KltOU TIIK I'ST TO TIIK r-IIKSKXT.
lct us turn from tho tuist to tho pro
sent oliticuI issues, nnd fairly state, if
I can, tho underlying dlfleroneo between
tho two parties. And first let mo say
that tho republican party Is'lioves in
thu full oxorciso of nil tho powers of tho
national government plainly given or
fairly implied from tho constitution of
tho United States, whenever they can
bo oxerclHcd for tho common good or
tho general welfare. Tho democratic
party profess to IhjIIqvo in a strict con1
struction of tho constitution, nnd in
limiting tho powers of tho national gov
eminent. Still, I have always noticed
that whonovcr they wanted to do anything-
to subserve party purposes, they
do not stand upon theories. They gave
to slavery tho broadest jKiwers, until it
ruled tho country. TJioy novor liesitat
ed to construe tho constitution whon
they wanted to acquire territory or to
strengthen their jKiwer.
As our country grows In population
nnd wealth, tho necessity of n Btrong
government becomes more apparent
nnd more beneficial. What wo need In
this grent republic growing greater nnd
stronger with advancing years is n
firm, strong government of tho people,
for tlio jteoplo, carefully resecting tho
reserved rights ot tho states nnd expen
ding its force only in measures that tend
to diversify our industries, ndvnuco
our intelligence, nnd strengthen us
among tho family of nations.
Till! TAUIKK
Another practical diflbronco between
tho two parties is tlio tariir question,
nnd this grows out of tho fundamental
dllTorenca as to tho powers of the nation
al government. Tho republican party
believes that taxes 011 imported goods
should bo tho chief source of national
roventio, nnd thnt in levying theBO
taxes, called duties, they should bo
levied not only to rulso revenue, but to
foster, protect, nnd diversify American
labor and productions, Tho democratic
party favor duties for rovonuo only, or
exclusively thoy nro very touchy about
worda nnd their loadoro try nil sorts
of phrases to conceal their meaning.
This issue Is getting clearly dollnod,
nnd Is to-day tho chief immediate isstio
Iwtweon tho two parties. It is trual
that in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York
uud Connecticut, wo havo protective
democrats, ns wo used to havo anti
slavery democrats or bank democrats,
or tcuioriinco domocrats, but tho posi
tion of tlio democratic party is for
tariir for rovonuu only mid f reo trade as
soon as possible, UtKn this Ibsiio,
Curllslo wus oloeted speukor of tho
house, Html was nominated in tho
Toledo district, and Converse wna de
feated in tho Columbus district,
This wns tho Issue that Cleveland for
got ia Ids letter of acceptance in favor
01 itts moral issuo. 110 preiors to poao
as a moral reformor, rather than ua n
freo-trndor, but all tho sumo ho would
approvo any froo-trudo bill that would
pass congress. Who does not know
that If Itlalno Is elected ho will seek to
maintain tho protective policy wjdeh
for 26 years Jias been tho jwllpy of tho
republican party, nnd who doos not
know that If CJovoland is elected wo
will havo immediato and continual
agitation for tho reduction and abolition
of all protective duties?
Wliat is tho object of those duties, and
liow do thoy affect tho different classes
of our pooplo ? Tlio object of protect
ive duties is to encourage homo produc
tion. As tho duty or tax is only levied
on foreign goods, it follows thnt, to tlio
extent of tho tax, it is n discrimination
In favor of simitar goods mado here.
Tho domestic manufacturer is encoura
ged to rnnko them hero. If tho cost to
him hero is no greater titan tho cost of
tho foreign nrticlo with thotaxndded hd
can make it horo, nnd thus supply tho
market with tho homo product. Tho
advantago to the country at Inrgo Is
thnt ho becomo a consttmor of othor
homo products, such ns food, clothing,
etc., instead of n competitor. If ho has
no such protection ho must rcduco tho
wnges of his labor, or the cost of his ma
terials, or go to fanning or some other
pursuit. Tho repuldican party bcliovo
that tlio protective duty, while -St may
in tho first Instanco increase tho cost of
tho nrticlo to tho consumer, confers a
benefit by tho diversity of employment,
by increasing tlio price of labor, and
mnkiug n market, nnd in tho end, by
domestiu competition, lower tho price of
tlio articles to tho consumer.
Tlio threat of tho Morrison bill depriv
ed thousands of men of employment, nnd
mado stagnant tho great protective in
dustries of tho country. This, fellow citi
zens, is ono strong renson why tho dem
ocratic party ought not now to bo trust
ed with national power, for democratic
success means reduction of protective
dtittcB, nnd a gradual but sure over
throw of our manufacturing industries.
I.IIlEltAI, I'EXHIONS.
There Is ono other matter of public
policy to which tho republican party
is fully committed, nnd which I trust
will never 1ms placed under tho control
of tho democratic party, and that is tho
policy of liberal pensions and provisions
for tho soldiers of tlio union army, their
widows and their orphans. The re
publican nurtv is hound in iiooor.. as
well ns by ties of sympathy for tho
services and sacrifices of tho union sol
diers, to extend to nil who have been
disaldcd in tho wnr, their widows and
their orphans, tho most liberal pensions
over granted to tho soldiers of nny war.
Tlio republican party lias placed In
nomination two eminent citizens who
have been for more than 20 years active
ly and prominently Identified with all
tho measures of that party. Our candi
date for president is 11 man of the most
brilliant qualities, who has loen several
times speaker of tho house of represent
atives, onco a senator and secretary of
state, and has Iccn conspicuous in
overy position occupied by him. I have
known him during nil tho years of his
public service, and I beliovo him to bo
nn able, and honest and truo republican,
faithful to tho principles of our party,
with u mind of tho highest order, with
oxjHJrienco and executive capacity to
pcttorm willi groat credit tho high
duties of tho great ofilco of chief magis
trate of tho republic. Such is my opin
ion of James G. Blaine. I shall vote
for him us tho chosen reprcsentatlvo of
tho republican party, fairly nominated
by public opinion in the republican
slates and by delegates who fairly repre
sented tho opinion of their constituents.
SOLUIKtt AND SEXATOlt.
And so of tho candidate for vice-president.
IIo has boon a brilliant soldier,
nn nctivo senator, a man of high char
acter, and, if tho duty of president
should dovolvo upon him, of ample cx-
lcrionco nnd nblllty to perform tho du
ties of either president or vice-president.
Tho ticket is a strong ono, desorving
tho confidence and trust of ovory repub
lican. They will add by their adminis
tration to tho honorable record of tho
republican party. I beliovo from tho
signs of tlio times that thoy will lo elec
ted by a popular vote that will leave no
question of doubt, and will administer
their high duties to tho advantago of
tho ooplo uud to tlio honor of U10 re
publican party.
Professor O. V. Ilniley mentions in
tho Itural Now Yorkor n simple contri
vance thnt ho lias successfully used in
exterminating bugs on melon and cu
cumber vines, Ho says. "I took old
oyBter mid fruit cans (tin) and filled
thorn with a strong decoction of tobacco
stems and water ; I poured it on tho
stems hot and allowed It to cool ; I sot
0110 on ouch hill and placed therein a
woolen string (in thickness about tho
sizo of u wheat Btrnw), thoroughly wot
it, and allowed it to hang down to tho
plants, Tho string acts ns a siphon,
and draws tho liquid out drop by drop,
and keops tho plant continually moist
one4 with tho offensive liquid, thus
driving nil Insects away. It further as
sists in tho growth of tho plants by
keeping tho roots moist; yet so continu
al and gradual is tho application that
tho sun neither scalds nor bakes tho
earth. I uioroly mention this, us It may
bo something now, and I assure you it
la worthy ot a trial, as it proved entire
ly satisfactory to mo this season,"

Of lovrd one's left behind.

No braying horn, no screaming; fife
At dawn shall call to arms.

No impious footsteps here shall tread
The herbage of your grave;
Nor shall your glory be forgot
While fame her record keeps,
Or honor points tlie hallowed spot
Where valor proudlyjleeps.
A
The
MANUFACTURED NOSE.
Wonderful Result of a Number
of Surgical Operations.
I'rom the New York Timet
Thos. Colt has recently been dis
charged from Bcllovtic hospital with a
restored nose. IIo was deprived of his
nose a number of years ago by a can
cerous affection technically called lupus,
which destroyed the nasal bono as well
as tho fleshy covering, nnd even the
lower eyelids. His treatment was un
dertaken over 10 years ago by Dr.
Thos. Sabine, tho professor of anatomy
of tho college of physicians nnd sur
geons, nnd has been successfully pur
sued up to tho present time. Dr. Sabine
first addressed himself to tho task of ar
resting tlio disease, and when that was
lids by grafting thereon healthy skin
taken from tlio checks and forehead of
tho patient. The nioro dffllcull operation
of restoring tho nose followed. Tliis
was done by making uso of tho third
finger of tho left hand, from which tho
nail was. first removed by nitric acid.
Then tlio end of tho linger was fixed
against tho forehead between tho eyes,
the, epidermis nt tho point of contact
having boon previously removed to
bring about adhesion. At the same
time tho finger up to tho second Joint
was split open on tho undor side, tho
flesh stripped off, and tho flaps thereby
produced wore connected witli tlio
flesh of tho cheek on either side. Tlio
bund was fixed in tho proper position
by plaster of Paris, and held so until
tho adhesion was complete. Then tho
finger was amputated nt tho second
joint, and tho free edges of tho part ad
hering to tho faco wore arranged so as
to form tho w ings of tho nostrils. Dur
ing nil this time tho nasal orifico was
koptoicn by a hard rubber tube. Tho
treatment necessarily occupied much
timo, nnd involved a number of painful
operations, but was completed success
fully, nnd it is almost impossible now to
distinguish tho noso thus fashioned by
surgical skill "from 0110 cast in nature's
own mold.
Good Hits by a New Orator,
I From the Chicago Tribune.')
Ono of tlio wittiest and brightest
speeches of tho campaign was that de
livered by J. P. Dollivor a few days ago
upon tho occasion of his election as
temporary chairman of tho Iowa state
republican convention. Although Dol
livor is n young man of but 20, and
has boon hitherto unknown, at least
outside of his own section, ho has al
ready achieved a national reputation by
tliis speech, dollvorcd upon tho spur of
tho moment, which for wit, epigram,
Batiro, and taking qualities will chal
lenge tho host efforts of Storrs or even
Dob Ingersoll.
This young man, who has already
taken the position of tho leader ot tho
young republicans in Iowa, evinces all
tho elements of popularity. It there is
anything in oratory which Americans
admire it is brightness, and cleverness,
and tho faculty of impaling an opponent
in epigram, ns bo did tlio eastern dudes
whon ho said: "There are republicans
who treat their conscience ns if it were
stock in trado of a baking powdor fac
tory. Thoy solemnly protost that every
body's conscience has alum in it except
thoirs." And again: "You might as
well try to lit tho hundred-headed dog
of thu nncient fnblo with a straw hat as
to place a candid and intolliglblo tariff
platform' under tho feet of tho deino
crutlu party, Thoy approach that ques
tion and nearly ovory othor like a man
emptying hard coal ashes in a 'high
wind, with tholr eyes shut and tholr
backs to tho subject."
Ills Bpooch bristles with epigrammat
ic lilts such aa these ; "Tho first'act ot
tho democratic party is to filo a sche
dule In bankruptcy;" "Modern demo
crats of tho practical school have no
creed oxcept tho oatli of ofllco;" "It
is not tho fault of Hendricks that tho
Congressional Itccord connects him
with nil tho blunders and treasons of re
cent politics. Tt is tho tax a man pays
to Ids generation for tho luxury of hav
ing Jiccn nn eminent democrat;" "Tho
campaign will Inst long enough to show
to every sensible man's oyo that notos
iblo combination of tight pants nnd
hay fover can defeat tho anxious will of
tho real conscience of this country;"
nnd "Tho descendants ,of Cleopatra
might as well bring suit against the
estate of Mark Antony as for tho demo
cratic managers to parade tho venera
ble gentlemen who wcro caught between
tho wheels of tho electoral commis
sion." Hardly a sentenco of this re
markable speech fails in original and
bright illustration nnd sharply tipped
shafts hurled into the democratic ranks.
It rcunds off witli tho following neat
comparison between Cleveland and
Blaine:
"The jiooplo of this country like
brains nervous matter under tho roots
of tho hair. In James G. Blaine they
find a man tho scope of whoso faculties
is a ixsrfcet horizon a man who knows
tho size of this nation a man who
knows the history of this nation a man
who knows tho strength of this nation
a man who knows tlio rights of this na
tion a man who comprehends with a
Bcrne faith tho mission of tho republic
and its sublimo destiny in tho midst of
tlio nations and tho ages. Not in vain
lias this great state correct in its opin
ion, upright in its conscience laid at
the feet of Blaine tho royal tribute of
its affection. He stands to-day, at the
very opening of the campaign, at onco a
standard bearer nnd a victor. Cleve
land, as his letter informs us, believes in
Providence, and has tlio grace to say, in
his opinion, 'the Supremo Being will al
ways bless honest human endeavors in
tho conscientious discharge of public
duty.' Iowa believed that before Cleve
land ever thought of such a thing. God's
providence, yon may bo certain, never
identified the name of Blaine and
Logan in eternal reputation with the
most splendid pages of American histo
ry tho ono as a statesman, tho other
as a soldier -only to see them defeated
by a poison who at tlio age of 34 desert
ed a learned profession to becomo tho
hangman of a back county in New
York."
Tlio oxtracts wo havo made are suffi
cient to illustrate tho sparkling and
effective qualities of Dolliver's oratory.
Thoy are of tho kind which will mako
him n favorite witli the people, and will
rouso enthusiasm where deeper but
dryer men would fail. Humor is always
appreciated by Americans, and this
quality Dolliver possesses in a remarka
ble degree. It is stated that ho has al
ready been engaged to speak in "West
Virginia, Ohio, nnd Indiana.
The Czar as a Patron of Sporting-.
Tho emporer of Russia has lately
started racing in tho park at Pcterhof,
his country residence near St. Peters
burg. Ko pains havo been taken to
lay out tho course, which is hard as
adamant, and full of stones, so that, al
though tho races havo been run very
slow, and over short distances, half tho
hoiBoa havo Iwen broken down. The
races are all military stakes, and tho
officers wlio ride do not wear colors, but
appear in short, white jackets, so thnt
tho spectators cannot distinguish ono
horso from another. Tlio officers nro
wretched ridors, and tlio horses are
sadly deficient in speed. Tho stands,
which cost an enormous amount of
money, nro most hideous buildings.
Better things might surely havo boon
expected, considering that tho emperor
is familiar with Goodwood, Ascot," nnd
Scockbridgo. Polo has nleo been played
in tho park, nnd a strange sight it is,
for tho players are all mounted on
chargers, nnd ono Sunday, when tho
Cossacks played, it was liko Bedlam let
looso, nnd two officers wore dangerously
injured. On tho following Sunday
there was a startling chango, for it had
beon intimated that any player would
bo sont to prison who cither caused an
accident or mot "with ono, as tho im
perial party liad been distressed by tho
results of tho disasters on tho previous
occasion.
Horatio King was postmaster general
during Buchanan's administration and
now lives in elegant retirement in Wash
ington. The only knowledge tho public
has of him in Into years comes from tho
literary soirees hold at his residence
during tho winter seasons. Ho ha,
however, emerged into political activity
long enough to write a letter in favor of
Clovolund, in which ho expresses a
hone for tho return of tho "good old
days whon democratic officials conduct
oil tho government, always subordinat
ing party interests to tho public sorvico."
Whereupon a cold-bloodod statistical
follow publishes tho comparativo admin
istration of tho pbatofllce vrhon King
himself was postmaster general and
now, with tho following figures : Under
Buchanan's administration tho loss to

Burning' Question
(Commercial Gazette. J-
Tlio republican party 'has; been" In
power In the national government about
23 years, Pnrt of tho timo, it Is truo,
the democratic party had control of tho
house of representatives nnd did nit tho
mischief it could, nrttl throughout tho
whole period it showed that it was capa
ble of much harm to tho country if it
bad tho power. But both parties havo
mado a record in iliose 23 years, and
this In before tlio peoplo anil ought to
bo studied, especially by tlio young
men ns they reach tho voting age; Men
are judged not near so much by what
thoy promise as by wliat Uiey perform,
and this is the rnlo that should'bo ap
plied to party organizations.
If wo find a man who has been wrong
nil his lifo; who, when not In a position
to do wrong, showed that ho would havo
been wrong it tho opportunity Jiad'bccn
presented, no sensible person would
place much dependence upon tlio pro
mises bo might make. Finding a party
that had control of tho government or
near a quarter of a century; that' lost
it nnd for near another quarter of a
century lias sought to regain It, it is
natural enough, and it is quite proper to
ask : AVIiat has this party done to'cntl
tlo it to tho confidence of t the .country?
It is sufficient for tho present to inquiro:
"What has it done or tried to do in tho
last quarter of a century?
"When it stepped out of power tho
government it hod so long mismanaged
was without money, nnd in very poor
credit. Buchanan borrowed, witli great
difficulty, at equal to 12 per cent, per
annum. Traitors had scattered tlio
army and navy, for the express' purpose
of making it easy for rebels, to destroy
the union. When Abraham Lincoln
was inaugurated, there was no money
in the treasury ; there was neither army
nor navy; ho had nothing to bnild
upon but the patriotism of the loyol
peoplo of the north, and even this tho
democratic party, as an organization,
sought to destroy. In spite of this dem
ocratic organization, the rebellion was
suppressed; the union was saved;
slavery was abolished, and tho statea
wore restored to their places in the
union, and now there are fifty-Six: mil
lion peoplu under ono government, and
tho flag floats over free soil and free
men.
The credit of tho government is sec
ond to that of no other nation, and this
too in spite of tho democratic party.
There was not a step in the direction of
the re-establishment of credit tliat was
not persistently opposed by the demo
cratic party not one. And bow, be
liold tho paper money of "the country,
nil of which is issued under the authori
ty of congress, equal to coin, and tho
secretary of tho treasury paying three-ler-cent.
bonds in advance of maturity.
In 18C0 alemocratic president found it
difficult to borrow at 12 per cent per
annum; now a republcan president Is
able to pay ofTthreo-pcr-cent. bonds in
advance, nnd has paid off one hundred
millions within a year. Tiio contrast is
a very striking ono. And tlds Is no
more impressive than the record' of tlio
democratic party from I860 to the pres
ent hour. ''"
Yet this is tho party that asJrii1 Hho
country to turn tho republican party
out, and it asks tins upon promises
merely and in tho faco of a record ''that
should destroy any party. "
And where does its chief strength He?
In 1S00 it put tlio country in readiness
to bo destroyed. Now it comes up with
153 votes from tho solid south at least,
it claims tlio south and but for the
votes it will certainly have from that
section there would be nothing of tho
party but a more shell. It would fait to
pieces. AVlien tlio south rebelled it had
tlio democratic organization of tlio north
to build upon. Now tho latter, in tho
effort to regain control of the govern
ment, has tlio solid south to build upon,
and a very broad foundation it is, there
being 153 votes, which is only 43 short
of a majority of tlio electoral college.
Instead, therefore, of making this
election a question of men, it should bo
mainly a question of parties. Are tho
people of tho north ready to put a party
in powor with tho democratic record,
and that if put in powor must get in by
tho votes of tho states that la 1800 un
dertook to leavo tlio union? Would
thatbesafo? Would it be wise ? Are
tho people ready for an experiment ol
such startling proportions? These aro
burning questions, and of immediate im
portance. Tho political information from Now
York is of tlio most gratifying character.
Tho reports frbm all sections of the

ing and irresistible current for Blalna

is of tho most conclusive character. In
