How High Tariff EmpOverIshes Labor.
By the figures of the tenth census
the profits OF manufacturing Capital
for the year, covered by the official re.
turns, amounted to 81 ,024, sol ,847, a
sum equal to between 36 and 81 per
cent of the capital employed If this
profit had not exceeded 10 per cent.
there would, at the wages paid, have
been saving to consumers of $745,-
774,587 this sum would have paid
all the State and local taxes and still
have left to the credit of the consum-
ers $443,573,s63; the latter sum,
saved annually for six years and in
vested in United States 3 per cent.
bonds, would amount to $2,861 ,051,-
Clio, a sum $70,779.004 in excess of
the total capital invested in 1880 in
the manufacturing industries of the
United States this six years. savings
would pay off all State, territorial,
county, municipal, and other local
debts, and still leave unexpended ST.

wages Cncluding salaries of officers
and cIerks,) paid in 1880 in the man.
ufacturing industries was $947, $685.
795 that on a per cent. return to
the capital invested the manufacturers
could have paid in 1880, to their en-
ployees 90.45 per cent. in excess of
the wages paid that year; and that
they could on 10 per cent. return to
the capital, have paid their employees
1902 per cent. in excess of the wages
paid that year aud that they could
have paid from the returns accrued to
their capital in 1880, all the State,
territorial, county and municipaltaxe
and 1919 per cent. more wages to
their employees than they did, and
still have return of 10 per cent, on
the capital employed in their bust
ness.
Let any laboring man but ponder
over these figures and these state
ments, true and correct as figures can
demonstrate as they are, and if he can
then advocate high protective tariff
principles as against low tariff, then
all figuring by the single rule of three
goes for naught and all sound reason
ing is but of small Importance
The great manufacturers are asso-
ciated for three specific purposes
First, to maintain high tariff. Second,
to maintain high prices for their pro-
ducts Third, to reduce wages as
low as possible and to prevent any
and every organization oflabor, social
industrial and political, that would
tend to defeat any of these objects.
Any young man of talents and bril-
liant qualities as an advocate, can
enter the service of these associa.
tons with reasonable prospect of
high legislative position, if he has
sufficient elasticity of conscience to
yield to their seduction.

[From the Slayton Gazette Of July 4th.l
THE CHAMBER OF FCOMllERCE.
1t Decides that the Proper Way Of Ad-
uertising Or Country is by Sending
Copies Of Home Papers Abroad.
A SENSIBLE MOVE.

A SENSIBLE MOVE.
A special meeting of the SlaytOn
Chamber of Commerce was held Mon
day evening for the purpose of consid-
ering the advisaOility of advertising
our town and county in the "Aiinne-
sofa Home," of which paper we spoke
last week. While all present seemed to
have friendly feeling toward the en-
terprise, they were of the unanimous
opinion that our own community
would be benefited far more by send.
ing the Gazette abroad, and if. any
money should be spent in advertising
the country the most judicious way of
doing 50 was by freely circulating the
home paper outside the State, each
member to send copies of the Gazette to
such friends in their old homes, whom
they know as being desirOus of chang
ing their location, and in such farming
communities in the East where a ten.
dency to Go West'' has manifested
itself among the inhabitants.
On melton it was unanimously le-
cided that IS copies of the Slayton
Gazette be subscribed for by the Cham
ber, and that they be disposed Of AS
stated above. Every member who is
in possession of the names of persons
who have an inclination to locate else
where, is requested to hand in his list to
the Secretary.
Seventy five copies of the Gazette,
distributed in this manner, will benefit
our community and county more than
the distribution Of 10000 sheets simply
gotten up for the purpose Of advertising
a country. A live local newspaper is in
itself the best advertisement for town
and the surrounding country.
The Worthington ADVANCE never
said anything more true than the fol-
lowing, which confirms what we have
said, and it shows that our citizens
have made Il move in the right di-
rectien:
''The county has been so flooded
with posters, pamphlets, circulars, ETC.,
that people have come to think them
mere advertising lodges, not to be be-
lieved when read or to he thrown aside
unread. But il newspaper which repre-.
sents the community and speaks for it,
they read with ayidity, and it speaks
with an authority which no other docu.
ment can command. Besides, it shows
everything. People want to see the
whole community focused. and they see
it in the newspapers. They want to
see the advertisements, locals, mar
kets, directories. fights, scandals, pol
itics, religion, and ;tll.''

THE TEMPERANCE PARTY

Here is an article which shows who

IS BOB LINCOLN A SNODe

The following from the New York
Graphic, if true, indicates that Robt.
Lincoln is good deal of snob. He
would like to have people believe that
his illustrious father was born some-
what in the aristocratic way and was
solid" on the orthodox business: But
he wasn't nevertheless. Tue Graphic
says:
The report Of old Ward Lannon's s
fatal sickness at Denver recalls the bit
ter feud that exists between himself
and Robert Lincoln. 1t was the secre-
tary of war that prevented I.amon
from being postmaster at Denver three
years ago. The cause is not hard to
understand. Lamon told story of
Abraham Lincoln's parentage which
had better not have been written, and
also declared that Lincoln was, in re-
ligious views, somewhat of an agnostic.
Certainly he was 4 Theist with Il strong
tendency toward "spiritism." Mr.
Lincoln was the chairman ut Theodore
Parker's first Illinois Iyceum lecture,
and introduced the great preacher to 4
Springfield audience. It is in Il dis
course entitled 1.-The Nebraska Ques-
tion," delivered at the Music hall, Bus.
ton, Feb. II, 1854, that the original
form Of President Lincoln's famous
apothegm about 1.-The government Of
the people. for the people, by the peo-
ple,' may be found. Speaking Of the
Democracy, Parker describes it as 1.-The
government for all, hy~aIl.'' Lincoln
probably saw this, as the discourse was
printed in pamphlet form and widely
circulated. 'Young Mr.. Lincoln"
seems to resent any references to the
great and good man who was his father
