wealth.

The course Of the Democrats in in
cooperating into the Congressional Rec
ord Henry Georges book on "Protec-
ton or Free Trade" and circulating that
work throughout the country at the ex-
pense Of the government, is q matter OF
special significance to farmers and other
landowners. Saying nothing of the
abuse of the Record, and Of the copy
right privileges in circulating private
works ut public expense, it should be
understood that in this work, AZ in his
other semi-communistic treatlses, Hen
~ George really argues for his single
tax on land and the exemption of
stocks. bonds, mortgages and oil other
tree-trade-the abolition of all taxes on
imported articles-not for itself alone,
but in order to compel the government
to raise all its revenues by greatly in
creased taxes on land. In order that
these levies may be heavy enough to
crush out and destroy all the capital
value of land, George wants to cut the
government of from the power of tax
ing anything else but land. His plan is
to take taxes off personal property and
all kinds Of imported articles, in order
tina. they may be put on the land. He
wants free trade in order to allow the
government no choice, but compel 1t
to raise all it's by taxing land.
And this ia the doctrine which the
Democratic party 10 trying to inculcate

E
The two days speech of Senator Sher-
man on the Stewart silver bill is un-
doubtedly the greatest speech he has
ever made. More tnan that, it ia prob
ably the Rreatest speech that was ever
madc in the Senate on any financial
question. 1t is interesting to note that
Mr.: sherman, alter speaking two hours
and q hall on Tuesday, said that he was
not at all tired and was ready to 60 on
and finish then. This was said in repiv
to = suggestion that the Senate should
adjourn. For one who has passed his
6Ath year this is surely q remarkable ex.
hibition Of mental and physical powers.
Such q speech. covering not only the
silver question. but the whole range of
national finance, can not be reviewed
in detail within the limits Of q ne VS..
paper article. All That IAN be said
about details is that Mr.. sherman has
not merely q we'll furnished mind on
the whole range of topics embraced in
his discourse, but 30 well furnished
that there is no point too small TO have
escaped his attention or his memory.
Consequently he can not be tripped at
any stage OF his journey. Anybody can
see that If he makes concessions here
aud there to the silver folly, they are
only such as he considers necessary in
a political fense. Give him a clear field,
such 81 the statesmen and financiers

A Close shave for Bismarck.

1t is perhaps not generally known
that when he was a young man Els
marck was for some time an official re-
porter for one of the courts Of justice.
In those days his temper sometimes got
the better Of him. but upon one occa-
sion, AT least, his wit saved him from
disgrace. This was when questioning q
witness the latter made an impudent
retort, whereupon Bismarck exclaimed
angrily: IF you are not moro respect
full | shall kick you out Of the room"
Young man." said the judge, interrupt
ing the proceeding. II would have you
understand that this is q dignifed court
OF justice, and that il any kicking is to
be done the court will do it," "Ah,

in order to create . home market for
their products.
They had all the farmers they wanted,
but we're suffering for . non-agricultural
population to buy what thSy raised.
They could not sell their wheat and
vegetables to one another.
From the first our tariff system has
depended for it's maintenance in every
election on farmers votes. They re-
membered how vretched they were
when all were agriculturists, and how
protection brought them relief exactly
% the framero of the first tariff had
predicted. So nothing has ever been
able to wsan the American farmer from
bis love for Washington's and Hanil-
ton's,and Jefferson'san and Madison's pro-
tective policy. And the free-trade 're-
former" is unable to do so to-day.
which has few factories, selling on the
poorer land Of Pennsylvania with
many factories, brings $40 an acre.
In Mississippi, devoted exclusive g
to agriculture, land sells for less than IS
an acre, but brings $42 in sterile, but
manufacturing, Massachusetts.
The average in Georgia, where mills
are almost unknown, is between "a and
s. per acre; but in New Jersey, with all
its swsmps and clay beds, the average
value Of land is $50.
So the farmers continue, and will con-
tinue, to vote for protection and against
free r,ade, because they do not want to
vote away one-half the value of their
farms.
And who can blame them for it?
Prices OF Coifons Under Free Trade and
Under Protection.
The difference between theory and
fact in regard to free trade can be seen
in the following comparative prices OF
cottons during fourteen years Of rev.
enue tariff, which is practically free
trade, and during fourteen years of pro-
lection. The figures are taken from the
market reports:

the animal opened its mouth and
