Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1891-10-16

While the people Of Wisconsin are
taking rest from politics this year,
n very holly contested campaign is in
progress over in our noighborng state
of Iowa. Governor, lieutenant govern
or, n supreme Judge, superintendent Of
public instruction, railroad commits
sioner and Legislative and county
officers are to be elected. The tariff
question is cutting II great figure in the
discussion of issues upon the stump and
through the press; and the democrats are
hopeful that as the question Of federal
taxation is now better understood than
ever before, SO will the democratic
vote show u gain greater than any of
their remarkable gains of recent years.
The practical working of the sugar
schedule of the Mckinley law has
proved concluslvely the truth of the
democratic claim, that the tariff Is II
tax; and this object lesson will not be
without its good results. The repub-
lican editors and campaigners having
in times past very toolishly and loudly
controverted the truth of this little,
simple self evident proposition, the
logic of events has put them to con
fusion. Out of their own mouths are
they condemned, and all the world un-
derstands it, The tariff having been
a tax on sugar, the conclusion is ire
sistible that ii Is also n tax upon the
thousands of other articles upon which
1t has been placed at eXorbitantly high
figures. If democrats will stick to
the tariff, and practically to the tariff
alone, until that is settled, they will
meet with success not only in Iowa
this year, but also in the presidential
and congressional campaign of 1892.
Many of the Republican party leaders
would like to substitute some other
question for the tariff, but they should
not be allowed TO do it. The people
are becoming posted upon the subject
of federal taxation; and it Is therefore
very important that the campaign
of education be constantly kept ur
until the whole folly of restraining
trade by unnecessary burdens is fully
exposed.

ENGLAND's OLD CLOTHES.


our so-CaIIed "American System" of Pre-
lection TX an old English idea Now Dig
cnrded.
There never was n greater misuse Of
name than TO call protection the
american system" The fact is, as
every intelligent man knows, that
England followed this system long be-
fore II was ever introduced into the
United States and abandoned it only
forty or fifty years ago.
A. y. Farquhar, the great free trade
manufactures Of agricultural machinery
at York, Pa, has called attention to
this matter in the following words:
"Fiftcen thousand men starved to
death in the West India islands near
our coast, for want of food that our
citizens were anxious to sell them but
could not deliver on account of the GUS
tom houses and 1t was at this period
that Lord Sheffield opposed in tho En-
glish parliament IN appropriation for
putting down the pirates of the Medi-
tcrrancan, upon the ground that they
injured American commerce more than
they did British; and certain counties
In the neighborhood of London petit
toned parliament against the extension
of the turnpike roads in the more dis
tant counties, on the ground that this
would enable other producers to com
pete in the markets Of London, leaving
them less profit.
But the world has grown since then.
Newspapers, steam and electricity
have united the nations of the earth in
n common brotherhood of mutual in
tcrosts; but who can read tho petition
of these English countrymcn and not
be reminded that the American
system of protection Is the same thing
that was prevalent In Britain over u
century ago, and that the garments we
are asked TO strut about in are nothing
but her cnst-or old clothes. How few
the changes necessary TO fit this pcti-
ton into haranguc by James G. Blaine,
or New York Tribune editorial And

The Democrats gained very great
victory in the indianapolis municipal
election on Tuesday, re-electing the
mayor by an increased majority, and
also securing the police judge, city
clerk, and six aldermen at large, giving
them full control Of the common coun-
Gil. The ballot was was cast under
the Australian system and an exep-
tlonally large vote was polled, aggre-
eating about $4,000.

The Chicago Journal wants young
men, before they vote the democratic
ticket, TO consider, "in the levity Of
their youthful minds, certain allega-
lions as TO the financial measures Of
Buchanan's administration and tariff
reduction measures Of former times,
Although the allegations are without
foundations in fact, 1t Is not necessary
to refutc them; because the young
men Of today are not generally dis
posed to govern their present political
action by the issues Of the past 1t Is
plainly the duty of the young men OF
America to vote the Democratic ticket
in order to secure for our glorious coun-
try the blessings Of greater CONNER
cial freedom. And the young man who
would turn back into the pages Of un-
reliable ancient history as furnished
by the high tariff editors, in order to
avoid the present condition and cir
cumstances which point irresstibly TO
this conclusion had better not vote ut
all. The proper thing for him to do is
TO go off by himself and take Rip
Van Wrinkle sleep until after the next
presidential election, when the great
battle of tariff reform will be fought
and won.
