itself to a fallaey. Mr.. Mills will
tell you and 50 will my friend,
Brother Singerly Of the Philadel-
phia Record, that the tariff II tar
added to the cost Of the goods which
the consumer has to Ray. Now such
II not the case. Let me explain,
Now, you have In your hand an UNI
brellz. The free trader will argue,
say, that the article 10 worth sf.5O.
or this he will put the cost Of pro.
duction at fifty cents and the tax at
81. Then he will assume that IL he
can have the tax removed he will
get the umbrella for fifty cents"
And why won't he" quoth |.
because, said Mr.. wanamakeF,
''the cost Of commodities IL regula-
ted by the law Of supply and de-
mand. Now, IL you take the tariff
tax of the umbrella, what follows?
Simply this: No one could afford 10
make umbrellas in this country.
Hence, IL would neeessitate the clos
ing down Of every industrial pur-
suit in that line. still the demand
for umbrellas would not decrease
because no one in the United States
under free trade could make them.
The demand would he the same.
the supply, however, on this side of
the water being cut of, the foreign
manufacturer IL given increased de
mAnd, and so long a. the demand
existed he would keep up the price
In other words, 10 there was absolute
free trade We could hardly manu-
facturer anything Mt sill in this
country. simply would We turn
over to the foreign manufacturer
the market Of the United States, aud
with no competitor, and a demand
existing, he would regulate the
price To suit himself. Indeed, free
trade under such conditions, aud
they are not theories, might increase
rather than decrease the price Of
commodities. But even worse"
said he; under free trade the price
OF labor would not only be reduced
In this country, but there would be
no employment for ID. My practical
experience IL that the foreign mark
ct can successfully compete with our
market, because Of the disparity of
wages paid. The tariff assures to
the man who labOrs not only fair
remuneration for his toll, but like
wise assures him labor. For IL free
trade should prevail, we would In
the United States become a mere
nation Of consumers, and the manu-
featuring industries at work would
he compelled To shut down perfOrce.
This would entail idleness to those
now employed or drive our artisans
out Of the country TO earn living.
With his view nf the situation
hsfnra mo and I'm hehaIf of the
geneTsl consideration Of mankind, I
earnestly labOred and hoped for
General HarrisOn's election.

THE hill introduced by Senator

ment and compensation OF Q COM
missioner from Kansas to the
Paris Exposition seems to have been
introduced by request. Probably II
was At the request Of some person
who desires to make q trip to Europe
at the expense Of the state. In ISIS
Kansas was accredited with two
commissioners but only one the
writer made his appearance 1T the
Exposition. He reported to the
Commissioner General, who frankly
informed him that there was nothing
to dO-thAt there were more COM
mIssiOners than duties. The Kan
sas commissioner paid his own eX-
penses, aud received no compensa-
ton whatever. There had been no
provision made for a Kansas display
at the Exposition, and no spproprI-
alton with which to make display.
If the bill now pending in the Leg
islature makes provision for funds
with which to make q state ex-
hibit al the exposition, it is just and
proper that n commissioner should

stated. otherwise there IL no use for

honorary appointment who draws
no pay. Even then il would be .
