BONSLETT, A STOFFEL West McHenry, 111., March 34,1834. Piano Minneapolis £ M Owen & Son'ft« Self Binder, at The Times:--Present* Past and Future* EDITOR PLAIN DEALER :--Tli ere fre­ quently is. previous to our Presidential •lections, a stiftngeticy In the money market, and geqSra) business i« dull and languishing. T§hf8 state of things Is caused largely through fear of a change of political parties and radical changes in the tariffs, r<#enuea and finances of Government. This feeling of uncer- talnty among ci|»!ta]i6ts as to the 'price of products and the financial future, causes them to be very shy and cautious lest they proceed or enter Into a busi­ ness that will re|ult In loss. Many, there fere, prefer to stop nianu facturing or other business enterprises rather than hazajh] their moraey in an industry which |toay bring to them serious financial fl«aster. Tho position taken by the Democratic party on the tariff question at the last session ol Congress, and the|r present attitude on this question, hae filled the minds of many of our people with fear, lest the party--should it j|et the power --go to work and so retltfte the tarift on Im­ ports as to greatly cripple, if not wholly destroy our home manufactures, and produce great suffering andtlistress among the laboring and dependent people of our laii^. It seems that nrilny of the industrial classes--the laborers of our country- are becoming f|Hy aroused on this great question, aim have resolved to no longer follow in t|e Democratic wake, but wheel into lini» in the Republican column and march with it again to victory. | Should this Dedtocratic party--con irelled by secessionists--again get the supreme power in%ur land we have good reason to look for the same state of things which existed when It last held the reins of Government. We then had a low "tiMf) for revenue" and farmers had a very low price for th«ir products; while, folt articles of manu­ facture, we had to pay about fifty per cent, more than we do now. Our manufactured goodft came chiefly from abroad, while wv produced the raw materials from whf$(t they were made. We then shipped cotton from our Southern fields to England to be manu­ factured there ani returued to us in the fabric, while ftiia wearer ot the goods paid for the shipping both ways. Great Britain hqj^.thc power, with Iqa? er'ce minions, to crush out our manufactur­ ing establishments unless we so reduce wagei here as to correspond with th« starving rates paid there. This, the Republican party is opposed to, and makes issue with the Democracy on that point; and it is one of the main issues in this campaign. The question !s: Shall our manufacturing industries be destroyed, and the laborers therein be thrown out of employment, to be­ come tramps and beggars in the laud,, or to overrun the field of agriculture and reduce the price of the farmers' products to ruinous rates? Or shall we continue in power the party that has protected home labor and home manu­ factures; that has opened the gates of employment to all who desire, in near­ ly every branch of honest industry? The writer was of ail age te remem­ ber the condition of things in the years when the Democracy had control of the Government. Fanners then sold good wheat in Chicago and other lake markets for 30 cents per bushel. Corn sold here for 20 cents, and oats for 10 cents, while dressed pork brought only 92.50 per hundred. Do farmers desire a return to these prices? But this is not a I, While farm products were ruin ously low, articles we had to buy were very high. Calicoes which then sold for 12} cents per yard can now be bought for 8 cents, and in sheetings and shirtings there Is thesame reduc­ tion, and about the same decrease of 50 percent, in woolen goods. This ad­ vance in the price of the farmers' products and reduction in the value of manufactured articles Is wholly due to the policy of Protection to our Home Industries, adopted and carried out by the great Republican party of the nation. Not only In this matter ol protection to home labor and home in­ dustries is the Republican party en­ titled to great credit, but for giving to us the best circulating medium the world has ever knowu. Now we have gold, silver, greenbacks and National Bank notes, all on a par and freely ex­ changeable the one for the other. Now money is drawing from 6 to 8 per cent. In this western country, when in Dem ecratic times it readily commanded 25 pet cent, interest. At the time of the Government land sale of this section of country, a settler 3n lands was fortu­ nate if he borrowed money to pay for his land for anything less than to double in four years! These were times when farmers here used parched corn and peas and barley for cofiee. They were "good old Democratic times!" But this is not all. What little money wo then had was not sound. It had not the Government, as now, to back it. The banks were chartered by the State or run as private enterprises. Corporate companies established bank­ ing institutions, and great frauds were practiced by them to rob the people. A number of corporations would club together aud run ' their coin reserve from one bank to another in advance of- the commissioners, appointed by the State to count tbe redemption coin in each bank. For instance the commis­ sioners would examine tho coin In the banK at Woodstock and then by an un­ derstanding with the banker, allow him to run his coin to Harvard before the commissioners arrived there, and the same money would be a^aln count­ ed as the rsdemptiou fund of the bank, and so on to the end of the chapter. The consequence was that no man was safe to hold a dollar of paper money over night. Bills considered good to­ day became worthless to-morrow. Do the peoplo desire a return to such times? If they do, all that is necessary^ Is to vote for Cleveland and Hendricks and Carter Harrison. v ou> SF.Ttta*. " t&levnland a "Sham iteformer.** - At a recent meeting of the Executive Committee or the Young-Men's Re­ publican Club of the City of New York a sub-committee, composed of Gilbert R. Hawes. James 8. Hehmair and James P. Foster, was appointed to investigate the public career and record of Grover Cleveland," and report thereon. That report was made Saturday, and was unanimously adoptee'. It says; How lias Governor Cleveland rewarded the confidence so reposed in him by Inde­ pendent voters? After a thorough and searching examination of his course as Executive of the State, and after care­ ful scrutiny of the public measures ap­ proved and disapproved by him in that capacity, together with the reasons assigned by him for such action, your sub committee has beeu constrained to conclude that, although Governor Cleve­ land has given his executive sanction to certain reformatory measures of considerable public importance, yet his fuilure'to approve of other measures of still greater and more lar-reaching in­ terest when presented to him In the form of actual legislation, together with the unsatisfactory and often flimsy reasons given in explanation of his course, as well as his approvaj of cer­ tain measures not only questionable, but, in the opinion of your ^ub com­ mittee. actually pernicious, prove clear­ ly and unmistakably that he has not always been governed by a purpose single to the rights of the people, but has frequently permitted the pressure of politicians and the desire to advance his own political fortunes te triumph over the interests of reform. The Albany Journal prints from the record a plain and truthful statement showing the low estimate in which Grover Cleveland, from the time he sent a substitute to the War until now. lias held the veteran soldier of the Union. It Is a statement that will amaze every friend of the soldier aud every lover of his country's honor. A Peace Democrat when the country was Imperilled by rebellion, Grover Cleve­ land has been anything hut the soldiers friend ever since. As Mayor of Buflalo he declined to sign a bill making a" appropriation for the beautiful cere­ monies of MemoHai Day. As Governor lie has repeatedly vetoed bills the passage of which was petitioned for by all the Grand Army Posts of the State, aud winch were enacted by the unani­ mous votes of the members of the Legislature, compilsing Democrats as well as Republicans. About the. only soldiers1 bills he approved were tlnse which amended bills that had been signed by other Governors, and he hesitated to sign even spme of the amended acts. Every soldier who reads from the record will appreciate the feeling with which Gov. Cleveland regards hi in. The record of Mr. Hen­ dricks as a Copperhead and a friend of the South Is well known. Grover Cleveland as a Union soldier hater well deserves a place beside Mr. Hendricks. The Way to Invite Hard Times. If workiugmen, farmers or others complain of dull times, they should re­ flect upon one of Its great causes--the existence of a Democratic majority in Congress, and the manifest disposition of the Democratic party te strike a deadly blow at American manufactur­ ing and Industry by adopting a free trade or "revenue only" tarift. Men hesitate to launch out in business en­ terprises which may by the cutting down of the tariff lead to sudden ruin. No lumbering, mining or ma^ifactur- ing firms dare push their business, but are rather forced to retrench, because the protection aflorded by the tariff Is threatened. If the people elect another Democratic Congress next November, it would be a warning to every busineas employing workin^men to stand from under, as free trade would be comirg; aud the result would (.robably be harder times than were ever before known in this country. Every vote cast for a Democratic nominee for Con­ gress this year will be a vote to invite hard times. ISreat Russian Remedy.

Says the New York Tribune: Do the workingmen of this country want British wages? If so. they can vote for Cleveland and British free-trade. In cotton mills the average wages paid weekly In Great Britain are $4.66, In Massachusetts 96.45. Take woolen manufacture next. The average paid iu Great Britain is 94.79, in Massachusetts 96.92. In the working of metals, wages paid in Great Britain average $7.40: in Massachusetts $11.25. In machinery and foundries, wages paid in Great Britain $6.49; in Massachusetts $11.75- In glass works, the average paid in Great Britain #6 94; in Massachussetts $12.28. In printing average in Great Britain $5.52; in Massachusetts $11 37. • In boots and shoes, the average in Great Britain $4.37; in Massachusetts $11.63; increases 166 p»r cent. These are fair illustrations of the di fie re nee in wages in manufacture. But fully one-half the libor of this country is employed iu agriculture. In that branch, according; to Sir James Cairp's latest statement, the average In Great Britain, even in the most favored counties, was about $12 monthly, without board; in the south ern counties the average was less than $9. But in the United States, accord­ ing to the report of the Agricultural Bure.vi, the average wages paid to agricultural laborers per month, with­ out board, were $18.58. Ktlmunili and Blaine, The Democrats have taken gk*&t eom- fort In and are circulating with great Industry a story about Senator Ed­ munds charging that Blaine acted as attorney for Jay Gould. I^Ir, Edmunds now declares that he never said, nor even thought, any such thing and that lie intends to vole for Blaine in No­ vember. No donbt Democratic news­ papers and orators will continue to repeat the original |je< |„ Spite nf Senator Edmunds' denial. That is Democratic tactics. When they invent a story for campaign purposes, they hold that it Is but a proper enonomy of material to use it during the 'entire campaign, denial or no denial. We may expect, ther fore. that this Jay Gould story will C3ntiuue to do service during the campaign, along with the Kemble check fabrication, the slorv of the dozen other pure lies which Mr. Blaine's enemies have put into circula­ tion with the hope of doing him an Injury. L. Protection and Irlah-AmeruMtna* The magnificent results of a quarter of a century ol the protectionist policy in Ainerica'have produced their full impression on the minds of Irishmen botli here and iu Ireland. They see that the policy cripples England with­ out fighting her, pricks the inflated egotism of her economic self-sufficiency, ami while improving the condition of working men in America, promotes a rapidity of production here which causes the transfer to America of all of the 1 r Irish friends who are not content at heme, aud virtually stops the pay­ ment of rent for those who prefer to stay. They see a form of Industrial conquest, gradual but inexorable, going on year by year, in which the Ameri­ cans, including Irish-Americans, with, out any invasion are playing the Nor­ man. and in which the Saxon is being driven to the wall. They can best forward this conquest by voting" with the Republican party. For all this •node of campaign ;igalnst England- has been Republican.--Inter Ocean. The Republican national com mittee intends to "carry the war into Africa." ^^raucli headquarters of the committee will be opened this week in Nashville, Tennessee, and a vigorous campaign will be made henceforth in that State aud in North Carolina, Vir­ ginia, Mississippi, Louisiana and Flor­ ida. The determination to open south eru headquarters lias been encouraged by requests from Democrats from that section, who are attracted to the Re­ publican party by its protective tariff principles, and to Mr. Blaine by his statesmanship and representative Americanism. Northern speakers will go into the Southern States and docu­ ments will be distributed from the Nashville branch of the national com­ mittee. The effort to break the solid south will be made with a purpose to succeed. Another Pemocratlc Lie, We are informed by responsible parties that in some sections of the country the Democratic party are In­ sisting that there is a duty on tea and coflee, imposed by the Republican party. It seems absurd fliat such a story should be circulated or believed, but it evidently is. The only excuse for such opaque ignorance is that tea* coffee, cocoa, etc., are all heavily taxed in Free trade England; and, as the average Free-trade orator is more imbude with British ideas than Ameri­ can, he may have confused the policies of the two countries. The duty on tea and coffee <vas repealed by congress iu 1872, by the Republican party, because it was a duty that was most irksome to the wage-earning class. Under Draining. From an Addrest by President Pratt, Of Oe jpb- consin Agricultural Society. The first and mcst direct effect is thti removal of surplus water from the soil. The presence of this water in wet sea­ sons, and especially in heavy soils, is ft most serious hindrance to the growth of vegetation; with the water line lew. ered. you may expect a full crop, when otherwise you would have a very small . return. AH good influences stop at the water line; all follow and are effective as this line is lowered, Under-drained soils are alike by the drouths of Sum­ mer and the frosts of Winter, rendered friable and porous for the entrance of the atmosphere with all Its life-giving influences, and Tor the penetration of the roots of plants in search of nouris!i~ ment. Air does not go below the water line. Heat descends very slowly through water. In the Spring the fee­ ble rays of the sun can scarcely peoe* trate our undralned soils, and cultiva­ tion Is long delayed. But drained sells are „ porous and dry, and warm, and weeks of additional growth is gained by the cultivatnr. From its friable nature, the soil is more easily tilled. The rains, instead of carrying off the elements of fertility from the surface by flowing in channels, percolate through the open soil, carrying with them carbouic acid and ammonia to be appropriated by the roots of plants, or to be stored In the soil. Again the porosity ol the soil being thus secured, the excess of heat in period- of drouth passes off during Hie* Summer nights, and the air eutering parts with it* moisture to the soil, and the severity;, of the droutli is always lessened. So we find that under drained soils are drier in wet season?, and more supplied with moisture in dry seasons than similar soils not thus drained. ^ WaSTMr. Blaine ap'ly epitomised Hie Republican platform and priu?ip|es in ids brief speech at Rochester, on the 25th, inst. iu response to the greetings of the immense throng present, he said: "I am sure that no desire to offer* personal compliment to any living m«tt could have brought this vasi audience together, and 1 have not the vanity to accpt it as offered to myseli individual* ly. It is rather the expression by this great assemblage of the people of Western New York of their confidence in those principles which have brought pro|| |my jto our of the examples and illustrations of that prosperity. The Republican parts' embodies lj Its creed four distinct snd important doctrines: First, peace 1vith the whole world; second, com. Inercial expansion in every practicable direction; third, encouragement of every form of American industry; [enthusiast le applause] fourth, prelec­ tion r0 every citizen, native or natur d- ized at home aud abroad. [Renewed applause] Under these policies the Republican party tries to conduct the Government; under these principle* the Republican party submits itself to the judgment of the American people; on tiiis principle we conquer, or on these aie conquered. I thank yott gentlemen; 1 thank you from the bot* torn of my heart for whatever in this splendid ovation is personal to myself;, but I ask your att- ntion with espechU , emphasis to the importance of those positions to which I have so briefly, adverted. To the latest hour of tnjr lite 1 can never forget this brilliant scene, nor can I mistake its wide signl- ^ flcance." ; -5 8@rGeneral Thomas Ewing, of Ohio, is so thoroughly disgusted with the oul* rageous aud mcndacious character of; the Democratic campaign that lie re­ fuses to take any part in it. In ag interview in the Chicago Tribune he says: "I shall not take any part In the canvass because of its extremely and : outrnsceously personal character and, becuuse of my life-long friendship for i Blaine, I know him to be thoroughly true In all the relations of life, public and private, and would not be willing to address political meetings at which he is constantly and savagely denoun- : ced, without paying my persona! trf* bute to his public and private virtues."
