Thomas Lee, of the firm of Thomas

chants was detected in the act of smug
gling blankets into this country, on
Tuesday at Philadelphia. It ia not an
uucomtnon thing for parties to be
Caught in the act of smuggling, but in
view of the fact that Thomas Lee is a
shining light in the g. o. p. and one of
the signers of the call for a meeting of
li-'publtcan business men "to speak out
lu unmistakable tones in favor of the
American system of protection." it has
some significance. It shows that while
Mr. Lee was in favor of a protective
tariff to keep out other people's goods
he waa perfectly willing that Lis should
be smuggled in free of duty and al
though a Republican and a beneficiary
of high protection his pretended care
for the interests of the wage worktrs
Is a sham of the fullest kind.
Tub noted French General Bizine
died at Madrid, Spain, on the 23 1 Inst.,
aged 77 years. He entered the French
army In 131. and served with distinc
tion in Algeria, in Spain, in the Crim
ea, and in the Italian campaign of 1S"9.
He took part in the French expedition
In 1S02, and frm 1SG2 till the end of
the war held supreme cemmand ot the
French forces. When tn Africa, in
15.10, he had gaiued the Cross of the
Legion of Honor, in 13.X he bad been
promoted to be commander of the le
glon ; in 1803 be received the Grand
Cross ; and in 184 ".9 he was made com
mander in chief of the imperial guard.
At the outbreak of the war with Ger
many Bazine was at the bead cf the
third army corps near Metz. After the
battles of Worth and Farback be
took command of the Main French
armies, acd on Angnst 14. 1S70,
ha began a retreat from Metz.
Defeated at Mais Ia tocr and
Gravelotte, he retired within the forti
fications of Metz, which was Immedi
ately invested by Prince Frederick
Charles. Attempts to escape failing,
Baztne capitulated October 27, when
three marshals, over C,000 officers, and
173,000 men laid down their arms and
became prisoners of war. In 1873 Ba
zine waa tried by court martial, and
sentenced to degradation and death for
failing to do his duty. The sentence
waa commuted to twenty years' Impris
onment. But in 1871, Bazine contrived
to escape from the fortress on the lie
Pte. Marjarite, on the south coast,
where be waa then confined, and nit!
mitely made his wiy to viin.

to leurn, vm from the pi election ists of
Europe, anything that may be in con
flict with their prejudices. Thus every
protectionist conutry of Europe that
deserves to be called a manufacturing
country admits the raw materia' of
production free of duty. Germany,
France, Italy, Belgium and Austria
put wool, hemp, flix jute, coal, ore acd
all other raw materials of manufactur
ing upon the free list. Yet whenabi!)
is passed by tLe House of Representa
tives to put American rauufacture.-s
and worRingmen upon an equal footing
with their European rivals in the Im
portant respect of raw materials, such
intelligent and beneficent legislation is
denounced as a '-trap" and a "snare."
The majority of the Representatives of
the American people are treated as
tricksters engaged in little better than a
tbiee-card monte scheme to "catch the
manufacturers" with the "bait" of free
raw materials. Free wool, it is said,
would brt enevitablv followed by free
cloths and cat pets, and by the entire de
struction of the edifice of protection.
Of eourse, the American peopie will
do in the future whatever they may
deem expedient in tarilT legislation. If
they regard the policy of free raw ma
terials as essenti; 1 to the healthy de
velopment of their industties and cam"
merce they wi!l have it, v.ithout bor
rowing trouble about remote and im
probable contingencies. But has the
imputation of free raw materials by the
protectionist Governments of France
and Germany inclined those Govern
ments to the destruction of their entire
protective systems ? Sj far from it.
they make the policy of relieving their
raw materials from taxation an essen
tial part of their system of protection.
By duties on manufactured articles,
they prevent foreign competition in
their home markets. By free raw ma
materials, they ara enabled to enter the
markets of the world with their surplus
products. In freeing the raw materials
of industry from taxation those protect
tionist Governments do not set a "trap"
for manufacturers, and the Represen
tatives of the people of the United
States are quite as incapable of that
kind of a trick.
The plain, practicable questions
which address themselves to the com
mon Bense of the country are : Will the
policy of free raw materials promote the
industrial interests of this country ?
Will it give to American manufacturers
an equal footing and a fair Geld in
competing with their European rivals ?
Will it afford Amerioan merchants the
opportunities of extending their mark
ets, and thus relieve the borne maiket
of its accumulations of surplus pro
ducts ? If these questions can be an
swered in the affirmative, how absurd
it is to resist so beneficent a policy in
the groveling fear of an unlikely con
tingency.
In presenting the came of Thomas II.
Greevy for member of Congress from the
Twelfth District says the Johnstown
Dtuutcrat, the Democracy have acted
with their naual good judgment and
given the party a creditable candidate,
Mr. Grtevy has certsin elements of
strength iu Bedfora and Cambria coun
ties which Gibers might not possess, and
is, perhaps, tqualiy as acceptable to the
people of Bedford aud Somerset as ai.y
other gutleman who was n imed for the
honor. For many years he fc2s been re
con:zd all through the State as an
able and wise counsellor of the workicg
men, and what reputation te has made
has been in his consistent and persistent
advocacy on all occasions of the r!j;hts
and interests of the working prople.
He has not sought the favor or smiles
of monopolists, but bas given the beet
endeavors of hid life to betteiiLg tlis
condition of the mechanic, the work
ingman, and the farmer. Ila is a
scholar, a public speaker gifted i:h
the faculty of eloqu-nt and forcible ex
pression, a lawyer of ability, and a gen
tleman of pleasirg address. It is true
that he baa some disadvantages as a
candidate In not having muca moucy.
He is not a man or wealth, like Lis op
ponent, and has "no thousiods to put
into the campaign." In all qualifica
tions for the office, however, he meets
the JcfTersonian standard, and would
make a ret r Jen'acive in Congress cre
ditable to this important district. All
D: mccrats should vote and woik for
bis election. All workiegmen who de
sire a bold and able friend in Congre?3,
one who is able and fearless to advo
cate their cause, should vote for him
without regard to their previous politi
cal opinions. All citiztua should vote
for him, because he is a safe man for
all classes and conditions of men and
all the varitiid Lusineaa interests cf our
people.
In a conversation with Senator
Hearst, of California, printed in the
San Francisco Kxuniurr on Friday, and
reprinted in the New Yoik llrrahl of
yesteiday. Governor Hill, of New Yoik,
Is repDrted as saying : "I say New
will give 13,000 or 20.000 majority. I
have Dot the slightest doubt of what I
say. I have goue over the State from
every point of the compass. I have
gone among the people, and. figure it
out as I will, I have not been able to
estimate Cleveland's majority at less
than 10.000. Just tell the peop'e of
California that since Mr. Cleveland first
led in this State we have uever lost an
election. I'll tell people of the East
that myself." Waxing enthusiastic, the
Governor said : "Tell them that since
tbe time when Cleveland headed tbe
ticket for Governor and I for Lieuten
ant Governor we never have lost an
elrrt ion for the National or State ticket.
Tell them also that at the present mo
ment there Is not a single prominent
Democrat of X-w York who is opposed
to Mr. Cleveland. Think of that care
carefully. There is not a single one.
And, last of all. eay that Governor Hill
'.9 working might and maia tor tbe sue
cefs of thu National Dem tcratic ticket,
and he is ready tos'aodor fall w ith !'.."

the present campaign." said Mr. G.
Duff Nichols to a reporter in New York
on Monday. He is one of the General
Committee of the National Association
rf Democratic Clubs iu Connecticut.
Mr. Nichols brings home the most, flat
tering and encouraging reports from
these places, and feels assured that a
heavy and successful Democratic vote
will be polled there. Concerning the
nomination of Governor David B. II ill
for re election he said :
"The unanimous nomination of Mr.
Hill bas solidified the party and the
Democracy of New Y'ork State will cer
tainly give him a safe majority. .This
majority will astonish even Hill himself.
No matter where I have stopped in this
State I have found that every prominent
hotelkeeper will cast bis vote for Hill.
The general feeling in the State Is that
he is a wise and safe man. While Hill's
majority may be greater than Cleve
land's in this State, yet it is sate to
count on 20,000 majority for the nation
al ticket.
'In Onlo everything is very quiet.
and there is little or no talk a politics.
The Democrats of that State are, bow
ever, very busy sending out campaign
literature to every nook and corner of
it. Of course, while they do not expect
to carry the State, yet they have every
reason tor belief that they will greatly
reduce the Republican majority. Many
of theMichlgin farmers who are Re
publicans are in favor of tarilT revision,
and will undoubtedly cast their votes
for Cleveland.
"From every source, no matter how
partisan, all unite in giving Cleveland
great credit for having courage in his
convictions, aud there are tut few Re
publicans in tbatS'atebut that acknow
ledge that his tariff message and retali
atory message were the results of gieat
courage and independence of character.
Michigan is good Renting ground, and
the chances are strongly in favor of
Cleveland. I would riot be surprised if
that State went Democratic, as the
tarilT is creating a great dal of inquiry.
and information is sought from everv
source.
"The people of Wisconsin are al?o
alive on th tariff question, and from
every source accessions to the Demo
cratic ranks are reported. These reports
are greater than even the mnnt sanguine
expected or hoped for. and I would not
te su.prisetl if that Slate would give
Cleveland lO'.OOO majority.
"The nomination of Governor Palmer
for re-election to gubernatorial honors
in Illinois was favorably received, and I
believe that, while the national ticket
may not meet with success. Governor
Palmer will receive a large Democratic
majority. I
'"Indiana is a fichting State, and tbere '
the battle rages fiercely. Political meet
ings are being held at all hours of the
ilay by both parties. Some speakers
make as many as three addresses ir one
day in different parts of the State. The
manufacturers along the natural gas
telt, ranging from Indianapolis to tbe
lakes, are endeavoring to intimidate
their employees by threatening a reduc
tion of wajes if Cleveland is elected.
Whether this will be successful or not,
remains to b seen. The Drmocrats are
fully informed on tbe subject, and are
uslug every fair means to counteract it.
The tiizht there is very close, with the
chances in favor of Cleveland.
"Pennsylvania Democrats are fight
ing aa Gercely for the election of Cleve

pended on them, and while they, cf

"A visit to the city ot Pittsburg will
satisfy any unprejudiced man of the re
sult of It'-public:ic rule. The streets,
which are only forty feet wide at the

cable roads, much to tbe disgust of

X Lesson in Business.
The intelligent mn of business can
do better In th? mnHg-men; of his own
money than any government can do for
bim. Candidate Hirrison suggests
that the surplus arising from 'the ex
cessive taxation of the Federal Govern
ment should be used Iu the purchase of
bonds that are not yet due. A s.ngie
illustration will serve to establish the
injustice of this proposition. The Van
derbilt family hold f-M.Uun.OOu of these
government bonds. They are row sell
ing at $120. This wou'd give the
Vanderbilts ?."il.Gu0.000 for bonds which

Treasury has coru out of the pockets of
the people. It ahould be u?ed, not In

that the money this tax ttion wou'd take
may bs left fruitful in the taxpayers'
bandy. That is where it belongs : that
is where it can be most profitably em
ployed ; that id where it should bo left.
In any ordinary qnestion of taxation no
one would doubt this. It is no differ
ent or more doubtful because the milli

added to the prices of goods consumed,

ciar:s atrrmpt to I aco Mr. William Con
don in hie statement of Harrison's fa: a!
abuse of the Irish, they will fiud ibey
are not brushing aside a lying allegation
ty some irresponsible little campaign
prevaricator, but are facing the solemn
asseveration of an old citizen and influ
ential business man of unblemish repu
tation, and whose word is as good as Lis
tiond. It cannot be set aside on the
flimsy ground that some other man
fails to recall it.
Mr. William Condon, Sr., was seen
by a HuUttin reporter and asked as to
the statements m this morning's ranta
yrnjJi in reference tohischaiges against
Harrison for having slandered the Irish
people. Mr. Condon has talked the
matter over with gentlemen who also
heard Harrison's speech here in Dud
ley Hail, end has come to to tbe conclu
sion that it was in the campaign of 187G,
and not eight years ago.
Mr. Condon said : "IIarr?son, the
Republican presidential candidate,
spoke here on an afterwpon a few days
before the election of 187G, and Colfax
9poke in tbe evening of tbe same day, I
think, although I did not hear Colfax.
Tbe abesiv words from Ben Harrison
came out this way :
"Ilatrison had praised all the nation
alities, except tbe Irish, and was just
quitting the features of his address,
when an Irish accent asked : 'How
about the Irish, and where were Mea
gher, Sherida'j, Shields, Mulligan and
the others ?' The crowd hissed the
qnestion and shouted 'put him out.
While they were taking th old gentle
man from tbe building Harrison said
exactly these words :
" 'It is easy to know that man's race;
you all know what they are ; if it w?re
not for them we would noc i.erd half of
our penitentiaries, which are almost
full of tbera ; they have no Intelligence;
they are only good to shovel dirt and
grade railroads, for they receive more
that they are worth, as they are worth
no acquisition to the American people.
"I have frequently mentioned the
language to many people, and long be
fore Harrison was prominently men
tioned for the piesideuoy, aud therefore
it cannot be said 1 6peak of the matter
now for mere political tflVct. I was
surprised to find my letter in print, in
dexed. In my letter I made merely an
incidental reference to the matter, not
thinking that nor any other portion
would be copied by the press. I stand
by every material statement I have
made. Mnny of my neighbor" who did
not b"ar Harrison, remember that at
tbe P'rne a great deal was said ahont
his abusive remarks, which were more 1
bitter than anything I have ever heard
from anyone. I dislike to bring any
foreign nationality inro nur American
politics, in a free country wliere we all
are or should be Americans, for Ameri
can interests only ; m Ilarris.in has
provoked this matter by his own false
and bitter words on the stump. I have
no prejudice against other nationalities;
onthecontrary.it is a pleasure to re
member that all races have contributed
to the growth and spletdor of our coun
try, and that in the terrihle conflict for
the maintenance of the Union the Celt
and the brave heroes from tbe German
fatherland fought side by side with tbe
American born.
"The fa'se alarm of those who say the
Democratic party favors a tariff svstem
favorable to England an l detrimental
to America, should blind no mauly
Irish American to the- fact that a ran
corous defarmer of his race is running
against Cleveland, that fearless, honest
man whoso principles are calculated to
give cheap rood and clothing to the
poor, and to pref-erve the blessings of
this government for Americans yet un
born. Like every inlividual. every
race bas virtues as well as faults and,
therefore, I protest against Harrison's
sweeping yilifiraf ion of th Irish peo
ple, who usually ome here to obev the
laws and help develop the mental and
physical capacities of onr common
country.
"The rfTrtiTrti.h talks about produc
ing an aftiJivit that Harrison did not
make the abusive remark?. Well, there
will be a number of counter affidavits
from Irish-Americans. It is hard to
prove a negative, but we can prove It
was a positive fact."
The Indiana Campaign.
The campaign in tbe Hoosier State is
approaching be red-hot stage, with six
weeks more for work. Indiana casts a
little in excess of half a million of votes
aud of late years it bas been rare that
cither party hss had tonch over 6 000
plurality. In 187G, TiIon had 5.rl.
ia lS-0, Garfield had C.041, and ls84'
Cleveland had 6,.1?. In the State con
test of 1SG, on local issues, the R-pub
licans carried the State by 3..124. In
all these elections ttere baa bern'a" La
bor or Greenback party polling aa high
as 12,000 votes and a Prohibition vote
that has reached H.000. The latter is
an increasing forca in the State aud the
former a diminishing one, with the
prospect the Laoor vote will go latgr'y
Democratic this year, because of GeDt
ral Harrison radical course during the
strikes of 1S77 and later in opposing the
interests of the workingmen ar.d taking
sides with corporation emploveis. who
favored bim with big retainers. II
seived them as counsel on the field of
politics and raised a company of milita
ry to eaforce their "rights." All this
is telling agiint th R-pnb!ican candi
date at this time, especially in connec
tion with his pro-Chinese record which
wi'l not our. The Republicans, like
Lady Macbeth, have come to consider
it a "damned spot."
Tbe workingmen of tbe State are do
ing good work for the I. mocrarc na
tional candidates. Xo tariff scare was
possib'a in Indiana at any time. It Is a
little too far west, and th Republicans
are rather avoiding the issue raised by
President Cleveland on tax reduction,
lliey don't want to bother with it. An
Indianapolis special gives this report,
showing the tendency of the labor vote :
In Indiana tbe woikinrmn nr. rfnnn

at national heariqaarters this morning. In
these document the record of General Har
rison during the railroad strikes of 1H7 and
a attorney for the Ohio and Mississippi
Kulroad previous to ttit time are set forth.
In one of them a lfghograph fac-pimile of
the -oour.t rendered by General Harrison
as attorney for thn road is printed In which
he alleges that tbe services of himself and
other attorneys associated with biro were re
quired for one week, aud that such services
were worth tl.ooo for each cf the counsel
ttiu9 e rap loved. Another lithographic copy
of a rervipt showing that General Uarrison
was paid f 21.000 for his services is added
and at oither side of these; letters Is printed
a statement that this is th reason why the
Ohio and Mississippi road refused the de

raised during the strike in 1877, for f tow
lour days' service at that time.
This illustrates the drift of the cam
paign. General Harrison's daily ora
tions, running into very dull platitudes,
do not meet the case ; and the Repub
licans seem to be growing desperate, for
on Satnrdjy bight at Indianapolis they
assailed a Democratic procession, and
there wis a near approach to a danger
