CONGRESSMAN FITCH, of the 18th New
York district, who voted for the Mills bill,
was elected as republican. When he
made his canvass he promised the people
that if elected he would vote to reform the
tariff. He has kept his pledge. An at
tempt has been made to create the i'm
preston that his constituents disapprove
OF his course, and that he will be defeated
n reelection because of his vote on the
Mills bill. Mr.. FITcH, however, has just
received message signed by over $500
republicans of his district, which says:
We desire to say that you have redeemed
your promise to us and our promises
made in your behalf to our neighbors and
friends who gave you their votes and elected
you by an unprecedented majority. The voters
who elected you approve your action, aud
will support you if you are a candidate again.
and you would in our opinion be reelected by
much larger majority than you received in
1886.
There are thousands of republicans all
over the country who endorse Mr.. FITcH's
course, and who repudiate the free-whis-
ky-monopoly-tax-platform adopted at Chi
cago. They will be heard from in No
vember.

THE New York Herald, powerful in
dependent journal, declares that son the
Chicago platform the republican party is
already beaten, and shamefuliy beaten" 1t
adds:
But If the republican senators and leaders in
the house have political genius and courage
enough they may easily snatch victory away
from the democrats. II they cast aside the
ridiculous and and antediluvian high tariff
and free whisky plank of their platform,
boldly trample il under foot and present a bet
ter aud more thorough going tariff reform bill
than that of the democrats they can regain
their lost ground, and, in our belief, carry the
country.
This is perhaps true. If the republicans
were to throw their platform to the winds
and pass in the senate a better tariff re-
form measure than the Mills bill (which
is far from an ideal billy, II is not impossi-
BILE that they might succeed in electing

monopoly taxes, and are probably not so
very particular through what party the
relief comes. But there is not the slight

Handicapped by 90 Per Cent.

In the testimony of ALEXANDER Z. KUR-
sHEEDT, manufacturer OF neckwear, laces,
embroideries, etc, taken before President
ARTHUR's tariff commission at Long
Branch, July 81, 1882, he said 1--WE have
TO pay sixty per cent. ad valorem duty
upon it (crepe, the raw material for
ruches), and can only make these ruches
for consumption within this country. We
cannot do any business with Canada,
Mexico, or any of the South American
states. The European manufacturers
monopolize this business, notwithstand-
ing that we have the best machinery in
the world, because we have to pay sixty
per cent duty on the material" "If crepe
lisse could be put on the free list we could
make ruchings and other similar articles
and export them to every civilized coun-
try."-Report Of the Commission, volume /,
page 25s.

placing their raw materials on the free list
and thus enabling them to compete sue
cessiully with their foreign rivals, who
already have free raw materials. The en-
actment OF this bill would unquestionably
stimulate the manufacturing interests OF
the country, enlarge iron markets, i'm
prove the demand for labor and conse-
quently its wages, and promote the pros
perity of all the people. The bill, if made
a law, would give America share of the
trade which England now monopolizes.
1t is strictly an American measure, and

The War Tariff.

In 1861 an average tariff Of Is per cent.
On dutiable articles was thought to be
high enough to pay the war expenses of
the government and provide adequate
protection to American manufacturers. In
1852 the duties averaged SO per cent, in
1868, S3 per cent, in 1864, 81 per cent.
Last year, 1887, they averaged AZ per
,ent. They were higher than in any for
ner year since the government was
bundled, except 1867, when they were also
A per cent, and 1866 and 1868, when
they were 4S per cent. The following are
the official figures for the last twenty
eight years, as taken from the annual re-
port of the bureau of statistics of 1887:

Receipts from

The average for the % years. 1861 to 1887,
inclusive, was 4O.32 per cent. The Mills
bill makes the average 40 per cent. And
yet tits denounced as a free trade measure.
The average from 1861 to 1865 was 81
per cent. From 1865 to 1870 it was 46 per
cent From 1871 to 1877 it was Al per
cent From 1881 to 1887 it was A per
cent Until the last ten years the manu-
factuiers were burdened with various in
ternal taxes which have all been removed.
And yet they object-or the more greedy
of them do-to reductions in the taxes on
their products which leave them, on an
average, with as high protection as they
received when they had to pay heavy in
ternal taxes.
We advise our readers who are inter-
ested in the tariff question-as who is
not file away the above table for future
reference.

THE democratic party says: ave favor the
entire surrender of the protective system rather
than repeal any part of the internal revenue
taxes.'-Journdl.
Good heavens, neighbor, what an un-
blushing lie! The Mills bill, Endorsed in
the democratic platform, and supported
by substantially the entire democratic
party in congress repeats a very large part
of the internal taxes! The same bill re-
duces the tariff by beggarly per cent,
or from AZ to 40 per cent.

~HE republicans are telling the people
that the Mills bill takes taxes off of
Northern products and keeps taxes on
Southern products. This is rank false
hood. The most important Southern pro-
ducts are cotton, wool, sugar, rice, whisky
and tobacco. Cotton is already on the free
list, although Southern cotton completes
with that raised in India by the cheapest
labor in the world. The Mills bill leaves
cotton on the free list. Texas, the state
from which Mr.. Mills comes, Is
the second largest wool growing
state in the union. The Mills bill puts
wool on the free list. 1t takes 20 per cent
off the sugar duty, and makes a reduction
in the rice duty. 1t leaves both import
duties and internal taxes on whisky and
tobacco. The republicans propose to leave
|the import duties on these articles, but to
take the internal taxes off, thus giving the
producers large protection while relieving
them of the burdens they would carry. Ii
there is any discrimination in the Mills
bill it is against the South and not in favor
of it.

THERE is no doubt that, as Mr.. BYNUM
said in recent speech in congress, the re-
peal of the tax on cigars, cheroots and
cigarettes would be "a most serious blow
to large body of organized laborers."
1t would, in all probability, wipe out the
cigarmakers' union. Every cigarmaker,
if he consults his own interests, viii vote
against the republican programme, which
would take the tax entirely off of tobacco
and manufacturers of tobacco.

EX-SENATOR WHITING, for many years
the most prominent republican in Bureau
county, Illinois, is out for CLEVELAND.
Senator WHITING is a farmer, and has
made thorough study of the tariff ques-
ton. He believes that the excessive du-
ties now levied on imports are destroying
the agricultural interests of the country,
and that unless the tariff is reformed all
the farmers of the West will be
ruined within very few years. He will
stump Illinois for CLEVELAND, and it would
be an excellent idea il he were to be in
vited to Indiana to make few speeches
We know of no man in the country who
is so well qualifedt to enlighten the farmers
on the tariff question and show them how
they are systematically plundered by
monopoly through the AZ per cent war

THE London Daily Ne,cs has procured a
copy Of the Mills bill and is annoyed to
find that it is not free trade measure.
"An examination of the bill seems to
show" it says, that while reducing taxa
ton it is more a protectionist measure
than the law it is intended to supersede."
This is true in the sense that the bill gives
American manufacturers legitimate pro-
lection, which they do not now enjoy, by

in he senate will do so wise thing. If

Their bidding. The only party which Of

SAYS Blatherskite FINERTY's Irish Citi-
zen:
The Mills bill is Southern and English in lis
every phase. Almost everything raised or
manufactured in the South is protected; and
almost every exclusively Northern product,
like wool or salt, is put on the free list The
duty on cotton is not made very much lower,
because cotton is largely manufactured in the
South.
Just listen. "Wool an exclusively
Northern product" when Texas is the sec
ond wool producing state in the country.
And "the duty on cotton" when cotton
is and has been for years on the free list.
1t is ignoramuses like this fellow FINERTY,
who couldn't tell an ad valorem duty from
a dynamite bomb, that talk about the
Mills bill being a free trade measure.

HERE is mystery. Mr.. MCDONALD said in

paying annually $l00,0Q0,000 more revenue
than is required 10 conduct the government.
He said further that the current democratic adj
miuistraton had reduced expenses $10O00000
annually. These things sound well alone. But
here's the rub-the surplus democratic figures
put it at Sl200O0O00. If this is true we have
left $1S0,00,0000 excess revenue for the three
years of democratic rule unaccounted for.-K0-
