SOME HARD FACTS.

What the Tariff Does for Prices and wageA
Democrats, from Thurman down, are
still repeating their dismal yarn about
the duty being added to the cost of arti-
cles upon which there is tariff. The
facts are that local competition often
cuts down the price of goods in this
country to the European figures, but at
the same time wages are kept up. The
representative of a large and wsll known
rubber manufactOry states that the svpr-
age weekly wnges paid by theft concern
In 1850 was $3.50, and in 1887 M1.4J, an
Increase Of over 100 per cent. and that
the same goods that brought them net in
1850 70 2-10 cents, in 1887 brought but
42 838-1000 cents; or, in other Words, that
they received In 1850 substantially "a
per cont. more for their product. than In
1887, which shows. that while The tariff
has protected the labor Of the working
man and increased his wages more than
100 per cent, competition hss brought
down the prices Of the goods a. above
stated. A,l
He also said that considerable por.
tion Of the village in which their factory
was located is owned by the workingmen
and women in their employ, the high
wages that they have received enabling
them, in large number Of instances to
purchase homes for themselves; and
further that while the result Of the bust.
ness showed fair returns ON the nominal
capital stock Of the company, II all the
money which they employed in their
business had been put out at on annual
interest at the moderate rate Of per
cent, the result would have been q
greater gain than they showed, making
1t evident that the interests of the labor.
ers are carefully considered rather than
the accumulation Of the largest possible
gains.

THE FREE TRADE TWADDLE.

In the face of the news from Oregon
the Democrats at ST. Louis weakened on
their free trade doctrine. They will
weaken more before the canvass is over.
The truth is about one-half of the people
of these United States, outside of the
politicians, believe that we haven't got
more than half enough protection as it
is. If the tariff was doubled there
would be less surplus and higher wages.
There are no small per cent of people
who believe in prohibitory tariff, a tar
if which would double all wages and
double all prices. leaving all foreign
countries to find markets for their over
productions some place else besides the
United States. A prohibitory pro-
lection would effectually stop the volume
of money flowing from our custom
houses into our national treasury and
make home market at a high price for
everything produced or manufactured or
labored for in America.

A BIT OF HISTORY.

Leavenworth Times.
One hears it remarked every day that
las Cleveland is in he has the advantage
and will be reelected by reason of it.
Those who give such opinions are
either ignorant of the political history of
the country or they have forgotten it.
In 1886 Martin Van Buren, was elected
president over William Henry Harrison,
receiving 10 electoral votes to 124 for
all others, of which Harrison received
% votes.
In total popular vote of Laos, 205
Van Buren, had a majority of q, 1913.
Van Buren, was the successor of Andrew
Jackson and his favorite in the race. he
entered the presidency the most expert
enced and astute politician the country
had seen 10 that time. tie used all Of
the patronage as spoils.
Mr.. Van Buren,. man of first-ciass
ability, and the superior of Dir. Cleveland
in every respect, was renominated IN 1910
by his party with even more show of en-
thusiasm than Mr.. Cleveland has called
forth and with much better prospects be-
cause the Democrats had been quite
generally successful in the elections of
1929 Harris was the Wing candidate.
Never was campaign more adroItly
managed than that of Mr. Van Buren,,
but after campaign IN which all the
federal officers and patronage were used
to defeat him, General Harris was over
whelmingly elected, receiving "a cleo
toral votes to 90 for Mr. Van Buren,. and
a majority of l39.2 $50 of the popular vote
in total OF 2,il0, 79S.
In the history Of the country there has
not been such political overturn as that
of 1890.
And here 1t may be added that one of
the leading issues of the campaign was
that relating to the tariff. Under the
tariff compromise which was forced by
the nullifiers of South Carolina, the in
dustries of the country had been nearly
ruined. The Wings declared boldly for
protection and carried the country.
Thus it appears that the conditions and
issues in 1883 are nearly identical with
those of 1870 There Is reason 10 believe
that parallel will be continued and that
Cleveland viii be defeated as was Van
Buren,.

SICK DEMOCRATS.

The result of the st. Louis convention
seems to have been received by the coun-
try at large with less demonstration than
that of any national convention ever yet
assembled in the history Of the country.
Outside of the convention itself and of
the Democratic members of the lower
house no single hurrah has been heard
from one side of this broad land to the
other. No single hat has gone up in eX-
ultation, no extravaganza of any charac-
ter INDUCED in. The free bulletins Of
the Western Union Telegraph company
did not attract to exceed half dozen OF
so at any time. The truth is,we suspect,
the people are very tired of all this
destiny trash and "civil service by
pocrasy and ''free trade balderdash in
dulged in by the present administration,
who after declaring it unpatriotic to ac-
cept a second term forced his own re-
nomination.

General Clinton B. Fiske, the Prohibi-
ton candidate for president, Is reported
to have gone to the country to study
over the situation and make up his mind
whether or not to accept the nomination.
Or it may be he is cogitating over the
matter of whether or not he shall appear
at the public confessional and do further
penance for the part he took in behalf of
the lost cause, which appears to be de-
manded by certain of the following that
set him up. The chances are that the
general does not care the toss of a copper
about the matter, but it is believed he
will make the race, inasmuch as it
will be an easy job, and afford lots of
notoriety.

That enthusiastic California delegate
to the ST. Louis convention who re-
marked that with Cleveland and Thur
man the party would make clean sweep
of the Pacific coast, was just very lit
tie too previous in the assertion, for al
most at the moment news was received
that Oregon had led off in the opposite
direction, and that, too. with a full
knowledge of the fact that the ticket
would be Cleveland and Thurman. The
citizens of the Pacific coast no doubt feel
kindly toward Mr.. Thurman for the
sympathy he has expressed for them In
regard to the Chinese question, but they
know full well that single handed he can
afford Them little practical help, and that
if elected vice-president he would be so
handicapped by his party and the ad-
ministraJion as to be rendered powerless
TO do them any service. What they
want is that the entire administration
shall be in sympathy with them and that
the party that is friendly to their inter
ests shall control the policy of the gov
eminent. This is what we understand
the meaning of the result of the Oregon
election to be.

of the fine bronze Garibaldi statue in
Washington square Monday to talk
United States and the stars and stripes
to the adopted citizens within hearing of
his voice and beyond it. He told the
ltalian-Americans that their new coun-

its glory must be the first object in their
affections. He added that he expected
to hear prejudice and intolerance object
TO the Garibaldi statue on religious
grounds. But we settled that question
a century ago" he said.

Davis on the occasion of the laying of
the corner stone of a proposed monu-

Even old man jeff himself seems to have

SENATOR PLUMB ON THE CUR
RENCY.

Phillipsburg Herald.
The following letter, just received at
the Herald Office, was not intended for
publication, but as it brings out facts not
generally known, which are deeply af-
fecting the public interest, we have taken
the Liberty to publish it.
SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES.
WASHINGTON, d. c., May 90, 'S8.
R. A. Dague, Esq, Phillipsburg, Kansas.
DEAR SIR:-I am very glad indeed to
note your commentator of the
speech which ] made on the currency
question. 1t has seemed very singu-
lar to me that the people did not APP
pear to take any greater interest in this
matter than they have done. The pres
ent administration has gone On in its
work of contracting the currency with
out any apparent notice being taken of
it, and the Democratic party which
formerly made so much fuss about the
alleged contraction of the currency by
the Republicans seems to be entirely sat
isfied with what Mr.. Cleveland is doing.
The senate. as you will remember. passed
a bill which would prevent any further
contraction of the currency by providing
additional circulation to take the place
of national bank notes retired. This
bill has been shelved in the house and
will not again be heard of. 1t was I'M
derstood that this was done at the
special request of the president. Mean
while we are told from the same august
source that the tariff is the source of all
our woes and the only thing which
needs looking after. The contraction of
currency is responsible for more of the
financial trouble than the tariff is or ever
could be.
hope you are pleased with your new
location and that you will tie to Kansas
permanently. Those who have done so
and exercised reasonable judgment and
determination have done well, which
have no doubt will be your case also.
Yours truly. p. B. PLUMB.

The work of organizing Republican
clubs has gone forward so rapidly that it
IS estimated that there are now 5000
rlubS in the United States. In Connec-
lieut. alone 1000 young Republicans are
reported as members of such clubs. This
is splendid showing of the energy and
enthusiasm of the party in this new
movement. 1t is an indication of re-
newed life and activity in a direction
which is sure to prove of incalcuable
benefit in the campaign. The club move
ment is one of the signs of a Republican
revival and is destined to prove a very
effective agency in restoring the party to

THE TARIFF IN A NUTSHELL.

The following condensation of the tar
if issue for the benefit of busy people is
from Boston paper. Few speeches, so
far delivered in congress, have stated the
situation SO clearly:
If, as every well posted man will allow,
the progress Of this country in the pres
ent era Of protection has been marvel
Gus and stands unparalleled in the
worlds history
If the policy of protection rules at the
present time in ali nations of the earth
with but two or three exceptions. and is
everywhere gaining in favor rather than
losing, even in England
If the product of our manufactures
have grown SO tremendously in this
era of protection that we are now the
foremost manufacturing nation on
earth
If wages are higher now than they
were at the close of the last free trade
era
If the American citizen is better paid,
better clad, better educated. and unless
he is free trader more contented than
any other on the face of the globe
If the tide of immigration on the part
Of those who are seeking to better their
condition in life is away from free trade
countries to protection America
If the American workman not only
earns more and spends more, but also
puts more money in savings institutions.
than any other class of working people
If business is fairly good and we are
holding our own in every branch OF
trade and industry except our unpro-
tected ocean-carrying trade
If the future outlook is for continued
growth and development, as in the past
Why, in the name of common sense
and ordinary prudence, should we aim
deadly blow at this same protective sys-
tenn, which has served us so we'll
When it is purely a matter OF choice
and not of necessity in doing So
When the surplus revenue can be
more easily and quickly reduced by the
abolition of the internal revenue war

When further reductions of the reve-

been SO harmful to this country in the
past and bodies such evils for the future,
that it needs an exterminating blow be-
fore anything else is done, in which case
he is fairly entitled to consideration as
superlatively foolish.
Summed up in one sentence our in
dictment against the Mills bill. the presl-
dents message, and all movements in
sympathy Herewith, is this: If our
country has done exceedingly well IN the
past, is doing well at present, and has a
fairly good outlook, why strike at the
fiscal system under which SO much pros
perity has been attained, when it is not
only necessary to go out Of the way to
do so, but also to retard other desirable
legislation, unless one has private aims
to further by SO doing, or is lacking in
good judgment and prudence.
All of which goes to show that the ire
mendous burden of proof resting upon
the free trade assailants of the status quo
to show that we have prospered in spite
of protection, and that we would be all
the better off without it, will make them
very weary before the campaign of 1888
is half over.
