The Rev. DR.. R. S. Macarthur, pastor

! Is true that they are far more desirable

But are they not coming here to do work
which might be done by Americans?
Their work is in demand Why? Be

THE rising generation should be encour-

Manual training schools are very beneh-

In reply to the Wichita EAGLES ques-
ton. where is the benefit of "a protective
tariff to the farmers' The Champion
would reply that if it were not for the
tariff, instead Of having $34S, 0O0. 600 worth
of agricultural products imported into this
country from Europe, more than four
times that amount would be brought into
this country and American agricultural
products either driven out OF American
markets, or their price brought down TO
the level of European prices. Can the EA-
GLE see any benefit in a protective tariff in
the light of these factS2-Atchison Cham
piOn.
In the light of the immense volume Of
agricultural products imported. as shown
in the foregoing. the bulk of which
might be produced here if the produc-
ton was properly encouraged by ade-
quate protection, the EAGLE is forced 10
admit that it cannot see the boasted
benefit 10 the farmers. If the tariff rates
were high enough 10 afford any protec-
ton worth speaking of, prices of farm
products would not be as ruinously low
as they have been fer months. En-:

Just now the comparatively small re-

Just now the comparatively small re-
public of Uruguay is attracting more at
tention than any of the South American
states, particularly in a commercial
way. The year 1889 was one of marked
prosperity and progress for Uruguay. 1t
Is true that recently there have been
some troubles upon the Montevideo
Stock exchange, and during the past win
ter the ranchers have lost considerable
numbers of their sheep and cattle from
the effects or storms and foundations.
but, in spite of these things, the general
advancement Of the country has been
unchecked. No better proof Of this could
be given than the custom house statistics
for the eleven months ending November
30 last, which are the latest which have
thus far reached US. The total customs
revenues for that period was little over
$4,000, 900, being an increase of a little
less than 81, 900, 900, or % per cent. as
compared with corresponding period
Of 1888. Emigration has also been in
creasing at very rapid rate, and the
period mentioned shows that Z, 067 more
arrived in Uruguay during
those months than landed there during
the eleven months Of 1888. The census
Of the country, taken in the autumn and
thus completed, shows the population OF
the republic to be a little over $40, 900,
and about 10000 of those reside in
MOntevideO.

ASIATIC ENTERPRISE.

A letter from Shanghai to the New
York Herald gives very interesting ac-
count of the effect upon the Chinese of
| the activity manifested by the Russians
on their northern border in building rail
roads to the Pacific. 1t is stimulating
the Celestials to activity in the same
direction, and will compel them TO 20
into the work of railroad building, much
against their will, and on an extensive
scale. 1t is not so long ago that few
miles Of railroad in China were torn UP
In obedience to popular prejudice, and
the rails and rolling stock were carried
to and dumped into the Formosan chan
mel. But Russia's success with her
Monaghan subjects by means of ready
and rapid railroad communication has
compelled the Chinese authorities to
succumb and consent to rapid transit,
without which she cannot hope to hold
her own in competition with Russia,
which is plotting to GUST her wholly and
altogether out Of Corea This will COM
pei the development Of the immense coal
and iron fields of China, and other things
viii follow after. The world is moving,
and it may not be many years before the
stocks and bonds Of the railroads of
China may be quoted in the markets of
New York, London, Paris and Berlin.

THE FARMER AND The TARIFF.

From the Emporia Republican.
Robert p. Porter, superintendent of
the census, has an article in the National
Tribune showing the falsitv and absurd
ity of the cry that the tariff benefits only
the eastern manufacturers and at the eX-
pcnse of the western agriCulturists. Mr..
Porter recognizes. as everyone must
recognize, that the American farmer is
just now passing through the gloomy
valley of hard times. Prices for his
products are low; mortgages, even If
made for purchase money or improve
ment in more hopeful times, are press
ing, and it is difficult to make both ends
meet. All this Is bad enough. but il is
made worse by the constant opportunity
it affords agitatOrs and demagogues to
eXaggerate the farmers grievances and
intensity his tale of woe. Ever ready to
magnify degressions, the joyous band of
free traders who have been piCturing
this glorious country of ours spinning
into the abyss of ruin and destruction for
the last twenty years. are out with
their telescopes eagerly watching for an
enlargement Of the black spot. Ofcour,e
the agricultural depression Is all due to
the tariff. and the only remedy is the
iAiIit'tc'NC itItdI VI tSib NtctOibo
duties.
The farmer is told by these reckless
pGryeyorS of British economics that the
tariff is framed for the benefit of a few
iron, wooden, cotton, silk and chemical
barOns, and not IN the interest Of the
American farmer. They never tell the
farmer that the direct benefits he receives
from the present tariff are far in excess
of the benefits received by any other
class. They do not tell him that last
year the agricultural products imported
ON which duty was levied aggregated in
value over $3.50. 00O. 600. And vet this IS
a fact They do not tell him that our
total agricultural imports amounted to
nearly $3.50, O00. 900.
The farmer looks the situation over
carefully, and then begins TO figure out
how much of the product represented by
this vast sum of nearly $3.50, 900, 600 he
might produce at home if the tariff was
only frightened a little. The manufac-
turer looks on the other side OF the
picture, and he begins To cipher out how
much Of the S25u. 00O0 600 of manufaC-
tured goods which are annually pouring
into our ports could Just as we'll be made

The Tammany Hall organization al
ways lights on its feet. All torn up by
the exposures of the Herald, which
forced Sheriff Flack to resign, it is still
represented in the best Office in New
York by General Sickles, who is scarcely
warm in the sheriff's chair before he is
mentioned for mayor to succeed Grant,
whom Flack succeeded. Behind the
scenes and manipulating strings that
give action to these political automatons,
sits David Bennett Hill with a far-away
look cast toward the white house at
Washington. But it's no use; the great
Grover still holds the sinch on heparty's

The Baltimore Sun thinks that the vol
me of Chauncey Depew's speeches was
published in the interest Of that gentle
mans nomination for the presidency; but
it is hard to see how the publishing Of
humorous speeches could improve a
mans chances for the serious position Of
president. 1t was commonly believed by
the friends of the late Sunset Cox that
had he been less a wit in MS speeches and
writings he would have attained to
higher distinction as a statesman, if not
in official station. As well accuse Bill
Nye of touring the country for political
purposes, when everybody knows that
he would be far from taking anything
that had the remotest possibility of hav-
ing anything serious or weighty attached
to it. Humor and politics have very lit

Last Friday in Charleston, S. c., a
white jury, the foreman of which is dis
family related to Grover Cleveland,
awarded $4,000, damages to a negro
plaintiff, in a suit against the most
powerful corporation in America. In
noting the incident the Charleston
World takes occasion to hold it up con-
spiciously as evidence Of the justice felt
and manifested towards the negro by
the whites of the south. Adopting the
settlement of Ceaser's implacable enemy,
may it not have been that the jury gave
the verdict, not that they despised the
negro less, but that they hated the cor
poration more.
