The last Plattsburgh Republican contains an abusive attaok upon the temperanoe people and clergymen of Pittsburgh who will not throw away their vote* by sup- porting St. John. It denominates the course of all such as \temperance inconsistency.\ Supposing this is correct, wkat is the attitude of the Republican and its temper- ance editors, who for years past ^ insisted that their paper was the omly sj- mon pure, true blue, boiled dowa and run- ning over temperance organ ia Clinton oounty? What are they doing now F Work, ing for St. John? Not much to speak of 1 Shouting at the top of their voices for Gro- ver Cleveland! 'Temperance inconsistency\ does not ex aotly cover their case! It is more properl; emperance duplicity ! They went into th temperance movement iimply for political ends, tho same as they engaged in the anti- bribery scheme, only to drop it when the itereata of their party required it. The temperance people and ministers quite generally aeem to have a pretty clear understanding of the situation. They rec- ognize the fact that to vote for St. John is practically aiding Cleveland, and that io Btriotly moral man, particularly a min- ister of the Gospel, oan consistently give his aid, directly, or indireotly, to elevate t he Presidency of the United States a nu of woll-known grossly immoral character. Since the real character of Cleveland beoome known nearly the entire religious presB of the country has deolared against him in the most earnest manner. Included in tho number are many that were previ- ously in favor of Cleveland, like the York Independent and the Christian Union. Also the Congregationalifit, St. Mary's sUtute Journal, and the VatfioUc Universe. These papers now declare that the attempt to elect Cleveland is an insult to the relig- ious world and the moral sentiment of the oountry. Yes, the religious people of the country Beem to dearly understand that there are other vices and crimes than intemperance bhat threaten sooie+.y, the family and the reside, and they do not propose to give such vices and orimeB^ their countenance y aiding to elect Grover Cleveland. They are not responsible for Cleveland's nomin- tion, but they are reapoaible for the uanner in whioh they vote, and recog- ize the fact that the only way to defeat Cleveland is to vote for Biaine, whioh they retty generally intend to do. The Re- ublican seems to realize this fact, and that is what makes it so spiteful. Butlaying all these considerations one side, i'f any minister of the Gospel, or Pro- ibitionist, for purely politioal reasons pi Fers to support and vote for either the Re- ublican or Demooratio candidate for Pres- dent rather than St. John, it is no reason /hat he should be singled out as a subject )f publio ridicule. . -*.#.*. .

Having from week to week given an a count of the progress of the Republican oampaign in Clinton County, we will no devote a little attention to the other side, First, we call attention to one marked contrast between the Republican and Dem- ocratio campaign speeches that have been delivered at various points. While the Re- publican speakers have dwelt almost ex- clusively on great national questions oi politioal economy, like the protective tariff, the Democratic speakers have given nearly their exclusive attention to personal slander. Democrats who have attended our meetings will oonoede this. Right here we ask this question : If the Demooratio party is sound on the tari: question, why have all of their speakers, save one, evaded a discussion of that ques- tion? The speaker to whom we refer is Hon. Smith, M. Weed, and we will now prooeed to show that every utterance he has made on the question is either utterly ab- surd or is an unanswerable argument ii favor of supporting\he Republican party. In doing this, we cannot justly be ac- cused of singling out Mr. Weed as a speoial objeot of criticiim. Early in the oampaign he allowed himself to be drawn into the breach whioh the Republican party is making in the ranks of protectionist Demo- orats in this oounty. A month or more ago he made a speech at the City Rink, ar- raying himself, AS HE ALWAYS HAS CONE, OX the side of the Democracy. September 20th, his speeoh was printed in the Platta- bnrgh Republican, from whioh we make the following extract, and whioh we an pleased to pronoun oe r BOUND BBPtTBUOAH ABGUMKHT, showing that a protective tariff proteots the laboring man. Hi*. Weed said: TOT IBON OmEBSSTB. Let us look at the matter more in detail. Let ifs take iron ore, for I am more famil- iar with that. A ton of ore sells upon the dock here for #2.75. How is it raised, and wjbat does it oost to get it at the dock The miner gets from $1.25 to $1.75 a day. The seiners of Spain and England get from 40 tofeO oents a day. The railroad man gets his pay, and very muoh morn than the railroad man gets in Europe. The boat- man carries it to market afid gets as freight twice what the water eetrie* gets in England and Spate, s o thai when i t fa* to the furnace, the 26 or 50 cant* it was worth in the ground, is the only item of value in the ore except what cornea from the labor of the American workmen. Now suppose the labor of the miner was worth only 50 cents, that ore oould then be sold for one-, half what it is now at a larger profit to the owner. So you see gentlemen, that in the absence of a tariff, we would, having to oompete with foreign iron ore producers who pay 50 cents for a day's work, either be obliged to shut down the mines, or the American citizen would have to work for his 50 cents a day. This the American la- borer will never do, and he never ought to work for that amount. The consequence would be that the American mines would be shut down. The tariff on ore proteofs the difference in wages of the miner and permits the mine owner to pay the wi and operate his mine. You see that w the tariff proteots in name the ore, it really proteots labor, of which the value of ore mainly consists, and s o it is of all manu- factured artioles. It will be observed that Mr. Weed frankly states that if the duty were taken off iron ore.i our miners, including, of oourse, the miners at Bogersfleld, Saranao, Arnold Hill, Moriab, and other mining re- gions would be oompelled to work for 50 oents a day, if they worked at all. Now let us see what the Demooratio party undertook to do in the last Congress. On the 4th of February last, William R. Morrison, the Democratic Chairman of a Demooratio Committee of Ways and Means, appointed by a Demooratio speaker, Mr. Carlisle, elected by a Demooratio Honse of Representatives, introduced what is well known as the Morrison bill, which TOOK SVEBT PABTICLS OF DOTY Off IBON OBS. See Congressional Record, House BUI 4416. Mr. Morrison was the Chairman of the Committee on resolutions at the Chicago Convention that nominated Cleveland, and reported its platform! On the 11th of March the bill was re- ported back by the Committee of Ways and Means, with some amendments. A com- promise had been effected on ores and >ther metals, by whioh they were subject to a horizontal reduotion of 20 per oent. This, according to Mr. Weed's own argu ment, means a like redaction in the wages of laboring men. On the 6th of May this bill was brought A> a vote in the House of Representatives, 1 came within 6 votes of receiving a s jority. Of the 151 votes for the bill ALL WEBK DXMOOBATS BUT rous. Of the 156 to kill the bill all were Republicans bat 41— LI Democrats in favor of protecting ore, 147 Democrats against it. 147 Demooratio law makers in favor of reducing the wages of miners; only 41 Demooratio law makers against it. Out of a vote of 115 Republi- I law makers, only 4 in favor of reduoing the wages, and 111 against Thus it will be seen that the Demooratio party in the hut House of Representatives overwhelmingly in favor of reduoing the duty on ore 20 per oent, whloh Mr. Weed knows is a long step towards free trade, while the ohairman, who reported the Democratic platform of 1884, was in favor of abolishing the duty altogether. The Demooraoy practically reoorded itself for free trade in iron ore and 50 cents a while trade, why does Mr. Weed support it?\ w< are asked. We give it up! There ar< some things that nobody oan tell! It now generally conceded that the Demi oratio platform of 1880 was practically FBI TBADE. For proof of this fact see Platts- burgh Republican of January 19th, 1884, in whioh it devotes a whole oolumn o figures to show that the Demooratio tariff plank of 1880 was \unsound and carrie to its legitimate results would prostrate the manufacturing industries of thU oountry. Now, if any one will explain to us wh Smith M. Weed endorsed the Demoorati\ platform of 1880, which his organ, the Re pubUean, now pronounces free trade an< unsound, and why he then wrote letters an< made speeches in favor ot fianoock an< \revenue only,\ then we will tell why h< is doing the same thing now. A FALLACIOUS ARGUMENT. Mr. Weed's principal argument in 1880 was the same that it is now, viz: \That our oountry has to raise so many millions of revenue, that it will be impossible to have free trade for fifty years to come. How about iron ore? Mr. Morrison, and 147 out of 188 Demooretio Representativ in Congress, did not propose to wait fifty years. They proposed to make it free NOW, and if it had not been for the few Republicans in Congress, they would have done it. The simple faot is that the amount of revenue raised has nothing to do with the question of a proteotive tariff. England is notoriously a free trade country, but she raises a larger revenue than we do. How does she do it ? 1st. By imposing hea 1 duties on tea and coffee and other artioles not of home production, thus enhancing their value and entailing a direct tax upon the necessities of life, and grinding down the poor people who work in the mines for 60 cents a day. This would be precisely the condition ol laboring men of Otis oountry, if the Mor- rison-Oarlisle-free-trade Demooratio party ever gets control of our government. W warn the laboring men of the Saranao val- ley, the valley of the Auwble, and the great mines of Moriah and elsewhere to FBOTBOT THSXB OWN tNTBBJtSTS WHILB THEY HA 1 OPPOBTUNITY. A reduotion of the tariff a reduction of wages. According to Mr. Weed's own admission, it is the labor- ing man that has to suffer. Yon will then be offered that alternative whioh he pre- sents, \work for 50 cents a day, or we will shut down oar works!\ KRIOXB UKDIB BIPUBMOAN AND DEMOCRAT* ASKINISTBATXONS. In his speech at the Rink Monday even, ing Mr. Weed had the presumption to ft»- Mrttnattheories o*meet of our staple articles are amah higher now thaninl8«a. If this were true, it would be more than compensated by an increase of wages, whioh in most pursuits is doubled.. Bat it is z tone. In a great variety of articles the price has been greatly reduoed. Take fo instance iron and steel, and the great va- riety of artioles produced therefrom, am which enter so largely into family expenses. There is sot an article sold in oar hard- ware stores to-day that is not cheaper than it was before the war, from a log chain down to a pocket knife 1 Iron rails, which are important in afford- >g facilities for transportation, oould be bought b*fore the way for less than sixty dollars a ton. Now (he best steel rails oaa be bought for lea* tkut thirty dollars. Tea and eoffee are dheaper to-day under Republican protection than they went in 1860 under free trade. Sugar, whioh is very highly proteoted, is quite as cheap to-day as it was in 1860. The retail prices now range in Plattsburgh from 6 to 8£ oents per pound. You can get a better artiole of sugar to-day for oents than could be found in the market in 1860 for any price. , When it comes to cotton goods, whether bleached, unbleached, ticKB.or calicos, the prices range from one-fourth to one-third >88 than in 1860. All woolen goods, including oassimeres, flannels, worsteds, blankets and carpets are oheaper than in 1860, under Demo- oratio free trade and low wages. Every housewife knows that there never was a time in her life when she oould buy a woolen carpet at so low a price as this »ar. We might illustrate with equal clearness the absurdities of Mr. Weed's position on other points touohing the tariff, if space would permit. Bat we think enough has B been said to show that he is not a safe guide for the poor and laboring n ollow in this emergency. He may be able to see reasons why it is for hi* interest to support Cleveland in this oampaign, but e cannot give one solitary reason why any who works for his daily bread should o so. On the contrary, if there ever WSB a time when laboring men should read, tijink, aot for themselves, and vote as their day for labor I A CONUNDBUM. •If the Demooratio party is for free own good sense and judgment dictates, now is the time ! KB. ABBETT' B BPSKOH. Mr. Abbett, of New York, was the prin- cipal speaker at the Rink Monday evening. Like his predecessor, Mr. Stetson, he gave ohief attention to the Mulligan letters, whioh the people care just about as much it as a last year's almanac like his pre- decessor he dodged the tariff question chiefly, and like his predecessor referred i hearers to Smith M. Weedl Having ae so let us refer to a oouple of state- ments made by Mr. Weed whioh we ought have mentioned above. He stated that \it is not the tariff, but the adjustment of i tariff that protect* industry.\ Here again he thoughtlessly preaches sound Re- publican doctrine and knocks his own ar- guments \higher than a kite.\ You oan have a very high tariff and raise a very Urge revenue, and yet so \adjust ii\ as to have it practically free trade. So it will be seen that the \millions of revenue\ that we must raise for the next \fifty years\ has nothing to do with protection, and his main argument that the tariff question is a \fraud and a humbug\ falls to the ground. Furthermore, he also asserted \that the tariff has nothing to do with hard times.** Democratic stump speakers please make • note of this! If this is so, why change tbe tariff? To return to Mr. Abbett, he did find time to read the Democratic and Republi- can tariff planks side by side, but unfor- tunately for his reputation it was the- same garbled platform that the Republican undertook to palm off on its readers two weeks ago with the free trade part inten- tionally left out! This looks very much as though this piece of deception was be- ing practiced all over the country, not only through the press, but by the stump speakers who are being sent out with their instructions from Demooratlo head*, quarters. BEAR HUIfTlNO NBAB F BUHCII17 i Last Monday morning, the family o f Alexander Weir, residing a mile ox more, north-west of Plattsburgh, adjoining fib* premises of William Walsh, were aroused from their slumbers by the loud barking of their dog. Mr. Weir and his son William going out into the yard, discovered a hogs bear only a few rods distant Procuring a shot gun from the honse, William bang. ed away, and the bear beat a retreat, ap- parently uninjured. As they retraced their steps they discovered another bear in the- fork of a tree about fifteen feet from the ground. This time procuring a rifle, Will- iam took deliberate aim, and the first ehoV brought the bear to the ground. It proved to be a cub, weighing about eighty pound*, and the tender meat furnished a royal r«- ' past for neighbors and friends. This ended the morning hunt, the news, of which spread rapidly through PJtffc* burgh, and by mid day probably fifty sportsmen were in pursuit of the escaped bruin who was hiding around ia the adjoin- ing wood* At about four o'clock th«oS& bear put in an appearance about seventy rods from the garden of Mr. William Wak&. Walter and Perley Squires, of Plattstrargfc, were dose upon the trail. As they ap . proaohed within a short distance, the bear t raised herself upon her hind legs ready tW' : a fight, when Perley took a careful at * v and fired.
