The tariff qucstiou has absorbed the
attention of both the great politic
parties of the couutry for the past four
year?", notably that of the democratic
party. The leaders of that party have
always and at all times, since the defeat
or Mr. Hancock, declared that the ab
rogation of the protective tariff which
has beeu in force during eome twenty
four years of republican rule, must be
accomplished; that such was the mis
sion of the democracy of the nation.
Following these declarations the dem
ocratic piirty of the nation, witti flour
ish of trumpets, made this tariff ques
tion the idsue iu the organization of the
Forty-Eighth congress, electing Mr.
Cariisl : ever Mr. Randall on that issue,
and that aloue. Following up the de
clared p.rpoe of destroying the po-
tective policy in force since the war,
th.it parly rca le Mr. Morrison, of Illi
nois, a pronounced and offensive free
trader, chairman of the wajs and
means committee of the House, and
that gentleman at once introduced his
ct lebrateu "horizontal measure" for the
repeal of the so-called war lax duties
Delegates to the democratic national
convention were elected in almost ev
ery state in the Union upon that issue
and that alone. Following this, the
democratic partv, in its cowardice.
adopted a free trade plank iu its na
tional platform, capable of a double
construction, because a canvass of that
uestion in the nation bad demonstrat
ed the fact that a very respectable mi
nority of the party was opposed to free
trade
And now comes Grover Cleveland in
letter cf acceptance and completely
ignore this t a; iff question. All polit-
cal partie hare discussed it. Mr.
Blaiue and M'-. Butler in t ieir letters
of acceptaucs hava discussed it, yer,

history of our tariff agitation, during
the past four years, the silence of Mr.

Another, i3 his opinion that politi
cian statesmen If you please are i-oor
material to make presidents out of.
Mr. Cleveland sc( ms to think all this
great nation need?, is a wooden man to
sign the bills, a democratic co-3
may see fit to pass and ''perform the
routine duties" of tho executive othce.
This is about the idea thia nonentity
has of the great office of President of
these United States. A democratic un
derstrapper to carry out the schemes of
a democratic party.
Mr. Cleveland would have done much
better had he remained in the woods.
FREE HOMES FOR THE PEOPLE-
The Republican party from the out
sot has been the party of the people.
It has trusted the people and the peo
ple hare trusted it. It has alwajs
served the best interests of the people,
and has relied upon the populariutelli
gence and patriotism It has always
been upon the side of labor and the la-boritg-man.
It elevated labor by
abolishing slavery, and since that tim
it has never faltered ia upholding and
advancing its interests, in the face of
combined Democratic opposition
Its record upou the Homestead bill
that great measure which reserves free
land for free men, which has pi seed it
out of the power of employers to op
pre38 laboring men by giving them the
opportunity to support themselves in
dependent of capital, is of such a na
ture a3 should commend the party to
workingmen everywhere. In 1859 the
Republicans of the House passed a
Homestead bill against Democratic op
position, though the Senate Democrats
deb ated it. In 1860 the Republicans
passe ! another and Buchanan vetoed
it. In the campaign of that year the
Republicans made it an issue, and de
clared in thtir platform:
"We protest against any sale or al
ienation to others of the public lands
held by actual settlers and against any
view of the homestead policy which
regards the settlers as paupers or sup
pliants for public bonaty; and we de
mand the passage by Congress of tLe
complete and satisfactory measun
which has aiieady passed the House,'
In 1862 the bill was passed, and in
1SC8 and I72 it was still further im
proved. In tho party platform of 1S72
it was declared : "We are opposed to
iu; ther grants of the public lands to
corporations ann monopolies, and m
mand that the .National domain be set
apart for free homes for the peop!e.!
In 187 the j arty reit -rated this str.ti-
ment. It declared it again in 1S0.
In 1884 it claimed the public lands us
the heritage of the rjeoule of the
United States, and demanded th.t
they be held for actual Eettlers, and
pronounced against the acquisition of
these lands by corporations or in large
tracts by individuals "especially where
such holdings are in the bauds of non
resident alleus."
In the history of the Homestead la-v
the Republican party is found standing
steadily in its favor, the Democratic
party standing steadily against it. It
was framed by Republicans, and passed
by a Kepublicau Congress, and signed
by Abraham Lincoln after it had been
obstructed and defeated over and over
again by Democrats. It has siven
ice homes to the laborers and made
their labor independent. It has devel
oped the great West and enriched it.
The Republican party in this great
measure, a clearly as in the abolition
slavery, ttand; for fr e labor. It
emancipated the northern laborer from
the degradation of wages imposed by
slavery and from the insults and
taunts 'hurle 1 at free labor by the
South, and since that time it has still
further elevated and ennobled labor by
surrounding it with the protection of
the Homestead law and the laws for
bidding the farther importation of
Asiatic. It ha3 defended the work
iuuien against bosses, millionaires, and
monopolists. As between- the Republi-
can party, advocating the cause of the
laboring people and strengthening that
advocacy by practical legislation, and
the Democratic party steadily oppos
ing that legislation, can workingmen
hesitate how their vote) shall be ca-e?
Can they afford to vote against the
party .that gave them the Homestead
law?

n0're brief than Mr. Cleveland in his
letter of acceptance; as thedemocratic
party has no career in the past that
they can point to with pride, and but
mighty little hope for the future, it is
good judgment in them to say just as
little as possible about it.
