A Negroes Advice.

Charles II. J. Taylor, of Atlanta,
Ga, is colored man who was Minis
ter to Liberia under Cleveland, and
therefore it may be assumed that he is
not an ardent Republican and is not as
distasteful TO the Southern whites as
other negroes. He has written an
open letter "to the Governor, the law
makers, and to the great body of good
white citizens of Georgia. in which
he endeavors to show how race war
may be prevented. The letter is long,
but its central thought is that if the
whites will show kindly interest in
the blacks, will suppress those who
outrage the blacks, will do what they
can to guide the negroes into paths
of industry, education, and good NOR
ais, the negroes will become
source of strength to the South, will
become divided politically and will not
seek TO rule or become mischievous
tools in the hands of ambitious politi-
clans. All that is needed, he declares.
any desire for political supremacy or
social equality is sincere purpose on
the part of the whites to give them
security in person and property and
the right and means of education.
This, of course, is what has been
urged on the whites of the South again
and again, but so far with little effect.
The rash presumption that 10000, 900
of blacks can be kept in ignorance and
submission without finally leading to
widespread revolt and unspeakable
horrors, is still held in the South. But
already there are indications that the
senseless and brutal shootings and
whippings of negroes may lead to re-
prisals. The further these outrages
are pushed, the greater danger that
the negroes will be forced to defend
themselves instead of becoming more
submissive. OF all conceivable hor-
rors, race war is the worst. 1t can
be prevented if the whites will use
sense and justice instead of the shot
gun and the whip. 1t can be pre-
vented on no other terms.-MiliCGukee

The Growth Of Protection Abroad.

A great change in public sentiment
on the tariff question has been taking
place in many European nations. A
few years ago free trade was the ac-
cepted policy of the greater part of
Europe. 1t was so generally adopted
that protection was called, by distinn-
ton, the American system.
Times change and men change with
them. The folly of free trade and the
wisdom of protection are being recog-
nized in many parts of Europe. The
United States minister to Holland in q
recent report to the State Department
sends copy of an editorial in the organ
of the conservative party at the Hague.
1t suggests very plainly that return
to protection in Holland is not i'm
probable. It calls attention to the
changed feeling on this subject in
many parts of Europe. and notes that
the free-traders are advocating their
doctrine very feebly now, in the face
of the satisfactory results which come
from protection. Several nations that
formerly tried free trade are now
adopting protection, and are greatly
pleased at the change.

stands immovably against the assaults
OF foreign interests.-Chicago Inter
Ocean,


Gen. Weaver, Iowa's Ishmael, in
directly and unintentionally did tho
country good service in the last Con-
gress. BY his obstinate course, taking
technical advantage of the rules which
govern the House, he succeeded In
checking progress In legislation for
weeks together, and thus ultimately
disappointing the hopes of the country.
"How was such a course even in
directly beneficial?" In this respect
BY his selfish and unpatriotic insist
ence on his rights under the rules,
superinducing paralysis in legislation,
Gen. Weaver called the attention of an
outraged people to the fact that the
House had made to itself rules which
place the presumably ruling majority
in that body completely at the mercy
of merciless minority. 1t compelled
the public for future self-protection to
insist through the press that the rules
which make possible the negative die
tatorship of q Weaver should be SO
changed as TO enable the responsible
majority in the House to rule In fact
as in theory.
The first duty of the lower house of
the Fifty-frst Congress is TO so change
its rules as to reduce the minority to
its proper mission in legislation, name
ly: appeals to reason, the develop
ment of such facts and lines of argu-
ment as a majority incline to suppress,
and the formation of cases for protest
and appeals to the country. Such a
reduction of the power and duty of the
minority carries along with it the
restoration in that body of the essen
tial principle of the republec-m majority
rule. The party held responsible for
what is done and for what is not done,
be it Republican or Democratic, should
have the power to do, as well as leave
undone. But, under present rules,
our leaders in legislation, instead of
addressing themselves to the reason Of
their colleagues, instead of addressing
the country as the great ones long
gone by" were won't TO do, are driven
to the humiliating alternative of fail
ure TO satisfy the expectation of the
country or surrender to the selfish de-
mands of an INSCRIPTIONS minority.
The present rules result in a COM
plete subversion of the will of the ma
Jorlty. Iney 40 not give the minority
power to do more than subvert. They
paralyze legislation. They put a
premium on Weaverism, ave want a
change" We want the rules changed,
not because the Republicans are the
"ins." We would with equal force
urge change were the Democrats in q
majority, not only because it is right
that the majority should rule, but also
because it is expedient that the ma
jority should be rigidly held RESPONSE
bic for all legislation aud for all fail
ures to legislate.
The rules once changed, then the
party in power can with some heart
enter upon the actual Legislative work
of the season.-Ceddr Rapids (IotCa)

They Favor the American System.

The platform of the Iowa Republi-
cans favors the American system of
protection and demands that farm
products shall share its benefits equal
" with the products of other indus
tries. Mr.. Richman, temporary chair
man Of the Iowa Democratic Conven-
ton, referring in his opening address
to the tariff plank of the Republican
platform, said;
"Why, every schoolboy knows that
the American farmer meets no compe
tition in the American market, and
that consequently to talk of protecting
him against foreign competition here is
sheer absurdity. You might as well
talk of protecting the Chinaman
against his competitors of foreign tea
In the Chicago market, or the Green
lander against the competition of for
eign ice in the Greenland market.
The whole thing is stuff and nonsense.
And, what is more, the gentlemen who
assembled in Des Moines month ago,
to frame this tariff utterance, knew it
20 be stuff and nonsense. Their object
was simply to hoodwink the farmer"
The facts and figures given to the
public in the reports of the Bureau of
Statistics of the Treasury Department
furnish ample REPUTATION of Mr.. Rich
mans statement, and also show which
party is trying to hoodwink the farmer.
From recent issues of that bureau we
learn that during the year ending June
30, 1889, there were imported into this
country the following articles entering
directly into competition with Ameri-
can farm products:
Breadstuffs valued at................s 5000, 724
Wool (unmanufacturedl. .............. 1Igl4 5l5
Vegetables potatoes, beans, etc. ..... 2,269,799
Domestic animals dutiablel. ......... 3,g36,766
Hides free of duty; 25,l2L750
Flax (hemp and other substitutes).... 2O,i6s,475
Flaxseed.. 3,S3l,6oo
Tobacco (unmanufactured). ........... 1855, 226
Meats and dairy products............. l,I4,39l
Eggs (free) 2,4ls,V6
The importation of dutiable articles
of food and live animals last year
amounted to $119,S17, 9S7. and about
an equal amount of the same articles
we're admitted free of duty. So it will
be seen that even the moderate protec-
tion afforded by the tariff is not suf-
icient to give American farmers the
exclusive control of their own markets.
But the principal benefit derived by
the farmers from the American policy
of protection is in the building up of
diversified industries, giving employ
ment TO vast army of toilers in facto-
ries and mines at liberal wages, there
by creating here the best market in the
world for the products of the soil.
And the American farmers are too well
informed on this subject to he hood
winked by the sophistries of the free
traders. In fact, they constitute the
bdlk of the party of protection that
