sEThe New York Herald kent a caret

B-The New York Herald kept careful
daily record of the manufacturing failures
and wage reductions for ninety days after
the inauguration of President Harrison, and
late issue contained two columns of this
startling array of facts. The recapitulation
says: "This schedule of destitution, extor-
tion, compulsory idleness, financial depres-
sion, public disaster and domestic wrei ched-
ness does not omit single day without its rec
ord of industrial distress, for although few
dates are apparently innocent of news, others
have more than their share of sorrow. II
might be pleaded that there is no necessary
relation between the troubles of the wage earn.
ers and political principles, if it were moi
plain that the employers, who we're most
enthusiastic for Mr.. Harrison's election
have been since that event the most active in
reducing the wages of the defenseless voters
Their activity in this direction began sfte,
election day, and will not be interrupted un-
til another political necessity arises"

SireS and Songs

This stinging rebuke to the contemplate in
consistency of the Republican organs is from
the discerning Savannah Ne,cs:
The Republican organs seem to feel some
thing like contempt for the abilities of Judge
Thurman's son. who is spoken of as the
Democratic candidate for Governor of Ohio.
but they never refer contemptuously to the
abilities of Gen. Grants son, who occupies
an important foreign post, or of MIR. Blaine's
son, who has a snug berth in the State De-
partment. Young Mr.. Thurman is said to be
far superior in point Of ability to either Col.
Frederick Grant or Mr.. Walker Bline.
Bob Lincoln and Russell Harrison ought to
be added to the list. In point of ability young
Mr.. Thurman is so far ahead of them as
to be out of their sight. Moreover, he would
not suffer by comparison with the pedigree
President. The SONS and grandsons fawned
upon by the Republicans have never shown
any merit Of their own which would entitle
either of them to public notice.

The Ohio Democracy.

The Ohio Democracy are receiving compli-
ments Just now from Democratic papers in
other States for the courage and determine
tion displayed in their declarations on the
tariff reform question. The satisfaction
with which those compliments are received
is not unalloyed. There is an intimation
with some of them that the Ohio Democrats
were not quite so stalwart on the subject as
they ought to have been until three years ago,
but it is admitted that they have been all
right since.
The Democrats of Ohio, like the people OF
the United States generally, were not so well
informed as to the effect of tariff legislation
upon the welfare of the community as they
should have been. They have been to school
for the past three or four years and have
learned something. They have come to
understand that the tariff, no matter for
what purpose applied or whether its imports
are high or low, is tax, and that unnecessary
taxation is unjust taxation. Those are prin-
ciples they are not likely to forget. The
problem they next studied is what part of
the tariff taxation is unnecessary and there
fore unjust and how can the tariff be reduced
for the common good with the least injury to
special interests built up under it. The
campaign of education" last year did much
towards solving that problem and nowhere
was greater progress made than in this State.
The Democrats of Ohio have no occasion to
feel ashamed or discouraged at the result of
their part of the national contest last year.
In 1880 the Republicans carried the State for
Garfield by 81, ,227; in 1884 for Blaine by 3D.
SO2; in 1888 for Harrison by 1889. That
shrinkage of Republican maiorities is due to
the education Of the people on the subject of
tariff reform.
Where the Republicans will be ON the
tariff question in the future it is impossible
to tell. They are already trying to get away
from their record of campaign promises and
are anxious to keep the tariff in the back
ground. Not so the Democrats of Ohio
They are united on the subject of tariff re-
form and will keep it we'll to the front in
every campaign until the battle is won. The
Chinese wall which the Republican prohibi-
tory tariffites are seeking to build around
our industries, shutting them in from seek
ing development in the markets of the world,
must be broken down and the Democrats of
Ohio will do their part of the good work

The Farmers' Home Sfarket.- y

According to Secretary Windows report
for May, 1889, the farmers Of the United
States exported -four, wheat. corn, oats, bar
ley, etc., TO the value Of $9,76e, ,S64. The
total value OF such exports for eleven months
ending May 81, was Sill ,045, ,697. This il
how the home market is protected in the in.
therest of the farmer. He competes with
India, Russia, Australia in the open markets
of the world. When he comes to buy hi
must buy in the "home market" and pay
from 35 to 50 per cent. on his cotton goods,
from so to 60 per cent. on earthenware, Al
per cent. on farm machinery, from 60 to 7C
per cent. on wooden goods, and so on, an
average Of 45 per cent. tax on the everyday
necessaries Of life, for the precious privi.
lege. And who is the beneficiary? Not the
farmer, by any manner of means; there is no
home market with nice little tax in his
favor on his products. Consider the distri-
button OF wealth and see what class is the
gamer and what one the loser.
In 1870, AZ per cent. of the people of this
country were engaged in agriculture; in 1880,
"A per cent; in 1885, 42 per cent, and now
less than 40 per cent. with the ratio still on
the decline. And this with our magnificent
area for agriculture, the richest soil in the
world and the best improved farm machinery.
What is the cause of this decline in agricul-
ture and of the fact that farms IN the richest
and best farming States are IN the grip of
the relentless mortgage? Evidently there is
a great injustice, big screw loose, some
where.
Can the American farmer be brought to
see that he is paying daily tribute to a
favored class and receives no reflex benefit
whatever? A class which cannot begin to
consume his products in return, and which
has no thought or care for what he does with
the surplus, or how great the sacrifice he
must make to get rid Of it at all. This gov
ernment makes the farmers the toilers and
tribute-payers, and the more manfully they
struggle under their burden the louder the
cry of the greedy favored ones to put on
more tax. And the most amazing, prepos-
ferrous thing in the universe of politics is that
these farmers will swallow the sugar coated
pills prepared for them and march to the
polls and vote to have their bonds riveted
tighter and go home to their drudgery in
blissful unconsciousness of what they are
doing. Let them take results and argue step
by step back to causes. It is the farmer who
is compelled to sacrifice himself for the al
legged general good of the country, which
means for a very small part of the country.
If the agricultural classes do not awaken to
kho Of at nd fpuf 10 lie
and continual decadence, one might almost
be moved to say they deserve their hard fate.

BMany people in moderate circum-
stances, very truly says an exchange. favor
high taxes because, as they think, the rich
have the most to pay and can stand it.
This idea is most injurious.
It does not hurt the rich to pay high taxes.
That is, the rich man may kick and grumble,
but the payment of high taxes does not de-
prive him Of any of the comforts of life.-
The wealthy can pay most any taxes and
still have their luxuries-they make no per-
sonal sacrifices, no matter what the taxes are.
How is it with the poor? They can get
along If taxes are moderate or light. But
suppose you tax them 5 per cent. higher, OF
10 per cent. then the man who paid $50 taxes
must pay $55. That extra IS he will feel
more than the rich man will feel $1O0. Whyi
Because the poor man, in order to save that
extra IS, must do without some special CON-
fort, or perhaps even some necessary of life
The lowest taxed people will have the least
burdens.

Africa to general traffic. G. P. Huntington,

control the traffic of that country. The re-
