..south African Progress.

Our Consul at Cape Town, South
Africa, sends to the State Department
at Washington report on what he calls
South African Progress" Among
other things he calls attention to the
great growth of imports into the coun-
try. These imports amounted in 1883
to E5, As. 900; but in 1889 to e., e42. 600
But the Consul is manifestly behind
the times He has clearly not yet heard
of the doctrine which has come into
vogue since he left the United States
the new doctrine called '.Mckinleyism"
that imports are an injury to coun-
try and that the only way to have pros
perity is to reduce importation
Mr.. Blaine's Department of State
prints the Consul's report and sends ii
abroad into the country.
Is It not clearly party mistake to al
low an unknown Consul under the pres
ent administration to teach doctrine
SO contrary to McKinleyIsm?
Is it judicious to disseminate the ide,
that the more foreign goods a countr,
buys the more progress there is in tia
country? Is this Consul an ''assistan

The number OF Democratic votes cast
at the election of 1883 fo- these nine ex-
PEELED congressman is LA, 574. The
choice of these IA, 900 voters was reversed
by the arbitrary action of about eight
score partisans of Republican fraud and
force, sitting in the Chamber of Repre-
sentatives at Washington. One hun
dred and sixty-six men have deprived
nearly as many thousands Of American
citizens of their right to be represented
by the Congressman they elected.
If the reckless majority now strength
ened by this initial infamy should pro-
coed to expel every Democrat in the
Fifty-first House and to seat in his
place the defeated Republican candi-
date. no matter by how great plural
ity he was defeated. the outrage would
differ only in magnitude and not at all
in character from that which has al
ready been committed.
Several of tho expelled Congressman
have been -enominated in their re-
spective districts. All nine of them
should be renominated and re-ele cted
in November by majorities impressive

H.re.v in the home Market.

The secretary OF the famous protec-
ZIONIST club of Boston, known as the
Home Market Club. has made bad
break, showing how Blaine's reciprocity
plan has thrown the hide-bound protec-
tionists of their balance
This Home Market Club exists in
order to teach our farmers that protec-
ton is a good thing for them because il
builds ND home market for them in
which to sell their products; and to
teach the manufacturers that a home
market is a good thing for them too.
OF course it is, There can be no doubt
about 1t, Protection has insured them
big profits in this home market; do
they need any teaching to make them
believe that such market IS a coed
thing?
But the secretary of this club has
made a singular confession He has
written to q paper-a free trade paper
at that-to explain the attitude OF his
club on Blaine's reciprocity scheme In
his letter he says: Il favor, and 50 do
members of this club SO far as kknow,

tracing nations and in the production
OF which each has . natural advantage

SMALL MIlIERS SUFFER.

An Example Of How the Tariff Protects tho
strong and oppre~ses the Weak
A good example of how the tariff Is
constructed to help the strong rather
than the weak, the rich rather than the
poor. is seen in the drawback amend
ment which was put into the Tariff bill
upon the motion of Senator Sherman
A drawback is simply a refunded duty.
When any dutisble material is brought
into the country it pays. Of course. the
legal duty. but if this material is used
in the manufacture of some article. and
this article is then sold abroad. the
Government refunds 90 per cent OF the
duty. .
Mckinley made a change in his Tariff
bill to the effect that the drawback
shall be 90 per cent OF the original
duty and took great credit to his COM
mittee for that action He said: We
give to the capital and labor of this
country substantially free trade in all
foreign materials for use in the markets
of the world"
But the Senate adopted the Sherman
amendment that no drawback should
be paid unless the amount is SO or
more This will of course shut out =
large number Of cases where drawback
is now paid. cases where small orders
are filled and drawback is allowed on
the bag, tin cans or other covering OF
the goods ordered.
The Millers' National Association has
issued Q circular showing how unjustly
this will work in the milling industrys
The circular says:

THREE HONEST MEN.

Paddock, Plumb and Pettigrew. the He
roes OF the Republican Party.
Senators Paddock, Pettigrew and
Plumb deserve the applause of their
constituents and of the people of the
West generally for their votes against
the Mckinley bill.
Placed as they were in an atmosphere
Of monopoly and surrounded by the
agents of the protected combines, they
had every reason to ''go with their
party" and to forget the people. but
they resisted the threats of party
whippers-in and the Establishments Of
fat-fryers and plurdererS In doing
right they abandoned their party and
advertised themselves to the trusts as
Republicans who are not to be depended
upon to further every villainy devised
for the oppression of the people The
enemies they have made will not forget
them. The people whom they have
served should have equally long mem
cries.
The Herald considers this Western
Republican bolt against the monopoly
tariff as one of the most hopeful signs
of the times, and it regards it as mos,
honorable thing for Republicanism
Henceforth no one shall say truthfully
that no Republican dare lift his voice
against these evils Three honest and
brave men from the West have no
failed to 60 on record against the spolia
ton of the people.
ALI honor, then, to Plumb, Petit
grew and Paddock. They have de
serted their misguided party at tim'
when to oppose it is glorious The.
| have preserved it also from sweeping
| and indiscriminate condemnation Al
organization that is not wholly givel
over to plumber and pillage may yet re
deem itself.-Chicago Herald.

"BRING HANDOUTS OF LILIES.
Mercer was prepared, as far as his
limited force admitted, for the attack
of the enemy, with the courage of a
man who was ready to die at his post,
mingled with scorn of the pusillanirnity
which rendered the loss of an important
position almost certain, and for which
the English Generals Loudoun and Alb
ercrombie earned the lasting contempt
of the colonists. if not of their own
troops, while history accuses them of
imbecility and cowardice.
1t was Renwick's whim to announce
the arrival of the little feet at Oswego
by the discharge of one of the captured
cannon, to the surprise of Mercer, who
did not know that these achievements
were possessed of artillery. Jabe had
placed these in position on q raft, and
