THE national election bill so violently opposed by the democrats, is nrere- ly a bill providing for straight elec- tons at all voting places in tho United States. It is a bill that interferes with the rights or liberties of no man. No honest man can find in it any oppression or coercion. The democrats all but admit their dishonest eluc Lions when they oppose this bill.

HARDIE HATS. 4' EDITOR OF REPUBLICAN: The appearance in last weed's Democrat of an article from one who is evidently driven to the last ditch of free trade, and to one of whose previous articles reference was maae in this paper at tho time, and as t-his letter contains nothing which merits any lengthy consideration, we shall merely lightly skim over the phrases which he presents. A sufficient answer to the lirst question is that the figures, the assertions and the deductions of Thomas G. (Shearman, a corporation attorney of New York City, are accepted by no one aa accurate or reliable without investigation, as tie is an agent of importers and is famous througout the east for the skillful manner in which he facts and figures; be is also one of those who were concerned so disreputably in the New York, Lake Western Junket some years ago. Of course anyone can see that his statements in regard to fortunes built up under protection must be mere guess-work and the sheerest non.scnse unsupported by the least authority.

Anyone who will peruse the first part of our argument in tlie RE- Pl'HUCAN of July 10, will readily perceive that our rsply to Shearman's list of fortmves has not been tinder mined in the slighest, in fact no attempt has been made to answer it by this correspondent of the Democrat. Let anyone look over Shearman's estimate, however, and bo will perceive that even under the manipulations of this partisan, all the great fortunes of this country has been attained outside of lines of business protected by the tariff. A considerable amount of space is to the "free trade" views of Mr. Blaine, which illustrates again the lack of candor and fairness by tbe democrats when discussing anything. one line can be produced from his reciprocity letter to Senator show that be desires anything approaching 1 free trade.

What be desires is rocipiocity in hides, cocoa, ainrar, coffee, rubber, not one of which can bo pro seven-eighths which articles, in accordance with tho policy of strictest protection, are on the list today. It will be only necessary present the following linn from letter to the Maine Senator in relation to the assertion regarding tho excessive profits of protected maniit'acl nrcrs: "You and 1 well know that this is not true." JAMKSG. BLAINIS, July 11, 1890. Mr. lllaine's statement in regard to the new martlets opened np for wheat, of course retVrs to foreign market and not to the home market.

He meant and clearly wished to bo understood as saying that the McKinley bill did not have reciprocity appendix providing in so many' words for thb opening of new markets for cereals, and of course no new foieign market can bo opened up except through a reciprocity in trade. That Mr. lilaini) has ever proposed or ever will propose to sacrifice one specK of the home market, one pound of wool, one ounce of cotton, or one pennyweight of he has ever proposed to sacrifice any of this to reciprocity with foieign paupers or with foreign millionaires, is a Me so black, so gross, ao contemptibly false and BO ineffably and democratically meau.tbat it could have its origin only in the rotten eat despicable aud most decayed with tlie modern de- mocracyof today. That quotation which is given from Robert G. I ngersoll, is one so old, so moss-covered and so antiquated, that it must recall the memories of years ago to all acquainted with the true circumstances of the case, while the latest utterance on the tarifl of Ilobert G.

Ingersoll which 1ms been given publicly, was made at the Metropolitan Opera House at New York some time ago, when he said: '-Protection to American labor; 1 will tell you why I am in favor of it. I want this republic substantially independent of the rest of the world, If England gets her goods in- here free she will soon be the richest empire on the globe, ar.d we shall become nobodies." Another quotation from Ingersoll is tlie following: "We have taken the foreigners from the almshouse and we have turned their rags into robes; we have transferred their hovels and huts into palaces; out of their paupers we have made patriotic, splendid men." The Democrat correspondent says of the farmer: "Is not his wheat brought into competition with the products of India?" You are right; it is, and this is just what must logically be expected when the markets of the world are sought competition with foreign paupers. Tlie reliance of the farmers is in the home market.wbere this ruinous competition with foreigners does not exist. Why are not the prices of corn, rye, determined by Liverpool and foreign competition? The answer is.that, the farmers in the case of wheat have given the doctrine of the democrats a trial, and have had a large export trade to the "world's markets," 27.P per cent, of the total production being exported in 1880, and to their sorrow today they find that according to the adnission which has been forced from the democratic party, the world's market policy advocated by tl'cm has caused the farmers at last to look to Liverpool for a market price, not only for that wheat exported, but that consumed at home also, so the Democrat admits that in obtaining a foreign market the farmer loses all the benefits of the home market. The export ot corn is only 1.0 per of oats two-tenths of one per of rye 1.5 per cent- and of bar ley 2.2 per cent, and the reliance on the foreign market for prices for these cereals is entirely wan tine.

One or two assertions irrelevant to the case appear in the correspondent's letter, but which we shall at some other time be glad to discuss with him if be wishes. In regard to having "completely quelched niy previous assertions," as the correspondent jokingly says, we will say that although we fully Intended to a reply, notwithstanding that the article did not make a very great impression upon HS for logic, the paper in which it appeared was lost when we came to look for it to reply, we will, however, reply to as much we remember of it. The. assertion that the republicans owe their present majority in Con- dress to their policy of unseating democratic members who of course, no one doubts, were fraudulently elected, does not dispose of the fact that counting members as originally declared elected tlm republicans bad a majority of Sin the House, which shows the astonishing decadence of sentiment for "tariff reform" of from 40 democratic majority in 188(5 and 15 in 1SSS to 8 minority in 1890. History shows that all causes which have triumphed in the end, although their progress may have been exceedingly slow at times, have never lost ground once obtained in a righteous cause.

If the tremendeous majorities of Laird in pfebraska, Keyburn in Pennsylvania and Herman in Oregon, great national examples, the like of which tbfc democrats cannot produce on their side, show "sentiment for tariff reform" we must conclude it usually ends in mere "sentiment." The The democratic platform, with two exceptions, in the last 35 years, cannot bo produced which did not explicitly and undeniably declare for British free trade. "We never beard of any agricultural depression between 1871 and 1879, and certainly no such condition ia recognized by any standard economic authority, and if having cereals and farm valves at an average piice of over 40 per cent, higher than from 1846 to 1891, and wheat selling at 57 cents in 1857, as compared with $1.08 in 1877 is a sample of this depression, it must have been of an unusual variety. Please explain about it. In conclusion we will say this for the benefit of the farmers, and we hope they will July consider it and carefully weigh it against what is presented by our free trade opponents. In spite of continued and continual evasion and beating around the bush on the part of our opponents, these foundation facts still shine clearly and luminously forth, undimmed, untouched and invincible: 1.

Never in the most gloomy period of American agriculture during the last decado, has there been a time when the American farmer was not 25 per cent, better off than he was under the reduced tariff of 35 years ago. 2. The recent depression of agriculture was not confined to protected America, vile partisans try to make people believe, but exerted its most appalling and distressing influences upon the farmers of Europe and free trade England. 8. The American farmer is the peer of the farmers of all the world in 1890.

in point of comfort, style of living, intelligence and all tbat goes to make life worth living. 4. The democrats are unable to even begin to prove it true that the low prices prevailing for farm products awhile ago were caused by the tariff. If the tarifl caused the low prices, why not tbe higb ones. 5.

The large profits of Amercan manufacturers at the expense of west- tern farmers exist only in the warped and distorted imaginations of free trade partisans. Yours, against Harmful Humbugs. G.A. W. C.
