A Low TAX BOOM.

To President CLEVELAND, Minnesota
congressman, and the Honorable w. D..
WAsHBURN and sTIM'' BYRNEs, the
GLOBE presents this morning page or
more of valuable tariff reading matter.
Contributions from the ablest minds in
Minnesota On tariff reform are not dull
reading this year of grace.
The whole forms the most compre-
hensive and complete Endorsement of
the presidents message that has yet
been given by any Northwestern state.
1t is bread and meat for those represent
ativeS of Minnesota at Washington who
have the courage to combat intolerable
taxation.
1t is singing rebuke to the plea Of
Hon. w. ID. WAsHBURN for free whisky
and the ludicrous boast of Mr.. BYRNEs
that Minnesota would give 10000 ma
jority for protection.
From the states halls of learning to
the agricultural centers there is but one
demand-reduce the tariff-and the re-
duction called for in nearly every in
stance is to the basis of tariff for rev.
enue only.
In one form or other the people assert
that in the abstract all taxation is
wrong; in the concrete to be imposed as
can be made consistent with the eX-
penses of the government.
AS far as these letters reach, it is very
evident that neither free trade nor the
adjustment of the internal revenue is
generally sought.
The first is as yet to be avoided; the
last to be tolerated only so long as ne
cessity seems to exist for it.
To epitomize these letters in a few
terse paragraphs, it might be said that
their argument is
That protective tariff is unconstitu-
tional.
Free Trade a present doubtful expert
ment.
The internal revenue diSagreeable
system of espionage, but still legiti-
mate tax.
Tariff reduction to be from so to Is
per cent.
Tariff taxes to be imposed for revenue
only.
The GLOBE, as the only sincere tariff
reform journal of MinneSota'S capital,
takes pride in presenting these letters.
1t has never blown hot and cold on the
questions involved, nor prostituted its
editorial or news columns to an open
ayOWal of a reduced tariff and secret
combinations with protection. For
every revenue reform publication the
GLOBE does not present in the same
issue an antidOte.
The GLOBE recognizes the tax bur-
dens of the agricultural classes; the
wage inequalities of the laborer; the OPP
preSsive weight resting upon all classes
from this most monstrous system of tax
alton. 1t seeks to throw its influence
and the weight Of the public opinion of
a great state against that system, that
the president may be strengthened and
congress awakened.
In the name of the people it warns
the high tariff advocates and the COM
promise jugglers Of the Northwest, in
and out of congress, that as certain as
the night succeeds the day, just that
surely will they live either to deny their
course of to-day or to suffer the most
complete political defeat to be recorded
in modern times.
Public sentiment grows slowly; once
developed and set in motion, the wheels
of Juggernaut are not more remorse-
less in crushing those who stand in the
way.

The fair mistress of the White House
is entitled to sympathy. When her pub
lie duties are made to include the ac
knOwledging the receipt of patent
ironing board from cOlored man and
brother down in jacksonville, she can
hardly be said to be resting on bed of
roses. This, however, is one OF the pen

For the benefit of future declining
presidential candidates it might be well
to say that it isn't necessary to initiate
Senator ingalls, and declare themselves
either lunatics OF blackguardS to escape
a presidential nomination. The average
man can get out of the fight without
discarding all the qualities and impulses
of a gentleman.

Rumor has it that Gen. James III.
Baker, now in New Orleans, will return
to run for congress in this district this
fall. The programme is to oppose the
regular Republican nominee by all in
dependent candidacy, on tariff refOrh
platform. The rumOr goes so far as to
say that in the event of Bakers run
ming no regular nomination will DO

Qroofs of Gen. Hancock's loyalty to
the Union cause have been forthcoming
by dozens in the press ever since Sen
ator Ingalls, made his unfortunate re-
Elections upon the patriotism of the dead
hero. They are not needed. COllated
evidence on such a point is quite as
superfuous as proofs of the senator's
own LOYALTY,

Senator ingalls, became president of
the senate through the votes of two Con-
federate brigadiers, Malone and Riddle
berger. They are pure and holy in his
eyes, however, because they are now
Republicans. Mcclellan and Hancock
were Union brigadiers, but they died
Democrats. Hence they are beyond
pardon.

welfare requires it. The duty on

is democratic and just, and is not dis
puted; and, if such taxation affords any
protection to the Industries and citi-
zens throughout the United States, it
should be tolerated and encouraged.
But the claimed and pretended right
and power to continue, by Republi-
can aristocracy, including Vandalism,
a protective taxation for the
benefit of the few-EaStern Re
publican ariStocratS-at the eX-
penSe of the great masses of the people
is not for the general welfare of the
United States, nor is it uniform through
out the United States. In presenting
the above inquiry we rely upon the con-
coded fact of our surplus-representing
millions of the peoples earnings, wealth
and money taken from them by protect
i've legislation, and this only represents
ternal revenue, and not the hundreds of
millions of money paid to American
manufacturers, which the constitutional
provision above cited was and is in
tended to inhibit. Is there citizen in
Minnesota who Endorses the faded and
exploded theoretical proposition that
protective policy protects American
labor? If so we desire him to tell us
how it aids the general welfare of the
people of the United States, and also is
it uniform throughout the United
States?
1t was engrafted upon our burdens
during the late war, when American
patriotism was blind to life, family,
home and expense, and is now only
right (So-called) because its existence
has been and is maintained and perpet-
uated by lobby-work and clap-trap logic
in our American congress.

oppose protection because it favors
trusts and monOpolies and discrimi-
mates against labor-in favor of capital.

purchase in the cheapest market and
sell where we can get the best price

Nathan Butler, Barnesville-I do
not believe there is any right vested in
our government to tax the people of the
country to any greater extent than is
absolutely necessary to pay the expenses
of the government, economically admin
istered, according to strict cOnStruc-
ton of the constitution. The most
equitable manner of raising the neces-
Sary revenue would be by a direct tax
on the property of the country. But
