Trimmer Lake Township Surveyor, James Crockett ltoss Township Powderly on the Tariff. For the past week the G. O. P. organs of this section and elsewhere have been parading before their readers an extract from one of T. V. Powderly's letters, in which the Democratic party is given a severe raking up. Part of it is deserved and part of it is not, but the editors of the Republican journals thought they Btruck a mint and have been dosing the public with installments daily since its appearance. Powderly is a People's party man. He was at the convention that nomi nated Weaver, and has been an ardent supporter of the ticket since, nptwitb standing the assertion of the Philadel phia Press and others that he pronoun ced in favor of Harrison last week. The general master workman is just now engaged in paying his respects to botli parties and commenting upon sucli political subjects as are underdiscussion. In Thursday's issue of the Journal of the Knight* of Labor lie touches on that all important question, the tariff. Repub lican editors and workingmen who be lieve in so-called "protection" are re spectfully inyited to put his opinion of the tariff, high or low, in their pipes and smoke it. He says: We are told that wages have ail vanced, but for the life of me 1 cannot find a man whose wages have been increased by the tariff. It has nothing to do with the increase in wages, for in no case can the proofs he produced to stiow that wages have increased except where the la bor organizations hud a strong footing anil enforced a demand for an increase of pay. The italics are his, not ours, and ve are waiting to see how many protection ists will attempt to disprove that state ment. Now if the papers that gave garbled portions of his other letter want to he honest with their readers, let them publish the above declaration, which is in perfect accord with the national plat form of the Democratic party. It knocks the bottom out of every protection argument that may be offered. Tariffs have no more to do with the rise and fall of wages than they have with the cftb and flow of the tide, and none know it better than the men who are keep workingmen down by having them vote the Republican ticket. Last week Powderly was receiving great praise in our Republican ex changes. He was referred to as the "noted labor leader," "the champion of workingmen's rights," and his "saga city," "words of wisdom," etc., were net before their readers witli all the prominence they could be given. That was when he was pointing out the de fects in the Democratic party and the short comings of its candidate. Will they still continue to applaud him, now that he has struck a telling blow at the pet theory that "protection increases wages?" It is not likely they will. As on former occasions they will dive into the largest dictionary they can iind and bring forth all the words that are synonymous of "fraud," "hypo crite," "agitator," etc. That is what Powderly or his friends inay expect when he tells the truth about the tariff. Miner.' Wage, ami Increased Coal Kale.. One of the principal arguments used i by the apologists of the Reading com bine is that the advance in tiie price of coal at tidewater will send miners' wages skyward. Goal is now selling in the cities at from 1 85 cents to sl.lO a ton more than it ' brought before the deal was made. I Wages have been advanced from 3 to 5 per cent, in the same time, yet there ! are editors in this region who try to make workingmen believe they are re ceiving a proportionate share of this un just and unnecessary advance. The methods by which they arrive at these conclusions will not stand the test of an examination. There is certainly a screw loose somewhere when it becomes necessary to tax the consumer SI.OO in order to give the miner a 3 per cent, raise. The article of D. F. Guinan, publish ed elsewhere, will be able to show to the average thinking man where the differ ence goes, and also a remedy for abolish ing the monopoly that prevents compe tition and allows this difference to exist. | PLYING MACHINES. HOW THEY WILL AFFECT COMMERCE, WAGES, PRICES AND TRUSTS. According to the Protectionist Idea We Already Have Too Much Commerce, and Any Device to Quicken Transportation Would 110 Followed by Dire Results. The Iron Ago of Sept. 1 Bays: "Pen nington's airship factory in Chicago is just completed, and the aluminium car, which weighs 285 pounds, the inventor 6ays, will start for New York in three or four weeks." Think what this means! If his ship can successfully navigate the air we may next year see hundreds of these man made birds darting from city to city and from continent to continent currying pas sengers and valuable freight. How fine they will look and bow they will aid commerce by reducing the time between points now connected only by circuitous railroads, rivers or ocean routes! But horrors! What will become of McKin ley, of protection, of the workingman and of the farmer, and last, but not least, of the hundreds of dearly beloved tariff trusts? According to the protectionist idea we already have too much commerce. As one of them puts it, wo would be better off if the oceans were walls of fire. Honce every true believer in McKiuley ism curses all improved means of com munication and all inventions that fos ter commerce and cheapen the prices of commodities. But the McKinleyite sees even greater danger from this new ma chine. He sees it puncturing more holes in the McKinloy tariff bill than a full Democratic congress would make. Of what use will be custom houses when airships can cross our borders by day or n'ght at 10,000 different points and can anchor in 1,000,000 different places? What unrivaled opportunities would be provided for smuggling! The vigilance of 10,000 customs officers could not pre vont smuggling by wholesale, and the competition in smuggling in large quan tities of pauper made goods would soon lower the prico of hundreds of articles. Woolen goods, plate and window glass, tin plate, pearl buttons and dozens of other articles that now sell here for double the prices in Europe or Canada would soon como down almost to a com mon level. And what terrible effects it would have upon fanners and laborersl It would probably reduce their expenses fifty dollars per family, and they would all—free traders and protectionists alike —be foolish enough to buy all they could of these cheap goods. They would even work the harder to produce all they could to exchange and get their fill of goods for once. Increased production would make a demand for more labor, and this would raise wages. Higher wages would mean increased consumption, and the wheels of industry would just hum, not only on this but on the other side of the ocean. It is un-Clirlstianlike to think that our European neighbors would prosper with us, but then it couldn't well be helped, while goods could be exchanged through the air so that each nation would get the benefits of the natural and artificial ad vantages in production of all other na tions. This could not lower the prices of farm products, for our farmers have the best opportunity to produce in the world and now compete with all other nations. It could not lower wages, for it would remove no barriers that obstruct the passage of labor from one country to another—because there is none to re- i move. It would in fact raise wages by j increasing the amount of goods that could be purchased with a certain sum. ! But the poor trusts—how they would suf- i fer and perhaps die under such competi- | tion! The Pocket Cutlery trust, which j has raised prices 80 per cent, since 1890, j would have to reduce prices at least 40 j per cent., because cutlery costs only ' about half as much in Europe as here, j The Cartridge trust, which has ad ! vanced prices here 99 per cent, and sells 1 80 per cent, cheaper in Canada, would : have to have a leveling down of prices Hundreds of other trusts now making millions out of the tariff, only thousands of which have to 1)0 spent to sustain pro tection, would have to bo content with ordinary profits or yield up the ghost en tirely. Such are Borne of the afflictions that ] will follow the introduction of flying machines. If protectionists understand J the situation they will bribe Mr. Pen nington to stop work on the airship, which will do them a thousand times ' more harm than Peck's report on wages will do them good. Steel Uails. Missouri has one maker of steel rails, j Ho reported to the census of 1880 that ho had made 5,100 tons of steel rails, i costing $357,000, or S7O per ton, and 5,100 tons of steel 1 blooms worth $550,000, ! or $2,108 per ton. His product was worth, less wages, $849,882. His protection in 1880 to pay difference in wages was $382,221. The total wages he paid, then, $57,018. On the same quantity and quality made this yoar his protection will be $272,544. but instead of paying $5.67 per ton wages he will pay less than $2. The exact amount he pays, Mr. Frick says, is none of the business of congress. He may give his employees what he likes and steal what he likes from the money granted by congress as the difference in wages. One protected mill owner is the same as another. They all uso pauper lalior, supported by a public tax, and the em ployer pockets from one-quarter to three quarters of the pauper dole. Protection is the robl>ery of the paupers employed and the swindling of the public.—T. E. Wilson. l'urcliunltig l'ower the Te.t of Wage.. Power to buy is curtailed by increased cost of commodities. Your money wages are what you can get for them. The tariff taxes things to make them dear in the selling. Workingman, you are the buyer.—St. Louis Courier. M'KINLEYISM. ! What It HUH Really Doue for tht Amfirl* can Farmer. If America could sell to Europe as much grain and flour during the coming year as she has sold during the last year, the immediate future would l>e bright enough for this country. But this is not to be hoped for. From now on it is a certainty that our exports to Europe will decline. Even during the last twelve months Europe has not been a good cus tomer of America except as she has been driven to it by crop failure and famine. Her purchases from us, the excep tion of grain and breadstuifs, have de clined, and if good crops relieve her this year from the necessity of buying so largely of our breadstuffs, it is morally j certain that the volume of her purchases j from us will materially decrease. The cause is plain. It is McKinley ism. The suine McKinleyism which is i forcing Europe to seek other outlets for ! her manufactured goods is leading her to seek other markets in which to pur- ; j chase those things she needs. A conn ! try will trade with those nations that trade with her, ami America is already i beginning to feel in the reduction of her I exports to Europe the truth of this rule. 1 Ipr a season Europe has been forced to buy our grain by reason of crop failures and famine to an unusually largo ex- j tent. If it were not for McKinleyism she would have paid us for our grain largely in manufactured articles. Major McKinley boasted that she would be forced to pay in money, but 1 statistics show that since the McKinley j bill passed we have sent more money to ; Europe than Europe has sent to us. I Europe declines to be forced to pay i money. The interruption of trade by I McKinleyism has resulted in the with- ; drawal of millions of dollars of credit. Many great European institutions which kept heavy balances of money on this side of the water for the purpose of trade and financial operations have called those balances home. Many mil lions of dollars in American securities held abroad have been sent back to this country in exchange for gold. In other words, Europe is collecting many of the debts which America owes her, just as a banker will require a mer chant to pay notes if he takes his de posits away from the bunk. One good crop in Europe, one year during which Europe will bo able to get along with less of our grain and flour, will show in a clearer light the destruc tive effects of McKinleyism upon the United States. It will show how much that ism has done to estrange the great customer for the surplus products of American farms.—Omaha World- | Herald. A Democratic Candidate. | Luther Franklin McKinney, the Dem ocratic candidate for governor of New Hampshire, was born in Ohio, April 25, | 1841. He lived on a farm with his fa | ther, and when eighteen years of age began to teach school during the winter. | Ho served gallantly in the Union army. Ho graduated from St. Lawrence uui- I versity, in Canton, N. Y., in Juno, 1870, ; as a minister. His first pastoral work HON. L. F. M'KINNKY. was done in Maine, but in 1873 he re* ! moved to New Hampshire. Mr. Mc- j ; Kinney was defeated for the Forty ninth congress, elected to the Fiftieth, I defeated for the Fifty first and elected j |to the Fifty-second. Well informed I politicians consider Mr. McKinney's | ; election to the governorship of New Hampshire almost certain. Nothing to Conceal. Chairman Harrity is right when he says the Democracy has nothing to con ceal about this coming campaign. This is to be a campaign of principle by the people and for the people. There is no occasion for sharp practice—there never is—and the fight must be open and above board. The position of tho party is well defined, and because of its posi , tion it asks the support of all friends of good government. When Democracy has won its victory, as it seems certain it will, the people will know just what to expect.—lndianapolis Sentinel. McKluluy a Deinocrutlc Vote Maker. I The Leader believes that Mr. McKin ley's speeches in Nebraska have made i and will make thousands of votes for the Democratic party. The average voter will readily and rightly conclude that if this great apostle of protection ran offer, in support of a 60 per cent, tariff on necessities, no reason nor argument other than the dishonest and absurd as sertion that the tariff tax is paid by the foreigner and that such tax does not in crease the price to the consumer, then indeed must modern protection be in defensible.—Des Moines Leader. What IK Wrong with ItY | If the McKinley law is not responsible ' for strikes neither is it to be credited , averting them. Ever since the law went into operation there have been con -1 tinuous strikes in protected industries. And inasmuch as the law is made for the protection of labor, the people who aro paying the expense of it are quite I right in asking wliut is wrong with it.— Toledo Hoc. | CHIEF OF FRAUDS. j THE AMERICAN WORKMAN GETS NO BENEFIT FROM TIN PLATE. i ''American*' Tin Flute Mude of Imported Itiack Sheet h, Coated with Imported Tin by Imported Labor by the Use of Imported Machinery. There are several other bigger frauds, when amounts are considered, that are being worked 011 the American people than the tin plate fraud; but this one is pre-eminent when the percentage of frauds to the dollar is taken into ac count. It matters but little from what point of view the subject is approached. The consumer is losing from $15,000,000 to $20,000,000 a year, with 110 compensa tion at present and no hopes of any in the future; the American workingman is getting no benefit from the small tin plate, or rather tin coating, establish ments that are temporarily located here, because the only labor that receives more than ordinary day wages is im ported; the capitalist who invests in this business is likely to lose money be cause the high price of steel or "black" sheets (due to the duty) prevents the prosperity of the industry here until wo can import plates free of duty or can roll them hero as cheaply as they are rolled in Europe. Even the politicians will find that this industry has done them more harm than good. It is said that some of them are already sorry that they staked so much on it and made such glowing promises. The Hon. Thomas L. Bunting said in congress June 10: "The tin plate indus try as now developed and put on record ts a finishing shop for Welsh consign ments of cold rolled, pickled and an nealed steel plates. It is adding to this Welsh material twenty-five cents of Welsh labor through the use of Welsh machinery for each box of tin plate. It is simply putting on a coat of paint on the finished product, with Australian paint and a Welsh brush and by a Welsh painter. Up to date, with but few exceptions, the tin plate industry of this country has but one ingredient in its composition which is truly Ameri can, viz., domestic atmosphere. And this is the reason why in the burning of the factory over at Philadelphia belong ing to the N. & G. Taylor company there was not an entire destruction and loss because the atmosphere was rescued!" If any one thinks that American tin plate, so called, is made from American black sheets, let him read the evidence presented by the Hon. Benjaraiij F. Sliively in the house on June i 5. Mr. Shively had prepared for him by the chief of the bureau of statistics state ments showing the imports of iron ami steel sheets, such as are commonly used for making tin and terne plate. It should be remembered that these plates consti tute about nine-tenths of the weight and also nine-tentlis of the value of tin and terne plates. The statistics of imports were as follows: Rate of Pounds: U. fl. duty; thinner than product cents No. 25 tin Yeareuding— per ft. wire gauge. plate. Juno 80,1880 1.75 0,246 Juno ito, 1800 1.75 2,208 June 80,1801 1.06 1,830,582 Quarter ending— Sept. 30, 1801 1.05 780,003 030,022 Dec. 81, 1801 1.05 074,241 1,100,821 March 31, 1802 1.05 3,057,703 3,004,087 Commenting upon this table Mr. Shively said: "Every pound of black plates noted in this table is of the proper gauge and general character for tin and terne plates. The plates noted are ready to receive the coat of tin or tin and lead. Tho normal importation and consump tion of those plates prior to the passage of the act of 1890 is shown by the statis tics for the fiscal years 1889 and 1890 re spectively." For comparison the prod uct of "American" tin plate as reported by the special agent of the treasury de partment has been given in the last col umn. Previous to the quarter ending Sept. 80, 1891, tin and terne plates were not made here in commercial quantities, though it is evident from the imports of black sheets just previous to this time that preparations were being made to es tablish this now famous "American" industry. Mr. Shively says: "These statistics, all of which are official, show that the American production of tin and terne plates for the three-quarters ending March 81 was 5,240,880 pounds, while the importations of black plates for tho same period was 5,418,552 pounds. Moreover, it must be remembered that tho 1,889,582 pounds of black sheets im ported during the fiscal year ending June 80, 1891, remain unaccounted for. As is shown by the importations for 1889 and 1890, the consumption of im ported black plates in this country prior to the passage of the act of 1890 did not average over 5,000 pounds per annum. Small amounts of theso plates have been for yoars used in tho manufacture of signs and a few other articles. It is perfectly apparent that the bulk of the 1,889,582 pounds was imported for other purposes. The real fact is that from the time the act of 1800 went on the statute book to March 81, 1892, there was im ported into the United States 9,758,144 pounds of black plates, and there was made 5,240,880 pounds of what the treas ury department construes to be tin and terne plates produced in the United States, so that after making ample al lowance for all tho imported black plates consumed in this country for other purposes we have left over 1,000,- 000 pounds to coat with tin and return to the treasury department at the end of the present quarter as 'tin plato pro duced in the United States.'" This, then, is the kind of an industry that protection is trying to domesticate j and put on exhibition here. The ani mals in Barnum's circus are as much American as is this industry and far : more useful for cxhi.. tion purposes. The Millennium Approaching. !

The Electropoise litis been In use for four years, and is well known in some sections of the I niton Mates, but there are u grout main HI I Hero re that have never heard the name. Those tluit have heard of it ami seen Something of its wonderful power, are curious to know liow an instrument so small and so simple can accomplish euros so groat. Now, while tlie Fleetropoisc is very wonderful. It is not at all mysterious. Its operation falls in with what we know of si ienee and nnv one at all Familiar with the simplest laets of biology and Physics can understand. HOW IT OPERATES .—The way in which tlie Electropoise accomplishes its cures is very Himple and natural. It consists of a polarizer, which is connected by a woven wire cord with a small nlate and garter. This polarizer is im mersed in cold water, or put 011 ice. The plate at the other end of the cord is attached to the warm body of the patient, generally at the ankle. From the inherent nature of this polarizer it liccomcs ueuativcly chaiyed. Hy the well-known laws of induction, tlie plate, and with it the body of tlie patient, becomes \mitlvcl)i charged. The body thereby becomes a centre of attraction for negative bodies. Oxygen is the most negative form of matter in nature. Hence the body, batlied in the atmos phere, drinks in the life-giving oxygen ut every pore. Every process of life is thereby quickened. Iho temperature rises; the pulse throbs with a toiler beat; tlie skin tingles with new lire; every organ acts with renewed vigor, and the etlele poisonous products of the bodv are thrown otr with ease. That quickened change of matter which oxygen produces throughout the svstem, is accompanied by a largely increased genesis of Nerve roice. Organs halt dead and stag nant arc born again, and begin to perforin their wonted fullest ions. The heart, the lungs, the liver, tlie organs of tlie external senses, tin organs or reproduction ail these throw oil their derangement and weakness, ami even the disordered intellect is ofttiincs reeiithroiicd. Where disease has not alreadv made too great ravages, restoration to perfect health U in evitable. The Electropoise is generally used at night while the patient is asleep, but may he applied, of course, at any time, and to several persons during the twenty-four hours ft will (list a life-time, neveP wears out nor loses its strength, never needs mending nor recharging. One in each family will render that family largely iudeoendent o| doctors and druggists, ami thus will save every year many times its small cost. NOT AN EI.E( TUIOAI.

It has no method of generat ing a current, nor means of conducting one. It acts upon wi 11-known biological principles, and is heartily endorsed by many of tlie best physicians in this and other countries, and is daily used by them in their practice. It is pro nounced by them the greatest discovery in the history of medicine, in that it does away with the use of medicines. DIRECTIONS FOR USlNG.—Accompany ing each instrument is a hook of Instructions fully explaining its uses. Its method of cure is so simple and free from danger, that the un initiated and even children can use it witli per fect ease and success. Editorial in lhmton Christian Witness and Ad vocate of liihlc Holiness, September 3, 1W1: "A method of treatment of discusc without the use of any medicines or drugs, which has been quietly extending itself over all parts of the I nited Mates during the past three years with very gratifying results. We arc slow to commend new discoveries of any kind, for the reason that so many of them prove to be worth less. But we can commend the Electropoise as a safe and effective health restorer. We do not pretend to explain the philosophy of its workings, but, having realiz ed its beneficial effects, we can speak of its re sults. About one year ago we recommended it to llro. I. D. Ware, of I'liiiadelpliia, for his son, who was a great sufferer from Sciatica He laid sought relief in various ways and found none. He was almost helpless, and rapidly de clining. The use of tin- Electropoise restored him to perleet health, and now. after nearly a year, lie is rejoicing as one who has found great spoil. We have seen testimonials of most re markable cures. Tills notice of the Electro poise is without solicitation, and entirely gra tuitous. We do it for the good of the afflicted. We have no personal interest in it, and are not paid for what we say in its favor." The following editorial in Central Methodist, ( atlettsburg, Ky., was written by Zcphtutiah Meek, I). I>., editor: "Fnless about ten thousand men, mainly pro fessional men, lawyers, doctors, editors, preach ers, arid all other classes, including the writer, are very 111 ig.li mistaken, the Electropoise ef fects cures and gives relief where all other known remedies have failed. Especially is it efficacious in the ease of delicate women and feeble children. I have used one for the past two years, und llnd it invaluable as a curative agent."
