Dear Bin: Id the iron manufacture, which is the most important business of oar State, there is great depression, and we cam not look for good times till it revives, for all other byiness interests depend up on it. It employs the miners by con suming ores and" creating demand for fuel, it freights our mil roads, and makes a market for farm products. The workmen in our mines and mills and furnaces are the chief consumer of domestic goods, and it is because khey are unemployed and unable to buy that our woolen and cotton lacto nes have reduced time of work, cut down wages, and stopped production. This again reacts disastrously upon the conT trades, upou the railroads, the manufacturers of chemicals and dye tuffs, and upon all other industries. When wages in the iron trade are high and work plentiful, every other business is prosperous, and this is true mot only of our own State but also of the whole country. the financial panic of September, 1873, crippled or stopped the rail raid and other enter prises which consume iron, and there suit was a general paralysis of busi ness . We should have recovered from it before this if there was no foreign interference with our industries, if the home market was reserved, as it should be, for the labor of our own people. Our chief trouble is that in England there has been such a great reduction in the wages of miners and of work men in iron and other industries, and such an immense decline in the prices of English goods, that, during the past year we have had a constant ly falling market, which has forced successive reductions of prices and wages nere, and Dos made buyers hold off and wait until the bottom would be reached. I think that this point his been reached and that demand will spring up, and our labor will be employed again with a gradual in crease of wages if we can retain the duties upon foreign' goods enacted by a Republican Congress for the protec tion of home industry. It is enough to take merely one or two items from our turilf laws, to show how important they are to us at tbis time, and what a calamity their repeal would be to the country. c a Articles.

Repeal the duties and it would be hopeless. They are a strong dyke, a wall, which the Republican party has built up around the industries of the country to keep out the overwhelm' ins flood of cheap foreign goods. While it stands we can not be desroy ed. The Democratic party has deter mined to break down this wall, and we are asked to help them by voting to put them in power. In their State conventions of this year, as in past years, the have denounced protection and demanded a tariff for revenue on ly, or declared in favor of Free Tiade. In Pennsylvania alone they are silent. They know that our mines have stop ped, that our rolling mills have sus pended, that furnaces are nut of blast, that factories are idle, and that thou sands of unemployed workingmen look forward to the coming winter with the fear of suffering for themselves and their families, aud they kuow, too.that their party from Maine to Missouri have uuited to destroy the tariff which is our sole protection against utter ruin yet they make no protest, they have no word to say in our defense their platform is ominously sileut on this most important subject. They in tend to vote ou national questions with the Maine Democrats who say in their resolutions, "A protective tariff is a most uniust. unequal, oppressive and wasteful mode of raising the public revenues. It is one or the most pregnant and fruitful sources of the corruptions of adminis tration. We, therefore, the Democra cy of Maine, in convention assembled, declare for Free Trade, and in favor of an unlettered aud unrestricted com meice." They indorse tho platform of the Missouri Democracy which declares that, "We denounce. the present tariff as having been concocted alone in the interests of Eastern manufacturers, OCTOBER 23, 1874. and in lieu of it we demand a tariff for revenue only that will be just to all sections of the country." They sustain and will labor with the Democracy of Illinois who declare in favor of "Free commerce, and no tariff ex cept for revenue purposes." They are in accord with tn Ohio Democrats who say in their platform, "We are opposed to the unjust and oppressive features of the existing tariff laws, and insist on their repeal or modification, so that a revenue tar iff shall be substituted for them." A sentiment indorsed by the Pitts burgh Post, the leading Democratic newspaper of our State, which says, "the Ohio platform thoroughly em braces the Democratic idea." NThe Democratic party of the nation threatens to strike the workiegman a fatal blow, and he will look in vain for any aiu to the cowardly and treacherous Democratic party of Penn sylvania. His only hope for the fu ture lies in the maintenance of that liberal policy of protection to home industry which was enacted, and is sustained, by the party which saved and now governs the country. The Republican party speaks with no doubtful voice to the workineinen of the Keystone State.. It favors "just protection and reward to every branch of industry, and of giving per manence to those measures which rec ognize agricultural, miuing, manufac turing, and mechanical pursuits, at entitled to the amplest nrotectwti and fullest development." It declares that 1 tie paralysis of business, which has fallen upou the manufacturing indjs try of the country within the Dnst year, is fresh evidence of the neces sity of that protection to our manufae taring interest for which the Republi can of Pennsylvania have alwasy 1 would say to the workinirmen of Pennsylvania, the choice is placed be fore you of sustaining and voting for your friends or vour foes. If you want to keep business unsettled and disturbed, and knock down prices and wages still lower, vote the Democratic ticket. If you want to still further depress and ruin home industry, vote the i-eiuocrauu ucaei. If you waut to close our own work shops and enrich foreign manufactur ers, vote the Democratic ticket. If you love Great Baritain more than you do your own land and its people, vote the Democratic ticket. We have to pay the interest on the national debt aud the expenses of the national Government, amounting to an immense sum of money annually, which must be raised in good part, as at present, by duties, or wholly by di rect taxation. If, like the Maine Dem ocrats, you object to having this col lected at the New York custom-house from duties on German broadcloth, English iron and steel, and French silks, and would prefer to have a Uni ted States tax levied on your house and lot or other property vote the Democratic ticket. I have used the duties on iron and steel to illustrate- the worth of the tariff to us, and it is not less valuable as a defense to our other industries. Without the ad valorem duty of sixty per cent, on silks, of thirty to forty five per cent, on carpets, of thirty-five to forty-five per cent, on clothing, and the protective specific and ad valorem duties on all cotton and woolen goods, our American workingmen in these industries might sit down in idleness, and the future would be without hope. This is what the Democratic party, in its love for Free Trade, is striving to accomplish. The otrucrele docs not concern Pennsylvania alone; it is of moment to the whole country.. In de funding our own interests, we are dis charging a patriotic duty, for the full and profitable employment of its own labor and the ample protiction and development of its own industries can alone make our natiou prosperous and its citizens a uuited and happy people. Very Respectfully, Joshua Hunt. f Catasaqua, Lehigh county. Pa., . October 15, 1874. Mr. Andrew Johnson, ex-President of the Unites States, is a frank aud outseaking Tennessee Democrat, In a speech at Chattanooga the other night he said that "the bond holders bad already received in interest more than they paid for their bonds," and be advocated "the repudiation of the entire bonded debt of the State and uaiiou." This is plain and straightfor ward. We can easily meet the issue if it be presented in this shape. Un like the inflationists, the ex-President is honest in his dishonesty. In Shreveport, Louisiana, lixtv mer chants have signed an agreement not to employ persons who vote tho Re publican ticket. Republicans, organise. Work, and success will crown yoor efforts. $2 PEK ANNUM. IMPROVE TTIK TIME LEFT. A few days are left to complete lo cal organizations. They should be im proved by making sure that every vote is secure for the day of election. Mass meetings, speeches, processions, noisy political demonstrations are well enough in their place, but they are of less importance than a faithful person al canvass. Now is the time to com plete thia) canvass. Entrust the work to reliable men, men who have the confidence of their neighbors, so that what they say or do may be relied up on. Special efforts should be put forth to see every doubtful voter and im press upon hint the importance of the coming election. There are thousands of good men throughout the country who think tht their absence from the polls will not be felt. Each one says to himcelf, "my vote will not missed"," and thus iu the aggregate enough voles are lost to turn the tide of victory in many closely contested districts. These men should be seen, urged to be at the polls, so that when the bnllot is cast not one vote of this character shall be lost. There is another class of voters equally patriotic, composed of men who would hesitate at no reasonable sacrifice if they deemed it necessary to secure the election of good men, or to save some threatened national in terest. Everv four years they vote for President. rJ he eff years in puliiics have no special interest to them, and so they trust to the popularity of the candidates, or tbe known strength of the party, to secure the election. These men should bo waited upon, and impressed nun the tact that tbe ap proaching election is of no less im portance than s Presidential one. Grave issue hang on tho result. It will Ueciilo the question whether the House of Representatives is to pr.ss into the hands of those who have proven enemies to the Republic, or be retained in the hands of those who have proven its stronrest friendr. To allow the House to pass into Demo cratic hands would be a little short of a national calamity. It is true that with tbe benate Republican and the Executive in sympathy with the loyal element, the House would be powerless to legalize any dangerous legislation. xui is wouia possess tne power to block the wheels of government, to stop all needed legislation, defeat necessary appropriations, aud effectually veto any effort to execute tho laws of the laud against those who Bhould organ ize to defy them. There is no limit to the evils which might flow from the House of Representatives under the control of Democracy. This possible yet not probable danger should be presented to all good citizens, and ev ery man who has the welfare of the nation at heart should be called upon to lend his aid in keeping from the Republic eveu the shadow of so great a danger. The nation's credit, its sys tem of currency, its securities, its good faith as pledged iu its public measures, its honor aud good name both at hr.me and abroad, demand the retention in power of the party that has been loyal to it interests, that saved it from de struction, and that still holds the pow er to guide it safely trough the un known future. TlliS WAV TO WIN. . An hour's quiet talk with a luke warm neighbor will do more to arouse him to an earnest support of the Re publican party thau a dozen stump speeches. Mass-meetings impart en thusiasm to organized bodies aud keep them active iu the good work, but a personal canvass by the right kind of men makes converts and thus adds to party strength. Every towu should have its Republican organizations. Men of character, those who possess the entire confidence of the communi ty, should be the leaders and workers in these organizations. Meetings should be held at least once a week from now uutil the election. A thor ough canvass should be had of the voters in the district. The politics of every man enouid be known, ihis can bo done by subdivisions email enough to enable those appointed to make a complete personal canvass ibe Btrerigth of the party should be known. Every vote should be brought out at the polls. Our leaders should work from now uutil the close of the ballot-box as it the success of the par ty depended on just one vote. This i the way to win great victories. To remain inactive, presuming on the popularity of tbe ticket or the former strength of the party w to mvite de ieai. tvecauuot nave too large a majority, we may through inactivity lack cue vote of a triumph. Organi zation, hard work, devolioc to the good cause for which we labor will crown our efforts with success. The House of Representatives must - be kept iu loyal hands. To lose control of it ia to again expose the life of the deadly assaults of us euemies. It is tbe key to the political position aud must be held by the friends of freedom and humanity. - Rates of AdYertisiM.

A WOBD TO THE WISE. A short time is left for active work. Is it being improved by our friends throughout the country ? Success or failure depends on the answer. Organ ization and work will secare a brilliant victory. To neglect either is to in vite defeat. . Wt have an unscrupulous enemy to deal with. A long series of defeats have made our oppouents des perate, and taught them the necessity of a thorough union of all opposing elements. "Anything to defeat the Republican party" is their motto. To meet these combinations require vigi lance, activity, and organization on our part. Let every loyal man be at his post of duty on the day of elec tion. A. full vote for the Republican ticket secures its triumph, and this means, in plain English, the triumph of luw and order over tbe common ene my of both. At a Democratio State Convention in Texas, a few days since, Colonel French Smith, professing to be tbe moutb-piece of tne Chairman of the Central Committee, said iu a speech before the Conventioi., that he "loved to kill Indians, but would rather kill one negro than two Indians." The sentiment was applauded to the echo. Every single vote helps to swell the Egrcgttte. Republicans remember this, and be sure to be at the polls on the 3d day of November, and deposit vour ballots for the Republican can didates. It all -depeuds on cue's politic down South.
