The crowd in the city from abroad estimated at from 8,000 to 10,000 persons. Judge .West, of Ohio, Z. K. Pangborn, Stephen A. Douglass and J. P. Dolliver made addresses. In the evening a pro- oession of about 2,600 men in uniform and bearing torches moved through the streets amid the booming of cannon, the glare of fireworks and'to the strains of a dozen bands and many drum corps. —The barn oonneoted with the premises of B. M. Beokwitb, Esq., on Brinkerhoff street was completely destroyed by fire on Friday afternoon last. Stored in the barn were artioles belonging to Mr. Beckwit valued at $250, together with several cut- ters and sleighs belonging to Louis Lapoint valued at $300, also two row boats, oonfis- oated from the Bnyders, the fish pirates. The barn was valued at $1,000, and insured for $500. The house narrowly escaped. Also the residence of Mr. Warren Dow, whioh was only saved by men going on the roof and keeping it drenched with water. The Plattsburgh water works work- ed abominably. A Swede fatally Burned, Last Saturday evening a Swede namec John Hugh Maowood, about twenty y of age, who is employed as a section ham on the D. <fc H. railroad, after making som< purchases in Plattsburgh, returned at about ten o'clock and entered the section car house just south of the Cbateaugay depol where he intended to sleep. Somebodj looked the door on the outside. After while he awoke to find his clothing on fire which started from his pipe. The situation was terrible in the extreme-, locked in room alone, and on fire, with no moans to extinguish it. Almost frantio in his dis- pair, by a superhuman effort he burst the look whioh confined him, ran wildly fo; the lake and jumped into the water. Tw< men who wore on the lookout for a tow sa the man and rushed to the spot. They got him out of tfco water and convoyed him to the Lake House, Plattsburgh, where the dootor found him. His olothes were al: entirely burned away, and the flesh on th< hips and in the vicinity was burned in sickening manner. He was placed in bed and made as comfortable as possible, bui death came to his relief on Monday aftei Protective Tariff Not a Tax. It is possible that some are being misled by Democratic misrepresentation regard- ing federal taxation. It is represented that our people are being loaded down with taxes for the sup- port of the general government and the ac- sumulation of hundreds of millions in the treasury. This is absolutely untrue. Our government imposes NO tax upos the people except the Blight income tax on whiskey and tobacco. We pay heavy taxes, but every dollar goes into our state, county, town and corporation treasuries, and iB disbursed for ;he running expense of our state, county, ;own or village governments, and the sup- port of our schools. Not one dollar goes into the national treasury. HOW OUB GOVEBNMBNT IS ffOPPOBTKD. Does any one inquire where the three randred millions or more come from an- nually for the support of the Jpfcneral gov- ernment, the payment of the interest and the reduotion of our national debt, and the pensioning of our soldiers ? We answer that it is levied on England, Ger- many and France, and other foreign oountries, by a Republican proteotiye tariff. On every pound of iron, steel, iron ore, cotton, wool and sugar, on every yard of cotton or woolen goods, and on a thousand other articles imported to this oountry there is levied a duty, and that duty oomes directly from the pockets of the foreign producers. PBOTKOTIVI! TABIFF DOBS NOT INOBEA8B THE COST OF LIVING. Democratic newspapers and stump ora- ators would make it appear that our people are taxed by an increase in the oost of the artioles on* which duties are paid. Indisputable facts prove that THIS is not true. All of our staple artioles, such as iron, wool, ootton, sugar and and other artiolei on which a high duty is paid are oheaper now than they were previous to 1860, under a system of practical free trade, when not one-fourth the amount of duties were col- lected that are now collected. The neces- saries of life are on the average cheaper than they ever were before in this country and much cheaper than they are in free trade England. If there is any increase it in the home produots of our farmers. The steady protection which the Repub- lican tariff affords stimulates and festers home indUBtryfend home competition and thus keeps down prices. Foreigners are compelled to sell their goods in this country at a price whioh after deducting the duties leaves them a very small profit. We are the gainers. We make tb«m pay our taxes and support our government, and > if we happen to get a little more money out of Great Britain and other oountries than Is needed to meet the ourrent expenses, and if there is a surplus in the treasury, i< not a very bad thing. It may come handy on a'rainy day! Is it surprising that English manufac- turers are sending money to this country to help the Democratic party break down our protective tariff ? FBEE TBADE WOULD DOUBLE OUB TAXES. Under free trade, or a low tariff, which amounts to the same thing, all this is changed. The support of the general gov- ernment beoomes a heavy and almost un- eudurable burden. Look at free trade England and her provinces for proof of this fact. Two thirds of her revenue is raised by direot tax upon the people in the form of excise duties, stamp duties, income taxes, land taxes and house taxes. Over. ten millions of dollars are collected from land house taxes and nearly every dollar is taken from poor men. It will be remembered that it was this odius stamp act that goaded our forefathers into open rebellion and ul- timate independence. It was to foroe this legacy of free trade upon us that Great Britain made war upon us then, and it is to force the same legacy upon us now that she is giving aid and comfort to the Demo- oratio party. Direct taxation is the legitimate and in evitable result of free trade. The customs duties of England are im- posed largely upon articles, that oome into this oountry free, like tea and coffee. About thirteen millions of dollars is levied upon tea, and falls directly upon the con- sumers. To show how olosely free trade Demoorats of this country pattern after their free trade masters of England, let us refer to the Morrison bill, not of 1884, but of 1876, for be it known that the makin, of the man Morrison chairman of th< Committee of Ways and Means last winter was no accident nor oversight. His reoord on the tariff question was well known. In 1876, eight years previous, the Demo- orats got control of the House, made him ohatrman of the same committee and he brought in a bill more odiously free trade than that of last winter. It proposed to take twenty-six millions duty off of iron, ootton and wool ohiofiy and plaoe a duty of nineteen millions on tea and coffee. We produce no tea and coffee in this oountry. Hence this duty would oome from the consumer and be a direot tax on the poor man's breakfast table. How is it, readers, DO YOU WANT A CHANGE ? Do you want to swap off the protective tariff of the Bepublioan party whioh makes unwilling England, Franoe, and Germany, support our government, pay the Interest on our publio debt and pension our soldiers, for the Democratic revenue only tariff, which will bring the whol< burden upon tb« shoulders of our people already burdened with taxes for the sup- port of our state, county, town and local institutions f It is for you to answer at the ballot-box STOLEN ! The Democratic managers of this local- ity, in their hand bills for a MasB Meeting, have stolen the Bepublican watch-wordB, 'Protection to American Industries!\ The men who had this printed at the head of the posters did it expressly to deceive the Democrats of this locality. They know that the Democratic party is a FBEE TRADE party, is now, and always has been op- posed to protecting American industry. They know that -the Democratic leader of the last House of Representatives intro- duoed a bill taking every cent of protec- tion off iron ore, and in his speech in Con- ?, on the 15th of last April, in support of his bill, Mr. Morrison used these'words: \IF THE PROTECTIVE POLICY IS TO BE THE POLICY OF THIS GOVERN- MENT, IT WILL BE, AND OUGHT TO BE ENTRUSTED TO ITS FRIENDS, THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.\ See Con- gressional Reoord, of April 17, 1884, page 3267. Mr. Morrison is an honest free trader, and \TOLD THE TRUTH,\ and the light of the truth, 147 Democrats voted to sustain him, while Mr. Randall, who is advertised to speak here, could muster only 41 for protection. The Democratic party of the State of New York stands pledged by an express declaration to remove all protection from the iron industry. See Democratic platform of 1871, which has never been altered or amended. Shame on the men who attempt to de- rive the laboring men of Clinton county ay suoh devices. But what can be expected of those who only four years ago gave their countenance and endorsement to the Morey letter when they knew it was a FORGERY? REPUBLICAN MASS MEETIN6 Crand Parade, , Oct. 28 Rallying for Blaine and Loyan I Again we are compelled to be very brief in our aooonnts of the grand Bepublican rallies that are occurring every night of the week at different points in our county. We must Bay a few words in regard to those that have come more immediately under our notice. A body of 100 Blaine and Logan Guards, in command of Oapt. Geo. Stave and as- sistants, and accompanied by the Platts- burgh Blaine and Logan Glee Club, visited Morrisonville Tuesday night. At the de- pot they were met by 150 Guards from Morrisonvile and West Plattsburgh, most- ly uniformed. Led by the Morrisonvllle Cornet Band, the procession carrying 250 torches, marohed to.the village and throufith the principal streets, making a fine dii play. Emery's Hall was wholly inadequate to accommodate the crowd and twice as many were outside as were enabled to gel in. The meeting was called to order by Mr. C. Turner, and William B. Weaver was called to preside. Hon. Geo. W. Palmer was introduced, and addressed the meeting with his usual ability. At the close of the speech Rev. Mr. Bailey was called upon and made a few very appropriate remarks. The Glee Olub interspersed some ex- oellent music The demonstration was a gnat success every way. The Republicans of that sec- tion are fully aroused and there are con- stant accessions to the ranks of Blaine and Logan. The company of Guards at W< Pittsburgh and West Beekmantown is commanded by F. H. Crozier, with Peter Amore as First Lieutenant and A. J. Vaughan Second Lieutenant. We expect to see both the Morrisonville and West Plattsburgh companies in line in our streets in due time. AT OTBEB POINTS. The demonstration at Beekmantown Cor- ners Saturday night completely distanced the Democratic mass meeting both in numbers and display. The Blaine and Logan Guards were present from State road, under command of Capt. Mooney also the Guards from West Ohazy, aooom panied by the band, and the display was fine. At Plattsburgh the address by Z. K. Pangborn Saturday evening was a masterly effort, commanding universal praise for its clearness and ability. RESOLUTIONS.

On the evening of the 16th inst., Rogers Hall was paoked to^ita utmost oapaoity, t listen to a discussion of the issues of the campaign, by our fellow-townsman, Hon. George Chahoon. Soaroely twenty-four hours' notice was given of the meeting. Had it been otherwise, the hall oould possibly have held the people. Mr. Ohahoon's speech was able, inter, esting and oonvinoing. His handling of the tariff iatue was espeolally so, making the matter so plain that the simplest mind oould dearly understand the s*me. The entire speech «*• one to do credit to any man, and especially to one unaccustomed to public speaking, as is the case with Mr. Ohahoon. It would be difficult for any man to deliver a speech here that would do our people more good than this. NEIGHBORING COUNTIES.
