WHO BEARS THE euRoeN7
Republican Argument whose Stiffness
Wa, Exposed Years Ago.

Was Exposed Years Ago.
IL used TO be the fashion among
the bcnefciarics of the high tariff to
assert that the foreign manufacturer
who sends goods TO this country pays
the duty on them for the privilege of
getting into our markets; and, although
the prcpostcrous idea has long been
repudiatcd by those advocates OF pro-
lection who hold themselves to re-
sponsibility in argument, it is still
avowcd by few brain-clouded Con-
grcssmcn who are the faithful repre-
sentativcs of Eastern interests.
Mr.. Jackson (Rep.), of Pennsylvania,
in his speech against the tariff reduc-
ton bill in the House, asserted that
last year foreigners paid millions of
tariff duties for the privilege Of getting
to our markets, and then imported and
sold us many million dollars worth of
iron, nails, glass, cotton and wooden
goods, and even wool and farm prod
ucts" And Mr.. Peters (Rep), of
Kansas, in his speech, said: 81 assert
that the tariff is not Il tax, unless the
purchaser of the protected article
pays more for it in consequence of the
duty imposed than he would il the duty
was not imposed.
That this assertion is not true; that
the idea that 1t is the foreign manu-
facturer who bears tho duty imposed
on the goods which he sends to this
= a i
ifcst from one single consideration; if
il were true, then every Government
on the earth could force the people of
other countries to pay all its revenues.
The United States would not need an
internal revenue system, nor any other
scheme of collecting money from its
own people; it would require nothing
more than a well adjusted high protec-
tive tariff that would extort all its rev.
enucs from foreign peoples-and every
other country could pay the expenses
of its Government in the same way.
1t is little strange that the statesmen
and political economists of the world
have never made this remarkable dis
'ONtiS bCiOiC u
Every body knows that the duty on
imported goods is levied for the ex-
press purpose of increasing their price
and the price of the similar articles
made in this country-and this is its
effect A 50-per-cent. duty on blan-
kets not only makes an imported En-
glish blanket worth 81 cost the Amer
lean consumer 81. 80, but it raises the
price of similar American blanket to
$l.5O, no matter how much less it may
cost to manufacture it; and every
Illinois farmer who buys such blan-
kct actually pays, first, fair price for
it, and, next, a tribute of 80 cents to
the Eastern manufacturer who made it
The tribute estimated on all pro-
tcctcd home manufacturers amounts to
5000, 900, 900 Il year-and it is this vast
sum annually poured into the manu-
featuring States that explains their
enormous wealth. - 81. LoHiS Repu6-

TEMPERANCE ITEMS.

THE Chicago Int" Dream we'll says
that &" drunkenness Is tho most active
partner of destitution," and it might
have added that it is the most active
partner Of crime. Dcstitution and
crime are its common attendants, and
for both reasons all good citizens
should set their faces like flint
against the business that supplies the
facility for dlunkenness.-N Y hide
pendent.
FRANCIS MURPHY. the great Temper
ance advocate, wants law passed
making it crime for man to treat
or be treated. Upon this subject Mr..
Murphy said: " 1t is an awful thing
for a man to say no when he has not
been wcaned. Look at the effect on a
baby that has been on the bottle for
two years when you undertake to wean
it. What think you, must it be with
man who has beer on bottle for twen-
ty ycars?'
A NEW YORK daily some time ago
reported that common thief, who had
snatched scarf-pin worth a dollar,
was railroaded' through court in q
few days and sentenced to five years in
the penitentiary, while a saloon-keeper
went free who " had been arrested
eighteen times in two years on charges
of beating, assaulting and robbing
women" But the latter. it was ex-
pressly stated, had political iniu-
ence, and boosted that he had "a pull"
on the courts which would always shield

As Seen by a Republican.

The Chicago Tribune, the leading
Republican paper of the West, says of
Harrison, the Republican nominee for
President, that he is unpopular at
home and disliked abroad; not sup
ported by any German newspaper, or
recognized by any German leader in
the United States; not numbering
among his close friends one man who
ever served with him in the Senate of
the United States; hated in California
because he voted fourteen times against
the restriction of Chinese immigration;
opposed in his own State because he is
cold and distant in his manner, and
identified with every public act which
has ever been adopted which could
wound the sensibilities of voters not
numbered among his own particular
clique in the Republican party; hav-
ing strong support among politicians,
but little among the rank and file of
the party" That appears to size up
the Republican candidate about as ae-
curately as any Democrat could hope
to do it,-S.. Louis ReP~6!ic-

REPUBLICAN DECAY.
Why the Party of Doodle, Booze and
Buncombe Nominated Harrison.

Why the Party of Doodle, Booze and
Buncombe Nominated Harrison.
The nomination Of Harrison was
made in despair by the weary, worm
out delegates who had been struggling
for a week against the plotting and
juggling of the Blaine conspirators.
1t was not the outcome of deliberate
choice; it was the only alternative of
the anti-Blainc element. While a ma
jOlity of the convention would have
nominated Blaine had it dared, there
was a compact and determined minor
ity in opposition and the more prudent
Of the Blaine leaders feared that if
their favOrite were nominated by Il
simple majority of the convention he
could not receive the united support of
the party. The Blaine mon would not
90 to sherman or Gresham, and Allison
and Alger We're not regarded as at all
available. Sherman's unyielding per-
sistency in his candidacy prevented "a
concentration upon Mckinley and the
convention was reduced to the alterna-
tive Of taking Harrison or sweltering
for days in the torrid work of finding a
dark horse" Harrison was, there
fore, Il sort of IIobsOn' 5 choice or rath-
er a choice of evils.
What strength has the Republican
nominee? the reader will ask. No
personal strength whatever. As cold
blOOded as John sherman, he is much
more aristocratic in his bearing
Without executive training, without
ability or statecraft, without personal
following, he can not fail to prove q
weak candidate. His six years serv-
ice in the United States Senate showed
him to be a man of mediocre talents
and OF slight equipment for the public
service. His name is not connected
with any important measure of legis-
latiOn. He originated nothing nor in
any way impressed his personality
upon Federal legislation. He has been
regarded by the leading men of his
own party as a political failure. He
was beaten for Governor of Indiana in
1876 in canvass in which the whole
power of the Grant Administration
was thrown in his favor. He was de-
featcd for United States Senator in In
diana last year after a disgraceful par
ticipation in partisan election of hon
estly and fairly-elected Democratic
members of the Legislature. How
can such a man lead his party to vic
tory?
1t is charged and the proofs will no
doubt be forthcoming that he was a
sworn and active member of the Know
Nothing organization. His opposition
to the legislation prohibiting the inn
migration of Chinese was presented as
an argument against his nomination by
the delegates from the Pacific slope at
Chicago. These two blemishes in his
political record viii repel thousands of
voters who might otherwise be induced
to support him. He is n defensive can
didate from the very beginning. No
aggressive campaign in his behalf is
possible. His supporters will be kept
busy explaining and apolOgizing for
his political alterations during the en-
tire canvass. One needs not to be able
to read the stars to foretell the re-elec-
ton Of Grover Cleveland in November

ABOUT MANUFACTURES.

North Carolina seems to be on a
boom in one respect at least-the build
ing of manufactures. From one end
of the State to the other this spirit is
noticeable, especially in the Piedmont
section. The Gastonia Gazette says
on the subject:
1t is gratifying to hear of SO many
factories in construction and in pros
pect Throughout the State. Manufac-
turing is the consummation the South
has been SO devoutly wishing for, and
it looks now like we are to have vast
increase in that line very soon. There
is hardly town Of any size where the
question of building ottonfactory
is not agitated. Other branches of
manufacturing are gradually develop
ing, but cotton is the raw material
we have III the greatest abundance,
and we consume the product in great
quantities, and it commands the
greatest amount of attention. Occa-
sionally some one cautions our peo
pie against engaging in an enterprise
in which they say we. cannot compete
with New England, but arguments to
this effect will have but little influence
when contradicted by such remarka-
bic success in all parts of the South.
We shall doubtless hear the buzz OF
spindles in Gastonia before Santa Claus
returns. Charlotte has one successful
factory and two Others considered GER
tain within the present year. Rock
Hill is not satisfied with one prosper
Gus factory, but demands another at
once. Kings Mountain has caught
the fever, and Dallas is unwilling to be
.outdoae, Castor county now has
light successful cotton-factorles and
nom for many more.

ABOUT MORTGAGES.

The Concord Times gives some
pertinent and timely advice on the
subject Of giving mortgages which 1t
would be we'll to read and ponder
over. 1t says:
An examination Of the Register S
books Of this county will show that
there are a great many chattel mort
cages and many mortgages covering
the farms and homes of the farmers.
A further examination Will show that,
though last year was fair average
crop year, very few Of these mortgages,
especially the real estate mortgages.
have been cancelled. A still further
examination will show that many
mortgages have been recently made.
1t will be deplorable state
of affairs for the farmers of the coun-
try to be shlna led over with mortgages.
1t will destroy the independence and
paralyze the energy of the people, It
is hard to get rid of mortgage. A
mortgage of $500 means bale of cot
ton to pay the interest. With many
making mortgage is only postponing
the evil day. 1t often happens that
the mortgager will work for several
years, and all his surplus has to go to
pay the interest. He is simply work
ing for his creditor. He gives up in
despair, and his home is advertised
for sale in proof of which look at the
newspapers all over the country and
see how many farms are advertised
for sale. Z 1t is dangerous tc
make a mortgage. If a crisis ii
money matters should come many o
the farms will be sold. Your famillc:
will be houseless and homeless. l
you are in debt you had better sell
part Of your land than cucumber it all
Don't make a mortgage if it. is posi-
bic to avoid it. Let It be the last re
sort to save honor and integrity. |
you do make it, it will cost you man,
