A FEW GEMS FROM JEFFERSON

A few days ago the Des Moines Reg
lister published extracts from the papers
Of Thomas Jefferson to show that the
founder,of the democratic party was q
protectionist, and not free trader, and
that if he were alive to-day he would
vote for the Mckinley bill. The e1-
tracts have been so keenly relished that
q few more have been added:
'To be Independent for the comforts
Of life we must fabricate for ourselves u
Letter to Benjamin Austin.
''We must now place the manufacturer
by the side of the agriculturist." From
the same.
"An equilibrium of agriculture, man
ufactures and commerce is certainly be-
come essential to our Independence
Letter to Governor Jay.
ITO protect the manufactures adapted
to our commerce, ETC., = these,
fellow citizens, are the landmarks by
which we are to guide ourselves in all
our proceedings" Second message to
congress.
These protection gems from the fathe,
of the democratic party ought to be
read by every democrat as well as re-
publican. They emphasize the distance
thut the democratic party has drifted
from the principles Of the man whose
memory they venerate to-day. The
protectionists are the ones who ought
to celebrate the birthday of Jefferson.
not the free traders. The only reason
why the protectionists do not celebrate
his birthday, is the fact that Jefferson
was the father of the doctrine of multi
6cation, which republican guns shot to
death on the battlefelds of the rebel
lion

POLITICAL CRIME.

From the Kansas City, Kan, Gazette.
The republicans of Florida have re-
solved not to put ticket in the field,
state, congressional or national, until
their rights are protected and their po-
litical liberty secured by the enactment
OF an effective national election law. In
justification of their position they detail
some of the most Infamous political and
other crimes known to history, resorted
to to suppress the voice of the people
and maintain democratic supremacy in
that region. In this way that party has
added 80 per cent to its power in the
sixteen southern states, and it uses this
power in direct antagonism to the known
opinions of the voters it robs of their
rights. This stolen power enables a
democrat in some of the states of the
south to exert two and three times the
political power any man, republican or
democrat, can exert in the north. The
democratic party has forty stolen
seats in congress from the south. The
Philadelphia Press brings this matter
home thus:
by viewing these crimes at long
range the northern people have never
been able to Justly estimate their enor-
nifty; but the stealing of the New York
legislature by the democrats, and the
elevation of one of the criminals to q
seat on the bench of high court, have
given an opportunity to test northern
public sentiment on this question. Hon
est democrats as we'll as republicans
have stood bewildered at the brazen
efrontery of Hill, Maynard and Tam
many and asked themselves if such
crimes are permitted what is to become
of the rights of the citizens? Their ap-
prehension is fully justified, and they
can obtain some faint idea of the feeling
of southern republicans such as those in
Florida, who see themselves robbed of
their political rights year after year,
and every attempt to punish these
crimes met with the ostracism or MUIR
der of those who seek to have Justice
done. An atonement for these political
crimes of the democratic south will have
to be made sooner or later, and it will be
we'll for the north if this atonement is
made at the demand of an outraged
public sentiment, and before business
disaster or civil commotion forces set
Element of the question whether vote
in the north shall count for as much as q
vote in the south"

THE TARIFF IS A TAX

From the Emporia Republican.
If protection does enable the farmer
to get better prices for his wool, what
becomes of the argument that the con-
sumner does not pay the tariff.-Wichita
Beacon.
This is what becomes of it: Without
protection the American farmer would
be driven out of the wool industry; he
could not begin to compete with the
eign countries. Nothing can be clearer
than this, since it's truth has been firmly
established by past experience. Then,
the tariff being removed and American
competition being wiped out, is it proba-
BILE that the foreign producers would
waive a natural law of commerce for the
benefit of American consumers, and
maintain prices at lower figure than
necessary? On the other hand, is it
not likely that they would follow the
course of all other monopolies and put
the price at the highest possible point,
even above that required by the present
tariff law?
With most articles the theory that
''the tariff is tax" is proven false by
actual, everyday experience. Many
articles upon which there is an import
duty can be bought in any American
market for less than the amount of the
duty. In a few cases, however, as in
wool, it may be that the consumer &C
tually pays the tax; but it is equally
true that he would continue to pay the
usual price, and even more, were the
tariff removed. That is to say, free
wool would benefit no one, while it
would greatly injure the American
farmer.
But suppose the farmers continue to
struggle along in the wool industry un-
der free trade. Has it never occurred
to the Beacon that an article can be too
cheap as well as too high? Has not
the Beacon complained with the farmer
when the price of corn went below
the point where it could be produced
as a profit, and has it not rejoiced with
him when the price advanced?
The democratic party has all along
professed to believe that the tariff is
only in the interest of the s.robber
barons" Of the east, but when they get
to the point where they have to quit
preaching and go to practicing, they
strike the first blow at that part of the
tariff which the farmer is especially in
terested in maintaining.

INDIANA CAN NOW SEE HOW 1T
WORKS.
From the Indianapolis Journal.

From the Indianapolis Journal.
An effort is being made to have Ger
man plate glass put upon the free list.
This is a matter in which Indiana, as
one of the leading producers of plate
glass is interested. Every democrat in
congress from Indiana, to carry out the
free trade policy, would vote to put
German plate, controlled by foreign
trust, on the free list, at the request of
speculative importers, and thereby strike
down the growing glass industry of In
diana, running investors and robbing
thousands of workmen of employment.

ANOTHER TRIUMPH FOR PRO-
LECTION.

From the Buffalo Commercial.
We read in the New York Evening
Post that the United States is fast
crowding Switzerland out of the watch
market, and there is no part of the world,
no matter how remote, where the tick OF
the American watch cannot be heard.
To-day American factories turn out 3d.
600 watches week. This is something
surely for which American manufactures
can thank the protective tariff.

Meaning of Sophomore"

Says Cincinnati literary man: Il used
to think that the word sophomore was
made up of the Greek word signifying
wise and the English word more The
word was thus applicable. l thought, to
the second class in a college, because
they were more wise than their fellows
in their own estimation. But it seems
that the word has a purer genealogy and
meaning even less f1attering to the
class Of collegians to whom it is applied
1t was first used at the University of
Cambridge, England, and in its infancy
appeared in the form 'soph-mor.' 1t was
composed of the word 'soph,' contrac-
ton for 'Sophister,' and a Greek word
meaning foolish (moroS).
The college course extended over
three years and one term. The respect
i've classes Of students were termed
freshmen, or first year men; junior
sophs or soph-mors, senior sophs and

transferred 10 the American higher in

freshmen, juniors and seniors still exists,
while it has wholly disappeared on the

Total Eclipses of the SUN.

Every year there must be two eclipses
Of the sun, and there may be FIVE. These
are partial echpses, however, except in
the comparatively rare case in which the
moon passes nearly centrally over the
suns disk and produces total obscura-
ton of his light. Since the invention of
the spectroscope, in 1860. there have
been barely a score of total eclipses, and
8 number of these could not be observed
because the belt of totality fell at the
earth's polar regions or upon the oceans.
The belt of totality is narrow strip
never more than 40 miles wide-w here
the point of the moons shadow falls upon
the earth. Total eclipses rarely occur.
therefore, at the same point Of the earth.

no total eclipse since the year Ii40. ex-
