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, 1880, 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 the 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, nor do I believe there is in any of the reports of any labor bureau in the com; try. All -I can say is that the statements of my re-, port are based on actual confidential letters, received from representatives of wholesale manufacturers of New York State. The result shows me that the leading Democratic speakers on the tariff are in error as to the effects of the McKinley bill. The figures in my report speak for themselves, and there is no got ting away from them. —Charles F. Peck, Labor Commissioner of the State of New York.

TO OUR FRIENDS. With this issue of the Republican our labor as its editors and proprietors will close forever. We have aimed to be fair and truthful in every discussion and to give our patrons a paper of which they need not be ashamed. How well wo have succeeded in this wo leave to the judgment of our readers. Wo thank them for the patronage and good will that has in the short space of five months placed the Republican on a substantial footing, equal to any in the county. In retiring from its control we are pleased to introduce to the public a successor so worthy as Mr. Jay C. Smith. Ho is a young man of sterling abilities, a recent graduate of Franklin College, and will bring energy as well as intelligence into the work. Those of our friends who have not yet paid their subscription will confer a favor on the retiring management by calling at the office and liquidating the same. All outstanding subscriptions will be payable to our. successor. Again we thank our friends for the many favors bestowed on this office and ask that they be as cheerfully extended to our successor. Jos. Carter & Son. Senator Hill did a bold thing in his recent speech construing the Chicago platform after his own idea, when he took the tariff bull squarely by the horns. His very boldness should be an incentive to Republicans to join in a vigorous discussion of this issue. Mr. Hill was careful to point out feat it is “Republican protection,” and not the protective system itself which he was denouncing as a fraud and robbery. Ho proposes to disarm public suspicion and allay public fear in this way. There was no attempt to defend free trade, but on the contrary we are assured that American industries will be better cared for under Democratic than under Republican protection. It is all a great shame, to be sure, but the American people must not be deceived by any such talk. Republicans must meet the issue with a skill and determination which has only begun to manifest itself- We cannot afford to sit idly by with our hands in our pockets and allow such men as Senator Hill to lead any easily-influenced voter astray. The time is short and the duty to act promptly is imperative. The present campaign has been remarkably quiet. The oldest citizen again has been “knocked out,” for he never saw such a quiet time. It is now less than five weeks until the election and very few demonstrations have yet been made. But from all parts of the State are coming reports of enthusiastic meetings held in the interest of the principles of Republicanism. It is not to be regretted that the campaign has been so quiet, for it means that much thinking is being done, and no party based upon right principles need fear a campaign where the voters think out thoroughly the principles of the platform. When voters do this we need not fear a return to the wild-cat currency of former days,for every voter is interested in seeing that one dollar is the equal of every other dollar in value; the laborer who thinks will not vote with a party who threatens his wages by the passage cf reactionary tariff laws; the business man who thinks will vote with the party which protects him in the* conduct cf his business. The Republicans need fear nothing, from a campaign in which men think. But because the campaign is quiet, the party cannot afford to relax in its vigilance. Every man must watch his man and see that every ballot is cast and that every voter is thoroughly instructed in the requirements of the new law. Republicans do not intend to lose the election on the 8th of November, but they must keep their eyes open and work. Eternal vigilance is the price which they must pay for their success. Miss Cora Harker will visit Edinburg friends next Sunday.

Statistics show that by virtue of the new tariff the importations of horses, sheep, cattle, barley, oats, oat-meal, rye, eggs, vegetables, hops, flax seed and tobacco, during the year 1892 were $20,041,495 less than in 1890, and that much more home market was given to our farmers. The prices of farm products have increased since the passage of the tariff act of 1890 by 18.67 per cent. But the calamityite still persists in preaching depression to the farmer. The appropriations by the first session of the 52d congress, with a Democratic majority of 147, were $44,000,000 greater than those of the first session of the 51st ('Republican) congress. Still you can hear the clarion voice of our Geo. W. Cooper preaching economy and denouncing Republican extravagance. Is it the loaves and fishes that George is reaching after, or is is it just for the opportunity to rip some other public official, as he did Gen. Raum? The papers have been signed for the construction of a large tin-plate mill at Atlanta, Hamilton county. Strange that capitalists will continue to put their money in these mills in defiance of Democratic protest and the oft-repeated assertion that “we. can’t make tin.” That party has put in so many “can’ts” in the last thirty years that the educated, thinking man no longer has any confidence in it. They began it in 1861 with “you can’t whip the South;” “you can’t make greenbacks; it is unconstitutional;” “you can’t free the niggers;” “you can’t pay the war debt;” “you can’t resume specie payment.” They oppose a protective system because it is unconstitutional. It once took the brain of a Jefferson, a Webster or a Jackson to expound the Constitution, but now any little one-horse Democrat lawyer feels himself competent to construe it. It is a significant fact that Republicanism is not losing its hold upon the young men of our colleges. Those who attend these institutions of learning are the best of our young people, and it is their business to investigate thoroughly all these questions connected with political economy. A poll of the votes in Franklin College showed that the Republicans this year number sixty-three, the Prohibitionists about thirty-five, while the Democrats bring up the rear with about twenty votes. The condition of affairs in Earlham College is shown in the following from the Indianapolis Journal: “Earlham opens this year with a strong Republican majority prevailing among the students. * * * The Democratic element is almost a mere cipher, and were it not for the meagre Prohibition and mugwump vote, Earlham could be justly proud of her ballot in 1882.” Gol. John S. Williams, editor of the Lafayette Times, a Democratic paper, has this to say in regard to the lying, free-trade papers that are trying to heap infamy upon the head of Governor Chase: Democrat papers are publishing a blasphemous speech said to have been delivered by Gov. Chase at Union City last spring. The Times does not believe a word of it. The Governor is not a fool.” The first thing the colonel knows he will be read out of the party. Integrity is no part of the free-trade creed. Pock, of New York, has learned that to stand in with the faithful a man must not only be a knave, but a perjurer and a falsifier of public records. It is to be regretted that a great party that can boast of such lights as Jefferson and Jackson would ever become so debased as to resort to the lying methods now indulged in to win elections. The infant son of Frank Reed died at the family residence, three miles west of Hope, last Friday morning, at 8 o’clock, aged 13 months. The funeral was held Sunday morning at 10 o’clock and was preached by Rev. Harvey Harris. The remains were interred in the Moravian cemetery. Philip Spaugh, funeral director.
