INGALLS, on the Force niIL.

Congressman John G.. Tarsney, of
Kansas City, chairman of the committee
on labor of the house of representatives,
and who was a gallant Union officer,
wounded at Gettysburg, was at Demo-
cratic headquarters in New York re-
Gently and said:
1 have just received the newspapers
of Sunday from my home and they give
an account of Senator Ingalls, speech
delivered at Topeka, Kan, last Satur-
day. None of the New York or eastern
papers seems to have printed an extract
Of it. 1 was particularly interested in
his speech regarding negro domination
in the south. Ingalls, was always the
''bloody shirt" waver of his party, and
no matter what may be said of him you
may always admire Ingalls, for being
candid. He has the courage of his con-
victions, and he certainly has always
represented his party faithfully on Sec
tional issues.
He says regarding the south and the
force bill: 81 affirm that the mission of
Republicanism will never be accom-
plished until it is just as safe for any
public man to speak in Georgia as it is
in Kansas. would great deal rather
have negro domination in the south
than the administration that prevails at
the present time. If the Republican
party cannot remedy this trouble in the
south and secure honest elections, then
it is time that it should go out of bust
ness and permit some other party to
come in"
| This certainly shows that the force
bill is being urged for a reason of Re.
publican success in the west. l don't
see how the Republicans can deny any
longer that they are making any show
| of it.

DAME, o.Conne,1 on Protection.

In his great speech against the high
tariff corn laws in the British parliament
in 1e43 the matchless orator, Daniel
O'Connell, said: "But what is the mean
ing of protection? 1t means an addi-
tional sixpence for each loaf; that is the
Irish of it. If he had not the protection
the loaf would sell for shilling; but if
he has protection it will sell for one and
sixpence. Protection is the English for
sixpence, and, what is more, it is the
English for an extorted sixpence. The
real meaning of protection, therefore, is
robbery-robbery of the poor by the
rich"
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1892-10-28

Mr. BLAINE's physical infirmities may
partly explain the ,undisguised and IN
paralleled plea for Irish votes because Of
the supposed hatred of that class of citi-
zens against Great Britain. Mr. Blaine's
appeal to Irishmen goes further in the
way of denationalizing our politics than
any previous effort of this kind. Ap-
peals to Irishmen, or any other for
eigners, that they should decide Ameri-
can questions on their race prejudices,
and on the ground of harming the
country from which they emigrated,
form a species of electioneering "more
honored in the breach than in the
observance" And what are Irishmen
called upon to do by this speech? They are
asked to condition their. suffrage upon
their antipathy to Great Britain, from
which home rule must come, if at all.
More than that, they are invited to do
something which may materially
weaken the influence of the'great liberal
leader in England, tGladstone, who
needs all his political strength in order
to secure real local government for Ire.
land. Indeed, the effect of this speech
must be SO unpleasant upon the country
wherever self-respecting American feel
ing is not held in allegiance for politics
that it is impossible to believe that il
could not have had the countenance Of
the republican managers. =-

sHERMAN's FALSE NOTE.

The Ohio Senator Comes to the Defense of
1IcKinleyism with Incorrect Figures.
In recent speech Senator Sherman is
reported to have said in sounding the
praises of the Mckinley law:
SIT had enlarged our foreign imports
to 1897 100000 in q single year, an in
crease of 81, 200, 900 more than any pre-
vious year, and in that same period had
increased our exports to a figure $780,,
100000 greater than was ever reached
before"
But this is all wrong. The treasury
reports do show, as claimed by the dis
inguished senator, that our imports for
the year ending June 80, 1899, amounted
| to 1897 ,000, 900, but they also show that
imports for 1891 were 1914, 900, 900.
Thus, instead of an excess of $72, O0O, 900
this year, there is an actual falling off
of SIT 200, 900 in imports.
Senator Sherman's statement as to ex-
ports is also false. While we exported
$132, 900 900 more in value in 1899 than
in 1891, the excess this year over 1881 is
only $127, 100000.
But the senator's claim that the in
crease in our exports was due to the Nc
Kinley tariff law will strike the intelli-
gent farmer as decidedly cool. Every
body knows that our large exports for
the fiscal year 1899 were caused by our
enormous crops in 1891 and the partial
failure of crops in Europe at the same
time. The treasury reports show an
increase of 1854 100000 in exports of
wheat and corn alone, including flour
and cornmeal.
| Was this due to the Mckinley lawi
Did reciprocity do it? The SO called
reciprocity countries took not more than
81, OOO, 900 more of these articles thar
they did without reciprocity. Our great
increase of exports went almost entirely
: to Europe and consisted of farm produce
Will anybody be so rash as to claim
that our farmers sent to Europe more
grain and cotton and meats by reason O.
the Mckinley law? Any farmer of or
binary intelligence knows that the Nc
Kinley law can only operate to Gu
down the foreign demand for his prod
ucts. When the farmer learns that gu
imports Of tin plates and other forms O
n iron manufactures fell off $25, ZOO, 900 il
1 1899 as compared with 1891; that sill
goods fell off $7,O0O,O 900; wooden goods
$5,5OO,OOO; cotton goods, 1900, 900, h
will see at once that in shutting out tn
only things which Europe has to pa.
for his products with the high tarit
law must necessarily narrow the foreig1
market for his products. Europe ha
not sent us any gold or silver over an
above what we sent there, and cannc
do so. The only things Europe has
send US for wheat and corn and cotto
and meats are dry goods, tin plates
glass, crockery, etc. When we shut OF
these things we shut out the paymer
for what our farmers raise, and SO tn
price of farm products is inevitably d.
pressed by the Mckinley tariff.

THE modern souvenir spoon, which
has become a burden and almost a
nuisance, doubtless owes it's origin to
the still existent Apostles spoons,
which in sets of twelve or less were a
common Christmas gift in the sixteenth
and seventeenth centuries. Really an
tique Apostles spoons are usually in
silver gilt. The modern souvenir spoon
is often far more elaborate than its an
tique progenitor, for silver has so great
ly cheapened in two centuries that to
make spoons of ordinary weight really
valuable the silversmith must put a
vast deal Of skilled labor into his prod
ucts.

The Sugar Trust Pockets Labor's Portion.
The tariff tax on refined sugar is a
half cent paund-put there, as the pro-
tectionists claim, to pay the laborers in
our sugar refneries the difference be-
tween their wages and those of Euro
pean pauper sugar reineries. Let us
see: The Sugar trust will produce this
year $500, 100000 pounds of refined
sugar, the Mckinley duty on which
would amount to 100000. Does la
Dor get this sum? Not one-third of it.
The total wages paid for labor by the
trust this year will amount to only S.
O4O,OO What becomes of the remain
ing $12,960,O002 The trust adds this to
the price of sugar and collects it from
the 66, 600, 900 consumers of the country.
The Mckinley law gives the trust the
power to tax the people.
Do the people want to keep up that
kind of taxation3

THE vast extent of the territory Gov

total basin area is 200 square miles,
embraces more than half the fresh
water area of the globe, and the coast
line in the United States extends over
5000 miles. The extreme distance In
the United States east and west is 1,27f
miles and north and south 500 miles

PROJECTIONS PROFITS.
A Cotton Mill Adding to Its Big Surplus
How the Tariff Buys Supporters.

A Cotton Mill Adding to Its Big Surplus.
How the Tariff Buys Supporters.
The protectionists are forever assert
ing that our high tariff does not give the
protected manufacturers very large prof
its after all, and Democrats who assert
the contrary are denounced by the high
tariff apologists as enemies of American
industries.
Many individual cases come to light,
however, which are hard for these apol-
ogists to defend satisfactorily. Here is
the case of the Amoskeag Manufactur-
ing company, of Massachusetts,. The
treasurer of this large cotton manufac-
turing concern has just handed in his
annual report showing that the company
paid dividend of 10 per cent. for the
past year, besides adding 100000 to it's
surplus. No farmer is now earning 10
per cent. clear on his capital, but this
cotton mill does that and lays by $780,
600 extra for rainy day.
The treasurer clearly recognizes the
fact that it is protection which is largely
responsible for helping the company to
realize these large profits. He tells the
stockholders, Moderate taxation. the
fullest employment of machinery con-
sistent with the health Of operatives
and sufficient protection from the COM
petition of foreign labor are essential to
your continued success"
Taxation indeedl The Amoskeag COM
pany is in reality not taxed at all, fer the
state and other taxes which it pays are
much more than made good to it by the
extra price which it is enabled through
the tariff to charge Americans for their
cotton goods. Thus instead of paying
taxes it collects taxes from those who
buy its goods.
The former treasurer of the company
evidently valued this beautiful result of
| protection at its true worth. He had
been a lifelong Democrat, but four years
ago, when the people began to become
aware that they were paying the manu-
features too much tariff taxes, he saw
that his interests were with the monop-
oily party. He accordingly voted for
Harrison, and has since been rewarded
by Harrison with the appointment of
minister to France. Thus protection
buys up its pets and makes them solid
for the G. o. P. for big dividends and
large additions to their surplus funds.

VOTES THROWN AWAY.

Every elector in Connecticut who re-
fuses to vote the democratic ticket for
state officers must be classed as an
enemy of democracy. There is no neu-
trail ground to stand on in this issue.
Not only must every voter who does.not
act with the democrats be called an
enemy of democracy, but he must be
placed just where he belongs; that is,
actually assisting the republican party
of the state.
Many men who would vote and act
with the prohibitionists or peoples
party have more sympathy with and
more confidence in the democratic
party than they have in the republican,
Yet these men really assist. the latter to
the detriment of their friends, the dem
ocrats. Third party men admit that
they have not the slightest chance of
success. They have a. few leaders who
agitate the improbable, many times for
personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, and they have
quite a following of earnest men, in
1890 having cast 1866 votes out of a
that they cast, however, were simply
thrown away, and will be thrown away
this year again if cast for third party
candidates for state offices.
In the dim long ago there was framed
for Connecticut constitution according
to which the people of the state should
govern themselves. Two great parties
were recognized, and it was never
dreamed of that there would be more
The party having the greater number
or the majority, was to govern
Other parties were evolved in time
\ however, and it became difficult tt
apply the constitution in letter and''ir
spirit, and to-day the state of Connect
cut is laughed at throughout the union
because its constitution is un-American
because a minority of the people rule
instead of majority. We believe i

anything were wrong with our institu
tions we could remedy it. That ou
state constitution needs remedyinI
there is no. doubt, but unfortunately i
operates against itself and all parties il
the state except the one. in powe
by means of our also: un-Americal
borough system.
The aims and objects of the democrac,
of Connecticut are to secure to tn
people representation based on popula
ton, and government by the party hav
ing the greatest number of adherents
and all who love justice and fair pla
should aid that party. Throwssno vote

A QUEER PHYSIOLOGICAL FACT
Young Husbands Who Grow Old Very
Fast.


A curious fact for the Psychologists
investigation is the premature aging of
old women's young husbands. The
young man who marries a woman
twenty years his senior by the time he
is well in his forties looks sixty, while
the young woman who weds the same
disparity of years keeps her youth as
long as her temperament and dispo-
sition permit. When Baroness-B Bur
dett-Coutts married her very youthful
spouse, Mr.. Bartlett, she was a we'll
preserved spinster of sixty odd. Now
the gallant Mr.. Burdett-Coutts, as he is
called, looks, it is said, fully up to that,
while the baroness, who is close upon
eighty, appears as bright and as ener-
getic as in middle life. There is no
preservation of health equal to a good
heart and an ample fortune, according
to the Boston Herald, and the aged
wife of the ambitious young American
is distinguished for both of these pos
sessions. Old age can be held at bay
until the very end, as Ninon de PEnclos'
career bears witness, but the con-
ditions must be favorable and the
years must be well gilt. Poverty never
kept any woman young; yet, after all
perhaps there is good deal of justice
in the averaging of time, and this pre-
| mature aging of men who marry thus
for wealth and position is but the
| double interest that fate exacts from its
| debtors

Costumes OF strikes.

Government statistics show that in
seven recent years, taken all together,
there were in the United States nearly
twenty-five Thousand strike of work
mgmen or employees of various sorts,
and that these strikes cost the strikers
nearly fifty-two millions of dollars.
What they cost the employers is not
known, but probably it was not less
amount. The number and costliness Of
strikes increase from year to year, and
as they become more frequent and more
expensive, they also become more bit
ter and harder to settle. The last sum-
mer has seen the soldiery called out in
four states at the same time, to sup
press riotous disturbances in some way
connected with strikes. Probably the
total ''strike bill'' of the year 1892 will
surpass in magnitude any which has
been incurred before.
1t is impossible, says the Youths
Companion, to settle the rights and
wrongs of strikes offhand. Some
times the employees are exacting, un-
reasonable and unfriendly to their en-
ployers. Sometimes the employers goad
their workmen to open resistance by
injustice, a grasping policy, or over
bearing insolence. But nothing could
be clearer than that the cost of strikes
In the long run, is just so much taken
away from the general wealth of the
community. Nothing could be more
wasteful of the resources of both par
ties to a controversy. No doubt il
would be less harmful, because less
productive of the bitterness and hatred
that leads to future trouble, if the mil
lions of dollars which strikes cost were
taken out and publicly burned rather
than spent In the way they are. Lee
us hope that the practical sense of the
American people will, before many
years, hit upon some satisfactory means
by which this frightful and menacins
strike warfare can be prevented.

A CHICAGO engineer is the author of
one of the most startling suggestions
for the worlds fair yet made. His idea
is to build a railway track, mile in
circumference, with another track in
side, connected by a switch. Around
one side of the track he would build an
amphitheater, with a seating capacity
for thirty thousand people. Twice a
week on these tracks he would start
two old and abandoned engines in OPP
posite directions, and when at full
speed the connecting switches would
be thrown open and the locomotives
allowed to crash into each other. TIC
make the collision more realistic he
would have the engineers jump just in
time to save their lives. It is his opin.
ion a real railroad wreck would be an
attractive spectacle. The engineer is
still looking for hacker.
