The Cincinnati Gazette makes some
pointed observations on the result Of
Prince Bismarck's protective tariff
in Germany and its bearings upon
American agriculture. The cost of
wheat -four has been advanced to
the German consumer 10 per cent.
that of American bacon 20 per cent,
butter 10 per cent, lard 40 per cent
beans and peas 10 per cent, and so
on. There has been no correspond
ing increase in the wages of German
workingmen. Consequently the
conditions Of life have been made
harder in Germany, The importa-
ton of American farm products has
been curtailed, and the expectation
of German manufactures diminish
ed, by the new tariff policy. The
Gazette wonders how the American
protectionists would like to have
this policy adopted by European
countries generally-a very peril
nent inquiry, and enc which they
will be in no haste to answer. The
first effects of such a policy would
be to reduce the profits of farming
in this country, in consequence Of
the foreign duty on American agri-
cultural products. The next effect
would be to set the Western farmer
to studying the philosophy Of tariffs.
The pressure upon his pocket-nerye
would cause him to master the sub
ject in very short space Of time.
He would then wax exceeding wroth,
and his members of Congress would
take a death-hug at the tariff. When
ever the Western farmers lift their
finger in the way Of admonition,
protection in this country is doomed.
Perhaps Bismarck's tariff will help
some of them to see where their
interests lie. If 50, it Will not be
without its uses on this side Of the
water, whatever may be its effects at
home. Nation.

EDITORS AND PRoPRIEToRs.

Elsewhere we publish eommu-
nication from Al. c." on the tariff
question. Although the writer takes
the protection side, we welcome it
as an evidence of growing interest
in this most important political SUBJ
ject, the discussion Of which is most
profitable. Although his argument
is based on fallacies and a miscon-
ception of the laws of trade, it is
one Of the better class, if there can
be said to be any better class on
the side Of protection, and marks
its author as one of the many west
ern men, who while claiming to be
protectionists, have only given the
abstract question slight investigation,
and know scarcely anything at all
Of our present incongruous tariff
and the heinous part it plays in
corrupting and disarranging the
business Of every day life. These
men are very numerous, and we
have faith to believe that a thor
ough discussion of the tariff ques-
ton would convert the majority Of
them to the side of free trade in
the abstract, and that all the rest
who were not self interested would
favor a reform Of the present tariff
when it is laid before them in its
nakedness.

Galena Industrial Press: 1t is a
rather unhealthy place for horse
thieves in the southeastern part of
our county. The Stockton and
Wards Grove Horse Thief Detective
Association keep up their oIganiza-
ton, and hold their regular meet
ings. 1t has several hundred dollars
IN the Treasury and it guarantees to
capture every thief who will steal d
horse from either of It's members.
The association can turn out % or
80 of the best riders, and soon as a
horse Is taken from any member.
riders are at once started in pursuit.
Only two horses have been stolen
from members during the past 20
years, both of which were recovered
and the thieves placed in the peni-
Tertiary. Such an organization is a
good preventive of crime, and all
should contribute literally to its
support.

4 Tariff Issue.

Congress lodged the tariff during
the present session, by means of
the bill creating the taIiff commits
sion, which postponed the question
for mt least a year, until the COM
mission was ready 10 report. 1t
WAS quite evident when the present
congress met that the tariff prom
iscd to become very important
issue at an early day; indeed, there
was every reason to expect that it
would be sprung then and there on
the country, But parties were so
divided on this question. and 50
many members were wavering and
uncertain how to net, that ma
jority of them gladly seized the idea
Of creating 4 commission as the
best way of postponing this vex-
atious subject, and seeing in the
meanwhile, how their constituents
and the country stood on this ques-
non But while Congress postponed
the fight, the people of Maine have
refused to do SO, and the present
campaign Ill that state is being con-

platform breathes the tiercest prin-
eiples OF free trade, and demands
reduction st taxes, S150,000,0O0 a
year, until our revenues cease to
exceed our expenditures. The Re
publicans on the other hand, are in
favor of protection to American in
dustry, and they invite the people
to show their approval Of this policy
by voting the straight Republican
ticket IN September.
Such is the issue on which the
two parties have joined battle in
Maine. The result ought TO be, to
a certain extent decisive. The Dem
ocratic-G reenbackers have nearly the
same voting strength in the state,
and the party that Is victorious there
fore, can safely attribute it to sue
cess in winning converts from the
ranks Of their opponents on the
tariff issue If Plaisted wins, there
fore, it is only Just to concede that
the people of Maine want reduction
Of duties and taxes. If the Re-
publicans are successful, it is a proof
that the people of New England, at
least, want protection.
1t Is an evidence of the division
and disintegration of party lines on
this great economic question, that
