In a vigorous communication to
The Farmers Voice, published at Chi
ago, Hon. W. E. Rowe, the pioneer tar.
| if reformer, of Arena. Iowa county
Wis, says:
l believe in tariff that will produce
the necessary revenue for the running
of our government economically and
no more, and that should be on arti.
cles we do not produce ourselves, and
particularly on luxuries.
My eyes were opened very percept
! IDLY when in New York city, in 1865, ]
called on an old friend, Mr. Lycurgu:
| EdgertOn, whom / purchased dry
| goods from when l was in that trade
but he had gone out Of the dry goods
| business and was then in the carpet
| business.
"Weu," | said to Mr.. Edgerton
"being that you are in the carpet bust
ness, l will buy what carpets that i:
necessary for my house,
well" said Mr.. Edgerton, "you
can have what carpets you need fol
your house at their cost"
! He took me to the salesman and in
/ troduced me to him, and gave him the
| instructions as before mentioned; he
rolled piece out and told me it was a
| John Bright carpet, manufactured by
the great English statesman, and that
Mr.. Edgerton paid dollar and five
cents duty on it, and that | could have
it for two dollars and ten cents pei
yard.
The salesman than rolled out anoth-
er carpet which was manufactured in
Philadelphia, and Of the same grade,
which | could have for two dollars and
five certs per yard; well | purchased
a roll of each, to see which would wear
the best.
The John Bright carpet is still in
use and the Philadelphia one has gone
to the rag bag long ago. Now, you
see, the government received $1.05
per yard on sixty-fve yards of carpet
-$68.25. Now, it is plain to see that
the Philadelphia carpet company were
benefited to the amount Of sixty-five
dollars by reason of such enormous
protective duties.
Well, call this licensed theft, this
is the way we are robbed in nearly
everything that we purchase, and
nine-tenths Of the people cannot see it..

False Prophets.
The Madison nemncra:

In 1884. the republicans told us
that the election of Cleveland meant
the ruin of the business interests of
the country. They proved to be false
prophets. Now they say the passage
of the Mills bill will ruin business.
What heed should be given to such
soo:hsayers of evil? The people did
not believe them then. The people
won t beliye them now.

Congressman Smith of Milwaukee,
who was elected by the labor party,
in an able letter to The New York
Star gives his reasons for supporting
and voting for the passage of the
Mills tariff reform bill. Among other
sensible things he says:
Il do not believe that a nation can
be made prosperous or happy by tax
alton, nor should republican form of
government like ours exact from the
people by taxation more than is actu-
ally required for an economical ad-
ministration Of public affairs"
In those States that are supposed
TO receive the benefits of a protective
tariff there is more dissatisfaction,
strikes, and lockouts than in States
not 50 protected

neceSsaries of life and the internal
revenue tax off tobacco and whiskey.

whiSkey means more decentralization
and drunkenness, and | cannot give

Protectionists are given to drawing
comparisons between conditions and
prices in 1860 and the present time.
claiming that the contrast presents an
argument in favor of high taxation.
\ correspondent of The PIatteville
Democrat joys their memory as fol-
lows:
In 1860 wheat sold in Mineral Point
for $3.50 per bushel; now it brings
seventy cents. Farm laborers in 1860
could find regular and constant work
the year round at $50 to $25 per
month; now but few can get work at
$l2 to SIS per month and only six or
eight months work in a year at that,
and if they can make their board the
remainder of the year they are happy.
Mechanics then had all the work they
could do at from $3.50 to 50. per day
the year round; now, more than six
months work is not expected and they
are glad to get work at $50 to 81 per
