OS
Such is the history of protection in this
country for the past quarter century. A
system so pernicious in its effect upon the
industries it was designed to bless, could
not fail to cast its bHghting influence over
those it did not assume to ''protect." 1t has
destroyed our merchant marine, stripped US
Of our South American trade, and stimulated
other nations to adopt retaliatory tariffs
against us. 1t has increased the cost of
transportation; burdened and handicapped
every legitimate and self supportingindustry,
and lessened the profits Of agriculture. 1t
has accumulated a large surplus in the ma
tional treasury, and invited wanton extrava-
gance and expenditure of the public funds;
and above all, it has increased, by nearly
one-half, the cost of living to every man,
woman and child in the nation.
The people dMinnesota, dependent large
ly upon the prosperity of orr wheat growers,
the question of tariff reform is of great and
growing importance. The price of wheat
here is governed by its price in Liverpool.
Four years ago the United States supplied rs
per cent. of all the wheat and flour imported
into Great Britain. In 1881, this was reduced
to SO per cent, in 1882, to So, and in 1888,
to 46 per cent. In other words, the ninety
three million bushels we sent to Great Brit
ain in 1881 fell to seventy-four million
bushels in 1888. Yet the total import from
all countries increased from one hundred
and thirty-six million bushels in 1881 to one
hundred and sixty million in 1883. 1t is
evident that England has found other and
cheaper wheat markets than our own. She
has found elsewhere people who are willing
to exchange their products for hers. Her
imports from Russia increased from eight
million bushels in 1881 to twenty-seven mil
lion in 1888. From India they increased
from two million bushels In 1879 to fifteen

VICTORY FOR THE WOMEN IN
GEoRoIA.-The question Of wo-
man rights has had its first test
in the Georgia Legislature, and re-
suited in favor of the women. 1t
arose over a resolution msirucIlng
the clerk of the House to employ
women to perform clerical work. In
the debate which ensued it was
argued that true public policy
dictated the opening Of every aven-
ne of labor to women. DIR. FELTON,
said that Unemployment Of female
clerks by the national Government
was inaugcrated by distinguished
Georgian, and that women should
enjoy the cmoluments as well as
the burdens of Government 'Let
the men, said he 'go into the field
and plough and dig, and leave to
the women such positions rs they
can fill. An attempt to table the
motion was defeated by an over
whelming vote, and the motion was
adopted.
