Political platforms says the New
Yoik World have evidently not as
much influence as they ought to have
on the employers of iron-v.oikers. The
fact that the capitalists conclude that it
is better to shut down their mills than
continue production at (resent prices s
anything but an aid to the high-tariff
principles set foith in the Republican
prjnunciamenio begotten at Chicago.
Without entering into the tariff agN
tation at all, manufacturers of experi
ence will, if they are honest, acknowl
edge that they have passed through de
pressions such as now exist with which
reductions in the tariff had nothing to
do. These depressions have in two
marked instances since the close of the
war thrown hundreds of thousands of
men out of employment. They have
also caused losses to capitalists through
glutting the market with a product
which must be consumed at home or
only exported at a great loss. But the
workingmen in the seasons of shutting
down are the greater sufferers.
The proprietors may sustain some
loss, but when wages cease the wage
earners lose all that they are accustomed
to depend upon. The cost, time consid
ered, of finding new employment, or
perhaps of learning a Dew trade, more
than counterbalances, all things con
sidered, any excess over common wages
they may have received. We 5o not
hear that such men as Mr. Carnegie are
overcome by the change in the tide.
They can shut down, unless they have
beeu very imprudent, without anything
worse thau the mere loss of Interest on
plant. Let wage-earners think who are
the main beneficiaries by the high du
ties on iron, remembering all the time
that competition for labor, imported or
otherwise, depends upon the supply aud
not upon trie tariff.
A rRonrr.iTORY tariff does not pro
tect but instead is an oppression. The
Mills bill, now proposed by the Demo
crats levies 40 per cent, tariff duties.
which is 12 per cent, more than the
Morriil tariff imposed in 1SC1 which
was distinctly a protective tariff, yet
the monopolists complain that it I a
free trade measure. The fact of the
matter is that dnring the war, owing to
the necessities of the government the
tariff was raised away above a protec
tive basis and has enabled the monopo
lists to pile up fortunes at the expense
of the people. They are loth to part
with a measure that enables them to
rob the people and if the cry of "free
trade" will continue it a few years
longer they will bellow It for all it is
worth. It may catch a few unwary,
but thinking people who are taxed to
help them along will conclude that 40
per cent, ought to be enough.
A few years ago, says the Philadel
phia Jlerald when Congress was about
to break down the American quinine
monopoly, the high-protectionist sheets
claimed that Philaaeiphia's great chem
ical works would be ruined. The qui
nine manufacturers, however, continue
to do business at the old stand, but the
suffering poor no longer have to pay
from ?2.ii0 to 54 an ounce for the medi
cine that now sells for less than one
fourth of these figures.
TnE Inter S:ate Commerce Commis
sion has been informed that the Chicago
& St. Paul railroad has adopted rates
between Chicago and St. Paul which are
less than the rate from those cities to

ter investigating the matter, the com
mission veaches the conclusion that it ia
a prima facie violation of the long and
short haul section, and has decided to In
vestigate the matter in Dubuque, Iowa.
The sessions will open in that city on

General Rosecrans is authority
for the statement that Harrison's record
on the Chinese question will swing
California into tht Cleveland column.
"People outside the State." he says,

from the Celestials. If Harrison has
any hopes of carrying the Slate be may

Tn?s farmeis iu the country are ask

protection protects them. Everything

The Cnicao JItrald remarks that
"Pennsylvania is said to have been the
first State to break wer the old and
well established custom or hanging
murderers only on Friday. Many other
States, Illinois included, now depart
from it. There never was any good
reason for it, anyway, and as there are
few States that do not need a hanging
every day in the week, it is well to do
away with it altonether."

The Logic of Facts.
The eld school of political econom
ists is still aiguing how prosperous this
country bas been because of its high
tariff. This is the style of reasoning in
dulged before Bacon's time. Having a
theory well prepared, facts are fitted in
to it wherever found, and those that
will not fit are discarded as useless. The
modern method of reasoning goes on
the principle of securing facts wbere
ever they can be vended and accepeting
the logical conclusion. This method
applied to the doctrine of protection as
preached in this country leads to the
inevitable conclusion that the country
has prospered in spite of the war tariff,
not becau.se of it.
Germanv has a high tariff and its
people are most economical and philo
sophical race. Still it aoes not prosper.
Spain has its tariff and its depression.
Russia has a very high tariff, but gov
ernment and people are alike poor.
England bas tree trade and is the most
prosperous of the nations named.
Fiance bas a moderate tariff and while
recovering from a great war debt is still
prosperous. The average of wages in
England is 20 per cent, greater than in
France. 40 per cent, greater thau in Ger
many and more than double that of
Russia.
The Russian tariff is greater than that
of the United States, and It is the only
one of the European powers in which
conditions are similar to those existing
in this country, in that it has vast un
developed resources and practically un
settled tracts of land. Every industry
is protected to the point of prohibition,
and few articles of commerce produced
in ltuasia are imported. But Russia is
bankrupt. Her treasury is empty and
bei national debt increasing. Her peo
ple are paupers, groveling in the depths
of misery and poverty. The reason is
not far to seek. The mass of the peo
ple are uneducated and terrorized by an
autocratic government. Their methods
of production are crude and faulty ; their
incentives to effort few and far between.
A huge standing army takes the b-st
brains and brawn of the country from
the pursuits of peace aud progress and
eats up all the production of the people.
Germany bears its burden of taxation
because of the intelligence and thrift of
its people, who make the utmost of
everything they have. But with the
taxation burden removed their progress
would be wonderful. The German gov
ernment does not tax the people purely
on the theory of'protecton, but because
the revenues are needed to maintain the
pomp and circumstance of war in time
of peace. France thrives under a mod
erate tariff, because the people are in
dustiious and intelligent and the
country fertile. The system is that of
a tariff for revenue only, for France,
like its neighbors, supports a drain on
its resourseb in the shape of a bie
standing army, and bas been paying off
a huge war indemnity to Germany.
England buffers equally with the
other European powers in the mainte
nace of a non-productive and consuming
army and navy. Its territory is limited,
and it is a great importer of ciude ma
terials from "protected" countries, yet
its mills and factories pay the highest
wages. Its internal taxes on necessa
ries in the absence of tariff duties are
burdensome because of the enormous
expense ot the Government.
The United States has intelligent pop
ulation, wonderful natural resources.
improved appliances and everything
favorable to cheap production. There
is no burdensome standing army or
royal revenues to provide for. It would
be aurprisir.g if the country did noc
prcsper. But it prospers in spite of the
high tariff, not because of it.
The enormous revenues of our present
onerous system of taxation lead to an
unequal distribution of the fruits of in
hered prosperity, because the burden of
taxation falls on one portion of the peo
ple and the enhanced profits of protected
industries redound to the benefit of an
other atd much smaller class. Ib the
nature of the case this small benefited
class combines to perpetuate the system
and to increase its features of special
favor, while the great mass struggles
and grinds itself poorer.
What is an ted now, and contempla
ted by the Democratic party, is not free
trade, but a reduction and equalization
of the burden of taxation. A system
that will not perpetually cause the rich
to grow richer and the poor poorer, un
til society is divided into clashes with
no feelings or instincts in common, and-!
tne uea or government or, by and for
the people becomes an impossibility be
cause or the duality and seperate inter
ests of those people. Such revision and
equalization of the tariff is a necessity,
and as the party guaranteeing such re
form the Democracy is certain of suc
cess. PiUslurg Post.
I he Republican Crime.
The conduct or the Republican cam
paign is an outrage on the American
people, insulting to their intelligence
and detrimental to their prosperity.
The only hope or the opposition party
lies in creating stringency, distress and
apprehension, so that the ignorant, cre
dulous and timid may think it for their
interest to vote for the return to Feder
al power of the men and methods they
rejected four years ago. after a long
endurance of the eyiis they brought
upon the country.
To cause and continue business and
industrial embarassments the Republi
can managers rely on the constant accu
mulation as surplus in the Treasury of
money needed in the channels of indus
try and trade. They count on the
paralyzing effect of a prolonged uncer
tainty respecting legislation to regulate
taxation and finance. The hope to
tire out the country by dull times and
to turn the resulting discontent to par
tisan account. Hence they persist :n a
policy or obstruct ion to Democratic
propositions for tax reform and surplus
reduction, and think that the people
will blame the Administration for th
evils Its opponents have recklessly
created and unscrupu!cusly prolonged
From the hour of his inauguration
down to his last public utterance in the
admirable Fourth or July letter to Tam
mauy Hail, President Cleveland has
never failed in the duty or pointing out
the dangers tnat threaten us and plain
ly etatlng the measures necessary to
avert them, while the Republican party
has never ceased to coort disaster in or
der that it might profit by it.
The Republican theories are not in
tended to mt the condition that con
fronts us. They were not contrived to
he'p the people or increase the prosper
ity of the land. They were devised and
are propagated ouiy to spread a falso
belief that the Democracy desires to
accomplish that whicn njone advocates
ana to wnicn Uimocratlc resolutions
and bills are opposed. The President,
who always speaks the right word in
the right time, has done a patriotic ser
vice in denouncing the falsehood that
Democratic industrial reform means free
trade. Tne falsification is, it ia true, a
most daring and transparent one 'in
view of the labor protective declara
tions of Cleveland's annual message and
of the fact that the tariff contemplated
iuh juiis uni m one or 40 per cent.
Bnt flagrantly untrue as the assertion
oi me i..epuoi:ctiS is. it is their only
stock in trade. It U the false coin the
political counteifiiers are trying to pass
upou the people or the country, and
right well has the President done to nail
it to the counter.
Very deaily have the people already
paid for the ciruiiual course or the Re
publicans. Mauy are the artisans now
unemployed, the factories closed r,i
I the enterpiises languishing that would
j Lave Ueii factors ia the sum cf tational
prosperity had the Republican obstruc
tionists given beed to the monitions of
Cleveland and the warnings of Man
ning, or even regarded in the least de
gree their own solemn pledges of the
past,wblch they now flout and disown.
The crime is a grave one snd griev
ous is the mischief already wrought.
It in high time for every Democrat to do
all that in him lies to end the evil con
dition straightway. Let the Democrat
ic House hasten the passage of the bill
to reduce taxation and to kill the sur
plus. It is no time for fine spun courte
sies. Duty is too pressing. Let the
Senate have the bill to deal with,
stamped with - the approval of. the
House, and let the Republican Senators
have the responsibility of saying what
they will do with it. That all the Re
publican Senators will obstinately re
fuse any relief to the people we are not
yet prepared to believe, if they do so
refuse, then will the guilt of the great
crime of the Republican party be fast
ened so clearly upon it that the people
will rurely rise up and inflict a mighty
punishment at the national election.

The Country's Seeds.
If the politicians would stop their war
cries long enough to study the real needs
of the country they might find better
material for their campaign tracts than
now fills the sheets sent out broadcast
over the land. Here is a man with stout
lungs crying out for "protection to
home manufactures," when anyone not
wholly blind ought to be able co see
that what manufactures need most is a
wider market. There is not a leading
industry in the United States that can
not under a very moderate tariff com
pete successfully on our soil with any
foreign producer of similar goods if the
home demand is large enough to ex
haust Us capacity. It Is not more pro
tection but more customers that is the
crying want of the American producers
of all classes. The common theory of
the high tariff politician Li that the
American fabrlcant, owing to higher
rates of interest, a greater outlay for
wes and a more conscientious atten
tion to the quality of bis product is shut
out of our markets, and is compelled to
see the foreign substitute made abroad
under cheaper conditions by half-starved
operatives take the place of the home
made goods. The truth is that when
ever aa American manufacturer of
desirable goods bas come to grief, it has
been because our markets have been
glutted bv over production and domes
tic competition, and he has found no
relief in a demand for export. The
moment anything the product of human
ingenuity is wanted in this country
there are found ecterpnsing fabricants
enough to produce it. If no more Is
made than consumers demand the busi
ness is profitable and the industry is
amply rewarded. liut the great peculi
arity of American enterprise is a mad
propensity to overdo anything that holds
out a promise of profit. If our people
are celebrated for ingenious inventions,
they are still more remarkable for an
Insane desire to seize for their own ad
vantage whatever another has found
profitable. The over production which
has brought so many corporations and
capitalists to grief is seen and acknowl
edged, but the remedy is sought for in
the wrong direction. The usual course
is to combine the competitors irto a
trust or syndicate or pool, and to limit
the output of the industry. Artificial
prices are thus created and maintained,
to the disadvantage of consumers and
to the ultimate Injury of the producers
themselves. The true solntion of the
difficulty Is not a curtailment of the
supply, but an enlargement of the de
mard. Not fewer goods, but more peo
ple to buy, is the real need cf the mar
ket. It is not "protection" in making
goods at higher prices than thij country
teeeds, but a wider market for Us
varied products and manufactures.
There are some 300,000.000 of adults in
the world outside of ot this country who
are buying to some extent of such pro
duce and merchandise as can be supplied
trom our fields and factories. Why
should we let so many of our fertile
acres lie barren, and work our factories
on half time, and wait for these custom
ers to get tired of trading v 1th our com
petitors or other lands ? Does anyone

In his speech of acceptance Gen.
Harrison made tbe assertion that the
principles enunciated by tbe Republican
platform are in harmony with his per
soual convictions. This declaration
came not a moment too soon. But a
few years ago Gen. Harrison favored a
thorough revision of the tariff, which
the platform opposes, and he firmly
believed that whinkey should be about
tbe last article from which the tax
should be removed, while the platform
practically says it shall be one ot tbe
first. The fact that Gen. Harrison is

animal, or whatever it was. about six Inch
es long, nearly an inch In diameter In its
thickest part and pinkish In color. Wnen
fresh from the sufferer's stomach this curi
osity bad one well developed eye, a pecu
liar but perfect mouth, and what appeared

erated. andit was reduced to a whitish pulp,

work. Mr. Crow says be often felt the
thing crawling about iu bis stomacbe, but

there and claiming that part of bis body as
bis home. At present be feels that a great
load, like a cloud from the face of the sun.
