The Republican party holds that a protective tarilV Is constitutional, wholesome and necessary |(ieneral Harrison's Letter.

"It may he for your interests that he (Mr. Cleveland) should win, Imt any expression of En ullsh sympathy would|prohably hurthls prospects."

London-Saturday Review, August 25, 1888, page 2112, second column.

We believe It to be one of the worthy objects of tariff legislation to preserve the American markets Tor American producers, and to maintain the American scale of wages by adequate discriminating duties upon foreign competing products.— I General Harrison's Letter.

The disfranchisement of a single legal elector by fraud or intimidation Is a crime too grave to be regarded lightly. The right of every qualified elector to cast one Iree ballot and have It counted must nut be questioned. Every constitutional power should bo used to make this right secure und punish frauds uponthe ballot.—[ (ieneral Harrison's Letter.

The Issue can not no)v be obscured. It Is not a contest between schedules, but between wide apart principles. The foreign competitors of our market have, witli quick Instinct, seen how one Issue or tills contest may bring them advantage, ami our own people are not so dull as to miss or neglect the grave interests that are Involved In them.— ICeuci'Ml Harrison.

Our relations with foreign powers should tie characterized by friendliness and respect. The right of our people and our ships to hospitable treatment should be.lnsisted upon with dignity and llrinmess. Our nation is too great, both In material strength ami in moral power, to Indulge In bluster or to be suspected of timorousness. Vacillation and Inconsistency areas Incompatible with successful diplomacy as they are with the national dignity. (ieneral Harrison's Letter.

II can hardly lie necessary for me to say that I am heartily In sympathy with the declaration

ot

the convention upon the subject of pen­

to our soldiers. What they gave and what tlicy sniveled 1 had some opportunity to observe, ami. In a small measure to experience. They gave ungrudgingly It was not a trade, but an offering. The measure was heaped up, running over. What they achieved, only a distant generation can adequately tell. Harrison's Letter of Acceptance.

The London Iron Messenger of AuHimt 1 says, in speaking of the Mills bill: Perhaps the greatest alteration laid down In the entire range ot the new tariff Is that which places on the Iree list, thereby abolishing the duty of 1 cent per pound, or about .i'4 13s Id per ton. Tills change will be certain to administer a notable stimulus to the Welsh tin plate trade, and through it to the Iron and steel trades. The alteration. If adopted. Is also certain to put a stop to the project for manufacturing tin-plates In the United .States.

••We demand tariff reform and we set our faces In the direction of free trade." ••The Democrat who Is not a free trader should go els»where."

The conillct between free trade and protection Is Irrepressible and must be fought out to the bitter end. We spit upon compromises and propose neither to ask nor to give quarter." "The lVmecrattc party, except in the person of Imbeciles hardly worth mentioning. Is not upon the fence. It Is a free trade party or It is nothing." "There can 1* no cooked.up platform and no compromise candidate." "The black Hag Is up. No quarter will lie asked and no quarter given."—Extracts from Henry Watterson letters and editorials In the Louisville Courier-Journal.

It Is suggested that the diminished wages ot the worklngman will have an undiminished purchasing power, and that he will lie able to make up for the loss of the home market by an enlarged foreign market. Our workingmen have the settlement of the question In their own bauds. They now obtain higher wages and live more comfortably than those of any other country. They will make choice between the substantial advantages they have In hand and the deceptive promises and forecasts of those theorizing reformers. Tuey will divide for themselves and for ihe country whether the protective system shall Ik continued or destroyed.-[(ieneral Harrison.

Jack Frost is the only competent physician to treat yellow fever.

What will Mr. Cleveland do with the Chinese restriction bill which he sent to congress by his trusted messenger, Bill Scott, of Pennsylvania?

Our esteemed contemporary is alarmed lest the distilleries movj into Canada. It isn't alarmed lest the manufactories are driven out of the country.

Henry George said: Mr. Cleveland stands before the conntry a champion of free trade. Mr. Mills' speech Is a manly, vigorous and most effective free-trade speech.

Free trade does not mean the doing away with the custom houses. In the English sense free trade yet has use for the custom houses. It is free trade in the English sense that Mr. Mills advocates and the workingmen repudiate.

Mr. Thurman talksabout the platform which "I and Grover Cleveland" stand on. The old man is living in the past and the fulsome flattery bestowed on him has not been without effect. Ihe pity of it all increases with each public appearance of this old gentleman.

Mr. Roger Q. Mills, who is here tonight to speak to the workingmen and to all others interested in our industries, comes from a district in Texas in whose eight, counties there are not as many men employed in manufactories as there are in one ward in this city. He who comes here as a teacher is the product of a state whose intelligence is measured by 12,000,000 newspapers mailed to subscribers in one year as against GO,000,000 in Indiana, 72,000,000 in Ohio and 87,000,000 in Illinois. Mr. Mills -should be heard with courtesy, but it is a good rule to always read the preface and know something about the author before you read the book.

A WAR RECORD.

A few weeks ago the Sullivan Union reproduced from the files of the Sullivan Democrat the following catechism which appeared in the latter paper during the war. Since then THE EXPRESS has seen it reproduced in many of its exexchanges. It is now working its way through the Eastern press. Here it is:

What Is an army? A provost guard to arrest white men and set negroes free.

What Is the meaning of coining money? Printing green paper. What Is the meaning of the word liberty? Incarceration in a vermin-Infested biistlle. What was Abe Lincoln's trade? A rall-splltter. What Is he now? A Union splitter. Who Is a Seward? A prophet In the temple of the black dragoons, and a Ulster in the government whisky distillery.

This is the newspaper that denied that Mr. Voorhees used the "Lincoln collar" speech.

NO DODGING.

If there is any characteristic of the Gazette which calls for admiration it is stubborness. You may be vexed with it in its persistent malishness and its persistence in adhering to a wrong doctrine, though it does so to the extent of malicious misrepresentation and yet you have a feeling that is akin to admiration for its utter disregard of facts and reason. Our surprise was great yesterday when it began tacking, awkwardly too, and undertook for the first time to deny that it was, with full sail, heading for the Utopia of free trade. The editor of the Gazette has repeatedly said that he was in favor of a reduction of tariff duties that did not only go beyond the horizontal scale or the per cent, reduction but that "chopped the dog's tail off behind his ears."

The advocacy of this doctrine a few months ago did not require much courage as all the leaders in the party were advocating it, more or less explicitly, but of late the free traders have called all hands to about ship and even the able seaman across the way has begun tugging at the ropes. The impending storm has alarmed even him into tractable service, but his efforts are not of much force. See how akward he is:

Henry (ieorge and his followers are free traders. They are the only free traders In the country. They would abolish all taxes, both by the tariff and by internal revenue, substituting for both, and raising all the revenue for the government, national, state, county, township, and city, by a single tax on land values. They are free traders, and nobody else Is.

So long as we have an Internal revenue tax, and that the Democrats always would have, there must, to go no further, be custom duties equal to the Internal revenue tax on those articles. If we tax by the internal revenue system whisky 90 cents a gallon, and no Democrat wants to see that tax lowered a cent and thousands would like to see it increased, we must tax imported whisky In the custom houses an equal amount or all the distillers would move across the borders Into Canada or into Mexico. That is obvious, and as long as there Is not free trade and as the Democrats propose to keep the custom houses they are obviously not free traders.

To be sure there is a good deal in this that is confusing, and one can't tell whether or not the writer is pulling on the right rope, but he is trying to help pull things into shape.

Mr. Mills is to be here to-night. The Gazette has practically hauled down its colors in honor of Mr. Mills, who will deny that he is a free trader. TUE EXI'KKSS, in the interest of truth, reproduces in several places the utterances of those authorized to speak for the Democracy, including Mr. Mills himself, to show that the party when well was a "devil of a monk."

THE PRICE AND DUTY.

Is the duty imposed under the protective tariff added to the price of the protected article? We have already answered this question in the negative, and given some facts and figures to prove it, but there are others available, says the Pittsburg Chronicle. Let us this time take up some of the products of the farm.

Professor Denslow, in his work on the principles of economic philosophy, says that if it were true that wherever there is any importation, however small, under a tariff duty, the duty enhances the price of the whole domestic product by the amount of tariff, the farmers of America would be the recipients of more taxes thau all the governments of Europe combined collect. For instance, he says, we imported in one year 0,685,033 pounds of butter under a tariff duty of 4 cents per pound, which paid the revenue §267,403.75. This, on the free trade doctrinaire's theory, added 4 cents per pound to the prices of all the butter consumed in the United States, because the home price was raised by the duty. Suppose we produced 736,256,897 pounds of butter, now, this was one hundred times morethan we imported, so that the importation was insignificant as compared with the domestic supply. If the argument of the free traders were true, the tax of 4 cents per pound on the consumers of butter benefited the farmers and dairymen to the amount of $20,454,2(5.88 an a

Our production of coal was forty times as much as we imported, and of lumber twenty-four times as much, and the same principle applies to all, viz., that the importation is insignificant as a source of supply compared with the domestic production, and the greater source rules the market instead of the lesser.

In the year under consideration we imported about 190,000 bushels of potatoes, which paid a duty of 25 cents per bushel, or $-16,458.81. Now, according to the doctrinaires, the "potato monopolists" had the price of their whole domestic product enhanced by 25 cents per bushel. This on a product of say 250,000,000 bushels would have been a gain to the potato grower of $62,500,000, if this theory was correct. For if it be not a rule that the foreign price with duty added fixes the price of the home product, then the free trade people have lost their grivance.

Take grains, flour and meal as another instance, the average duty thereon being 15 cents per bushel. Say we imported enough to yield a duty of $954,616.46, while our domestic production was, say, 3,289,270,850 bushels, which, if increased by the average rate of duty on the amount imported, would have levied a tax on the consumers in favor of the "grain monopolists" of §343,290,672.50, or about equal to our whole national taxation. On these three articles—butter, potatoes and grain—the consumers would be paying the producers a tax, over and above the cost of production, amounting to $433,544,902. Extending the same calculation to all of the twelve hundred articles on which duties are charged, the doctrinaires might, with the same propriety, assert that the people are taxed in all by the tariff at least $5,000,000,000, or the equivalent of all their annual earnings, leaving them absolutely not a crust nor a bone, except as all live on the protective taxes they collect.

A theory which results in such startling conclusions can with no more truth be applied to pig iron, wool, salt, coal and lumber, than to grain, potatoes and butter. If it be said that grain, potatoes and butter are articles of exportation as well as import, so are pig iron, cotton goods, salt, iron and steel manufactures and lumber. Are our farmers collecting $433,500,000 of "private tax" on their products, over and above the sum paid the government on the portion of such articles imported? If not, neither are the American manufacturers of pig iron, salt, lumoer and coal collecting a tax on their whole product equal to the amount of the duty. On the contrary, if the true law of prices is that the market value of any article depends on the ratio of the whole supply to the whole demand, and that the foreign price only contributes to regulate the domestic price in the proportion that the foreign supply bears to the domestic supply, there is only one conclusion at which we can arrive. Our importation of coal, for instance, being adequate to supply only 2l2 per cent, of our demand, contributes one part in forty toward fixing the price. If there is a fall or rise of 40 cents per ton in coal, 1 cent per ton may be credited to Nova Scotia. So, as we produce twenty-four times as much pig iron and lumber as we import, our importations of either only affect in that proportion the actual changes in price in those commodities, and so on.

This being the case, it is substantially true that our domestic supply determines not only our own price but the foreign price of those producers abroad who sell their product in our markets. For butter makers in Canada and coal miners in Nova Scotia and iron and Steel makers in Great Britain will not sell their goods to Caanadians and Nova Scotians and British, except at the prices they can get in the United States. Now, in considering the price they can get in "the states," they know, first, that they can get the average price ruling here, and, secondly, that out of this price they must pay the duty. If they afford to send their goods at the price prevailing here, and pay the duty out of what would else be their profits, they export if not, they stop exporting. So that in all these cases where the ratio of the amount impopted to the domestic production is small, and no particular quality in the imported article compels its importation, the foreign producer pays the duty. It can not, iu the nature of things, raise prices. It brings into the national treasury many millions of taxes out of these foreign producers who compete with ours, and to whom free trade means freedom to profit by our established prices. But this is not the only or the principal mode in which a protective tariff collects our revenue out of foreigntrs, either.

Mr. Roger Q. Mills, author of the Mills bill, said in congress four years ago:

Wealth, prosperity and power will bUss the land that Is dedicated to free men, free labor and free trade.

This year Mr. Mills said to a delegation of Philadelphia wool merchants: The more confusion the tarttf works to business the better I like It, because it will the sooner be done away with. I desire free trade, and 1 will not help to perfect any law that stands in the way of free trade.

THE TERRE HAUTE EXPRESS. SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 22,1888.

HAPPY DAY" NOBTHRUP.

The Death of a Qnaiat Character, with a Varied Experience. NEW YORK, September 21.—The com­

munity of about three hundred miscellaneous persons who make their home in the Hotel St. George on Brooklyn Heights would not have missed their oldest member, Mr. Charles S. Northrup, had not Custom House Inspector Joseph O'Neil, who occupies the apartments adjacent to the room of the old man, remarked casually to Proprietor Tumbridge yesterday morning: "I did not hear any prayer meeting last night. Mr. Northrup must be sick." The pretty chambermaid of the tenth floor soon after reported to the housekeeper the unprecedented news that "Happy Days" had not slept in his room on Tuesday night, and consequently the hotel was ahead two clean towels. By and by a messenger from the Chambers Street hospital, New York, brought intelligence of the venerable gentleman's sudden death from apoplexy.

He had left the hotel Tuesday morning in his usual cheerful frame of mind, and with his old silk hat of extraordinary size shading a face at once the saddest, the most benevolent, the most kindly in expression that has been for years familiar to the residents of Brooklyn Heights. "Happy Days" was the nickname given him by those who knew little of this lonely old man beyond the fact that nightly in his room, far above the sights and sounds of the city, he was wont to sit by the hour reading his Rible aloud and singing Methodist hymns, among which his favorite was the one with this refrain: "Oh,happy day, happy day, when Jesus washed my sins away."

Always in the early hours of the night, when he knew that his devotions would disturb no one, this pious father of a large family that had forsaken and deceived him sought consolation in solitude, and was not ashamed to let the wild young men who played billiard's down stairs until 3 o'clock in the morning know that the happy hours of life are not those of conviviality, but of communion with one's self.

Everybody respected Mr. Northrup, and nobody knew how he managed to live without visible occupation. Now that he is dead, the few who laughed at his simple and open faith in Heaven, will acknowledge that he deserves all the eternal happiness and peace in which he so earnestly trusted. When the war began Mr. Northrup was a rich man, part of his property being invested in half a million dollars worth of government bonds. It was his misfortune to have relatives in whom he trusted and who induced him to invest in wild schemes that ruined him. One of these was a company organized to manufacture a medical powder from the waters of an alkaline lake in Mexico. The ravages of war destroyed much of his property in the South, and ho won several suits against the government for damages. This money, with the financial, help he received from his brother-in-law, HenryJW. Sabine, property clerk of the New York and Brooklyn bridge, was sufficient for his modest needs. He had pending at the time of his death a suit for the recovery of $12,000 damages, the success of which was almost certain. In a burst of confidence unusual with Mr. Norturup, he once communicated the information that his failure in life,his poverty in old age, were a warning against the folly of indorsing promissory notes for friendship. "Yet, I thank my friends for being the cause of all my misfortune," he said, "because I found a friend in Jesus."

On the 31st of March, 1882, Mr. Henry Watterson said: The Democratic party, except In the persons of imbeciles hardly worth mentioning, Is not on the fence. It Is a free trade party, or it Is nothing.

On the 20th day of March, 1882, Mr. Watterson said: The Democrat who is not a free trader should go elsewhere. He should join the Republicans.

The Democratic party will make a free trade light in 1884. If It loses. It will make another in 1888. The conillct between free trade and protection Is Irrepressible, and must be fought out to the bitter end. We spit upou compromls-s, and propose neither to ask nor give quarter.

A SNAKES HEAD.

A Negro Boils It in Coffee so as to Kill His Wire. KM PUTS, Tenn., September 21.—Louis

Hill, a negro fugative from Green county, Mississippi, was arrested near this city yesterday by the sheriff of Union county, who came upon him accidentally. Five years ago Hill resolved to get rid of his wife in order to wed a dusky belle who had enslaved him. He consulted a voodoo priestess, who told him to extract the poison from a moccasin snake and ndminister it to his wife in the seventh hour of the seventh day following. lie succeeded in capturing a moccasin, but the reptile was so vicious that he was afraid to make the extraction of its poison bag. He therefore cut off its Read and boiled it in the coffee which his wife drank at breakfast. She was immediately taken ill, and for a week lingered between life and death, but finally recovered. The snake's head was found among the coffee grounds which Hill had thrown beside his cabin, and he was arrested and indicted for attempted murder.

The Gazette, having its cue, began yesterday preparing for Mr. Mills' speech bj saying Henry George and his followers are the only free traders in the country. The Democratic national convention of 1856, in Cincinnati, resolved:

That the time has come for the people of the United States to declare themselves In favor of progressive free trade throughout the. world.

The Democratic national conventions of 1860, held at Baltimore and Charleston, adopted a resolution "declaring our affirmance" of the above declaration.

He'll Think of It Then.

While Mr. Mills was arguing for free raw material in one of his speeches in th« East, one of his auditors asked him why it was that with free raw cotton our cotton manufacturers did not fill the markets of the world. Mr. Mills is said to have replied: "Go soak your head." The poet thus writes:

While a Democrat was speaking Of the blessings of free trade A question was presented,

And the answer that he made Was: "You

Soak

Yo' Head!"

And when the votes are counted On the 6th of next November. Then this Democratic speaker

I lie likely to remember Wl His "You

"How did General Hovey vote upon the resolution?" "He voted consistently, every time to have the matter reopened and to give me a fair chance. That is why I take such an interest in the workingmen of Indiana to vote for General Hovey for governor. He treated me fairly and squarely. All the Democratic congressmen in Indiana voted against me."

Mr. Roger Q. Mills, author of the Mills bill said in congress four years ago:

THE SCHOOLMASTER WAS DEAD.

Sad News Learned by a Stranger from New York After a Journey West.

A stranger about 25 years old entered a Woodward avenue drug store the other day and asked to see a city directory, says the Detroit Free Press. He could not find the name he was after and finally inquired if the druggist had ever heard it. "Why, bless you, the man has been dead two years," was the reply. "Is that possible? He was an old schoolmaster, wasn't he?" "Yes." "Carried his head on one side, didn't he?" "He did." "Always looking around as if to catch some boys whispering or cutting up?" "Yes I often remarked the habit." "Well, if he is dead that ends it, I suppose," sighed the stranger, as he closed the book. "You had business with him?" "I had. I came here from Attica, N. Y., on purpose to lick him. Twenty years ago he taught school there, I was one of the pupils. One day I passed a note to the girl I loved, and the old man caught me at it. He got the note and read it aloud to the school, and then feruled the girl and tanned my jacket. I promised her to live to lick him. I was ready to do it ten years ago, but he came West. It was only the other day that I heard where he was. I come on to find him dead." "And you would have licked him?" "Most assuredly, and then made him beg my pardon besides. I've thought over it and dreamed of it and licked him in my mind's eye a thousand times, and now I am too late! It's hard luck—very hard"luck. I might as well start back to-night."

The Hon. George G. Vest, senator from the state of Missouri, in a letter to a club named in his honor, written under date of June 26, last, said:

Mr. Cleveland, by his message, for which I sincerely honor him, has challenged the protected Industries of the country to a light of extermination.

It Is useless for us to disguise the fact

that the light Is to the death, and we would be Idiots to Ignore It.

DEMOCRATIC SIMPLICITY.

How Major MacBride Prevents Voters From Bolting Clevelaud.

Since Major MacBride succeeded in making Mr. Brice the picturesque feature of the campaign, he has become a political missionary, savs the New York correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, and is teaching politics in its rawest form. He made a Democratic convert, the other day, of an employe at the Fifth Avenue hotel.

The employe naked Major McBride about the fisheries questions. lie said that he understood the Canadians refused to give our fishermen bait, and therefore he was down on the Canadians, and was going to vote with the Republicans. Said Major MacBride: "You don't understand the matter at all. Now, I will explain it to you in a nutshell. You see, it is just this way. The Americaa fishermen go up there without any bait, because they are too lazy to get it here, or are not able to preserve it on the way. They land there and dig up the front yard of the people and their gardens, leave the gates open so the neighbors' cows come in and eat off the turnip tops and tramp down the vegetable. beds, and it makes those Canadian people mad. They want it stopped, and President Cleveland has issued a proclamation to stop it. But the Republicans are in favor of letting the thing go on. Now, how would you feel under the same circumstances?"

The employe thanked Major MacBride for his information, saying that he had not fully understood the matter before, and he was on the side of the Canadians henceforth in the matter, and would vote for Mr. Cleveland sure.

Senator McDonald at Indianapolis in a speech this campaign said: I am opposed to the so-called protective system upon the ground that it Is a violation of the spirit and meaning of the constitution conferring the taxing power. I believe that free trade between nations, as between Individuals, Is the foundation upon which commerce should rest.
