Sad Facts for Free Traders.

"As merchant, I can see the injury
threatened by the Mills bill, said we'll
known dealer the other day. 'Take, for
example, the article of starch. There are
200 potato starch factories in this country.
They make about 1900 tons, or $4,000
600 pounds Of starch yearly. With a
duty of 2 cents pound, these factories
have given employment to a large
number Of persons, including lsborers in
the field and skilled workmen in the
factories. These persons are we'll paid.
Take of the duty and what is the result?
German starch will be sent over to this
country in abundance. There the
laborers in the field get mark, or about
a cent day, while the skilled workmen
in the factories are content with marks,
or little over 70 cents day. Thus, you
can readily see, the cost of producing
and manufacturing starch in Germany is
90 small compared to what is required
here, that with the duty of this work in
this country would be entirely stopped,
as il would be impossible to compete
with the imported starch. Owing to the
recent failure of the potato crop and the
high price of this vegetable, it has been
as much as the factories could do to furn-
ish starch low enough to keep out that
produced in Germany, even with the duty
now imposed. In ordinary times the
American factories can make an excellent
starch and sell little below the price of
the imported starch plus the duty. Tho
tariff thinkers rarely take into considers
ton the difference in tho rate Of wages
and the cost of living here and the ooun-
tries where similar articles are produced
The starch business is large and grow
ing industry in New York state. and
should It escape the clutches Of tho tariff
meddlers, viii no doubt increase to
gigantic proportions"

THE EVILS OF THE TARIFF.

That taxation for protective pur-
poses has resulted so far in a contin-
uous waste of capital and labor in
this country is conclusively shown by
the present condition of the so-called
protected industries, and by the his
tory of our legislation on the subject.
The early advocates of the system
proposed it only as a temporary ex-
pedient to aid in the permanent es-
tablishment of certain industries, and
insisted that after a few years of de-
pendence upon the bounty of the
government and people they would
be strong enough to stand alone and
compete successfully with their rivals,
not only in the home market but in
all others. Under the influence of
this argument the first protective tariff
was enacted in 1916, and yet, after
seventy years have passed, many of
the same industries which then asked
temporary assistance only are now
demanding more than double the
rates of duty then deemed sufficient,
and their accredited committees and
organs unanimously declare that un
less these enormous bounties shall be
indefinitely continued the industries
must cease to exist. According to
their own showing, the policy in
augrated nearly three-quarters of
century ago for the purpose of rem
dering them independent and SELF
sustaining has had exactly the oppo-
site effect. Its constant tendency has
been, and is now, to impair their
ability to compete with the products
of similar industries elsewhere, and to
make them more and more depend
ent upon bounties and special legis-
lation for support. 1t has added large
ly to the cost of production by in
creaslng the price Of machinery and
materials and the necessaries of life /;
it has confined the products of the
so-called protected industries to the
home market exclusively, SO that the
amount Of production must be reg
ulated by the domestic demand alone,
and operations must lie suspended
when that demand is satisfied it has
obstructed international exchanges,
thus partially excluding the products
of our other industries from profitable
markets abroad, diminishing thelr
earnings and arresting their growth
and prosperity it has provoked other
governments to resort to retallatory
measures, discriminating against our
products and trade in their own ports
and markets and giving preference to
the products and trade OF our most
formidable rivals; and here at home,
by encouraging capital and labor to
rely upon legislation for profits, rather
than their own capacity, it has greatly
impaired that spirit of independence
and enterprise which is absolutely IN
dispensable to the successful prosecu-
ton of business in this age Of i'm
provement and progress. Hon. ./ohn

Troubles of Polish Journalists.

The Russian authorities in Poland have
redoubled their vigor in connection with
the native press. No Polish editor may
any longer receive any foreign journal
or serial publication. Every year Polish
newspaper publishers We're compelled to
send to the governor q list of the journals
they wished to receive during the year;
hut this list was often curtailed, and the
Journals that were allowed to enter We're
almost invariably defaced by the censor's
brush. This year the governor of Poland
did not even deign to answer the petition
Of the Polish journalists, and all their
foreign exchanges are shut of.-New

Aaron Burr.

Special c0rresp0nd6~ce Of tie G0td Leaf.
Bruton in his work entitled :: Thirty
Years in the u. S. Senate" gives a
sketch of the rise, progress and down
fall of Aaron Burr. That he had
mental abilities of high order can
not be denied. His outset in life
gave promise of brighter future. He
had military genius and aspirations
his country was not ashamed to own.
When the great Montgomery fell at
Quebec regretted by his countrymen,
Burr was standing by his side his
trusted friend. After the disastrous
campaign in Canada, unwisely planned
and executed, Burr sought protection
from Washington, but Washington saw
with all his brilliant attainmentS and
fascinating manners, there was lack
of moral principle in the man. When
the constitution made the candidate
receiving the highest number OF cleo
toral votes President, and the next
highest vice President, it was tie vote
between Jefferson and Burr. The
country wisely inaugurated Mr.. Jeffer-
son, leaving Burr to pursue his down
ward course with his unsatisfed genius
leading him into deeper shades OF in
fanny and disgrace, scOrned and hated
by his countrymen. His murderous
act in killing Hamilton, one of the
greatest men this or any other country
ever produced, placed the seal OF con-
demnation on his brow. Like frat
ricidal Cain he felt that he WAS
Stunned and hated by his country
men. Oh what 4 fall With the
highest ONCE Of his country almost
within his grasp, wanting IN moral tit
ness to maintain his high position, he
lost the confidence and esteem of his
friends, and was arraigned before the
bar of his country as character dan
gerous to her liberties. Arnold's base
conspiracy against his country sent
him forth a miserable exile with the
canker of remOrse upon his soul,
scorned and hated by the world. Cat
oline was denounced by Cicero the
Roman orator as a vile COnsplratOr
against the liberties of his country, and
the gifted Burr was arraigned at the
| judicial bar of his country for base de-
signs against her, and fell like "Lu
clter, son of the morning. to rise nc
more. Had his mind been properly
directed, in his brilliant career he
might have shOne forth as one of the
! IllustrlOu5 benehCiaries of his land
with a fame as bright and undying as
the lilustrOus ones our country thinks
/ OF with pride. Unfortunate Burr had
you fallen like the great Montgomery
battling tor your country's dignity and
her glory, your country would have
shed the tear of regret over your grave
and posterity would have pointed tC
you as one of the brightest ornaments
of our beloved country. '1iS sad tc
contemplate the history of a man viii
such a gigantic intellect, that nigh
have shed lustre upon his country
going down in shades of infamy anC
disgrace for want OF moral principle
to guide him Alright. History vii
point to him as a sad example 0
a ruined, wrecked, and misguided
mind that might have shone forth a
one of the brightest luminaries in ou
political sky. K. W. II.
