Protection ard she Farmer.
HORACE GREELEY.l


at seems to me self-evident that
protection tends to shorten the dis.
lance between the farmer and the
artesan and manufacturer, hence to
diminish the costs of exchanging
their respective products, and thus to
secure to the farmer not only surer
and steadier markets for his produce
but an ampler recompcnse for his
labors. Such are the conclusions that
long ago made me a protectionist
Distant markets ere all but inevitably
inconsistent, uncertain markets.
Europe has deficient harvests one
year and buys grain of us quite free
ly, but next year her harvests arc
bounteous and she requires very little
more food than she produces, no
matter how freely we may be buying
of her fabrics. Hence our wheat
now sells very far below the price
which ruled here when Europe had a
meager harvest. A remote market
virtually restricts the farmer to two
or three great staples, while near
markets enable him 10 diversity his
products and thus maintain and in
crease the productive capacity of the
SOIL"

The Hon. William j. Stone Of
Kentucky, speaking at M~aysville, Mo.
said:
off Mr.. Harrison should be elected
to succeed himself, and by any posi-
bility the Republicans should gain the
lower house of Congress, as sure as
there is a Lord in heaven a force bill
will be passed. If this should be done,
and l were your Governor, l would
spit upon the federal statutes; would
use all the power of the State 10 pre-
vent its enforcement, and if federal
officers, possibly from Chicago, should
come into our State on election day
noising about the judges tables we
would take them by the heels and
throw them into the Mississippi River
for food for the fishes"

Judge Lippincott, of Jersey City, in
closing up the case of the convicted
Democratic ballot-box-stuffers of that
city, made the following forcible and
timely remarks: ave have the right
to invoke the power of the people to
prevent the repetition of this offense.
The equality of man demands it. In
the successful presence Of this ill.,
iquity the people become abject; the
voice of the teller ON the sea and on
the land is utterly silcnced. Govern
ment becomes the dictation of the
petty boss, not the expression of the
popular will. Labor has no elevation
or dignity. Under such government
childhood is stunted; manhood has no
vigor, and age no ease. 1t must be
exterminated root and branch, or
political parties and the vigor of a
free government will decay aud perish
under it."

No subject has been nor fertile of
speculation than the origin of Ian
guages. Many maintain that the Ian
guage spoken by Adam is lost, and
that the Hebrew, Chaldee and Arabic
are only dialects of the original
tongue. Goropius published a work
in 1880 to prove that Dutch was the
language spoken in Paradise. Andre
Kemp maintained that God spoke to
Adam in Swedish, Adam answered
in Danish, and Eve spoke in French,
whilst the Pcrsians believe three lam
gusges to have been spoken in para
dise-Arabic, the most persuasive, by
the serpent; Persian, the most poetic,
by Adam and Eve; and Turkish, the
most threatening, by the angel Gabriel.

The change of government in the
Argentine Republic is not in the
nature of a revolution. The term OF
Office of Signor Pellegrini, who has
resigned because of irreconciliable
differences with the Congress, would
have expired on tine 18th of October,
and Congress has simply antedated
President Saenz-Peffa commission a
few weeks by asking him to take the
Office during the interim before his
regular term would begin. There is
not likely. therefore, to be any partic-
ular disturbance. In fact the change
will probably conducc to the peace
and quiet of the country.

The Democratic State Convention

Olympia on Wednesday to indorse
the national platform, failed to adopt
its resolutions, and after a stormy

loose. The disorder of the meeting
was Enthusiastically Democratic,
yet those present deserve some credit
for being unable to indorse such a
platform as they were compelled TO
consider.

Special Treasury Agent Aver esti.
mates that our tin-plato production
at the close of the present fiscal year
will be at the rate of 20G, OOO, O0C
pounds per year. Such a prospect
for an industry but little over one
year old illustrates the enterprise
and pluck of America capital. 1t is
this progressive and patriotic spirit
which, hand in hand with the Re-
publican policy of protection, has
made this country the most generous
of all toward labor and the safest for
capital. Here more than in any
other nation the interests of capital
and labor recognized as identical, and
here through demagpgues may rant
at the union, the two are destined
ultimately to work out a future that
shall excite the envy of every other
people on the globe.
Such progress as has been made in
the making Of tin plate proves this.
1t show what America can do when
resolutely enters upon such al
undertaking. The figures are taken
sworn reports, and therefore,
be disputed even by the most
ardent advocate of the use of Welsh
lin-plate.

There is a tradition of a little boy
who, being asked if he did not feel
proud now that he was able to recite
the whole alphabet, said: NAV;
feel as if I'd done a heap of work
and made a mighty little pile Of
chips" We think that those who
have had TO read, or who were forced
to hear, the speeches designed to serve
as keynOtes for the Iowa Democrats
in convention assembled will feel that
the labor of composing the speeches
was out of proportion to the useful.
ness of them. If all that can be said
to the Democratic State Convention
against the Republican policy of pro-
lection is that the iron industry is
protected and that there is trouble in
the Homestead iron mills, and that.
therefore, protection is a failure as a
means conducting to high wages, is
better had go unsaid. Yet this was
all hat the aorators of the day" had
to say.
1t is pretty well known by this
time that the wages, ever the reduced
scale of wages, offered by the Home
stead mills to American workmep
range vastly higher, in many cases
four times as high, in a few cases
eight times as high, and in no case
less than 20 per cent higher, than rule
in English iron mills. Hence it fol
lows that if protection be withdrawn
further reduction Of wages is all but
inevitable.
Weak is not the word to be used in
speaking of the oratory at the Iowa
convention; feeble is better, and
insane better still.

This country makes one-third OF

in its factories one-fourth of the cot

Be master of your business but
avoid being masterful. A general
may command both the confidence
and the esteem of his men without
being a martinez, q woman may rule
her own household without being a
scold, and a farmer may have the
happy faculty of SO conducting his
business a. to possess himself of the
willing cooperation of his hired help
and command with his head rather
than his tongue. Not only does a
soft answer turn away wrath, but
orders issued and instructions given
in happy language are apt to inspire
both team and man and to make work
much more easy and agreeable.
Every man should know his own
business and to be successful must
be master of it, but the first requisite
to succe is to be master of himself
and especially of his tongue.
