They hold that taxation enriches the people; that cheap blankets an a cursrand cheap whisky a blessing. "_ It is said in favor of Logan’s cantiiideicy that every relative of his family i* already provided for bv the Government through his influence, and lire can do no more in that direction if made President. Johjt Kelly has washed otPTis war paint, stuck olive branches where his warlike plumes used to wave, and announced that he is tired of lighting nridvwill support the nominee, whoever is nominated, v 1 J' . ’ r The Logansport Pharos well says that a system of taxation- that stakes tha earnings of oflr citizens to build np*1he business of anot her is a vicious system. This is the object and purpose of a high protective tariff. Tmc Springfield Republicsti, voicing the semnneu s of a great many New Kngland Republicans, declares “a third^norof nation will be a necessity of tn situation- if the Republicans nominate Blaine and the Democrats Payne." • Harper's Weekly sums up as follows the reasons for Blaine's iuabilitj to carry New York: (I) The railway disclosures. (2) Fear of a restltssi ftircign policy. (3) His opposition tt administrative reform. (4) He in, j p ronouiicedtprotectiohist. No man who is weak-kneed upoi the subject of tariff reform canTrill} represout Indiana in the Democratii National Convention, and the Demo erats of the Slate should see to it tha no delegate is selected who is bo an out-spoken and pronounced tairii -.reformer._ The Pennsylvania Democrats i iu Pennsylvania Republicans alike be lieve in cheap whisky jmd dear bl in l ets. There are, however, a‘grea many peoplo throughout the coubi vviio prefer cheap blankets, cheap s * heap sugar and cheap ncces generally to cheap whisky. T'nt Democrats of Connecticut, h the pluck of tlieir principles. T : lvoldly insert Iu tlieir tall for a S < Convention to sill who arc “opjKi to a war tariff in time of peace, wbleh the people are plundered." is a pity there are not more verleb Bemoerats hi the country.
