II protection makes wages higher in
the United States than in England, how
is it that wages were higher here than
in England even hundred years ago,
when England was protected country
and we had free trade?
II protection makes wages higher,
why is it that wages in our non-pro-
tected industries, requiring skilled
labor, are higher than in protected
industries of similar requirements

why is II that farm labor railroad en-

The meaning of these figures is thus
pointed out by Mr. j. s Moore: 1.-THE
reason for this discrepancy lies in a
nutshell. The protected American
feudal lord buys what he needs and
consumes in the cheapest market in
the world and sells his product in the
dearest, whereas, the rural American
serf sells his product in the cheapest
market in the world and has to buy all
necessaries of life in the dearest mar
ket which is the protected home mar
ket and the only market where he can
supply himself"

FARMERS AND THE CENSUS.

Gain of Wealth In Manufacturing and
Farming States-Farmers Falling Behind
In Wealth
Robert P. Porter's census, bad as it
is, has already furnished abundant
means for refuting his egregious false
hood that "the direct benefits he the
farmer] receives from the protective
tariff are far in excess of the benefits
received by any other class"
If the farmer is getting SO much
more good out of the tariff than the
manufacturers it ought to be shown in
the growth of agricultural states.
These latter ought at least to keep pace
in the accumulation of wealth with
manufacturing states Even Porter's
census shows the exact opposite to be
the case.
Here is how wealth has increased,
according to Porter, in eight manufact-

BARNARD'S BILL.
M. Taggart Explains It's scope and
Practical Features.

Mr.. TAggart Explains Its Scope and
Practical Features.
This bill does not in any manner at
feet the jurisdiction of the superior
court in street opening or condemna-
ton proceedings and such idea of Its
effects arises from a misapprehension
Of its provisions. It does provide that
party suing the city OF a city official
may have the option of bringing such
suit in the circuit suit and not be forced
to trial in a city court before jury,
all of whom are liable to be called upon
to assist in paying judgment, If found
IN PLAINTIFFS favor; IN other words, it
gives the right to try the case in a court
OF the county. The other provision puts
the court, in the transfer Of cases upon
the same basis as circuit courts, trans
fer can be made on cause shown. To
illustrate, resident Of the county, not
city, as the law now is, has debtor re-
siding in the city and sues him in the
circuit court, desiring . trial by jury
of the county, composed of both city
and country jurors, the defendant
without any showing, as q matter
Of right, can have such case
tI8uoleIIeO tO the superior court,
and have jury entirely composed of
his acquaintance in the city. This law
now proposed makes change in this,
that suit so brought i'll the circuit can
only he transferred TO the superior
court on cause shown, the same as be-
tween circuits. 1t is recognized, gen.
orally, that one claim in litigation,
so far as practicable, should not be tried
before the friends of either. The
United States law, where the claim is
two thousand dollars and upward. for
the very purpose of avoiding prejudice
favorable IN defendants in the circuit
court, permits transfer to the United
States courts. The superior court act,
as it now stands, reverses the rule, and
permits the defendant to have 8 case
transferred to his own local court. If
it is thought the city fares better in q
city court, 1t is the strongest argument
that can be suggested for the first pro-
posed amendment, IS 1t has no right to
more than equal, exact justice. There
seems no reasonable objection to the
amendment proposed, but substantial
reasons for its adoption. 1t only gives
the circuit court concurrent jurisdiction
in certain cases. and is not likely to
largely affect the business of superior
court. MosEs TAGeART.
