That Protection has enriched the man.
ufacturing states of the east at the ex-
pense of the agricultural interests of the
west is common charge made by Free
traders. The fact is the western people
have accumulated property more rapidly
than the people of any other section in
the country. Tens of thousands of men
with a few hundred dollars each went
from the east only few years ago to
take up western land, and now own val
liable farms worth in thousands the
hundreds of the original investment.
While in the east capital has merely re-
ceived additions, the immense aggregate
wealth of the west has been literally
created in the last quarter of century.
Mortgage Indebtedness for purchase
money, stock and improvements is to be
expected among settlers who made q
start with very little or no capital. But
the mortgage oppression" of this Sec
ton is largely the creation Of the Free
traders fancy.
The following paragraph from an ex-
change undoubtedly explains much of
the mortgage oppression" about which
Free-traders everywhere are just now so
solicitous:
"a significant feature in the outcome
of the farm mortgage business in west
ern Kansas is the fact that a large por-
ton Of the foreclosures this year are on
unoccupied lands, bought up and mort
gagged for what they would bring by
spectators. The eastern investor was
anxious to secure investments that prom
ised high rate Of interest, and the west
ern mortgage sharp was dishonest enough
to supply the demand, regardless Of the
value Of the property or the security Of
the principal Of the loan"
Yet the foreclosures of such mortgages,
which have resulted in the robbery Of
eastern capitalists by western mortgage
sharps, are held up as examples of how
Protection is running western farmers

According to Mr.. Giffen the value of
lands in the United Kingdom decreased
1871 per cent. during the ten years from
1875 to 1885. But the values of houses
increased 35.7 per cent, of railways 42
per cent, of movables 81 per cent, and
the amount of foreign investments 26a
per cent. Protection certainly cannot
be charged with, this reduction in land
values accompanied by a rise in other
kinds of property,

''l5ut let us inquire what the pending
bill proposes in the interest OF the farm
ers of this country engaged in the bust
ness of raising sheep, and in turning out
annually millions of dollars worth of
wool and mutton. This bill proposes to
undo the great wrong done to the Amer
lean farmer in the matter of duties on
wool by the act of March 3, 1888, and to
virtually re-enact the wholesome pro-
Visions or what will be their equivalent
in effect, and correcting certain irregu-
larities relating to combing and carpet
woods of the former much more bene-
fetal act of March 2, 1867, under which
this industry revived and f1ourished for
some sixteen years. That such legisla-
ton will revive the waning sheep indus
try of this country, and increase the
price of wool to the American farmer,
all familiar with the subject will readily
agree Nor will the effect of this be to
increase the price of the manufactured
article of wooden goods, but by stimu-
lating and building up a great diversity
of manufacturing interests will have
precisely the opposite effect, as the his
tory of Protective tariffs will prove
since the commencement of our govern
ment."
SENATOR MORRILL,.
The charge made that American farm
ers are hugely in debt, or more SO than
in any other country, is a gross calumny,
and the farmers will treat with contempt
the crocodile tears of pity shed in their
behalf by revenue reformers who peddle
out such defamatory tales.
Austria is heavily loaded with farm
mortgages, and these are increasing, it
is said, on account Of the successful COM
petition of American grain growers in
European markets.
Switzerland is reported to have from
half to two-thirds of the assessed value
of its property covered by mortgage.
Germany has stout Protective tariff,
including farming products, and there
land has been raising in value: but in
the city Of Cologne go to IS per cent of
the property is mortgaged, and in Ham
burg over so per cent. of grounded estate
is mortgaged.
In Scotland mortgages have been in
creasing, and land has generally shrunk-
en- in value from so to SO per cent. Ire
land is covered with mortgages, and
large portions Of the land which once
furnished subsistence for o considerable
portion of its population are now aban-
doned to pasturage. In England the
opinion of those competent to judge is
that one-half to two thirds of the lands
under cultivation are heavily mortgaged.
Lord Salisbury has said more than
once that the condition Of the farmers
in Great Britain is "deplorable," while

This country has but one-twentieth of
the worlds population, but it consumes
% per cent. of the worlds crop of sugar,
80 per cent. Of the worlds production of
coffee, nearly one-third of the worlds
production OF iron, about third of the
worlds steel and copper, more than a
quarter of the worlds cotton and wool,
third of the india rubber of the world,
and more than half Of the worlds supply
of tin and 40 per cent. of all the coal
from the worlds mines. The reason
that this country consumes so much is
that it has the wherewithal to pay for
it, and the reason it has the wherewithal
is because it has protected and diversified
its industries,

The class of agricult-
u'al laborers of this
country are never able
to do more than make
both ends meet, and have
to look forward, in time
of illness or on the APP
proach of old age, to the
work house as the one
inevitable refuge against
starvation. Children are
stunted in their growth
and dulled in their intel
lects for want of proper
nourishment and proper
food. The houses Of the
poor are so scanty and
so inefficient that the
most horrible ilnmorali-
ty prevails, which sell
dom comes to the sur
face, but which is known
Ito all those who move
.among the poor, while
the ordinary conditions
of life among the large
proportion of the popu-
lation are such that com
mon decency is absolute
Ily impossible, and all
this goes on in sight of
the mansions of the rich.
Private charity of all
forms and religious or
CARNATIONS can do moth
| ling to remedy the evils
which are so deep set in
our social system.

From a symposium in The Voice of
Sept. 10 we take the following on Pro
lection, by Edward H. Ammidown:
The object of Protection is to develop
and diversity our industries, and there
by not only to provide occupation for
every variety Of talent, but home mar
ket for every product which the bound
less natural resources Of the country can
supply. The greater she diversity of our
industries and the larger their output
the more beneficial they are to our peO-
pie of all classes and the lower the cost
of production. The irresistible law of
competition will level down prices to
consumers to the lowest scale at which
any product can be afforded with the
same average profits that attend other
pursuits.
Protective legislation looks to the en-
ployment of labor at rates fitting the
dignity of American citizenship. 1t
looks to the creation and maintenance
of home market for the products of
the soil, free from charges for long
transportation and from the uncertain
ties of distant markets.
The census and the national bureau Of
statistics prove that it has accomplished
these purposes; that the people have
been employed at liberal wages, and the
products of the soil have been provided
with home market. Notwithstanding
the vast area of our farms and the num-
bers employed on them, which are at
least double those engaged in any other
form of industry, our agricultural prod
ucts are substantially consumed at home,
at prices which are on the average for
the whole country higher than are re-
ceived by the farmers of any other part
of the world.
This result is secured by the develop
ment of American industries under Pro
lection.

ly one-third of the whole
people dwell in homes OF
only one room, and more
than two-thirds Of the
people of Scotland dwell
in homes of not more
than two rooms.
We find poverty and

homes of one room, to
us who have several
rooms and all the COM
forts of life? 1t means
more than l can describe
and more than l will at

as need begets need, so

get poverty and misery:
And SO in all our great
towns, and not a little in
our small towns, there
is misery and helpless
ness, much as l have de-
scribed. In fact, look
ing at the past, to me it
is a melancholy thing to
look at. There is much
lof it which excites in me
not establishment only,
but horror. The fact is,

There are few classes

ly wretched as the En-

.ers. They are in many
respects so miserably
poor that if they were

the interest Of their own
ers to feed them far bet
ter than they are at pres
ent. Throughout large
agricultural districts not
a single agricultural la
borer will be found who
