Sherman's Democratic ProcIiyities,

Senator Sherman is one of several
Republican congressman who had to
struggle with their consciences when
they voted for the Mckinley bill. That
his conscience is not yet fully at ease as
regards the matter is evident from the
following, spoken in the senate in July:
Indeed l have no doubt the result of
the policy of protection does always
bring about some results which would
probably not be desirable. The enor-
nous development of these industries
has made the aggregation of vast
amounts of capital and great corpora
tions, and there may be more or less
danger growing from their ambitious
desires and sometimes from their un-
fairness and their disregard of the rights
of the poor and of the laboring man.
There are dozens of articles in the
tariff which, if myself were to frame
a tariff bill looking only to the interests
of the people of Ohio, l might strike
down here and there. certainly would
admit coal duty free and l would admit
lumber duty free. would do great
many things that our Democratic friends
want to do; but in system like this you
have to observe impartial justice to all
interests alike. If you protect the in
terests of Illinois you must also protect
the interests Of Minnesota, and do what
is fair all around. A tariff bill, after
all, we all admit, is struggle of oppos-
ing interests. Every man, taken by
himself, is opposed to something in the
tariff. If he wants to buy be wants to
buy as cheaply as possible, AND if he
wants to sell he wants as much prutec-
ton as possible. In the nature of a
tariff law there must be some general
rule applied to all sections and to all in
terests, and the result has proved by
actual experiment in the last thirty years
that of all our interests this protective
system is the greatest and most impor-
tant of our financial operations.

The PAaia Speaker is very much afraid
that the Democrats of the North Side
will do some dirty work" as it calls it,
on election day, because one of the can
didates from this side was not nom
mated for the legislature. These fears,
we think, are groundless. North Side
Democrats are not yet so low as to stoop
to "dirty work." although it would not
be surprising if they had reached that
stage of degradation, considering their
proximity and necessary intercourse
with Hazeton Democrats. The law
however, gives them the privilege of
voting as the wish, and as the North
Side believes it is entitled to the repre-
sentative this year, the Democrats of
Foster and Freeland can be relied upon
doing their duty by electing the candi-
date who will represent their interests
best. One thing is certain, they will
not do any dirty work" Whatever is
done will be done openly, and newspaper
dictation will not frighten or prevent
them from doing just as they please,
without regard to the wriggling CT
squirming of Hazletonians.

The tariff of 1890 deals out govern
ment licenses to its favorites to take
that which Is not their own, against the
protest OF other industries demanding
the right to keep what they have earned,
and strife is thus inaugurated between
domestic industries more subverting to
general prosperity than any possible en-
croachment of foreigners.
The contest which ended in the in
creased duty on timed plate was a
novel interference with 5000 selfsup-
porting established industries built ur
by the use of cheap timed plate as their
raw material in order to favor an in.
dustry non-selfsupporting, and which
very fact was urged as an excuse why
public charity should be extended
toward it.
The government in thus granting
privileges to certain industries, at the
expense of others, is encouraging prec
edent which, in its simplest definition
means robbery, and which in its result,
involves burdening the people to natural
ize pauper industry at the blatant ap
peal of those whose sole object was t.
profit by selling supplies to the indus
trial poorhouse TINS set up.

Up on the east side of North Seventh
street, about midway between Poplar
street and Girard avenue, stands strik-
ingly curious tree, which attracts the
attention of every passer by. It stands
just In front of stable yard, and the
employees of the place say that dozens
Of people come to them every week and
make remarks or ask questions about
the strange growth. From the thick.
ness of the trunk at the base the tree is
probably about forty years old, but its
branches and foliage are new and fresh,
and look as though they were but the
growth Of year or two. The trunk
runs straight from the ground to height
of about fifteen feet.
Above this for short distance is a
thick, globular mass of foliage, the
leaves appearing. to grow directly out of
the wood. Above this gfowth run up
three thick stalks or stumps six or eight
feet high, also covered with a dense,
close mass of foliage. When the tree Is
viewed from the north side it presents q
startling resemblance to giant human
hand protruding from the earth. The
three big stumps at the top represent
the three middle fingers, and upon
either side of these can easily be seen
confgurations Of the surrounding foli-
age which correspond to the little finger
and thumb.
The explanation of the phenomenon is
curious one. The tree was once full
grown and vigorous, but was attacked
by blight or some other disease and the
dead trunk was pruned down to its pres
ent proportions, whereupon the present
new growth developed. Philadelphia

shroud? Not bit of it. Many couples
would establish homes earlier in life If
competition were less severe in the labor
market and more severe in the goods
market. Not only this, but there would
be more life, health and happiness and
less sorrow in American homes if the
curse of protection were removed from
the land.
In every sense Republican protection
Injuries everything that is American and
discriminates in favor of foreigners. 1t
is also largely foreign institution, and
prevails in most of the miserable, low
wage foreign nations from which we
get our present supply of immigrants.
And yet we are told that protection" is
the American system" Was there
ever greater travesty on facts got up
with greater ingenuity to befog the
senses and tickle the vanity of the vic
tins of great conspiracy?

PROTECTION IN PRACTICE.


The Tariff Steel Rails Has Enabled
the Makers to Fix the Price.
The Engineering and Mining Journal
gives an exceedingly valuable illustra-
tion of the manner in which a protec-
tive tariff raises its benefciaries above
the operations of the natural law of
trade.
The illustration concerns steel rails,
which are now 81 ton higher than they
were in 1885, although the cost of pro-
duction and the tariff tax are less and
the demand is slight. The command
of the market, by reason of the tariff
on rails and the ownership Of the Besse-
mer patents, has enabled the railmakers
to fix arbitrarily the price of their prod
ucts.
The American manufacturers make
much of the fact that improved ma
chinery has greatly increased their out
put, and The Journal estimates that the
cost of producing steel rails, when the
manufacturer makes his own pig, can
not exceed $50 ton. In 1885 steel rails
sold at SEQ ton, and the cost of Besse-
mer pig alone was $40. AtcS30 ton
the profits on the annual outfit of steel
rails is necessarily between $lO,000,00
and $l2 100000.
That the protective tariff gives this
enormous dividend to the makers, who
instead of increasing wages are trying
to cut them down, is shown by an ex-
animation of English prices. In May,
1892, English rails sold for $l9.44. The
duty on this, $13.44, would make their
price $32. SO, not counting freight and in
surance. 1t is clear therefore that $50
is the price at which the English rails
can be kept out. While the English
price has fallen since 1885 from $23. II q
ton to $19.44, the price of English pig
has risen from $1,000 ton to $12.15.
In other words, the English maker
pays $1.43 more for his pig and gets
1878 less for his rails. At the same
time, while the price of American rails
advanced from SEQ to $50 ton, the
price of American pig fell from $17 to
$14 ton, so that the American maker
paid 50 less for his pig and got 81 more
for his product.
This gain he keeps for himself. New
York World.

The worst feature of tariff protection
is that the schemers who are to be bene-
fitted are called in by the ways and
means committee and consulted as to
the amount and kind of taxes they want
on the foreign goods that might COM
pete with theirs, and the people who
do not get any benefit have to pay the
tax in ignorance. 1t is robbery. The
robbery will continue just so long as the
sufferers allow it. The benefciaries
would never move its repeal.-Des

IT is hoped that the convention which
meets at Wilkes-Barre tomorrow will
select ticket that can command the
support of all elements of the party and
all portions of the district. 1t is i'm
possible to suit everybody and some
must be disappointed, but if the dele
gates show any disposition to make a
good, strong ticket they can rest assured
their work will be ratified at the polls
Voters nowadays are imbued with an
independent spirit, and the party cannot
afford to neglect the claims or interests
of any section that is entitled to con
sideration.

In Thursdays issue of the X. Of Il.
Journal T. V. Powderly made strong
and convincing argument against work
ingmen enlisting in the state militia or
the regular army. Since Pinkertonism
had to succumb to the protest of the
public, employers find it cheaper to
have the troops called out for every
little scrmmage around their works,
and as the expense is borne wholly by
the taxpayers it is cheaper than hir-
ing private police.

If the Democrats in every legisl ltive
district of the state have their nomina-
tions controlled by few men, as in the
fourth Luzerne, there will not be much
hope of electing Governor Pattison to
the United States senate in place Of
Matt Quay. If Hazleton politicians are
really anxious to change the political
complexion of the next legislature, or of
this district, they have adopted a queer
method to bring about that result. But
they claimed they knew what they were
doing, and as they would not tolerate
any interference with their plans so far
they are welcome to carry the burden
alone until the day after election.

GooD for Chancellor McGill, of New
Jersey, who has decided the Reading
deal illegal so far as it relates to the
Central Railroad of New Jersey. The
decision, however, will make no APP
parent change in the operation of the
road, as the Reading owns a controlling
interest in the Central, and change of
officers will bring it within the limits of
the law again. But it goes to show that
over in New Jersey the people have
officials who are not afarid of Mcleod
and the other conspirators, and if every
state affected by the deal had few Nc
Gills in office they could make the COM
bine vince.

IT is said that Bardsley, whose steal
ings were the talk of the nation about
year ago, is getting tired of peniten-
tiary life, and would like some of his in
fluential friends to bring him in par.
don. Bardsley must wait just a little
longer, until 1895, when Pennsylvania
may have Republican governor, before
he can get out and join the select group
of Philadelphia's prominent politicians
who used him as catspaw. But out he
will get as soon as the executive power
is intrusted to Republican, for Mr.. B
