1t was indeed Jean. He explained:

trick the Cure, who meant to get the
better of him. After his work was fin,

Jean Renard climbed up and un.

fell upon the square beneath amid gen.

The Cure thus got the worst of the

The case is heard, said in his turn
the justice of the peace, who gave judg.

"Consdering that Jean Renard tricked
the Cure, but that the Cure had first

"Considering that the trade of priest

it is the trade Of skaters to set up

with his wide knowledge of the work
lngs OF home rule in Canada, will prove
an invaluable ally to Mr.. Gladstone.
His attainments are such that he is
certain to make himself felt in the
house of commons, and he will always
be found in the first rank of those who
are battling for the re-establishment
OF parliament in Dublin. In the
north division Of County Lonth, Tim.

'PrOErcSSiyc EuMacy.,,

The New York Tribune-now a
union otficc-says the Omaha plat
form is "crazy" one, and that the
party which put it out is the old fiat
money party, "with such additions
OF heresy as progressive lunacy
may naturally produce" The words
are apt as definition, but very in
apt as reproach from that quarter.
The republican party prints paper
money, but stops the presses at
three hundred-odd millions; the
Peoples party would progress the
lunacy and print more. The repub-
llcan party furnishes money for
bankers; the peoples party says
furnish it for the people. The Re-
publican party buys all the product
of one class and issues due bills on
it; the Peoples party says ware
house our products of the farm and
give us your due bills. The Repub-
lican party builds bonded ware
houses for storage of imports; the
Peoples party says go farther and
build granarles for us. The Repub-
lican party lends whisky distillers
the amount of their tax at 5 per
cent; the Peoples party says lend
US money at 9 per cent. The Re
publican party pays bounty to
sugar producers and vessel owners.
the Peoples party asks why stop
there: The Republican party lends
money to the Pacific roads at 2 per
cent; the Peoples party asks for
loans on its farms at the same rate.
The Republican party compels the
people to support certain industries
protecting them, it terms the pro-
cess; the Peoples party says protect
our industries. In fact, there is not
plank i'll that "crazy PLATFORM
that is not made from trees planted
by the Republican party; and the
''addltlons of heresy" are only the
development of ssprogressive
lunacy" roofing back in the estab-
llshed and incurable lunacy of the
Republican party.

Learning Their Lesson.

The great wool-growing state of Tex
as leads the opposition to the Mckinley
tariff on wool. The Reporter, publish
ed at the town of Alice in the Lone
Star state, sizes up the situation in the
following concise and unanswerable
fashion: "Wool is selling in this mar
ket at 16 and II cents pound, and yet
there is big tariff Oh foreign wool.
How long will it take the farmers to
learn that the tariff on wool is an in
jury to them? How long will it take
them to learn that manufacturers COM
bine and pay them what they please
for their wool; in fact reduce the price
on native wool to enable them to pay
the tariff rates on foreign wools, which
they must have, for mixing purposes,
so that they sell their products at the
old price?''
How long will it take the farmers to
learn? That is the question.-a ques-
ton of time merely.
Not the farmers of Texas, for they
have already learned, as is evidenced
by the annually increasing majerities
with which they indorse the democratic
doctrine of tariff reform. But the farm
ers of the country generally-how long
will it take them to learn that the ini-
quitous monopoly tariff robs them even
where it makes the greatest pretence
of protecting" their interests?
They have learned a greal deal al
ready, as the elections of 1890 and 1891
bore witness. The chances are that by
next November they will have learned
their hard lesson sufficiently we'll to be
more than willing to vote the rObber
tariff its final reputation.

GROVER CLEVELAND.
ADEEAa E. STEVENSON.

"Surely, man has right to de-
fend his own property against the
depredations of persons who place
the laws at dcfiance!'' This is the
defence urged i'll behalf Of the own
ers Of the Carnegie steel and iron
works, and it's truth cannot we'll be
disputed, though its application to
this particular case may, perhaps, be
successfully denied. Turning to
the other parties interested may it
not be plead in their behalf, that
they have right to protect them
selves and families from premedi-
tated and threatened injury from
those who are avowedly conspiring
to starve them into submission to
their will. 1t does not appear that
the working men at Homestead
threatened or contemplated any in
jury to the property of the Carnegie
company. They simply protested
against the company's right to de-
prive them of opportunity to main
tain themselves and families by dis
missing them from employment in
the works. Such dismissal to be
the penalty of their refusal to ac-
cept such wages as the company
would have to pay men whom it
could find without permanent en-
ployment and in such reduced cif-
'cumstances as to be willing to ac-
cept very inadequate compensation.
The Homestead working men had
established themselves in that vii
lage, and many Of them had pur-
chased a house and lot, with the
understanding that they were to be
permanently employed at the works.
To discharge them was to compel
them to sacrifice this property they
had acquired, subject them to the
hardship of hunting work in other
and distant localities, and reduce
them to almost certain destitution.
1t was against such probabilities
that they sought to protect them
selves and the question is, had they
not as much right to do SO, as the
Carnegie company had to bring to
their quiet little village band of
numbering outlaws for the avowed
purpose of compelling their submis-
sion?
There are two sides to this, as to
all other questions, and to an Amer
ican citizen, above toadying to
wealthy upstarts so numerous in
this country, the Carnegies have
certainly much the weaker side.-

Woman on the Tariff. :.

The practical, everyday, house

as closely as possible to 80 cents a
yard. The tariff thus keeps the
price always vastly higher here than
abroad. That is what it is for

THE REIGN OF PLUTOCRACY.

organ of May 30, this statement:
"Another favoritc material this
year is Galatea which is of the tick
ing order of goods, but is very light
and serviceable. 1t comes in all
colors, and can be easily laundricd.
The material is 40 cents a yard on
this side of the Atlantic, and only
7 cents in England"
A "Mother of a family" quotes
this statement of the republican
organ i'll a letter to the New York
Evening Post, and indorses it as
true. "Galatea cloth,'' she says, "is
a most desirable article of goods for
children's clothing" The material
costs I cents yard in England, but
the tariff puts it up to 40 cents
yard here. There is an American
imitation of the English article
which is sold here a little under 40
cents, but, according to the ''Mothcr
of a family it is tiimsy and worth
less"
The "Mother Of family" after
getting some Galatea cloth happened
to read Governor McKinley's speech
at the Minneapolis convention, and
was thunderstruck, she says, with
this passage. "We stand for a pro-
tective tariff because it represents
the American home, the American
tireside, the American family, the
American girl, the American boy,
and the highest possibilities of Amer
lean citizenship. The democratic
party believes in direct taxation, that
is, in taxing ourselves, but we do
not believe in that principle so long
as we can find anybody else to tax"
She wants somebody, she says, seto
harmonic Mr.. McKinley's speech
with the paragraph from the Trib-
une." She can't for the life of her
see that the foreigner helped her to
the extent of SO cents a yard when
she paid 40 cents for Galatea cloth.
She is woman, and, of course, hasn't
as powerful an intellect as the author
of the Mckinley act, but she is will
ing to be taught. 81 would like"
she says, "te have you explain to
me how it is that the tax of 80 cents
a yard which I have to pay for
every yard of English cloth that I
buy for my children comes out of
the foreigners pocket"
The post gives it up. Only per-
sons whom self-interest or partisan
feeling has trained to swallow thorny
paradoxes can gulp down the Nc
Kinley doctrine. Of course the
tariff rate is added to the price so
far as the home manufacture-with
the help often of trust to suppress
home competition-can do it. Else
he wouldn't want tariff rate. No.
body wants tariff rate to put prices
down. The object of the manufac-
turer in buying up congressman to
vote for a high tariff is to put prices
up.
As the foreign price of an article
jgoes down, SO, to some mallextent,
does the price of the protected arti-
Gle. When the foreigners shall
begin to sell Galatea cloth, for ex.
ample at 6 cents a yard, the Ameri-
