A Failure as a Liar.

Private Fifer's campaign in Illinois
has already broken down iE confess
sion on his part of humiliating incom.
potency. He was booked for speech
ut Greenup on Tuesday, but disappoint-
ed the assemblage there by failing to
put in an appearances: and he inflicted
another disappointed upon the gather
ering at Mattoon, where he did appear,
by declining to make a speech. A
bloody shirt organ makes the excuse
for him that he "carries too much rebel
lead in his body to be able to make
daily speeches." and hence that in
NATION he contented himself with
hand-shaking. The real trouble with
Private Fifer Is not too much lead in
his body, but too little brains in his
head. And yet it must be confessed
that II by Keeping silent he can avoid
such indecent exposure of his intellect
as that of Mr.. John F. Seaman of Chic
ago, who spoke for him at the NATION
mass-meeting, he does wisely to confine
himself to hand-shaking and the ex.
hibition of his rebel lead. The follow
ing extract from Mr.. Scanlan's speech
at Nation, as reported in the Globe
Democrat, is worth reproducing as one
of the curiosities of campaign litera-
ture:
It is not necessary to burn our Custom
Houses to reach u condition of things prac.
tically worse than free trade. A revenue
tariff destroys our home industry and de.
ceives the people. A revenue tariff i'm 1926
reduced the country to abject poverty, threw
the workingmen into idieness and removed

During that period flour sold IN Pittsburs
for 81 barrel, lumber for 81 per 900; il
took twelve barrels of -four to a yard of for.

for So cents. and took in exchange q foreign

were skittish and tenderfooted. The other
club was composed of "big injuns" and buff
faloes from Bonnie Terre, Old Mines and
Pennington, and of course their war paint

vision and reduction of the tariff. The
republican platform of 1884 pledged the
party to correct the Inequalities of the
tariff and reduce the treasury surplus.
And when a bill making additions tn

schedules averaging to per cent. the
republican press and the republican,
leaders cry out in protest against "a

the American laborer that Gle velanl

Just what interest Cleveland would
have in running the business of a coun-
try which has honored him with the
chief magistracy, is not made clear, nor
is it explained why multitude Con-
sisting of one-half the electors of the
republic should think it polite and de-
si-abie to bring pauperlsm upon all.
The cry is false alarm sounded by the
protected interests which, if they were
wise. would accept the slight cut made
by the house tariff bill and say moth
ing. But they are hard masters, as
the repu blicsn party which h as become
their servant, Is finding out. Men of
supposed character must stultify them
selves in order to serve the demon of
protection. Protective are to become
prohibitOry duties; any reduction is
treason; and the party of great moral
ideas would make whisky free of tax
rather than touch the protective feat
ure which in the days of Its truth and
sOberness it declared must undergo
dification.-ChicaqO Times.

dices and ambitions which prevent him
from learning. He may be constitu-
tionally or only incidentally unable to
tell the truth: but however that is he
is telling plain, downright, old-fashion-
ed unadulterated lies.
In the earlier years of the present
century the government did little to
preserve statistics, so that the tables
from official SOURCES run only back to
1875, but MIR. Seaman brings his lie
from "the books of country grocer
within the range of official figures by
saying that "a revenue tariff reduced
our country TO like conditions in 1897 -
If Mr.. Seaman knew anything about
American history he would know that
the temporary depression of that period
was due to the wildcat banking system
and worthless paper currency. But
we can let that pass and come to his
figures. Instead of selling for 81 bar
rel in 1887, flour sold for 81 lowest and
S11 81 highest price; lin 1877 lowest
price S4.75 highest price So; in 1888 it
sold from 81 to 50 barrel; and at no
period from 1925 to 1860 did it sell as
low as i'm 1885 and 1886. From 1888 to
1868 coffee sold year after year as low
| as five cents pound, and never higher
than II cents, while the prices during
the Republican administration have
ranged as high as 50 cents. The same
grad of coffee was quoted yesterday at
from 16 to 20 cents-from to 8 cents a
pound higher than it ever was between
1887 and 1S6G-a period during which a
protective" policy had not unsettled
business, and by forcing it to specu-
lative basis involved In the effects OF
speculative combinations even such ar

affected by the tariff.
Now one more point for Mr.. Seaman,
whose amazing ignorance and agrees
sive absurdity we cannot undertake to
| follow through all its lines, dips, crooks,
curves and meanderings. The year
1920, when he says it took II barrels of
flour to pay for yard of hroadcloth,
was a year of protection. under the
protective tariff of 1916. The "Diction-
| airy of American Politics" (pase 500,
article, Tariff, says on that point:
The manufacturing interests now made a
strong appeal for protection, which resulted
in the FIRST essentially protective tariff In our
history. The act became law on April 81,
1916. This tariff favored specific rates and
introduced minimum duties. A period OF
speculation, competition in manufacturing
| and then of financial depression followed
which led to an attempt to pass another tar
III that S1Oufu De SUI more HtyNtV DFOC6CttUH
The attempt was successful, and on May -,
1924, the country had new tariff, though it
barely passed Congress.
So during the period when, accord
| ing to Mr.. Seaman, the farmer was
giving II barrels Of flour for yard OF
cloth, the country was suffering from
the effects of "the first essentially pro-
| tective tariff in our history.n
Before Republican demagogue can
be successful liar he must have some
faint suspicion of the truth. Mr.. Scan.
Ian can never be a successful liar. His
ignorance is too deep, intense, extensive

High Taxes and Low Wages.

The Arlington Mills of Lawrence
Mass, advertise for ''good weavers on
plain loomS,n with the assurance that
they lean earn from 81 to 50 per week
according to their experience and abil-
ity.'
The Arlington Mills are in the wool
en- industry; an industry whose pro-
duets are protected by tax of over sc
per cent. on consumers, aud "good
weavers" are wanted at from 81 70 So
per week, according to 'their eXper-
fence and ability"
The newspaper business is an unpro-
tected industry, and experienced men
i'm its mechanical departmentearn from
So to S. per day of eight hours or less
And not only is the newspaper publish.
ing an unprotected industry, but the
Times pays fully $50, 000 per year for
protection to the paper industry, and 1t
has no complaint to make against that
protection.
Why are our highly protected wool
en- industries unable to offer more than
from 81 to 50 per week for the best nle.
chanical skill in weaving? The italian
latorers of this city earn as much, al
though their earnings are largely divid-
ed between importers and contractors
in free trade cheap labor; and President
AmmidOwn of the American Protective
Tariff League, confesses to the employ
ment of Huns in his Passaic WOODEN
mills, because they serve HIM better.
Why is this? Why is the truth not
told by WOODEN manufacturers? They
tell us the truth, doubtless, when they
say that the English mills are now fill
ed with American orders as never be-
fore, aud foreign mills and foreign la
Dor are supplying our markets to a
large extent with WOODEN goods, even
in the face Of our 90 per cent. tax, but
thew do not tell us why.
We have tens of thousands of work
ingmen in the wonlen Industry who
are idle and suffering, and they are
compelled to pay tax of some 60 per
cent. on the WOODEN COOL they wear,
and then see Americans largely wea:-
ing English woolens. Does not such
an appalling condition OF industrial
affairs call for honest explanation and
honest remedy?
There is not wooden manufacturer,
nor is there wooden operative, who
does not know that our wooden indus
tries are depressed solely because raw
materials, such as wool, dyestuf, etc,
are free to European mills and labor
that English mills and labor command
our markets.
And why not tell the truth about it?
If employers will not declare the truth,
and will insist upon high taxes and low
wages for labor, with free trade in cheap
imported labor, let American working
men not only declare the truth but
manfully maintain it and demand a
prompt and practical remedy. They
have the power to do 1t; they need but
the will to act with fidelity to them
selves and their families.
Let us stop taxes upon raw materials
and give our home mills and labor an
even chance for their own home mark
ct; let the only free trade that monopo-
ly wants-free trade in cheap labor
be torn up by the roots, and let the in-
dustries of the country think, speak,
act and vote for themselves on the great
issue that is to determine whether there
shall be legitimate protection to legiti-
mate Philadelphia Times.
