Tue peskiest and most persistent ad-
vocate of taxes upon the people for the
benefit of private industries is the Amer
lean Economist, paper little known ex-
cept for its senseless gable about pro-
tectionism. just now it is engaged in an
attempt 20 prove that the tariff is not q
tax It's contention is based ON the
prices of fourteen articles, including salt.
a shoddy cloak S3 0s, shoddy pants 43
cents, a shoddy blanket 90 cents, other
shoddy things, a saw file, playing cards
and wire nails, all of which the writer
says can be bought cheaper than the
tariff duty would be ON them if they were
imported There is no method for run
ming down and correcting. If erroneous,
isolated statements like these It is pos
sible that laying a tariff ON imported goods
is shrewd scheme for decreasing the
price of the domestic goods in order that
the tariff robber might pay higher wages +;
and It is possible that a decrease in the
tariff would increase the price of the
goods affected and decrease the wages of
those making them, but we do not appre-
bend that any man with a sane mind
would suggest those as normal methods.
/ If pants" salt wire nails. shoddy
/ blankets and clothes can be manufact-
ured so as to be sold cheaper than the
amount Of the tariff duty on them, then
there is no need for the tariff If the
defense is made that these articles were
not cheapened by improvements in ma
chinery, by a decrease in wages or by
better methods, but by the act OF
congress, then why not decrease them
some more by act of congress; and why
not make them free by the same easy,
sovereign and cheap method2 If prices
can be fixed at lower rates on files and
playing cards why not adjust the price
of labor so that the working man in @
protected shop will obtain as high wages
Illustrations which prove that the tariff
is not tax, serve as fresh Illustrations OF
the facts that a lie always contains
enough truth 70 float it and fraud g.
never so harefaced as TO expose itself
All the illustrations which may b.
brought together cannot prove that
tariff duty imposed on foreign goods car
assure greater profits to the owner O
domestic goods higher wages TO working
: men and cheaper goods to the consumers
p II that can be proved TO have occurre,
then the protectionists win have PROVED
{ too much for their own cause-namely
t that protection is unnecessary.

NEWSPAPER OPINION.
The True Issue in TarIn REFORM.

ARt True issue ia lNrln REFORM.
New York Evening Post.
The point made by Mr.. David A. Wells
in his article. before noticed, in the Sep
TENDER Forum, that the proposition
Tariff for Revenue Only" embodies a
meaning far broader and more important
than any that would follow from n limi-
tation Of its application to the mere levy
ing of duties upon Imports, is well
worthy the attention Of all who would
comprehend the change that is taking
place in the theory and policy Of our
government in consequence of the
endorsement and practical appli
cation of the principles Of pro
lection, more especially as eNem-
pliiied in the Mckinley tariff. That tar
nj reform in the United States has passed
beyond the stage Of being solely an econ
omic issue has for some time been recog
nized; but statesmen, politicians. and
the mass of the people generally have
thus far failed TO appreciate fully that
the power of dealing ont wealth by the
Government to individuals or corpo-
rate interests, which is the un-
DERIVING principle of protection,
is radically antagonistic to the
continuance Of a free government, and in
government by capital. which, as wealth
tends TO concentrate in large masses.
must necessarily be n government by
a majority. That a very long stride has
already been taken In this direction must
be apparent when one recalls, what none
but a most extreme partisan will DENY.

plane, namely, shall our Government be

and by the people? or shall it be made
subservient through the perversion Of
the taxing power, to the interest
of accumulated capital and the
consequent and inevitable conversion of
free government into a plutocracy ?
Let but the masses once clearly recognize
the situation, and the victory of tariff
reform over protection as taught by
Mckinley and endorsed by the Republi-
can party viii be speedily and perma-
nently won; and, as an fundamentally
for eifecting this result, we hope that
the Democratic national committee will
give Mr.. Weiss paper a wide circula-

There is one industry which has
sprung up and fourished like the
traditional green bay.tree under the
fostering care Of the Mckinley
bill for which our high protection friends
do not profess much regard That in
dustry is the manufacture of shoddy.
So far as we can learn at present there
have been no strikes, shut-downs, or de
creases in wages . in this industry
Every shoddy mill in New England is
running full time. with an abundance of
orders. Those mills that were abandon
ed under the low wOol-tariff era have re-
opened, and are turning out shoddy cloth
ing az a surprising rate This prosperity In
the sho ddy industry is not without its
disastrous effect upon the wooden trade
The number of failures i'm the legitimate

manufactured article is becoming infe-

ing, however, is everywhere, and shoddy
manufacturers profit enormously because

seduced specimens Of Democracy TO the

the managers of that party Of high moral
purposes use arguments backed by so
many dollars that certain class of poll
ticians who believe in light principles

go over at once. They carry all the
character they have, and the money too
with them SO that in few years the Re

entire supply of purchasables. The Re
publioans had good stock on hand when

making. there is no telling when another
