CAMPAIGN GAZETTE.
Extraordinary lninnemants in Subscribe.
All earnest and generous Republi-
can, who thoroughly believes in his
party principles and candidates and
believes also in the effective influence
of a good, sound, local Republican
paper, has in a spirit of zeal for the
cause, and most commendable liber-
ality, authorized us to make the fol-
lowing extraordinary off'er to any
disposed to subscribe to the GAZETTE
during the pending Presidential
Campaign. He will pay one-half of
every such subscription, so that the
GAZETTE will be furnished from and
after August 1st, to all new subscrib-
ers, until the end of the Campaign
for TWENTY-FIVE CENTS.
Our subscription and mail clerk,
will at once open 9. Campaign Sub-
scription Book, and we hope to see
a host of names placed thereon. This
is a good opportunity also, for any
earnest Republican subscriber, who
approves of protection, to pay in his
Twenty-five Cents, and have the GA-
ZETTE mailed to some voter friend
not able to subscribe.

Our genial associate Mr. Rodemeyer,
has for several weeks been distressingly
afflicted with “rose fever," and on Satul;
day after getting out his Record, had to
succumb and go to his home ill Litchtield
county. The fruits of his quaint and fa-
cile pen will be missed by our readers for
a time, but we hope for his speedy recov-
cry and return to his excellent reportorial
labors on the old GAZETTE.

Norwalk Triumphs.
As we go to press the report reaches us
that Norwalk and Fail-field have won their
cases vs. the Consolidated railroad. Thus
under the decision of the court, the rail-
road company will have to change all its
crossings through Connecticut, entirely at
its own cost, the some as it does in New
York state. If this be true and stands it
will make a difference of a vast sum to
the tax payers of our state.

A Step Downward.
The Mills bill passed the House Satur—
day by a vote of 162 ycas to 149 llays.
Russell of the Norwich district of course
voted nay, while Judge Granger of our
district would have voted yes, as the offi-
cial record states, had he not been paired.
Vance of the Hartford district voted for
it, as did French 0f the New Haven dis-
trict under the juggling bargaining with
Mills, that restored ill the bill, present
duties on sundry Ct. interests that had
been cut down. The narrow majority of
13 is less than had been anticipated, 'but
not too small to awaken a sense
of relief and gratitude that the
Republican Senate will never let the/ruin-
ous measure become a law. It is not
strictly accurate to call this bill a free
trade measure, though Mr. Mills and his
friends gleefully boasted that it was in the
direction of free trade. It assuredly is a
step downwards and towards business
disaster. In is an‘ inconsistent and section-
al bill of the most flagrant character. It
leaves the duty on rice, on sugar, and on
nearly every other industry in which the
Southern States are interested—and re-
morsclessly takes the products of a bun-
dred important Northern lndustries from
the dutiabie schedule and places them on
the free list.
By it the producers of the raw material
will be entirely destroyed and the unnu-
facturers of the finished article seriously
crippled and all the errors and inequalities
of our present tariff, are greatlyiucreased .
Could it become a law every Englishman
would rejoice and every true friend of
American prosperity be saddened. There
is a reduction of nearly twcntyminc mil-
lions‘ou the present tariff rates and $22,-
250,000 put on the absolute free list, for
the benefit of foreign countries and to the
loss of our own. It is the first step to-
ward the absolutely frec trade which Mr.
Cleveland, the solid South and a majority
of his party North, believe ill, and advo-
cate. Could it become a law it would
mean thirty per cent. lower wages to a
majority of our wage earners and no work
for a very large minority. The only cheer.
ful view of its passage is tllat it marks the
certain downfall of the Democratic party
next September.

Industries in Connecticut.
The Hartford Times says :—Thc free
trade scare has no existence outside of
Republican newspapersofiices. Evidently
it has not extended to the manufacturers,
for we have evidence right here ill Con-
necticut that. industries of nearly all
kinds are in no way depressed, and in
some branches business is actually above
the usual average at this dull time of the
year. We find proof of this in the State
exchanges - of the past week, which show
that the manufacturing establishments are
generally starting up on frlll time after the
July inventory and clearing up and re-
pairing. The metal industries are active.
Waterbury is busy, despite the incubus
of the copper trust—a foreign and not an
American burden. The iron industries
are prosperous, and we hear of somelargc
new establishments, including a half-
milliorl plant at. Bridgeport. At Birming-
ham a bolt and nut concern is very busy,
working exclusively on orders, and with
further demands which are exhausting its
stock of manufactured goods on hand.
The malleable iron shop in Mcriden has
started orl ten hours, with very active
business, and at tile great britallnia works,
work has started rlp very favorably. Such
facts as these are significant.
‘Adrnitting the above to be true, how
long would such a state of prosperity
exist, if the Republican U, S. Senate did
not stand, as the Union Army did, to save
the country from the destruction meditat-
cd by Confederate brigadiers.

Yes, you and your kind care very much
because you take your ideas and politics
straight from- the “mother country.”
llonest Americans also care, for the oppo-
site reason. With such fool friends as the
New York Times at home, and the Lon-

AGAINST CLEVELAND.
H. K. Thurber, WfioStonglv Advocated His
Election Four Years Ago, Has Had Enough
and Tells Why—Wage-Earners Must Protect
Themselves.
Four years ago Mr. Horace K. Thurber,
special partner of the firm of Thurber, Why-
land & Co., was, to the surprise of his
friends, a strong advocate of the election of
Grover Cleveland. Today he is as strongly
opposed to him. To a Mail and Express
reporter, who sought an explanation of this
change of front, Mr. Thurber said :
Yes, it is true that I was in favor of Cleve-
land four years ago, and I then gave my
reasons for it. Now, I believe it would be
suicidal to vote for him—0r rather for the
platform which he represents. I would not
vote for my own father if he favored the de-
struction of our American industries. l am
all American and desire orlr country’s best
interests first, last and all the time. I am
no politician, do not want an office and have
no axes to grind. But I anl strongly in
favor of a protective tariff, because I believe
it is for the good of the country and those
who earn their living in it In this contest
it is a question of measures not men. There
is an issue before the country, and it cannot
must not, be dodged, although Cleveland’s
supporters are now trying to do so. The
wage-earners of this country will have to
decide the conflict between themselves and
the wage-earners of Europe. - This conflict
has been precipitated by President Cleve-I
land, and American workmen by their
votes will have to say whether or not they
are willing to submit to a reduction of
wages. ‘ The products of the European mar-
kets can be handed here in ten days, and the
goods can be ordered by cable. Thus they
will be brought in direct and nick compe-
tition with the production of t e American
wage-earner. If the, tariff be reduced,
time and cost of importing [also reduced
through the aid of steam and electricity,
with the carrying tra'de of the ocean in the
hands and under the control of Europe,
what must be the result? A reduction of
the pay to the American workmen in order
to produce the same goods at the same mar-
ket price. Europe, if the tariff be taken off.
will be enabled to convey our raw material
across the ocean, manufacture it abroad and
return it to this country, made up into arti-
cles which we consume, much cheaper- than
we can do it ourselves. The result would
be the stoppage of work here, or the com-
pulsory reduction of wages. Do these
American workmen desire to place them-
selves on the same plane with the poorly
paid workmen of Europe? That would be
the result of the removal of the tariff. I am
desirous for the welfare of the American
workmen before those of any other country,
for his success would be mine and I cannot
see that the Mills bill, which has been eu-
dorsed by the St. Louis Democratic conven-
tion and President Cleveland, will be for
their welfare. I am, therefore, opposed to
it and the President who favors it, notwith-
standing the fact that I supported and voted
for him in 1884. When every European
paper hailed President Cleveland’s message
with delight as tending towards free trade,
it convinced me that it was not for the best
interest of this country that he should be
re-elected. The only way that the wage-
earner of this country can be protected is by
protecting himself with the ballot. If the
American workmen desires that his home
and home comforts shall be on a par with
the impoverished working classes of Europe.
he will vote for free trade, if otllol‘wise, he
will decline to vote for President Cleveland
and the measures which he represents.
-——~—-—<.>—————-——
Grcat headed, great hearted and great
natured Robert Ingersoll in his great speech
at the Republican ratification meeting in
New York, closes ill these eloquent and ad-
mirably fitting words :
And what else ? .This great latform is
in favor of paying—not giving, at paying
—pensions to every man who suffered in
that great war. What would we have said
at the time? What. if the North could
have spoken, would it have said to the lie-
roes of Gettysburg, on the third day ?
“Stand firm! We will empty the treasures
of the nation at your feet.” They had the
courage and the heroism to keep the hosts
of rebellion back without that prtmise, and
is there an American today that can find it
in his heart to begrudge one solitary dollar
that has found its way into the pocket of
a maimed soldier, or into the hands of his
widow or his orphan?
W but would we have offered .to the
sailors under Farragut orl condition that
they would pass Fort St. Phillip and Jack-
son? What would we have offered to the
soldiers _under Grant in the Wilderness ?
What to the followers of Sherman and
Sheridan ? ’
Do you know, I can hardly conceive of a
spirit contemptible euorl ll—and [am not.
now alluding to the Presi ent of the United
States—I can hardly conceive of a spirit
contemptible enough really to desire to keep
a maimed soldier from the bounty of this
nation. It would be a disgrace and a dis-
honor if we allowed them to die in poor-
houses, to drop by life’s highway and to see
their children mourning over their poor
bodies, glorious with scars, maimed into
immortality. I may do a great many bad
things before I die, but I give you my word
that so long as I live I will never vote for
any President that vetoed any pension bill
unless upon its face it was clear that the
man was not a wounded soldier.
What next in this platform?
)rotection of American homes. I am a
liever ill the home. I have said, and I
say again—the hearthstone is the founda-'
tion of the great temple; the fireside is the '
altar where the true American warships. I
believe that the home, the family, is the
unit of good government, and I want
to see the aegis of the great republic over
millions of happy homes. That is all there
is in this world worth living for. Honor,
place, fame, glory, riches—they are ashes,
smoke, dust, disappointment, unless there is
somebody in the world you love, somebody
who loves you; unless there is some place
that you can call home, some place where
you can feel the arms of children about your
neck, some place that is made absolutely
sacred by the love of others.
So I am for this platform. I am for the
election of Harrison and Morton, and al-
though I did nothing toward having them
nominated, because, I tell you, I was for
Gresham, yet I will do as much toward
electing the candidates, within my wer,
as any man who did vote on the wrnning
side.
We have a good ticket,anoble, gallant
soldier at the head; that is enough for me.
Hebis in favor of liberty and rogress. And
you will have for Vice-Presi cut a man that
you know better than I do, but a good,
square, intelligent, generous man: That is
enough for me. And these men are smud-
ing on the best platform that was ever
adopted by the Republican party—a free
ballot, American industry; for the American
policy that has made us the richest and
greatest nation of the globe.

- “ There would be no sense in. urging thera-
flirm wrought by high license in many states
if the national government neutralizes the
good efect by making whiskey within reach
of everyone at twenty cents a gallon.”
The Record gleefully quotes the above
sensible statement as coming from Mr.
Blaine, all oblivious of the fact that if it
were to come to be generally believed that
the Republican party was really for free
rum, all the dissipated elements through
out the country that now go to make up
the democratic majorities, would rush
over to the Republican side. But the
Republican platform would relgatc the
license or no license question to the deci—
lell of the states and if a revenue is to be
derived. give that to the states, to help
repair in part the woeful loss and misery
caused by its use. We should hope to see
it taxed out of existence by every state,
but that is not to be looked for at present
and it is bllt just that the general govern-
ment, which does not now need it, should
- yield up this ninety millions of revenue,
to the states, which do need it.
New York Sum—All honor to Samuel
J. Randall and William [-1. Snowdcu of
Pennsylvania, to Archibald M. Bliss and
Truman A. Merrimau of New York. dem-
ocratic members of Congress. These brave
and true men, believing in the doctrine
of protection for American industry, not
only refused to vote for the Mills bill, but
voted against it yesterday—rill brlt Ran-
dall, who was too ill to be present. It is
a heroic deed to stand up against your
party; and the men who do it at the com-
mand of their convictions are worthy of
the highest praise.

The River and Harbor Bill.
The river and harbor bill as it passed the
house appropriated $19,902,783. As agreed
upon in conference it aggregates $22,277,116,
being a net increase of $2,474,353. The
increase includes $25,000 for the Thames
river, $25,000 for the Housatonic, and $25,-..
000 for Wilson’s Point. It is wondered if
the President will sign it.

A new organization, to be known as the
“Irish American Anti-Free Trade Club,"
composed of nearly 100 men of Irish and
American birth, sprang into existence in
Bridgeport last Wednesday evening under
most flattering circumstances. Several
spirited addresses were delivered by those
present, and ill cveryinstancc the benefi-
cial results derived from protection were
compared with the miseries of free trade.
England received several hot shots illus—
trating its insidious attempts to undermine
the republic, arid its open sympathy with
Democracy and its free trade principles.
The Democratic leaders feel keenly the
loss of these hitherto staunch advocates of
Democracy, and, as every ward in the
city is represented ill the organization,
they openly proclaim the bolt, a bad omen
for Cleveland and his rc-clect-ion.

A Confederate Idea.
[From The New York Sun.)
In the constitution of the confederate
states of America, article 1,, section 8, the
first paragraph reads as follows:
“The congress shall have power—
“To lay and collect taxes, duties, im-
ports and exciscs for revenue neCessary
to pay the debts, previded for the com-
mon defense and to carry on the govern-
ment of the confederate states: but no
bountics shall be granted from the trgas-
ury; nor shall any duties or taxes on im-
portations from foreign nations be laid to
promote or foster any branch of industry;
and all duties, imposts and excises shall
be uniform throughout the confederate
states."
This is free" trade pure and simple; and
many of the gentlemen who framed and
supported the confederate constitution,
having become influential in the house of
representatives, they have naturally en.-
deavored in the Mills lurid bill, to apply
as far as they found practicable under the
different circumstances in which they are
now placed, the same idea which anima-
ted them in drawing up the constitutional
clause which we have just quoted.
We have a high regard for the gallantry
the fidelity to conviction, and the gentle-
manly honor of theconfedcrate brigadicrs.
Brit their wisdom as statesmen is not al.
ways faultless, and in their treatment of
the northern democracy we fear their
hand has been too heavy and their spurs
too sharp. "
Some Thoughts for Workinmen.
The following from the Democratic N.
Y. Sun should be read and pondered by
every laboring man :—
“Grcat Britain has ruined every country
in the world which she has persuaded, or
forced into free trade. Her commercial
treaties, cozencd out of Portugal, Spam
and Turkey, destroyed the industries of
each of those countries, and made them
poor. Are cheap goods crushed out the
ancient household manufactorics of the
Indian empire,:which she overrun, and
left millions of the conquered people with
the bare subsistence of rice and water,
aBritisll army of invasion forced China
to admit into her territory the opium
which British merchants could market
only in that empire, and the entry through
the clistom house of China of British mer-
chandise at the destructive duty of two
pence advalorem. It was the massacre of
the industry of a magnificent and vener-
able emplrc, and of countless thousands
of poor Chinese men, women and children.
These cheap goods pirates in like manner
covered Japan with the guns of their war
ships, and compelled her to receive the
flimsey products of Birmingham, Mau-
chestcr, and Sheffield at the uniform duty
of five per cent. advalorem. This is free
trade and it is strangling the life out of
hel less Japan.
he experience of Ireland is too well
known to need special mention here.
Eugfand, indeed, is the commercial 'pi-
rate of the world. She is now straining
her utmost to rob the United States of its
industries and get control of our markets.
If she succeeds, every workingman and
workingwomeu in this country will be
brought to comparitive poverty. You
can’t help losing the high wages you now
receive. If you retain any work at all
against the competition of the pauper paid
labor of England, you will be compelled
by that competition to accept as wages
precisely that pauper pay.
Then perhaps you will love England
more than you do now.
The President the other day cruelly
vetoed a special bill peusIOning Mary Fitz-
morris. And the ground on which be
based his objection was the fact that Mary
Fitzmorris had already been granted a
pension by the pension bureau. Never-
theless the veto serves the republican pur-
pose of illustrating President Cleveland’s
”brutal hostility” to soldiers’ widows.—
Record. .
That is just exactly .what it does.
Whenever our "mental, moral and physi—
cal wreck” Pension Commissioner, sees
that an applicant for a pension before his
office has applied to Congress for relief
from eitlieralnjust action, or no action at
all, by the said Commissioner, who swore
himself into the receipt of a pension of
$100 a mouth, the said Commissioner at
once calls up such case and hurries it‘
through so as to get in ahead of Congress
and thus work a despicable practical joke
on one of the most serious subjects affect-
ing a patriot’s interests.

What In Behind The Kill- Bill 1’
[From The Rochester Post-EspressJ
The Mills bill would not rise to tile dig-
nity of a political issue if it were not for
the fact that behind itlics the question
whether the free trade revenue system is
to supersede the protection revenue 5 rs-
tcm. Among Democrats who believe in
such a change the only difference of opin-
ion is in regard to the method of making
it. Shall it be done gradually, or boldly
and abruptly? Though favoring the
change, we are afraid that, whether made
gradually or abruptly, it cannot be made,
as some politicians imagine, without
serious business revolution and possible
disaster. In this respect tariff reform is
like the resumption of specie payment;
and we doubt if the protective system
established by the Republican party can
be overturned at much less cost in the
way of financial panic and commercial
ruin than the irredeemablc paper money
system established by the same party.
