frequently heard in the past week the name of Samuel Barker used in connection with the office of Sheriff of Newton county. Mr. B. is a popular young man, well and favorably known in this county, and we believe there is no one better qualfied. We say nominate him, and his many friends may elect him. Captain Jack. .

In \VK the nowerfnl nation of England enact ed a law requiring all her subjects to attend the established worship, un<F-r the very severe penalty of banishment. At this time, living in jthe Northern part of England, wag a religions sect, known as rnritans, who could,pot comply, and that they might enjoy more liberty. aDd worship God in accordance with their relig ous views a d according to the dictates of their own conscience, they determined to exile themselves to Holland. Bnt after manv long years of hardships, bitter disappointments and privations, ana ha’ing learned of the broad expanse of country on the American continent, this little band of Pilgrims and Worshipers determined to emigrate to America. Therefore/ in accordance with this determination, in the year 1620 they prepared for the vovage by equipping the Mayflower an’d Speedwe 1. But these two small vessels would not carry all, so it was agreed that only the youngest andmost active should go, and the older ones with their venerable and dearly loved pastor should remain. When everything was ready for the voyage and they could not tarry longer. The pastor knelt with his little flock and wanderers, with anguish of heart a* d copious tears coursing down their cheeks, they heard for the last time the voice of their pastor as he lifted his vofee to the God of b attics In exhortation and prayer for them; bnt they knew they were pilgrims and lifted their eyes to heaven their dea; est country. After a wea'v, stormy voyage they, on the ninth day of Noveraner, 1820, in 'he midst of a terrific storm, landed at Cape Cod, and after giving thanks aDd praise to God for their preservation from so many dangers thev. on the 11th day of November, 1«>20, executed and signed an instrument as the foundation of their future needful government, which they bound themselves to obey. Here, then, in the wilds of America, this little band of Pilgrims, surrounded on all sides by savages, and the waves of the ocean stretching thousands of miles away, separating them from the’r kindred and friends, under the guidance of a Supreme Euler planted in America the first germ of liberty that enlightens the world. Thus, left alone in a vast wilderness, with the treacherous Indian tribes for their neighbors, tn cy began the labor of establishing a tree, in* dependent and God-fearing people. Pass ng from the s.istory of the sixteenth to to the eeventeentli ce'itury.weflnd that notwithstanding all their toil, hardships, aud conflicts with the Indians and French Ithat. continued to decimate their ranks for a hundred years and upwards, we find that on the fourth day of September, 1774, the date of the organization of the first Congress of America, there was a population of over three millions of people on the soil of America asking aud appealing to England that thev he relieved of the burdens of taxation unless they be allowed and accorded a representation. Thus the germ of liberty that is enlightening the world was bdlng fanned and kindled by the oppression and tj’rant y of England, that f mi appeases with laws of justice and equality would soon b-eak forth into a mighty, consuming Maine and devour all obstacles that should stand in the wav of liberty. But these appeals were not heeded liv the mother country. Therefore, as a measure of necessity, on the 4th day of July- 1770. Congress, then assembled, "Declared th t, these United Colonies are, nnd.oi a right ought to he. Free and Independent States.’ The signing of this Declaration on the eth of July. 1776. by the members of Congress, an assemblage of the grandest, purest and most selfsacrificing patriots the world had ever seen, marked a new era in the his'ory of man, and ftcr a long and bloody conflict the United Colonies, with the. assistance of France and that illustrious and noble warrior, La-Fayette, who shed his blood ’on the field of Brandywine for his love of liberty, England was glad to make foi peace. Acc.ordin ly, on the 20th day of January, 1783, Articles oi Peace were signe.d which made America Independent in fact as well ns in name. This new era was distinguished by a free Representative Government—by entire religious liberty—by improved systems of national intercourse—by a newly awakened and uucontrollablc spirit offireo inquiry, and by a diffusion of knowledgejtlirough the community. JSnch as had before been altogether unknown ana unheard of, and under these systems and infl 'ences America rapidly advanced and took her place in the first ruik among the nations of the earth, and her advice and counsel have been -ought on many qns 'tions at i-sue between other nations. Yet liberty which enlightens the world had other missions to fulfil. After the settlement of tne trouble between Mexico aim the U ited States, in 1049, whei.by the Untied States gained large acquisitions of tjrrltorv, sectional politics, during the time from 1850 to 1860, grew warm and animated and had the eft' ct of riaving one portion of the Union against the other. Though it may not be of interest to yon, my C lUiiiryniOK ,|i n reca rite history of what,followed tbefiring upon our mil inn al flag at Fort Sumter, on the Htli ‘lay of Apr!’, lSiil. But those gallant soldiers sitting around ns here to-day—their hearts beat qnick.n, and the li e-blood courses more freely through their veins, when they r. - call the time when the music of the fife and drum hastened them to enlist as soldiers to ao battle for their country’s cause; mid. oh, the anguish of your hearts when you bid fat) er, mother, sister, brother, wife and children good-bye, knowing full well all could ne’er return, fiut your couutry called, and as patriots and freemen you west forth to light for th perpetuation of vour Gove nment; and though you suffered and languished in hospitals ar.d mad > ma y long and forced matches, and mnny comrades fell in battle by your side,! yet the. recollection ofj the shouts of victory that went up to Heaven, and couid be heard above the din of b ttle J when you planted the ensign of liberty, the* glorious flag, upou|tbe battlement* of the enemy’s once strongholds at Sumter. Vicksburgh, Richmond, and manv other places, your cheeks tingle and you are filled with enthusiasm eueh as is only known to freemen.— And those gray-haired parents, and the wives and children of the soldiers who sleep in y- uder cemetery can never forget the pangs a. d heartaches ot that parting upon Washington street, inlßenssolaer. and after the fearful struggle which lesnlted in the liberation of three million souls from bondage, and Lee had surrendered, the news spread like flashes of light al, over the country, that the rusty iron doors of Southern Prisons had swung open and the half-clad and starving boys in blue were on their way to home and friends. Oh! what shouts of praise ascended to Heaven, and what tears of ioy were shed, and the whole nation. as with onejvoice, could say in the language of Whitter: "Go ring the bells and fire the guns. And fling the starry banner ont. Shout "Freedom” till your lisping ones Give l) ck their cradle shout. Let boasted eloquence declaim, Of honor, lib rty and fame Still let the poet’s strain be heard. With glory for each second word, And every hing with breath agree. To praise our glorious liberty.” My countrymen, wo stand to-day pre-eminent-ly the grandest nation the sun ever shone upon. A Continentin extent, an island in security, united in sentiment, we could stand aguinst the nations of the world, and tnis grardure of position has been fittingly po trayed by the greai French sculptor Bortholdi who nas made, under the direction of the French Republic a collossal statu of the Goddess of Liberty, aud presented to the Amerlcnn people, which is to be erected onßedloe’B Island, New York harbor, and while we ate celebrating here 'to day, the people of New York are laying the corner stone of the structure that is to receive this collos-al monument of American Liberty, when completed and nnveiled to the world, standing there one hundred and fifty feet high, with her right hand extended on high, holding a torch lighted by electricity, while m her left she holds a book to represt nt the law of well doing. This coliosal statue can he seen for a hundred mileg around, and stands for Liberty itnlightening the World, aud undei the shadow of Liberty the people are greater thanlKinzor Emperor, and the rights.of ail are respected and religious liberty guaranteed because it emeuates from the throne of God.
