invention, and soon a way is rounI
making the article at less than the cost
and the consumer then gets a further
benefit The sum total of the mat,er :.
that whereas at the start the Enronasr
manufacturer had things all his own
way, both in quality and in price. at the
end we have the benefit of the prof, on
the industry, the benefit of lower price
the benefit Of independence in that sne.
cial industry, and the benefit, most Ike
ly, of improved quality. That this is
the actual operation of the protective
tariff in most cases is simply beyond
question.
Here are two examples; A few years
ago no Russian sheet iron was made in
this country, and what was imported
sold for eighteen cents a pound. A du. |
tY Of two and half cents pound was
imposed, the manufacture was begun
here, and new Russian sheet iron sells
at eight and half cents a pound. The
price has not changed in Russia.
Take another case: The duty uvon
chloroform is fifty cents pound. but
is made and sold for thiry.
FIVE cents a pound. or actually fifteen
cents less than the duty. How DIES
this happen? The competition fr,m
abroad was 50 light that our chemhts
began to try to make chloroform with
alcohol. They succeeded, and the prce |
fell far below the European level. Thse
are only specimen cases, but they prove
the fact that the duty tends to KEEP
down the price, fact which free t,adrs
persistently and mendaciously deny.

Remove the tax on tobacco. Thai
will take off S32, OOO,O 900, relieve ar
immense number of farmers from vexa-
tious restrictions, cheaper the poor mans
luxury-tobacco- break down the
rich manufacturing monopoly.
Remove the duty on sugar. That
will reduce the revenue $55, 900, 900,
and take tax 81 OF off of every person
in the country. Pay bounty for every
pound of sugar raised, which will cost
next year $6,OOO.OOO.
Take the tax off fruit and brandy,
and give rebate on spirits used in the
arts and manufactures. This will give
a reduction oe $40, 100000.
Increase the duties on foreign wine
LIQUORS. and beers This will reduce
the income at least S., 100000.
This will be a net reduction of $94.-
900, 900, which is enough.
Increase the circulating medium by
making compulsory the purchase and
coinage of 81, OOO,O 900 silver per month,
and in such other ways as will be found
best.
Protect the ballot everywhere. Make
suppression of the ballot and sWindling
at elections as any other form of treason
to the government.
Make cooperation cheap and easy
and protect it BY national laws.
Reduce letter postage to one cent.
If the Democratic House will do all
these things the Republican Senate will
agree to them.

A Calomel Doctors Statement.

Occasionally our regular calomel
men, pick up a truth-teller among
them. AS in case of DR.. Padgitt OF
the Tennessee legislature, of course
his brethren call him bad names, but
they will be benefited by taking
what he says into prayerfull consid-
Grafton. This was a bill brought be-
fore that body to regulate the prac-
tice of medicine, and rule out all but
old school doctors. DIR. Padgitt an
allopathic physician, who fortunately,
and for the good of his people, was a
member of that body, opposed the
bill, and said it was an effort of the
state to rule out all schools, but the
allopathic. He said, while he was
one, yet that practice was going to the
wall, as science had proved it fail
ure, and this bill was to hedge out
successful physicians. He would OPP
pose it, and defied any physician in
Nashville, to tell him what effect
calomel had upon the human system,
only to knock out teeth, and holes in
jaw bones.-[Eclectic Medicine Jour-
