Foraker's Asinine Bray.

Reason is not an appropriate weap-
on with which to punish such fellows
as Foraker. He blats and bellows and
astonishes small children. Old women
look on him with wonder. No one
has charged him with fealty to any
man or idea. He had the honor OF be-
ing watched by his own friends at Chi
cago. That much has not been said
even to Blaine, who has been disin-
genuous for twenty years.
But since Foraker makes a noise so
loud there must be reply. He is not a
canary bird; he is an ass. 1t is not
song; it is bray; and if the reader
would know why it be bray, and
what it means, the Herald must be pre-
pared with its answer.
All there is of Foraker's bray-when
he is not insulting women-is that there
were rebels: that rebels still exist; that
armies ought to march Southwark and
whip them again. In other words. If
there be a Union it ought to cease, and
be as it was when John Morgan came
up after Foraker.
Because there is Union Foraker is
noisy. He learned to sing his song in
the times when there was no Union,
and an ass. as every one knows. has
but one piece in his repertory.- Chicago

right facts. From January 1, 1879. to
June 30, 1879, taxed quinine was worth
So. 60 an ounce. Since July 1, 1879,
quinine has been on the free list. To-
day quinine is worth less than sixty
cents an ounce. When quinine was
protected, about one million ounces
only were produced in this country an
nually; now the production is 2.20O,OO
ounces. Since putting it on the free
list the quantity produced has more
than doubled and the price has been
reduced from $500 to 60 cents an
ounce When the tariff was on quiz

country was made by Powers & Weight
man and Rosengarten & Sons. When
Congress proposed to put quinine on

counted their wealth by the millions.
wrung from the sick poor of our coun-
try by the strong arm of protective
tariff. proclaimed that an outrageous
injustice was being done them which
would result in the stoppage OF their
factories. But did it? Since the tariff
on quinine has been taken off, two new
establishments for its manufacture
have sprung into existence, more than
twice as many men are engaged in pro-
ducing it and they are paid better
wages than when quinine was taxed.
And by putting quinine on the free list
the saving to the sick of the United
States amounts to more than $780,
900 per annum. If it was possible to
lay a tax on air, the prohibitory tariff
ties of this country would favor it to
protect American industries. Al

RESTORE THE SURPLUS.

The Old Roman Speaks in Words That
Can Not Be Misunderstood.
Allen G. Thurman is a Democrat Of
Democrats. He has never wavered in
his devotion to the principles or in his
support of the fit candidates of his
party.
The sturdy old veteran has taken the
stump for the Democracy, and the first
resounding blast that accompanied the
waving of his red bandana was peal
for tax reduction through tariff re-
form.
judge Thurman is an honest and
fearless man as well as a Democrat.
He would scorn to win an election by
false pretenses. He would rather be
defeated standing squarely upon the
principles of his party than to try and
sneak into Office by pretending to be
just a little less Republican than the
Republicans on the main issue before
the country.
"A tariff is a tax" "This tax is
paid by the consumer of the article -
''How can a laboring man be aided by
a tax that begins with the crown of
his head and extends to the soles of
his feet and taxes every thing that is
between them?" ''How can a coun-
try be made rich by taxing its people
unnecessarily? Restore the surplus
to the pockets of the people who earn
it,
These are the key-notes of the Old
Romans speeches. Compare them
with MIR. Blaine's puerility that wages
can not be reduced without the la
borer's "vote and consent" and with
his defense of trustS.-N Y. World.

PowDERLY ON TRUSTS.


Views That Are Wholly IrreconcilabIe to
Those Of Mr. Blaine.
1t has generally been understood
that Mr.. Powderly, General Master
Workman of the Knights of Labor,
has cherished particular admiration
for Mr.. Blaine, and he certainly did all
he could to promote Blaine's election
in 1884. Various of his utterances
also have conveyed the impression
that Mr.. Powderly favors the pro-
tective system, he being one of the
victims of the Republican delusion that
it is in the interests of labor. Upon
one vital point, however, Mr.. Pow
derby is in harmony neither with Mr..
Blaine nor with the other advocates of
protection. He appeared as witness
before the committee which is now
conducting in New York City an in
investigation of pauper or assisted i'm
migration. In the course of his eX-
a animation, the following highly in
teresting and significant dialogue oc-
Cured:
In reply to question from General Spipcia,
Mr.. Powderly said that trusts in this country
orally and are organized in the interests of a
few to control the output, limit the production
and smother small aggregations of capital In
the same business or crush them out entirely.
He had personal knowledge of coal trusts and
knew that an individual concern could no more
ship coal to this city from Pennsylvania than q
man could fly. He thought the strong arm Of
the law should be outstretched to crush out
this evil.
'Then you do not agree" said Mr. Oates,
at frI1s yvh oh nyiC
lators have no right to control?'
Decidedly not" said Mr.. Powderly. 1--WE
regard them in the same way that we do high
waymen."
"You think. then, that these trusts are detri-
mental to the general interests OF the couu-
tryr' asked MIR. Spnola.
"They are, and should be wiped out Of exist
ence as speedily as possible;
Mr.. Blaine pretends that the Repub-
lican campaign for the maintenance
of protection is in the interests of
American labor. In the speech in
which he sounded the keynote of this
campaign he said: TRUSTS are large
ly private affairs, with which neither
President Cleveland nor any private
citizen has any right to interfere. "
Mr. Powderly, who stands at the head
of the greatest labor organization the
world has known, and who may be
presumed to know what is to the adj
vantage of labor, takes square issue
with Mr.. Blaine on this point and says:
1--WE regard them (trusts) in the same
way that we do highwaymen," and
adds that they are detrimental to the
general interests of the country, and
"should be wiped out of existence as
speedily as possible" by law.
These two views on trusts are wholly
irreconcilable. Let the laboring-men
of the country, who are the parties
chiefly interested, consider carefully
which, from their point of view, is the
most worthy Of credence and of being
followed, Mr.. Blaine or Mr.. Powderly.

THE POLITICAL TuMoR.
About Which tho Republican Doctors Ar
DisaCreeiug.

About Which tho Republican Doctors Are
Disagreeing.
The Republican doctors held con-
sultation in 1884, and their platform
declared that surplus is disease
generous in character, dangerous to
the health of the patient. and if not
removed, perilous to his life. It is
the part of patriotism, they said, to
cut out the dangerous growth and by
skillful medicament prevent its recur-
renee. The people accepted this
sensible and wise diagnosis and urged
an immediate application of the knife.
The Democratic doctors also con-
vened, examined the case carefully and
reached precisely the same conclusion.
There was unanimity for once. In
their pronunciamento you will find
that they substantially agreed, with
the Republican doctors both as to the
nature of the disease and as to the i'm
perative duty to take it in hand and at
once operate.
No matter why just now, but in that
year 1884 the Democratic doctors were
appointed by a popular vote to take
charge of the sufferer and restore him
to health if possible. They went to
work. Mills. of Texas, and his COM
mittee presented a detailed plan of
action. This, that and the other thing
were to be done in this, that and the
other way. With free wool and other
raw materials, the duty on lumber and
other necessaries of life removed or
decreased the patient could have a
house to live in, a good wooden shirt,
not shoddy, and cheaper groceries.
He could have steady work, fair
wages, prosperous home and happy
and contented family.
What is the result? Why, the Re-
publican doctors are having pretty

This condition Of thing is as open as the
day and going oneonstantly, and yet in the
face of these facts. the Republican lead
ers do not scruple, to, charge that the only
thing that makes, tine difference between
wages in this country and In Europe is the
tariff which protects the manufacturer.
Our country is null of examples of men
who have grown enormously r1ch by sell
ing ut the enhanced prices which the tariff
enables them to do, but it does not furnish
q single example of an eMploye OF any OF
these millionaires ever having received
an additional cent wages ON account OF
the profits Of the. employees
Speaking of the benefits to manufactur-
ers with free. raw material, Mr.. MacDon-
aid cited the leather trade, which lam
gushed, until in 1872 hides and skins were
placed on the free list. Under this impetus
the tanneries. were able to furnish enough
sole leather and upper leather for tlse
home demand within Eve years, and later
they began to export these classes OF
leather to Europe. The last report shsws

running on short time or by shutting

the respective countries. The st.
Clair and the Soo," American works,
are open to Canadian bottoms without
charge. American bottoms are en-
titled to use the Welland canal, the
canals of the st. Lawrence, and other
works of like character controlled by
the Dominion upon the same terms as
Canadian bottoms. Both are charged
tolls. But the word of promise is kept
to the ear of the American skipper
and broken to his hope, for Canadian
craft, while observing the form of pay
ment, secure rebates not given to
Americans who have paid tolls. Where
fore the President recommends that
America give Canada dose of its own
medicine.
The country at large, which has
nothing but sentimental interest in
the fisheries question and is unable to
discover reasons why it should be taxed
for the benefits of some cod-catchers
who are constituents of Senator Frye,
will incline to look upon the treatment
of the whole matter since it went to
the Senate as mere maneuvering be-
tween contending parties for an ad-
vantageous position before electors
who viii vote In November. Looked
at merely in this light. ordinary
