Democratic fund claims mock election forecast in Ohio

The piece notes a Blaine spin alleging Democrats secured 100 000 in Boston for Ohio with 50 000 from John M Forbes. It mocks Republican estimates in the campaign and marks a sad week for drama, noting Chanfrau’s death and McCullough’s illness threatening his stage career.

Lowell Courier Notes Elastic Hall Crowds Shifting Terms

The Lowell Courier contrasts a Tremont temple as an elastic hall. It recalls Blaine supporters filling it recently as an immense gathering and notes independents filling it similarly on Wednesday evening. The paper seems to flip its view with audience size, yet counts the independent crowd as numerous.

Adams and Long in 19th Century Political Play

The Providence Journal labels John Quincy Adams as constitutionally independent while his rival operates within party constraints. It accuses the party of masking dishonesty, asserts Adams as an honest man, and questions Long's honesty when political advantage temptations arise.

Fourth District Urges Collins Backing Against Butler

The piece argues for Congressman Collins in the fourth district appealing to business leaders and all voters on grounds of his proven sagacity and honesty. It notes Butler’s hostility to Collins and stresses the aim to keep the faithful servant in office to oppose political enemies.

Protective tariff hinders invention and raises costs

A political essay argues that tariffs suppress innovation in protected industries, citing Edward Atkinson's diagram on cotton goods. It notes labor costs fell 1840–1860, then rose with tariffs 1860–1880, while wages rose but purchasing power declined due to higher living costs. The piece contrasts American inventiveness with tariff-driven price levels and calls for rethinking protectionism.

Inventions Decline as Government Bounty Replaces Innovation

The text notes capital reductions from 1840 to 1830 and 1860 to 1880 with declines of 42 and 30 percent respectively. It argues manufacturers cut costs through inventions from 1880 to 1860, but after becoming government wards they ceased inventing, relying on public bounty at the people's expense.

Letter sheds light on Blaine and prohibition dodge

Maine editor writes to a Congregational minister revealing how Blaine planned to vote for the amendment but was counseled by temperance advocates to refrain. The writer, a Republican and Dow ally, distrusts Blaine and argues the clue reinforces Col. Henry Lee’s label of Blaine as a “poor devil” amid distrust from prohibitionists and Ohio Germans.

Elector Seeks Blaine Vote Amid Accusations of Trickery

A Blaine elector in New York asked the Times if he could cast a presidential ballot for James G. Blaine while preserving his integrity. The Times replied negatively, urging resignation. The exchange highlights the elector labeling Blaine a trickster and liar, with no expectation he will vote for him. Authorities emphasize voters would reject such a candidate.
