NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY. JANUARY 26. 1884.


David A. Wells, an unquestioned au-
th0rity, states the sum total of wealth
amassed by the United States in three
hundred and fifty years prior to 1860,
was sirteen thousand millions. and in
twenty years from that time to 1880, we
accumulated the immense sum of forty
thousand millions, two hundred and if
ty per cent. more in 20 years than in $50
years. This unprecedented increase in
wealth was produced under the protect
i've tariff projected by the Republican
party. The best wages, the busiest In
dustries, the surest employment. the
richest comforts, the most pleasure, the
greatest wealth, the finest homes, the
choicest food and clothes, all these came
under protection, and this is reason for
the Democratic party, that is void OF
business sense and out of harmony with
the real life and prosperity of the cOun-
try, to make an assault upon the tariff.
With this in view, they have elected a
free trade Speaker, fortified their pOlity
in Ways and means Committee, and
are now striking right and left at all
protection Democrats, from Randall
down. The result of the tariff has only
been prosperity. The effect of free trade
can only be depression, disaster and
trouble, with the most distress resting
upon the poor. Let all who work for an
honest living see that the main cause OF
their welfare. that which employs, pays
defends and prOspers them and their
dependent ones is maintained. The
great source of all these blessings is a
prOtective,tariff

The ne-Bookwalter-Mc DEM
ocracy punished Pendleton because, as
Democrat he made the mistake of his
life in advocating civil service reform.
The caucus gave Pendleton only 10 votes
out of so, and the only objection urged
was that he had made himself obnoxious
in civil service reform. In repudiating
Pendleton the Democracy repudiates
civil service reform, and repudistes all
they have said and promised in the mat
ter. Many Democratic papers severely
condemn the Ohio brethren, and yet the
action of those brethren in striking oil,
and Standard oil at that, soothes them
and their pain. This spoil's organiza-
tioD is ready to weaken before any mon
opoly or ring. 1t yearns for boss and
will follow the one with the most money.
It has no sincerity, no interest in its
best men, is at war with the people and
has not shown itself worthy Of trust by
the people.

BEN BUTLER processes great love

he wants TO see the lsborer get all

sentiment, but when Butler gushes
in this fashion his sincerity must be
doubted. Ben Butler is q bloated

brings down prices. who doea?
The companies will hardly
claim that it helps them
to get only &c for what they

clear gain of 25e. message to
somebody, and competition brought
it about. An Interesting fight
