W. D. KELLY ON PROTECTION.

The exposition, "How Protection Pro-
tects." by the Hon. w. d. Kelly, in the
February Forum is a disappointment. The
reader had the right to expect from the
pen of the so-calied Father of Protection, "
and by reason of the previous announce
ment of the forthcoming article, something
that would give him not only an accurate
statement of the effect of protection at
home but valid reason why the system
should be continued at this day, and how

Yet NOT one single fact or figure In expla-
nation of either side of the question Is
presented, though great deal Is told Us of
how the poor, weak, struggling u. S. may
o. prevent their own humiliation by
pursuing methods heretofore adopted for
the same purpose by our fathers, one hun
dred years ago.
Opening with the statement that our
tariff reformers are "seCts of discordsnt

whose course, it would seem, proves the
truth Of Mr.. Mills definition, as far as the
Englishman Is concerned. No other au-
thority is cited, except our own practice.
Americans not being rapacious, according
to Mr. Kelly, protect themselves from the
Englishmans rapacity by throwing wall

1t is, perhaps, not generally known out
side the Court House, but it is fact that
each one of the county officers, clerks and
deputies pay out more money each year for
balls and rattle tickets than any ten men
in the county combined. For example
Recorder Arnold pays out nearly $225 per
year. Sheriff Morrissy dropped $3.50 last
season. Clerk Taylor invests about $500
per annual in raffles for blind horses, etc,
Finlen as much more, Helmig and Kelly
$3.50 to $500, and so 1t goes. Now with
any county officers salary, this sort of
charity would seem to be an expensive
luxury. The amounts are enough TO cloihe
their families, while they derive no bene-
fit from 1t whatever. The sole reason and
the only excuse for this persecution is the
fact that these men have been elected to
office by popular vote, and the Court House
is the first place every man, women or
child with subscription paper PUSHES 70.
1t dosn't seem to be quite the fair thing,
but we don't see how they are giving to stop

they mount howitzpr a, each entrance to

ABOUT WAGES.

The statement of the FREE TRADER,
that there can be no permanent wide dit
ference between the wages of labor in this
country and England In the same leading
industries of both countries, is met by the
Ottawa Republican with few facts, which
are claimed to completely overthrow such
statements These facts are, that according
to the National Labor Union newspapers,
six hundred English and Scotch carpenters
come over to New York every spring, work
about six months at $3.50 day, and In the
fall go home, taking with them about $500
each for their summers work Likewise
200 brick layers come over each summer,
work for "a day and go home In the fall
with equally well lined pockets. Now If
there was no great difference between the
wages In this country and England, why
should these mechanics annually come
over to New York.
Exactly. And the Republican might
have added that In the iron, cotton, wool,
glass, and about every other great industry
pursued by both Countries there is the same
periodical influx of English labor when

The Inter ocean the other day had the
other side of the zinc manufacturing ques-
ton in reply to an article in the Tribune
last week Both Messrs. Means and Math-
lessen & Hegeler maintain that the tariff
makes 70 difference TO them; but that the
extra profits the tariff gives them all goes to
the workmep. The Inter- ocean, therefore, is
unnecessarily alarmed about the threatened
obstruction of this great industry by the
free traders" The President in his rec
concentrations on the tariff expressly says
that the interests of the workmen should
be guarded and that nothing should be
done to injuriously affect those interests.
All tariff reformers agree to the same
thing. There is not free trader in Amer
lea that would do differently. 1t is not
the workmen tariff reformers are fighting
but those manufacturers who use the tariff
as means for extortion while they grind
the life out of their men.
