WM. X. MERRIAM.

prominent candidates were Gov. McGill
and Albert Scheffer with c. 4. Gilman a

gained steadily to the end.
Vim. X. Merriam is young man, not
yet forty years of age and has held the
position of speaker of the legislature
very acceptably. He is stirring bust

COSFLICTING APPEALS FOX
FREE-TRADE

The frcc-trade attorne-s are consistent
i'll but one thing, i. G., they invariably
credit their pet theory with all that con-
tributes to make business prosperous,
and quite as complacentl,y charge over to
protection all the drawbacks and dlsas-
tiers by which the farmer, the artisan,
the merchant and business generally may
be overtaken. Theirs is an advocacy
made up Of assertions, pcrsistently re-it-
Grated, without care for their ircOnsis-
tencv, and in utter disregard of the facts
Of history.
President Cleveland officially asserts
that the tariff compels buyers of all
domestic manufactures to pay "nearly or
quite the same enhanced price which the
duty adds to the imported articles"
| This is said in face Of the fact that steel
rli!s, with a duty of SIT per ton, and
without taking into account charges for
| transportation and commissions, have
been selling in New York within less than
$40 of the price in Engl:'nd. The
prices Of cotton and wooden ta'' les are
frequently cited by tree-traders il evil
dence of the oppressivencss ~ protective
duties. Against this, the present secre'
tary of State has published the report OF
| a Consul to England, M. L. A. Lath-
rop, ;r which it is said ''cotton-cloth and
fappcIs aye both cheaper in New York,
Washington and San Francisco than
here"
The mechanic is told that he would fare
vastly better under the British policy
than now. regardless of this uncontro-
verified comparison of average wages in
| the two cOunt ries.

he two countries:

Farmers are urged to join in the cru
SADIE against protection under promise
of enhanced prices tor the products of
their industry when to existing eompeti-
ton among themselves is added that of
the ryots of India and the serfs ofRussia
In oue sentence they are told that the
expense of transportation is of itself a
sufficient protection for the manufacturer
against foreign competition, while in the
next breath they are urged to believe
that the addition of freight charges to
farm products sold abroad will inure to
the advantage of the producers. The
author of the Mills bill in his speeches ap-
peals to farmers to demand free-trade,
and with it's advent escape in large meas
ure the payment of taxes to which they
are now subjected, On the other hand
Mr.. Henry George advocates the same
free,trade as a first step toward the sue
cess of his pet theory of centering all tax
es upon land.
No intelligent vot'r should be mislead
by any Of these conflicting pleas in behalf
of the British policy. Their inconsistent
cy betrays the weakness of the cause they
are designed to promote, just as the
unanimous desire of foreign tradesman
and manufacturers indicate selfish object
on their part. The prosperity of our coun-
try under protection is the best evidence
of the wisdom of that policy and an un-
answerable argument in behalf of its
continuance. Let these be needed.

THE democrats proposed rare and
damaging resolutions if permitted to
open the books and expose the methods
employed through quarter of GEN.
fury of Republican administration.
Well-the country very foolishly granted
the opportunity, and with what result?
Not one charge has been made of either
dishonesty or imbecility. Four years OF
democratic administration but empha-
sizes the fact that the democracy, when
it would appear advantageous, struts in
the cast-of clothing of republicans. Ten
years behind the republican party, it
takes the grounds long since vacated by
that party for a more advanced position,
and invites attention to its wisdom and
patriotism. 1t even now dares declare
that it is heartily in sympathy with the
republican idea of protection, and ieer
full of the result of an honest admission
Of flee-trade proeiiyities, pays a hand
some compliment to republican prin-
eiples by shouting me too
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1888-09-13

THE principal objection thus far or
dained by the democrats against the re.
publican nominee for governor is that he
has succeeded, by strict attention to bus
ness and the exercise of true executive
ability, in amassing a fortune. 1t is a
horrible accusation! The only disquali6-
cation for a state executive in democratic
relies is the fact that the candidatei is ad-
mirably adopted for the position. Out
upon such flimsy and insincere nonsense
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1888-09-13

HARRISON and Morton grow in favor
day by day-both in personality by
comparison with the democratic can
didates, and by the reason of the princi-
pies they represent. They stand for all
that is patriotic, wise and generous.
General Harrison has a war record
which is not only creditable but bril-
liant, and yet his civil record is not less
honorable and striking. But that COM
parison might be construed into per-
sonal abuse a marked contrast might be
drawn between the two presidential
nominees. Admitting that Mr.. Cleve-
land is true to his convictions-so much
the greater reason why he should not
be his own successor.

man county, has been nominated by the
democrats for congress in this district
Mr.. Canning's candidacy has nothing in
it at all formidable. and Mr.. Comstock
will be elected by the usual republican
majority in the .district-about 10000.
