The Des Moines Qowa) Leader pre-
sents the following questions and an
swers on the tariff question for the
benefit of those who plead ignorance
of the subject:
What is a tariff f?
A tariff is tax levied on foreign
goods when imported to this country.
Who pays the tax -?
The importer pays it.
Does he lose anything in conse-
quence ?
He does not. Because he adds the
amount of the tax to the cost, and
then with a reasonable profit ON both
he sells to someone else.
Does anyone lose anything by the
transaction
The consumer loses all that is added
on account OF the tariff.
Who is benefited by this tax?
The government is benefited to the
amount OF this tariff, less the cost of
collection.
Is anyone else benefited ?
Manufacturers or producers of the
same goods in this country benefited
by it.
How so?
They are enabled to sell their goods
correspondingly higher and still COM
pete with the importer in price.
Who is the loser in that case ?
The consumer. Tho same as in the
other case.
What is the distinction between a
revenue tariff and a protective tariff ?
The same tariff may be both reve-
nue. and protective; revenue, with
reference TO the home production of
the same kind. Tariff on such goods
as we cannot produce is always "for
revenue only"
Does protective tariff enable a
manufacturer to pay higher wages for
his labor?
1t enables, but docs not compel him
to do so.
What does he do in that case
He hires his labor as cheap as he
can.
Why so?
Because it is in accordance with
human nature and business principles.
How does the politician get into
Office on a protective platform
He tells the manufacturer that
since the protective tariff is for his
own special benefit, he must furnish
81 100000 campaign fund.
And what does the manufacturer
do?
Believe him and reluctantly fur.
nishes the money.
What doef the politician then do? ?
He goes to the people and tells them
that protection is for their own special
benefit, and that the country is going
to be ruined with British free trade
if they don't all vote for him.

Tho Home Harket" Humbug.
Commoner.


OF all the humbugs that have per-
sistently buzzed about the ears of the
American voter the worst is that one
whose song has been OF the great
"home market" To-day, after n
whole generation of protection and
unparalleled growth of manufacturers,
the farmer has fewer people in the
United States to feed, in proportion to
the crops he produces, than he had in
1850. Or, to put it in another way,
after the mill-owners have fooled him
for forty years in pretending to give
him a home-market and make him
Independent of foreigners the Ameri-
can farmer is now, under high protec-
ton, more dependent than ever upon
foreign market and is forced to find
sale abroad for larger proportion of
what he produces than he was in 1850,
under very low tariff, termed by
protectiOnists " free trade"
The "home-market" tune has
found trusty listeners, even though
the aggregate number of those en-
gagged in manufacturing is so small
and, with the improvements OF ma
chinery, so constantly growing smaller
in comparison with the population
it supplies with goods, that, even il
we prohibited foreign imports and
our manufacturers supplied all the
goods we use (they now supply nearly
81 per cent. Of them), the greatest
possible number Of workingmen they
could employ would not materially
lessen the present necessity Of a for
eign market for our agricultural pro.
ducts; while any idea that the proxim-
ity of manufacturing centers helps
even the farmers dwelling near by, is
negatived by the universal experience
most conclusively SO in the States
of Connecticut, New Jersey and New
York, where the greatest depression
in agricultural interests has steadily
progressed at the same rate as the
most extraordinary development and
prosperity of manufacturing com.
munities.
In the face of experience and reason
there must be some extraordinary
cause for the persistent vigor of this
humbug. That cause appears to be
this: That though the claim that
protection secures the farmer home
market is utterly untrue, it has never
theless been urged, by those who are
on the one hand pecuniarily interested
in keeping it afloat and on the Other
are themselves so situated as to bt
easily and actually led to believe the
falsehoods thus kept in circulation
In other words, protected manufac
turers, imagining themselves the most
important portion of our people and
knowing what a good thing it is tc
have the rest of our citizens compelled
to buy of them under penalty Of
heavy fines, in the shape OF higl
tariff protective duties, not unnatur
ally take it for granted that what ii
good for them must be good for every
body else.

A dispatch from San Francisco says !:
The Pacific Lumber Company, it is
stated, has purchased the patent right
for the Coast of the Robertson ocean
timber RATS. The sum of $500,O
has already been subscribed, and at .
meeting few days ago it was resolved
to incorporate and begin the construc.
ton of RATS as soon practicable. The
advantages which will accrue to this
company through this project are
many. There are hundreds of settlers
owning large timber tracts ON the
Columbia river and Puget Sound who
will be enabled to market their ma
terial by simply floating their logs
and delivering them at the mills
which will probably be erected by the
company at convenient Joints in the
vicinity, after which the timber will
float down the Coast in one enormous
raft TO this point.

A Model Fair.

Quite a number of our townsmen
attended the Mexico Fair last
week, and they are unanimous in
pronouncing it the best fair they
ever attended, except the st. Louis
Fair. The premiums were liberal
throughout, competition was spir-
tied, the attendance immense each
day, and the order perfect. No
liquors of any kind were sold on
the grounds, and gambling devices
of all kinds were excluded. In
shsrt, it was a model fair through
out, and splendid financial sue.
cess. This not only demonstrates
that the Mexico Fair is under the
best of management, bu, it demon
strates further that country fail
can be made first-class success
without liquor booths and one
sided gambling devices. The fail
association that illegally licenses
gambling devices OF all kinds, tt
rob the unsophisticated, ought not
to be patronized by respectable
people.

In order to obtain the best re-
cults all around, the pigs should
be taught to eat 40 early in life as
possible. In some cases this will
be when they are about two weeks
of age. The time of teaching them
to cat will vary. The size of the
litter in some cases and in others
the amount of milk given by the
dam will govern it. Teaching them
TO eat is best accomplished by plsc-
ing q small trough out of reach of
the dam and supplying it with
warm. sweet Skinned milk and
soaked corn. When the pigs get TO
