JLii Grande Letter. Ed. Scout. In order to discuss political ques tions intelligently it is necessary to understand. the position of parties on the issiios of the day. The republi cans are in favor of .a higher tarill', having protection for il object and rovenue ns an incident. While demo crats arc in favor of u tarifl for revenue and protection a an incident. IJoth parties are in favor of protection more or Icpp. Tlio question how much tar iff wo should have on manufactured goods in order to compete successfully with imported goods is the real ques tion at issue. The republicans declare that a high tariff, our present tariff of 47.10 per cent, is accessary for success ful competition with foreign goods. The democrats declare that a low tar iff say 25 per cent is all that is neces sary for successful competition. They declare further that any more tariff than is necessary for successful com petition is a direct bonus to the man ufacturer and is robbery of the con sumer in the name of law. They de clare further that such legislation is for the benefit of the few at the ex pense of the many, When all the un favorable conditions of successful man ufacturing in (he United States are provided for by our tariff every demo crat and every republican will say that higher tariff than that is a bonus to the manufacturer ho ought not to have and just so much taken unjustly from the consumer. Jt is admitted by all that we have more, cheaper and better raw material than any other country that wo have the bent labor saving ma chinery in the world. That our labor is nioro intelligent than that of any other country in Europe. Wo also have a percentage in freight- and in surance; why then can we not com- peto in our own and , the markets of thu world? Oh! say the republicans, we cannot compete with the cheaper pauper labor of Europe and this !-eems to be the only unfavorable condition which presents successful competition without any tariff as all other condi tions are are in our favor. For thu sake of this argument we will admit the premises of the republicans, that labor is much higher in America than in Kuropc. As a matter of fact, if wo judge the price of labor, not by how much it is per day, but by its product ive power, it can ho shown positively that pauper labor is the dearest in the world and that American labor by the uko of our labor saving machines and by its intelligence is the cheapest in tho world. Admit that wages in America are double what they are in Europe tho question is, can wo afford to pay that under a rovenue um 11 ot 2 per cent and successfully compete. Jf we can that should be an cud of tho argu moot and every man should admit that a tariff from 10 to 200 per ont is not needed and tho excess of 2fi per cent is a bonus to manufacturers they do not need and is robbery of tho con HUmer in tho nanio of law. Tho amount paid for labor varies from lii to about Ilfi per cent in manufacturing, Fay on an average ot iiutmt so per cent. Js'ow if wo havo a tariff of tier cent that pays for all our labor and if laborcosts nothing in tho old world and all our labor is paid for by a tin ill of 2o per cent and all other coiuuuons arom our nvvor wny can wo not unuer sucn coiuuuons success fully compoto with foreign nmnufactu rers? If our promises are correct and wo assert they can not bo disputed, then it follows logically that a 25 per :ent (anil allords all tho protection any manufacturer should havo and is a complcto justification of tho demo cratie dootrino of a tariff for revenue only. ' If a manufacturer under a 25 per iynt tariff can manufacture a yard of cloth ami sell it at a roasonablo profit at $1.25 that is all tho protection ho should havo and if we give- him (0 per cent protection wo cnahlo him to rob the consumer of 35 conta. This ahowR tho difference between a demo cratic and a republican tariff. Tho one gives the manufacturer all tho protcotion ho should havo and enables him to pay good wages and gives tho consumers cheap goods. Tho other not only gives the manufacturer all tho piotoction ho should have hut also give him n direct bonus by robbing tho consumer of an additional por com ho ought not to have. This is too plain for argument. Tho valuo of money is its purchasing power. All tho nccoBsarica of life aro raised in price by a high protective tariff unless wages aro raibed in liko proportion. Tho wages of the laloror aro really less under a high tariff than under a low, though ho may got as much per day under ono as under tho other for thu purchasing power of his wages has boon decreased. Now, if 25 per cent will pay or all tho labor in nianufuo luting mid if laborcosts twice as much in America as in Europe a 25 per cent tariff gives tho American manufactu rer 12 per cent advantage over his European rival on the condition of wages. Or in other words a tariff for revenue, a low tariff, protects the la borer, the toiling millions, while as re publican tariff, a high tariff, robs him for tho benefft of our manufacturers. Thus far in this anvas the republicans have been raising tho cry of free trade and protection of manufacturers. Nobody but a demagogue or driveling, semi-insane, lanuf.cal Ingot will Keep ii) thu cry of free trade. That cry has already spct its force. A homo in a lunatic asylum or a house for the reformation of political fools and idiots would bo a blessing to all such editors and political cranks. The Mills lull is a high tariff bill. It was not drawn up to defend a theory of government. its object is to soadiust llic tarm as to reduce tho Kiirplus and btop accu initiating monev in tho treasury. It leaves the question of how much ro duction of tho tariff should be made on certain articles to tho future action of congress. To call it a freo trade bill is an insult to the intelligent men of both parties. If Cleveland is re elected, reduction of tarifl', tariff reform is a settled question. If ho is beaten the light goes on. Lhe causo is pro gressing and the masses of tho people are being aroused. The advent of the people is coming and "woo to tho man and woe to the partv that falls beneath Min m?'iMi of flmir lilirrlitini' indiirna- lion." Democrat. Unearthing old Relics. El). fc'roiT: As to -'shot guns and blood hounds and masked men" we aro entirely free. Wo havo no slaves to bo fugitives; no lashes to be applied ; no dealers in hu man flesh and bono; no citizens war ring and struggling for a right to bo bought with blood. All this is past. America is united. Her citizens aro all citizens with one common object in view. Tho preservation and advance ment of American glory and Ameri can greatness. The war is over, the slaves aro free and equal citizens, and the people that took arms against America in 1861 would take up arms for her mid fight with tho samo patri otic valor to-day that they did then. They would buffer tho most extreme deprivations of brutal warfare in the name of united America to-day, with all tho earnestness und resignation that they stood to divide her in 1S01. Wo aro prosperous and peace ful ; harmony in advancement exists, and only on little trivial party inter ests aro we divided. And now, Bio. Irwin, why do you dig up the old ani mosities of tho past? Does it mako one more wave on the sea of American greatness? One moru noto in tho har mony of American action? No! but rather it tends to crcato more and stronger prejudices and hatred in tho present political circles. It generates new hatred, for faults rehearsed only opens tho fastly healing wounds. It divides tho people in wider and more distant relation to each other, and brings out paltry, insignificant oppo sitions that tend to mako men ene mies. This is not political valor, is not justico to the devotion of citizens to immortal America therefore is not just opposition. It her aiu Tho "bloody shirt" should ncvorbo tlaunte over tho camps of the united people o this republic; it was steeped in the in utility ot a lieiuush ago : it was satu rated In tho tilth of n dirty and vile period, and now it is a truo spirit of patriotism manifested to wring the filth from its old rotten fragment, and let it drop in tho shrino of our united devotion? Tho issues of this day aro what should bo fully opened up to tho gaze of your pcoplo. Tako up tho platforms of each party and dissect them joint by joint. Look at their various features and many propositions. Tho democratic platforin suggests reduction of tho taxation on tho ne cessities of life, while tho republican platform favors a reduction of tho in- tcrnal rovonuo, which will let us oniov free - whisky nnd free tobacco, which is "ot objected to by its devotees, lxik t it plausibly and set it boforo tho people in thu language that none can fail to understand and don't for tho io of your own party dig un tho up tomahawk and flaunt tho iniquitous tilth of bygono times in tho conscious oyes of American splendor. Whenever wo resort to such argu ments to strengthen party faith wo aro surely becoming vory fcearec of the real truthful opposition upon which to found tho wall of party division. No paper can successfully circulate among ft pcoplo when it does not recognixo tho infalliblo right of every man to think, and vote for himself. No mau wants to pay for literaturo thatdenom hint on tho party to which ho belongs' j by virtue of his candid convictions, as "blood hounds" and "hell-hounds" and "ballot box stutters" and all such villainous names. Old war records, and anecdotts aro not fit missils to hurl into the political camp of to-day, aiua man who sets himself up us an example of piety and righteousness, should not, under any circumstances be the one to herald in the reign of corruption and vicious arguments. An example tot in one phase of hi? life should fully accord with all other examples that u man may be called upon to set by virtue of occupation. I?. W. Huffman.

A WARNING. nc inotcs f death's approach are various, ana statistics snow conclusive ly that more people die from diseases of tho throat and lungs than any other, It is probable that everyone without exception, receives vast numbers of tubercle germs into the syatem and where these germs fall upon suitable soil they start into life and develop, at first slowly and is shown by a slight tickling sensation in tho throat and if allowed to continue their ravages they extend to tho lungs producing con sumption and to the head, causing ca tarrh. Now all this is dangerous and if allowed to proceed will in time cause loath. At tho onset you must act with promptness; allowing a cold to go without attention is dangerous and may loto you vour inc. as soon as you feel (hat something is wrong with your throat, lungs or nostrils, obtain a bottle of IJosehee b German byrup.
