Finally, II the American farmer is year

And II he cannot buy anything, what

TARIFF TALK.

/ notice In the ADVOCATE of July 80 an
article from the pen Of G. l.. RatlifT, crit
iclslng my series Of articles entitled
"TOrifr Talk" In said criticism, II seems
to me that Mr.. RatlliT is unfair, to say the
least, from the fact that he isolates GER
tain sentences or paragraphs from their
context, and then criticises tho disiointed
argument
] will therefore formulate few plain
propositions, in reply to his criticism.
First The tariff is mouldy old chest
nut, which was used before the war TO
divide the people, and divert their atten-
tion from the question Of slavery It has
been used since the war to divide the
people and divert their attention from
the nefarlous schemes of spolation and
robbery, which have been perpetrated
against them by infamous and corrupt
financial and class legislation ..
Second. Positive proof Of the fact that
we must look to some other cause than
the tariff for the depression of the agri-
cultural interests, is found in the fact
that the farmers Of England are denounc-
ing free trade as the cause of their ruin,
and although they have been, for many
years, enjoying the blessings Of absolute
free trade, their condition is, If anything,
more deplorable than is that of the
American farmer
Third. Trusts are not peculiar to n
country having a protective tariff, and
the first trust that was. ever formed. in

the defenders Of old and presoriptivc
wrongs, TO come 10 the rescue "HelT

thou horny handed son OF toll, or be for.
ever fallen" They are closing their
ranks and standing shoulder TO shoulder
and will make fight Of desperation; for
they realize that the battle between right
and wrong has opened in earnest and
that MI Is 10 be lost or won. They will
leave no stone unturned, no fraud or
violence unperpetmted, TO win what they
believe 10 be the battle that will make
them forever masters OF the laborlng
world for all time TO come. lntlmlda-
tion and oppression Of every kind they
will make use Of without mercy, but the
weapons on which they rely most hope
fully are false Interpretation Of the law
to be enforced by the military and police
forces and the flooding OF the land by
emigrants from Europe. Ono Of these
predatory class remarked TO his friend:
ave will open the Aoodgates Of emigra-
tion upon the west and thereby make the
competition amongst labor 30 strong that
they will cut their own throat"
"But, said his friend, "the workman
and farmer Of to-day Is wiser than In old
times, and they would rise as the French
did in 1893 and sweep us from the face OF
the earth. (Note the coincidence 1903;
today lSOO-wa.ch! '0l, '09, 03)
"No no" said the FIRST "they won't do
nothing Of that Sort they know that the
law Is in our hands and that we have the
army all the state militia and all the
governors Of all the states, besides the
police, TO enforce our Interpretation Of
the law, and the way they have seen the
law enforced in labor troubles makes
them afraid Of It,"
Now, we can easily see, they are deter
mined TO use the law (Y) as lever OF OPP
preston to terrorize the people and break
down all labor organizations. When the
plain intent Of the law does not answer
their purpose a judge Is found to In
terpret the law to suit their case. In
fact tho past teaches us that the law is
usually interpreted as against any form
of organized labor and make il Il crime of |
some sort For instance, Judge Blank OF
New York says: "If a man walks up and |
down in front Of business place, he
commits a kind of assault" and some
other legal lights have discovered that 1t
is a tlneable ofTense to call man IA rat
or scab." The main anchor Of the plum
derers is the Illegal application Of the
law which they expect to have enforced |
by the military and police forces Of tho
country. We have all seen with what
alacrity the judges have decided all cases
against labor, and how eager the police
have been to offer their valuable services
in protecting the sacred rights" Of prop
erty, and how ready the governors OF all
the states have been to hurry troops TO
any place where they would "do the most
good" in shooting down the very men
who have produced all the property that
these plunderers hold, and for no other
reason than because these men have
agreed to act together for the purpose Of
securing share of the results of their
own labor. These organized movements

ton had abandoned her protective tariff
This proves that the tariff Is not respon.
slble FOR the trust II any means could
be devised TO destroy the trust, and full,
free and fair competition could be re.
stored, such competition, In nation OF
O5,OOO,OOO people, would naturally force
prices down 20 the lowest possible cost OF
production, while the protective tariff
would insure immunity from foreign
competition.
Fourth That the tariff is not respon-
siblo for the trust is proved; 1, By the
fact that coffee, which is on the free list,
Is rieidly controlled by "a trust 2, BY
the fact that the window glass importers
have combined in Il trust, and do not at
tempt TO undersell the American glass
manufacturer. .t
Fifth. II Mr.. Ratlifl had been fairly
disposed he would not have used this
language, "And further, you propose a
scheme to raise the price OF the farmers
products wheat 40 to GO per cent per
bushel-would you not outreach the
ability Of tho laborer, instead OF furnish.
ing a home market for the farmer?" Be
cause he must have perceived that / ex-
pressly stated and proved that the price
would not raise the price to the con
sumer, but would simply give the por-
ton now absorbed by the grain specula-
tor TO the producer farmer. He had
better read the last paragraph Of my third
article again. Moreover II he had read
the following language OF mine carefully,
"But Of course all men owning wheat,
would or could not hold their wheat until
May, 80 we just take the average increase
in price per month, for twelve months,
which is 20 per cent, Qhls applied to the
sub-treasury billy and the increase caused
by the free coinage Of silver, which Is 40
per cent, making go per cent total in
crease In price, accruing TO every bushel
OF American wheat by reason OF free
coinage of silver and the sub-treasury
plan say If he had read this sentence
carefully, he would not have used the
language quoted above, and then, forget
ting himself, have said in his concluding
sentence, "Let us have free coinage Of
silver thus demanding two-thirds Of the
increase in price Of wheat, which he de.
nounces me for demanding. Besides he
seems to forget that the increased price
Of the farmers wheat would enable him
to buy 60 per cent more goods, be they
either domestic or imported.
Sixth. Leaving out Of the question
entirely all consideration OF the interests
of the industrial or manufacturing la
borer Mr. Ratlif himself furnishes the
data from which to show concluslvely
that the same financial legislation and
economic conditions that have ruined
and impoverished the American farmer,
render 1t imperatively necessary that
American industries should be protected
by duties upon imports. He says, "On
every 800 Of the proceeds Of sales of the
above trusts, the tariff, on an average,
guarantees bonus Of $50, The average
wages paid is $24, thus leaving a bonus
of SO over and above the entire wages
paid. The FiRaacter, one of the leading

up with that discussion that the
Blair Educational bill was not disposed

sibls. Mr.. ESarts will close the debate in
support Of the measure.
Senator Stanford will offer resolution

one or two per cent. per annum, retaining
the right TO call in certain proportion OF
the loan when occasion demands.

CHARLESTON, S. O., March 9.-The
trouble at Clsain University caused by the
Gaming Of the colored chaplain has assumed
serious proportions. All tie exercises of
the institution have been suspended and
the 800 colored students are said to be
packing up their baggage with the inler-
tion OF leaving. Chaplain Cardcza, the
professor who was beaten, aud Professor
Townsend, another colored professor, have
resigned. This leaves but one more col
ored member of the faculty, Prof. Bulkley.
These, with President Dunton, are paid
out of the Claflin fund, with which the
college was started. The white professors
are paid out of the State funds Prof Ds-
treville, who assaulted Osrdozs, Gays he
will hold on. and will resume his classes
as soon as the exercises of the college 90
on.
President Dunton has appealed to the
Governor, who has called a meeting of the
Board Of Trustees. 1t looks at present as
if the second biggest college in the United
States was about to close. The difficulty
arose over the religious revivals which
Cardoza had been conducting in the col
lege for over two weeks, and which Detre-
vile, professor Of mathematics, said had
interfered seriously with the work OF the
students. Detreville says that when he
made this statement at a meeting OF the
faculty Cardozi told him he didn't be-
lieye him.
