Gov. MCKINLEY is growing owlish
since his recent election. At Boston
the other night he said: "a protective
tariff cheapens. products; revenue
tariff cheapens men," Within three
days after this solemn utterance a great
industry at Boston closed its doors on
account of McKinIey's protective tariff,
and several hundred men were thrown
upon the labor market to "cheapen
men."-Kansas City Star.

The Massillon Independent inter-
views whole column and half of
people in Massillon, on the things they
have to be thankful for on Thanksgiv--

was thankful because Mckinley failed
to keep his promise to appoint soldier

thankful because Russell 81 Co. made a

the roof of their big shop was saying in

In its two sessions the Fifty-frst
Congress authorized the expenditure Of
more than $300,00000O in excess of the
public revenues. Every dollar of this
money was taken from the wage earners
and producers of the country by unjust
taxation. This accounts, largely, for
the increased number of business fail
ares. Just think of $30O,OO000O of un-
necessary robbery in only two years.

THE great Republican victory that
was loudly proclaimed in Nebraska, in
all the Associated Press dispatches, has
pretty much petered out. With no
Democratic ticket in the field and Re-
publican plurality of only $500 in a
total vote of 10000, the Republicans
have no assurance, on these figures, of
carrying Nebraska in 1892. In fact,
Nebraska looks like our mutton.

EARLY IN THE FIELD.
tFrom the Mansfield Shield !

1t seems to be understood that Judge
Albaugh will not be candidate for
circuit Judge next year and, as the nom.
ination will belong to the eastern por-
tion of the district, the friends of Hon.
j. f. Wilkin, of Tuscarawas county,
are urging his claims and thus far there
appears to be no other candidate in the
field. Mr.. Wilkin is we'll known to the
Richland county bar and has many
friends here who will be glad to see
him succeed. Although staunch
Democrat, Mr.. Wilkins fitness for cir
cult judge is testified to by the Repub-
lican papers of his county.

WE can now state with confidence
that the Legislature of New York is
Democratic in both branches. This is
fact.of vital moment. This means a
new apportionment of the State for
members Of the Legislature, and 1t
means new apportionment for men,

THE latest from New York is, the
Democrats will have both branches of
the legislature. They have the House
by 65 TO 63, and the Senate by 16 to 10.
The infamous appOrtionment of New
York State, made so for partisan pur-
poses, is well illustrated in the last
where the Democrats have
$4,000 majority on the popular vote and
only secure the legislature by ascratch.

In Lee township, Carroll county,
where the Republican committeeman
is accused of putting the money into a
rat hole, there was Democratic gain

are nearly three thousand precincts in
Ohio and If there had been 5000 rat
holes like the one in Lee township,
Gov. Campbell might have been about

SECRETARY BLAINE prefers Foraker

for many years has been an uncompro-

should be the nominee for president
next year he is willing to have anyone
for running mate except Mckinley.
This objection is not personal, but solely
on account of McKinley's monopoly

The Basis Of Fres Trade.

Free trade is based essentially on the
idea, expressed or implied. that in trad
ing with other nations we can cheat
them in the trade-that in exchanging
with foreigners we can secure an adj
vantage over them, that in return for
the products of one days work of ours
we can get the product of day aud
half of theirs.
This is delusive hope. With free
dom of trade, equalization would soon
take place. All the wealth we can have
Is what we produce, or its equivalent.
In obtaining the equivalent let us obtain
it of our own people. Thus, to the ex-
tent that we are consumers of the things
they make, we shall give them employ
ment; and, in return, to the extent that
they are consumers of the things we
make will they give us employment,
thereby insuring an equilibrium in our
industries, developing at home skillful
artisans in every branch of industry and
dotting the country over with manu-
featuring establishments.
Free trade would Danish those estab-
lishments and would exchange skilled
mechanics for cheap doorknobs or cheap
cutlery. 1t would reject the knowledge
of useful arts in order to save for the
moment a few cents yard on wooden
cloth or cotton ties or a few cents
pound on tin plates. Protection secures
the arts and protects the artists 1t
transforms ignorance into knowledge,
Indifference into zeal, inertia into activi-
ty, impotence into power.
Free trade is based essentially on the
idea of landed aristocracy-~on the idea
that the land Of the country is the prop
erty, not of independent farmers owning
and working their own land but Of allo-
dial lords owning practically the COM
munity in which they live. 1t has its
foundation in that form Of social devel-
opment of which slavery was type,
which takes no thought of the man who
works with his hands. It implies that,
as in Europe, there shall eventually be
in this country no proprietary farms,
but that few great prOprietors who
disdain work shall monopolize the land.
1t implies that when few barons shall
hold in large tracts the land of the coun-
try they, as lords of the soil, can ordain
that what they call "their" country shall
forever remain in the primitive occupa-
ton of agriculture
These baronial owners can say to all
corners: ave own all this land; this
country is ours; you can SGdFNe unleSS
you accept work on our terms. We do
not wish you have variety of occupa-
tions. We do not wish you to aspire.
What have you to do with aspiration?
We can buy all the manufactured goods
we want from the cheap labor of Europe
or Asia. If you open stores or set up
workshops you must compete with the
cheapness of Europe and the squalor of
the Hndoos and Chinese; you are en-
titled to no protection as against them.
They have as good right to sell their
wares here as you have" But in the
same breath the landed proprietor will
add, "Of course you people are expected
to shoulder your guns and with your
lives defend and protect US and our
property in case those same Europeans
or Chinese invade the country and en-
danger our ownership of this property

Charge it to the Mckinley bill.
Price OF Binding Irvine.
A correspondent writes as follows:

Binding Irvine is lower than ever be-
fore: Fl he Mckinley bill reduced the
duty on 1t. The argument used In the
case of the reduction in the case of
sugar does not hold here. Please ex-
plain"
1t seems to us that the reduction in
the price of binding Irvine can be ex-
planned by the reasoning applicable to
the case of sugar We produce sugar in
this country in the same sense that we
produce binding Irvine. The raw ma
terials for both-fibers and raw sugar
were dutiable under the old law, al
though in each case only part of our
consumption of the raw material was
grown at home. The duties on them
constituted, therefore, revenue tariff.
The Mckinley bill abolished these
revenue duties, which are always taxes,
on the raw material and reduced the
duty on the finished products, refined
sugar and binding Irvine, thus reducing
the price to the consumers. For remem-
Der that refined sugar still bears a duty
just as binding Irvine does. The reduc-
tions in the duties on fbers will be in
Dictated by the following table:

These fibers are largely used in the
manufacture of the Irvine, and the re-
moval of the duty on them should oper-
ate just as making raw sugar free has
operated. AS matter of fact nearly all

in price since the passage of the BILL

most solid In favor OF an income tax.
The free-siIver demand is advocated by

the Democracy champions what is called
free trade. These are all the actual
fighting provisions in the Cincinnati
declaration of principles, and on all of
them the Democracy and the Peoples
party occupy practically the same
ground. The free trade, free silver and
income tax notions will be engrafted in
the Democratic national platform of
1892 If the question of the mainten-
ance of the national banking system
comes upin Congress the majority of the
Democrats will be found against the
banks. The sub-treasury and land cur
rency planks of the Peoples platform
are not referred to here because the
Democracy has not had an opportunity
yet to declare itself formally on these
issues
AS there Is substantial harmony be-
tween the Peoples party and the DEM
ocracy on almost every issue of practical
politics, what is the use of creating any
Peoples party at all? The Democracy
aims ut the same ends, and has the ex-
perience, ability, and prestige to gain
them If they can be gained. Moreover,
it has discipline and conerency which
the Peoples party can never reasonably
hope to attain. The expenditure of
energy which the latter will have to
make to render it's influence effective In
any State or county would bring better
results if it was made within Democratic
lines. Nine out of every ten of the men
who were conspicuous at Cincinnati have
acted with the Democracy recently, II
not always. All of them are Democrats at
heart. What, then, do the leaders of the
new party seek to accomplish? Their
aim is to unite all the disaffected ele-
ments in the country, and with the show
of strength thus made to inveigle suf-
fcient number of Republican farmers
over to them with the agricultural prod
uct warehouse and land currency bats
to give few of the Western States to
the Democrats. This is the game which
the PETERS, the Donnellys, and the Simp-
sons are playing. The South knows the
dodge, and while the agitators of that
section support it the voters will stick
to the Democratic ticket. Republicans
of the farming communities will not be
deluded with such devices as these into
any of the traps which their enemies are
setting for them. -Gtobe- Democrat
