I rather expected my report would cause some comment, but it is all nonsense to call it a political document. I started this inquiry in December, 1800, so you see there was no thought of the present campaign in laying out the work. The tariff question was taken up because it has come to be one of the greatest moment to workingmen, in whose interest my bureau was established. Now, I am a Democrat —a Hill Democrat, if you will —and I began this inquiry with the belief that the result would vindicate the Democratic tariff position. The first returns came from the silk industry and were pleasant to my way of thinking. But I am free to admit that 1 he report on the whole is not in harmony with the Democratic platform so far as the tariff is concerned. However, my duty as a State official is to report things as I find them, not as a reckless partisan would like to have them construed. There is no political bias about any of my reports, uor do I believe there is in any of the reports of any labor bureau in the country. All I can say is that the statements of my report are based on actual confidential letters, received from 0,000 representatives of wholesale manufacturers of New York State, The result shows me that the leading Demo- < ratio speakers on the tariff are in error as to the effects of the Melvin- ! >y bill. The figures in my report speak for themselves, and there is no getting away from 1 hem.—Charles Peck. Labor Commissioner of the State of New York.

Behold the Contrast. “The Union soldiers and sailors are now veterans of time as well as of war. The parallels of age have approached close to the citadels elf life and the end, for each, of a brave and honorable struggle is not remote. Increasing infirmity and years give the minor tones of sadness and pathos to the mighty appeal of suffering. The ear that does not listen with sympathy and the heart that does not respond with generosity are the hearts of aliens and not of Americans. Now soon again the surviving veterans are to parade upon the great avenue of the national capitol, and every tribute of honor and life should attend the march. A comrade in the column of the victors’ parade in 1865, I am not less a comrade now.” —Harrison’s Letter of Acceptance. Henry Watterson, author of the free-trade plank in the Democratic platform, speaking through the Courier-Journal, says protection “is a job from one end to the other,, the more iniquitous because, whilst levying tribute upon the masses for the benefit of the classes, it is supplemented by a steady increasing pension list, looting the treasury to the tune of one hundred and fifty millions a year, two-thirds of which go to the support of coffee-coolers and camp-followers, and other red-nosed patriots that loaf about the doggeries and brothels of the country, swearing one for another, toward an ultimate aggrarianism as corrupt and corrupting as ever existed in the world.” And he says further: “The Democratic party can gain nothing by making wry faces and throwing harmless tufts of grass at this Republican Robber Tariff and this Republican Robber Pension List. It has everything to gain by the integrity of its convictions and the courage thereof. The administration of Grover Cleveland stands in a monument of unflagging devotion to the interests of, the people and implacable hostility to ‘the assaults of the looters.” Which of these parties is the veterans’ friend, and for whom will he cast his vote? Another Bad Break. Now comes J. H. Clark, proprietor of a large silk mill at Fultonville, N. Y., and a life-long Democi’at, and volunteers the following statement to the New York Tribune: “If I have time this fall I want to make a few speeches in the campaign in favor of Harrison and Reid and protection. I have lived in England and I have seen the condition of wage-earners there. I have seen girls come over here who earned the highest wages in England remain in the house for months because to appear on the streets in the clothing they brought with them would be humiliating. I could paint pictures of wretchedness there and prosperity here that would be the result of actual observation. I tell you this protection is a great thing. It has made my factory, and all factories, for that matter, recruiting headquarters for Republicans.” The above needs no comment- It speaks for itself. If you would transform this happy state of affairs to one of degradation and want, vote the Democratic ticket. A Democratic exchange says of President Harrison; “He cannot wipe out the Republican record.” That is true. Like the blood shed upon Calvary, no earthly power could expunge it from the record. It is the keepsake of patriots in every land. Its history is imperishable; it is written in a restored Union, with an organic law sufficient to insure the happiness of all. It has made our country a Republic in reality as well as name. Oh, no, not oue line would Harrison pluck from its proud page. It stands as a beacon light to those who come after us. Cleveland and ids followers would like to smash it, but, like the books of the Prophets and the history of the lowly Nazarene, its deeds of glory and achievements will live.

It appears that the leaders of the Democratic party fe$. a little shaky over the election of Cooper in this (the 5th) congressional district. It is conceded by all that George made some bad breaks, and even at his best he could be nothing more than a weak excuse for a representative from this district. He suffered himself to be made a tool of by soldierhaters, and was urged on by Southern brigadiers to attack Raum and the entire pension system, thus delaying the work in that office and causing many a poor old veteran who was trustfully awaiting the adjudication of his claim to pull up in the poor house. There are old veterans in this county whose claims are not yet passed upon who can justly charge the delay to Cooper. Again, when he should have been at the capitol attending to the business for which he was paid, he was at home working for a big fat attorney foe. If it is necessary for us to have a representative, we should have one in deed as well as in name.

Forty-five years ago Great Britain, after getting the start of the world in manufacturing by a most sweeping protection of its interests, declared for a revenue or free-trade tariff, such as the Democrats of this country are clamoring for now. And now at the end of forty-five years her majesty’s government and really the ablest practical statesmen in the kingdom confess to the world that England’s free-trade policy is a failure. Still this overwhelming testimony "fails to enlighten the freetrader, who now sees more glory in regulating our industries on the plan of the late Confederate constitution than he does in his country’s prosperity. If Christ would come and repeat his famous sermon on the mount, declaring himself the mediator between sinful man and an offended God, the free-trader would swear that his doctrine was class legislation and ho an enemy to progress. We cannot understand why there is so much secret opposition to a Republican club at this place. Every effort to get the young men organized that they may work for the ticket is frowned down and meets with nothing but coldness from those who always pose away from home as leaders of the party. We are heartily disgusted with these men and beg them to come out and give this move the sanction of their presence, if nothing more. Why do you sulk in your tent? Capt. John Worrell, Republican candidate for congress, will speak here Tuesday, Oct. 4, at 1 p. m. - As Mr. Worrell is a farmer, the tariff question will be discussed from a farmer’s standpoint. No tiller of the soil should fail to hear him. We Want Your Trade! Will have some special Bargains for Saturday Oct. 1st Chandler’s Special Bargain Store!
