aud the same thing would happen in
majority OF cases; the importer and deal

md the only effective method OF keeping
prices at a reasonable level is healthy
home competition which is quite as well
occurred under protective tariff as it
would be with free trade, and in very
many cases is only possible under tariff.

English Farmers

To hear some of the tariff reformers talk
one would suppose that protect is ruin
ing the farmers, aud that free trade would
be blessing to them. If this is SO how
does it happen that in free trade England
where one would suppose there would be
a ready market for oil the farmers can
raise, they are In such distress. We quote
the following from recent debate in par
Lament. Mr.. Henry Chaplin, who fills in
the House OF Commons the role OF the far
mers friend, resumed the debate on the
address in reply to the Queens speech to
day. He commented on the prolonged de
preston in agriculture, and said that the
subject was OF greater importance than the
Irish question: forming perhaps the great
est problem of the time. 1t was question
which the Government must inevitably
deal with at no distant day. The loss by
deficient agriculture was estimated for the
year IS at S2l4, 900, 900; it could not be
less than $3.50, 900, 000-an amount equal
to the reduction OF Ia in the export trade
of the country
Many thousands OF acres OF land have
gone out Of cultivation, and there has been
a concurrent decrease IN cattle and sheep
Another effect Of the depression was to in
crease the masses Of the unemployed. Re
liable estimates showed that zoo, 900 per

agriculture, while those who we're employ.

which IL Right

Atkins OF the Argus and his Bennington
county assistant attempt to call the jour
NAL to account for short article 10 re
cent issue in regard to the tariff on nickel,
in which they say: 1T Is very foolish for
any one to attempt to discuss a a subject
OF which be knows nothing about" We
perfectly agree with this sentiment aud
would apply it to the recent message OF
she President, In that document which
80 pleases our Democratic friends the
President states the number OF articles on
which duty is assessed 10 be 1000 The
records show that the number OF articles
on which duty was actually paid in 1886
was less than one Thousand and there has
been very little change 10 the tariff since
that time.
nous message that the price of prot, cted
articles to the consumer IL increased by
the amount OF duty ieyied. winch is true
o the case OF hardly one Of the thousand
articles on which duty is paid, which fact
can be easily shown By comparing the
price OF the article With it's price in for
eisu countries Home competition in
many cases has brought the price down
almost 10 the level OF prices in foreign
markets. aud 10 hardly any case where
there is large and general consumption
OF a protected article is the price here
equal 10 tina foreisn price with the duty
sdded There is certainly no excuse for
these missistements. The President bas
all the facts before him and is supposed
to take time to investigate them while pre-
pairing 20 important paper ts his
annual message,
We notice that several Of the best Dem
ocra,ic papers 10 the eouatry bave given
protection as the cause Of the extensive
strike 10 the coal regions. when the fac,
is that there is DO duty whatever 90 the
