R. U. A. A.! Rak! Russell A. Alger He will get tliere. Gen. Alger comes up like the hero tha be is, and states that he is a candidate tor the pre6idency. Alger and Hawley would sweep the country like a whirl wind. Free trade pure and simple will necessitate direct taxation. Direct taxation nieans one or two per cent. added to the regular tax rolls. Do you want it, friends neighbors, countrymen ? With General Alger for president there will be no división in the republican ranks; no dissention; all will be unftec and victory pure. Give us Alger nd four yenrs will limit the lease of life giren tin deniocracy three years ago. T. M. Weston is evidently not the great aud astute politieian he has been taken to be. It is astonishing how quick a little Hebt pnps out when it has attnined a sufflcient height to let the wind blow on it. A member of one of the largent housea in New York, macufacturins rutiles anc embroideries, says: "I declared in 1883, at a hearing before the cominittee o Ways and Means, at Washington, that il we (lid not obtain a higher duty on einbrokleries, we would transfer the buik ol our manufacturing business to the other side of the Atlantic. The duty remainec] unchaujred, and we have, therefore, establUbcd factories at Calais, France, and Nottitigham, Eng. Wc are gradually becomirig, as far as this country is concerned, an iinporting tirm.'' The freetrader's remedy for this is to reduce wages to the European level. Crimináis and tramps must not be prosecuted In this county, but f a poor colored fellow happens to trade hats in some store, the county can be subjected to a couple of hundred dollars expense to make him prove bis innocence, but tramps can over run the country, terrorize our homes and burn up our property with perfect security to themselves, while the prosecuting officer of the county, whose duly it is to protect the people, sets complacently In his easy chair drawinfC iiddillonal salary for refusing to do nnythinr. No one doubts but that the 40,000 worth of property destroyed on State Street last Friday morning Is a direct result of this do-nothing policy. Those who hav' toiled and worked for years to accumulate a little property may stand and see it swept out of existence, but nothing must be done to unearth the iiend who set the lire to destroy it, lest a tramp is unearthed, and a tramp Is a gacred per9on.
