A TALE WITH A MORAL

Smith Proposed to Guard His Corn rs
We Should American Industries.
John Smith had board fence around
his corn field to keep out his neighbor
Browns COWS. Mr.. Brown didn't like
this fence at all His pastures were lean
and dry, and he thought it would be q
fine thing IL his cows could get into Mr..
Smiths field. Accordingly he set to
work with Mr.. Smiths hired man and
persuaded him by arguments and brides
to pull down part of the fence.
One day when Mr.. Smith was looking
over his farm he found the man at work
removing some of the boards from the
fence. HE .Fa trH EE@E
What arc you doing there!' demanded
Mr.. Smith. S3
I'm reforming the fence, sorr-there's
u dale too much of it for the good of the
corn"
But you'll let in Browns cows. and
they'll trample down the whole field"
urged Mr.. Smith.
"Bedad, It won't be so bad as that,
sorr. I'm only taking down Is or 20 per
cent. of the fence. There's enough of it
left to protect the corn, sorr. Tim only re-
juicing the average Of the fence. Sure,
it's there still. -.
1t is enough to say that Mr.. Smith
didn't see the point. and ordered the fence
and its protection stored.-Springfield

Protection and the Trusts.

"They arc forming lumber trust;
therefore abolish the tariff on lumber"
shrieks Mills bill advocate. Well, why
not abolish the tariff OH kerosene oil and
coffee and thus kill off the oil and coffee
trusts? "But there isn't any tariff on oil
or coffee, some free trader remarks. How
does it happen, then. that these products
are controlled by trusts! We thought 1t
was the tariff that caused the trusts, or
made them possible. There will be trusts.
1t appears. whether there is any tariff OF
not. The whole salt product Of Europe is
controlled by trust. The formation of
lumber trust does not depend upon the
tariff. Unless trusts are prohibited,
there IL likely to be lumber trust
whether there is any tariff or not. Abol.
ishing the tariff would create the strong
est possible incentive for trust.-Cleve-
land Leader. .-t.

WAGES AND THE TARIFF.

An Increase Of from 60 90 200 Per Cent.
Drought About by Protection.
In showing the workingmnn the bene.
ncisl results Of tho protective system to
wage carriers Tho New York Mail and
Express says:tC t
Let us take o bricklayer, for example.

ings In Germany would be &42l. The
average weekly earnings OF German black
.smiths are g.; Of New York blacksmiths,
from $40 to $14 " - y !
The average rate of duty charged by
our present tariff law Is Al per cent. But
the cost Of living In this country is not
increased by the duty on imported articles.
In the first place. our workingmen are not
consumers Of many imported articles. and
IN the second place the cost of domestic
product Ii not increased by the amount
OF duty, collected on the imported article.
Let US take piece of cotton cloth, for
example. Suppose Nthe duty on the for.
eign cloth is 40 per cent. and that tho
price is twelve cents per yard. With
tho duty added. the, price In New York
OF the Imported cloth would be about
seventeen or eighteen cents. II there was
not one cotton mill in the country the do
nestle cloth might sell, for the full seven.
teen or eighteen cents yard; but there
is domestic competition. There are a good
many cotton mills in the country, SO that
the price is lowered by healthful compe-
tition. The tariff simply keeps out goods
that are made by foreigners who get very
small wages and free importation of
whose cloth would break down our mills.
This Is an Illustration of the effects of
the tariff. The domestic cotton cloth we
have spoken of would not be sold for more
than fourteen or fifteen cents.
II 20per cent. were added to the price
OF goods bought by the workingmen, as a
consequence of the tariff law, it would be
a liberal. too liberal, estimate But what
would 1t show? The difference between
the wages paid to German and American
bricklayers is $7.70 q week, so that the
American receives nearly 200 per cent.
more than the German, while he receives
nearly 90 per cent. more than the English
brici1layer. We take this trade simply
because It is the first to come to hand. II
does not differ from others. The Ameri.
can mechanic receives from GO to 200 per
cent. more for his work than the Euro
pean workinginan, and he may pay 20 per
cent. more for what he wears. AS mat
ter of fact, he pays much less than that.

PROJECTION AND EXPORTS.


Wise Tarf1 Increases External TmAs
and Stimulates Production.
One Of Mr.. Mills fancied strong points
In favor OF his free trade measure was
that free imports promote exports. or to
state the case conversely. that protection
hindered exports. II has many times
been conclusively shown that the exports
OF the United States have increased In o
greater ratio, than those Of any other
country, and also that since 1879, when
Germany adopted the protection system,
that the exports Of that nation increased
so enormously as to extort q jealous cry
from the English press. forcing it to ad-
NIT that il was within the bounds Of
probability that in the near future the ex-
ternal commerce of the German empire
would exceed that Of Great Britain. Now
we are told by The Gazette Russo that
the export trade Of Russia Is increasing
immensely. Hero is it's language:
However strange it may appear In the
midst Of all complaints about the depres-
sion of Russian trade. It Is, nevertheless,
fact that in 1887 Russia exported more
goods to foreign countries than ever be-
fore during her history. The amount of
42,627,O 600 tchetverts Of cereals nearly
equals the abnormal figures Of AZ, 800, 900
tVAotfcrtS ioT 1910, WHICH was bu0 result
OF blockade for two years. More linen,
more linseed and hempseed. and more
timber has been exported in 1887 than
ever before. The expectation Of petro-
leum has made great advances, increasing
every year. II has risen now to the figure
of 10000, 600 pounds. The Russian pc
troleum has succeeded at last in conquer
ing the European markets"

In England, under free trade. the reverse
condition is noted. English agriculture,
which few years ago was one Of the
great sources Of the prosperity of that
country, has been ruined, and the produc-

Reckless Prodigality.

The Surplus Reduced to s1e, 200, 900 by
Reckless Productivity.
The government income for the cur
rent fiscal year, beginning July /, Is esti-
mated at $3.50, 900, 900, or $220, 100000
tariff, $3.50, zoo, 900 internal revenue and
the rest miscellaneous. This ought to
leave surplus of $3.50, 100000. The sur
plus, less sinking fund, will not be
tenth of this.
The house has primary charge, under
the Constitution, both Of revenue and ex-
penditure. The senate has not. The
house has good party majority of twelve
to sixteen. The senate has bare party
majority Of but two. e
The Democratic party has always talked
economy and practiced extravaganza. The
Republican party In the days Of Its most
complete control never approached the
reckless expenditure of the present
house. It's Democratic majority has found
short way to deal with the surplus. 1t
has spent it. r

making are 1887, 000. 000;s the permanent
appropriations for interest, etc., are $685..

sham but required by law, is SAT, 000,-
600; total. $371, 10000 Take this from
the receipts and there is $4,000, 900 left.
This Is the beggarly total to which the
surplus is cut down by Democratic ex-
travagance. Abolish the sinking fund
and It would stand ut $e9, 1000. 900, two
thirds the expected total. 49,

A resolution two lines long cutting off
the tobacco taxes would dispose of half
the surplus at it's biggest figure; but the

TAO Admission of Dakota.
The assessors have just completed their
work In Dakota and the returns furnish
another strong argument in favor Of the
admission of that territory into the Union
| as q state. The estimated amount Of
property is $161. 400, 974.32. The number
| Of acres of land assessed is 90, 832, $40, the
valuation of which Is SOL 1875, 729. The
valuation Of town and city property
is $20, 1875, 555, and that of horses,
cattle and sheep about sci ,000,-
600. The increase in the number
| of churches, schoolhouses and newspa-
pers has kept even pace with this growth
In material wealth. And yet according
to Democratic theory the COO, 900 intcili-
gent inhabitants Of Dakota, whose in
dustry and forethought have created this
wealth. are not fitted to exercise tho
rights of American citizens. The cleo

count Of the lateuess of the arrival Of
many of the stockholders, the meeting
was compelled to adjourn without having
doue much. President Seeley presided
over the meeting, and base ball matters
generally were talked over. The majority
Of those present were in favor Of q club
next year, and enough money was pledged
to pay the assessments due the TTi-State
Lssgue, as the bonds Of the clubs that
dropped before the season closed have
proved TO be no good, and they beat the
League out Of money. 1t should be seen
to next year that every club puts up Q ne
sponsible bond, and no straw affairs, rs
many did the past season.
I Ut has befn before stated in the REGISTER
that several prominent base bsll men want
