The Tariff Question.

SCIENCE DaSeQ upon assumptions,
this is equivalent to saying that ex-
perience, statistics and facts are to be
rigidly excluded in the discussion of
economic questions. This is method
of reasoning by which the effect is
proved by the cause, or by which a
subsequent fact is inferred from an
anticedent fact, that is, before expert
ence. This system is the exact OPP
posite Of the inductive system en-
ployed by the school Of Bacon, which
investigates facts, experience and
history and makes deductions there
from. Representative Kelley, of
Pennsylvania, has made this deffini-
ton the subject Of an able article in
the International Review, for March,
combining its application to the
tariff question, that deserves more
than a passing notice. He holds
that free trade "is science based
upon assumptions" and while as an
exercise in logic it may appear to be
sound, it utterly fails in experience
and in practice. The advocates of
protection, on the contrary, base their
advocacy of that policy upon recog
nized statistics and the we'll estab-
lished facts of history. They never
assume that certain premises exist
and deduce from them certain effects;
but they recognize the existence of
certain facts and from these they de-
duce cause.
In his investigation of this question
Mr.. Kelley finds by reference to the
commercial history of this country
that immediatelo after the war of
1872, when there was a low or reve.
nue. tariff, the manufacturers Of Great
Britain, by mutual understanding,
glutted our market with their goods,
wares and merchandise, which to
very large extent, they sold below
cost. The result was that our work.
shops were closed, the proprietors
made bankrupts, and the working
men were without employment. In
1876 protection tariff was adopted
under the influence of which foreign
productions were partially driven
from our markets, and the feeble in
dustries Of the country revived, the
agricultural industries stimulated and
the general prosperity Of the produc-
ing classes enhanced. AS a matter
of fact Mr.. Kelley, and all those who
are called protectionists, find in these
results evidence that free trade is
ruinous and protection beneficial to
our industrial interests.
Additional illustrations of these
facts are found in the subsequent
when in 1888, to soothe
the South Carolina nulifiers, the tariff
was so modified as to deprive it of its
protective features. Then the ever
British manufacturers again
ylutted our markets, and by extremely
low prices for which there was no
business warrant, brought ruin to all
Of our manufacturing enterprises and
unprecedented hard times to the
agricultural classes because there was
no market for their products, the idle
manufacturers in their poverty having
no means with which to purchase the
SURPRISES of the farmers. The reve-
nue. of the Treasury declined to such
IN extent that loan became neces-
sary but the free trade policy had so
impaired our credit abroad that for

PETERsoN's MAGAZINE, 1.-THE ladies'
favorite," as it is generally called, is before
US, for April, and is even better than
usual. Among other costly embellish-
ments, it has a "Colored Pattern for -
Table Cover" one of those new and
stylish affairs only to be found in this
magazine, and alone worth the price Of
the number. The steel engraving, and
the doube-sized colored fashion-plate, are
also exceptionally fine. There are some
fifty illustrations for the fashions and for
the work table, giving the latest styles
and patterns for both. No other lady's
book rivals this in the high character of its
literature. The stories are always the
best. In the present number we have

The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1882-01-26

There is considerable u~neasiness ex-
listing at present among the inhabitants
of our neighboring village of West Alex
andria and surrounding country, on ac-
court of the death last week of a young
lady at the residence of John H. Markey,
a little east of New Lexington, the cause
of which it is asserted by some physi-
clans vas smallpox. The deceased was
a domestic in the family of MI. Marley,
who a short time previous to her death
had been in Cincinnati and shortly after
his return was attacked with a breaking
out similar to the varioloid. The young
lady was taken sick while assisting at a
large tea party given at Mr.. Eby's south
of West Alexandria, went home and died
in afew days. Under the circumstances
the residence of Mr.. Marley has been
quarantined for fourteen days, but if the
death was really a cas- of smallpox,
there is no telling at present where it
will end. We hope that those who at
tended the lady and took charge of the
corpse are not mistaken in their belief
that her death was not from smallpox.

A smaII-Pox Remedy.

A correspondent of the Stockton Zeal. }
HERALD writes as follows: 81 hereby
append a recipe which has been used to
my knowledge in hundreds of cases. 1t
will prevent or cure the smallpox,
though the pittings are filling. When
Jenner discovered cow-pox in England
the world of science hurled an avalanche
upon his head, but when the most scien-
tifc school of medicine in the world
that of Paris-published this recipe as a
panacea for smallpox, it passed unheed-
ed. It is as unfailing as fate, and o n
quers in every instance. It is harmless
when taken by a well person. 1t will
also cure scarlet fever. Here is the re-
cipe as 1 have used it, and cured my
children of scarlet fever here it is as |
have used it to cure smallpox, when
learned physicians said the patient must
die, it cured: SuTphate of zinc, one grain;
fox glove (digitalis), one grain; half a
teaspoonful OF sugar; mix with two ia
b~lespoonfuls of water. When thorough
ly mixed add four unces of water. Take
a spoonful every hour. Either disease
will disappear in twelve hours. For a
child smaller doses, according to age
If countries would compel their physi-
clans to use this there would be no need
of pest-houses. If you value advice and
experience use this for that terrible dis
ease"

MIR. skinaint.

Mr. Skinhint resides in Eaton. He and
family live in very good style. He is
probably as well known as any man in
town, and for this reason we have select
ed him as a subject for a sketch. He is
a peculiar character. He can lead a
prayer meeting, fill out a "seven-up"
party, or take the leading part in a lager
beer party. He belongs to the fashiona-
Bile church, pays the minister in wind
and his pew rent by his august presence
at divine service. He loves good din
ncrs and neve refuses to dine, but his
wife is too delicate to admit of returning
the compliments. He is ever present
when the boys "set up" the cigars, and
says, "YesI smoke, thank you" He
has taken the DEMOCRAT ever since it
was established, and has paid for it reg
ularly in advance in.advice to the editor.
None more anxious that the town should
improve o that public enterprises should
go on than he. In fact he is the most
enthusiastically public spirited citizen in
Eaton. He spends most of his time in
discussing ways and means of public i'm
provemcnt, but when called upon for fl
~nancial aid for any of these projects he
has. just put his funds where he cannot
draw them out at present. He vas call
ed upon the other day to subscribe to-
ward improving our valuable springs
He was in favor of it-delighted at the
idea of the improvement-thought it
would be grand for our town-but he ex-
pected to make an investment in a few
days which would take all his spare
funds, and he couldn't subscribe. He
always takes his family to attend every
free and inexpensive entertainment, but
never patronizes the Lyceum course for
fear the hall may get on fire or the floor
give way. He belongs to the Sons OF
Temperance, Odd Fellows, the Masons,
and the A. o. U. w., and draws "sick
benefits" every time his boots hurt his
feet or his fingers get sore with whiting.
He has the three Christian graces-Faith,
Hope and Charity-strongly developed,
faith in the old saw that the world owes
him a living; hope that he will get it,
and charity thst eovereth all manner Of
shortcomings-for himself. He has a
strong desire for an office, and always
tries to get on the popular side, in order
that he may not be anything out for cam
paign purposes. His wife belongs to the
Ladies' Benevolent Society, and contri-
butes large quantities of advice and small
talk. His children go to Sabbath schoo'
every year, during the Christmas ant
picnic season. His is the most neigh
borly family in town ; they are not proud
and would just as soon borrow wood
starch, coffee, sugar, or a full suit o
clothes, as not. There is nothing small
about them-not even their ears-ant
their souls go out to all men-who hav,
any thing they can get without price

Is a. purely vegetable hitter and power
full tonic, and is warranted a speedy and
certain cure for Fever and Ague, ChillS
and Fever, intermittent or Chill Fe-
Yer, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague,
Periodical or Bilious Fever, and all
malarial disorders. In miasmatic dis
tricts, the rapid pulse, coated tongue, thirst,
lassitude, loss of appetite, pain in the back
and loins, and GOODNESS Of the spine and
extremities, are only premonitions OF
severer symptoms, which terminate i'll the
ague paroxysm, succeeded by high fever
and profuse perspiration.
1t is a startling fact, that quininc, arse
mic and other poisonous minerals, form the
basis of most of the Fever and Ague
Preparations, Specifics, "Syrups." and
tons made from these mineral poisons,
although they arc palatalIle, n may
break the chill, DO not cure, but leave tho
lnalarial and their own drug poison in
the system, producing qilinisin. dizziness,
ringing in the ears, headache, vertigo, and
other disorders more formidable than the
disease they wcrc intended TO cure.
AYERS AGUE Cri:E thoroughly eradieates
these noxious poisons from the system.
and always cures The severest cases. 1t
contains no quiainc, mineral, or any thing
that could injure the most delicate pa
tient; and its browning excellence, above
its certainty TO cure, is that it leaves the
system as free from disease as before the

Giving Medicine to Animals.

Prof. ID. ID. Slade presents some valuable lies
for administering medicines to animals, in the
November .imeriodR i9ricHIiHrist.
In giving drench to horse, a horn shoald
be used in preference to the bottle for fear of
breakage. Standing at the right shoulder raise
the head with the left hand under the jaw, and
with the right hand pass the lip of the hesa into
the side of the mouth and empty its contents
the head being held up until they are swallow
ed. If the animal is violent, place a switch up
on the nose, TO be held by an assistant; or if he
refuses to open the mouth, the tongue may be
gently held to side, the horn introduced,
quickly emptied, and the tongue liberated at
once. Under all circumstances the greatest gen.
tleness must be exercised. Nothing can he gain
cb by impotence or by harsh treatment.
For the OK COW, liquid medicine is prefera-
bile, given from the bottle rather than the horn.
The bottle is more manageable, and one is less
tempted to use il ~ pry open the jaws, and per-
haps lacerate the tongue also. Elevate the head
only enough to prevent the liquid from running
from the mouth. The bottle should not he pnsli-
ed back far into the throat. The tongue should
be left free. The following is very neat and
efficacous method: If standing, place the left
side of the animal against wall, and standing
the right side, sirZe hold of the upper jaw by
passing the left arm over the head, and bending
the latter far round TO the right, slightly eleva-
ting it. With the right hand, pour the contents
of the bottle into the mouth at its angle. using
the least possible force.
Medical substances can he readily given TO the
eat, after properly securing the animal. An eff
cient method is as follows: Grasp the hind legs
above the hooks, between the little and ring fin
gers of each hand, and the fore extremities above
the elbow. between the other two fingers, and
place the thumbs against the posterior- lateral
parts of the head at the base of the ears. Being
thus firmly held the medicine either solid or Ii
quid, may lie given from common spoon.
