1T CUT DOWN THE PROFITS.

In the west the song of the free ira
der is that the tariffoppresses the con-
sumer and enriches the manufacturer.
But when this same free trader goes
into Rhode Island or Massachusetts.
the song is varied little and he fav-
ors free raw material so as to enable
the poor over taxed manufacturer of
this country to compete with the for
eign maker of the same article. But
these little Inconsistencies are of little
moment to the advocate of the Brit
ish system. But when he comes to
talk about the duty being added to
the price of the article and the manu-
facturer growing enormously rich at
the expense of the people, he general
ly runs against facts which tell diff
ferent story.
Probably next to tin plate, what the
Democrats have pleased to call the
greatest outrage of the Mckinley
law has been the increase of duty on
pearl buttons. They have pronounced
it simply move to enrich few man
ufacturers in this country. But it
seems that this provision of the Nc
Kinley law has created competition
in that industry, which does not al
low the reaping of the alleged large
profits, as can be noted by the follow
ing, which we clip from the Findlay,
Ohio, Republican,, which vouches for
it as the testimony of a Newark, New
Jersey, producer of pearl buttons, who
is also staunch Democrat. 1t shows
conclusively that a goodly portion of
the benefits of protection go the con-
sumner.
L am not in favor of the McKinley
bill, because | am free trader: and
then, too, don't think it has been a
good thing for the manufacturers.
There have been, of course, a good
many people going into business and
this has created such q IUely cOmpeti
tom among the manufacturers that ace
haze to sell oar goods at veru loov rates.
and there as little profit in the business
for US. At the same time we are
oDllged to pay our hands higher eoages
than we did before the Mckinley bill
was passed, as there is now more de-
mand for labOr.S At the same time we
are selling our manufactured goods at
much lower rate than we did before
the bill became law, for the reason
that large number of new factories
that have sprung up under it's opera
tlon have caused a competition that
has compelled us to lower our price to
such an extent that even with the
present high tariff shutting out for
eign competition, buttons are sold
cheaper to day than they were ever
before. The effect of the Republican
protective tariff has been greatly to
increase the wages of the workingman
and also to prevent the concentration
of the trade in the hands of few
manufacturers, as it was three years
ago, when five or six firms controlled
the whole in the city.

PROBABLY there is no man in Eng
land whom Queen Victoria hates as
badly to call upon for the purpose Of
forming a ministry, as she does upon
Gladstone. And yet affairs have
taken such a turn, that she must
either do so or follow the advice of
one of her royal advisors and abdicate
the throne. Victoria is bitterly op-
posed to home rule, and in her eyes
Gladstone is not most loyal subject
because of the part he has played tG
bring about the growth of such a
sentiment. But she is merely a figure
head in the British government, and
Gladstone will be the real head of the
government. Such are the changes
of time. From being royal rulers by
divine right, Victoria is merely
queen upon the pleasure of the Eng
lish people.

So far this year the Republicans of
Minnesota have made unusually
strong selections in their congressional
nominations, and the strength, ability
and clean records of these men will
commend them to the voters of their
respective districts as well as the fact
that they stand upon the right side OF
the great questions of the day, and
are thoroughly conversant with them.
The election of such delegation will
give Minnesota standing and in
fluence at Washington that will
measure up to its Importance as one
of the members of the republic, and
such as it does not at present enjoy.

was one of the Alliance-Democratic
representativestwo years ago land who
was placed upon the state electoral
ticket of the peoples party at their
late state convention, has withdrawn
as a candidate on the same, and

THE Democrats of this state in
their platform denounce protection as
fraud and favor free trade. The re-
personalities of that party in the
Chicago convention favored the pro-
tective ideas of the plank reported by
the committee. but as the convention
objected and went free trade pure and
simple, of course the party in Mime
sofa must swallow it., no matter how
bitter. In the meantime, in the sober
quiet of their homes, in the light of
the facts that have been disclosed
from time to time, as to the advan-
tages that have been obtained through
the Mckinley law, the people will
carefully consider where a change is
going to be of any benefit to them.
And it may be remarked, the free
traders will have to give them some
thing more substantial than theories
to bolster up their case.

THE Democrats who have been pre-
dieting that ex-Secretary Blaine would
sulk in his tent this fall, are doomed
to disappointment. Mr.. Blaine will
take the stump and do all he can
toward securing Republican victory
this year. Had those smart Demo
cratic photographers stopped to con-
slider the matter they would have
known that this is Mr.. Blaine's
style. He is every inch Republican.

THE PRICE NOT INCREASED BY
THE DUTY.

The LeSueur Sentinel publishes let
ter which is said to have been written
by Mike Doran, the we'll known Dem
ocratic leader of this state, to Gov.
Mckinley, in which Mr.. Doran says
he has seen it stated that the Gov
ernor claims that foreigners pay the
duty upon articles imported into this
country. He then recites how his
aunt in Ireland sent him a dozen
pairs of socks, worth about twenty
cents per pair, and that he had to pay
duty of twenty-five cents per pair,
and wants to know how it comes that
he had to pay this duty, if foreigners
are in the habit of paying it. This is
on par with the twaddle the free
traders usually bring against the pro-
tective system, The question in the
letter, which the Sentinel calls "a
point well TAKEN" in no way conflicts
with any statement we have seen
made by Gov. Mckinley. Mr.. Doran
say OudU OuOoC oOCho dlC WI Ou dUOOU
twenty cents per pair in this country.
This being so, there is nothing plain
er than the fact that if these socks
had been manufactured to sell in this
country, the party manufacturing
them would be obliged to pay the duty,
or keep out of the market, as no one
here would pay it when he could get
the home manufactured article for
less than the tariff imposed, and that
tariff, according to Mr.. Doran's state
ment, being greater than the home
price of the article, they would proba-
bly, stay out of our market.
There is one fact in connection with
these socks which should not be al
lowed to escape public attention. Mr..
Doran says the socks are worth twen-
ty cents pair here, and that the du-
ty on them is twenty-five cents per
pair. Here then, is a free traders
statement showing that the tariff is
not added to the price of the Ameri-
can made socks, for they are selling for
less than the duty imposed upon them
hence the tariff in that case imposes
no hardship upon the purchaser. How
ever, there is no question but what
the Democrats will keep on telling
that the laboring man is taxed 125
per cent for the socks he wears, when
the fact of the matter is he does not
pay cent tax. And what is true in
this case is true of nearly every other
article among the necessaries of life.

faced amalgamation allies of the north
All remember with what zeal and
persistency the great amalgamated
organs, the Globe and it's followers and
the heavy calibre organ in this city,
opposed raising a sufficient amount in
this state, refused by the last misceg-
enation legislature to make respect
able exhibit for the state. OF course
they approve this disgraceful exhibit
tion of anarchism by their represent
atives in congress. At least to this
they have been as dumb incOndemn-
ing, if they do condemn. as were the
dogs of the prophets of old. 1t is not
to be wondered at, that Democratic
veteran, possessinga moderate degree
of manly independence and patriotic
love of country should, in view of the
action of the amalgamated congress,
have said to the writer
not long since, 81 thought we
would scoop you this fall, but 1 am
afraid this d congress will scoop
us before the time comes.
A few sun-strokes judiciously ap-
piled on the heads of the amalgamat-
ed leaders could not be regarded as a
wanton waste of elemental force.
They have made history. B.

WHEN Bismark was at the head Of
the German government he did not
think much of newspapers. Now
that he is out of power he thinks a
free press would be good thing for
Germany. Strange how mans mind
will change in regard to matters.
Still tits human nature to desire to
see your enemies fully criticised.

THE Democrats call the resolutions
favoring the re-electing of Senator G..
K. Davis, which have been passed by
the Republican state convention, and
and the various congressional and

sickening to the Democrats to see
how united the Republicans are upon
Senator Davis, in spite of all said
Democratic assertions to the contrary.
