a common argument of the protec-
tionists is, that if it were not for high
tariff taxation, all the workers in the
factories would be thrown out of en-
ployment and be compelled to go to
farming to gain livelihood; and thus
be brought into competition with those
already engaged in agriculture. Well,
If the American farmer must buy off
competition at home by supporting his

tions, and then sell the surplus of his
products in the free trade markets of
the world, his lot is hard one. sure
enough! But he isn't compelled to
do any such thing. A just revision
and reduction of federal taxation
would increase the prosperity of every
legitimate home industry, and the
only competition which the American
farmer would have to fear would be
such as the augmented profits of his
calling would attract.

Old Hickory as a Protectionist,

The impudence of the Republicans in
this campaign is far above par. They
are even claiming Andrew jackson as q
protectionist! Their desperate attempt
to extract few grains of comfort from
the result of the Vermont and Maine
elections has shown them to have the
capacity of being ''contented wi little"
but what comfort can they find in the
following words from Old Hickory's
farewell address: 1.-THE corporations
and wealthy individuals who are en-
gagged in large manufacturing establish
ments desire high tariff to increase
their gains. Designing politicians will
support it to conciliate their favor and
to obtain the means of profuse expendi-
ture for the purpose of purchasing in
fuence in other quarters. Do not allow
yourselves, my fellow citizens, to be
misled on this subject. The federal
government cannot collect surplus for
such purposes without violating the
principles of the constitution and as
Stunning powers which have not been
granted. 1t is, moreover, system of
injustice, and if persisted in will inev-
itably lead to corruption and must end
in ruin"

Is youched for as an upright man and
an eminently worthy citizen, by all of
his many acquaintance, regardless of
their party preferences. Last week we
reprinted from that stalwart republican
newspaper, The Richland Republican
Observer, an article testifying in the
strongest manner possible to his ster-
ling qualities. The following high re-
commentator is also contributed by a
paper from his home county, The
Richland Democrat:
Mr.. krouskop is farmer, manu- fac
turer, and merchant. He was born in
Logan county, Ohio, July 80, 1910.
In the year 1852 his father, the late
jacob Krouskop came west locating
near Sextonville, this county. In this
vicinity Mr.. Krouskop acquired his
education which particularly fitted him
for the business career which has fol-
lowed. He engaged on small scale
in the mercantile trade at Sextonville.
where he remained for few years.
With a natural business ability coupled
with unusal ambition for man Of his
age, he soon became dissatisfied with
his limited prospects and in 1868
moved to this city, Immediately en-
barking in general business. Here
under his personal supervision has the
once little mercantile business grown
to one of enormus proportions, COM
prising not alone the one branch of
business life, but extending over all
the branches named above. His farm

ing interests are also extensive and
while he necessarily has large num-
Der of employees constantly engaged in
active tilling Of the soil, his watchful
eye ever guides and controls the In
dustries thereof.
The bright business career has not,
however, been without it's discourging
aspects. Four times in a few short
years has the fire demon laid low
large portions of the mercantile and
manufacturing plants, mourning heavy
losses to the owner. But with persist
ent energy has Mr.. krouskop each
time replaced the plants, larger and
better; and even now there arises from
the ashes of recent fire structure
which means daily bread to many adj
ditional workingmen.
The district which, should he be
elected, Mr.. Krouskop will represent,
comprises the counties of Adams,
Crawford, Grant, Iowa, Juneau, Rich
land, Sank and Vernon, as rich and
prosperous group of counties as the
state can boast of, having an aggre-
gate population Of 1882, The dis
trict was mapped out as easily and
normally Republican. In 1888 the coun-
ties comprised therein gave Harrison a
plurality of about 5000. In 1890 a
decided change of public opinion is
shown to have taken place and these
counties on congressional vote gave a
democratic plurality of IA. This
year, with a strong candidate before
the people it is sincerely believed that
the district may be carried for tariff
for revenue only"

From the columns of some of our
republican newspapers, one would
suppose that republican editors had
patented the word american and
secured to themselves its exclusive
use. But surely the dissolution of the
6. 0. p. is nigh, when its adherents can
only prate of their excessive zeal for
the protective system, while they de-
nounce all who who oppose them, as
being unpatriotic and un-American.
There is admonition for them as well
as world of truth in Hoods lines:
man may cry church, church, at every word
With no more piety than other people;
daw g not reckoned a religious bird
Because it keeps a-cawing from a steeple
The man who cries "American at
every word, and yet supports system
tariff robbery that ought to put a
blush of shame on the cheek of
every right thinking American citi-
zen, is surely in no condition to i'm.
pugn the patriotism of other people,
and his cawing has as little sense or
meaning in it as the jackdaw's from
the steeple.

TO say that so-called protection,
which shuts out competition, reduces
prices, is an absurdity; but that tariff
reform reduces prices is a certainty.
Some years ago, when quinine was
protected with tariff tax, it sold as
high as $3.50 an ounce; and now. being
on the free list, it sells at about fifty
cents per ounce. And the cost of
sugar has been lowered more than
one half by removing the tariff tax
alton from raw sugar.

A. III. Krouspkop for Congress.

The Richland Democrat.
In nominating Mr.. Krouskop, the
convention made no mistake, and the
unanimity of purpose with which the
nomination was made, the candidate
being selected without previous can
vass for the position, is certainly an
open acknowledgment to his well
known qualifications, and gratifying
compliment to his county. The fight
is now on hand, add the host of unter-
rifed democracy in the district must
wage an aggressive battle, and if vic
tory is yielded to the the opposition,
let it be after having made the best
possible showing.
