EDITORIAL LETTER.
.WAsnmorox, Feb. 13, 1888.
DEAR GAZETTE :-—-Thc speech of Senator
Platt, in the Senate, last week, is conceded
to have been the fairest, fullest and most
conclusive handling of President Cleve—
land’s free trade message, that extraordi-
nary document has yet received. It was
calmly and moderately stated, yet is so
full of undeniable facts that the speech
will largely serve as a book of tariff texts
in the coming Presidential campaign. It
is a speech that will command avery wide
reading and cannot fail to establish, in the
mind of every sensible voter, of whatever
party or creed, a belief in the wisdom and
beneficence of the American protective
system and the Senator’s argument grows
upon the mind the more it is intelligently
considered. It ought to be placed in the
hands of every voter in Connecticut and
especially in the hands of every wage
worker. Mr. Platt's quotation of Frank
Hurd’s remark that Mr. Cleveland had
written the platform of his party for this
fall’s Presidential campaign and there
would be no need of further free trade
assistance from the English Cobdcn Club
in the contest, was timely and apt, but his
averment that the wage earners in the two
small states of‘ Connecticut and Rhode
Island own more property than the wage
earners of all the world outside of the
United States, as shown by their owner-
ship in the homes they occupy and their
deposits in the savings bank, was a stagger-
ing and annihilating blow to all the falla—
cies put forth by free trade sophists. He
invited any Senator on the Democratic
side, who did not interpret the President’s
message as a full and unreserved committal
to free trade and aimed at the destruction
of the American system of protection, to
rise in his place and deny it,but not a Dem-
ocratic Senator had the hardihood to rise
in his place and attempt to even qualify
the President's position. The Washington
Republican well says:
"It is impossible to touch any part of
Senator Platt’s speech without firing a
whole train of explosives to rend the Pres-
ident’sBritish system of political economy.”
W'e are glad' to learn the Republican
Club of Mcrideu has sent an order to the
public printer for several thousand copies
of the speech, for gratuitous distribution
among the workingmen and manufacturers
of that city. The same thing ought to be
done by every club in Connecticut.
nousE.
In the House, the dastardly attempt of
the Democratic majority of the committee
on elections to unseat Representative
White, of Indiana, who all acknowledged
was elected, and to seat Judge Lowry who
was not elected, came to an ignominous
end. It is fair to believe that those Dem-
ocrats who joined the solid Republican
vote to prevent the outrage, were actuated
by an honest regard for right and justice
and not from any craveu fear of the dis-
astrous cficct such an act might have in
driving naturalized voters from their ticket
this fall.
The Union and Central Pacific Railroads
have been examined the past Week as to
their ability to refund the government’s
aid to the two corporations. President
Adams appeared for the Union Pacific and
Vice President Huntington for the Central
Pacific, and both gentlemen, in their
views, made very favorable impressions
upon the committee. There are two sides,
involving right and equity, even to these
too much abused and yet wonderful tri—
' umphs of American genius and fortitude.
LOGAN.
The birth-day anniversary of Gen. Logan
was honored by a crowded assemblage at
the National Metropolitan Church, Thurs-
day evening. A memorial tablet was ded-
icated to his memory and is placed beside
that of Gen. Grant, who, with Logan,
were communicants at this church. Sen-
ator Stanford presided, and Justice Miller,
Senators Ingalls and Vorhees and Repre-
sentatives Long, Springer, Henderson and
Reed paid eloquent and touching tributes
to his memory. Mrs. Logan and her chil-
dren and grandchildren occupied seats in
front of the chancel, and an exquisite
marble bust of the swarthy soldier and
statesman, draped in the flag he loved so
well, faced the family and audience.
The birthday of Lincoln was celebrated
last evening by the National League and
eloquent and inspiring addresses made.
MARITIME CONFERENCE.
Senator Frye’s bill authorizing and re~
questing the President to invite the mari—
time powers to a marine conference in
Washington, to begin October 1, 1888, the
purpose of which conference shall be to
.amend the “rule of the road at sea” and
the international code of flag and night
signals, and to discuss other kindred mat-
ters of interest to seamen, will no doubt
become a law.
coxxacricur POSTMASTERS.
The Postmaster-general has appointed
the following named fourth-class post-
masters: James Campbell, at East Hart-
ford; Samuel J. Allen, at Melrose.
SMALL mus.
United States Treasurer Hyatt's circular
sent out to the banks and others, saying that
he is prepared to issue one and two dollar
silver certificates in redemption of mutil-
‘ ated United States notes, proves to have
been good news to brokers and merchants
generally, who have been complaining of
the scarcity of notes of small denomina—
lions.
oua iiononon uoxn syrr.
'l‘reasurcr Hyatt is even more surprised
than are the' mass of intelligent lawyers
at the muddled decision rendered ag. inst
our borough in the called bond case. He
says that all other holders of our bonds
sent them in under the legal will made,
and upon no other special notification
than the usual public advertising of the
same in the papers of the borough. 'Thc
Danbury Savings ban k, and other savings
banks, forwarded the bonds held by them
respectively, and either took their money
or exchanged for the new issue. lle, as
Warden of the borough, did not know
who all the holders were, and thus he
could not particularly notify such holders
as he did chance to know, without acting
unfairly towards unknown holders, and
all custom and usage in such a matter was
to publicly advertise the call, just the
same as the executor or administrator of
an estate advertises for all claimants on
said estate to present their claims or stand
forever debarred, etc. But least of all
could the Bridgeport bank have cause to
set up a want of notification, for the good
reason that weeks before the interest on
their $50,000 of bonds was advertised to
cease, he personally mailed the Peoples’
Savings Bank the following circular letter:
BOROUGH or NORWALK norms.
$175,000.
The Borough of Norwalk will issue One
Hundred and Seventy-FiveBondszof the de-
nomination of One Thousand Dollars each,
either registered or with coupons attached,
interest at the rate of four per cent. per
anuuin, payable semi-annually in each
year. Said Bonds will bear (late July lst,
A. D., 1886, and be redeemable any time
after ten years from their date, and be
absolute] redeemable at the end of forty
years rincipal and interest pavable at
The Fairfield County National auk, in
the Borough of Norwalk. The whole
amount of the Borough indebtedness is
$270,000. Tire Grand List amounts to
about $2,400,000. The abate bonds are
issued by authority of the State of Ccnnec
ticut, under an act of the General Assem—
bly, January session, A. D., 1887, for the
purpose of redeuning the same amount of
Bonds now outstanding and redeemable after
the lat day of July,- A. D., 1886. Sealed
proposals marked, "Borough Bonds,” will
be received for the above bonds, or any
part thereof, by the undersigned, on or
before the lst day of Jane, A. D., 1886,
reserving the right to reject any or all
bids. JAMEs W. HYA'l‘T, Warden,
Borough of Norwalk.
That the bank received this letter is evi—
dent; that it was produced in court with
'under the above title.
the cashier’s figures on the back of it in-
dicating that the bank was contemplating
an exchange of bonds, showing that he-
had been making a calculation as the va-
riations of values between the old and
new issues. Tire further fact that eighteen
days after the interest was stopped as per
the borough advertisement, the bank
brought the Bonds‘as well as the interest
coupons over to Norwalk, with the un—
doubted object of an exchange. In view
of all these facts, the rulings of Judge
Andrews forbidding the showing of cus-
tom and usage in all such cases, where
the law makes no specific provisions for
any other than a public notice of a call of
bonds, and his subsequent demand
that the jury change their first verdict, is,
in the judgment of our cit—Warden, a
. most extraordinary and remarkable exhi-
bition of the justice, or the want of it,
sometimes meted out in our courts.
FARM ANIMALS IN TEE UNITED STATES.
Statician DOdgc, of the Agricultural
Department, in his February report, just
out, gives the aggregate value of all farm
animals in this country at date as $8,000,-
000 more than a year ago, the totals for
cattle being smaller by about $64,000,000,
for sheep a trifle smaller, with increase in
those for horses, mules and swiiic. The
horses repreSent $946,000,000; the mules
$175,000,000; cattle, $978,000,000; swine,
$221,000,000, and sheep, 889,000,000, a
grand aggrepate :of $2,409,000,000 for
these classes of domestic animals on farms
and ranches.

The Tunnel at Libby Prison.
The March - Century will contain the
story of ”Colonel Rose’s Tunnel at Libby
Prison," told by one of the. one hundred
and nine Union officers who escaped on
the night of February 9, 1864. The suc-
cessful construction of this tunnel, dug
from a dark corner of the cellar of the
prison, through fifty feet of solid earth,—
tlic only tools being two broken chisels
and a wooden spitoon in which to carry
out the dirt,-—was one of the most re-
markable incidents'of the war
Colonel Rose, to whose indomitable will
and perseverance the success of the scheme
was due, is now a captain in the 16th
United States Infantry. and of the four-
teen men who assisted him in digging the
tunnel, eleven are still living. The nar—
rative in the March Century, which is
illustrated, forms ose of the untechnical
papers supplementing the War Series, and
it is said to be one of the most romantic
records that the Century has ever printed.

Mr. Blaine Withdraws.
Mr. Blaine has written the following
letter from Florence. Italy, to Chairman
B. F. Jones, of the National ~Repi‘iblicau
Committee, withdrawing his name from
the field as a candi am for the Presidential.
nomination :
Sin—I wish, through you, to state to the
members of the Republican party that my
name will not be presented to the National
Convention called to assemble in Chicago,
in June next for the nomination of entitli-
dates for President and Vice—President of
the United States. '
I am constrained to this decision by
considerations entirely personal to myself,
of which you were advised more than a
year ago. Brit I cannot make the an—
uouucemcnt without giving cxprcssron to
my deep sense of gratitude to the many
thousands of my countrymen who have
sustained me so long and so cordially that
their feeling has seemed to go beyo‘nd the
ordinary political adherence of fellow-
partisans and to partake somewhat of the
nature of personal attachment. For this
most generous loyalty of friendship, I can
make no adequate return, butI shall carry
the memory of it while lit'c lasts.
Nor can I refrain from congratulating
the Republican party upon the cheering
prospects which distingush the opening
of the national contest of 1888, as corn-
pared with that of 1884. In 1882 the Re-
publican party throughout the Uni -n met
with a disastrous defeat. Ten States that
had supported Garfield and Arthur in the
election of 1880 were carried by the Dem-
ocrats either by majorities or pluralities.
The_Republican loss in the Northern elec-
tions compared with the preceding Na-
tional election exceeded half a million
votes, and the electoral votes of the Union,
divided on the basrs of 1882. gave to the
Democrats over 300 electors out of a total
of 401. There was a partial reaction in
favor of the Republicans in the elections
Of 1883, but the Democrats still held pos-
session of seven Northern States, and on
the basis of the year’s contest could show
more than 100 majority in the Electoral
College of the whole country.
But against the discouragement natur-
ally following the adverse elections of these
two years the spirit of the Republican
party in the National contest of 1884 rose
high, and the Republican masses entered
into the campaign with such energy that
the final result depended on the vote of a
single State, and that State was carried by
the Democratic party by aplurality so
small that it represented less than one-
eleventh of 1 per cent. of the entire vote.
The change of a single vote in every two
thousand of the total poll would have
given the State to the Republicans, though
only two years before, the Democratic
plurality exceeded 192,000.
The elections of 1886 and 1887 have de-
monstrated growing strength in the Re—
publican ranks. Seldom in our political
history has a party, defeated in a National
election, rallied immediately with such
No comparison is possible between the
spirit of the party in 1882.3 and its spirit
in 1886-7. The two periods present
simply a contrast—the one of general
depression, the other of enthusiastic
revival. Should the party gain in the
results of 1888 over those of 1886-7 in
anything like the proportion of the gain
of the year 1884 over 18823, it would se—
cure one of the most remarkable victories
of its entire existence. Brit victory does
not depend on so largca ratio of increase;
the party has only to maintain relatively its
prestige of 1887-87 to give to its National
candidate every Northern State but one,
with a far better prospect of carrying that
one than it has had for the past six years.
Another feature of the political situation
should inspire Republicans with irresist-
ablc strength. The present National Ad-
ministration was elected with, if not upon
the repeated assertions of its leading sup-
porters in every protection State that no
issueon the tariff was involved. How-
ever earnestly Republicans urged that
question as the one of controlling impor-
tance in the campaign, they were met by
the Democratic leaders and journals with
persistent invasion, concealment and de-
nial. That resource the President has
fortunately removed. The issue which
the Republicans maintained and the Dem-
ocrats avoided in 1884 has been promi-
nently and specificially brought forward
by the Democratic President, and cannot
be hidden out of sight in 1888.‘ The
country is now in the enjoyment of ‘an Ill-
dustrial system which in a quarter of a
century has assured a larger national
growth, a more rapid accumulation and a
broader distribution of wealth than ever
.before known to history. The American
people will now be openly and formally
asked to decide whether this system shall
be recklessly abandoned and a new
trial he made of an old experiment which
has uniformly led to National embarrass—
ment and widespread individual distress,
on the result of such an issue, fairly pre—
sented to the popular judgment, there is
no room for doubt.
One thing onlyis necessary to assure suc-
cess—complete harmony and cordial co-
operation on the part of all Republicans—on
the part both of those who aspire to lead
and of those' who are eager tofollow.
The duty is not one merely of honorable
devotion to the party whose record and
whose aims are alike great, but it is one
demand by the instinct of self-interest
and by the still higher promptings of pat—
riotisui.
A closer observation of the conditions
of life among the older Nations gives one
a more intense desire that the American
people shall make no mistake in choosing
the policy which inspires labor with hope
and crowns it with dignity. which gives
safety to capital and protects its increase.
which secures political power to every cil-
izcu, comfort and culture to every home.
To this end, not less earnestly and more
directly, as a private citizen than as a pub-
the confident belief that the Administra-
tion of the Government will be restored
to the party which has demonstrated the
purpose and the power of the Republic,
pic. I am very sincerely yours,
JAMES G. BLAINE.

‘ ‘ Wooden Nutmecsfl
The Boston Herald in a nervy and
“breezy” little paragraph, disposes of
Senator Platt’s speech in reply to the Pre-
Sident’s message by saying, “the senator
will look after the wooded nutmeg indus—
try.” The Herald does itself neitlicrcrcdit
nor justice in dismissing the industries of
this state with the sneer of ”wooded nut-
meg.” Brit it is about on a level with a
great deal of the upturned nose at manu-
facturcs by Americans, indulged in by the
auglo—maniac free trade newspapers. The
people of Connecticut have placed Senator
Platt on guard in Washington, in corn—
pany with his colleagues in both houses,
to care for the industries of the state, and
the Herald ought not to need to be told
that they amount to something; that they
are more varied than those of any state in
the union. and that many of them had
their origin in the brains and industry of
Connecticut “Yankees" who had genius
and pluck. “Wooden Nutniegs ?” 'l‘hc
sneer is worthy of the dude Senator Plnft
referred to in his speech. Connecticut is
a manufacturing state surely, and just now
is deeply interested in the attempt of Gro—
vcr Cleveland to swing the country into
line with a free trade policy which shall
give her industries a vital blow.
“Wooden nutmegs '3" When the needs
of the world called fora sewing machine
Bridgeport turned it out, and she has
turned out thousands upon thousands
since. The revolver, an arm that has be-
come as necessary in private life as in scr«
vice, carire from Hartford ; the machine
gun, of more than one pattern, is made
here; the silk industry had its origin in
Mansfield, and the product of silk cloths
in Manchester is one of the recognized
great industries of the country ; the first
spool of cotton. thread exactly adapted to
the sewing machine was made in Willi-
mantic, and nobody knows how many
millions of spools have been wound there
and in the various factories that have
grown out of the originalplant; Danbury
and Nor-walk take the lead in but manu-
facturc, no better scythes are made in the
world than up in Litclificld county; the
Collins axe is as widely known as forests
exist; the finest worsted woollen goods
made in America are woven in Rockville
(but they won’t be long, if relief from free
trade interpretation of law is not granted) ;
the little streams of eastern Connecticut
are lined with manufactories where wool-
cn and cotton goods of the dainticst qual-
ity are made, where silk thread and twist
enouah is made to keep the busy fingers
of millions of seamsti'csses flying. In sil-
vcr and britannia goods Meridcn takes
the lead and the “art goods” in these and
other metals made in that city are not ex-
celled. ‘
“ Wooden nutmegs ?" Why, Connecti-
cut cau carpet the parlors of the states
from Thompsonville, and ftiriiisli coffins
enough to bury the aiiglo-maniac free trad-
ers iri, from the same place, take half the
world to ride in carriages made in New
Haven, ornament your houses with the
finest designs in hardware and your tab-
les with the best cutlery. better than Shef-
field goods, from the New Britain ,shops.
Yes, and Connecticut will furnish any va-
riety of clock made in any one of a half a
dozen by which Tire Boston Herald Man
who sneers at her manufacturers can tell
the exact hour when he will read the news
dispatches on a coming November night
that will send him and all other sneerers
at American industry to the rear; and as
go (I a bedquilt as he ever slept under can

If that isn’t enough we will go over into
the Naugatuck valley and get a shovel
and a hoe big enough and strong enough
to dig the grave of any man who turns up
his nose at the industries of this state.
“Wooden nutmcgs?” Yes, sir; they are
made right here in Hartford,and they sell
for a dollar a piece, and here’s a wager of
a big a one as ever was whittled :out of

ported free trade article if he should see

Messrs. F. J. Cliency&Co.—Gentlemen :
I have been in the general practice of mod-
icine‘for most 40 years, and would say
that in all my practice and experience,
have never seen a preparation that I could
prescribe with as much confidence of suc-
cess as I can-Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manu-
factured by you. Have prescribed it‘ a
great many times and its effect is won-
derful, and wouldsay in conclusion that I
have yet to find a case of Catarrh that it
would not cure, if they would take it ac-
cording to directions.
Yours Truly,
L. L. GORSUCH, M.'D.,
Office, 215 Summit St.
We will give $100 for any case of Ca-
tnrrlr that can not be cured with Hall's
Catarrh Cure. Taken internally. I
