Make IL More Explicit,

OF what profit is it to the Iowa
farmers to have such big crops IL the
price which they will receive il only
halt, or but little more, Of what they
received last year? The corn crop
and the number of hogs may be great,
but as the price for hogs Is now but
"a. 20 against &6. 90 this time last year,
OF what avail Is the big crop? The
sooner the farmer gets q move on
himself and votes for Democratic
tariff reform, the sooner will he get
big prices as well as big crops.-Du-
bnque Herald.
We have favored tariff reform and
do still, not because it will increase
the price Of what the farmer has to
sell, but because it will diminish the
price Of what he has to buy. What
the farmers OF the country need and
must have, is better prices for what
they have to sell. The tariff-tax that
they pay on what they buy Is about
one third the cost Of their purchases.
We realize the relief this would be,
but it is not what the farmer needs to
save him from ruin and bankruptcy.
II our democratic contemporary would
aid in saving him this tax, and also
assist him in obtaining about so pei
cent more for his farm products, that
would do him infinite good. The
only road to this result is a large in
crease in the currency Of the country,
To deduct Al per cent even from
their store accounts would not make
farmers prosperous. But il this tariff
reduction could be brought about
and at the same time an advance In
the price of what they sell Of 50 pei
cent could be made through an in
crease of currency it would bring re
lief.

REPEATING THE STORY.

The ., of Aug. 1883, the PLAIN DEAL
n editorially presented q series Of
CoNUNDRUMs FOR JEALOUS PRoTEc-
TIONIsTs,
which We find being repeated in the
Democratic press of the State. We
repeat the article and desire to call
the attention of our readers particu-
larry to its closing paragraphs. They
account for the milk in the coconut.
The article entire Was as follows.
The tariff for sugar under the pres
emit tariff law is nearly 80 per cent.
The Mills bill reduces it about IA per
cent. An examination of official ia
bles shows that from 1S49 to 1851, un-
der comparatively free trade, the
home production averaged 248, 451
hogsheads annually, and from 1875 to
1887, under the present tariff, the an
nual average was only 1e1, 1904 hogs
heads-an annual falling on Of 1867
40 while the home con.
sumption had more than trebled.
Will some protectionist who knows
please explain.
Again, we find that in 1877 the
price of wheat in the Chicago market
was $1.27t, but in 1887 it is only 0O1c.
In the same market; we find also that
the cropof 1887 is 20 per cent. less
than that Of 1877, while during the
same ten years the demand has in
creased more than 20 per cent. Now,
will some protectionist who under
stands tell us why there is q decline
In the price Of nearly 81 per cent.
when the product had declined 20
per cent and the demand has increas.
ed q like per cent.
Again, we learn from reliable stats.
tics that the average price OF farm
lands has declined, while farm mort.
cages, running to parties in the
states where the protected industries
exist, have increased in O ratio fully
equal to the decline in the price OF
farln lands. Now, will some protec-
ZIONIST who knows the cause of this
latter fact, please explain through
the PLAIN DEALERy
In 1857, the export Of few millions
Of gold, the basis Of q robber system
Of finance, caused terrible panic in
business, with business failures every.
where. The high tariff men attrib-
uted it to the revenue tariff law
which had just gone into effect.
In 1873, financial failures and bust
ness panics which were cyclones
compared with that OF 1857, swept
over the country, and yet in 1878 the
country had the only panacea the
TeQublicans offer to ward of hard
times and create prosperity, viz: q
high and protective tariff. Now,
what was the trouble in 1873! Why,
simply that the republican party
had denonetized one-half OF the cur
Fency of the country, and had sent
nearly one thousand millions OF nlon-
ey out OF the country by fire and fag-
OF. Transforming the legal tenders in
to interest bearing bonds.
At one time, as the result of this fl
nancial policy of the republican par
~, nearly three million men were
transformed from laborers to traMps.
Besides the vicious habits engender-
I'd by life of idleness, the loss to
the country from three million idle
men at one dollar per day il over
800, OOO, 900 per year; in the ten years
6nce the adoption of the policy,
more than an equivalent Of all the
gold in use in the civilized world.

DANGER AHEAD.

The Boston Heyuld sounds the
note of alarm, and sees in the growth
Of wealth and the immense power of
corporations the same force at work
here that brought ruin to ancient
Rome. The arrogance of the rich
and subseryienCy Of the law makers
are the chief sources Of danger.
Our cultured contemporary says
"To the superficial student it might
seem that the downfall of the Roman
Republic was due to the hereditary pa
trican class; but ~ both law and Gus
tom made it impossible for the latter to
engage i'll business pursuits, their inilu-
enCe, 50 far as wealth was concerned,
was but slight compared with the men
Of common birth who represented what
in our day would be called the great fl
nanCiers, spectators and manufacture
ers. These We're the men who, individ-
ually and collectively, furnished the
sineWs Of war for carrying on the varl-
Gus political instructions; they were
the ones who brlbed the people at cleo
ton times to vote for the candidates
who would do rs they were told; their
interests, as the orations Of Cicero prove,
were chiefly considered in the carrying
on of distant campaigns or in the seec-
ton Of commanding generals. 1t was
into their hands that the agricultural
districts of Italy gradually passed; and
after they had crushed public spirit and
debauched the political morals Of the
people, it became easy for them to wei
come and support a strong man, who,
while pretending to serve republican
traditions, should be in reality an ire
spOnsible autOCrat."

RIGHTS.

The rights of one man become OPP
pressive when they interfere with the
inherent rights of the meanest of hui
manity. Rights are born with us, not
granted to us, and even as no man can
give them, SO it is impossible for any
man to take them away. They may be
crushed, they may be chained, they
may not be recognized, as in the case of
the slave, but they are there. The eyi-
dence of the existence of the rights of
man is the existence Of man himself
Neither can man grant privileges. Priv
ileges do not exist except as they are
the result of oppression. If one man
enjoys a privilege which another does
not, he does SO at the cost of the other =
rights. Privilege is built upon the psur-
patton of rights, The privileges of mo-
nopolies exist at the expense Of labor;
opportunities are lessened and wages are
reduced 20 bare sustenanCe. The work
man is simply the machine used to grind
ont. wealth, out of which sufficient is
given back to him to keep body and
soul together. G,

Semi ANNUAL Report of the City Conn
mittee of the New York Sections.
With the end of last month, the first
half yearly term Of the City Committee
has expired. 1t is therefore proper that
a brief account of it's work be laid be
fore the members of the party.
After the Sections of the City of New
York had, in the summer of 1883,
drafted, discussed and by general vote
adopted a plan of organization which
provided for City Committee, the lat
ter was elected in September, and, at
its first meeting on September, Both,

officers. There were present all legiti-

seven delegates from the German Sec

1888, INSTRUCTED the City Committee, by
virtue of the organization pIan to act as
an Executive Committee during the
campaign Of 1888, with power to add 10

the Party.
All members of our Party surely re-
member the restless actively during the
campaign movement of 1888, which
proved beyond doubt that there still
exists within the Party some zeal, disci-
pine. perseverance and readiness to sac
rifice, besides the numerous meetings
in all parts Of the city, the reading of
campaign literature and private agita-
ton, all of which was performed by the
comrades voluntarily and without COM
pensatiOn. There was raised in New
York City alone the sum of $500 of a
total of S112, which was contributed
in a comparatively short period for
election purposes. The assistance on the
part of the members of the Party in the
State of New York and in the country at
large. and their contributions towards
the expenses of the campaign are like
wise to I've gratefully acknowledged.
On the part Of the City, all Sections and
members of the Party in New York
State Were furnished with ballots and
campaign literature. The total ex-
penses of the campaign amounted to
