The current number of the Indo
pendent contains a long, carefully-considered
and able article on "Virginia
and States' Rights," written by Secre
tary Sherman. "Virginia's true pol
icy," says the Secretary, "is to become
Republican in her politics and nat ional
in her.syrupathies, when all her waste
places will be gladdeued with indus-
try and her valleys teeming witli
wealth.
Harper's Weekly: "The report of
the Poland Committee, so far as it im
plies that Mr. Garfield agreed to take
the stock and receive the dividend bal
ance of $3;0, is thus wholly unwar
ranted by the evidence, and rests
solely upon the testimony of Mr.
Ames. The nuthors of the report
may have thought it necessary to show
their impartiality by sacrificing some
ef their own party friends."
Congressman Thak. C. Pound of
Wisconsin says he knows nothing to
warrant the expectation expressed by
candidate Weaver that tiie Green
backers will poll their full vote (about
thirty thousand) in Wisconsin this
fall, thus giving the State to Hancock.
He believes that there will be but
little defection from the Republican
ranks, and that Garfield will carry
the State by a handsome majority.
He is, of course, confident of his suc
cess throughout the country.
New York Tribune: "General
Hancock is the Democratic nominee,
not because of his soldierly qualities
or his statesmanship, but because the
Democratic delegates at Cincinnati
believed General Smith's story about
him, and believed that a man who
was so willing to resort to revolution
ary proceedings in behalf of another
would not shrink from uoing it on his
own account if the opportunity were
given. And the same considerations
that induce the Democracy to nominate
him should lead hini now to resign bis
commission in the unnv,"
The Cincinnati Commercial: "The
only thing Weaver can possibly do
will be to upset the calculations of the
old politicians in a few Congressional
districts, and possibly reduce Republi
can and Democratic majorities in
some half-dozen States. He ought to
know by this time that the clays of
Greenbackism as a distinctive political
element are over. Rut it is to be said
for him that he is no more insane
about his personal prospects than lie
fs in his money theories, and he may
) mm ago to pick up a considerable fol
lowing among incurable financial lun
atics." Chicago Tribune: "There is no
more reason why an Irishman should
be universally regarded as a Democrat
than there is why an American should
be regarded as a Republican. In fact
the great bulk of the Irish population
in this country live in the North and
in Republican States by choice; and
if the Irish in large numbers should
breakaway from the mere habit of
voting the Democratic ticket they
would discover closer ties of sympathy
with the Republican party than they
have ever had with the Democratic
party.

Why Pennsylvania Is Safe. j
Philadelphia Press.
It is part of the Democratic cam
paign of brag and buster this year to
claim Pennsylvania for Hancock, and
the boast of his popularity in this the
State that gave him birth has been so
often iterated that in some quarters
which should be better informed there
is a disposition to class the Common
wealth of Wllmot and Stevens with
the wayward members of the Union
who do not know their own minds or
keep their political consciences the
year in and out. The Press has re
ferred to this claim before, but it re
appears so often and iu so many
months that it will be a little time be
fore it is finally laid to rest.
Never was a graver Injustice done
an intelligent and thoughtful com
niunity with moral and patriotic con
victlons than that Implied in the ac
ceptance of the inference drawn from
the boasts of Senator Wallace and the
threats of 'Squire McMullin. General
nancocK not only wm not receive a
majority of the votes of Pennsylvania
next November, but, unless the ex
perience of the past and the well-
settled judgment of the State are be
lied, he will be defeated by a larger
majority than would be cast against
any other Presidential candidate of his
party, who was not put forward, as lie
has been, as the representative of
sentiment of mock patriotism and
honest desire for sectional reconcilia
tion at variance with the twenty-year-
old record of the Pennsylvania Demo
cracy, and upon which the people of
the State have once before set the seal
of their emphatic condemnation.
The vital fact is that Pennsylvania
is and has been ever since the lines
were clearly drawn between freedom
on the one t-ide and slavery on the
other between the Union and seces
sion and before a gun was fired on
Fort Sumter radically opposed both
to the theories and practices of the
Democratic party and identified by
faitli and action with the opposition to
that party. In oilier words, Pennsyl
vania is and lias been a stalwart Re
publican State for more than twenty
years. There lias not been a time
since 1850 when the heart and con
science, the moral, political and physi
cal forces of the State, have not been
given to the Republican party. There
lias not been a time since, when, on a
full and fair test, the majority of the
votes of the State has not been with
that party. It was so certainly in
18U0, when Lincoln had 1)0,000 ma
jority over the combined opposition.
It was so during the war, when thous
ands of her sons were on the battle
field, and the men she has since made
her military heroes, and to whom,
like Meade and Reynolds, she has
reared monuments of brass and marble
were no more or less than the privates
who died unknown and now till un
marked graves; and when, too An
drew Gregg Curtin, her martial Gov
ernor, was the iucarnatiou of the war
spirit and the embodiment of her pa
triotic hopes, and she rejected her
greatest jurist, by the votes of her old
men and returned cripples, for Curtin,
because she saw in him her own stern,
relentless purpose to crush the rebel
lion and save the Union. It was so
in the troublous period that followed
the war, when the veterans of that
struggle had returned home, many to
strike hands with the political foes
whose maledictions had followed them
to the field; when treachery ruled in
the Capital, and public place was the
bribe for a betrayal of the cause for
which these men had risked their
lives. Pennsylvania had felt the
shock of battle herself. Her soil had
quivered beneath the rebel tread; her
fairest towns had fallen a prey to the
torch of the incendiary raider, and
her richest fields had been ravaged by
the ruthless invader. Her judgment
rose superior to her gratitude, and the
bravest soldiers the Democrats could
seduce into accepting the gift of their
nominations were defeated with no
more compunction or pain than the
stay-at-home Democrats would have
been, who, in 1803, had to hide them
selves before the fury of an indignant
public sentiment. The grand and the
linal tcstof Pennsylvania Republican
ism was yet to come, however. The
campaign of 1872 will long last on
public memory as the most momen
tous of any that succeeded the white
heat of actual conflict, where bullets
had taken the place of ballots. Had
the Republicanism of Pennsylvania
been aught else than a moral convict
tion and a patriotic purpose, it would
not have survived that year. It had
sustained the most grievous wounds in
its own household. It had suffered
from the arrogance of despotic leaders
and had seen its cause made the pre
text for grave public wrongs. In the
nation, too, it it had witnessed the
spectacle of revered Republican lead
ers degraded without adequate cause
and a noble champion, who had felt
the bludgeon of the common enemy
without flinching, fall beneath the
blows of his own associates. It saw
nominations ruthlessly forced in op
position to a strong sentiment, and
the expediency of which was at least
questionable, and the party saddled
with the costs of acts of personal in
discretion which it was called upon to
publicly vindicate. It witnessed, too
a great public teacher, at whose feet it
had long sat, who was the apostle of
the policy which it had made its own,
nominated by a mass convention of
Republicans upon a sincere declaration
of fraternity aud good-will toward all
sections, which shames the Confeder-
ate planks of the Cincinnati platform,
There can be no doubt that the heart
of Pennsylvania yearned toward Hor-
ace Greely in 1872. His kindly face
was a household idol in many a Penn
sylvania home, and his Tribune had
been the political creed of thousands
of her voters since their childhood.
And yet the moment Greeley be
came the candidate of the Democratic
party a revulsion of feeling took place
which had not been known in the
Commonwealth 9lnce George M. Dal
las cast his vote as Vice President for
a revenue tariff, and the Whigs swept
the State as the result. The clouds of
defeat that obscured the fate of the
State ticket were at once dispelled.
Personal ambitions were abandoned
and private griefs stifled, party factions
were reunited, and even the remedy of
public wrongs was postponed until
the great danger involved in the elec
tion of Greeley by a rebel Democratic
party had been averted.
Nobody hut the mentally blind and
foolish believes, or can imagine that
General Hancock, running on a free-
trade platform, Is stronger in Pennsyl
vania to-day than Horace Greeley, the
great advocate of home industry, was
in 1872. To an extreme extent he re
presents the same theories, and in the
minds of a few enthusiasts of uncer
tain convictions aud unsteady politl
cal habits the same glorious ideal that
filled Greeley's soul, of a completely
fraternal uuion, would ho realized in
his election. But as the unsubstantial
fabric of tills vision will bo shown, it
will fade even from these plastic in
tellects. Horace Greeley's pen had
been as potent for Pennsylvania as
was Hancock's sword. In 1872 the
Republican party in the State was dis
satisfied and to some extent demoral
ized, and yet in that year, when the
issue had been clearly defined and the
Democratic mask torn off, It rose su
perior to affection and disaffection; to
its own sorrows and to public com
plaints. Now it is united and har
monious. There is no private or ex
ternal cause to obscure the vital ques
tion, and it will reject Hancock, who
conies in the same guise and represents
the same conditions, with even more
force than it turned from Greeley.
Republican Ruin.
The Democratic orators and editors
are trying to make out that the Re
publicans have ruined the country.
Yes ; and this is the way it was done:
In 18(50, after twenty years of Dem
ocratic rule, a government six per
cent, bond sold for eighty-nine cents.
In 1880, after twenty years of Re
publican rule, a government four per
.cent, bond sells for $1.08.
In I860, after twenty years of Dem
ocratic rule, a loan of $18,000,000 ex
hausted the market for six months.
At the end of twenty years of Re
publican rule a loan of $150,000,000
was taken iu a single day.
In twenty years of Republican rule
we find :
An increase of population of fifty
per cent.
An increase of general agricultural
exports of GU0 per cent.
An increase in exports of bread and
bread-stuffs of 050 per cent.
An increase of exports of manu
factured articles of 225 per cent.
An increase of internal commerce
of 700 per cent.
An increase of railway mileage o:
187 per cent.
In I860, after twenty years of Dem
ocratic rule, Congress authorized a
loan of $25,000,009 to pay current ex
penses. In 1880, after twenty years of Re
publican rule, the secretary of the
treasury pays $83,000,000 of debt con
tracted for a war brought on by a solid
Democratic south, which now wants
power again so as to stop the waving
of that bloody shirt the wearing of
which is Hancock's chief glory and
his whole available stock as a candi
date for the presidency.
In 1800, after twenty years of Dem
ocratic rule, the balance of trade
against the country was over 20,000,-
000.
On May 31, 1880, after twenty years
of Repulican rule, the balance of trade
was over $102,000,000 in favor of the
country.
In 1800, after twenty years of Denv
ocratic rule and teaching, there was
very serious question whether we had
any nation, and the old public func
tionary in t lie White House, whose
chief adviser was Jere Black, the man
who now furnishes the statesmanship
for General Hancock, announced that
there was "no power iu the govern
ment to coerce a state,'' leaving the
inference that Jeff Davis and Alec
Stephens could send the country to
the demnition bow-wows for all he
could do to prevent it. After twenty
years of Republican rule there is no
doubt that we have a country, and
Alec Stephens and Jere Black would
give all they are worth to have the
people forget that they ever questioned
it.
The kind of ruin which five succes
sive Republican administrations have
inflicted upou the country is just a
little striking in view of the figures,
and the people like it and call for more
of the same sort, aud are bound to
have it, too.

Garfield's Letter of Acceptance. I
Mentor, Ohio, July 12. General
Garfield has forwarded to Senator
Hoar the following letter of acceptance
of the nomination tendered him by
the Republican national convention :
Mentor, Julv 10. Dear Sin On
the evening of the 8th of June last I
had the honor to receive from you, In
presence of the committee of which
you were chairman, the official an
nouncement that the Kcpubiican
national convention, at Chicago, had
that day nominated me for their can
didate for president of the United
States. I accept the nomination with
gratitude for the confidence it implies,
and with deep sense of the responsi
bilities it imposes. I cordially endorse
the principles Bet forth in the platform
adopted by the convention on nearly
all the subjects of which it treats.
My opinions are on record among the
published proceedings of Congress. I
venture, however, to make' special
mention of some of the principal
topics which are likelv to become sub
jects of discussion, without reviewing
tiie controversies which nave ueen
settled during the last twenty years
and with no purpose or wisli to revive
the passions of the late war. It
should be said that while Republicans
fully recognize and will strenuously
defend all the rights retained by the
people and all the rights reserved to
the states, they reject the pernicious
doctrine of state supremacy which so
long crippled the functions of the na
tional government and at one time
brought the Union very near to de
struction. They Insist that the
United States is a nation with ample
power of self perservation; that its
constitution and laws made in pursu
ance thereof are the supreme law of
the laud; that the riifht of the nation
to determine the method by which its
own legislature shall be created cannot
be surrendered without abdicating one
of the fundamental powers of the gov
ernment; that the national laws re
lating to the election of Representa
tives in congress shall neither be vio
lated or evaded ; that every elector
shall be permitted freely and without
intimidation to cast his lawful ballot at
such election and have It honestly
counted and that the potency of his
vote shall not be destroyed by the
fraudulent vote of any other person.
The best thoughts and energies of our
people should be directed to those
great questions of national well being
iu which all have a common interest.
Such elforts will soonest restore per
fect peace to those who were lately iu
arms against each other, for justice
and good-will will outlast passion:
but it is certain that the wounds of
the war cannot be completely healed
and the spirit of brotherhood cannct
tully pervade the whole country until
every citizen, rich or poor, white or
black is secure in the tree and eloquent
enjoyment of every civil and political
right guaranteed by the constitution
and the laws. Whenever the free and
euual enjoyment of this right is not-
assured discontent will prevail, immi
gration will cease and the social and
industrial forces will continue to be
disturbed by the migration of laborers
and consequent diminution ot pros
penty. The national government
should exercise all its constitutional
authority to put an end to these evils,
for all the people and all the states are
members of one body, and no member
can sutler without injury to all.
THE TROUBLES IN THE SOUTH.
1 lie most serious evils which now
afflict the south, arise from the fact
that there is not such freedom and
toleration of political opinion and ac
tion that the minority party can
exercise an effective and wholesome
restraint upon the party in power.
Without such restraint the party rule
becomes tyrannical and corrupt. The
prosperity which is made possible in
the south by its great advantages of
soil and climate, will never be realized
until every voter can freely and safely
support any party he pleases. Next
iu importance to freedom and justice
is popular education, without which
neither justice nor freedom can lie per
manently maintained. Its interests
are entrusted to the states and the in
voluntary action of the people. What
ever help the nation can justly uiihrd
should he generously given to aid the
common schools, but it would be un
just to our people and dangerous to
our institutions to apply any portion
of the revenues of the nation or of the
states to the support of sectarian
schools. The separation of the church
and the state in everything relating
to taxation should be absolute.
THE FINANCES.
On the subject of national finances
my views have been so frequently and
so fully expressed that little is needed
m the way ot any additional state
ment. The public debt is now so well
secured and the rate of annual interest
has been so reduced by refunding that
rigid economy in expenditures, and
the faithful application of our surplus
revenues to the payment of the prin
cipal of the debt, will gradually, but
certainly, free the people from its bur
dens, and class with honor the finan
cial chapter of the war, at the same
time the government can provide for
all its ordinary expenditures and dis
charge its sacred obligations to the
soldiers of the Union and the widows
and orphans of those who died in its
defence. The resumption of specie
payments, which the Republican
party so courageously and successfully
accomplished, has removed from the
field of controversy many questions
that long and seriously disturbed the
credit of the -.government and the
business of the country.
Our paper currency is now as na
tional rs the flag, and resumption has
not only made it everywhere equal to
coin, but it has brought into use our
store of gold and silver, circulating
medium is more abundant than ever
before, and we need only to maintain
equality of all our dollars to insure
labor and capital a measure of value
from the use of which no one can
suffer loss. The great prosperity
which the country is now enjoying
should not be endangered by any vio
lent changes, or doubtful financial ex
periment. PROTECT HOME INDUSTRIES.
In reference to our customs laws, a
policy should be pursued which will
bring revenues to the treasury and
will enable the labor and capital em
ployed in cur great industries to com
pete fairly in our own markets with
the labor and capital of foreign pro
ducers. We legislate for the people of
the United States, not for the whole
world, and it is our glory that the
American laborer , is more intelli
gent und better paid than his foreign
competitor. Our country cannot be
independent unless its people, with
their abundant natural resources, pos
sess the requisite skill at any time to
clothe, arm and equip themselves for
war, and in time of eace to produce
an necessarv implements ot laoor.
It was the manifest intention of the
founders of the government to provide
for common defense, not by standing
armies alone, but by raising among
the people a greater army of artisans
whose Intelligence and skill should
powerfully contribute to the safety
and glory of the nation, t ortunateiy
for the interests of commerce there is
no longer nny formidable opposition
to appropriations for the improvement
of our hurbors and great navigable
rivers provided that the expenditures
for that purpose ate strictly of na
tional Importance. The Mississippi1
river, with its great tributaries, is of
such vital importance to so many mil
lions of people that the safety of its
navigation requires exceptional con
sideration. In order to secure to the
nation control of all Its waters
President Jeirerson negotiated the
purchase of a vast territory extending
from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific
ocean. The wisdom of congress
should be Invoked to devise some plan
by which that great river shall cease
to bo a terror to those who dwell upon
its banks and by which its shipping
may safely carry the Industrial pro
ducts of twenty-five millions of
people.
The interests of agriculture, which
Is the basis of all our material pros
perity and in which seven-twelfths of
our population are engaged, as well as
the interests of manufacture and com
merce demand that facilities for cheap
transportation shall be increased by
the use ot all our great water courses.
Material interests of this country, the
traditions of settlement and sentiment
of our people, have led the govern
ment to offer the widest hospitality to
emigrants who seek our shores for new
and happy homes. Willing to share
the burdens as well us the benefits of
our society ond intending that their
posterity shall become an undistin
guishab'le part of our population.
THE CHINESE QUESTION.
The recent move of Chinese to our
Pacific coast partakes but little of the
qualities of such an emigration either
in its purpose or its results. It is too
much like an importation to be wel
comed without restriction ; too much
like an invasion to be looked upon
without solicitude. We cannot con
sent to allow any form of servill labor
to be introduced among us under the
guise of immigration. Recognizing
the gravity of this subject, the present
administration, assisted by Congress
sent to China a commission of distin
guished citizens for the purpose of
securing such a modification of the
existing treaty as will prevent the
evils likely to arise from tiie situation.
It is confidently believed that these
diplomatic negotiations will be suc
cessiul without the loss of commercial
intercourse between the two great
powers, which promised a great in
crease of reciprocal trade and enlarge
ment of our markets. Should these
efforts fail it will be the duty of Con
gress to mitigate the evils already felt
and prevent their increase by such
restrictions as, without violence or in
injustice, will place upon a sure foun
dation the peace of our communities
and the freedom and dignity of labor.
CIVIL SERVICE.
Appointment of citizens to various
executive and judicial offices of the
government is the most dillicult of all
duties whiHi the constitution litis im
posed upon the executive. The con
vention wisely demands that Congress
shall co-operate with the executive de
partments iu placing the civil service
on a better basis. Experience has
proved that without frequent changes
of adinislratiou no system of
reform can lie made effective and
permanent without the aid of legisla
tion. Appointments to the military
service are so regulated by law and
custom as to leave but little ground
of complaint. It may not be wise to
make similar regulations oy law lor
civil service, but without invading
the authority or necessary discrttion
of the executive, Congress should de
vise a method that will determine
the tenure of office and greatly reduce
the uncertainty which makes that
service so uncertain and unsatisfactory
Without depriving any ollicer of his
rights as a citizen, the government
should require him to discharge all his
ollicial duties with intelligence, effici
ency und faithfulness. To select wisely
from our vast population those who
are best fil ed for many offices to be
filled, requires an acquaintance far be
yond the range of any one man. The
executive should therefore seek and re
ceive in format ion and assistance i f
thi:se whose knowledge of communi
ties in which duties are to lie per
formed best quality them to aid in
making the wisest, choice.
The doctrines announced by the
Chicago convention arc not temporary
devices of a parly to carry an election.
The,' are deliberate convictions result
ing from a careful study of the spirit
of our institutions, the events of our
history and best impulses of our peo
ple. In my judgment these principles
should control legislation and the ad
ministration of the government. In
any event they will guide my conduct
until experience points out a better
way.
If elected, it will be my purpose to
enforce strict obedience to the consti
tution and laws and promote as best I
may the interest and honor of the
whole country, relying for support
upon the wisdom of Congress, the in
telligence ond patriotism of the people
and favor of God. With great respect,
I urn, very truly yours,
J . A. UARKIELD.

and all other plows havo hitherto proved a
failure.
With this Plow will be Introduced a corru
gated Plow Point and Jointer Point, on which
we have also obtained a Patent, and which Is
also a great Improvement, both as regards
strength and wear.
The Jointer can be shifted so as to take
more or less land, and also moro or less pitch,
nnd It can always be kept on a line with the
Plow.
The wheel will mo under the beam or ona
Bide of It as desired, and always kept In line.
The beam Is adjustable for Spring or Fall
Plowing, and also for two or three horses.
The handles can be adjusted to accommo
date a man or boy, on the same Plow.
It Is a perfect now.
Wooden beams arc going out of use because
they Bhrlnk, swell and warp, and never run
two seasons alike.
Iron beams are too heavy.
Malleable beams become demoralized and
bend, which is much worso than to break.
A steel beam Is the necessity of the day. It
Is throe times as strong and very much lighter
than any other style.
When we say a Mold board Is chilled, the
farmers know It Is so.
We Co not palm off on them a composition
of various metals and call It chilled rneUU.
We want agents for this new Plow In every
town In this State.
Wo can give but a very small discount to
them, but we will pay the Railroad Freight.
Wo propose to place this Plow In the hands
of Farmers as near the cost of manufacture
as possible.
It will be the bent Agricultural Implement
ever sold.
It shall also be the cheapest.
Persons therefore who are not willing to act
as agents on the principle that " a nimble six
pence Is better than a slow shilling," need not
apply for an agency.
No Plows on commission. All sales absolute.
rr This lathe only steel Chilled Plow In
the World.
Steel costs several times more than Iron.
But this Plow, full rigged, by giving small
discounts, can be sold for Seventeen Dollars.
Compare this price with that of any Iron Plow
ever made.
It Is cheaper than any other Plow now
made would be at Ave dollars and a half.
Where there are no agents we will, on re
ceipt of Seventeen Dollars, send a Plow to any
Railroad station In the State and pay the
freight. Address,

means of which every Kullerer, n(
matter what his condition may be
may cure himself cheaply, privately,
anil radically. J '
