THE FREE TRADE HUMBUa.

IL u lowering of the tariff seven per
cent. means free trade, then Presidents
Grant and Arthur were free traders, as
well as the republican gentlemen Of the
tariff commission who recommended q
reduction of twenty five per cent, and
the hosts of the republican national
convention OF 1884, who advocated a
reduction and equalization Of tariff
taxation. Verify, the Old Roman is
right, when he says there never
was Il greater humbug on earth than
this same preiense. o, il will lead TO
free trade? Is that it? Well, what on
earth is the purpose of protection ac-
cording TO prOtectionisi philosophy, if
it is not to provide n means to render
our manufacturers able to compete with
those of all the world2
What did Con. Garfield say on that
point? In a speech in the house OF
representatives on April /. 1870, Gen.
Garfield said:-'Duties should DO so
high that our manufacturers can fairly
compete with tho foreign product, but
not so high as to enable them to drive
out the foreign article, enjoy a monop-
oily of the trade and regulate the prices
as they please. This is my doctrine of
protection. If congress pursues this
line Of policy steadily, we shall, year
hy unnr unr,pnanI mann nnnrIu IN fhn
basis of free trade, because we shall be
more nearly able to compete with other
nations on equal terms. | am tor a
protection which leads to ultimate free
trade"
What is Mr.. Sherman's view regard
ing itP He is not Il iree.tradcr, we
should hope, and The republicans came
naer. nominating him for the presidency.
In 1868 Mr.. Sherman said:-"Every
advance toward a free exchange of
commodities is an advance in civiliza-
ton; ev cry obstI uctiOn to a free OK
change is born OF the same narrow,
despotic spirit which planted castles
upon the Rhine to plumber peaceful
commerce; every obstruction to COM
MERGE is a tax upon consumption;
every facility to a free exchange cheap
ems commodities, increases trade and
production, and promotes civilization.
Nothing is worse than se%ctiOnalism
within n nation, and nothing is better
for the peace of nations than unrestrict-
cd freedom of commerce and inter-
course with each other" That sounds
a little like Henry George, we admit,
but it was John Sherman who said it,
and it is he and others like him, who
are now making the pretense that a
slight reduction in tariff taxation means
free trade.
If a tariff of forty per cent. average
will not protect American manufacture
ers nothing will, and it is ridiculous
to even pretend that it will not. AS
to the free list that Is composed of raw
materials and will benefit nanu-
factu res.

Jefferson City Tribune :-"Among
the visitors to the convention is Hon.
John G. Tarsney, of Kansas City, who
last Saturday received the democratic
nomination for congress In the fiflh
district. The Fifth district has too
long rested under the misrepresentation
| by Major Warner, and ne state at
large has hung Its head when it was
mentioned. This year the democrats
of Jackson, johnson aud Lafayette
counties propose to redeem their dis
trict, and have taken the initial step in
the domination of Mr.. Tarsney. All
| the old sores have been healed, all
factlonal differences settled and the
slate wiped of. The district demo-
cracy is thoroughly united oil Mr..
Tarsney, and that Q his election.
Mr.. Tarney will also take into the
campaign a personal strength and fol-
lowing that ill do much to insure his
election. His ability as a lawyer ia
pre-eminent and OH the stump he has
few equals i'm the state. He is admit
teddy the best posted democrat on the
tariff in western Missouri, and in on
gress he will be a valuable acquisition
to the ranks of tariff reformers. He is
q brother of the well known congress
man, Tim Tarsney, of Michigan. With
such a leader, and such a cause Us
President Cleveland has given them.
the democrats of the fifth district ought
to DO defranchised if they do not elect
Mr.. Tarsney by 5000 majority.

The United States last year exported
203 900 900 yards OF colored and un-
colored cotton cloths, and sent $4,000
yards to China alone. Cotton is OH the
free list, wool is taxed, and yet a wool
en- operative gets no more wager be-
cause wool ia taxed than does the
worker in free cotton. The cotton
mills arc working full time, and when
wool is made free the wooden mills
will do the same. So long rs we use
ore of imported wool than we do OF
domestic wool, it is clearly for the
advantage of American industries TO
place wool OH the free list, in order
that we may make hero TO the profit of
our own labor, goods we now import,
and may also be able to export 10
foreign markets which England now
exclusively supplies. The analogy
between the case of free cotton and
free wool is a strong and pertinent ar
gument in favor of democratic policy.

The Fathers Of the Future.

Men and women 60 10 the thea.er 10
see a play. The women SIT through il
all, the men rise after each act, 60 out
TO drink or smoke. Being selfish, they
do as they please, and their pleasure
takes into account not at all the com
fort, the convenience, the entertain
ment of the ladies whose escorts they
are. AS matter of fact, to eight women
in every ten the escort pays no more at
tention than the coachman who drives
her home after the performance. The
lobbies of these theaters are filled at
the end of each act by smokers If you
want to have real good, solid fun, stand
at the door and watch them. Look at
the dude as he puts, before he reaches
the lobby, cigarette in his mouth,
and, lest he should lose moment,
feels in his pocket for match. See
them as they stand with their hands in
their pockets, putting away at these
little things.
1t is an interesting study.
They are the fathers of the future
they are the men upon whose broad
shoulders the destinies of Unacceptable
are to rest. They are the sons of the
nation to whom, in her hour of trouble,
the country will turn and lay her weary
head upon their magnifcently devel-
oped breasts.

Rather Particular.

Some years ago two brothers, Wes-
ley and Edward Perrin, kept in Den
yer very handsome saloon and cigar
store. They catered TO the best trade
of the city, and kept the finest goods,
in their line, to be obtained. Such a
thing as a five-cent cigar was unknown
in Denver, and, indeed, a fve-cent
piece was OF no use except for pur-
chasing stamps at the postoffice. BY
custom the nickel was not legal ten
der in the Rocky Mountain region.
Finally, however, one of the customers
of the Perrin Bros, who had been
East and during the trip had smoked
some very good five-cent cigars, pre-
vailed upon the Perrins, after much
persuasion, to import from Chicago
a small stock of the five-centers. After
the arrival of the invoice, the customer
came in one day, in order to give the
innovation his moral support, and
made a purchase of few of the cigars.
Cutting the point from one of them
he was approaching the gas jet used
for lighting the weeds, when Edward
Perrin approached him with deep con-
Germ depicted on his face, and inno-
Gently remarked "If it's all the same
to You, / would much rather you
wouldn't smoke that thing in the
house"
The customer gazed at Perrin in
blank surprise for moment and then
said:
well, your gall is refreshing"
Perrin replied, offering an excellent
Havana: THAT'S one on me. I'd like
to have you stop awhile and talk over
old times. Have regalia. Smoke
with me-"
The customer accepted, and the two
sat down and enjoyed chat together
without being disturbed by the scent Of
q tive-center.- ArkdasdlC TrdUeler.

Teaching by Example.

Yes, brother, you should teach your
child obedience; teach him that your
will and word is law, and instill into
his mind that profound reverence for
law which every citizen should feel.
And if you will just keep on lying a
little to the assessor about the value of
your property in order to evade certain
tax laws, and violate the law about
riding on the platform every time you
ride on street-car, and defy the or
dinances respecting the ash-barrels and
snow on your sidewalk every time you
have an opportunity, and keep on
breaking every municipal and State
law that it isn't convenient for you to
obey, the boys reverence for the law
will grow deeper every year, until it
will be so deep that he can't reach
down TO il when he wants TO use it..
The way to teach boy obedience is to
be just as disobedient as you can be.
Just sit down now and think; try to
count up how many State laws and
municipal ordinances You violated yes
terday. Then call your children around
you and tell them if they ever disobey
you in the slightest particular you'll
break every back in the camp.-Bur-

described by Mark Twain as the corpo-

the time he was absent from his work
while he was up in the air after being
lifted by premature explosion while
preparing blast. The champion mean
woman lives in Kansas. Last winter
she was called to bury her fifth hus-
band. In order to save expense she had
the door-plate taken off and her hus-
bands age added and then placed on

Evils OF the Elevated Roads.

Riding upon the elevated roads is
said to be injurious to the eyesight.
With each passing train a quantity Of
dust and cinders is blown through the
cars when windows and doors are open,
and also a far more dangerous form of
fying particles in the form of minute
chips from the rails. The habit Of
looking out of the window, which so
many indulge in, is also deleterious.
The objects seen are so near and so
rapidly passed thai the constant change
is very trying TO the eyesight. In rid
ing upon the surface railroads the case
is different, as the objects seen are
comparatively distant, and are, there
fore, within range of vision for much
longer time. boston Post.
