CKK- PROTECTION Tb Plaindeaier in last week s issuo oienly advocates Blaine's policy of a high protective taviii. On this question of high tax, waste mid extravagance there is no longer any -1Milit Tlio "Pr.c?!tmtiul rnr.litlfttPH declare for a high protective tarifl. Their party organs advocate it, not foi - the purpose of raising revenue but for the purpose of favoring private enter prises and creating privileged classes at . . . - - - . - the expense of the whole people. Up iutal in fliia rlv-1i-Jrtfi is tli Demo cratic party with a long line of 'tradi tions ; with tbo ruemoiuUe eouijntign of 1844, when the farmers of America under the leadership f Jamas K. Polk defeated the pernicious doctrine of class protection and laid the gifted and talented Henry Clay on the shelf as a Pres;dential candidate. The Democratic platform declares in emphatic terms that no more' money shall be taken from the pockets of the Dconle and withdrawn from circulation than is necessary for the support jf the Government economically ad ruin is i tered. j Farmers, von. who feel the j hard times and want of monev in this year of good crops be not deceived as to the cause of our financial troubles. Po litical economy teaches and experience demonstiates the danger of the protec tive theory. Blaine has declared this to be the issue, ind like Clay let Ins ambition perish by the dangerousveapon against equal rights which he has taken in his own Lands. Blaine a Monopolist. r When the Thurman Bill was pend ing before tho United States Senate to compel the Union and Central Rail roads to pay the government the interest due on their bonds, up lumped James G. Blaine from behind the breast-works of the lobby of Gould, Huntington, Dillon, &c. armed with an amendment in order to kill the bill. Gould, Dorsey and Stanley Mathews used all their power to - forco it through the Senato. j Of the amendment Senator Thur man sayr : "It was plain to me that Blaine desired to kill the bill. It is not for roe to say what his motive was, or if any improper influences control led him. But it is for the; people to judge." ! Dorsev has wealth. j Stanley Ma'thews holds a seat on the Supreme Court bench by the grace and greenbacks of Gould and Huntington Blaine is the Republican Presiden tial candichte, and Jay Gould gives liim $100,0CO to aid him in purchasing Ohio. But the - corruptions which have stained the past sink into insignifi cance when com'pared with the dangers K hich threaten the tu tare. "I do fear," says Sir. Thurman "that if the Republican part? retains power the Pacific railroad companies will evade payment ef their indebted ness to the government, and, under ' legislative protection, build up the worst railroad monopoly everr known in this country." The Blaine cry of 'Tariff I" as the New York Herald savp, seeks only to avoid the real issue of the canvass, wkich is whether a party which has shamefully and wilfully overtaxed the people in order te furnish the lobby with plunder, and which has failed to punish star route, navy and other jobbers, ougnt to be. continued In power When the voters see a man with Mr. Blaine'a antecedents, a man" who pub licly received a testimonial from the "king of the lobby" while he wa,s Speaker, now supported by every star route, navy and other jobber in the country, they have this real question plainly presented to them. Whoever wants honest and economical govern ment, no surplus taxes and no plunder ing lobby, must vote against the Blaino ticket and for Governor Cleve land, whose admin'stration of the State Las proved that he is the cour ageous enemy of public plunders of all kinds. A Republican journal has a great deal to say about "true blue Republi cans." Tho time to see true blue Re publicans will be after tbo election. TILDEH'S LETfEK. New Yoke, October 7. The follow- ing is Mr. Tildcn's reply to the resolu tions of support and confidence adopted by the iNatiocal Democratic Conven tion and presented to him by a com mittee from that body : Gratstoxe, October 6, 1884. The Special committee of the. Demo cratic National Convention : I thank you for the kind terms in which you have communicated resolutions con cerning me, adopted ! by the Demociatb National Convention. I share your convictions, that reform in. the tfdmiriis" tratiorj of the Federal Government, whichjis our great national want, and is indeed essential to the restoration and preservation of the Government itself, can only be achieved through the agency of the Democratic party, and bv installing its representatives in the chief magistracy of the United States, The noble historical traditions of the Democratic party ; th ; principles in whichlit was educated and to which it has ever been, in the main, faithful j its freedom from the corrupt influences which grow up in the prolongued pos session of power, and the nature of the elements which constitute it, all con tribute to qualify it for that mission The opposite characteristics and con dition which attach to the Republican party; make it hopeless to expect that that party will be able in give a better Government than THE DEBASING SYSTEM OF ABUSES, Which, during its ascendency, has in fected political life in this country. The Democratic party had its origin in the efforts of the more advanced patri ots of the Revolution to resist the per version cf our Government from the ideal contemplated by the people Among its conspicuous founders are Benjnnian Franklin and Taomas Jef ferson ; Samuel Adams and John Han cock; of Massachusetts; George Clin ton aod Robert R. Livingston f New York, and, Gecrge W the and James Madison of Virginia; and from the ejection of Mr. Jefferson as Presi dent in 1800, for sixty years the Demo cratic party mainly directed our nation al policy. It extended the boundaries of our republic and laid the foundation of alt our national greatness, while it preserved tho limitations imposed by tho j constitution and maintained simjile and pure system of domestic ad ministration. On the other hand; the i Republican party has always been dominated by principles which favor legislation for tne beneut of particular classes, at the expense of the body of the; people. It has become deeply tainted with the abuses which natural ly grow d tiring a long possession of un checked power, especially in a period of civil war. The patriotic and virtuous elements in it are now unable to eman cipate it from THE SWAY OF SELFISH INTKREST3, Which subordinate public duty to per sonal greed. The most hopeful of the best ciiizens it contains despair of its amendment except through its tempo rary expulsion from power. It has been boastingly asserted by a modern Massachusetts statesman, stru"r:rlin: to reconcile himself and his followers to their Presidential candidate, that the Republican party contains a dispro portionate share of the wealth, the cul ture and the intelligence of the country. The unprincipled Grafton, when taunt ed by James II with his personal want of i conscience, answered : "That is true ; but 1 belong to a party that has a great deal ot conscience." Such reasoners forget that the same claim has been made in" all ages and coun tries bv the defenders of old wrongs agains new reforms. It was alleged y the Tories of the American Revolution, against the patriots of that day ; it way repeated against Jefferson and af terward against Jackson, and it is so alleged by the conservatives against those who in England are now endeav oring to enlarge the popular suffrage. All history shows that reforms in Gov- errimens must not be expected from those who sit serenly on j THE SOCIAL MOCXTAIN TOP, f Enjoying the benefits of the existing order of things. Even the Divine an tler of our religion, found his follow ers not among the self-complacent Pharisees, but among the lowly-mind- fishermen. The Repuolican "party is largely made up of those who live by their wits and who aspire, in politics, to advantages of the rest of mankind' similar to those which their daily lives are devoted to securing in privace business. The Democratic party con sists largely of thos who live by the work of their hands and whose politi cal action is governed by their senti ments or imagination. It results then that the Democratic, more readily than the Republican party, can be moujded toj the support of reform measures, which involve a sacrifice of sefish inter- i mi 1- ' ' est. lne lnuispensaoiB necessity 01 ou'r times is a change of administration in! the great executive offices of the country. This, in my judgement, can only be accomplished by the election of tl e Democratic candidates for .Presi dent and Vice-President. Samuel J. Tildes, t The Popular Approval. Of the now famous Syrnp of Figs as the most efficacious bad agreeable preparation ever offered to the world as a cure for habit ual constipation, billioasness, indigestion and kindred ills, has been won by the wise plan pursued by the California Fig Syrup Company.

The New York Sun has by its own figures, lost about 69,000 in wetk- v circulation between July 14 ar.d - September 15. This is very sugges tive, when the course of the Sun of the present Presidential canvass is taken into consideration. Senator Slater speaks Monday night. ' DBM0UEATI0 PLATFORM. Th Dmnnrat party ot tho Union, through its representatives in National Conventijtr assembled, recognizes tliatasthe nation grow jolder new isauei are born of time and progress, and old Msue pensh, but the fundamental principles of Democracy, approved by the united voice of the people, remain, and w ill ever remain, us the bent and only security for the con inuance offiee government. The preservation of personal rights, trie equality ot all citizens before the law, the resrvea rijriits oi tne states, ana tne supre niacy of the Federal Government within the limits of the Constitution, will ever furni the true ba-ris of our liberties, andean never be surrendered without ile stroin that balance of rights and powers which en ables a continent to De developed in peace a:i social order to be maintained by means of lo&x sel:-govsrn- ment. But it is indispensable, for the practical applica tion ana euiorcenient ot tneso luniaiuental pnn ciples, that thu Government should not always be controlled by one political party. A frequent change of auniinistration is as necessary as tne constant re currence to the ponulir will; otherwise, ibuses crow. and the Government, instead of being carried on for the general well.ira, becomes an instrumentality forim posing heavy burdens on the many, who re governed for the benetit of the few who govern. Public ser vants thus become arbitrary rulers. This is now the condition of the country Uence a change u oc:iia'Ua.l. party, so far as principle is reminiscence; in practice, it tion for enrichhii' those who The Republican concerned, is is an onraniza control its ma- chinery. The frauds and jobbery which liave been brought to liht in every department of the Govern ment arc suthjient to have called for reform within the Uepubliean pArty; yet those in authority, made re'-'kleas by the long possession of power, have suc cumbed to its con uptinar influence, and have placed in nomination a ticket against which the independent portion of the party are m open revolt. Tnerefore a clv-inge is demanded. Such a chw;e was alike neces sity 111 187(i, but the will of the people w then de feated by a fraud, whii-h can never be forgotten nor condoned. gam m ISjO tho change demanded by the people was defeated by the lavish use of money, contributed by unscrupulous contractors and shame less Jobbers, who had harjiuined for unlawful profits, or for Im-h olrice. The Kermblican party, during its leapal, its stolen, and its bought tenures of power, ha steadily decayed in moral, character snd political capacity, its platform promises are now a list of its past failures. It demands the restoration of our navy; it has squandered hundreds of millions to cre ate a navy that does not exist It calls upon Oonirress to remove the burdeusunder which Vmeriean shipping has been depressed; it imposed and has continued those bnrdens. It professes tho policy of reserving the publio lands for small holding by actual settlers. It has given away tho peoples' heritage ti'l now a few railroads, and lion-resident aliens, individual and corporate, pos sess a larger arei than tint of all our farms between the seas. It professei a preference for free institu ttons; it organize 1 and triad to legalize a control of State elections by feaerAl troops. It professes a de sire to elevate lahor; it has sunjected American work ingmen to tho competition of convict and imported contract labor. It professes gratitude to all who were disabled or died in the war, leaving widows and orphans; it left to a Democrat ic House of Kepresen Utives the flrst effort to equalize both bounties a-d pension!". It proffers a pledge to correct the irregu larities of our tariff; it created and has continued thsin. Its own tariff commission e-nfessed the need of more than 20 'per cent, reduction; its Congress gave a reduction of less than 4' per cent. It professes the protection of American manufacturers ; it has sub jected them to- an increasing flood of manufactured good3, and a hopeless coinpet tion with manufactur ing nations, not one of which taxes raw material. It professes to protect all American industries; it has impoverished many to subsidizs a few. It professes the protection of American labor; it has depleted the returns of American agriculture, an industry followed by half our people. It professes the equality of all men before the law. Attempting to fix the s Jitus of colored citizens, the acts of its Congress were overset by the decisions of its courts. It "accapts anew the duty of leading in the work of progress and reform;" its caught criminals are permitted to escape through contrived delaj s or actual connivance in the prose cution. Honeycombed with corruption, outbreaking exposures no longer tnocK its moral sense, its tion est members, its indepedent journals, no longer main tain a successful contest for authority in its counsels or a veto upon bad nominatons. That change is ncc essarily proved by an existing surplus of more than 5100,000,000, which has yearly been collected from a buffeting people. Unnecessary taxation is unjust taxation. We denonncc the Republican party for havingfailed to relieve the people from crushing war taxes which have paralyzed bu9ineys. crippled industry and de prived Ubor of employment and of just reward. The liemocracy pledges itself to purify the admin istration from corruption, to restore econ omy, to revive respect lor law ana to re duce taxation to the lowest limit consistent with a due -regard to the preservation of the faith of the nation, to its. creditors and pensioners; Knowing lull well, however, that legislation affecting the occupations of the people should be cautious and conser vative in method, not in advance of public opinion, but responsive vo ita demands, the demo cratic party is pledged to revise the tariff in a spirit of fairness to all interests; but m mating a reduction in taxes, it is not proposed to injure any domestic indus tries but rather to promote their healthy growth. From the foundation of this Government the taxes collected at the Custom-house have been the chief source of Federal revenue. Such they must continue to b Moreover, many industries have come to rely upon legislation for a successfnl continuance, so that any change of law must be at every stop regardful of labor and capital thus involved. The process or reform must be subject in its execution to this plain dictate of justice All taxation shall be limited to the re quirements of an economical Government. The necessary reduction in taxation can and must be af fected without depriving American labor of the abil ty to compete successfully with foreign labor, and without imposing lower rates or duty tnan will be ample to cover any increased cstof production which may exift in consequence of the higher rate of wages prevailing m tuts ci'uuij. cmjuuiciib icvciiu? to pay all the expenses oi tne t eaerai uovernment econom ically administered, including pensions, interest and principal of tha public debt, can be got under our present system of taxation irom uustom-nouse taxes on fewer initorted articles, bearing the heaviest on articles of luxury and bearing lightest on articles of necessity. Ve therotore denounce the abuses of the existing tariff and subject to preceedinglimitation, we demand that Federal taxation shall be exclusively for public purposes, and sh;-ll not exceed the needs of the government economically administered. The system of direct taxation known as tne "internal revenue, is a wartax.and so long as "the law-continues the money received therefrom should be sacredly devoted to the relief of tho people from regaining burdens of the war, and be made a fund to defray the exjiense of the card and comfort of worthy soldiers, disabled in the line of duty in the wars of the Republic, and for the payment of such pensions as ConcTess may from time to time grant to such soldiers a like f uni.f or the sailors having been already provided and any sur plus should be paid into the treasury. We favor an American continental policy, based upon more intimate commercial and political relations with the fifteen sister Republics of Narth, Central and South America, but entangling alliances with none. We believe in honest money the gild and silver coinage of the constititu tion and a circulating medium convertible into such money without loss. Asserting the equality of all men betore tne law we hold that it is the duty of the Government, in dealings with the people, to mete out equal and exact justice to all citizens, of whatever nativity, race, col or or persuasion, religious or inimical. We believe in a free ballot and a lair count, and we recall to the memory of the people the noble struggle ef the Democrats in the Forty-fifth and For- tv-sixth congresses, by wnicn a reluctant tienuoacan opposition was compelled to assent to legislation making everywhere illegal the presence of troops at the polls the conclusive proof that a Democratic administration will preserve liberty with order. The selection of Federal officers for the Territories should be restricted to citizens previously resident thereof. We onnose sumptuary laws, which vex the citizens and intefere with individual liberty. We favor an honest cu u service reform in compen sation of all United States offices by fixed salaries, the separation of Church and State, and the diffusion of free education by oommja schools, so that Trr child iu the fettd may be taught the rights and duties of wane ire favor ail legisoiion wmcu ui u-uu w the equitable distribution of property, to the preven tion of monopoly, and to the strict enforcement of Individual rights against corporate anuses e that the Tlfare of society depends on a scrupulous regard for the rights of property as defii.ed by law. We believt that labor is best rewarded where it w freest and most enlightened. . It should be fostered and cherished, we Javor tne repeal oi an men" restraining the free action of labor, and the enact ment of laws by which labor organizations may bo increased, and of all such legislation as will tend to enlighten the people as to tne true relations oi cap ital and labor. We believe that .the public lands ought, as iar as possible, to be kept as homesteads for actual settlers; that all unearned lands heretofore iiuprovtdently 1 txt m-lrosid cnr.xrations by the Uepubliean party should be restored to the public domain, and no more grants shall be made to corporations, or be al lowed to fall Into the ownership tf alien absentee. We are oopoted to all propositions wnicn, upon any pretext, would convert the general uovernmen uuo a machine for the collection of taxes to be distributed among the States or citizens therecf. In reaffirming the: declaration cf the uenucrauc platform of 1858 thaf'lhe liberal principles embodied W .TAf?rsin in th? Declaration of Independence, and n.-finriAil in i Vi Constitution, which makes ours the land of liberty and the asylum cf the oppressed of every nation, have eer been caramel imutijura ju the Democratic faith,', we nevertheless do not junc tion the importation of foreign lubor, or the admission of servile races unfitod bv habits, trainine, religion or kindred for absorption into the great body of our peo ple, or to the citizenship whi. h our laws confer. American civilization demands that against the immi gration or importation ot Jloiigoliano to these shores our gates should te closed'. . . The Democratic party Insists mat it is tee duty of the Government to protest with equal fidelity and vigilance we ngnis oi its ciuzcus, native or naturalized, at home and abroad; and to the end that this protection may be assured, United States papers of naturalization issued by Courts of competent Jarlsdiction, must be respected by the executive and legislative depaituicnts of our own Government, and by s'l foreign powers. It is an imperative duty of this G .vernment to etliciently protect all the rights of persons and the proierty of every American citizen in foreign lands, and demand and enforce full reparation for any invasion thereof. u American citizen is only responsible to his own Government for any actdone hi his country, or under her flag and law, enlj to be tried therefor on her soil, and according' to her laws. No power exists in this government to expatriate an American citizen, to be tried in any foreign land for any such act. . Thiscountry hasnever had any well-defined andexe cuted foreign policy save under a Democratic adminis tration that policy has ever been, in regard to for eign nations, so long as they do no act detrimental to the interests of the country or hurtful to our citizens, to ' let them ; alone. .That as the result of this' policy wo recall the acquisition "of Louisiana,.- Florida California ami. of the adjacent Mexican territory by purchase alone, and con trait these grand acquisitions of Democratic statesman ship with the purchase of Alaska the sole fruit of Republican administration of nearly a quarter of a century. The General Government should care for and improve the Mtssisgppi river and other great water ways of the ltupublic, so as to secure for ti.e nterior utates easy and cheap transportation to tide-water. Under a long period of Democratic rule and policy our merchant marine was fast overtaking, and on the point of outstripping, that of Great Britain. Undergo years of Uepubliean rule and policy our commerce has been left to British bottoms and almost has the Ameri can flag been swept off the high seas. Instead of the Republican party's British policy, we demand for the people of the United Stales an American policy. Under Democratic rule and policy our merchants and sailors flying the stars and stripes in every port, suc cessfully searched out a market for the varied pro ducts of American industry, ' Under a quarter of a century of Republican rule and policy, despite our manifest advantages over all other nations in high-paid labor, favorable climates and teeming, soils despits the freedom of trade among all these United States, despite their population by tho foremost races of men and an an nual immigration of the young, thrifty and adventur ous of all nations: despite our ireedom here from in herited burdens of life and industries in the oH world monarchies, theiroootlywaruavies, their vast tax consuming non-producing standing armies, despite 20 years of jcace, that Republican rule and policy have managed to surrender to Great Britain, along with our commerce, the control of the markets of the V40"ld. Instead of the Uepubliean party's British policy, we demand, in behalf of the American Democracy, an American policy; intcail of .the Republican party's discredited scheme ami false pretense of friendship to American laber, expressed by imposing taxes, we de maud in behalf of the Democracy, freedom for Amer ican labor, by reducing taxes to the end that these United States may compete with unliindcred powers for primacy among nations in all the arts of peace and fruits ot liberty. . -. .. With protomid l egret we have been apprised by the venerable statesman, through whose person wa.s struck that blow at the vital principle of the republic ac quiescence in the will of tha majority that ha can net permit us again to place in his hands the leader ship of the Democratic host, for the reason that the achievements of reforni ia the administration of the Federal Government is an undertaking now too heavy for his age and failing strength. Kejoicing that his life has been prolonged until the general judgment of our fellow conntrunen is united in the wish that tho wrong were lighted in his person for the Democracy of the United States, we offer to him in his withdraw al from those cares not only our respected sympathy and esteem, but also that best homngo of freeman, th nledire of our devotion to the l-rincipl-'S and the cause now insepcrable in the history of this llepublic from the labors and name of hamuel J. ninen.
