ECAN TRUST THEIR DELEGATES.

The Minneapolis Times tries to con-
vince itself that because the Repub-
licans are not generally instructing
their delegates for President Harri-
son he stands but little show of being
re-nominated. The fact of the mat
ter is the Republicans are naming
men as delegates to the Minneapolis
convention in whom they have eX-
plicit confidence. They are men who,
when they gather in the flour city,
will consult the best interests of the
party and country. Such men do not
need instructions. Certain it is by
the Times own admission, that if
President Harrison is nominated the
Office will seek the man, and the spec
tacle will not be presented of the
administration packing the conven-
tion at Minneapolis in it's interests,
as was the case at St. Louis four years
ago.
1t is noticeable fact that the Dem
ocrats are having great deal to say
lately about the Republicans throw
ing the President overheard and TAX
ing up with new man. 1t is evident
the wish is father to the thought. The
Harrison administration has been a
growing one. 1t has been safe one
and has the confidence of the people.
The Democrats recognize this and
would prefer less formidable candi-
date.
But the Republicans are blessed
with good timber, and whether the
standard bearer is the present incum-
bent of the White House or whether
some other equally strong party lead
er, they will enter the campaign pre-
pared for winning fight.
Again, in regard to the delegates to
Minneapolis not being instructed, it
is noticeable that the great majority
of them are strong Harrison men and
they will be found supporting him at
Minneapolis.
1t is not to be denied that there are
Republicans opposed to the Presi-
dents denomination. 1t would in
deed be strange if such were not the
case. But in nearly every instance
this will be found to be merely per-
sonal matter disappointment in
the distribution of officas; not want
of confidence in him as safe hand to
guide the affairs of the country.

A LITTLE mere than year ago Gov.
Boies, of Iowa, made a speech at
banquet in the East, and in an at
tempt to make a point against the
protective system, he spoke of the
farmers of his State as crushed be-
meath the burdens imposed by the
tariff, and left the Impression that
they were upon the verge of pauper-
ism. But the farmers of that state
have given to the world practical
demonstration of the fact that their
governor misrepresented them as they
have donated ten solid trains of 300
cars loaded with corn for the starving
peasants of Russia. People crushed
under burdens that nearly pauperize
them cannot be as generous as this,
and the Governor Of Iowa ought to be
ashamed of the insult he cast upon
the people of his state in his attempt
to manufacture cheap political noto-
riety.

THE free traders say there is no tin
plate manufactured in this country,
but special Agent Aver, of the treas
ury department in his report to Sec
Rotary Foster upon the tin plate bust
ness says that for the quarter end
ing March 81, 1892, there were 19
manufacturers in the United States
who manufactured 1909, $3.50 pounds
tin plate, and 1904, 431 terne plates,
making total of 3,OO4,0S7 pounds
This is an increase of 1874, 266 pounds
over the previous quarter. Still it is
just like the free traders to continue
their falsehOod.

ALACK OF STAE SMANHIP.

The Sioux City Journal says that the
sheep industry is making rapid prog
ress in South Dakota, and has long
since passed the experimental stage.
In fact, it is becoming one of the
greatest industries of that State, and
those engaged in it do not look with
favor upon the movement put forth
by Democratic Statesmen" in Wash
ington to place their product upon the
free list, and thereby benefit the Aus
tralian sheep raiser to their detri-
ment. The Journal also thinks that
if the said Democratic Statesmen"
are honest in their pretensions of love
for the farmer, they would have at
tached reciprocity clause to their
free wool bill the same as was done
with free sugar, whereby this country
might gain few advantages in eX-
change for the many given. They at
first declared that reciprocity was a
good thing as far as it went; that it
was free trade in sections. But,
scared at it's popularity, they now
sneer at it and term it 'deluSiOn
and a snare" Their free wool bill
would destroy an industry which
brings many thousands of dollars to
American farmers, and secure to them
nor the nation nothing in return.
There is hardly question but that
if conditions were such that a free
wool bill should be placed upon our
statute books, valuable commercial
relations would be obtained with sew
eral countries through reciprocal
clause. While these commercial adj
vantages might not fully repay the
damage wrought by such legislation,
they would be much better than moth
ing. OF course there is no danger of
the enactment Of free wool legislation
at present, but this oversight of Mr..
Springer and his associates in neglect
ing to insert such provision in their
bill, well illustrates the lack Of states
manship which exists within the free
trade ranks. And it is brought more
plainly to view when we glance at
the success which has attended the
reciprocity clause in the Mckinley
law relative to free sugar, which Pres
ident Harrison and Secretary Blaine
have so ably put into operation.

THE Democrats are disappointed at
the harmony which existed in the Re-
publican conventions of Ohio and
New York. They had been predict

ventions met, but instead they found
two of the most enthusiastic politi-

publicans are not fighting among
themselves this year. They are solid

THE free free trader, sore at heart
because of it's success, says that reci-

The Republicans are sending some
representative men to the Minneapo-

Gov. Mckinley and ex-Goy. Foraker,
and New York sends Messrs. Miller,
Depew, Platt and Hlscock, and from
other states are coming men equally
as strong and influential in national
affairs. Minnesota Republicans
should take note of this and select
their ablest representatives for that
occasion.

1he salt manufacturers association
of Michigan has agreed to make the
salt exhibit for the state, and will get
up a display which, doubtless, will
attract great beal of attention. A
Bay City man has made life study
of salt manufacturing. and has
learned the methods practiced in all
ages for making salt. 1t is the in
tention to have him make models
of all salt manufacturing apparatus
used from the earliest days down to
the present time, from the primitive
to the modern salt blocks, and in con.
nection with the models show all the
processes now practiced in producing
salt. The association will, of course,
show full line of salt.
San Miguel county, New Mexico, is
planning to place in the Women's

THE Democrats talk of the McKin-
ley law as though it's friends thought
it to be a most perfect piece of legis-
lation. But the most ardent advocates
of the law probably never looked
upon it in that light. They recognize
that it is not perfect, but do claim
that it cannot be improved upon by
the Democratic retail method adopted
by the present House. The enemies
of measure are not the best parties
to be intrusted with it's imperfectiOns.

lection is exclusively in the interest of a
few thousand capitalists, who employ only
per cent of our working population, and
who would continue to employ them against
all foreign competition if there were no
tariff at all.
The protection" scheme enables the
manufacturer to sell his plows, reapers
and manufactures of all sorts from 25 to
80 per cent. cheaper 70 Mexicans and South
American Indians than he does to our own
citizens.
Not a single factory would shut down

have earned is spent here" it doesn't
matter who spends It.
Everything the farmer has to sell is sold
at the worlds cheapest prices. Almost
everything he has TO buy is bought at pro-
lection prices-from 10 TO 100 per cent,
dearer than in any other civilized country.
Protection has given half the wealth of

THE TARIFF ARGUMENT

1t can be shown to anyone that will in
vestigate, that
If there were no farm surplus there
would be no tariff question. The farm sur
plus must be exported or it viii waste
The pay for exported farm products must
be imported manufactures.
Gold and silver are not the pay for our
exports. Ever since banking has been in
operation, goods are made to pay fer goods
through the exchange of credits.
When exports exceed imports, the "bal-
ance' is not paid in gold or in silver. 1t is
invested abroad. Never once in our his
tory have the official statistics shown that
favorable balance OF trade" has been
paid for in gold or silver.
If the United States or any other country
paid in gold and silver for its exports. il
would not have left q single gold or silver
coin after two years. Payment Of money
for goods between nations is impossible.
The man against whom the American
manufacturer asks 10 be protected IS the
American farmer. Imported manufactures
are really the pay for exported farm pro
duce and are therefore produced by Amer
lean farm labor. There IS no foreign "pau
per labor'' about them; they are the
products Of American farm labor.
When a cargo Of American -four is sent
to London, the returning ship is not loaded
up with gold and silver TO pay for it. as
protectionists and simpletons assert The
London bank issues a slip Of paper to the
merchant who receives the -four, which the
New York banks honor by immediate paw
ment to the man who sent the flour. This
leaves the London bank indebted to the
New York bank. Presently a cargo of
cloth is sent from London Tn New York.
and is paid for by the man who receives it
by means Of draft drawn on the London
bank through some New York bank. This
leaves the New York bank indebted to the
London bank and the accounts are thus
cancelled. Thus, indirectly, the flour pays
for the cloth.
since we must and do take our paw in
goods, the tariff simply reduces our paw by
lessening the amount Of goods we receive.
Both parties gain in trade, or the trade
viii stop. Hence, the desire of foreigners
TO trade with US and their disgust at our
tariff laws does not argue that repeal of
high tariffs is in the interest of foreigners.
This is the baby talk of protectionists. The
foreigners gain by trading with US, but we
gain far more than they.
We prevent other nations from buvinc
our products. when we tax imports for
goods are the only things with which anv
nation buys, and are also the only things
ever bought.
The demands of favored class and not
the public good cause the imposition of
taxes for the protection of the wealthy
against the competition of the dangerous
poor
In proportion as the tariff for protection
succeeds in keeping out the foreign articles
the consumers pay taxes to the manafac-
turer and not to the government.
