Effect of the Tariff.

IL is claimed that the tariff increases
the selling price and makes commod-
tiles dearer to the consumers, who
bear the burden of it ALL but let us see
how this is. The purpose of the tariff
was to foster manufacturing in this
country, so that by home competition
the price of the commodities would be
reduced to the minimum with labor
literally paid. Ii has not only cheap
ened every thing it has touched, but
has increased the wages of labor.
That it has made these things pos
sible there is no good reason to doubt.
The "tax on the laboring man is
more of fiction than truth, when the
blessings of home competition are
recognized. But this same laboring
man. has another advantage higher
wages. If there were but one pro-
Queer ard he the only consumer, his
wages would little concern him as an
element entering into the cost of pro-
dsction, for what he paid for articles
he would receive in wages, and tho
cost of living and the price Of labor
would remain relative. But were there
two consumers and one producer, the
latter would have the advantage of re-
,eiving wages for supplying two while
at the expense of supporting but one.
That is the condition of labor in this
country to-day, but the Mills bill will
open our ports to foreign producers
who will receive a good share of the
wages that should go to the American
laborer. Chicago Current (Ia".N.

a Word to Laboring Men.

| would not have an idle man or an
idle mill or an idle spindle in this
country if by holding exclusively the
American market we could keep them
employed and running. Every yard Of
cloth imported here makes a demand
for one yard less of American fabrica-
ton. Every ton of steel imported
diminishes that much OF home produc-
ton. Every blow struck on the other
side upon an article which comes here
in competition with like articles pro-
duced here makes the demand for one
blow less at home. Every days labor
upon the foreign products sent to the
United States takes one days labor
from American working-men. | would
give the days labor to our own first,
last and all the time, and that policy
which fails in this is opposed to Amer
lean interests. To secure this is the
great purpose of protective tariff.
Free trade says give it to the foreign
workman if ours will not perform it at
the same price and accept the same
wages; the working-men say no, and
Justly and Indignantly resent this at
tempted degradation of their labor, this
blow at their independence and man
hood. From Congressman McKiHieys

The Only Correct Policy.

The free-traders hold out great
allurements of gaining the access to
the markets of the world for our
wooden manufactures if we will con-
sent to remove the protective duty on
wool. If they are so anxious to get
into foreign markets the best way to
go about it would be to follow the ex-
ample of other nations of promoting
their manufactures, and make a re-
bate on exported wooden manufact-
ures equal to the duty on wool. This
would accomplish the desired result
without destroying our own iocks
and herds. But to common-sense
people it would seem that before start
ing off ON a chase for the elusive
markets of the world" we take care
of our own home market We i'm

raw wool, and SAL, 235, 243 worth Of
manufactured wool 500, $50, 613 in all.
which in quality and value greatly cX-
ceeds any trade we can hope to estab-
lish abroad If, instead of sending
that $50, $50, 6l3 across the seas last
year, we had paid it to our people tho

LOvEJOYS NOMINATION.
A Fine sample of Democratic DupIicity,
Chicanery and Hypocrisy.

n
Chicanery and Hypocrisy.
Our Democratic friends appear to
be extracting considerable satisfaction
out of the reports that the sons or
other younger relatives of two or
three of the former anti-slavery lead
ers have left their old party friends
and gone over to the Democracy. One
of the Bourbon papers, in referring to
the detection of the son of William
Lloyd Garrison and the son of Owen
Lovejoy, makes the astounding OBJ
Notwithstanding, that is to say,
when coming from a Democratic jour
nal-that " there is something of the
old spirit here" meaning that the
sons, in joining the Democratic party.
display some of the fearless, humane
and progressive spirit for which their
fathers were famed.
But is it not rather odd for the
Democrats to commend the esprit y
which they fancy that the present
Garrison and Loveioy typify? These
young men are, probably, honest and
conscientious ia aiiying themselves
with the Democracy. At least. no
Republican has questioned the purity
of their motives in this action. But
it is pertinent to ask: When did the
Democracy begin TO admire the
Esprit for which the elder Garrison
and Lovejoy stood? Was it admira-
ton for Garrison which prompted the
Democratic mob to drag him through
the streets of Boston with a rope
around his neck, with the intention of
hanging him from lamp-post on a
thoroughfare sufficiently prominent to
allow the people of the whole city to
get view of his body as it
dangled in the air? Was it affection
for Lovejoy or LovejOy's cause which
led the Democrats to threaten Con-
gresham Owen Lovejoy with death,
and to murder his brother Elisha in
Alton?
OF course the Democracy. in all its
partisan relations with the sons of CON
spicuous anti-slavery men or Repub-
licans, has been guilty of the most con-
temptible sort of duplicity, chicane
and hypocrisy. When the Massachu-
sets Democrats gave the Gubernatorial
nomination to Charles +. Andrew, sou
of the old Bay States great war Gov
ernOr, a year ago, they knew he ould
not be elected, and did not desire him
to be elected. The Democrats this
year, in nominating Owen LOvejOy for
Congress in the Seventh Illinois dis
trict, are aware that the district is
now represented by Republican, that
its normal Republican majority is
1000 or 5000, and that Loveioy has no
more chance of election in il than he
has of becoming Sultan of Turkey.
Owen Lovejoy is used this year, as
Charles +. Andrew was used a year
ago, as a decoy duck, so to speak, 20
allure to the Democracy, by the infiu-
ence of an illustrious name, other
members of the organization TO which
the fathers OF these men belonged, so
as to strengthen the party in future
cauvasses. If the Illinois Democrats
who have nominated Lovejoy, and the
Bourbon journals throughout the coun-
try which are just now so lavish in his
praise, ever for a moment imagined
that he possessed any of the ''old
spirit which animated his father or
his uncle, they would shun him as they
would a pestilence.-S Louis Globe

Why Their Rewards should Not BE
Weighed with APOthecarIes' Scales.
General Harrison is always at his
best when talking to the old soldiers.
The cOmradeship which exists be-
tween men who have shared common
perils creates bond of sympathy that
binds most strongly. General Harrison
is sure of appreciative hearers when
ever he talks 10 the old soldiers. His
words are more eloquent and tender
when referring to them and the hard
ships they endured and the sacrifices
their families bore than on any other
subject. One of the best things he has
ever uttered was in a recent speech to
some Indiana veterans who called upon
him. After reCOunting the terrible
scenes through which they had passed
and the trials and sacrifices which
their families at home had to endure,
he uttered these impressive words:
My cOuntrymen, il is no time now to
r:se an apOthecary's scales TO weigh
the rewards of the men who saved the
country" That was a forcible and
well-deserved rebuke of the course
which the Democratic Administration
Is pursuing toward the old soldiers.
Mr.. Cleveland is attempting to weigh
on apothecary's scales the services Of
every disabled and dependent veteran.
He spends hours in searching for
minute flaws in their petitions for PEN
sions. in order that he may find some
excuse for vetoing just claim of a
Union soldier. Their struggles and
hariships. their perils and sufferings,
the sacrifices of dependent families at
home-an seem so small in his eyes
that he thinks he can weigh them in
apothecary's scales. But the people Of
this country who gratefully appreciate
the work and the worth OF the Union
soldier will resent with all the power
at their command Mr.. Cleveland's at
tempt to minify and belittle the immor-
tai services of the Union soldiers -Des

General Harrison's Oratory.


There are few of our orators who are
equal to the task of achieving great
ness of expression and effect in few
and simple words. The height of Amer
lean oratory was reached in that
matchless two-minute speech of Lin
coin at Gettysburg. That is not likely
to be equaled for long time, If ever,
but il may be said of several of the
fourscsre of short speeches that our
candidate has lately made that they
belong to the same style OF effort and
place General Harrison high up in COM
parison with the score or so of our
foremost Republican leaders. His short
speeches have been notable for pith
and power. for the clearness and con-
eiseness of their expressions of great
Republican ideas and principles. for
epigrammatic aphorisms that do not
sacrifice truth for effect. He is to-day
the leader of his own campaign. and
has the absolute confidence, the uni
versal support, and the growing adj
miration Of his party. Hence the DEM
ocratic sneers. slurs and attacks. They
are the tributes paid TO a formidable
leader by his political foes.-N u Mad

ENGLISH sYMPATHY.

The very conservative and truthful
London Globe says: "As rule the
Presidential contest has very little
interest to the Old World. On the
present occasion, however, an issue
is involved which very closely concerns
Europe. more particularly Great Brit
ain. Mr.. Cleveland has taken his
stand on free trade, and, although his
party managers have considerably
planed down his platform. he is uni
versally recognized in the State as
pledged to initiate new departure in
fiscal policy. Nor can there be any
doubt that he would act up TO this UNI
Outstanding were he elected.
THE central issue OF the contest
lies between the maintenance of the
present fiscal system intact and its
modification in the direction of free
trade. And on that broad question Mr..
