NO FREE TRADE.
a False Cry Raised by Republican Dema-
gogues.

4 False Cry Raised by Republican Dema-
gogues.
The republican party meets every attempt OF
the democratic party TO modify the tarlf by
raising the cry of free trade. The democratic
party came into existence in 1893, under the
teachings OF Thomas Jefferson, and il con-
trolled the administration Of the government
Tor more than sixty years before the republican
party was born, and II never established or at
tempted 10 establish free trade. No democratic
and no declaration iavOring free trade, bearing
the impress OF party authority, can be pro-
dueed. The democratic party believes Ia q
tariff for revenue; a tariff for public purposes,
and not tariff to increase private interests,
and the wisdom Of that policy was exemplihed
by the democratic tariff of 1916, which brought
the highest degree of general prosperity and
the greatest increase of wealth during its exist
ence in the history of our country. Under the
tariff of 1916 the increase of wealth was diiiused
among all the Industries OF the country. Agri-
|culture, labor commerce and manufacturing,
|all felt the impetus of prosperity impaired 10
Them by the tariff. The present tariff aggregates
The wealth OF the country Ia the hands OF the
few, creates monOpolies, and prevents the diff
fusion OF small industries. The industrial
classes are beginning TO understand this and
are becoming educated on the question OF tar
if taxation. The l5,000000 OF the 7,0t0OOO OF
the laboring people who do not work in pro-
tected industries are beginning to inquire how
and in what way the IL per cent war tarih
benefits them. The farmer knows ii increases
the cost OF his clothing agricultural imple-
ments and buildings, and that he has TO take
Just such prices for his products as the mar
kets OF the world give him, and therefore is
unable to see Just how and where he gets back
again what the tariff has cost him. The l,0OO,-
600 OF men employed on railroads, the con-
ductors, engineers, 6remen, brakemen, section
hands, switchmen. watchmen and trein-dis-
patchers, all know that the tariff enhances the
price OF their clothing and housekeeping, but
they do not just see in what way the tariff ben
ehts them. The carpenter, blacksmith, mason,
plasterer and shoemaker know that it in-
creases the cost of living, and the tools with
which they work, but adds nothing TO their
profits, and they, too, are unable TO understand
why the tariff should be considered blessingto
them. The day-aborer, while working on the
streets and in the trenches, knows that il in
creases the price of his hat shoes, clothing, fuel
and other necessaries, but does not increase his
wages, and also knows that labor is free and
unprotected, that wages 60 up and down &C
cording to the supply and demand, and he
therefore does not understand why he should
continue to bear the burdens of the war tariff
twenty-five years after the war, TO benefit the
monopolist of the East All these classes will
do some voting in their own behalf at the
coming election.

estimate have seen of the amount paid annu-
ally by the people in enhanced prices caused
by the present tariff is $3.50, 100000 which is
nearly two hundred million dollars more than
the entire expenses OF the government and
which Is $50 for every voter in the United
States The receipts of the government for the
hscai year ending June so, 1888, as shown by
statement oil the treasurer, is little over one
hundred and twelve million and seventy-hve
Thousand dollars more than the net expendi-
lures OF the government, and the total cash in
the Yeasury on July /, 1888, was $7l4,033,-
4s!77. The plea of the republican party that
this system OF taxation is just right and neces-
sary to protect American labor is shown 10 be
false by the history OF its workings Il pro-
teets capital, but does not protect
labor, and OF the truth of that asser-
ton We have the indisputable living
evidence that under its workings the own-
ers OF many of the industries it protects from
competition have built up the most colossal
fortunes which have ever been accumulated
within the same space OF time in the history of
the world, while the wage-workers, through
whose personal toll those gigantic fortunes
have been accumulated, are no better OFF,
financially. than they were when the present
war tariff was enacted.

THE TRUSTS.
A Direct and Legitimate offspring OF
PrOhibItiye Tariff.

A Direct and Legitimate Offspring OF q
PrOhibItive Tariff.
Prior 10 the enactment Of the present war
tariff, there were no syndicates and trusts or
gained by combinations OF capital to regulate
the price OF products and the wages Of labor,
and to prevent competition by crushing out
small industries. There no importation of
pGuper labor to take the place of American
workmen. No strikes, no lockouts, and no
tramps; and labor, prior to the present tariff
was not compelled to organize for protection
against the exactiOns of overgrown corporate
mOnopolies. Yet we are told that the present
tariff is great blessing. and should be contin-
ued for the special benefit OF American labor.
Some of the great steel-rail millionaires
make as high as II 10000 year. yet their en-
plOyes, who stand in the heat OF their burning
furnaces, and with brawny arms, blackened
faces, blistered hands and sweated brows
manufacture the product out of which they
have made their immense fortunes, are as poor
to-day as they were the day steel-rail manu-
featuring was established. The steel-rail man.
facturers are enthusiastically for the tariff,
not because it gives them Sl7 per ton
protection on their steel rails No, no,
not at all on that account, but solely
for the benefit of their employees ~
speak OF this simply for the reason
that the protectionist places his advO-
cacy OF high tariff solely on the ground that it
benefits labor. Human nature is very much
the same in all business vacations. IL seeks TO
make all the money possible. The protected
monopolist will obtain all the protection he
can and buy his material where he can obtain
il the cheapest employ his labor at the lowest
possible price, ana sell his manufactured prod
ucts wherever he can get the most for them. To
increase profits he will enterinto combinations,
syndicates and trusts tor the purpose of pre-
venting competition and TO depress the price
OF labor.
IL will be remembered that In 1854, when
tariff duties reached their highest average, when
the protected mOnOpolies Of the East were reap
ing their greatest profits and were accumulat-
ing a fortune almost every day by shoddy
clothing and other contracts with the govern
ment when they were fairly walloV'ing in the
wealth forced into their pockets by legaized
robbery OF the people, and, Notwithstanding
they had procured the establishment of pro-
hibitory duties that shut out all competi-
ton, upon the plea OF protecting American
labor, yet in the very face of their
profeSsed solicitude for the welfare
Of the American wage-earner, they
sent their agents and lobbyists
TO congress and procured the enactment on
July l. lS64-Amerlcas natal day-when the

FREE WHISKY.
What the Adoption OF the Republican
Policy Would Bring About.

The proposition OF the republican party to
abolish the tax whisky, rather than sur
render any OF the monopoly tax on necessaries,
is abominable and an insult to the intelligence
of the American people, and is an open, I'M
concealed sell-out and surrender TO the tariff
monopoles. Grant, Arthur and Garfield adj
vised tariff reduction. The republican national
convention in its platform of 1884 pledged the
party 10 correct the inequalities OF the tarii
and to reduce the treasury surplus. Mr.. Blaine
accepted the nomination for president, in
dorSed the platform, and pledged himself to
carry out its principles. In 1888 the party de-
clares there are no inequalities to correct; that
no reduction of tariff taxation should be made,
and il any reduction of taxation is made il
must be made on tobacco and whisky. The
whisky tax is voluntary tax, for
necessaries OF life. lie who drinks whisky
pays the tax and he who does not drink pays
none of the tax, and there can be no question
that the high price of whisky caused by the
tax has decreased its consumption as q bever-
age. OF all the drinking beverages used in
this country whisky is the most hurtful. Ii

brain-racker and crime-producer, and yet the
republican party 10 procure the aid of pro-
tected monopolies is willing to make il Tree.
The prospect now is that we will have the
greatest corn crop produced during the last
quarter of n century. A prominent distiller
informs me that from four and one-fourth TO
four and One-half gallons OF whisky Is manu-
featured from a distiller's bushel of 6fty-six
pounds-seven-eighths corn and one-eighth
malt and rye. II the republican party succeeds
in abolishing the tax, the price OF whisky will
not exceed Is cents gallon. II will be
cheap as glass OF soda water, and, rs the

The Republican Policy In the Interest of-
Foreign Manufacturers.


Those who favor the continuance of the pres
ent war tariff are the genuine friends OF En-
gland. The republican party boasts that it be-
Ieves in walling America in, which means that
England shall continue TO have a monopoly OF
the worlds trade. The democratic party favOrs
policy that would let America out. A policy
that would give American resources, skill and
enterprise chance, which is all that is neces-
sary TO make America the leading manufacture
ing aud commercial nation Of the world.
policy that would soon drive British trade and
commerce from the seas This is not Boosting
The trade experience of this country before the
the war, under low tariff, shows what this
country can do when she has chance. In
1860, under democratic tariff, we exported in
manufactured goods, l415 per cent. OF our
total exports. In 1850, after twenty years Of
high tariff, we exported in manufactured goods
only "a per cent. OF our total export From
1880 TO 1860, under low tariff American vessels
carried 81 per cent OF foreign tonnage entered
at American ports. From 1850 10 1887, under
the present war tariff, only p per cent of our
foreign trade was carried by American vessels.
We imported in 1887 from North American
countries $3.50, 700, S43, and exported to those
countries only $73425,94S We imported from
Central American states s. ,637 6jl and exported
only &, 935, Az. To this condition has the pre-
sent Chinese system, advocated by the repub-
lcan party, reduced us even in the trade with
our nearest neighbors. II the present tariffs con-
unued few years longer, American commerce
will be a thing of the past, and fully agree
with the Chicago Tribune when it says that the
West has paid tribute 10 Pennsylvania and
New England long enough. The present war
tariff has been fully as disastrous 20 the farming
interests of our couatry as it has been to trade
and commerce. In 1850 the census showed the
entire wealth OF the nation to be 5000, 600 O00
Of that the farmers owned $4,0O0,000000 In
1850 the census showed the wealth of the nation
20 be $l600OO00000 and of il the farmers
owned IS, 00O,000,0O0. In 1880 the census showed
the wealth of the nation to be $436000O0000
and Of il the farmers owned only Sl2.OOO,OO0OOO.
