Spoiled Ammunition.
The Madison Democrat

Not long ago Mr.. Mckinley, who is
Mr.. Kelly's assistant high priest of
protection, charged on the floor of the
house of representatives, that the sec
Rotary of war was buying foreign
blankets for the army, and in that
way discriminating against home
manufacturers. He charged that the
administration was English and I'M
American. Thereupon all the protec-
ton organs took up the story and
went for Endicott. The republican
campaign orators are telling, with a
voice tremulous with indignation, that
democratic administration prefers
English manufactures to those of
America.
But this story has got spoiled. In
quiry develops the fact that the ad-
miniStration of Garfield and Arthur
bought the army blankets of English
manufacturers. They did 50 for the
very good reason that the law, under
which the purchase was authorized, re-
Quired the secretary of war to accept
the lowest bid. The Englishmen of
fered the best blanket for the least
money, and the law passed by re-
publican congress left the secretary nc
alternative but buy the English blank
cts. The tests showed the English
blankets were all wool. the American
samples We're part cotton. The Brit
ish manufacturers having free wool
could make these blankets, pay duties
and underbid our manufacturers wher
the latter We're mixing cotton ant
/ shoddy with their blankets. Foreign
firms have been supplying a large par
of our army blankets for several year:
prior to the advent of a democratic
administration. So fine outfit o.
campaign ammunition is spoiled.

Under our absurd navigation laws,
which constitute a very important
part OF our falsely 50 called system
of protection, the " City of New York. ="
the fine new ship in which James G.
Blaine, the great expounder of the
gospel of high taxation, recently cross
ed the Atlantic, was compelled to fly
the British flag, and in the event Of
war must be surrendered to the Brit
ish government: notwithstanding the
fact that she was mainly built with
American money and is the direct re-
suit of American enterprise. This
fact is especially significant because
Mr.. Blaine took prominent part in
framing and passing the restrictive
laws which have almost driven Amer
lean shipping from the high seas. By
the decline in shipping America has
annually suffered tremendous loss
and besides our national self respect
should revolt At the degrading position
which the United States now occupies
in regard to the carrying trade of the
world. The protectionists, who would
keep the country in that position con
stitute the only true British party il
American politics.

Under our present laws more than
four thousand articles are subject to
duty. Many of these do not in any
way compete with our own manufac-
lures, and many are hardly worth at
tention as subjects of revenue. \
considerable reduction can be made in
the aggregate by adding them to the
free list. The taxation of luxuries
presents no features of hardship, but
the neceSSaries of life used and con-
sumed by all the people, the duty upon
which adds to the cost of living in
every home, should be greatly cheap

Pointers on the Tariff Question.
President Cleveland.
1t is a condition which cOnfrOnts us
not theory.
Roger Q. Mills.

PRESIDENT CleVelanu.
1t is condition which confronts us
not a theory.
Roger Q. Mills.
Protection, such as we have now,
benefits the capitalist who, by means
of protection, has a monopoly Of the
manufacture of some article. The
policy of the new tariff is to build up
our manufactures, not to destroy them;
to remove all impedimentS and give
them facility to grow. Remember the
more consumers the more work. The
more work the higher the wages.
John G. Carlisle.
The Democratic party does not ad
vocate free trade, but it believes that
the interests Of all our manufacturing
and other industries would be ad-
vanced, that the wages of all our la
borers would be increased, and the
general welfare of the whole country
would be greatly promoted by repeal
ing, as far as possible, the taxes upon
raw materials, and reducing or repeal
ing the taxes upon the actual neces-
saries of life; and upon these simple
propositions it proposes to stand or
fall in the great contest now before it.
Harper's Weekly.
No intelligent citizen seriously APP
prehends that the election of Mr..
Cleveland would result in closing the
custom houses. There will be no free
trade until the American people prefer
to pay the cost of the government by
direct rarher than by indirect taxation.
The arguments for the Cleveland
policy are valid not because they are
free trade arguments, but because they
urge just and reasonable and effec-
tive method of reducing the surplus,
and that there is popular demand for
such reduction, is shown by the re-
publican efforts to devise another
method than the Presidents.

keepers. The young ladies they recon.
mended were first instructed to rob their
employers and hand over the proceeds Of
their thefts to the agents. The latter
made their regular rounds every day. On
entering store the agent would make =
small purchase for which she would pre-
tend to pay with large note. The
fictitious difference, consisting Of money
stolen, was then openly placed on the
counter and pock eted by the agent. The
latter retained 80 cents or 81 Of every
days takings of each girl and paid the re-
mainder to the latter. The whole gang Is
now in custody. The occurrence may
lead to the general introd uction Of our
system Of q cashiers desk in every store

Of some Of the store.keepers are estimated
At 5000 to $1,000.
