Both are worthy citizens, but Mr. Hoffa's popularity has been, tested by his election to the local Judge- ship in the face of a large majority, and his election to the Benaste seems to be reasonably certain, And here comes another bit of his record to trouble the managers of Gener- al Harrison in their search for that uon- certain quantity, the Irish Republican vote. In a dispatch to the Chicago Times, dated the 256th, itis shown that William Condon has made an affidavit, suppor ted by the affidavits of various other persons; that in making a speech st Darley Hall at Bloomington, Ill, a few days before the presidential election of 1876, General Harrison pointedly omitted in a passage comp imentary of paturalized American citizens all men- tion of those from Ireland, and that when a person in the audience drew Harrison's attention to the omission, he said: “It is easy to know that mar’ race; “you all know what they are; if it were “not for them we wonld not need half “our penitentiaries; they are only good “to shovel dirt and grade railroads, for . “which they receive more than they are “worth, as they are not acquisitions to “the American people.

Every month we send larger quantities of our barrows to customers in South America, New South Wales, Sandwich Islands, and several other countries. These peo- ple buy our goods because they are far superior to English make, but they do not buy them in the quantities they would like to. The reason is obvions, England takes their wool free of daty, and sends back agricultural implements and other goods in exchange. For the goods we send out to thess places we are obliged to draw on En gland for our pay. The money they get for their wool is all deposited in English banks of exchange. Give us free wool, and instead of the South American, New South Wales, and Sandwich Islands people buying their goods in foreign countries, we wonld here get the benefit of their orders and send goods in exchange for their product of wool.

Garfield, sons of the late President Garfield, now engaged a8 partners in the practice of law, are quoted in interviews on the tariff ques tion in a local paper regarding their father's tariff policy. Harry Garfie Id read #4 scrap book an extract from a speech delivered by Gen- eral Garfield in 1871 before the congress. ional committees having a tariff reduction bill in charge. In Garfield said. “I hold that & properly adjusted com- petition between home and foreign pro- ducts is the best gauge by which to reg ulate international trade, Cleveland, from it General Duties should be so high that our manufacturers can fairly compete with foreign products, bat not so high as to enable them to strike down our foreign products, enjoy a mou- opoly of the trade and regulate prices as hey please.

Were wool free, accepting the statements of each men as Mr. Dobson and Mr. Singerly that they could reduce the price on the manufac tured goods, the saving to the Peonsyl- Vania consumers on wooleas alone would be $12.1 000,000; and the people mostly benefited, the working classes. He took this line of argument on a number of other articles, and asserted that there was not a woolen mill in the country that is not languishing nor a worsted mill that is running, yet the manufac- turer is protected by a sixty per cent. tariff, .—— Dry goods.~Garmans. gd FAT ITE . ~Dry goods Garman, RNOTICE~LETTERS ministration upon the estate of dec'd late of Gregg twp. having granted 10 the undersigned be ues &ll persons knowing lebled 10 the estate (0 make I and those having claims * 10 present them duly suthents- ert M.
