Popular Ignorance.

Statesman: There are few topics
about which people know as little
as Tariff taxation; or at all events
about which SO palpable errors are
earnestly repeated. Many see in
the system nothing more than a
means of raising money for govern
ment use; others regard it in the
light of an advantage which it gives
them within certain markets; while
great number discover the injury
which the whole country suffers
from a system that hedges every
enterprise about with vexatious
interference. Aside from the fact
that its sole purpose is to secure
small number, from competition and
certain classes, and those a very
thus enable them to form trusts and
increase the prices of their articles
to the people, it paralyzes all the
forces of production and of distribu-
ton. 1t is singular fact that in
this world of ours, as wealth and
the good things of life increase, the
number of poor who share them
not, increase still more rapidly.
There is enough for all, but some
mischance has prevented its proper
distribution; and for one, we do not
believe this want of Justice is due
to the laws of God but that it is
due to the laws of man. And chief
among those mischievous laws of
man, which robs the laborer of his
share in the wealth he produces, is
this system of taxation, miscalled
Protection. 1t cramps trade, it pre-
vents cheap production, and above
all, by this interference it clogs the
channels through which wealth is
distributed, and the result is, that
while wealth accumulates, men sde-
lay"
Among the advocates of this sys
tenn, every superficial illustration,
is brought into use to mislead others
as well as themselves. If people
ask to be protected from travelling
nuisances in the shape of peddlers,

some, look upon it as a com

goods are now made containing
only from so down to 10 per cent. Of
new wool, and some without the
first ounce. An Ohio manufacturer
is sending ont his circulars stating
that he has this year increased his
product of shoddy more than a
million pounds. This will help
make up the short wool clip in that
State. 1t is the only way left for
our mills to compete with the for
eign. They must in some way find
an offset for the handicap under
which they start in the contest with
foreign mills. Give them the
same chance their competitors have
at good wool, and they will increase

1-O.N lAAG LAO ~ H
Two weeks ago we took occasion
in this column, to speak of the re-
cent Gubernatorial contest in this
State, and the result of the legisla-
tive committees work in the matter.
Since then our Republican exchanges
have hurled anathcmas enough at
the heads of the Democratic MEM
bers of the committee and the party
at largo to have driven the whole
organization out of the world for
very shame atthe dastardly outrage
perpetrated on the honest people of
West Virginia. These unwarranted
charges have not been confined to
the press of this State, but papers
outside have been moro unreasona-
Bile, if possible, than our own. We
have observed that the more OBJ
scure the paper, the less knowledge
its editor has of the committee and
the facts as shown by the evidence
before it, and the farther removed
from the scenes of the conflict, the
louder and more Incorporating
come the charges of theft and
atrocious fraud, in the matter.
From this observation, together
with our personal knowledge of the
members of the committee, we do
not hesitate to brand these charges
as grossly slanderous and extremely
unjust in every particular. We do
not believe that Gen. Golf made an
effort to steal the State, but we do
believe, and everything points to
the substantiation of the opinion,
that effort was made by some of his
friends to elect him by any means
whatever. The committee is com
posed of conscientious men without
a single exception, and the report
will be the result of honest investi-
CATION of the matter according to
the evidence. Every vote in the
State that was known to be illegal,
and many that were supposed to be,
was contested by the party injured
by it. The charges against each
vote were substantiated by testi-
mony given under oath. From this
it will be seen how silly and sense
less is all the scare attempted by the
other party in charging the theft
of the Governorship to either the
Democratic party or the legislative
committee. AS party the Demo-
Gratis had nothing to do with it, and
the information before the COM
ane the report is open for in
spection by the public. Imagine
Chairman Kee, whose devotion to
his convictions was amply illustrat-
I'D during the late session of
the Legislature, prostituting that de-
Votion for partisan feeIingsI Imag-
me any member disregarding the
proofs before him and in the face of
certain exposure and,disgrace, fol-
lowing his own desires as to the re-
suit. AS we have intimated, the
more ignorant an editor is in the
tho more virulent and un-
Just his charges are, with the posi-
BILE exception of a few who are so
blinded by prejudices that they
would not admit the truth if they
were convinced of it. We want
very much to see this kind of thing
ended. 1t is extremely disgusting
to all fair-minded people, and is
custom practiced by papers in both
parties on every possible occasion.
What good to any party such pal
pablo lying does, We arc unable to
see.

Whether Mr.. Campbell succeeds
in his race for Governor of Ohio or
not, he deserves the thanks of every
Democrat in the United States for
the brave and brilliant fight he is
making for home rule and tariff re-
form. In no state of the Union has
the hateful Republican spirit of CEN
tralizatiOn been SO successfully
manifest as in Ohio. A united Dem
ocracy is following the Butler Mascot
and many thousands of Republicans
arc waveriug in their party allie

that they will vote this year with

Down with the War Tariff

If Hon. Roger Q. Mills is safe
political prophet the Republicans in
the next Congress will not have
things their own way by a good
deal. In a recent interview he
said.
1--WE do not propose that the Re-
publican party shall pass a single
measure without our consent. For
instance, you may depend upon it
that the rules of the House will not
be changed by the Republican ma
jority insany. essential feature. We
do not propose to permit them TO be
changed, -as is desired by Mr.. Reed
and others, in any particular fea-
ture, nor will we permit of the pro
posed Legislation looking to con-
troll by Congress of the elections,
for we see very plainly what the
prospect of that is. The same can
be said of contest cases that will
come up before Congress. We do
not propose to let the Republican
majority be increased by the crowd
ing out of Democratic members, as
seems to be the purpose. In other
words, We propose to exercise con-
troll of the House just as much
as though we were still in the
majority, because we know our
minority is strong enough to make
us the virtual rulers"
