Protection Inconsistency. The argument of protectionists is that it high tariff shuts out importations— thus freeing our manufacturers from the competition of these foreign, "pauper"- made goods. Doing so, it enables them to get better prices for their products— thus enabling them to pay their work ingmen better wages. Isn't this their plea? Then why do they persist in say ing that a high tariff (the McKinley for instance) cheapens the cost of goods to the consumer? If it i true that a high tariff, restricting competition, ciieapens the cost of goods, then how can they af ford to sell their goods for less and pay labor more? Very naturally a monopoly of the market would enable our manufacturers to pay better wages—but because it en ables them to it is no sign that they do. .They get ail the benefit of protection; they have free trade in labor, and they buy their labor in the etieapest market, and they sell their goods not as low as they can, but for as much as they can. It is ridiculous to argue that a high tariff does not add to the cost of import ed goods to the consumer, and it is non sense to argue that a high protective tariff is levied for any other purpose than to restrict the importation of for eign goods and to give our manufacturers a monopoly of the market—and it is absurd to imagine that goods enjoying a monopoly of the market would be sold as cheaply as if they were sold in open competition with other goods of like nature. Up to the close of the war the protec tionists argued that capital (not labor) must be encouraged, and up to the en action of the Morrill tariff law, which was a war measure, for tho purpose of raising revenue for the government in its hour of great need, a tariff of from 8 to 18 per cent, was considered ample. It was argued all along, till after the close of the war of the rebellion, that labor, by reason of easy access to cheap land, commanded too high wages for our manufacturers (capitalists) to engage in competition with the manufacturers of the overcrowded old world. Encour agement to capital through a monopoly of the market and cheaper labor, which, as John Sherman said, would result from the act to encourage immigration, was and is the sole aim and object of a "protective" tariff. It is a fact that notwithstanding the higher prices we all have to pay for our goods, tabor receives no benefit from protection. American labor seeks for employment here at homo witli imported pauper labor, and is forced to pay two prices for what it buys. It may be curious to many, but a little thought will convince anyone that wages are higher in unprotected than in protected indus tries; and it. is a further fact proven by government statistics compiled by pro tectionists, appointed by Republican ad ministrations, that more highly protect ed the industry the lower the wages. For instance, the highly protected wool en mills of the east are filled with men working at $4 a week. Unprotected engineers, firemen, carpenters, masons, printers, etc., work for no such wages. As a matter of fact a high protective tariff restricts the importation of foreign goods, lessens the work of the foreigners throws them out of employment or at least cuts down their wages. Then 1 these foreign workmen come to America, where it is held out to them that we have high wages. They overcrowd the labor market and run down wages. Aside from this, the high tariff gives our manufacturers a monopoly of the market and they charge high prices for their goods. This restricts consumption of the goods—lessening prodution and the demand for labor to manufacture the goods. This, of course, leads to a still further reduction of wages. With free, unrestricted trade witii all the nations of the earth every section of every country of all the earth would en gage iu that industry to which it is best adapted. People would not bo taxed to "encourage" some capitalist to engage in the industry of raising oranges at the north pole. Let 'em "raise" ice and polar bears, to which that section of the earth is admirably adapted. Free trade between all the nations of the world is 110 less desirable than between the counties of our states and the states of our country. No nation will send us its products un less it gets some of our products in re turn. No nation is going to flood us witii cheap goods just for the "fun" of it. It wants and must have some of our goods in exchange. Let it be under stood that trade with foreign nations is nothing more or less than an exchange of products. They will give us nothing, nor will we give them anything. It will be an exchange and of mutual benefit. Balances of trade, even, are settled, not with money, as is generally sup posed, but with products—every time, and don't let that fact get away from you. Even if they take our gold and silver, they do not take these metals as money, but as commodities, and these commodities are the products of our mines. That we coin and use these metals as money does not change the fact, for they weigh our coins and take them as commodities, not as money. But there is nothing compulsory about this trading with foreign nations. We are not obliged to take their cheap goods —unless we want them. If we take them it is self-evident that we believe it to be to our advantage to do so.— Chicago Free Trader. A Simple Kpmrily for Cliolora. Dr. Henry C. Cooper swears by this remedy for cholera: One ounce of cam phor should l)e dissolved in six ounces of spirits of wine, and a small bottle should be given to any intelligent per son who will undertake to administer it to his poor neighbors when they are seized with cholera or any of its symp toms. The following instructions should bo carried out at the same time with the utmost care and attention to detail: On the appearance of any cholera symptoms, such as vomiting, purging, sndden weakness, coldness, cramps or spasms, instead of administering brandy, whisky or any other kind of medicine put the patient to bed instantly, covering him warmly, but not overloading him with bedclothes. Then, without a moment's unnecessary delay, administer (for an adult) two drops (not more) of the camphor mixture 011 a little pounded sugar in a spoonful of cold or iced water. Fivo minutes after let him take a sec ond doso of two drops in the same way, and in five minutes more a third dose. He can then wait ten or fifteen minutes to see whether or not there is a sense of returning warmth, with a disposition toward perspiration, and manifest de crease of sickness, cramps, etc. If the improvement is not satisfactory two drops more of the mixture must be taken, as before, and the dose must bo repeated every five minutes until four teen drops have been taken. In administering the remedy particu lar caution must be observed that the patient bo not allowed to take anything of that sort or kind while the medicine is operating, or its effect will bo de stroyed, for the least foreign medicine neutralizes the camphor, which is given to check vomiting and to produce a free warm perspiration.—Pittsburg Dis patch. ExcavatloiiH at Tunis. It is announced from Tunis that ex cavations are now being made in the famous two headed hill mentioned by Virgil, which hill is situated about eight miles from Tunis. Many inter esting remains have already been un earthed, and it is confidently hoped that better will follow. A temple of Baal Saturn, which has been almost entirely laid baro, is at tracting particularly the attention of the French archa>ologists because of its peculiarly interesting statues and bas reliefs. Tho building is situated at an elevation of over 1,600 feet, and this is another proof that the Carthaginians practiced their religious ceremonies on hills. On all the statues of the gods to which the temple is dedicated the uames Baal and Saturn are found together, which would seem to indicate that to flatter their Roman conquerors tho Carthagin ians had added to the name of their chief god that of the highest Roman deity.—Chambers' Journal. A House of Aluminium. The Chicago leasehold trustees will erect upon their ground at the north west corner of State and Madison street" a building the fronts of which will be composed of aluminium, bronze and glass. This will be the first Instance of which tills metal entered into the struc ture of a building. The building -will have a frontage of feet on State and 100 on Madison and will be sixteen stories high. The aluminium columns will bo of a soft gold color. The build ing will be of steel construction, and its interior will lie finished in elegant style, including mosaic floors, marble walls, etc. The possibilities of aluminium have been pronounced infinite, but neverthe less the fact that it is to be used in the outer construction of a great office must excite extended notice.—New York Tele gram.

It Protects Onlj' Protectionist Pol it Iciun# at the CouHuuier'M Ex]iensi>. The editor of The American Wool and Cotton Reporter is by no means a free trader. He believes in protection, but ho lias to deal with facts in the wool and cotton industries, and these facts have convinced him that protection to the wool industry is a farce, kept up by pol iticians and political wool growers at tho expense of consumers and actual wool growers. The following is an ex tract from an editorial in this journal for Sept. 1, 1892: It is impossible not to admire the genial persistence with which Judge Lawrence, of Ohio, interjects his pe culiar opinions respecting the wool tar ill whenever opportunity offers. His letter elsewhore contains some interest <ng and kindly suggestions respecting The Reporter's experiments with aban doned farms in Maine, but the judge closes with a characteristic exordium to The Reporter to join with him in de fending high duties upon wool. The illogical character of his conclu sions transpires first in his advocacy of sheep as a means of reclaiming the soil. He mentions a wornout hay farm of BSO acres which yielded but seventeen loads of hay the season after it was pur chased. No means of recnperation were found successful until sheep were tried, the result being that the farm eventually cut 800 loads of hay, besides yielding other bountiful crops. But, wonderful to relate, this experiment oc curred between 1840 and 180(1, which was mainly a period of low wool duties! Ah, judge, you forget yourself when you mentioned this interesting experi ment in the same letter in which you mako the Buccess of sheep husbandry dependent upon the tariff. If the "abandoned farms" of The Re porter are successful, we shall keep 1,000 sheep upon thein eventually, and ought to raise SO,OOO worth of lambs for market per annum. But 1,000 sheep can hardly be expected to produce more than $2,000 worth of wool per year. Adding to the annual product of lambs such a percentage of increase in the pro ductive capacity of the land us Judge Lawrence suggests, and it will be seen that the wool is but u moderate factor in the success of the experiment. We are afraid to expect that the suc cess of The Reporter's experiment is as well assured as Judge Lawrence sug gests. The chances seem to us about even that the experiment will pi-ove a failure, and that the tariff has very little to do with the matter either one way or the other. But while we believe the main objection to the increased duties upon wool under the McKinley bill has been that they are a tax upon the consumer without doing the producer any good, we still admiro the genial insistence with which Judge Lawrence presents his high tariff opinions whenever oppor tunity oifers. Protection DUuHtroua to Frunce. As an offset to Lord Salisbury's re cent utterances as to a partial return to the policy of protection, it is interesting to observe how France fares under her new tariff law, which is avowedly the extromest system of protection enforced anywhere in Europe. Last year her du ties were raised from 25 to 50 per cent., and the law which went into effect in February has shown during its first three months how it is likely to influ ence trade. The results seem to have been promptly felt, and are frankly disappointing to protectionists. They hoped, by levying almost prohibitive tariffs, practically to stop tho importa tion of foreign manufactured goods. Tho decrease in these for tho first quarter year has been somo 3,000,000 francs; but the value of manufactures exported at the samo time fell off 93,000,000 francs. It is hard to account for this important decline on any other basis than that of the new tariff. Meantime imported food supplies in creased by 34,000,000 over the same period of 1891, and as the duties on these were all much higher the increased cost came directly out of the pockets of consumers. Without stopping to com pare Borne interesting particulars in which the trade of this year has differed from that of last, it remains to note the fact that, contrary to expectation, the ' increased duties have resulted in a loss 1 of revenue. Instead of greater customs dues, for the last three mouths the re ceipts show about $1,000,000 less than in the first quarter of 1891, and nearly $2,500,000 less than the budget estimate. And since the increase of duties, with new schedules and categories, involves a larger corps of officials, this smaller revenue has between tho same dates cost about 1,000,000 francs more to col lect. The principle of protection seems to have been earned to an extreme in France where it ceases to protect.— Christian Union. I'eck'n Quo Sided Report. Six thousand protected manufacture era in New York have returned to Peck their opinions—in figures on prepared slips of paper—of what McKinley is do ing for themselves and their 285,000 em ployees. They give evidence on one side of the question. Now let Commissioner Peck send his slips to the employees and tabulate their replies before making his final report. But Mr. Peck, according to Republicans, from President Harri son down, is a great and reliable statis tician, who would not risk hfs reputa tion by publishing side by side, in one report, figures from the beneficiaries of McKinley and from those who have been fleeced by McKinley. Turdy Recognition. President Harrison's tardy recognition of Mr. Blaine's action in forcing the par tial amelioration of reciprocity upon a hill that had no original saving clause will hardly atone for his previous action in claiming all the credit of it. Good as far as it goes, this so called reciprocity is still "a sham," as the Democratic plat form declares it to be. It untaxes for eigners only. It applies to our poorest instead of to our best customers. And it favors other countries at the expense U oar own.— Hew York World. CAMPAIGN SONGS. !

Reed is always re freshingly droll, and usually refreshing ly frank. His speech at Cumberland Mills, Me., was substantially a eulogy of taxation. The seed of this republic was sown in jealousy of taxation. Mr. Reed says, "There is no other way in which money is appropriated whereby so much good is done as through taxa tion." Onr forefathers asserted that taxation without representation is tyran ny. Mr. Reed is well acquainted with the fact that only one person in twenty in this country is engaged in a protected industry, and therefore represented in the direct benefits of tariff taxes. Yet he extols this kind of taxation übove all others.—Boston Globe. We'll Have It Too. If our presidents were elected by the popular vote tho talk of heavy Demo cratic majorities would he truly encour aging. But not a vote counts after the majority of one is passed.

Protection Anglomaulu. During the great fight for free trade in England in the early forties the Tories were violent and irrational in their op position to it, just as the Republicans in this country are now. And occasionally some titled member of the house of com mons, notorious for his supply of blue blood and his lack of gray brain mutter, would raise the point that McKinley now echoes—the point that protective tariffs compel foreigners to pay our taxes. But these sprigs of nobility brought the blush to the face of the greedy landlords, for whom they spoke, and were laughed at by every one else. It is mortifying to find the governor of a great state going to the England of 1840-6—to tho Tory landlords of that England—for protection arguments to use in this country today.—Standard.

Tin* Electropoise hus been in use I'nr four yours, ami is well known in some sections of the ITiiitcd State*, but there tire u great ninny sufferers that have never heard the mime.

By the well-known laws of indAetion, the plate, and with it the hodv of the patient, becomes linxitinla charged. The body thereby becomes a centre of attraction for negative bodies. Oxygon is the most negative form of matter in nature. Hence the body, bathed in the atmos phere, drinks in the life-giving oxygen at every pore. Every process of life is thereby quickened. The temperature rises; the pulse throbs with a fuller beat; the skin tingles with new life; every organ acts with renewed vigor, ami the effete poisonous products of the body are thrown off with ease. That quickened change of matter which oxygen produces throughout the system, is accompanied by a largely Increased genesis of Nerve Force. Organs halt dead ami stag nant are horn again, and begin to perform their wonted functions. The heart, the lungs, the liver, the organs of the external senses, the organs of reproduction—till these throw off their derangement ami weakness, and even the disordered intellect is ofttiiues rccuthri-ncd. Where disease has not already made too great ravages, restoration to perfect health is In evitable.

One in each family will render that family largely independent of doctors and druggists, and thus will save every year many times its -instil cost. NOT AN FI.FCTRHAL A I*l*l.l A NCF.

We are slow to commend new discoveries of any kind, for the reason that so many of them prove to'lie worthless, lint we can commend the Electropoise us a safe and effective health restorer. We do not pretend to explain the philosophy of its workings, lint, having realiz ed its beneficial effects, we can speak of its re sults. About one year ago we recommended it to Hio. I. I>. Ware, of I'hiludclphia, for Ids son, who was a great sufferer from .Sciatica. He had sought relief in various ways and found none. He was almost .helpless, and rapidly dc i dining. The use of the Kleotropoise restored i him to perfect health, and now, after nearly* n year, lie is rejoicing as one who lias found great spoil. We have seen testimonials of most ro inurkiihlc cures, 'l itis notice of the Electro r poise is without solicitation, and entirely gt a w tiiitous. Wo do it for the good of the afflicted.
