PROTECTION PROTECTS.

The sophistry of the Democratic
doctrine of tariff reform is made ap-
parent by an attempt to make it ap-
pear that the duty adds that amount
to the price of the article to the con-
sumer. This is not true only in those
cases in which the product cannot be
raised in sufficient quantity to supply
the local demand. For instance, not
nearly enough sugar is grown in the
United States for consumption, ard
the imported commodity being taxed
enhances the price. Several attempts
have been made to cultivate beet
sugar, but the efforts have proved
unsuccessful and the foreign article
has to be purchased as matter OF
necessity. Therefore the tax has to
be paid by our own citizens, and is
only beneficial to one or two southern
states in which sugar cane is grown.
But this is not true of wool, wheat,
oats, potatoes and other vegetables,
and articles of manufacturing indus
try. The duty on wool simply keeps
the cheap product OF Australia and
South America out Of the market, and
permits our fockmasters to engage in
the industry in every portion of the
country without necessarily increa:-
ing the price of the manufactured
fabric Our facilities for wooi-raising
are such that, If the cheap foreign
product is kept out of the market we
can not only produce sufficient for
our own factories. but have large
surplus for export. The duty on
wheat Is about 20 cents bushel, but
this in no manner adds to the price of
bread stuffs. 1t simply acts as a pro-
lection to our farmers, and keeps the
wheat of Manitoba from lowering the
price of the local product. The same
is true of the duty on all vegetables
IN this prolific county. Regarding
articles we have two or
,Aree notable examples. The duty on
ali oes we believe is 6 cents G yard,

The removal OF Capt. Priestly, agent
at the S mcoe Indian reservation, is
causing comment by some Of our
Democratic contemporaries. While no
one dlsparages Mr.. Priestly's record as
soldier: yet his appointment was
contrary to the language of the ma
tional platform upon which Mr.
Cleveland was elected, which expressly
stated that officials in the territories
should Ge residents, and Capt. Priestly
was citizen of Wisconsin. There
were any number of Democratic resi-.
dents of Washington, who could have
tiled the position of Indian agent at
Simcoe, and by so doing the president
would not have violated any of his
pledges to the country. AS it was it
could not be expected that President
Harrison would keep in Office one who
was not citizen of the territory and
not identified with its growth and de-
velopment, when there are many of
his partizans, old citizens, who were
perfectly competent for the position.

4PPREHENSIONS ABROAD.

The European press are very much
alarmed at the formation Of "United
America and have grave fears of the
consequences While foreigners have a
market for their surplus fabrics they
| care little for this continent or its in
habitants bu. when they see an effort
| at consolidation the alarm is sounded
and the fearful results depicted. The
leading papers of France, Spain and
Austria-Hungary. have all PUBLISH d
editorials against the unIiaction Of the
American countries, and in terms
plain and concise state the reasons of
their complaints. The Vienna Frem-
dea6laH voices the real cause Of the
antagonism IN the following article:
The United States government has
invited al the governments of the
new world to take part in congress,
to be held in Washington under the
watchword Of United America, and
especially America united against Eu-
rope. uniform weights, measures and
coinage are to be introduced, and a
court of arbitration appointed to set
tie disputes between the American
states. The encroachment of the Eu
ropean states III connection with
American affairs is to be jointly OPP
posed, and, most important of all,
uniform tariff rates and customs duties
are to he established. If those ports
should be closed to US by tariff rates
as high as that of the United States, a
large part of our workmen and still
larger part of the German, French and
English laboring men would be In dam
ger of loosing their employment. 1t
would be serious loss to Europe if
the politicians Of Washington should
succeed in uniting the whole American
continent, mott single free t rrl-
tory, but IN territory surrounded by
customs barriers.
A straight Democratic policy would
remedy this evil by opening our ports
to the products of these poor foreign
ers, and by this means furnish employ |
ment to their mechanics and laborer.
But if the American policy sf protec-
tion is pursued by the other countries
on the western continent they must
look elsewhere for a market for their
fabrics. and cannot expect their looms
to be kept running by consumers on
this size of the Atlantic. There is
every indication that the political
contest in the United States is anx-
ously watched by the economists of
Europe, as upon the result depends the
ssue of free-trade or protection. and
his is of as much concern to them as an
American confederation. The ques.
ion resolves itself into one Of pure
and its solution is easy to
my one who takes an interest in The
,rowth and prosperity of the country.
f our workmen desire to help these
oreigners by opposing the federation
cbeme and working for their wages,
hey should support Democracy and
ree-trade; but if they believe in pro-
Getting their homes and families, the

Chicago is ag;tating the question of

claims that it can be enforced as easily
as it is in Cincinnati and other cities;
