TARIFF SUGGESTIONS.
TRUTHS SO PLAIN THAT THE
BLIND MAY READ.
Internal Anguish of the Golden Club
Warner Miller on the Paper Trade
Why Hon, Justin Morri IL q Protec-
tionist-Protection for the Farmer.
Prot ction for the Farm y.

There seems to be no limit to the eff
forts of free trade attorneys To prejudice
farmer voters against the policy of pro-
lection for, home industries One of the
commonly employed means to this end is
urging the farmer TO believe that our
tariff legislation is framed with the view
to discriminate In favor of manufactured
products and against the products of
agriculture. AS there is not single
clause In the law susceptible of such q
construction, none but the unwary will
be misled by the charge OF discrimina-
tion against the farmers interests,
Some idea of the extent to which farm
products are directly protected can be
gained by a glance at statistics within
reach of all who care to inspect them,
and the honest student of these figures
is quite forcibly impressed by the neces-
sity for maintaining adequate barriers
against foreign competition so long as
the home market of our farmers is men,
aced by products Of foreign rivals.
During the last fiscal year foreigners
sold in the United States over SAP, O0O,-
600 worth of farm products, without
taking into the account more than $16,-
10000 worth of wool imported
Here are the items:

Ftrst-It brings together diversified
industries which never fall to vastly in
crease the personal intelligence, indus

Second-It adds prodigiously to the
power of increasing, by machinery and
steam and water power, the necessaries
of life and OF advanced civilization, and
also greatly cheapens the cost of SUBJ
sistence.
Third-It furnishes an opportunity
for every person to find the employment
best adapted to his or her genius and ca
pacity, that wi secure the largest in

Fourth-It creates home market,
without which the cultivators of land In
America would be but little better off
than our aborigines.
Fifth-It is the bulwark of national
independence in peace or war.

Tho Weekly Bulletin Issued shows Some
Favorable Reports.
The weekly weather crop bulletin
says: Showers in the spring wheat re-
gion of Minnesota and Dakota the past
week have been light and in some local
tiles injury has resulted, but the crops
are doing fairly well. In the Missouri
valley the weather was generally favor
able for small grains, but too cold for
corn. The drought in northeast Ne
braska has been relieved. In Kansas
the crops are improved, especially
wheat. The prospects are generally
good in Iowa and Missouri. In some
sections corn Is being replanted,
owing to damage by cutworms
and small area was plowed under be-
cause of injury by the Hessian fly. In
Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana and Illi-
nois the rain was very light and badly
distributed, and the cold weather re-
tarded the growth. Michigan, Indiana
and Illinois, however, report good con-
dition and the indications are that the
pending drought will be succeeded by
general rains within forty-eight hours.
IN California the grain Is improved,
while the hay, strawberries and cherries
are damaged by the rains. The fruit
prospects in southern California are i'm
proved, but the ripening Is retarded by
the cool weather. In Oregon the
weather is favorable and the crops are
doing well.

The Discouraged Golden Club.

The English Golden Club appears to
DO getting desperate. It's members see
that the prospect of converting the
world in general and the United States
In particular to free trade for the bene-
fit of Great Britain grows darker every
year. With heroic self-denial they have
resolved to forego the grand annual
banquet Of the club and devote the
pounds, shillings, and sixpence it would
have cost to the work of forwarding the
free-trade cause in America and else
where. This is pretty good evidence
that the cause aforesaid is in dire
straits, and that its sworn supporters
are conscious of it. Tt looks. too, as if
the future supplies of cash from En-
gland to bolster up the fortunes of atariff
reform" and the Democratic party were
destined to become smaller by degrees
and beautifully less.

MThA Tin Plate Myth %

The New York Press addresses itself
to the New York Post in the following
vigorous language:
"The Eue,ljrlg Posts editorial under
the above caption was itself mythical,
because it told in imaginative story the
very important truth that there Is no
truth in free-trade paper when the
subject of tin plate in the United States
Is under discussion. The Post pretends
to have run down every announcement
Of tin plate concerns being started in
this country, only to find them myths
The fat contradiction of the Posts pre-
tense lies in the details of it's investiga-
lions, which do not involve single one
OF the following firms and corporations,
all tin pla5e manufacturers: The st.
Louis Stamping Company, United States
Iron and Tin Plate Company, Demmler,
Pa; P. Ell. Laufman & Co., Apollo. Pa. !;
Norton Brothers, Chicago, Ill; Kirkpat-
rick & Co., Pittsburg; Jennings Brothers
& Co, Pittsburg; the Falcon Iron and Nail
Company, Niles, Ohio; the Cannonsburg
Iron and Steel Company, Pittsburg; Jo-
seph Corns & Sons, Massillon, Ohio; the
Britton Rolling Mill Company, Cleveland,
Ohio, and Marshall Brothers, Philadel-
phia.
Tin plate from the works of some of
these firms is on exhibition in the Press
window and on sale in New York. We
have repeatedly given the address of the
agent. Representatives of these firms
met in Now York On April 30, and each
ono stated that his establishment was
making tin plato now or about to make
1t, whether others made tin plate or not,
and on comparison of notes it appeared
that the works in operation or about to
be operated will produce about go, 200
net tons OF tin plato and terne plate per
year.
The Press has repeatedly printed these
tndisputable facts. The Post, hunting
In back alleys for "tin plate lies, is not
able to find tin plate truths in the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, when every morning pa
per in New York told of this tin plate
gathering there. Says the Post editor in
foot note to q contemporaneous article
On the tin plate discussions:
awe also are anxious to have the con-
trovorsy settled, and for that reason are
trying to find factory. One medium
sized factory, working openly and selling
Its goods at profit, would close our
mouths"
And yet it would do nothing of the
sort. We select single name from the
list given above, that of p. H. Laufman
& Co., Apollo, Pa, and respectfully
challenge the Post to take its back-door
detectives off their undesirable jobs and
send q gentleman to buy tin plate for
roofing from the New York city agents
of Laufman &c Co., Messrs. FL r. DeMilt
g. Co., 23S Water street, New York.
If the Post, then, keeps it's word its
mouth will be closed on American tin
plato hereafter

An Object Lesson to FARMERS.

A bushel of wheat will buy two or
three times as much sugar to. day as it
did year ago. So will bushel of DO

of potatoes will buy twice as much of

There is not single item here that

our tariff required foreign competitors
to pay for the privilege of selling here.
They were accordingly charged the snug
sum of fourteen and half million dol
lars, and to that extent they were forced
to tighten the taxes that otherwise would
have been paid by citizens of the United
States
And it is this arrangement that free

The AbOlishm emit Of the Supreme
Court and the New Constitution

The AbOlishm ent Of the Suprem'
Court and the New Constitution
Discussed.
In q conversation with Judge
Beatty, formerly on the Supreme
Bench In this State, in San Fran
cisco the other day, he told a
Gazette reporter that the Supreme
Court he thought could be abolish
ed without serious Inconvenience
to litiSants He said that the
fou District Judges could set
in bank and transact all the bust
ness required and have time to
spare.
United States District Judge
Hawley took a different view Of
the situation, and did not think
it would give as good satisfaction
as to have a Supreme Court to
appeal to. He said however, that
if it were abolished at all, he
would have it absolute and have
no Court of Appeal. The ques-
ton of being able to do the work
with four District Judges, he said
cut no figure in the case at all
and that it was no fault of the
Supreme Court that they had no
business to transact, for the judges
were always on hand to perform
airy duties devolving upon them
When questioned about the
policy Of holding a Constitutional
Convention, he said he would not
hold one, "For," said he, "relief
sought can be had by amendment"
But he admitted that if a Con-
stitutional Convention could be
held, and freed from the influence
that in a measure governs the
Legislature, it might be q
good thing; but he was of the
opinion that the object sought
could not be accomplished that
way.

BURIED ALIVE.
Jim Townsend, OF the "Index,"
Supposed to be Killed.

| Supposed to be Killed.
Word reached this city yester'
day by Harry Meyer. OF Bodie
that Jim Townsend, of the Lundy
Inder, was buried under a snow
slide at Lundy last Thursday.
Mr. Townsend was interested in
what is known as the Greenfield
claim, about half a mile from
where he published his paper.
He went out with Chas. Huber
to do some work on the claim,
and went into cabin at the mouth
of the tunnel to get GONE tools.
Townsend was standing between
the cabin and mouth OF the tun-
mel when the snowslide came down
the hill. Huber was about fifty
yards away, and seeing the mass
Of snow and boulders coming he
shouted to Townsend, and then
started along the hill to get away
from the track Of the slide, about
one hundred feet from the cabin.
Townsend started to run, but
whether he went into the tunnel
or in the cabin, Huber couldn't
say; he had no time to watch, but
ran for his own life.
The slide buried the cabin, and
he could hear the crashing in Of
the roof and timbers as the bowl
ders came onto it.
II Townsend was in the cabin
at that time he was undoubtedly
killed, but il he reached the tun-
mel he would be all right for sew
eral days.
When Meyer left Lunday, a
party was just going out to dig
for him.
LATER-TowNsEND RESCUED.
AS the APPEAL goes to press a
private dispatch from Bodie says
that Townsend was rescued alive.
