The Case in a Nutshell.

1t is probably true that if every bust
ness man in a city was required to pay
tax of one dollar annually, to be put
in the pockets of some large lnanufac-
turer employing a considerable number
of men, it might add something to the
general prosperity of the city, provided
the subsidized manufacturer should ex-
pend the contribution in advancing the
wages of his workmen or in expanding
his business, but the benefits realized
would be SO slight as well as precarious,
and the scheme is so inherently i'm
proper, that the experiment would be
unsatisfactory. Robbery is none the
less Objectionable even though the
whole people receive an equal share of
the booty. Every honest community
should protest against such an iniquitous
system; and the policy of addition,
division and silence" while it may be
acceptable to Republicans in Pennsyl-
vania, will not be adopted by honest
men lsewhere.-Senator Hill at Buffalo.

High Tariff Wages.

"In Rockville, Conn, there are," says
the New York Press, several worsted
mills where men receive ten dollars a
week; women, $3.50, and girls, $3.50 a
week" AS this is from a high tariff
paper, and is advanced as proof of the
benefcent effects of the Mckinley law,
it may be taken for granted that the
wages quoted are the highest. What do
the American people think of paying
two prices for everything they wear in
order that skilled workmen may draw
the munificent stipend of ten dollars a
week, about the same wage as that of
the lowest paid laborer in the unpro-
tected mills in Minneapolis? Do they
believe from this exhibit that the tariff
tax levied on them is divided with the
workingman in wages, or must they
echo the regret of Candidate Harrison,
"that all employers are not consider

Even Pennsylvania Seems Weary.

The president of the great Midvale
Steel works, one of the largest in the
country, has been converted to the doc
trine Of free raw material. This is Mr..
Charles j. Harrah, of Philadelphia, a
lifelong and active Republican. Mr..
Harrah believes that if the duty on iron
ore and pig metal was repealed, with in
dustry and commerce unshackled to
that extent Americans would be able to
"meet the Englishman everywhere he
shows his face and beat him out of the
field-and we can do it every time" OF
course we can, with our unbounded re-
sources, our skilled and inventive me-
chanics, and our liberal and farsighted
ists.-Pittsburg Post.

WHERE 1T is DRIFTING.
The Republican Party Becoming the
Servant of Monopoly.

The Republican Party Becoming the
Servant of Monopoly.
No truer word has ever been spoken
in regard to the tendencies of the two
great parties Of this country than the
following sentence by Carl Schurz in
his recent letter:
"The more strongly the Republican
party adheres to its leading principle
and policy, the more corrupt it will be-
come and the more baneful in its infu-
ence as an agency of political demorali-
zation, while the Democratic party, the
more strongly it clings to its leading
principle, the stronger will it become
morally and the healthier its influence
upon our political life"
The leading principle of the Repub-
ican party has come to be the highest
possible tariff taxation that the people
will put up with. AS this tariff taxa
ton builds up trusts and monopolies ut
terly opposed to the interests of the peo-
pie, the party fostering these combina-
tions of greed and oppression must in
evitably drift away from all sympathy
with the people and fall under the DOM
ination of a grasping plutocracy. 1t
cannot escape this tendency if it would,
for it is not in human nature to resist
the pressure of the enormous influences
with which the Republican party sur
rounds itself through its policy of farm
ing out the taxing power to private cor
porations and individuals.
Add to this the fact-which the fa-
nous STAT circular" so clearly demon
strated four years ago-that the party
which deals out public wealth to private
parties will naturally look to those pri-
vate parties for money to carry elections,
in order to continue its policy of govern
ment favoritism, and one easily sees
why the Republican party must grow
more and more corrupt, must become
efciaries.
That this once great party has become
the obedient servant of those bene-
ficiaries is fact which any voter can
prove for himself. 1t requires no process
of difficult reasoning. Let any one take
a copy of the hearings before McKin-
leys committee and compare the duties
there asked for by the manufacturers
with those actually incorporated into
the Mckinley law, and he will see with
his own eyes the proof of this corrupt
allegiance between the Republican party
and its pets and favorites. He will see
that the so called lawmakers of that
party in the Fifty-frst congress aban-
doned their functions as legislators and
turned them over to those favorites.
Is not this corruption of the most fla
grant and wide reaching kind? Can
liberty and freedom survive in coun-
try where equal justice is thus bartered
for political gain by a party which ex-
lists solely upon the good will and fnan-
cial support of its powerful favorites?
But the Democratic party, with its
creed of equal rights to all and favor
itism to none, easily escapes the COR
rupting influences which are dragging
the Republican party to it's death. In
looking to the interests of the consumer
as the main concern of the legislator it
acts for the best interests of the whole
people, and it keeps itself in sympathy
with them, for the consumers of this
country are the whole peoplei and in

In deciding to open campaign head
quarters in Chicago the democratic ma
tional committee has acted wisely. The
chairman of the executive committee
himself, Don NJ. Dickinson, will be in
charge. Mr.. Dickinson 10 a successful
and energetic campaigner and thor
oughly understands the situation in the
group Of northwest states which he will
have in charge. We observe that Mon
tana is not one Of the states to be looked
after from the Chicago office. Why is it
left out? Montana is to be one Of the
great battle states. Its electoral votes
are not many IN number, but who shall
say they may not determine the contest.
Chairman Carter will be moved by pride
and self-lnterest to prodigious effort to
carry the state for Harrison for presi-
dent and for himself for the United
States senate. The democracy OF Mon
tana fully understand this, and they are
not afraid OF the issue, but they would
like the support and appreciation Of the
national committee. We can win this
state, and we intend to do 80.

HAVING read Major McKinley's state.
ment that foreigners pay the tax, "A
Mother of q Family" writes to the New
York Evening Post for further light. A
most desirable material for children'a
dresses, she says, is ar article of the
ticking order, called galatea. In Eng
land these goods are sold at seven cents
a yard and are in common use in fam
lilies for economical dresses. The duty
on these goods as fixed by the Mckinley
bill is 80 cents q yard, and "The Mother
of a Family" pays 40 cents a yard here
for the stuff. What she wants to know
is: How the foreigner is compelled tc
pay the tax? She thinks she pays it
herself. Major McKinley's explanation
has not been received, but he will prob
ably tell her that women can't reason
anyway, aud besides they have no bust
ness to meddle in politics.

THE WEATHER
FREE WOOL THE REMEDY.

The statement Of Justice, Bateman &
Co., in their latest circular, that Ohio
wool is lower IN price than it has ever
before been in the United States, al
though not so low as the price Of wool
in the London market, instead of being
an argument for protection, as the firm
claims, is an illustration of the benefit
free wool would BE- to this country. 1t
demonstrates ~conclusively that a high
tariff does not keep up prices. Such
being the case, why should it not be
possible for the consumers in the United
States to get wooden goods as cheap
here as in England? The only reason is
that this country does not produce
enough wool for home consumption, and
that the manufacturers are at a disad-
vantage compared with the English
manufacturers. We need foreign woods
to blend with our native product. Our
home manufacturers cannot get them
without paying an exorbitant duty.
Each person in the United States uses
from ten to twenty yards of flannel
d~ress-goods, blankets or other wooden
materials, per year. The wool product
of this country is not sufficient to give
each person over three-fourths OF a
yard. We are forced to import expen-
sive foreign fabrics or wear shoddy
goods. The latter alternative is &C
copied by poor people who cannot pay
the high duties on imported goods.
Could u manufacturers get blended
wool from abroad, free of duty, they
could beat the world in making wooden
goods. We have the skilled labor and
the machinery; all we need is the ma
terial to work upon. The demand for
domestic wool would Immediately IL
crease were the duty removed from for
eign woods, because manufacturers would
find their business wonderfully stimu-
lated. The high duties on the manu-
featured products could be reduced, and
we should have cheap wooden goods for
the consumer, fair profits for the manu-
f%acturer, and better markets for the
woolgroWer at the same time.
