A webbing Theorlzer.
(Newa,-k Ledgey.)


There has been considerable talk
about the two counties of Sussex and
Kent going to the Republicans. If
they have a majority of the votes
legally cast, why so much talk? The
blame for this turn assuredly rests on
some one. 1t has been shifted about
so much it seems hard to locate it. The
Saulsburys who have been lucky
enough to hold office for about thirty
years, were turned down at a nOmina-
ton election. To reap revenge they
assisted in defeating the Democrats.
This is one theory To say the least
there certainly was a family quarrel
in Kent and Sussex counties, and
hence the result. If Mr.. Richardson
is legally elected, and it looks like it,
why just keep up the quarrel and the
defeat will be greater in 1890.

Mr.. lo. the poor Indian, has been
much written about, and yet, as a
subject he is not exhausted To
llarper's Magazine for August, c. II.
Farnham, that veteran traveller
through Canada, has contributed an
interesting article on the Montagnais
Indians, who live in the neighborhood
of the Naguenay River The paper
abomds in fresh information, the
domestic and wild life of these Chris
tian red men is therein vigorously
described, the Dominion Government
has had So much less trouble with its
native wards than the United States.
The lines along which the Roman
Catholic priests have worked in their
efforts to bring the Indian out of their
utterly harhavouS state are also clearly
traced. Protestant missionaries might
profit considerably from a study of
these methods Eleven excellent illus
trationS accompany the article

Levi +. Morton, republican can
didate for vice president, is ono OF the
three men who sent a ship load OF pro
visions to Ireland during the great
famine
The republican newspapers are all
publishing the above item in one form
or another; aud they evidently expect
to make q great deal Of party capital
ont Of Mr. Morton's generous and
commeudahle action But it is far
from polite for the advocates of pro
lection to refer in any manner to the
great famine in Ireland When that
famine occurred, in 1915. the falsely
50 called protective system was main
tanned lay the British government, and
provisions sent to Irish ports for char
ity or profit were not permitted to be
landed until the money required to
pay the tariff taxes was produced. 1t
was this great dreadful famine which
forced Sir Robert Ieei and the English
parliament to abandon the protective
policy and open the ports for the az
mission Of provisions, grain and bread
stufs. Continued wet and sunless
weather caused the potato rot, and
caused Il scarcity Of food; and pro
teetiyc laws, framed for the benefit of
landlords, restricted the supply to be
obtained from abroad The twin evils
Of the potato rot and protection We're
more than the people of Ireland could
bear. 50 the latter was removed and
she was granted the blessing Of com
mercial freedom that she might sur
yive the former. This occurred only
y little over forty-two years ago; and
vet there are politicians in America
foolish enough to suppose that they
can secure votes for high tariff tax
alton by prating about the evil effects
of English free trade in Ireland. Free
dom in no form ever injured dear, old
Ireland. 1t is restrictive laws, and
among others those falsely called pro-
tective, that have made her poor and
miserable.

THE OLEO TAX.

The law passed by congress taxing
and regulating the sale of oleomar-
gerine or imitation butter is working
quite satisfactory. \ local republican
exchange publishes the following tes-
timony as to the good results of the
law:
Hoard thinks there is no better
way Of accounting for tolerably we'll
sustained price Of butter in this
country, than to conclude that the
practical suppression of the great bulk
Of the OleO butter, once manufactured,
has left more of the demand for but
ter, to be filed with the pure, honest
article. Certainly the number of
pounds Of pure butter made have in
creased over the production of three or
four years ago; still the summer
price for creamery butter touched
lower figures then than we saw in
1897, or have yet seen this season.
The business is certainly on a better
basis, SO far as butter is concerned,
than before the law was passed.
There may be other and lesser reasons;
but the passage, and the fairly good
enforcement OF the law, has done an
immense good, both TO the farmers,
and the consumers who have had the
pure instead Of a spurious article to
use"
The chief articles upon which inter
nal taxes are levied are whiskey, tobac-
60, and oLEoMAEGERINE. The repub-
Iican platform specifically declares
that we favor the entire repeal of in
ternaI taxes, rather then surrender any
part of our protective system" Think
Of that, farmers The leaders Of the
republican party would deluge the
country with cheap whiskey and to-
bacco and cheap oIeomargerine, rather
than suffer any reduction of our sea
board taxes. Worse than that even,
they would increase those taxes still
farther "by such a revision of our
tariff laws as will tend to check the
imports Of such articles as are pro
duccd by Our people"
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1888-07-20

In all friendliness The Democrat
would advise the republican editors Of
southwestern Wisconsin to cease print
ing as editorials the tracts sent out
by tariff associations, and to publish in
stead their own independent thoughts.
BY the conflict Of honest opinions,
stoutly asserted, truth is brought out
and error overcome Let our repub-
liean brethren Of the press refuse to
take their political economy second
hand from the bencGciaries Of tariff
taxation, but on the contrary, preach
only the light as they see it, and they
will both improve their Journals and
cdify their readers.

Some High Tariff Trusts.


There is no question but that the
present high tariff encourages the for
nation of those monopolies that are
now commonly known as trusts, =
and that 4 reduction in the duties
would seriously cripple them and once
more permit prices of necessary com
modities to be regulated by natural
laws and free competition. In a re
cent speech ON the Mills bill Congress-
man Bland gave the following as a
partial list of the " trusts" together
with the amount of bounty, the present
tariff allows them to collect from the
people, also their expense for labor,
and the excess of tariff bounty over
the amount they pay in wages, The

age per cent of tariff protection. the

The Galena Gazette is striving hard
