Who will now say that political boss
ism is unknown in China? Chinese salt is
produced, says Consul Jones, in the fiat,
marshy country on the east coast of the
Kiang-Su province, but it is a govern
or used in the province where it is pro-
duced. This rule is adopted with a view
of increasing the squeezes" and emolu-
ments of the Government officials. This
is little finer point than the American
boss ever dreamed of. Applied to this
country, such rule would require our
products to be brought into every section
from some other, though each might pro
duce sufficient for home consumption.

A FEW years ego the Democracy said to
the people, You are paying five cents a
pound duty on coffee, making it cost
twenty cents per pound. Now take off
that duty and coffee will fall to fifteen
cents" Stree that date the duty has been
taken off and put on several times, but the
retail price has never reflected the change.
When we took off the import duty the
foreign market clapped on an export duty,
and so the consumer gained nothing by the
Democratic proposition. There are many
other articles of daily use that We are told
will come down" by removal of the duty,
which in all likelihood will not be affected
by such action any more than coffee has
been.

FACTS AND PONDER.
Wages and Cost of living i'm the
United States and Great
Britain.

The following carefully prepared statis-
tics, covering the difference in wages be-
tween free trade England and America
under protection, shows the fallacy of
Democratic assertion that wages are as
high across the Atlantic as when industries
are protected by tariff also, that the cost OF
living in the two countries does not change
this advantage, but leaves the American
workingman with wide surplus for savings
which, according to the statistics Of oul
saving banks, are thus husbanded, or are
/ invested in comfortable homes

In the preceding tables it has been shown
that the wage5 of the American worknsn
are from so to 800 per cent. greater than
those OF his English fellows. The ques-
ton then arises, Is the purchasing power Of
a dollar in the hands of an American
workman the same. or is it more or less
than the purchasing power of the equiva-
lent of n dollar in the hands of an English
workman?
The answer is One dollar will buy more
/ in the United States of such things as the
workingman uses than As I'D will in Eng
land. Joseph ID. " eeks, in letter pub
lished in the Triumphant Den1ocraey SAYS
1t (Sl) will buy considerably more -four
more meat, provisions, bacon, ham, vege-
tables, eggs, butter, cheese, farm products
| OF all kinds, tea, coffee, more oil, little
less sugar, and, in many parts of the coun.
try, more fuel. As to dry goods and cloth
ing, it will buy more sheeting, shirting
prints and calicoes, and as much of any
kind of clothing, such as workingmef
wear, but in some cases less"

Mr.. Tucker an1the Blair Bill.

Whatever the position the necessities
of this campaign may drive Mr.. Tucker
to assume. on the Blair bill, lie Is praeti-
cally against that III assure He stands upon
platform both in. his di,.r riot and in the
Nation that declares against it. III is par
ty S record IN Congress is against it. and he
has never, in all Of hia political expe
ritnce. SAID word in its detense aud in
explanation Of it's benefits; but on the
contrary has heard it assailed. and meyer
spoke ii word for it.
The National Democratic Convention
of 1884 declared aga nst it; the Cnnsan =
tion Ut 1883 reatfirmed the latIorm OF
1854, and The democratic Convention
which nominated Mr.. Tucker. endorsed
the national declaration Of the party. Mr.,
Tucker accepted the nomination Oh that
platform and now he says he stands Oh it.
With the authoritative announcement Of
his party in both the Nation and the dis
trict, and Mr.. Tucker ) mlhatic approval
of 10th. against the is,air Bill, Or Of ma
tional aid to public education. how can
Mr. Tucker reconcile it to his SENSE OF
right and fairness, to promise the people.
that, if elected. he will support that
measure? And even if ne should. what
effect would it have? His party has been
tested and tried on the sui jet. Three
times has Democratic House defeated
the bill, after it had as often been passed
by Republican stnate, and should the
House be Democratic the same fate would
await it.
The Roanoke Convention of 1885 de-
clared for the Blair bill. and in the face OF
this declaration. the Democratic members
of Congress from Virginia voted for Mr..
Carlisle for Speaker, knowing that he
would arrange the committees to kill it.
They not only did this, but they hurrahed
for the st. Louis platform, which is
against the bill, and for heir candidate for
and would veto it should it ever reach
him,
Whether Mr.. Tucker knows it or not,
he stands committed against the Blair bill,
an all similar legislation. His party
stands committed against it, and even
should he want to redeem his promise,
made to meet apressing emergency and not
from conviction of high duty, he would
be as mere feather on the current Of his
party s drift and purposes.
A vote for Mr.. Tucker. therefore, would
be a vote against the Blair Bill, to all in
tents and purposes, as it would be against
the material development and the labor
interests of the State and Nation. There
is where he stands and he cannot protest
or argue out of it.

A majority of these articles are actually
| cheaner here than iii En- gland, and in no case
| does the difference In price approach the duty.
Let every workingman cut out this table and
| confront the Presidents absurd theory with a
condition which ought to be satisfactory to any
! natriotic American This table could be sup
| plemented by 800 other articles, the prices o.
which in this country and England give the lie
to both Cleveland's and Thurman's absnld talk
about the consumer paying the amount OF the
duLv in the price of the domestic article which
he BUYS In many cases in the textile indus
tries the actual price of the domestic article is
NOT more than the rate of duty per yard.
The figures presented above-and they could
be supplemented by similar figures in every
protected industry-s that the duty does
not operate as any lax whatever upon the
American consumer, since. upon the whole.
American prices are as low as the foreign.
Take blar kets, for example, and the price here
in the United States, at such reputable houses
as McCreerv e, are not one penny more than
for the same quality of blankets ia London.
The Press will challenge any free trader to dis
prove this fact. For three months we had SAM
pies of all sorts of wooden clothing i'll this
Office, and were prepared to prove that ready
made clothing was as cheap and SIS good here
as in LONDON aud not 8 free trader dared to
accept our challenge. AS result we hear no
more about the poor mans clothing and olan-
kets being taxed.
The point" CT the Presidents message and
letter is being met every hand by intelli-
gent. practical business men, and there is no
possible danger of wide awake w0i kingm IN
being caught by any such self evident false
hood.
