front, and Holly Oak, lying at and around
these two important points, is bound to

A Pair of Rascals.

IN North Milford an ambitious youth
named Elliott sold his vote at public auc-
tion in the middle of the street. David
Greenly, a Wolcott Democrat, was the
successful bidder over a Salisbury oppo-
nent and had the vote knocked down to
him at S22. 80. At the polls the Sauls-
bury man slipped ballot into Elliott
hand and the latter placed it in the box
Through a shrewd substitution Of tickets
Elliott had voted neither Wolcott nor a
Salisbury ticket, but straight Repub-
lican one. Greenly protested payment.
The grand jury of Kent will indict both
Elliott and Greenly. Milford News and

THE struggle between free trade and
protection in Sweden is alluded 60 by
Consul Drummond Hay in his report
from Stockholm It was feared, he says,
in the commencement Of last year that
the protectionists Of the Second Chamber
would succeed in placing duties on
cereals and other food stuifs, whereupon
a considerable importation Of rye took
place. This proved to be a losing specu-
1ation, as the Chamber was dissolved in
the month Of May, and fresh election
took place, resulting in a majority for
free traders. The victory of the latter
however was Of short duration. In
the month Of January Of this year the
Riksdag was dissolved, and in the general
elections that followed the protectionists
gained the day. The import duties will
now be considerably raised on all articles
of any Importance, including even ordi-
nary food stuffs and necessaries Of life.
The new customs dues viii undoubtedly
act as a serious check upon some branches
Of the foreign import trade; but il will
be a matter Of satisfaction TO exporter,
from Great Britain of rails and ma
chinery, for which there is ready mar
ket in Sweden. 10 learn that owing to the
French treaty, in force until 1892, nc
duties can be levied for the present on

The Republican Senators have given in
at last. They determined to quit and went
home on Saturday last without making any
attempt TO pass their absurd tariff bill Oh
course the bill is sham and a fraud, but
the Republican Senators might at least fol
the sake of consistency have tried to pass it
The Democrats of the House prepared O
tariff bill and passed it three months ago
The Republican Senators, rejecting that bill
gave out that they would prepare and pass
one Of their own.
They kept Congress in session three
months after it ought to have adjourned

deal of solemn secrecy and mysterious mum.

Well, they were going to pass it, they
said, to show the country how the Repub-
licans would reduce the tariff. They dilly-
dallied over it for six weeks, talked about it
once in awhile, but never made an effort to
pass it. Now they have gone home with
their fearful and wonderful bill reposing in
some dusty committee room, not ever having
been put to a vote at all.
What an inglorious failure And this is
how the Republican party revises the tariff
This is the outcome of their Summers de-

deliberations and protestations they have
done nothing.

OF WASHINGTON COUNTY.
TARIFF AND WAGES.

The Republican party in this political
contest rests its case mainly upon one propo-
sition which may be thus stated:
A protective tariff makes wages high in
this country where 1t is operative.
If the Republican party can convince
majority of the people that this is SO it will
win because great majority of the voters
are workingmen who do not want wages to
fall any lower than they are now. Hence
the insistence of the Republican speakers
and writers upon this point. 1t is vital to
them. If they should not be able to con-
vince the voters that 1t is high tariff tax
that keeps wages as high as they now are
they will be beaten, because the people will
not submit to being taxed with no cor
responding benefit.
Those who advance this proposition ought
TO be able to bring forward sufficient facts to
demonstrate its truth, but they do not do So
The only fact to which those who make this
contention ever appeal is that wages are
higher in this country, which has protec-
tive tariff. than in England, which has a
low revenue tariff
This is slender foundation upon which
to rear such monstrous system of taxation
as the Republican party maintains. One
swallow, they say, does not make summer,
nor does single isolated fact prove the
truth of every proposition. We submit that
the Republican proposition relative to the
effect of a high protective tariff to raise
wages is false. We shall prove it, not by
one fact, but by several that strengthen and
corroborate each other.
the nations of Europe England has a
very low tariff, tariff for revenue only.
France, Russia, Germany, Austria and Italy
nave protective tariiis AS high as snat which
prevails in this country and even higher.
Now, if the Republican proposition that
it is protective tariff that makes good
wages we would expect to find England
paying the lowest wages, and France, Ger
many, Russia and Austria paying higher
wages according to the relative rate of duty
imposed. We submit to all candid men
that this is putting the high tariff theory to
fair test of its wage raising power.
But we do not find such a state of affairs
OF the five nations of Europe England,
which has the least tariff, pays the highest
wages, and Russia and Germany, which
have the highest tariff, pay tho least.
Now, if high tariff raises wages and
maintains them at higher point than they
are maintained at in low tariff countries,
why does 1t so sgnally and completely fail
TO perform its alleged function in high tariff
France, high tariff Germany, Austria and
Russia. II a high tariff will raise wages,
why has it not done SO there? If high
tariff is the cause of high wages, why are
wages SO low in France, Germany, Austria
and Russia, lower great deal than in free
trade England These are questions worthy
OF consideration and the facts are four against
one. Five countries, one with very low
tariff and four with very high tariffs. We
find the highest wages paid in the one low
tariff country, lower in the four high tariff
countries, and lowest in the country having
the highest tariff of all.
