We denounce protection as a fraud, a
robbery of the great majority of the Ameri
can people for the benefit of the few. —
DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
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

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

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

THE DUTY ON WOOL.
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.—

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.

Czar Reed's Refreshing Drolleries.
Hon. Thomas B. 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

majority of one is passed. The electoral

work may give it to us.—Louisville

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.

What is the Electropoise ?
and What Will it Do?
! 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.
Those that have hoard of it and seen something
of its wonderful power, are curious to know
how an instrument so small ami so simple can
accomplish cures so great. Now, while the
Kleetropoise is very wonderful, it is not at till
mysterious. Its operation falls in with what
we know of science and anv one at all familiar
with the simplest facts of Biology and Physics
can understand.
HOW IT OPKRATKS.—The way in which
tin* Electropoise accomplishes its cures is very
simple and natural. It consists of a polarize,r,
which is connected by a woven wire cord wit h
a small plate and garter. This polarizer is im
mersed in cold water, or put on ice. The plate
at end of the cord is attached to the
warm body of the patient, generally 4it the
ankle. Front the inherent nature of this
polarizer it becomes ncgatieclg vhargctl. 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. The Electropoise is generally used
at night while the patient is asleep, but may ho
applied, ol course, at any time, and to several
persons during the twenty-four hours It will
ast a life-time, never wears out nor loses its
strength, never needs mending nor recharging.
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.
'Hie Electropoise is not in any way akin to
the numerous electrical such as
/:/!*, imuilcs, cornet*, shields, Vc„ palmed off
upon the public. It litis no method of generat
ing a current, nor means of conducting one.
It su-ts upon well-known biological principles, s
and is heartily endorsed by many of the 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 ol' medicine, in that it docs away with
the use of medicines.
IHKITTIONS FOR I SI NO.—Accompany
ing each instrument is u book of instructions
fully explaining its uses. Its method of cure is
so simple and tree from danger, that, tun
initiated and even children can use it with per
fect case atml success.
Editorial in llnslnn Christian M'it new aml Ad
vocate-of IWtic Holiness, September 3, iKttl:
"A method of treatment of disease without
the use of any medicines or drugs, which lias
beoKcpdetly extending itself over all parts of
the United States during the past three years
with very gratifying results.
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.
We have no personal interest in it, and are not
paid for what, we say in its favor."
The following editorial in Central Mi tlnulM,
('atlettsl)iirg, Ky., was written by Zephaniah
Meek, I). I)., editor:
''l'nless about ten thousand men, mainly pro-,
fessiotial men, lawyers, doctors, editors, preach
ers, and all other classes, including the writer,
are very much 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. 1 have used oue for the past
two years, and liiui it invaluable as a curative
agent."
Names of prominent people itt all sections of
tlie (J. S. generally can be furnished on appli
cation. Our cures cover all parts of the tinted
States and Europe. Over nO,OUt) people have
been treated with the most gratifying results.
In tlic large majority of cases the cures have
' been speedy, lint our claims are modest, and in
I long-standing, chronic eases you cannot expect
; sitecdy euros. We positively refuse to sell the
j Electropoise In hopeless cases.
