cumstances."
Mr.. Blaine dencminates his little re-
ciprocity scheme "a policy Of circum-
stances" That is to say, he would have
wise and fatherly Government given
the power to let down the tariff bars
here and there Whenever circumstances
appeared to warrant such q concession.
These circumstances would depend
largely upon the interests that asked
such concessions.
If q Democrat wanted a little free
trade somewhere he would be refused.
If an honest Republican wanted to
reach the markets Of the world and
failed to understand the significance Of
Mr.. Blainos wink or Of Mr., Quay s smile,
he, too would be refused But If q
Steve Elkins or q B. f. Jones or some
other Republican for revenue only
wanted some reciprocity and would con-
tribute largely to tho Republican cam
paign fund or let Blaine and the others
in on the ground door, the "circum.
stances" would be favorable and down
would come tho stone wall.
That Is tho sweet boon that dema-
goguo agent OF The tariff monopolists Is
trying to pass of upon the people in lieu
OF tariff reform, IL will not work. Chi.

WANTS MORE FORCE.
Congressman Lodges Latest Plea in Be-
half of His Bill.

Congressman Lodges argument to
prove that there is no force in the
fraud and force bill excels any thing
Of the sort on record. He goes into
figures to show that the voters of the
United States could not be coerced un-
der his proposed statute, because there
are not regular soldiers enough in the
country to furnish Il sufficient detail to
overawe electors at every polling place.
But what's the matter, Mr. Lodge,
with enlisting an extra hundred thou
sand men or so, to make sure that no
vote be cast except at the point CT the
bayonet? Such plan would suit the
imperialists mighty we'll, 1t would
mean more money to be spent, moro
positions to be filled, more fat contracts
to be given ont and a shorter and
qnickcr road for the universal domina-
ton Of the Man on Horseback.
1t would not be oven necessary to in
crease the regular army,but only to pro-
vide for the employment and uniform
of deputy marshals at the sweet will of
Davenport & Co. That would DO q glori-
Gus plan, from the Lodge point Of view,
and pretty sure, as the imperialist lead
ers look at things, to enable them to
hire men enough to elect anybody any
whorc.
A curious feature about this argument
of Lodge Is his cool assumption that
soldiers would be needed vt every vot-
ing place at once, Our Democratic i'm.
agination has taken no such flight. We
have assumed that troops would be
only sent to close districts, whore the
Federal power would be needed to in
sure Republican Congressional ma.
jority But Mr.. Lodges partisan fancy
scars far higher He evidently wants
TO have House of Representatives
unanimously Republican, and every
man Jack Of them elected at the point
of tho bayonet N Y, Star.

New York Dry Goods Economist says:
"No better illustration of tho absolute

NILS AND M'KINLEY.
Fact, With the Republican ors""'
GrinI IerS Should Not Forget

Grin lerS Should Not Forget
Republican journalists should take
few lessons from the exemplars OF plan
tation manners in the South. Inc
treatment, for instance, of Mr.. Mills oy
the average journalist of the North IS
discredit not to Mr. Mills but to North
ern journalism. Take, for instance the
following paragraph from a reputaDle
Brooklyn paper:
'The wanderings Of Mr.. Mills OF IeSaS On
The stump preaching what he Is pled'cu "
term tariff reform and paying 1hrllllhs ulOuvT ~,
to Columbia while he dcnounces lhe loroe O'li
ore. if considered from the humorous stahu'
point, funny But he is very serious in"n
There is reason to believe that he OeLleNe' III
himself a great deal, and has not talth Ihdt tno
country can get along without HIM. MI. Ml,lo
must have something large concealed IN Ihe
back parlor of his mind"
The Democratic party has nothing 10
be ashamed of in having chosen MT,
Mills as chairman of the ways ana
means committee. The measure which
he introduced and the methods by
which that bill was advocated, eX-
plained and defended suffer at no point
in comparison with the record made by
the Republicans in dealing with the
same subject under the direction OF Mr.
Mckinley, of Ohio.
The Mills bill united the Democratic
party. The Mckinley bill divided the
Republican party.
The Mills bill reduced taxation; the
Mckinley bill increases taxation.
The Mills bill was drawn in behalf OF
the masses; the Mckinley bill is bill
for the exclusive benefit of classes
The Mills bill put binding twine and
cotton ties upon the free list; the Nc
Kinley bill taxes both of these.
The Mills bill struck at the very prin-
ciple of trusts and combinations; the
Mckinley bill fosters trusts and Subsl-
dies rings.
The Mills bill embodies the principles
of liberty of action, liberty of exchange,
and accords with the spirit of modern
life. The Mckinley bill is reminis-
cence of the Middle Ages and embodies
all Of the absurd restrictions and false
economic doctrines of the colonial sys-
TENS of European Governments two,
three or four hundred years ago
The people believe in Mills and in
the Mills bill. in his speeches in Con-
gress and in his addresses throughout
the country, Mr.. Mills has shown him
self to te master of his subject; earn
est, aggressive, but courteous and
thoroughly sincere.
Mr.. Mckinley palters in a double
sense; his speeches lack force, distinct
ness and fairness. In dealing with his
subject there is a narrownesS Of view
a bigotry, a blindness that carries him,
his measures and his party to defeat.
The Republican press can no longer
deceive the people in this respect They
have tried to make a great man of Mr.
Mckinley and to belittle the character
ard attainments Of Mr.. Mills, But it is
beyond the power of the press to make
great men. They come to the bar Of
public opinion to be judged and wher
so arraigned the Democrats may we'll be
satisfied with their champion.-Louis.

A "HOME MARKET"
A Case Illustrating the Fallacy of the Home
Market Idea.

A Case Illustrating the Fallacy of the Home
Market Idea.
The census returns of the State OF
Connecticut offer very interesting
commentary on "home market ideas OF
the protectionists.
That "home market" idoa is. thus
stated in the organ Of the Protective
Tariff Leage:
In every village surrounded by farms
there should be located manufacturing es.
adjustments Of some kind that will give
employment to operatives The wants OF
these people will create demand fer food,
clothing and shelter, and the product of the
farm and factory Will be ever In demand.
Nothing will be wasted in transportation,
an 4 labor will reap the entire harvest
According to that notion State with
one or more factories in every village
ought to be particularly prosperous in
its agricultural interests AS Connecti-
cut is State whose manufacturing in
dustries are highly diversified and in
which a mill of some kind is found in
close proximity to every farming COM
munity, the State ought to furnish the
potectionist with shining example of
his homo market idea The farming
population there ought to be very pros
porous, and consequently growing in
numbers.
But what are the facts? The farming
communities nearest the cities Of Con-
noctcut are shown by tho recent GEN.
sus to have lost about ten per cent Of
their population in tho past ten years.
This result is arrived at by taking tho
three townships lying nearest each Of
the twelve cities In tho State.
SO great decline in population In
these farming districts right at the
doors of the factories does not look very
encouraging for protectionists Their
homo market theory breaks down when
tested by experience

Sharp County record., 1890-09-25

Our exports Of these two article TO thai
country for the two months are as fol-
lows: June, 1850, corn, sol, ,O5s bushels;
wheat, 1856. 4s6 bushels. June 1890,
corn, 81, AL bushels; wheat 2A,OOO
bushels.
The value OF these exports fell from
S5O7, 12S in June, 1889, to the pitiful sum
of $50, S7j in June, 1890. That is how
"McKinleyism" narrows the foreign
market for our breadstutfs.
In the face Of fact like this what is
the uso for Mckinley to try to humbug
the farmer by raising the duty on wheat
from twenty cents bushel to twenty
five cents and on corn from ten cents
to fifteen?
OF these two articles we imported dur
ing the fiscal year ended June 80, just
Sl13,2 ,2l1 worth from all countries In
attempting to shut out that trihe Nc
Kinley has injured our foreign market
for wheat and corn more than four times
as much for a single month and for a
single country.
To put the matter in still moro
striking light, for every dollars worth
of corn and wheat that he prevents from
coming into this country from all other
countries hecuts off sixty dollars worth
from the farmers foreign market in
single country.
And such is the qualitS of "McKin-
leyism'
But it is not France alone that is pay
ing US back our "McKinleyism" sixty
fold. Canada takes hand in the busi-
ness, too, and has gotten her mills of re-
taliation a-grinding Among other re-
taliatory duties which McKinle.- has
given Canada cause to impose is the
duty of three cents pound on our
lard. We exported to British North
America" for the fiscal year 1889 lard to
the amount of IA, 14S 900 pounds; for the
year 1890 the export was 5,4S5, 900
pounds.
As the result Of Canada's duty on lard
our farmers are shut out from that mar
ket. 1t is reported that N. X. Fair
banks & Co.. the extensive pork pack
ers of Chicago, have leased premises in
Montreal and W Il 60 into the lard busi-
ness there. The report states that they
could not sell their American lard in
Canada owing to the three-cent duty.
OF course Canadian farmers will furnish
the hogs for this Montreal establish
ment.
This example shows not only how
"McKinleyism" narrows the market for
our farm products but also howit drives
American capital out of the country
Was it in view Of fact like this that
Mckinley said: "This bill is framed in
the interest of the people of the United
States?'
Let the farmers keep an eye on "Mc-
