The protectionist does not advocate
restricted importa I rs generally. He
believes in restrict impor,ations of
articles which compete with our own
productions, and thus take away en-
ployment from our woIkingmen; but
importations of non-competing articles
should not be restricted. Thus, under
the Mckinley tariff our imports have
greatly increased. but this increase has
been almost entirely in articles which
we do not ourselves produce.
Question No "a What advantage is tariff
wool and other raw material?
The same advantage as a tariff on
manufactures. 1t protects the pre-
ducers of the raw materials from foreign
competition. Raw materials, as that
term is usually employed, are about the
only kind Of products farmers produce.
They are more directly interested in
their protection than any other class of
our people.
Question No. 25. Do American manufactur.
ers sell cheaper abroad than at home? If So

says:
We have been twenty years in the bust
ness, and our experience has been that
goods are sold in this country as low if not
lower than they are sold for export, with
this exception: Export buyers pay cash
or give q letter of credit on London, which
we sell here on the day the goods are de-
livered on board, and get cash for il.
This gives them a slight discount but do
nestle buyers at all times can obtain the
same discount by buying on the same
terms-that is, by paying spot cash.
This allusion TO the slight discount
given for spot cash, as against sales on
thirty, sixty or ninety days time, which
is generally demanded by the domestic
buyer, probably explains the apparent
discount said to be given to the for
elgner. But it should be remembered
that it is given, not because he is for
eigner, out because he pays spot cash.
The American who will pay spot cash
can get the very same discount

Stopping with Half the Story.

Senator Hill in his Birmingham
speech said of the city's growth: "Your
triumphs here in every department are
the wonders of the world. There is no
example like it afforded in the country.
The place where this city stands only a
few years ago was an open plain, and
now is one Of the most thriving cities in
the whole South" The Senator spoke
the truth as far as he went, but he
should have told the whole truth, and
said that all that wonderful growth was
the direct result of the Republican pol
icy of protection to home industries.
Birmingham's chief industry is the
manufacture Of iron, and without pro-
lection the place would yet be as the
speaker said it was few years ago
Fan open plain. The coal and iron
mines in Alabama would have slum-
bered eternally had it not been for pro
lection. The South has made greater
advancement in material prosperity
during the past fifteen years under the
Republican system Of protection than it
did in fifty years under the Democrat C
system of free trade.

would draw off Democratic votes almost
exclusively, and give the Republicans
an extraordinary opportunity.
On the other hand, the Eastern tariff
reformers are better informed than
other Democrats in regard to the con-
sequences Of silver agitatio at the East.
They are telling the truth when they say
that neither Rhode Island, Connecticut,
New Hampshire, nor Massachusetts
could possibly be carried by the Demo-
cratic party if tainted with the silver
heresy. They make it clear also that
the state of New York could not be
brought to vote for any candidate be-
lieved to lean toward tree coinage. Now
the legitimate conclusion from all this
information and these predictions is that
the Democrats cannot win in any way.
The tariff reformers calculate upon
throwing the election into the House.
True, they reason. Alliance tickets may
carry some Southern states, and thus
prevent any election of President by
the people, but the choice would then
have to be made by the present Demo-
cratic House, which would elect the
present Democratic candidate. Would
it? Did the Democratic caucus nomi-
nate Mr.. Cleveland's candidate for
Speaker? Did the majority of Demo-
Gratis In the House vote as Mr.. Cleve-
land desired on the silver bill? What
would happen if the Democrats from
silver states should vote for the ALI
ance candidate for President? And
what would happen if the Alliance
tickets in half a dozen states ordinarily
Democratic should give the electoral
votes of those states 20 the Republican
candidate ?-Ne,O York Tribune.

he went with the highest anticipa-
tions, but the reality very far ex-
ceeded his most vivid imagination.
Mr.. Spurge0n was OF humble origin.
The illustration we give of his birth
place shows this. 1t was a plain,
modest structure, the home evidently
Of plain people. He never outgrew
ever continued to be in hearty SYM
pathy with the masses. Here, no
doubt, was one of the elements OF his
power. He was unaSsuming; he dis
liked titles. He did not like even
the conventional title Of Rev., but
preferred to be known rs simply Mr..
Spurgeon. For q while at least he
appears to have underestimated his
own abilities. When one day in 1853
he opened the letter inviting him
TO come to London, he was surprised,
and thought it must be intended for
some other person.
His powers Of mind were prodig-
ious, but his education was not that
of the schools. In early life he
planned to pursue full course at enc
Of the colleges or universities, but was
led TO change his purpose. Whether
he erred or not in this it is impossi-
bic, Of course, to speak with GER
tainty, but we cannot help the reflec-
ton that even the greatest minds are
usually made greater by the discipline
OF college life.

The Doctors Retort.

An instance of the retort courteous
yet pointed is given by the New York
Sun: A Portland physician and Bath
theologian were in the Bowdoin medi-
cal school recently, examining micro
scopic slides of peculiar glands. The
physician began scientific discussion,
and the clergyman, becoming wearied
of the subject, exclaimed: "You doc
tors know 80 much about the uncertain
ties of this world that | should think
you would not want to live !" Where
upon the physician retorted: "You
theologians tell us 30 much about the
uncertainties of the next world that we
don't want to die |"

American Genius Abroad.

An American insurance agent has
made brilliant failure in London, with
liabilities amounting to about 1925, 900
and assets of $40. He Is said to have
arrived in England in 1890 without
capital, and the money of his creditors
appears, by his own statement, to have
been squandered in extravagant living
and gambling: He must have had q genius
for business, however, or he could not
have succeeded in accommodating such
heavy debts without capital.-Philadel-
phia LEDGER.

the leading German-American organ in
the country, tells the Democrats that "a

The Leading Nonconformist and Preacher
of the Age.

The death of Mr.. Sturgeon leaves
vacancy in the religious world
which is destined, perhaps, never to
be perfectly filled.
In many respects the character Of
Mr.. Sturgeon was unique. He stood
alone. He was fashioned after no
predecessor, and should any one try
TO initiate him the attempt would
doubtless be failure. A leading
religious journal pronounces him to
be the greatest preacher since the
rise of Professionalism. An intelli-
gent critic, who listened to him

How the Democ ats nre Looking Ahead.
The claim is new made that the Dem
ocratic party, if it will only do this or
that thing, has a certainty of success.
The only trouble is that these advisers
cannot agree about the thing necessary
to make success certain. The New York
Times says, if the silver bill is dead
there is nothing now in sight that can
prevent tariff reform from becoming
the issue and Mr.. Cleveland the candi-
date, and under those circumstances vic
tory is almost absolutely sure But
the New York Herald declares: There
is no one in New York whom it will be
entirely safe to tie to. 4 The
present political condition Of New York
state, cut up into political factions as it
is, makes such an experiment danger
Dug in the extreme. On the other
hand, man from the West, with Hill
to look alter the interests of the vice.
presidency, would make victory next
to certain" These two journals both
consider tariff reform the necessary and
only issue, but one holds Mr.. Cleve-
land essential, and the other holds the
nomination of somebody else essential
Then come the free silver men of the
West and South, declaring that party
can win with absolute certainty if it
|
mates candidate pledged to that policy,
but can win in no other way.
Predictions 80 contradictory have a
tendency to create the impression that
success is not certain under any condi-
tons. 1t always happens that men
enamored of theory see with mar
velous clearness, if not with glasses OF
high magnifying power, all its advant-
ages and benefits, but fail to see its
dangers and objections. The silver men
are stone-blind to the certain loss of
votes at the East. But the tariff re-
formers are stone-blind to the certain
loss Of Democratic votes at the West
and South. The Democratic party can
not win without New York, according
to one set of prophets. The other set,
with equal truth, shows that the party
cannot win without Indiana and Solid
South.
1t has become plain to many Demo-
cratic leaders that the Alliance will cut
their party all to pieces in some South
ern and Western states if IL defeats the
free coinage bill and dominates Mr..
Cleveland. Already some of the best
informed Democrats in Georgia declare
that the Alliance will sweep that state,
defeating most OF the present Demo-
cratic representatives, and probably
Speaker Crisp among them, and giving
the electoral votes to a third party
candidate. Similar predictions are
made as TO other Southern
states by men who have the best
opportunity to know the situation
there. If only one of these states
should be lost, New York would not
save the Democratic ticket, and several
will be unless influential Democrats
are mistaken. They show also that the
Alliance tickets in West Virginia, Vir-
ginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and
in Indiana and the Western States

Facts That Prove Agricultural Prosperity
In the month of Decem her 1901 The


In the month of December, 1891, the
farmers of this country exported barley
to the value of 1857 ,22S, as against the
value SIS, 2lS in December, 1890; they
exported corn to the value of 1865, S37,
as against the value of 1861 ,73S; they ex-
ported oats TO the value of 81, LIS, $40, as
against the value of $l6,9S0; they ex-
ported oatmeal to the value of $50, 266,
as against the value of $3.50; they ex-
ported rye to the value of $906, S2i, as
against the value So, 250: they exported
wheat to the value of $l6,6S6, 30l, as
against the value of 81, l55, 22S; they ex-
ported wheat flour to the value of
1920, 737, as against the value of
$4,S53,747. Their total sales Of bread
stuffs in December, 1891, amounted to
$50, 24l 1893, as against $40, l26, 1856; and
taking the whole calendar year of 1891
their sales of breadstuffs amounted to
1924 ,3l9 800, as against $l36, S45, 500 in
1890. This enormous addition to the
earnings of the farmers, amounting to
SIS, 0O0, 900, was accomplished under the
operation of q tariff which they were
told by Democratic free traders would
bring about their utter ruin. 1t has
been accomplished under the policies
of party which the Farmers Alliance
has painted to them as wholly inimical
to their interest. 1t may be assumed that
with these SSS,000, 900 in their pockets
they will now listen to free traders and
Alliance lecturers with degree of
amusement only equaled by their con-
tempt.
Another illustration of our foreign
trade during December. 1891. In that
month we bought of other nations goods
valued at sos, IA ,655. We sold to other
nations products worth $ll9. 49,, 532.
Thus we sold far more goods than we
bought, and the excess of our sales over
our purchases was $50, 4S7, S77. 1t is no
wonder that the calamity howlers are
dumb when they see the nation doing
business at profit of fifty millions Of
dollars month.

In Wisconsin the rise is just as pro-

When the Democratic representative
in Congress from Tennessee, Mr.. Nc
Millin, madea speech last month on the
tariff question, he saw fit to make this
statement:
The laborer has been forced TO pay more
for the roof that shelters him, for the hat
that covers his head and the wOolens that
cover his back. He has had TO pay more
for the linen he wears, the hammer and
the hoe with which he works. Yet his
wages have not gone up one cent. What
benefit has increased protection been TO
him?
This is the demagogic way of discuss
ing tn, question of the tariff. To show
how near Mr.. McMillin tells the truth,
let us take some reliable figures from
the Dry Goods Economist, which is not
a partisan paper, but is rather of free
trade tendencies. In quoting prices of
standard cotton fabrics in April, 1890,
and in February, 1892, it gives the fol-
lowing:
