A thing no free trade country has ever thought of do­ ing.1' And yet npon this policy which' bar made the country "great and prosper­ ous' President Cleveland and the Democratic party are waging fierce and incessant war! They would wipe It out root and branch, and in Its place substitute the British policy of free trade, with its accompanying cheap labor, poverty, distress and iguorance! They ussail the champions of protec­ tion to American labor and industry aa though they were sj many robbers, and demand that our ports and mark­ ets be thrown open to the product* ol Cheap foreign labor. Will the working- people of (hit Country permit themselves to be de­ ceived by the arguments or frightened by the demands of these free traders? Wiil they vote to reduce their own wages to the standard that prevails In Europe,'and will they voluntarily re­ linquish the comforts, conveniences and privileges they now enjoy in or­ der that the experiment of free trade may be tried in the United States? The answers to these questions will be recorded at, the ballot boxes throughout the land next November, and unless there shall be a vast change in public sentiment before that time they will be overwhelmingly in the negative.

At Oswego, eleven of twelve St. John yetera of four yeara ago will vote for Harriaon. t&*Tb Detroit Tribune aaya that the Presidents letter of acceptance Is a campaign document bearing the im­ print of a thoroughly alarmed candi­ date, filled with pepper dust to blind the eyea ef voters, aaturated with egotism, and burning with an anxloua deslrfe to have the people rate Its an thor much above hia generality esti­ mated worth. flS^In the last State election lu l886 tbe Republican plurality in Maine waa 19,649; at the recent State election tbe plurality waa 18,486. Gain In two yeara 5,976. At Presidential elec- tloaatbat State invariably increases Its Republican majorities largely, and will ao deubt do so thia year. Will aome honest Democrat tell us what Is the oae of lying about Maine? They •aa sot change a vote by it. iVlllinoia elected John Taaner 8UH Treasurer In 1S86 by a plurality Of 36.816, being an increase of 10.698 •m Blaine's plurality for Preaident ia MM, With theee figures aa a basis, let the Democratic politicians get out tbair slate-pencils and figure out tbe probable result in this State, next November, remembering meantime that Illinois ia and alwaya baa been peeoliariy a progreaaive State*--Jour­ nal. 19*In tbe face of the hundreda of thousanda of uncounted votea caat by the oolored men of the South it ia tbe acme of audacity for Cleveland to say in hie letter of acceptance that the Democratic party favors giving the oolored man all of hia rlghta. If tbe colored voters of the South bad not been deprived of their rights Cleve land would never have been President, and the Maolid Sooth" would have been unheard of. Mm •^Cleveland and hia supporters Should try and agree aa to what they •re to aay to the public on tbe chief laane. Here for Instance, ia tbe New York Times Baying: "Nobody teaches that the full amount of the duty is added to the price of the protected domestic product." And here Is Cleveland saying in hi* letter of acceptance: IL*'I auppose It is needless to explai that all these duties and assessments are added to the price of the articles upon which they are levied.* Or does the Times mean to clasa Mr. Cleveland aa nobody. Why He Oon't More. Mr. John Wanamtker, one of Phila­ delphia's leading merchants, was in­ terviewed by a reporter of The Press of that city, and s aid: One of tbe beat known manufactur­ ers of Great Britain, an old and very able business man and a member of Parliament, said to me when visiting this country some months ago: "Give us some special orders; we have not been able for a long time to run all our looms for you and make any special - ties you wish,'and confine the goods selely to your house/' Why don't you run all your machin­ ery ?" I asked. •'Your confounded protection is our trouble,'" he answered. "Well, then, pull up stakes and move one of your large factories over here ? America would welcome such an in­ dustry as yours." The very wise and prompt reply of the British legislator and manufact­ urer was: "If you can guarantee that protection will remain as it now is we will move our works over here im­ mediately-- Ah, then," said Mr. Wanamaker 'When you have your looma and works In Europe yon are opposed to protec­ tion, bnt if you moved over here you would insist upon having it. Harrison's man] haa been excee4taglir well hieelved. Notliiog but praise la beiiNl'for it. It la one of the strongest docttOBVnts of its kind ever written, and wonld have given General Harri­ son a .reputation for statesmanship bad he not already possessed It. It ia in marked contrast to the dodgiog. apologetic letter of Cleveland, which advocatea both protection and free trade. There ia no straddling abeut Harrison's letter, He Ltts opinions, and expreases them in straightforward language upon every question of Im­ portance now before tbe public. Many Democrats acknowledge that the ley ter as a st-ate d<>eumen t ia far super lot­ to Cleveland's.

Watch nsj« Remember us I Tf-• v?r * *QP*The Democrats in Congress are badly demoralized over the returns from the Maine election. They had calculated that Cleveland's retaliation message would gain his party many votes in that State, but the returns show that the gallant Republicans of Maine, under the brilliant leadership of Mr. Blaine, have mads gains upon their remarkable plurality of 1884. The result shows two things that tbe Democrats do not like: first, that the tide of public opinion is setting strong ly against Cleveland and free trade; secondly, that Mr. Blaine Is working heart and soul- for the election of Har­ rison and Morton. The Democratic leaders already see the shadow of na­ tional defeat, consg^^ntly they are deep in the slou^h ot despondent ;*• Most Decidedly Tliey Shall. Warner Miuer, the next governor of New York, afid "Joe" Flfer, the next governor of Illinois, both served In the Union army aa privates. The boys who carried the muskets went to the army witho it West Point commissions or any other prospect. of brilliant preferment, but J>e3ause they loved their country.

In his letter of acceptance the subject is dismissed in a six line paragraph. W. Dudley, treasurer of the Republican National Committee, baa been carefully examining the condition of thlnga politically in New York and aays: "The outlook is en- oeuraging beyond all expectation.

September 13.--On the 19th ef August I wrote to the edi­ tor of the Chicago Times asking him to answer eight questions, which he entirely ignored. He probably couldn't answer them. In substance they were as follows: 1. If the protective tariff increases the coat of liying, why it ia that cloth­ ing (excepting Engliah broadcloths) is as cheap in Chicago as it la in Lon­ don ? 2. How ia It that calico Bella for 6 cents per yard when there Is a tariff of centa per yard levied on cotten goods? If the tariff were added it would make tbe selling price 11 cents 3. Please explain away tbe sur­ prisingly low price of steel naila, aalt, etc. 4. If laborera In England and other countriea are doing bo well, why do they emigrate to tbe United States? 5. Why is it that Grover Cleveland and his band of free-traders are so highly extolledjtnd esteemed in Eng­ land? Why is the Republican party of tbe United States hated In England? 7. How was It that free-trade Ad­ ministrations left the United States in bankruptcy and distress in 1861? 8. Why la it that under protection we are the beat-clothed, beat-housed best-fed, best-educated and happiest people under the sun? I challenge any of the free-trade "tariff reformers" to answer these questions to tbe aatisfaction of any thinking American citizen. It seems to me that tbs Western farmers should every one vote for pro­ tection. Our farmers cannot keep up fences and taxes and compete with heathen lands pay lBg no taxea. Our American marketB should be for our American tax-payers. Our markets in the United States are certainly good markets, or else there would not be such a commotion about them. Raw, materials coming Into tbe United States free of tax would be a heavy blow to our farmers. When a Western farmer butchers a fat steer, be sella the hide and tallow for a good price, and the laborera In iron and steel manufacturing establishments are large buyers of beef te nourish their bodies and enable them to stand their exhausting labor; but If beef, mutton, tallow, hides and wool are to be imported free, our farmers will be obliged to take a back seat. Tbe far­ mer can better afford to pay some tax on English and French brandies than te sell bis cows for $6 per head, as in ye olden Democratic free-trade times. Boys, this ia a Republican year, and don't you forget it! JOHXW. Balch. LOANS MADE ON FARM LAND AND on time anc in amounts to11 J.W.BANSTEAD, Borden I!Ik, Elgin, 111. Executor's Notice* C. 1*.

No cuntomer shall ever feel that his or her account is too large and that there must be grave mistakes in it. or that he did not receive credit for all his payments; or that we are to© cranky or exacting when we ask for money on their accounts, which possibly may have run a year or more, with which to pay our own indebtedness or buy more goods.
