A GOOD deal of sympathy seems to have beer

A GOOD deal of sympathy seems to have been
wasted on the dissolute young woman who was
said to have been frightfully burned and dis
figured with acid thrown by Dr. Cox, of Spring
field, Mo. A week is hardly enough for the
healing of such deep wounds she was repre-
scented to have received, and it is reasonable to
assume that she did not go gaily off to her
riage with the foolish victim of her wies with
half healed seams and scars, and one eye hang
ing out of its socket. The fact. however, that
the woman's injuries were greatly exaggerated
by sensation-lovipg correspondents does not les
sen the brutality of Dr. Cox's act in using the
acid.

Wayside lettings. mo. 3.

It is unnecessary TO eat quarter of
beef to determine whether it IS sweet.
The style of argument used by the
average Democratic newspaper, to
prove that protection is robbery of
the poor people, in order to increase
the gains OF the bloated monopolists,
is fairly sampled by a screed very
generally copied into these papers
respecting the tax on salt. 1t is stated
in these words that "this tax is an in
famous outrage, and shocking abuse
of the taxing power of the govern
ment in behalf of the millionaire
manufacturer" This tax is at the
rate of eight cents per hundred pounds
on imported salt,-while on salt made
in the U. 5. there is of course no tax.
1t would be terrible outrage if one
should be obliged to pay such an enor-
nous tax on all the salt he used; but
large proportion of all used is I'M
taxed, while the development of this
industry since it was protected. has
continually been cheapening the pro-
duct to the consumer. till the farmer
now pays for it less than One-third of
the price he paid when it was free.
The price of salt made in this country
from 1870 to 1880 fell from p cents
per bushel to 10 cents per bushel, and
Liverpool salt can be bought for 20
cents per sack which cost s.. so per
sack when free. Now as | said, a
large proportion of the statements in
reference to the protective policy
made by Democratic authorities, are
as dishonest and false as this, and yet
several millions of intelligent ~ voters
are constantly swallowing this stuff as
law and gospel.
The diverse principles underlying
respectively the protective policy on
one hand and the revenue tariff on the
other. may be succiuctly indicated in
propositiOnal form.
The protective policy is based upon
the axiom that the instinct of self
preservation is a wise provision of
nature TO be needed wherever life is
worth preserving. whether of indi-
vidual or of nation; that the happi.
ness, comfort. interests. industries and
general wen-being of those of our own
households, communities. states and
nation are paramount, and TO be pro-
ted as against any other land or nation.
That diversity of industries, the de-
vei0pment of all the resources within
our own territory, the establishing
and fostering of our home markets for
our surplus products, thereby retain
I ing within our own country for the
use and behO0f of our own citizens

over to aliens who never have and
never will give penny for the sup
port and maintenance of our govern
ment. laws. institutions, or markets, or
do aught but scramble and fight for
our custom and the control of our
markets, to the damage and destruc-
tion of our industries and our wage
earners, all through the connivance
and aid of the free.trade party: this is
what is meant and what is included in
the grand, the beneficent and most
truly American policy of protection
to American Industries.
While on the contrary tariff for
revenue, as indicated by the very
terms used, means simply and only
scheme to raise so much money. for
governmental expenses. Could the
money be obtained in any other way
would gladly be done. Most theoreti-
cal free-traders contend that direct
taxation is indeed the proper method
for obtaining revenue, and the tenacity
with which the Democrats hang on to
so much of the internal revenue sys-
tenn as remains. shows how they would
do the tariff if they dared. They
would destroy every particle of pro-
lection as soon as possible, or as they
dared, and we might stand our chance
in the markets of the world in compe-
tition with all the degraded and
pOverty-stricken wage.earners of the
entire universe.
This believe is, without a shadow
of eXaggeration, the differing results
that would accrue to this nation from
the preservation and administration
by friendly hands of the protective
policy on one side, and the destruction
of this and its supersedure by the
southern, ex.rebel, Democratic and
English policy of free trade or tariff
reform, on the other, if carried out to
their legitimate ends.
