Theory and Practice.

Said the Hon. Roger @. Mills in his
speech opening the discussion on the tar.
III bill:
'',The tariff robs the farmer on one side
by increasing the price of what he buys;
it robs him on the other by decreasing the
price of what he sells"
That is pure theory, drawn from the in
ner consciousness of Mr.. Mills, with moth
ing whatever to sustain il. Now for the
practical side. An old and successful
farmer of Collinsville, Ills, writes to The
Chicago Inter Ocean:
Since 1862 have carefully, and think
impartially. weighed both sides in the
matter by studying all the British and
American authors on political economy,
from Adam Smiths works to our present
authors. In addition to this theoretical
part can add over forty years experience
in practical farming, some twenty seven
of which have been under our present
protective tariff rule. and in the light Of
both theory and experience / find that
Abraham Lincoln's declaration, that the
protective principle was certainly friendly
to the farmers, is true beyond the shadow
of a doubt. But facts are better than
theories. Ny account books for 1887
show that given quantity OF my farm
products bought me 79 per cent more of
all the man ufsctures which l needed last
year than ike equivalent Of similar
products bought me in 1859; or that after
twenty-seven years under protection my
products viii buy NE nearlytwice az much
Of manufactures as they did IN 1889 under
the so called free trade rule.
Thus theory and fact come into irrecon-
cilable confict.-Troy Times

One year ago President Cleveland &C.
cepted for the nation the statue to Jam es
A. Garfield. A Democratic administra-
ton had run for two years. The mask
OF civil service reform had not fallen.
The professions of reform were main
tanned. Looking to the spells system as
the ultimate cause of President Garfield s
assassination, his successor, who has
dealt civil service reform the most fatal
blow of the generation, said:
1.-The discovery of the origin and hiding
place of these hateful unnatural things
should be followed by g solemn resolve to
purge forever from our political methods
and from the operations of our govern
ment the perversions and misconceptions
which gave birth to passionate and bloody
thoughts. If our watchfulness against
the dangers of mad chase after partisan
spoils be quickened the dedication of this
statue to the people of the United States
will not be in vain"
This was one year ago. and the events
of the year are better comment than we
can make on the solemn resolve" to
which Grover Cleveland called the nation.
A clean sweep in federal office. conven-
tons packed by office holders, the entire
secure denomination for its head-this
is what the speaker of year ago has
done Ito purge forever from our political
methods and the operations of our govern
ment" the spoils system.
THE dangers Of mad chase after
partisan spoils" are palmer than when he
spoke, and he has made them so. Many
q man believed in President Cleveland
sincerity year ago when he made this
speech. We doubt if a voter in either
party does today. Out of his own mouth
comes the condemnation of the policy to
which he and his administration have
surrendered.
1t would not be possible for Grover
Cleveland to look an audience of his fell
low citizens in the face today and repeat
this speech of one year ago.-Phiiadel-

One That yviI.seear Teiliag Again.

A certain fort in the far west, so the story
goes, was in command Of a major Of artil
lery who was constantly la,nenting that his
faporite arm could not be more frequently
used against the Indians. Finally one day he
took one Of the small howitzers, which de-

edge of the bluff The major remarked
something about the moral effect the exhibi

Failure Due to the Mills Bill.

The Mills bill has already been the d.
rect cause of g 900, 900 failure in San
Francisco. William T. Coleman & Co.,
extensive dealers in California fruits,
wines. salmon and borax, with large branch
houses in Chicago, st. Paul. Kansas City
and New York, depended upon the sale of
borax properties to enable them to fulfill
large contracts. The Mills bill placing
borax upon the free list appeared in time
to prevent the sale. and the firm. not
withstanding it was solvent, had to go to
the wall The Mills bill also places fruit
upon the free list, and if it should pass it
would be certain to ruin firm with large
purchasing contracts out. The Coleman
failure viii interfere very seriously with
the markets OF the farmers and fishermen
of the Pacific, which were not very good.
and will now be great deal worse. The
wool crop of the southwest and California
is now ready to market, but the free wool
clause of the Mills bill hangs over it with
demand for IS per cent. off or no sales.
This is traditional Democracy. and the
people will have chance to experience
just little of it before the next presi-
Dental election. even if the Mills bill is
not passed.-Binghamto Republican

Possibly Mr. Mills wishes that the sources
Of prosperity were concentrated into sin
gle industry. so that be could extinguish
them at one blow. The wool industry
comes the nearest to being the ideal one
for his purpose Free wool would not
only close factories but it would, by re-
ducing the number of sheep, decrease the
food supply; and by reducing the average
availability of rural land on which sheep
can browse while no crops can be raised
injure the farmers. Perhaps the compre-
hensiveness of capacity for harm is what
makes Mills so anxious for free wool

BILL OF PARTICULARS WANTED.

A Statement. Which Hon. W. n. English
Would Find It Hard to Verify.
Hon. w a English, Of Indiana. is cred.
tied with this statement: President
Cleveland came into power under circum
stances peculiarly difficult and enlbarrass-
ing" In the platform adopted at the
state convention it is stated that coming
into power under circumstances peculiarly
difficult and embarrassing, after long
period of Republican rule"
The Indianapolis Journal pertinently
comments upon 1t as follows:
Mr.. English seems to be deeply i'm.
pressed by the peculiarly difficult and en-
barrassing circumstances under which Mr.
Cleveland came into power. What were
they? The repetition of the statement
justifes Us in asking for bill of particu-
lars. We know some peculiarly difficult
and embarrassing circumstances that did
not exist when Mr. Cleveland came into
power. The Republican states had not
passed ordinances Of secession, and were
not preparing to break up the Union,
as most of the Democratic states
were when Abraham Lincoln was inaugllr-
ated. The navy of the United States had
not been scattered to the four quarters of
the globe and army officers were not re-
signing their commissions every day to
join their states in the reasonable move
ment to destroy the Union United States
senators were not resigning their seats
for the same purpose. The departments
at Washington were not honeycombed
with treason The treasury was not
empty. nor the national credit bankrupt
The government was not obliged to Dor
row money ct l per cent month to
meet current expenses. The government
arsenals had not been depleted of muskets
to arm its enemies. Hostile cannon were
not trained on any of its forts The press
and people Of one entire section of the
country were not clamoring for war be-
cause Of the election of a Democratic
president. None Of these peculiarly diff
cult and embarrassing circumstances" eX-
listed when Mr. Cleveland came into
power. On the contrary, all the states
and ell the people acquiesced in his cleo
ton, and when he assumed the duties of
the office he found every department of
the government In perfect running order,
no treason, no trouble, no friction. an
overlooking treasury. the books balanced
to cent, the national flag full high ad-
vanced. the national authority respected
at home and abroad. and all the conditions
OF prosperous people and a powerful
government. What. then, were the pecu-
Garly difficult and embarrassing circum-
stances under which Mr. Cleveland came
into power1 Nothing in the world, abso-
lutely nothing, but his own ignorance of
public affairs, the lack of trained states
men in his party, and its natural incapac-
ity to administer the government. We
might safely challenge Mr.. English or Mr.
Cleveland himself to name any other diff
fcult and embarrassing circumstances at
tending his advent to power.
