Substitute for Steel.

An odd cargo of African vegetable
fibre, tough as steel itself, is being
landed at Hanover street wharf from
the Italian bark Nuova Monde. The

Oran, and Algerian seaport in the
Mediterranean Sea. The fibre has
been found to be so elastic that it can
be used as substitute for springs and

Lying Will Come Out.

According to the protectionist or
gans, the moment the Mckinley bill
became law, the tin factories begun
to hum. Every Republican editor
got tin medal, and every convention
was tin-plated. That lasted for a
while, but when the clamor began to
subside still small voice was heard
saying:
1--WE can't make tin, because we
have not got the skilled workmen.
We have imported the plates
and the tin, and had some boys dip
sheets enough to cut up into medals
for our advocates, but if you expect
us to do more, you must let us get the
men who know how TO do it,"

factories that started into life, and

That country like the United
States, with so many sources of taxa
ton, should gather more than one
tenth part Of its enormous revenue
from tax OH one plain and widely
used necessary of life would seem in
credible to anyone who had not ex-
amined the items of our national in
come. Yet such is the fact, for out
of total income Of $403,000,000 for
the year 1890 the tariff on wool and
woollen manufactures brought in s43,.
100000, and the proportion for the
other years is not different.
If such a tax is outrageous for its
inequality Of burden, it is merciless
for its effects on the health and COM
fort Of the people, for, being levied
for the purpose of protection, it nec-
essarily conforms to the law of pro-
tective taxes in putting its heaviest
burdens on the common and general
ly used grades of woollen goods, and
its lightest taxes on the expensive and
luxurious woollen fabrics. Let us
understand, also, that while this tax
imperils the health of the people by
forcing them to use inferior and dis.
ease-breeding substitutes for real

Slavery of the Tariff.

The basal principle of all forms of
slavery is that there exists in Govern
ment the right to take one mans
labor and give the benefit of it to an
other. Under whatever name or
whatever form, this has been its es-
sential principle that man, as man, is
not the equal of his fellow is not
free and is not entitled to equal rights,
but that for the benefit of the COM
munity of which he forms part there
exists in the Government the power
to take from some and give to others
without direct compensation either
the whole or part of their labor. If
the whole be taken we call it slavery,
but if only part be taken, we give
it many different names, and in
America the name we give it is "pro-
tection," by which some are required
to purchase from others at prices fixed
not alone by the intrinsic value of the
goods, but in part by the provisions
of statute, the necessities of life, and
are compelled to sell, not in the mark
ct of their option, but in the market
of the law, that which is the product
of their toil.-Ex.

MKinley's Sophistry.

Candidate Mckinley, speaking in
Ohio on Saturday, was asked a num-
Der of pertinent questions by the
democratic newspapers of the locality
Among these questions was this one:
Is it not true that the duty paid on
an article imported into our country
and called tariff is tax to be paid
by the person that consumes or uses
the article?
McKinley's answer was that under
certain conditions the consumer pays
the tax. These conditions were that
so long as the article is imported and
tax is actually paid, the consumer
pays it. But when the article on
which the tariff is laid is not import
ed, then, he said, no tax being collect
ed, it cannot be said that the consum.
er pays tax. This is obviously true
so far as the technical word tax" is
concerned. However, it doesn't mat
ter to man who pays $40 more for a
coat because of a tariff whether he
give it as tariff tax" or as tribute
to manufacturer. In fact, the or
binary American citizen is patriotic
enough to prefer to pay tax rather
than to give a gratuity to manu-
facturer.
But the figurehead of McKinleyism
went a step farther in the sophistries
of his logic. He admitted that SO
long as the protected industries were
undeveloped and developing the con-
sumner paid. tax on the goods he con-
sumed. "But," said he, "when we
have reached the successful manu-.
facture of any product under pro-
tecting tariff competition at home
fixes and regulates the price and the
American consumer does not pay the
tax"
This might be true-only it isn't
theoretically it is Aawless, but practi-
cally it is full of holes, The major
says that when the consumer is done
paying the tariff tax and the protect
ed industry is fully developed "com.
petition at home fixes and regulates
the price," As a matter of fact COM
petition does not fix the price. AL.

Patronize Home Industries.

Next to the deep abiding interest
which every man has in his individ-
ual possessions is the pride and sat-
isfaction he feels in seeing his town
prosper and its people happy. Too
many men, selfish in the extreme,
are envious of their neighbours pros
perity, and hence we see many who
patronize foreign establishments for
everything they need rather than
buy at home and help their own
bot town. Many articles that are
elsewhere are no better or cheaper
than those offered by home dealers.
This shortsightedness does not per-
NIT them to see that their interests
are identified with those with whom
they are continually coming in con-
tact in the everyday affairs of life.
Now it seems to us that man in
the community in which he lives
can get anything good enough for
himself without sending away to
other places for it. Every resident
should take sufficient interest in town
in which he lives to do his trading
and thus keep the money in circula-
ton in his own community. In
short, if you want to kill town
and invite hard times to your door
import everything you can and ex-
port as little as possible. Patronize
your home business men and me-
chanics, and see what a difference it
will make. FIX.

The Net Result of Protection.

The Net Result OF protection.
Whatever producers may be sup
posed to gain through the tariff rails
ing prices they cannot but lose through
corresponding increase in the cost OF
labor, plant, materials, management
and all other OUTLAWS, and the result
of the artificial continuance is simply
nil. And yet unfortunately not
wholly nil. For the device diverts a
large amount of capital and labor
from pursuits for which we have the
best facilities to those for which we
have the worst and the net result is
a waste of productive power and a
failure to turn the national resource
into the most natural current and to
the best account. Protection is simply
an attempt to subvert and counteract
natural laws; and as such it can
never benefit the industry at large of
any country, although it may be so con-
trived as to help some interests to
the corresponding detriment of others.

One week ago last Tuesday Chi.
cago dry goods firm received direct
from Austria a consignment of pear
buttons, the first that have been i'm
ported since the iniquitous Mckinley
bill took effect. The cost of these
buttons laid down in Chicago was
81 400, but before the consignees
could remove them from the custom
house they were required to pay a
duty on them of $4,000. This seems
incredible, but as our information
was found in the news columns Of one
of Chicago's highest protective tariff
journals, without doubt it is correct
The same paper says "the duty was q
trife over 200 per cent. on the dearer
grades and on the cheaper grades GOO
per cent" Now we wish to ask any
honest advocate of protection if he
believes that the foreigner pays the
duty? Will he say that these Chi.
cago importers paid the $4,000 duty
and will not add the amount, plus the
interest on that sum, directly to the
81, 400 original cost when they sell
them? That these merchant import
ers will add the $4,000 to the first
cost and that every woman that pur-
chases card Of these buttons will
pay part of it is evident to any person
of average intelligence. Mr.. McKin-
ley and other advocates of the benef-
fcence of a high protective tariff have
in time past convinced many voters
that the imposition of tariff duties did
not increase the price of the goods,
but when the credulous voter is COM
PEELED to pay three times the usual
price for card of pearl buttons they
will quickly become skeptical and not
unbelievers.-State Democrat.

"Do you want this country flooded
with the manufactured products of
European pauper labor?" shrieked the
advocates of protection in the fall of
1888. "Do you want Americans to
compete with the peasants of the old
country Z" were the arguments used
in securing the election of Congress
that squandered $1,OOO,OOO,OOO and
enacted tariff law that has already
visited the home of every workingman
in the country and taken from his
scanty earnings to enrich gang of
the worst monopolistic plunderers that
have ever demanded tribute from the
products of labor. The bill that was
to scatter peace and plenty Ger a
smiling land" has been law for one
year and what has been the result
The Chicago Inter Ocean, a journal
that was most strenuous supporter
of the infamous Mckinley bill. says
that its reporter found girls making
pantaloons for six cents dozen, and
others working long hours for rs cents
week. Another Chicago journal
that advocates protection says that one
of its force asked pale faced girl
who worked on cloaks: "How much
do you earn, Lena !" Forty cents
in three days." she whispered, looking
nervously around at the boss. "How
long do you work ?" "From seven in
the morning until six in the evening"
This advocate Of the Mckinley bill
says two sisters, aged 16 and 10 re.
spectively, were found working in q
shop six days in week, fifteen hours
day; and was paid one dollar. Il

England is selling more goods than

wool, 1t has always signally failed to
accomplish the purpose for which it is
levied. These forty-three million
dollars are the product of fines i'm
posed by the Government, at the
dictation of the producers of home
wool, and Of the makers of home
woollens, on imported articles that
compete with their product.
BY adding these heavy fines to the
market price of the foreign article
before it is permitted to compete with
the home article they expect to in
crease the price of the latter to the
consumer, and insure by law prosper
ity for wool growing and wool manu-
featuring in this country. Yet, while
the Government has complied with
their most exorbitant demands, the
result has been just the reverse of
what they expected, proving that
there are elements that enter into the
wool question which they refuse to
consider, and which entirely upset
their calculations.
With hides on the free list we are
the best shod and, quality considered,
perhaps the most cheaply shod people
in the world, and the price of hides is
not unremunerative to the cattle
raiser.
With wool protected by all manner
of yexatious and exorbitant taxes we
are forced to clothe ourselves at all
wool prices in spurious woollen fab
RIGS. and the price Of wool is a con-
slant disappointment to the farmer.
Mr.. Wells shows that after twenty
four years of high protection intended
to stimulate the production of do.
nestle wool, we are still dependant on
outside sources for one-half the wool
required to meet the consumption of
the American people, and this defci-
ency is not alone in quality, but in
quantity. High-tariff advocates now
consider even shoddy too expensive
and good a substitute for wool, and
are resorting to cheaper materials with
less fitness and warmth to make the
bogus woolens they palm off on Amer
lean consumers, and that the larger
percentage of deaths from consump-
ton and kindred diseases in this
country as compared with free-wool
countries must in some measure be
charged to this debasement in the
quality of our so-called wooden cloth
ing.
We have heard good deal of whin-
ing over the allegation that "a cheap
coat makes cheap man." a cheap
coat, in the meaning of those who
whine, being one in which no tariff
beneficiary has been able to incorpor-
ate his private exaction.
But the coat in which Dolan & Co.
and other high-tariff members Of the
Philadelphia Manufacturers Club
have managed to incorporate ~ per
cent. of cotton and shoddy makes
sport of human life and health, and
truly makes cheap man. And that
is the coat which our high-tariff adj
vocates are compelling us to use by
excluding the genuine article from
the market or taxing it beyond oul
ability to buy.-Congressman Wilson
