SOME TARIFF FACTS.

An cid machinist of Pittsburg, in response
to n request from representative of the
american People, periodical published in
that city, for some recollectiOns Of low tar
id times, said:
remember when the Polk and Dallas
tariff of 1916 shut down the mills in Pitts
burg and all the blast furnaces in Pennsyl-
vania. That was when Dallas cast the
deciding vete in the United States Senate
that for a time killed the industries of this
country. fused TO be on the old Pennsyl-
vania canal some in those days, and | mind
two furnaces built on the CoRemaugh-one
At Lockport, Westmoreland county, and an :
ether near Jamestown. This Polk and Dallas
tariff knocked out all the furnaces. The one
at Lockport had been built by man named
McGill, who was well known along the canal.
He was swept out of business, and took things
so hard that he died sson after. That's what
tariff reform did for Pennsylvania. Have
you ever seen the ruins of any Of those old
blast furnaces up through Clasion county?
Well, the tanff Of 1916 closed them down,
and they were never lighted up again.

THE San jesse Times flies the names Of

Presidential ticket. Stewart is cur man by
long odds, and it is pity that the Repub
licaas IN convention at Winnemucca did not
instruct the delegates to the National Con
vsntion for, Stewart. 1t is not likely that he
can secure the nomination this year, but
four years from now, if he continues in his
good work. he will be as much thought of
in the Eastern and Western States as he is
new by the people of the Pacific Coast; and
then lock out for him for President. Men
Of all parties admire Stewart, and In our
opinion he would make the best President the
United States has had since Lincoln's time.

An Emn;re Reclaimed.

To THE EDIToR-Sir: How many acres of
land, previously held by corporations aud in
dividusls have been forfeited to the United
States during President CLEvELAND's admins
tration? How and why! a DEMOCRAT.
Franklin, Ind. Aug. 81.
Between 1861 and 1872 congress granted
10 private corporations and TO individuals
U.s., 643, 944. SO acres of the public domain
, almost equal to the combined area of the
thirteen original states.
For years this wholesale despoilment of
the peoples heritage was openly and sys-
tematically practiced, and the commits
sioner of the general land Office, in his
annual report of 1885, states that at that
date four-ffths of our public lands had
been disposed OF, and the remaining one
fifth, only a moiety, was fit for human
habitation.
But when GROVER CLEVELAND became
president in 1885 halt was called on the
land grabbers. 1t was resolved that Gland
grabbing in all its forms should cease I;
that the Gland shark should disgorge his
plumber; that all fraudulent acquisitions
of our public lands should stop; that the
laws governing the disposition of our pub
lie lands should be rigidly and vigorously
enforced, and that all claims to our re-
naming lands, whether by powerful syn
dicates or by individuals, should be
laboriously scrutinized in the light of the
law and the facts, and only allowed where
clearly established.
This program has been faithfully carried
out and a statement recently issued from
the general land Office makes the follow
ing exhibit covering the period Of Mr..
CLEvELASD's administration
Lands reclaimed and actually restored TO
the public domain, $1,000, 720.59 acres; re-
covery of lands recommended, $685., 21s-
80 acres; forfeited wagon road grants

THE SENTINEL, printed Saturday But
these tactics will not succeed. Four years
ago the veteran soldiers of Indiana were
told by the republicans that if CLEVELAND
was elected their pensions would be cut
off; the rebel soldiers would take their
places on the pension rolls, and much
more OF the same Sort They have seen
all these predictions come to naught; they
have seen the pension rolls steadily and
rapidly growing; hundreds of them who
were denied their rights under republican
administrations have been placed on the
rolls by Gen. BLACK, and to-day a great
deal more money is being paid to pen
sioners in Indiana than ever before. Col.
MATsoN, as chairman of the committee on
invalid pensions, has devoted himself to
the interests of his old comrades with un-
tagging zeal and tireless industry, and in
recognition of his services will receive the
vote OF every democratic soldier in In
diana, and of many who have heretofore
voted the republican ticket.
HovEY, who has been posing as the
Soldiers friend" in congress, has done
literally nothing to earn the title He
has introduced few bills for sheer bun
combe, which, if they were to become
laws, would involve an outlay of several
times as much as the national debt now
amounts to. HovEY never intended or
expected them to be passed, and he only
offered them with view to making lit
tie cheap political capital out of them.
HovEY is a bloviating humbug, and
when the people of Indiana get chance
to take his measure they will conclude
that they have no use for him as governor
or in any other capacity.

The Tax on Lumber.

An Erie wood-worker gives the Erie
Herald the following reasons why the Erie
wood-worllers want lumber placed on the
free list, as provided by the Mills bill:
/. If lumber is free, they can build homes at
less cost than they can now build homes.
2. III lumber is free, more buildings will be
erected, increasing the work of wood-workers.
s. If lumber is free, the foreign laborer
would have a smaller chance for work here
than he now has, for home bosses could then
get lumber as cheaply as foreign bosses can.
It was for these and other good reasons
that Mr.. BLAINE, when speaker of the
house, and Presidents GRANT, GARFIELD
and ARTHUR favored the removal of the
tax from lumber. Every cabinet-worker,
every carpenter, every man who works in
wood, every farmer everybody who wants
to build home and furnish house for
himself-in fact, every citizen of the en-
tire republic, except the few millionaires
who have obtained control OF the great
forests otthe northern tier, would be bene-
fited by a repeal of the lumber tax.
And yet the republican platform de-
clares, in effect, that rather than reduce
this tax bya single penny the tax on
whisky and tobacco should be repealed.

An Able and Vigorous Speech.

Senator MCDoNALD'S speech before the
Hendricks club last week was a calm,
dignifed, forcible and statesman-like dis
cussion of the issues of the campaign.
There was not touch of humbuggery,
not trace of demagogism, not particle
of sophistry or special pleading in it. 1t
was nota "hurrah boy" speech, but g sober
appeal to the intelligence, conscience and
enlightened self-interest of the people of
Indiana. Senator MCDONALD discussed
the tariff in its practical aspects; showed
the necessity and urgency of reduction ;
analysed the Mills bill and demonstrated
wherein its enactment into law would
stimulate American industries, relieve
workingmen of part of the heavy bur-
dens that now rest upon them, and bene-
fit all the people. Especially pertinent was
the senator's exposition of the benefits
which it would confer upon the
natural gas district of the state by cheap
ening the cost of manufacturing plants,
which, experimenting the advantage OF
cheap fuel, would enable the manufac-
turers of this section to enter the race
with their long-established compel
itors in the older manufacturing
states upon more than even terms. He
showed that the Mills bill is wise, mod
crate, conservative, judicious and thor
oughly national measure; that the charge
of sectionalism urged against it is utterly
without foundation; and that its passage
could not fail to promote the welfare and
prosperity of the whole country.
Mr.. MCDONALD stated with brevity and
clearness the position which the presi-
dent occupies on the fisheries question;
arraigned the senate for the narrow and
vicious partisanship with which it had
treated the subject, and made it plain
that the course which the president is
pursuing is wise, patriotic and statesman
like.
1t is a speech to be carefully read-to
be studied. Compare it with the Trades
which such men as BLAINE, MCKINLEY
and FORAKER are delivering upon the
tariff question, made up of wild assump-
TONS reckless perversions of contempt
raneous facts and the truth of history,
bald sophistries and demagogical appeals
to ignorance and prejudice, and you will
see the difference between a statesman
and cheap politician-between the cam
paign of intelligence, which the demo-
cratic party is conducting, and the cam
paign of humbug and false pretenses by
which the party of monopoly and tree
whisky is attempting to mislead the
American people.

a lowering of wages; that those who are
trying to do some of the things which
both the great parties in Indiana have
been demanding for twenty years are
foes to American industry, ETC.. etc.
We don't see how any Indiana repub-
hcan can read the record so siillfully pre-
sented by Judge JORDAN without blush
ing for himself. his party and and his
candidate. We don't see how BEN HAIR
RIsoN can read it without sensations OF
profound modification and disgust. We
don't see how any intelligent man, what
ever his political affiliations, can read it
withouta new appreciation of the indig-
nifty and humiliation to which the monop-
olists who managed the convention at
Chicago subjected Ben HARRISON and the
republicans of Indiana when they adopted
a platform declaring for free whisky and
tobacco and higher taxes on the neces-
saries of life.

Tarifrs and Wages Abroad.

To THE EDrToR-Sr: VIII you be kind
enough, through The SENTINEL TO name the
four highest protected countries China ex-
cepted) OF the world, in their order, and state
the wages OF each. &c.
Lebanon, Ind, Aug. SO.
These are very indefinite questions and
very difficult to answer. A tariff is
usually complicated thing, and when
the units OF value and the standards OF
measurement are different from our own,
and some Of the duties are specific, some
ad valorem, and some compound, it is very
difficult to say whether the schedule of a
certain foreign country is higher or lower
than that OF a certain other country or
not. Thus in one country the duties NAV
be very high upon articles which are but
little used, while they are low upon those
which are largely consumed. In another
country none OF the duties may be as
high as many of them in the first country,
yet the general average may be higher.
Russia unquestionably has the highest
tariff in Europe, as the duties average
| from 100 to 200 per cent. ad valorem.
Italy, Austria-Hungary and Mexico have
come next to Russia, perhaps in the order
named, although some of the South
American and Asiatic nations levy very
! high duties on imports
To "state the wages Of each" as re-
! quested, would be impossible In the
first place We do not know what the
writer means by "the wages of each"
! Does he mean the wages in manufacture
ing industries or in all departments of
! labor? Most OF the countries named do
not gather statistics on the subject, and
about the only information on this point
accessible is in the scattered reports Of q.
/ S. consuls. A report issued by the de-
partment of state when Mr.. BLAINE was
secretary, compiled from consular reports.
showed that the condition OF labor in all
the high tariff countries of Europe, and
in Mexico as well, was wretched in the
extreme. The present U. S. minister to
Russia, who is now in this country, stated
| in New York the other day that the wages
| of laborers and artisans in that country
ranged from % to 80 cents a day-the
latter being the maximum. He has in
vestigated the subject very closely, and
! knows whereof he speaks.

A DespicabIe Performance.

Judge THURMAN, in his Port Huron
speech, quoted JOHN QUINCY ADAMS on
the tariff question. The quotation was
by Mr.. ADAMS in 1882. In this report Mr..
ADAMS combated the absurd proposition
that a tariff does not increase the price of
the protected" domestic article. Judge
THURMAN cited his authority upon this
point as that Of one who was called pro-
tectionist (now the republicans would call
him ''free trader''), and took pains to
use his exact words, and such only as con-
veyed his precise meaning.
The Journal, however, charged Judge
THURMAN with "garbling" and "misrepre-
senting' Mr.. ADAMS, and printed certain
paragraphs, sentences and parts of sem
fences from Mr.. ADAMS report in support
of this charge.
THE SENTINEL examined the report in
question and found that the Journal had
picked out of it Mr.. ADAMS statements
Of the propositions he was antagonizing,
and presented them as expressions of his
own views, even going so far in one in
stance as TO cut a sentence in two in
order to present Mr.. ADAMS in the light
Of saying that which he did not say, and
OF believing that which he did not believe,
and which the context shows he did
not believe, because that report was
largely devoted to its refutation.
The SENTINEL thereupon printed all
that portion of Mr.. ADAMS report which
embraced the subject-matter in contro-
versy. This publication showed that
Judge THURMAN had quoted Mr.. ADAMS
correctly; that he had used his exact
words, and that they were in harmony
with the entire context and defined Mr..
ADAMS position accurately. Wechallenged
the Journal TO reprint the report, as we
had done. This was last Thursday. The
Journal has not yet accepted the challenge.
On Friday morning we said:
The Journal will not do this lprint the re-
port; twill not retract its chPrge against
Judge THURMAN; 1t will not correct its mis-
statements of JOHN QUINCY ADAMS report;
IL will not even complete the sentence in that
document of which il printed one-half, to show
that Mr.. ADAMS believed what the whole SEN
tence shows he did not believe. The Journal
win do none of these things. 1t will either re-
lapse into dead silence or il will repeat its
charges against THURMAN, or perhaps it will
say, as IL did yesterday, that mo democratic
paper has attempted defense OF him."
The Journal, as we more than half ex-
pected it would has "relapsed into dead
silence" II has neither repeated its
charge against Judge THURMAN, nor re-
tracted it, nor attempted to substantiate it.
1t declines to print Mr.. ADAMS report that
SIS readers may see for themselves whether
Judge THURMAN misrepresented him or
not. In a word, it is dumb.
We have only 10 say that more dis
honest, cohtemptible, indecent and thor

A RIoviatinr Hnmbug.

An interview with Gen. HovEY at Gin
cinnati, printed in the Journal, reveals
him in the light of very cheap and COM
mon demagogue, not above traducing his
opponent, Col. MATsoN, or stirring up
old prejudices and passions that no patriot
would want to revive, in the hope that he
may gain something out of it in this cam
paign. HovEY says the 'old soldiers"
will settle the business in Indiana, and
that great majority of them will vote the
republican ticket. How does he know ?
Col. MATsoN, who heads the democratic
ticket, was a brave and gallant soldier,
and has proved himself in congress the
true friend of the veterans. Capt. MYERS,
CHARLIE MuNsoN and Bob" MIXERS were
all fighting-soldiers in the Union army,
and they will get their full share of the
votes OF their old comrades in arms. The
republican "plan OF campaign" in Indiana
is to lie to the old soldiers. after the man
