The Paramount Obligation.
Under this caption the Washington "a

Under this caption the Washington Rayt
says:
"Under the Morrill, tariff of 1868, bill
framed and passed by protectionsts, the
average duty was 81 per cent. Since then
quarter of u century has been added to the
age of our infant industries. The inventive
genius of the country, fostered by an admir-
able though sometimes abused system of
patent laws, has afforded our manufacturers
many great advantages over their competitors
in Europe. The superior intelligence of our
vorkingmen has also added to their advant-
ages. The average duty under the tariff
schedule as it stands to-day is over forty
seven per cent, or nearly fifty per cent. more
protective than it was under the Morrill,
schedule.
Will any Democrat say that all this protRe-
ton is needed? Will it be seriously argued
that our industries have by twenty-five years
development added fifty per cent to their
a tariff will be required to keep the infants in
health wenty-fve years hence? What will
be the end of a system of growth that calls
for such increased fostering?
The estimated surplus of the fiscal year is
in excess of hundred and fifty millions. No
Congress since the war has been brought face
to face with duty so imperative as is the
reduction of this surplus. The President
and the Ways and Means Committee have
respectively met the obligations imposed by
the situation. The bill prepared is in perfect
accord with the traditions and professions Of
the Democratic party.
1t reduces the cost of the necessities Of life,
and it helps manufacturers by giving them
free material. 1t does not deny protection
where protection can be given without doing
violence to Democratic principles and
pledges. The Democrat who cannot stand
with his party on this measure, ought to be-
deck himself in Republican regalia."

facts concerning it and surroundings.
Abilene is situated on the Smoky Hill river
near the centre of Dickinson county, one of

What farmers who really farm think about
the high tariff is shown by the memorial to
Congress adopted by the Nebraska State
Farmers Alliance at its annual session few
weeks ago. These Nebraska farmers repre-
sent that agriculture is greatly depressed, and
name among the prominent causes for this
depression ''the protective tariff system as it
now prevails, taxing the farmers of the nation
to aggrandize the manufacturers, upon the
plea of protecting American labor, while
pauper labor is left free to come to this coun-
try from all parts of the world. The me-
morialists represent that only small proper
ton of the tax imposed upon the people by
the protective tariff goes into the Treasury,
shut through an enhancement of prices swells
the profits of the manufacturers, who, by virtue
Of our natural advantages, ought to he able
to compete with the world OH equal terms; u
and they point out that our agricultural pro-.
duets are sold in the open markets of the
world in competition with the world, while
the manufacturer, through the tariff, receives
bonus of from Is to 100 per cent on his
goods. While not favoring free trade, they
do favor the extension Of the free list and the
levyng of duties more upon articles of luxury,
the conclusion ofthis vigorous document being
as follows: 'Your memorialists would there
fore most earnestly protest against the removal
of taxes from whiskey and tobacco, and as
earnestly pray for relief from taxation upon
iron, coal, salt, lumber, wool, woollen goods,
and sugar" The President addressed his
message largely to the farmers, and their re-
spouse is very hearty.

The Largest Pension Ever Paid.

The largest pension ever allowed by the
United States Government was on Monday
granted by the Board of Appeals to Cyphert
P. Gillette, of What Cheer, Keokuk county,
Iowa, for total blindness. The claim has
been pending since 1878, and has been re-
peatedly rejected by different Pension Com
missioners. The amount which Mr.. Gillette
will receive is about SIG, 900 in arrears. as
well as a monthly allowance of $72. The
next largest pension ever granted was 10 a
we'll known character in Elmira, n. Y,
known as "Blind Patterson who received
SlS, 322 arrears and S72 month. Patterson
was afterwards charged with fraud and the
money withheld from him to await the the de-
cision the Court, before which the case is
now pending. For many years he has been
led around the streets of Elmira by a shep-
herd dog, begging money for his support. 1t
is claimed, however, that he deserted from
the army in 1864, and up to the time of his
desertion had no disease Of the eyes. Jacob
Dingman, Of Iowa, received pension of S12.-
491 for total blindness, and W. s. Stevens, of
Ohio, got $I2, 346 for similar reason. Fred
erick Gosin, of st. Johnsbury, Vermont, re-
ceived S72 month and Sl1, PIP back pay for
chronic inAammatory rheumatism, which
caused him to be confined to his bed with
great suffering for the last "a years. These
are the largest pensions ever granted.

tober, 1886, he was arrested for corrupting
the city aldermen in buying the passage of a

hausted nearly 800 talesmen to fill the jury

from the jury. He was sentenced on July II

of fine of $1,000. An appeal was then
taken. and on November 20 the Court of
Appeals granted the application for new
trial. Several days had been set for the trial,

Protection of tie few is robbery of the
many. The few are already rich and need no
protection. The many are poor, yet are com
PEELED to contribute to swell the wealth of the
rich. This is the operation of what is called
a high protective tariff, but prohibitory
or ruinous tariff would be better name for
it, one that taxes the poor fer the benefit of
