FACTS VERSUS CLAMOR.

The cry of the Republican newspapers
that the MILLS bill, if passed into
law, will be disastrous to American
manufacturers and American wOrkmen
is as inSincere and dishonest as was
their cry four years ago that the election
of Democratic president would bring
disaster to the country. They do not
believe what they are saying, but,acting
upon the principle that lie well stuck
to answers the purpose OF truth, they
are hammering away from day to day on
the same old prophecy of impending
ruin to all industries. Ii these partisan
newspapers only knew how small an
impression this roar and racket is max
ing on the public they would cease their
camOr.
The mass of the people are studying
the tariff question thoughtfully and
conscientiously. They desire to make
up an accurate Judgment from a study
of the facts bearing upon the situation,
and will not be deceived by the uproar
that is being created by the protection
ist press.
The howl of the lobby and the rage Of
the subsidized press will not darken the
eyes of the people to the fact that the
passage of the MILLS bill will reduce
the taxes $55, 100000.
The clam0r of the protectioniStS will
not wipe out the truth that for every
dollar of tax the MILLS bill will inter-
cept on its way to the treasury it will
save to the people two other dollars Oh
the way to the NAV of the monopoly.
There are many intricate things about
this tariff problem, and many questions
arising in connection with it most diff
cult of understanding.
But for all that, there are many things
written in the MILLS bill so plain in
their terms that he that runneth may
read, and the wayfaring man, though
fool, need not err therein.
The working people understand that
by the passage of the MILLS bill they
would be enabled to buy
Cheaper shelter,
Cheaper food,
Cheaper clothing.
Every good housewife in the land
knows that under the operation of the
Cheaper dyeStutfs,
Cheaper earthenware,
Cheaper calico.
Every builder and mechanic knows
that the MILLS bill would give him
Cheaper lumber,
Cheaper glass,
Cheaper paint and chemicals.
Every farmer knows that the MILLS
bill would enable him to buy
Cheaper farm utensils,
Cheaper groceries,
Cheaper wooden and cotton goods.
These are facts easy to be compre-
hendcd by the common people.
And with these facts staring him in
the face, no amount Of argument or
sophistry will convince the labOring man
that he is to be injured by the MILLS
bill.
And as for the manufacturers, they
know we'll enough that if they can buy
cheaper raw material they can make
cheaper goods and pay better wages.

Donnelly and the Labor knights

To the Editor of the Globe.
1 notice in recent number of your
paper all extract from a Fergus Falls
journal, in which it is stated that pro-
cured the black-listing of certain men,
bers of the house and senate, by the
Knights of Labor. beg leave to say
that the Knights of Labor of Minnesota
are fully able to think and act for them
selves, and are no mans men. The action
referred to was taken by them in one Of
their secret meetings.; l am not mem
Der Of the order; and neither inspired
nor requested it, nor knew of it until it
was published. Some of the men
black-listed are personal friends of
mine, and should be sorry they should
think 1 had thus assailed them by indi-
rection. l am bold enough to express
my opinions on men and measures
whenever think the time has come to
do so.
Neither do 1 understand that the
Knights of Labor intended that that
blacklist should be published. 1t
found it's way to the light in some mys-
FERROUS manner. 1t was their purpose
that it should reach only their own
members, in the secrecy of their own
councils. l regret its publication as
much as they do.

Not a Radical Measure.

Boston GIODe.
AS whole, the bill follows the emf
nently cautious and conservative lines
of the presidents message, and it will
be idle for the Republicans to attempt
to meet it, as they did the bill of last
season, by the general allegation that
it will destroy our industries. 1t is
clearly not a radical or destructive
measure. The protective principle of
our tariff is left untouched. The duties
that afford real protection are not mate
rally changed. 1t is not, in fact, a bill
aimed to unsettle our tariff policy, nor
to alarm the industries that have been
built up thereby, but simply to effect
that reduction in the amount of cash an
nually taken from the pockets of the
people, which every one admits to be
necessary

Wool Needs No Protection.

San Francisco Examiner.
Protectionists assume that the wool
industry was created an is maintained
by the tariff, but they omit to mention
the scale of duties that prevailed when
Abraham watched his flocks from the
poor of his tent on the plains of Canaan.
The fact is, sheep-raising is the
very first occupation to which men
resort as they begin to emerge from
savagery. 1t needs no more protection
than beggary does. 1t is the natural
industry where land and labor are fit
for nothing better. This tax benefits
moi ody except the foreign capitalists
wi make WOODEN goods in competition
with ours. 1t does not benefit the Amer
lean grower, for he does not produce
anything like Australian lambs wool,
and that article must be used in certain
goods. 1t is ruinous to the American
manufacturers, who have to pay nearly
twice as much as their foreign rivals
for third of their material, in addition
to the taxes on their fuel and ma
chinery.
What the wool growers particularly
need is market, and they will not get
any better prices for their wool by de-
stroying the only market that is open to
them.

That would be still greater fun. Tom

Brainerd News.
That published opinion of Knute Mel

Mills, has somewhat cooled the ardor of
Kelly and Doran's bashful advances.
And it is thought that Knut perhaps

he may be. 1t begins to look as if the
Republicans will have to
GO TO THE WEST
for candidate. In this horizon John
Sherman looms up potentially. The
danger he must face is positive an
tagonism which comes from the East.
Probably, almost certainly, without
good cause, there is an element opposed
to him because of the fear that his
operations in the days of the resump-
ton of specie payments may be too
closely connected with the New York
bank, now known only as Fort Sher-
man. Going beyond Ohio to Iowa it is
found that Allison cuts less of a figure
than Sherman. The chances are that
neither will attain the nomination.

of the tariff question now before the
public. He is eloquent and earnest,
and has made an exhaustive study of
the subject in hand. What he doesn't
know about the tariff issue may be said
to be hardly worth knowing.

The Origin of Earrings.

According to the Moslem creed, the
reason why every Mohammedan lady
considers it her duty to wear earrings is
attributed to the following curious
legend: Sarah, tradition tells us, was
so jealous of the preference shown by
Abraham for Hagar that she took a
solemn VOW that she would give
herself no rest until she had mutilated
the fair face of her hated rival
and bondmaid. Abraham, who had

Meanwhile by reducing the tariff

The Most Important Measure.

New York Times.
1t is by far the most important fiscal
measure brought before congress since
the close of the war. In the actual con-
dition of the politics, the treasury, the
commerce and the industry of the
country it may be said to be the most
important measure of any sort submitted
to congress since the war, with the
exception of the constitutional amend
ments and the bill for the RESUMPTION of
specie payments. The political signifi-
canoe of the measure can readily be I'M
derstood. Twice before the Democratic
party, in majority in the house, has
brought forward proposition to relieve
the industries and the commerce Of the
country of the burdens imposed
upon them by the war tariff. Each
time it has met the almost solid OppOsi-
ton of the Republican party, and
thanks to the few Democrats who,
under the lead of Mr.. Randall, have
gone into the Republican camp, it has
been defeated. Now once more it takes
up its task. Will it have the same OPP
position? That is the question the Re-
publicauS must face.
