W. E. MILLER, FORKSVILLE, PA. THEY ASK FOK HONE'S REFORM CLUB ON THE WARPATH AGAINST PROTECTION. An Earnrat Appeal For Fund" In Aid of n Concerted KfTort to Repeal the KslntlnK Tariff l.nw and Com mit the Country to Free Trade. Circular letters have Issued from tlie Reform club announcing the reincar nation of the tariff reform committee and appealing for funds and giving this reason: "The question of tariff revision is now before the American people. The Philippine tariff, Cuban reciprocity and the various reciprocity treaties nego tiated under the Dlngley tariff law are juestions of vital importance, and it is safe to predict that the main issue of the coming congressional campaign svili be the question of tariff reform ind revision.. This committee is car rying on an active campaign of edu cation on all these questions." Chairman Tompkins adds that he Is "sending out matter to the Democratic press through all the more important press bureaus." He is also trying to raise enough funds to send out plates 'at the committee's own expense to such papers of all political affiliations svitling to publish our matter." It s especially desirable, Mr. Tompkins irges, that money enough be raised to carry out this plan, "as it is the most effective way of creating public senti iient in favor of freer trade." The plate matter to which reference is Made in the circular is the kind tech nically known as "boiler plate." It is stereotype plate made to tit the stand trd newspaper column and which therefore can be published in any newspaper in the country without me chanical expense to the newspaper, ind also, if the columns of matter fur nished free do not contain theories re pugnant to the interests of its readers, without other expense. Free trade 'boiler plate" is not enormously ex pensive, either, to its producers—or it tvas not when the industry was at its jest, which was just prior to the lean fears of Democratic soupbouses. But apparently the newspapers which ire to publish free trade boiler plnte natter under Reform club auspices are not alone free trade Democratic or gans, which will readily assimilate the Reform club's economic heresies. Mr. l'ompkins says "papers of all political ifTiliations" desiring to publish the matter will be supplied. The boiler plate industry, which is a peculiarly Democratic institution, is also a power ful instrument of the sugar trust In ts Cubau reciprocity campaign, as was proved before the senate committee. Papers "of all political affiliations," as well as congressmen "of all political affiliations," were Induced to udopt and expound the views expressed in the sugar trust's advertising matter, which svent about the country disguised as joiler plate. Mr. Tompkins might get some valuable advice from his free trade friends of the sugar trust ou liow best to induce "papers of all po litical affiliations" to see things from the free trade point of view. "The farmers and laboring classes," says the touching appeal of the Reform club free traders, "are clamoring for the removal of the burdensome tariff taxes." But why is it that the unex lmpled prosperity of the agriculturists and wageworkers has been reached un der these "burdensome" taxes? The circular does not say. And how does It happen that only the free traders of the Reform club have such delicately attuned tympanums that they alone can hear the clamor of farmer and la borer asking that the "burden" be lifted? The hearing may be strained to a painful degree without catching a whisper from the American farmer and laborer or discontent with the op eration of the protective tariff system. Manufacturerers are not "clamoring'' for tariff "revision" or "reciprocity" either. Protection has prospered em ployers and employed. The only occu pation that has suffered is that of the free trade howler. The only industry that has been injured is the free trade boiler plate industry. Mr. Tompkins' appeal for funds to renew the free trade agitation and dis turb prosperity has not been addressed to the wageworkers, the farmers or the manufacturers, we imagine, in spite of his assertion that they are famishing under i>roteetiou and "clamoring" for free trade. From those quarters it will be futile to look for contributions. The sinews of war, we take it, will come from importers to whose interest it is to haven low tariff or free trade. These importers will finance the boiler plate industry with the same magnan imity as the sugar trust and with the 6ame motive—to till their pockets at the expense of the American farmers, laborers and manufacturers.—New York Tress. Watch 'Em! What does it mean? Colonel Bryan has called Tom Johnson into confer ence witli him. Is the colonel going to make a deal with Mr. Johußon, under which Tom D. will assist the colonel in securing the presidential nomination and the colonel in return for the favor will strive for the Cleveland mayor's election to the United States senate? Hill and McLean should watch this pair closely. They may have a few winning cards up their sleeves. —Tiffin JO.) Tribune. A Familiar Sound.

PROTECTION AND WAGES. \u Object Lesiion Furnished In the Ca»e of Pottery Workers. As bearing upon the question wheth- j ?r protection affects wages one way or i another the following letter from one ; af the leading pottery employers of the ; United States is extremely pertinent: j "There is probably 110 class of labor so wretchedly paid as the pottery em- j ployces of England and the continent. I "A pottery workman from England j having certificates of good workman ship from several reputable pottery ! firms applied to us not long since for a job; said his average wages f»r week were $7.50 when he worked fill time, j but he did not get work more thin half 1 the time; a respectable man, wiJi wife and four children. "We employed him at sls pel week, und now at piecework he earns easily S2O or more, and one of Ills daughters in our decorating department earns $8 j or .$lO per week. "Yet in spite of the good wagei paid j by the United States potters their wares are sold at astouishiugl; low prices. " "Pacts are God's arguments.'' It is 1111 Indisputable fact tint be- ; cause of the protective tariff tuties 1 laid upon importations of foreign ulna- i ware the prevailing rate of wagespald j to potters in the United States is 'ully j double the rate paid in Great Rrtain j and fully three times the averagerate I paid in continental potteries. Yet the current prices of American potterj are surprisingly cheap. The better laid American does better work and Bore 1 of It than the poorly paid Eurojuan ! potter. It is because of the high wiges j made possible by the tariff that he <oes better work and more of it. Take a*ay the tariff 011 cliinaware, and the wi?es \ if pottery employees would suffer erjr- i mously. Either that or the pottersof this country would be driven out of business. They could not compete wtti I the lower pay rolls of Europe. In a marked degree the rate of wages In ; every branch of American industryls Influenced by the presence or absent; of protection. With protection wags are maintained; without protectiu wages must go down. 3000 bushels of lime nt Keericis ! Lime House, one and one half mi.'j >elo\v Laporte. Special Specia Prices.
