THE PROTECTION FALLAcY
Laboring Men Read.

The Peabody, Massachusetts, Reporter,
the organ of the working people of that man
ufactEriDg hive, Independent in its politics,
puts to the protectionists some very pointed
questions which that journal would like TO
have answered, and which, it says, seem to
call loudly for tariff reform. The Reporter
says:
The papers are all speaking about the dizziness in
the iron Industry saying that the mills must close
and a vast number of workmen must be thrown out
of employment Yet the duty on stee tSer ~
protect the workmen ninety per cent for pig iron
and 40 for iron ore amounting 70 mons anu l.
turers and made them the wealthiest class OF peo-
pla in our country but there is no workmen in the
county worse off to-day than the iron,workers
There Is no protection in our shoe business, by
way of tariff, and yet there is ne clasS OF Workmen
doing better to-day than the shoe makers. Can the
All the glass workers in the country have struck;
they say they cannot live on what pay the glass
manufacturers offer them and yet the duty on glass
Is perfecily enormous, placed there TO protect the
glass workers. Yet the glass manufacturers are all
wealthy while the glass workers are not so well OIL
as the WORKERS in our mills that have protection
IN the shape of tariff. Will some protectionist eK-
plain this to us?
vet the per cent sheep is less in this county than
1t was before the duty was placed there the farmers
are killing their sheep and the d wo3l an sSs
tectonist explain this and tell why the eattlemen
who have no protection, are doing SO well?
The duty on coal is fly per cent placed to protect
the coal miners and n vast army of workme In the
coal regions, and yet the same men, who are sup
posed to be protected by this enormous duty, have
recently risen up and declared that they cannot live
upon the wages given them Yet coal is nlgner 70
aav than It was before the tariff was put on, and the
workingman is not so well off as at that time but
tina owners OF the coal minesthey have grown rich
and powerful and yet there is not one product
taken from tho sQi that is not protected but more
Is Sn
ed VIII some protectionist explain this?
We must confess that these duties which We nave
mentioned do protect but they protect the rinh ana
powerful making them more wealthy and arrogant
II Is the middle and poorer class which want pro-
lection from foreign competition: and protection
that lends aid to the rich, while 1t Expresses the
poor should be sharply dealt with
We have had enough of protection for the enor-
mously rich people, and they can no longer hood,
wink the masses upon the method of protection. ~
is these wealthy people who have been protected

pauper labor to come here and compete win ana

TILDEN AND CLEVELAND.
Is76-ISsS.

Twelve years ago the Democratic party en-
tered upon national canvass for the election
of President with an out and out Democrat
us its nominee, upon an out and out Demo
cratic platform. Would it not be well to put
Grover Cleveland on the same platform
The chief merit of his administration is that he
has courageously sought to improve the civil
service, and has taken advanced Democratic
ground in favor of Tariff Revision. But he
has not gone a step further than the promise
of the platform on which Mr.. Tilden swept the
country IN 1876 by 100000 majority.
Here is what the platform of 1876 had to
say in favor of Civil Service Reform:
Reform is necessary in the civil service.
Experience proves that efficient, economical
conduct of the Governmental business is not
possible if its civil service be subject to change
at every election, be prize fought for at the
ballot box, be brief reward of party zeal,
instead of posts of honor assigned for proved
competency and held for fidelity in the public
employ"
And here is its eloquent demand for Tax
Reduction and Tariff Reform.
Reform is necessary in the sum and mode
of Federal taxation, to the end that capital
may be set free from distrust and labor lightly
burdened. We denounce the present tariff,
levied upon nearly 1000 articles, as master
piece of injustice, inequality and false pre-
tence. 1t has impoverished many industries
to subsidize few. 1t prohibits imports that
might purchase the products of Amar Ia
Dor. 1t has degraded American commerce
from the first to an inferior rank on the high
seas. 1t has cut down the sales of American
manufactures at home and abroad, and depict
ed the returns of American agriculture in
dustry followed by half our people. 1t costs
the people five times more than it produces
to the Treasury, obstructs the processes of
production and wastes the fruits Of labor. 1t
promotes fraud, fosters smuggling, enriche S
dishonest officials and bankrupts honest mer-
chants We demand that all custom house
taxation shall be only for revenue"
The voters of the United States have had no
reason to change their minds as to the neces:,
sity of better government or cheaper govern
ment since 1876. The taste of it afforded by
the Cleveland administration has only whetted
their appetite for more. The platform of 1876
is good enough for 1888; and the Democrats
who then supported Mr.. Tilden can have no
excuse for refusing to support any man whom
the Convention may select to carry forward
the same pnlicy Of reform.

WHERE THE MoxgY GoEs.-While it has
been a well.known fact that Western farmers
are loaded down with mortgages, the eEtent
of their obligations was not understood until
an investigation was initiated by the depart
ment of agriculture. The mortgages resting
on the farmers of ten Western States aggre-
gate. it appears, So, 422, O0O, 900, Ohio leading
the list with an aggregate of SOL 200, 600
In Michigan one-half of the farms are mort
gagged, the aggregate debt secured by mort
gage being $3.50, 200, 900. A striking fact of
the situation is that the annual net earnings on
the capital invested in farms in the United
States is but or 5 per cent, while the
mortgages in question command from to 0
per cent. The insurance companies of Hart
ford, Conn, own $40, 600, 900 of Western farm
mortgages, and the loan companies of Boston
hold them to the amount of 10000, 900.

As the steamer Julia, plying between
South Vallejo and Vallejo Station, California,
was about to leave her moorings on Monday
morning, with about seventy persons ON
board, an explosion occurred. Those on
deck were thrown into the water, but the
majority were below the decks, as it was
cold aud foggy. Fire followed the explosion,
and, after being burned to the waters edge,
the steamer sank to the bottom with a great
number of the victims buried under the debris
in the cabin 1t is believed that between 80
and 40 lives were lost.
