Points About Marriage.

Previous to the issue of any docu-
ment permitting the solemnization
of marriage, the law should
make it necessary that both per-
sons concerned should submit them
selves for exa mination to the medical
council appointed for this purpose in
each district. Such councils might
consist of three duly qualified medical
men, and it would be their duty to give
n certificate of freedom from known
hereditary diseases to all applicants
who were either positively or even
doubtfully in sufficiently good consti-
tutional health. Marriage without
such certificate would be illegal and
the resulting offspring illegitimate.
The State might also reasonably inter-
fere to prevent the transmission OF
Objectionable moral characteristics,
though here, again, only to a very linn
tied extent. That habitual criminals
should be freely allowed to become
fathers and mothers is undoubtedly n
grave social mistake. Such persons
should be prevented from extending
their numbers by being required to SUBJ
nit either to permanent imprisonment
or to such medical operations as would
prevent further mischief Possibly the
same treatment might be advisable in
the case of confirmed habitual drunk

cheap as in England? The simple
truth is that the free-trade assertion is

In the free traders classification
wool is set down as raw material" by
which phrase is meant any natural
product used in manufacture upon
which no labor has been expended.
And yet nearly, if not quite, as much
labor must be expended in the produc-
tion of wool as in the manufacture
there-from of a piece of flannel or a
blanket. The proposition to place
wool on the free list shows how earn

Is Protection a Tax?

One of the best arguments yet pro.
dueed on the above named subject ap.
pears in that staunch journal, Frank
Leslie's Illustrated Weekly, which sup
ported Cleveland in 1884. The editor
is evidently too honest to truckle to
the falsi6cations INDUCED in by many
Democratic writers and gives his can
did, unbiased opinion on the subject.
The article is so good that we repro
duee it entire:
The condition of American manu-
facturers today shows the falsity of the
free-trade doctrine that the cost of the
productions of a country in the hands
of the consumer is increased by a pro-
tective tariff. A study of history
shows that the uniform tendency of
the protective system is to build up
vast industries and cheaper prices.
How is it, if the protective tariff is a
tax, that in England. where woolens
formerly had a high tariff, and where
the duty on iron was raised over and
over again from two dollars and fifty
cents to thirty-five dollars per ton.
voolens and irons grew cheaper all the
time? The brains and energy of the
American inventor, and the skill of
the American workman, have already
enabled as to supplant many English
products, by novelty of construction
and excellency Of work. Is it not wise
to profit by the advantages we have
thus gained, and will gain still more in
the near future, maintain the principle
OF protection, and thus command the
foreign market as well as our own?
Cottons imported at fifty cents a yard
before our mills were built, have been
exported at six cents under high tariff,
and Of better quality. The tariff on
standard cotton is no more a burden or
tax on the home consumer than that |
on wheat or beef. 1t is simply bar

they may break down competition ant
control the whole market when prices
revive. Our American sewing-silk il
better than the French or Italian, ant
in price and quality distances foreign
competition. With forty per cent
duty, which, according to the free-tradt
theory, ought to add to its cost, it ha:
gone down instead of up. 1t is greatly
improved in quality, but the price is
third less. The average decline in
value of American silk goods is not less
than twenty-five per cent, and is prob
ably over thirty per cent, in fifteen
years. During the ten protective years,
from 1870 to 1880, there was gain of
farty-three per cent.in sheep husbandry
ag, ainst gain of little over three per
cent. from 1850 to 1860; and all this
wool was bought by our own mills.
The wool-growing industry of America
would suffer serious injury by any de-
crease in our home manufacture in
woolens, and the manufacturers would
be equally injured by any decrease in
the home supply of wool. Their inter
est is one. More than four-fifths of
our woolep goods are made here, and
the sixty million consumers buy their
common working clothing as cheap as
it could be in England, and are far
better able to pay for it than the people
there.
AS to iron and steel, the average
price in New York of ship-plates, fange
iron. angle iron and rivets. all of which
ship-builders very largely use, was
twenty-five per cent. lower. from 1878
to 1880, than from 1850 to 1850, under
lower tariff: and wages were twenty
per cent. higher. If, as the London
Engineer, devoted to British manufac-
turers, says, ''as far as the American
consumer of iron is concerned he is
the better off for protection" then how
can that protection tax the consumer?
Cast steel of English make had been
sold here for twenty years, at sixteen
to eighteen cents per pound, and none
was made here. Under higher tariff,
our steel-makers began work about
1852, on large scale, at Pittsburgh
and elsewhere, and the same quality
came down to thirteen cents and fifteen
cents. In the late civil war our cast
steel was sold at thirty-two cents, while |
British steel was held at forty-five
cents, thus saving our Government |
large sums, and saving us from Deepen
dence on foreign power. Mr.. James
Park, Jr., of Pittsburgh. a gentleman
Of large experience, who has visited all
tne great steel-makers of Europe. said |
that extensive correspondence and in
luiry led him to estimate the saving to
users of cast steel in this country by the
growth of our steel making under a
protective tariff, and the consequent
reduction in price, at over twenty-thKee
million dollars, or thirty eight per cent.
