Glow Farmers are Protected"

Chow Farmers are Protected" is the
caption of an article in this issue from the
Missouri Republican which will be read
with interest by farmers. 1t exposes the
sham of the Protectionists in pretending to
extend protection to the agrieulturists
while protecting themselves. The produc-
ton of grain and cattle and horses and hogs
and sheep in this country is far beyond the
demands of the people, and very large pro-
portion is exported to foreign countries,
where they cannot be produced near as
cheap as here. Then what benefit can a
tariff on these be to farmers? None at all,
but they are imposed under our tariff laws,
and the Protectionist mildly tells the farm
er that he is protected from foreign COM
petition as we'll as himself. The pro-
lection to the farmer means nothing, as
there is no demand for foreign productions
of grain. cattle, &c, if foreign countries
had surplus. To the manufacturer 1t
means the privilege Of taxing the farmer on
his farming implements, and almost all OF
the necessaries for the farm and household.
Read the article. What the Republican
saws applies to every farmer in the country.

The State Trial at Dublin.

No trial in modern times has surpassed in
interest the judicial inquiry now going on at
Dublin into the circumstances attending the
assassination of Mr.. Burke and Lord Freder-
lex Cavendish in Phoenix Park, Ireland. si'
James Carey, Town Councillor, who was
concerned in the conspiracy, has told the
story of the crime. h-e.~ "i -
A band of men who called themselves the
Irish Invincibles, and who were under, the dl,
rectioD and control of leaders in London, had
determined Ito remove all tyrants3 The
subordinate agents of this organization bound
themselves to obedience by the most solemn
oaths. bgi9z1 liEain Z - yn,,u,,,,iaE
The original idea was ITO remove" Mr.. Fors-
ter, the Chief Secretary for Ireland, and Earl
Cowper, the Lord Lieutenant. The plans to
kill Mr.. Forster were defeated repeatedly by
occurrences which the plotters could not fore
see. He left Ireland, and, under the orders
of mysterious commander known as Number
One, the conspiratorss turned their attention

Seven men were engaged in the assassina-
sion. The summary offthe evidence would
indicate that Lord Frederick Cavendish was
killed simply because he happened to be with
Mr.. Burke. at the time oflhe attack upon that

How Farmers are protected"

From the Missouri Republican
The Eastern protected manufacturers must
make some sort of pretence of admitting farm
ers to share in the benefits of that system.
1t would be too bare faced to frame protec,
tive tariff and exclude farmers entirely; and
so they make a show Of giving farmers share
of protection also. But how?
the answer discloses a cunning trick which
runs all through the system. There is duty
of 20 per cent. on cattle, horses, sheep ana
hogs-as if the farmers of Illinois, Iowa, Mis-
souri, and Kansas needed protection on the
animals they are exporting to Europe. The
only effect of this duty is to make the cattle,
hogs, sheep and horses of improved breeds,
which our farmers import from abroad for the
purpose of improving their stock, cost them
one-fifth more than they would cost without
it. The duty is of some advantage to the few
stock breeders of the East and OF Kentucky;
but to the great mass of farmers IN the West
and Northwest, it is positive disadvantage.
Then there is a duty of 10 cents bushel on
Indian corn, 10 cents on oats, 20 per cent. on
bran, Is cents on rye, 20 cents on wheat, 70
per cent on cider, cents pound on bacon,
10 cents a bushel on potatoes, cents pound
on butter, 2 cents pound on lard, lO per
cent on milk, 20 per cent on mutton, l cent
a pound on pork, 20 per cent. on salted ton
CUES, 10 per cent. on tripe. 1t would be I'M
possible to imagine anything more ridiculous
than these duties on articles which our farm
ers produce cheaper than any other farmers
in the world, and the expectation of which
constitutes so large proportion of our com
merce. What Western farmer wants protec-
ton on wheat, potatoes, corn, lard, pork,
beef and butter? And yet all these duties
are padded into the tariff law to delude West
ern farmers with the notion that their bust
ness is protected as we'll as manufacturing,
and that they ought not to complain of a sys-
tenn whose benefits they share. If they were
all abolished, the mass of American farmers
would be better off. The only benefit they
yield goes to the few small farmers and truck
raisers of New England and the upper part
of New York and Pennsylvania whom they
protect against Canadian competition. To
the real agricultural interest of the country,
whose seat is in the West and South, they are
nothing but mockery.

Anti-Democratic.

The Hagerstown Mail is surprised that
the ADVOCATE should characterize the Bal
timore San as anti-Democratie. The Sn
never professed to be Democratic, but m
dependem. 1t is, therefore, not Demo-
cratic. As an Independent paper it has
for several years past given its columns up
to much that was hostile to the party. In
1881 it published numerous articles to the
detriment of Democratic success. Move
ments of an independent character were Or
ganized in several counties of the state, whose
object was the defeat of the regular Demo
cratic nominees. These movements were
very insignificant, yet the San gave reports
of the meetings, speeches and purposes OF
the independents, covering as much as three
columns at time This was giving an
Importance to them out Of all proportion to
their magnitude. Such formidable reports
created alarm and were calculated to de-
moralize the Democratic party. At the
same time very little space was given to the
Democratic campaign. The SIN had no
special reporter to send over the state with
either Compton or Heating, but could re-
port Hon. VIM. M. Merrick every time he
spoke. 1t could report the utteranees and
proceedings of the Anne Arundel lndepen-
dents and it could publish the d. L. ID.
reports of discomfort in Kent county and
elsewhere. The Sun had generally been
REGARDED as so good Democratic paper,
that. compiled with it's excellence as news
paper, no professed Democratic paper could
he sustained in Baltimore Possessing the
confidence of the party and having large
circulation, it undoubtedly helped the IN
dependent movements. Without its infiu-
ence small cigar box would have held the
ballots of every independent in the state
Again, last year the Sun went against
the regular Democratic nominees in Balti-
more. 1t prepared its readers for the
movement by intoxicating independence Of
action and arguing against party fealty.
Hostility to Hon. VIM. aPinkney Whyte
vas the basis of 1t. The movement was
sueeeSsful because hundreds of Democrats
who desired to break down Mr.. Whyte,
Joined in with the Sun and Mr.. Keyser,
one of the chief leaders. ~ 45o.a.fh
This is but part of the Sans record
for the past four years. Its attempt to strip
the Democratic party of much Of Its pa
tronaee, not for the states good, but for
the GOOD of the Baltimore & Ohio r. r., and
consequently its own benefit is not forgot
ten. Still, we shall net now go into It's
record We shall merely state that If
anvoue thinks to draw Democracy from its
ntterances. he will very often be mistaken.

Terrible Mine Disaster.

The floods and rains loosened the earth
around the Diamond coal mine near Braid
wood, Illinois, and on Friday afternoon last
aland-slide began which flooded the mine
and closed it up with water andmud. There
were seventy four men in the mine at the
time,a few ofwhom escaped by an air shaft.
The sudden thaw and heavy rainfall had trans
formed the prairie into a lake. About Dia-
mond the water stood from six inches to three
feet in depth. With scarcely any warning
there suddenly appeared an opening from, the
surface of the earth into the mine. The sur
face being covered with water, it took only a
short time for the water to permeate the en-
tire mine, drowning all who were unable to
get out before the rising water caught them.
The galleries were low and narrow, and only
by painfully slow crawling could the poor
victims escape.
