| ave q distinct recollection Of the same
very wise and prophetic remark having been
made by the same disting ,ishsd editorial
prodigy concerning the clerk Of the court
shortly before the las. election AMI it re-
joices the PIONEER to say that on October l,
last, when this act .: bovine suici le was to
take place. there were just $50 feet Of rope
that held up 279 true and honest voters
who hung up the clerk Of the court for an-
other yea: in his Office.
We regret that we cannot be as conpli-
mentaiy to the Free Lance as its editor
was to the Pioneer lately. We like to call
things by their right names and hence W
call attention to that "thing"-that 'what

taking up so much space lately in quoting
from that eminent and holy politician, our
accidental postmaster and the editor o! the

What IL tho Tax For?


The Republican papers are experience
ing considerable satisfaction over what
they are pleased to call the success Of
protection in Germany, as a proof Of
which they point to the activity of the
iron trade in that empire.
The main reason for this activity, it is
true, is to be found in the orders for iron
proceeding from the government itself,
q circumstance which somehow usually
escapes the notice of our protectionist
friends, as does also the fact that Inn
ports of iron have likewise largely in
creased lately.
Then the duty or pig iron is only $2.10
a ton, while in this country it is $8.72.
When it was proposed to knock off the
odd cents and make the rate IS by way
of avoiding the trouble of making
change, the authors of the proposition
were stigmatized as "free traders" which
is the most opprobrious epithet in the
protectionist vocabulary. How a self
respecting ~protectionist can applaud any
nation for charging a beggarly duty Of
g. 10 atom on pig iron is hard to under
stand.
But then it is equally hard to under
stand why our American protectionists
should applaud Germany for imposing
any protective duty at all. When they
are asked what the duty we impose on
iron is for, they say it is for the benefit
of the American workingman, to keep
his wages from falling to the level of the
w~orkingmen of free trade England.
This being the object of protection, as
the Pennsylvania iron manufactures
frankly admits in those bursts of gener-
GUS confidence for which he is noted
whenever anything is to be got by them,
it is not apparent what Germany wants
with it. Wages are far lower there than
in Great Britain, where her chief COM
petition lies, and probably as low as any
country in the world producing iron for
export. On the American theory of pro-
lection, therefore, she needs none, and
our American p~rotecaonists should not
waste their admiration Oh A,r policy

The Duty ON Potatoes.

Mr.. John w. Woodside, of Philadel-
phia, appeared before the committee Of
ways and means during the tariff hear
ings. He thought the duty ON potatoes
should be raised from Is cents to Is
cents per bushel. Fifteen cents a bushel
for potatoes means 40 per cent. ad va
loren, so that Is cents a bushel would
mean 66a per cent. ad valorem. With
potatoes there is always either a feast or
. famine. When the crop in this coun-
try is a good one no potatoes are i'm
ported. On the other hand, when the
crop is a total or q partial failure, as 90
casionally happens, prices are sufficiently
high to be remunerative at home without
any duty to enhance them. Potatoes
= largely used by the poorer classes.
Dear food for such persons" seems to
be q favorite motto with the high tariff
party.

Canada and Dakota's Curse.
The Fargo Argus copies the letter from
Ex-Gov. Mcdonald, Of Ontario, to Squire
Stewart, Of 3ottineau, published q few
