THE REPUBLICAN BOOMERANG.

II is pleasant to remark that the Demo
Gratis are not so foolishlv confident as to
think that they can win an election with
out very vigorous and careful canvass
But II is also pleasant to view the manu-
factured enthusiasm of the Republican
party and to see how their pretenses. get
impaed and punctured just with the I'M
petus of their movement when they run
AGAINST one of their own contradictions.
Here are two very pretentious and boast
full platforms, blown full OF brag ana al
yertised with circus and patent medicine
posters, howled up and down the country
towns and intOned to the music Oh all me
brass bands and all the party tom-toms.
And with all the noise the effect Is 10
call attention to the back action somer-
sault of the party which in the platform
of 1884, went for tariff revision, following
the idea of the greatest leaders OF the
party, and now advocates the most iron
clad high tariff Instituted Tor war pu'-
poses only.
Every time Mr.. Harrison gives forth
an utterance that can be heard above the
din and clatter of the Blaine circus, tn
country is.treated to a declaration precise
" opposite to what Big Chief Blaine says
Is the true idea of the party, and so very
acrobatic and picturesque are the per
formances that one is tempted to think
that Mr.. Blaine has turned green and
widowed with jealousy and disappoint-
ment, and wants to beat his own party
lust to convince them that he is the one
great and only leader.
No sooner does the Tribune virtuously
attack trusts than Mr.. Blaine says they
are not proper subjects for political
treatment, and thus Mr.. Harrison is left
fluttering between the platform and
Blaine. When vain man gets bee in
his bonnet, and such big one as Blaine
had, neither disappointment nor age will
stop the incisive insects buzzing. Per-
haps the explanation of Mr. Blane's
performance is, that if Harrison is de-
feated, his own genius as the one AMI
only great leader will be called TO re-
trieve the disaster This view of the
leaders policy may be very tickling to
his own vanity, but II is still more pleas
ing TO the Democrats.

OUR HIGH TARIFF.
Sound Views of a Wen Known Democrat
fFCr the TIMFs

Fer the TINES.
From 1850 to 1860 a revenue tariff, such
substantially as the Democratic party is
now striving to enact, was the law in the
United States From 1870 to 1880 pro
tective tariff the offspring of the Repub-
lican party, has been in force, and ii is
profitable TO compare the operation of
the two systems on all the great Interests
they involve, viz: cost of production and
manufacture, consumption, the number
of employees and their wages. Under
which system were the manufacturing
interests most prosperous, and under
which did the workmen remain most
content and fare best On those ques-
tons experience teaches US more than
argument or theory, and If reliable data
are TO be obtained, what they disclose
should be accepted by the American peo-
pie as settling the question between the
revenue reformers and the protection
lists.
The census of 1880 gives the statistics
of manufactures In the United States, be-
ginning with 1850 and coming to 1890.
The decade from 1860 10 1870 cannot be
taken into consideration, because the

The growth of industriallpower in the
United States under revenue tariif was
so per cent. in ten years, and under
protective tariff only 81 per cent in a
corresponding period
Now let US see how the facts are in re-
gard to the working men for whose
special benefit it is claimed that the pro
tective policy must be maintained. Under
which system do the official figures show
they Jared best? When and under what
policy did the greatest number find en-
ployment and receive, relatively, the
most wages? Did the revenue system
act injuriously upon them in these re-
specls, and did it throw them cut of en-
ployment and diminish their wages 2
Does the protective tariff now in force
advance him in either respect These
are grave questions, no. only to him but
to the whole country. and the statistics
answer them fully and most conclusively.

countries were open to the trade of the
world the race for commerce should lie
persistent to such degree that every al
vantage obtained by any one community

superiority of manufacture alone should
