Population and Protection.

The truth is that no comparison can
be made between any of the countries of
Europe and the United States. Those
countries must be compared with each
other, for they have the same conditions
of crowded population, fixed social class
es, and a paternalism in government
that is common to them all, varying
only IN degree. Such a comparison
puts England at the head of Europe in
the wages of her workmen and the ac-
cumulations of wealth. But England Is
not in all respects equal to the United
States. because she has a population of
40, 900, 900 crowded into a space suited
for 20. 900, 900, while we have 60, 900. 900
enjoying the space and the resources
that would be ample for 100000, 600.
Each one of our people has now the ell
bow room, the resources, and the oppor-
tunity of five men. Protection did not
do it, and can not wholly undo it.
Wages are higher in the newer than in
the older parts of the country, because
in the old States the population is denser
and each man comes nearer being re-
stricted to his own share.-SaR Fran

Reducing the Surplus,

The disposition of the surplus in the

question has our attention, and that is

tives. Since the discovery and intro
ductiOn of DR.. Kings New Discovery

marked deer as : in the mortality from

In a Dilemma.

Republican senators are sadly puzzled,
The NJ lis bal! is now in their hands. 1t
is veritable white elephant that they
know not how to dispose of. A variety
of expedients have been suggested, none
of which are free from difficulties. As
republicans they cannot indorse the
democratic measure. But on the other
hand it is extremely unsafe to introduce
bill recommending reduction of the
tariff in any form. In the first place it
would clash with the Chicago platform,
which opposes the loss of ANY part of
our protective system" In the second
place it would displace the manufacturers
and put an end to the fat-frying business.

if the Mills bill is pigeon-holed and
nothing in the shape of tariff reduction
is substituted, away goes Minnesota.

voted for the Mills bill. has Il Morse fol-

No COmparisOn.

The persons who expected that the
nomination of Gen. Harrison would re-
new the '.Tippecanoe and Tyler too"
style of campaigning have found out that
1888 is not 1910. 1t may be well to tell
what 1910 was. William Henry Harri-
son was an excellent soldier and a
''horse-sense' administrator. Hewa as
devoid of political opinions as billiard
ball is of hair, and as destitute of politi-
cal convictions as sheol is of snow or a
hens mouth of teeth. Either party
could have nominated him with equal
safety and suitability. He was elected
to vast and delicate civil trusts because
he had killed Indians and had lived in a
house of logs. No evidence exists IL
show what kind of president he
would make. He died a month to day
after he took office, of fever which
killed hIm because place-seekers had
worried his bodily strength all away.
The presidency went to Vice President
Tyler. He was captured by the demo.
Gratis almost at once. The whig victory
of 1910 was a democratic triumph. The
1910 campaign was avociferous national
insanity. 1t was decision that was the
product of national moral drunkenness,

Save the Trees.

The Democrats propose to make lum-

to continue the prohibitory tariff. If
the Republicans succeed in maintaining
the present tariff in a very short time
our forests will be thing of the past,
There are immense forests in Canada,
but they have been bought up by few
manopolists who, upon the destruction
of our forests, would form a trust and
raise the price of lumber beyond the
reach of the poor man. The rich man
with unlimited means could go to Can
ada and buy whatever lumber he de-
sired. but the poor man with his few
dollars would be forced, if he wished to
build him little home, to return to the
mud house and thatched roof. Less than
sixty men control the tiInbered lands of
the United States to-day. This system
of prohibitory tariff Is maintained solely
for these few men and against the inter-
ests of the other 59,999, $40 people, the
consumers. 1t is the tax upon such
necessaries as this, where the benefits to
the few of prOhIbitory protection are as
nothing compared 10 the injury of the
whole, that the Democrats propose to

Garfield.s speech In 1873.

l believe that we ought to seek that
point of stable equilibrium somewhere
between a prohibitory tariff on the one
hand and q tariff that gives no protec-
tion on the other, What's that point of
stable equilibrium In my judgment it
is this: A rate SO high that the foreign
producers cannot flood our markets and
break down our home manufactures. hut
not so high as to keep them altogether
out, enabling our manufacturers to COM
bine and raise the prices. nor so high AS
to stimulate an unhealthy growth of
manufactures. In other words, | would
have the duty so adjusted that every
great American industry can fairly live
and make fair profits; and yet so low that
if our manufacturers attempted to put
prices unreasonably the competition
from abroad would come in and bring
down prices to q fair rate.
