LOOK BACK.
The Intimacy Between High Taxes
and Hard Times.

Let us turn ovpr few pages in this
book and see. In 1908 tariff duties were
made prohibitory and commerce with
the world was shut off, just as the Chi
cago platform contemplates. There
was financial and commercial col
lapse: there were ruin and disaster
everywhere. In 1909 the prohibitOry
tariff was repealed, and tariff about
one-fifth as high as we have at present
was enacted. What followed?
You may tell me. ul
The nation again moved off on a.
career of prosperity. In 1912 the tariff
of 1909 was doubled and the war cut off
importationS and expectations; we had
"a home Market" as in 1908. What
was the result?
/ never read that part of history.
Hard times prevailed, banks suspend
ed and there was distress everywhere.
In 1916 the protection doctors took
hand and undertook to cure the patient
by framing the first protective tariff"
raising the taxes somewhat higher than
in 1912. What do you supposed fol-
lowed?
Better times.
They grew worse; there was still
greater depression of trade. In 1912
the doctors gave the patient another
dose of projections" increased the tar
if tax all around, and what then?
am sure | do not know.
The year of 1919 was one of universal
disaster. The country moved slowly
and labOriously. In 1924 more tariff was
put on, and there was no improvement.
In 1928 still highertariff tax was put
on, and times grew a little harder. In
1882 the country changed doctors, and
part of the tariff tax was wiped out.
What followed?
Go on and tell me.
Business Immediately revived. In 1888
the tax was lowered again, and pros
perity increased. By the year 1887 the
United States treasury was Overflowing,
and the surplus was divided around
among the states. An era of wild spec
ulatiOn followed the distribution; the
land bubble was blown up so large that
it burst, and panic ensued, the effects
of which lasted for nearly two years.
Then things started to move off
smoothly until 1912, when the prOtec-
ton doctors again got hold of the cOun-
try, and the famous tariff of that year
was enacted. Can you tell me what
happened?
L was always in favor of the tariff of
'42. 1t built up the countay.
History doesn't say so. On the con-
trary, in 1S43 the depression was greater
than what followed the panic of 1887,
and from which the country had recoy-
cred. Prices of farm products fell off
one-half, and commerce was cut in two
in the middle. Then for the first time
in the nations history the protected
few began to get rich at the expense of
the overtaxed many, especially at the
expense of the farming interest. In
1916 the tariff of 1912 was reduced about
one-half, and what followed?

LILY TO MARRY GEBHARDT.
The Event to Occur the Latter
Part of This Month.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-The skies were
full of unshed tears over and about the
Cunard dock at o'clock yesterday, as
the famous siX-day steamer, Etruria,
pulled out into midstream with Mrs.
Langtry leaning over the rail Of the up
per deck in the most becoming of
dresses. Her two little nieces stood by
her and Sir Alfred GOoch was at her
right. Mrs. Langtry had reached the
Etruria at an uncomfortably early hour.
The people who really took an interest
in her were not there yet. She retired
Immediately to her state room on the
saloon deck and did not re-appear until
all the sightseers had been driven
ashore. In her party were her brother.
Mr.. LeBreton, and his wife, and the
two little nieces. Assistant District
Attorney Bedford was there to see her
off.
Mrs. Langtry's dress was so ineffable
as to puzzle all beholders, and many
times did the eloquent district attorney,
who had apparently learned the lesson
by heart, have to describe it. This is
the way he did it.: Well, yon see, you
might say that Mrs. Langtry has on a
gray and white striped. travelling suit.
/ think you call the stuff electra, or
electric, or something OF that sort, and
her hat is brown or brown-crush, but
the crush is not at all accidental; oh,
no. The crush was put there on pur-
pose. The hat was mashed when it
saw Mrs. Langtry. Mrs. Langtry
said that her trip was business
trip. She said that she was go
ing to London and Paris. In the
latter city she expected to buy some
costumes and negotiate for a new
play. She will return the latter part of
the month. A lady who is in the con-
fidence of the Lily said the other day
that Mrs. Langtry's real object in going
abroad at this time was to get married.
"She will marry Mr.. Gebhardt, who is
already on the other side" said the in
formant, lin London on the oath of Sep
TENDER. This is fact of which you
are the first person beside myself to be
aware"
This, however, is not the first time
that Mrs. Langtry's marriage has been
more or less confidently announced
without any accompanying announce
ment that she is no longer Mr.. Lang
try's wife. If divorce has been OBJ
tanned the secret has been well kept.

Eugene Wilson's Platform
Hunts the Free Trade
Humbug DOVE.
A Clear Case Of What Excess
i've Taxation Has Not Done
for the Farmer. :.
Less Than 5000 Persons Own
and Control Half of the 2
National Wealth. j
It Is Pertinent to Ask IL the
Millionaires Are 4
Farmers. q

The Democracy, and Eugene Wilson
as its standard bearer, present to the
farmers the following lucid explanation
of the relation of high taxes to agricul-
ture. This remarkably clear analysis
is from the pen of w. A. Taylor:
''Farmer Blossom had shown me over
his half section of well-tilled land. We
had partaken of good country dinner,
and were in the sitting room enjoying
our cigars, when he said, with sigh:
Free trade is going to ruin us poor
farmers.
What free trade?
Why, the Mills bill.
Have you read 1t?
No.
Then how do you make out that it is
free trade?
Why, the papers say so.
What papers?
The Republican papers-and the Re-
publican statesmen, too.
And you put credence in such slush?
/ see that you have some very valuable
books here in your library bearing on

to little practical use. When did we
ever have free trade" as you call it, in
this country?
oh! frequent.
But when?
! Well, l can't say, but I've heard so.
But hearing is not always believing,
especially when demagogue is trying
to fool you out of your vote. Then you
can't tell when we had free trade i'll this
country?
No.
Never. The nearest we ever came to
it was in 1889, when all interstate tariffs
were abolished. and all tariffs OH foreign
goods were reduced to normal figure.
What do you suppose was the result?
Why, the country suffered - was
ruined.
On the contrary, it took its first step
forward, and in twenty years had about
doubled in, population and quadrupled
in wealth. When did we have such
tariff laws as are contemplated by the
Chicago platform?
l do not know.
In 1905. And what do you suppose
was the result?
Why, the country prospered more
rapidly than ever.

OHIO MILITIA.
A Great Turnout at the Encamp-

COLUMBUS, o., Sept. 2.-This has
been great day at the state encamp-
ment of militia. There are over 5000
men in Camp Sheridan, and to-day ex-
cursions came from all parts of the
state and citizens turned out EN- masse.
The crowd on the ground is variously'
estimated at from 40, 900 to $4,000. During
the day ther was religious services, a
general inspection of the regiments and
this evening grand parade and re-
view by the governor and staff. The
infantry, cavalry and artillery were at
their best, and the general encamp-
ment is already pronounced success.
1t will likely be made a permanent an
nual feature of the national guard

Republican Lie,

Dawson Sentinel.
A special from Lac qui Parle to the Pioneer
Press says: A number of Democrats in this
vicinity are disguised with the action Of the
Democratic state convention, and will not
support the Democratic nominees. They
have no fault to find with the nomination of
E. NJ Wilson, but will not support him,
simply on account of the way the convention
was manipulated. Bossism is not what they
want.
The above special is from a sore-head DEM
ocratie source, and on that account must be
taken with some grains of allowance. Look
ing at the matter from an unprejudiced
standpoint the Sentinel fails to discover any
disgust" with the ticket, but on the con-
trary we hear it highly spoken of by all the
leading Democrats OF the county, and there
is every reason to believe that -. Wilson

DAKOTA POLITICS

Mr.. BoYNToN says that Dakota will
go Democratic this fall. 1t would be a
sensible thing for Dakota to do. A fine
agricultural and. pastoral region like
Dakota ought to be Democratic on gem
eral principles. But the people of the
territory have a special reason for put
ting themselves in harmony with the
popular sentiment of the country. BY
sending Democratic delegate to con-
gress Dakota can make sure of admis-
sion as a state into the Union.

FALSE FIGURING.

The old principle that figures can't lie
was knocked from its foundations by
the table published in the Pioneer Press
yesterday showing the respective
strength of the Republican guberna-
torlal candidates. In its effort to pad
the strength of the corporation candi-
date. counties were put down in the
MERRIAM column when the tele-
graphic dispatches in another col
umn sof the paper proclaimed that
the delegates elected from those coun-
ties were favorable to SCHEFFER or
MCGILL. 1t never helps candidate to
publish false estimates of his strength.

liyered from his fool friends.

A Specimen Case of Protection

Philadelphia Record.
Philadelphians who desire to see a
specimen of the results of the introduc-
ton of cheap pauper labor in the mills
of the highly protected industries of
this. state should take trip out to the
PencOyd iron works, opposite Manayunk.
These great works are owned by Rob-
erts & Co., who have raised big Harri-
son and Morton banner at the little vii
lage of Pencoyd and are jealous in their
advocacy of the national Republican
platform. which bristles with senti-
ments of protection to American la

country.
The Pencoyd works employ nearly
1,300 men, of whom nearly 600 cannot
speak the English language, who, like
their Acknowledgements in the coal
regions. hive together as thick as her
rings, in the most abominable quarters,
and work for from 81 to Sl.25 day.
A few years ago the wages of the
men who are doing their work
averaged over $3.50 day. In some
instances these men have been
brought to Pencoyd by contract at 81
head, paid to an agent in Philadelphia.
Most of the work done about the mills
which does not require skilled labor is
done by these foreigners, and some of
them are being introduced into the mills
to help the puddlers and take the place
of American helpers. The workmen
about Pencoyd say that it will only be
a matter of time when the mills will be
worked almost exclusively by this for
eign element.

The gubernatorial question is fast reaching

our prediction is that McGill will be renomi-
mated. The reason for arriving at this con-
clusion is that MeGill has so conducted his
canvass that he has not antagonized either
Schaffer or Merriam so much as to make it a
difficult task for the followers of one or the
other to go to him when it is found that
neither one can secure the coveted prize.
