have moved back to their Office which
was occupied by the Catholic fair the
last two weeks.
THE Catholic fair closed last evening
by grand ball given at the Opera
House. The interchangeable workers
have succeeded in raising something
like $4,000 toward building a new
church, by their efforts and able sup

A HEAVY fog enveloped the city and
surrounding country Friday morning

Old Sol proceeded to dispatch the

as they are being placed on eXhibi

this city, and what has been shown
on the streets in new fashions, has
been an invaluable assistant to me
in selecting our stock this season.

you which | have been thinking Of
for some time. Since ! have had
my present position with the con
Germ here, | have had an opportunity
of observing what an immense bust
ness the motto, "small profits and
large sales" can work up, the enor-
nous business our house is doing, is
explained in tie small margins we
place on everything we put out.
Now, this idea occurred to me-: why
can't we do the same thing on a
smaller scale, but on the same prin-
ciple, in Alma and make the Bee
Hive Store" a by-word and motto
for the closest prices and best quail
ties in that section of the country.
Say, we cut down all prices on goods
to the very lowest possible point.
Sell all >%heetings, prints, ginghams
and other domestics at cost, making
the trdae discount / get om' proft on
those goods; in other words, retail
goods at 'choles0le prices. In this
way w could work up a very large
trade AMI give our customers the
benefit. | would much rather sell
100000 worth of goods at y to 10
per cen than 100000 worth at 20 to
30 per cent; there is more money in
IT. Our trade discount and cash
discount would alone amount to
nearly the latter profit don't you
think this is the correct idea? Let
me know your views, if you think
favorable of this scheme. | a
send you up a good line of staple
goods to lead on. You could adver-
tise to this effect about April LIST a2d

other matters in a day or two.

quently called trusts, which have
for their object the regulation of
the supply and price of the COM
modities made and sold by men,
bers of the combination. The peo-
pie can hardly hope for any con-
sideration in the operation of these
selfish schemes"
Republican Commander in Chief
Blaine in his Portland speech said:
"When President Cleveland deliv-
cred his message he had something
to say about the danger of trusts.
/ think there have since been no
Democratic papers in the country,
whether they understood the mean
ing Of the word or not, that have
not been constantly warning the
people as to the horrible danger of
trusts. Well, / shall not discuss
trusts this afternoon. I shall not
venture to say they are altogether
advantageous or disadvantageous.
They are largely private affairs,
with which neither President
Cleveland nor any private citizen
has any particular right to inter-
fere."
In his speech at Dover, Command
er in Chief Blaine said: "Trusts
have no place in a national cam
paign. If there be evils connect
ed with these trusts the states must
regulate them,
In his letter of acceptance Presi-
dent Cleveland says: "Trusts have
lost none of their hateful features
because they have assumed the
name of trusts instead of conspira-
cies. With an unalterable hatred
of all such schemes we count the
checking oftheir baleful operations
among the good results promised
by revenue reform"

The Same Old Lie.

Republican papers and stumpers
are very generally repeating the
old lie, that the effect of Protec-
tion is to cheaper the goods pro-
duced i'm the protected industries.
The assertion Is becoming 80 hoary
that 1t requires some further eluci-
dation. Now gentlemen stand up
and answer:
/. If protection lowers the price
of the goods how is the manufacture
er protected thereby?
2. If the Tariff has reduced the
price of goods far below the low
tariff rate of former years, how
high would we have to raise the
tariff in order to break up the
manufacturers?
8. How is it possible for the tariff
to raise the price of labor, as claim
ed by you, and at the same time
lower the price of the commodity ?
A. Is not the whole assertion

gate accomplish exactly double
the result of the same number of
British mechanics. They are
therefor very justly paid double
in wages"
Could more unimpeachable evil
dence be submitted in support of
the fact that the American me-
chanic is only "protected" in so far
as he protects himself by harder
work and by accomplishing greater
results through his labor? If he
does double the work of the British
mechanic, is he not justly entitled
to double the pay all tariff consid-
erations aside? And if he receives
only double the pay (Which he does
not), is not the tax which he pays
on his clothing, salt and other ne
cessities of life unjustly taken
from him for the enrichment of
some one eIse-which in this as
we'll as in every other case, where
"protection" comes in, is for the
sole benefit of the manufacturing
monopolist?
The muscle, skill, industry and
intelligence of the American me-
chanic is the only protection he
has against the pauper labor OF
any nation. All other protection
however ostensibly it is laid for
his benefit, only robs him of some
return of his labor and skill for the
benefit of those who utilize his
services. This is why his condi
ton grows worse and worse each
year when considered in relation
to the progress of the age, and why
monopolists thrive and million
aires increase.

British and American Labor.

In 1882 the New York Industrial
League, the larg est protectionist
organization outside of Pennsyl-
vania, employed Mr.. Oh as S. Hill,
of the State Department. to pre-
pare statistics and an address to
the Tariff Commission. Mr.. Hill
compiled his report and furnished
it to the Tariff Com mission, and it
forms a part Of the proceedings OF
that body. The following extract
appears on page 1858 of the pro-
ceedlngs of the Commission:

The Way Protection Protects.

The claim of the protectionist
that the high rates of tariff is in
tended for the protection of Amer
ican labor is well illustrated by the
working of the system in those in
dustries that receive the greatest
bonus from the tariff. One of the
high protected industries, and
among the first to respond to the
abnormal stimulus given to it by
excessive duties, was the glass in
dustry, but no sooner did it respond
than the American workmen were
discharged and their places filled
with aliens from Bohemia, and for
no other reason than that they
could be obtained at less wage
than American workmen. Again
the Coal operators are protected on
bituminous coal at the rate of 7t
cents per ton, but we find the mines
of Pennsylvania and elsewhere fill.
ed with alien Poles and Hungar.
ians, and the average price of min.
ing has, for years, been kept below
the rate of protection granted.
Another example is the Oliver
Chilled Plow works at South Beno
Ind. This industry is protected al
an average rate of more than 45%
while the labor cost of production
is less than 5596, and of the more
than twelve hundred workmen en-
ployed, not exceeding fifty are
Americans, while Poles, Hungar
ians and swedes make up the rest
The foregoing industries serve as
examples of all the protected in
dustries. Wherever we find pro
lection highest, we find the great
est per cent. of the Pauper labor O.
Europe, imported for the express
purpose of lowering wages ant
grinding the face of the American

A Tariff Cate chism.
Some Potent Points for the People on
Protection.

Mr.. Blaine says the present gen.
GRAFTON must be taught the benefits
of high protection. An excellent
idea.
If a young man buys suit of
clothes FOR $23, the amount of pro-
lection he pays on it is SO. The
clothes without protection would
cost $14.
If he buys a 81 hat he gets 40 cts.
worth of hat and 60 cts. worth OF
protection.
If a young couple just beginning
house keeping buy yard of Brus-
sells carpet for 81 they receive As
cents in carpet and 90 cents in pro-
tection-or, say, for whole room,
$3.50 worth of carpet and $16.5O
of protection. With free wool$16.5O
would be saved.
If the young woman pay so for a
shawl she gets$ Sc worth of shawl
only; the other 80 she presents to
the manufactures to "protect" him.
If she buy dress for $lS she
gets $12 worth of dress and Sc
worth of protection.
If she pay so cents for an iron pot
or pan she gets 80 cents in goods
and 20 cent worth of protection.
If she buy a dozen glass tumblers
for 81 she receives in glass 55 cts.
ard 45 cts. in tariff.
If the farmer purchase a barrel
of salt for 81 he gets 64 cents in
salt and and pays 36 cents in pro-
lection to companies in Syracuse,
Warsaw and Saginaw.
