Feur years ago to-day the Oregon tun said: "Protection for the sake of pro tection is a fine sounding phrase, but it not contained in any platform of the repub lican party, and it is without wai rant in the constitution." Now it is one of the most out spoken defenders of this doctrine which it so honestly, candidly and forcibly condemn ed when it was in the habit of speak ing its conscientions convctions. Mr. Harrison is talking buttered water melon. He said the other dar that the Republican party had created the home i America. Why shonld he be a flapdoodl like that? Americans had homes, loved them.fiought for them, died for them.before the Republican party w as ever heard of. Col. George Anderson, of Somerville, N J. has placed $i,00t in the hands of ('. oorhees, as stakeho der, that Cleveland and Thurman would be elected, against $3oo bet by Alexander Mack, son of til proprietor of the Raritan Woolen Mills. The Dakota Republicans have been guilty of the heresy of proclaiming through their State Convention in favor of thorough revision of the tariff tnd a reduc tion of the duties on the necessaries of life THE FAKHRll'S INTERESTS. The Labor Signal, a newspaper devoted to the interests of organized labor,and pub lished at the home of Harrison has this lo say about how farmers are affected by the tariff : "Suppose he builds a house. He must pay a tariff of 20 per cent on the bricks for foundation and chimneys ; $2 per 1,000 feet on every board and stick of timber that goes Into it ; 35 cents per 1,000 on the shingles to cover it ; 1 cents per pound on the nails ; 6S cents per box of fifty feet on common window glass ; 20 per cent on his putty ; 45 per cent on his locks,screens and hinges ; 25 cents per gallon on his lin seed oil nd 3 cents per pound on his white lead j on lime lO per cent,and on sash cord 35 per cent. If there is any material that enters into the composition of that house which has escaped taxation it was certainly an unintentional omission.unless it may be the tand used in making the mortar, and doubtless the Senate will remedy this in its proposed substitute for the Mills bill. "Having his house built, the next thing is to furnish it. This he docs by laying down carpet hemp at 8 cents per square yard, three-ply at 35 percenter Axminster at 50 per cent ; his stoves come burdened with a tax of ii cents, and the pots and skillets 3 cents per pound ; his tables, stands, chairs, bedsteads, bureaus, lounges, etc., come in at a uniform tax of 35 per cent.He gets his dishes, including china and porce lain ware, at 50 per cent ; his glassware at 4O per cent i his spoons, knives and forks, clock, shears, scissors, Brittannia ware, brooms, shotgun, steel, gun wads, all go in at a uniform tax of 35 per cent ; his earthen and stone ware cost him 25 per cent ; sauce pans 3 cents per pound, and shot 2 cents per pound. For his shovel and tongs,mcal seives, lamp, lamp chimneys and shades, mouse traps and lanterns, he pays 45 per cent. His blankets,ticking and tabie cloths are assessed at 4O per cent ; but he must pay 50 per cent on his razor and queens ware. Baskets, blacking and brushes he can get at a uniform tax of 30 per cent ; blueing at 20 per cent ; common soap at 211 per cent, and toilet soap at 15 cents per pound ; looking glasses from 4 cents to 35 cents per square foot. "If there is anything omitted in the furn iture of a house in the above list it is the fault of the writer and not of the law. "Suppose the farmer has built his house and furnished it, and undertakes to supply his farm with the iinplements.loolsand ap pliances necessary to operate it economi cally. He can buy at a uniform tax of 45 percent all his spades,shovels,squares,steel yards, planes, scythes, augers, axes, awls brace, rules, bells, corn-knives, hammcisj hatchets, hay-knlves.hoes, pitchforks.plows and drawing knives. His iron wedges and carriage bolts pay a tariff of 2 cents per pound , his horseshoes 2 cents per pound, his rope i cents, and his wrought and horse shoe nails 4 cents per pound. On his cross cut saws he pays 10 c;nts per foot, and his hand and buck saws and grain bags 41) per cent j the hits for his brace pay a tariff of 5O percent; his salt 12 cents per 1 00 pounds ; his hames, trace, dog and halter chains, and saddles and harness 35 per cent. And so on, ad infinitum, from the smallest item to the largest machinery tax, tax, 'ax ! Nothing that a farmer raises.or possibly can raise, escapes. "Having built his house and furnished it and supplied his farm with tools and appli ances, he undertakes to clothe himself and family. At this point we are so lost amid the intricacies of this studied effort to tax at from one-fourth to one-half its value everything indispensable to a house or farm, that we find ourselves unable to rise to its sublime heights or descend to its never ending depths. Suffice it to say that there is nothing worn from the top of the head to the sole of the foot of man, woman or child that has not been forced to contribute to the payment of pensions and the nation al debt, and add its per cent to the enrich ment of the railroad, trust and syndicate magnates of the country.

" m-uus w 11 leu From the returns as far as heard from the republicans appear to have carried Maine by a somew hat less majority than they had in September, 1SS4. The esti mates made by republicans shows that they have gained on their total ote of 1S84 553 votes, while the democrats have gain ed on their total vote of 18S4 iyoi votes, a net gain for the democrats In the state of 3(S. The republicans lost the presidency in 1SS4 when they had 3iS larger majority than they have this year. If the election indicates anything it shows that party grows weaker as it nears the presidential election. The campaign liar is having a hard time this year. In reply lo the statement that the President's tariff message and the uis cussion of the Mills bill are stagnating old industries and preventing new ones.the In dianapolis Sentinel publishes a list of about a hundred new manufacturing enterprises, with an aggregate capital of $o,000,000i which have been started in Indiana alone since the President sent his message Congre ss.
