Ex-Congressman Harr-- while he
makes no specific allegation, charges
thattheMills bill is partisan measure.
Well, suppose we admit that the
average party adherent, be he demo-
crat or republican. is disposed when
acting with the majority to bear less
harshly on his friends. especially
where votes are concerned. That is
republican as well as democratic
human nature. But.twenty per cent.
reduction on sugar where the average
reduction contemplated by the bill is
but FIVE per cent, is, 1t seems to me,
cutting pretty lively into "demo-
cratic" industry. Sugar, you know,

dnstry. So far as wool.raising goes,
l do not admit anything of the kind,
because Texas. with 4.5O0. 900 sheep,
grows more than all New England.
Now York, New Jersey and Pennsyl.
vania combined. and Texas is not
very likely to give its electoral vote
to the republican nominees-thisyear.
The fact is that a large majority of
the Representatives of the wool grow.
ing states favor free wool, while New
England and Pennsylvania, with but
$3.50 900 sheep, vote nearly solid the
other way. Mr.. Horr, and those like
him whose chief stock in trade is the
bloody-shirt. are partisans first and
protectionists afterwards. He forgets.
therefore, the 'competition" and
consequent lowering Of pr ices which
he claims for protection when he
talks about democratic" sugar and
tells US that among the first provi.
sions in bin embodying his views of
tariff reform and tax.reduction would
be one taking the tariff from sugar.
This is natural coming from a man of
his political stripe living in Michi-
gan, but not logical. Now it must be
admitted that Judge Kelley, of Penn
sylvania, is quite as eminent a pro-
tectionist rs the gentleman from
Michigan. Indeed, except as come
dian of no low order of merit. the
name of William D. Kelley is more
generally known. l think. Judge
Kelley says, 1.-THE world is indebted
to the fostering care of government
for the bountiful supply Of sugar
which enables the hum blest of our
working classes to include it in the
list Of their daily necessities" = " =
= Though the duties imposed BY
our government on sugar when re-
duced to ad valorem standards were

ther claims Speech in congress. April
II, 1888) that the United States have
more square miles of fsugar-producing
territory than any four nations, and
asks shall Congress restrict the pro-
duction of sugar by reducing duties!
Judge Kelley is protectionist, first,
last and all the time. Mr.. Uorr is a
confessed, inconsistent partisan.
He's solid on the salt question, though
according to the Michigan idea.

TARIFF REDUCTION NUST
CONE.

Do not allow the human imperfec-
tions of the Mills bill to obscure the
issue, nor he misled by wilfully
false Republican construction Of it.
The President says that the question
of free-trade is irrelevant, but, if the
stiff-necked monopolists, whose
money-power makes the toiling
m asses pay tribute for their private
gain, will persist in longer contin-
uance of the mons trous tariff, it will
become full of relevancy. Nothing
could so readily precipitate free-trade
as the nnwillingness Of the '.protec.
tionists''- "self-protectIonists. Hen
ry Ward Beecher called, them
to concede even moiety of the
advantages they enjoy to their fellow
countrymen. No class of nen.in this
free land has right to clutch an-
other by the throat and extort I'M.
willing and unjust tribnte. The
danger in the situation lies in ex.
treme measures which may be re-
sorted 10 l,y an Overtaxed and deluded
people. Vested rights and business
stability will pass for but little IL the
dormant power of this same people
shall suddenly develope into an active
force intent on sweeping away every
vestige Of this discriminating tariff.
The republican managers in Mime
sOta today feel themselves between
.he devil and the deep sea in this
matter, and are keenly alive to the
steadily growing undertone OF dis
content with u system whose benefits
are all on tie side Of favored few.
How else can we account for this
perfect lnundati0n OF hired oratori-
cal talent with which our state is
threatened this fail. to preach to us

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-The commis-
sioner of navigation, Morton, in his an.
nual report places the total tonnage of our
merchant marine at 4 4,lsl,l 1885 tons, being
second only to that of Great Britain.
Our foreign.going tonnage shows de.
crease, while the coastwise is increasing.
In 1855 our foreign tonnage was about q
100000 tons, while now it is less than
one million. The commissioner believes
the decrease shows not only loss of
trade on the part of Americans but does
away with the employment of many sea-
men and vessels that would have been
engaged in furnishing supplies for ton.
mage had it been kept up proportion
ately to the growth of the country.
The commissioner states that no
doubt can exist that revival of ship
building is taking place to some extent
even in this country that freights are
improving and that there is chance fol-
the better all around. 1t is evident that
Great Britain now has the business and
also that if it were not for existing laws
as they are now construed by the naval
bureau which protects our tonnage in
domestic trade but discriminates between
the amount built in the United States
and Great Britain respectively would bt
much greater.

Cattle Business.

Col. J. Judy, the live stock auctioneer,
of Tallula, ILL.,, says: The cattle business
for the next two years will be very good.
There is no particular shortage of beef
for the market this year; but the calf
crop is very poor. The prices for the
past two years were low, and in conse
quence of the disastrous winter the pre-.
vious year many owners were short of
money and did not buy the regular num-
ber of bulls for breeding purposes and
let their cows run with the herd, fatten,
and they were then shipped. And on
account of this large shortage of cows
last year the seasons calf crop is unusu-
ally poor, and there will be shortage OF
steers for the next two or three years.
Good prices prevailed during the early
part of this season. and in the west the
grass was never in finer condition.
About the best sign know of is thai
confidence in the cattle business is nearly
restored, and next spring many eastern
capitalists will again be represented on
the prairies.

From Mrs. Meadow we Learn that the

her way to Chicago to purchase new
machinery for their ten stamp mill
which, can now turn out 50 900 worth of
metal per day when running to its
fullest capacity. A recent run of four
teen days with five stamps turned out
$4,000, which amount Mrs. Meadow
brought out with her. 1t is needless to
say that Mr.. Meadow is again on his
feet. financially speaking, and whether
he sells the mine or not he has fortune
in the ore in sight, which he will run
through the mill. His many friends
here will rejoice at his good fortune.
