Tariff and Farm Machinery.

A farmer named E. w. Stout, whose
farm is a few miles out from Trenton,
N. j., rececently returned from a
visit to his old father in England, whom
he had not seen for many years.
While there he found that he could buy
American-made farm machinery much
cheaper in England than he could at
home. He accordingly made purchas-
es for himself and some neighbors with
whom he had previously consulted, and
shipped the machinery back to this
country. To reporter Mr.. Stout said:
"On the plows the saving will be fully
25 per cent, think, for the prices of
American-made plows On the other side
are just about half the prices charged
for the same things in this country.
| bought hay rakes, cultivators, feed
cutters and plows, and everything will
come back to this country in the same
packing that was on it when it was
shipped from the factory"
After paying freight on these goods
across the Atlantic to England and back
from England to America, they come
to the American purchaser % per cent.
cheaper than he could get the same ar
ticle at home. Farmers may take
hint from this. If they want to get
farm implements and machinery at
prices, let them keep a few
agents in England on the
quiet. They would have to be sly
about it, though, for if the manufacture
ers should ..catch on" they would go
at once to Congress Gf it should hap
pen to be Republican, and get an
to section % of the McKin-
ley act, which permits the re-importa-
tion of American-made articles free, or,
If there is an internal tax on them, SUBJ
ject only to duty equal to such tax.
Of course Republican congress would
vote to compel American farmers to
pay twice as much as foreigners have

on theory that is likely the creation
of partisan prejudice. must do himself
and the canse of legitimate protection
grave injury
One week after the election of Mr..
Cleveland, the following notices APP
peared in all the daily journals of the
| country:
LOWELL, Mass, November 15.-The
agents of Lowell cotton mills to-day
decided to grant an increase not to ex-
ceed I per cent. in the wages of the
operatives, to take effect December 4.
PROVIDENCE. r. l., November 15.-
The Lonsdale Company and the firm cf
, B. b. & R. knight notified their en-
ployes to-day of an increase in wages
to GO into effect December 5.
Our cotton manufacturers are among
the highly protected Industries of the
country. Their protection was reduc-
ed by the Mills bill and variably reduc-
ed and increased by the Mckinley law;
but lnstead of sullenly growing because
the people who pay the taxes ON the
necessaries of life chose to declare
against the Mckinley tariff abortion,
they accept the condition that confronts
them and give their labor a share of
the profits.
The cotton industry is one of the few
industries of the country that has free
raw materials. It has not only our
own cotton free, but the considerable
quantity of Egyptian cotton that it i'm
ports for mixture with our native pro-
duct is admitted free, as should be the
raw materials of all our industries. It
is this advantage of free raw materials
that enables our cotton manufacturers
to export $12, 100000 of American pro-
duct to foreign markets, and American
ingenuity enables to undersell England
in India in some lines of cottons.
With free raw materials the cotton
manufacturers can have all the benefit
of cheap markets for cotton, as there
are no tariff taxes to oppress them.
The last cotton crop was the largest
ever grown and the laws of supply
and demand which govern both mater
ials and labor, make cotton cheaper
than ever before in our history. The
cost of producing cottons is thus cheap
ened; the demands of consumers stead
lily increase as the product is cheaper
ed, and we have cheapsned cottons
and increased wages in our cotton
mills.
What is true of our cotton mills to
day will be true of our woolen and
other industries whenever they can be
put on the same sound basis. Their
first need is free raw materials-free
wool, hair, dyestuffs, etc,-and when |
that shall be attained, as it soon must |
be, it will be the fixed policy of the |
government. When wool shall be
plenty and cheap, woolens will be
with advantages TO both
capital and labor; and the man who
churlishly growls over fate that is wise
|y ordained, and threatens reduced
wages to labor in protected industries
because change of tariff taxes will
come one year Or more hence, publicly
,onfesses that he is either cheating
himself or seeks to cheat tothers.-Pul-
tdelphia Times.

The vote of Missouri in the recent
election. as acertained and promulgat-
ed officially by Secretary OF State
Lesueur, is worthy Of more than .
passing notice. The official figures
show that Mr.. Cleveland received
268, OS9 votes, against 261. .943 votes
given him in 1888 and 235, 1888 given
him in 1884. This is an increase fav-
orable to Democracy in the eight years
OF 81, ,652 votes, or at the rate of 1000
year. Mr.. Harrison received 226, 1924
votes against 2S6, ,252 in 1888, and 2O2,-
929 votes given to Mr.. Blaine In 1884.
This demonstrates that Mr.. Harrison
lost more than 10, 900 votes in Missouri.
and that the Republicans have only
gained $4,000 votes in eight years. at
the rate of 5000 year. If anything
were needed to demonstrate Mr.. Cleve-
lands growing popularity, these fig
ures should be sufficient. His plurality
in 1884 was 33,O59; his plurality in
1888 was 25,691, and his plurality in
1892 is Al, ,215.
The vote on the State ticket is even
more pronounced in favor of Demo-
cratic men and measures. Colonel
Stone received 265, ,144 votes, Warner
235, 1854, Leonard 37,276, and Sobieski
3,393, giving Colonel Stone plurality
of 29,76O. This is not all. These figures
show that Major Warner lacked 7.177
of receiving as many votes as were cast
for Mr.. Kimballin 1883. It also shows
that Colonel Stones vote exceeded that
given Governor Francis by $3.50, while
Mr.. Cleveland's gain during the past
four years was $685.. In other words,
the State Democratic increase Of votes
in Missouri is nearly 5000 in excess of
that of the national Democratic vote,
a fact complimentary to Colonel Stone
and the State ticket. -,
The Republic declared, at the begin
ming of the campaign, that Major
Warner would not be in it, and the Of
fetal figures abundantly show that he
was not in it. He conducted q great
of noise and hurrah, but he
the blunder Of abusing the
soil. the industry. the enterprise and
the people of Missouri. It was q fatal
from which the Republicans
should learn lesson. The Democrat
ic party Of Missouri is weary OF fighting
The wind, and it hopes the campaigns
'f 1894 and 1896 will find its opponents
better equipped for contest that will
levelop its real fighting strength and
qualities in Missouri. RepM6lic.

The Congress Of the Salvation Army

is very impressive gathering. Though
in numbers it is not SO great as the
Christian Endeavor Convention, which
lately attracted so much attention here
it is even more striking and significant
The Christian Endeavorers are the mil
itia of the army of the Lord. BY com.
parison, the Salvationists are the reg
ularly enlisted soldiers, always engag
ed in warfare against the devil and his
works.
OF the existence of the devil they
have no doubt. He is not to them
merely poetic personifcation of alb
stract evil and all the forces of wicked
ness, but an actual being with definite
form, who moves about to destroy the
souls of men. 1--WE believe in q per-
sonal DEVIL" said Mrs. Booth at the
meeting at Carnegie Hall on Monday
evening. 1--WE believe in him because
we have seen him" They believe that
the devil is the author and embodiment
of sin, and not simply the figure of
speech which he is in the minds of SO
large a part of modern theologians and
modern Christians. They believe that
he has his abode in hell, and that
thence he sallies forth at the head of
his diabolical legions to drag the souls
nf ;,,f M
They believe, also, that salvation is
real, that heaven is a place and not
merely state. They believe that their
God has His awful throne, and that
numberless angels gather about Him
in unceasing alteration and with pure
and perfect delight. They believe in
the golden streets, in the gates of jasp-
er, in the harps. and the trump of the
last day of judgment. They do not try
to explain away all these as images
created by the Imagination, as concrete
of abstract truths incom-
prehensible by the SIMPLE ones of hui
manity. They accept them as facts
and as actualities. Heaven and hell
are as real to them as the earth which
they see with their natural eyes, and
to them this mortal lite, as compared
with the everlasting life to come, is of
no Importance except as the threshold
of the other.
Hence the Salvationists are banded
together for no other purpose than to
fight the devil. For his victims they
have only pity; for the devil himself
only bitter hatred. They go down to
the dark and vile places of the town.
but not after the detective fashion of
Parkhurst. They do not turn the dupes
Of the devil over to the officers OF the
human law, as he did, but rather mourn
over them as candidates for the inf
aitely more terrible punishment of the
AXE of fire, and seek to rescue them
rom the clutches of the evil one.
During the year past the soldiers of
Army, according 70 the sta
istics of Commander Booth, have cap
ured from the devil more than 81, 600
Iouls. They have sent no one of his
,ictims to an earthly prison, for they
10 not regard themselves as auxiliaries
# the police, acting as a society for
he prevention OF crime by directing
4gainst it human penalties. The PEN
.lties with which they alarm the sinner
re the everlasting torments of hell.
The Salvationists, therefore, are in
used with some of the true spirit of
Christianity, and that is the reason of
heir successful progress against the

So far as the reciprocity policy Of the
present ADMINISTRATION tends toward
the improvement of our foreign com-
merce, Il may be deserving OF
favor, and were it not for
other reasons such favor would be
freely accorded to it even by those not
in sympathy with the present fiscal
policy. The first of these reasons is
that reciprocity" is evidently intended
to obstruct the progress of true tariff
reform principles, and another, a
natural sequence, is that there exists a
manifest disposition on the part of its
supporters to exaggerate the benefits
likely to accrue from the several
treaties effected. This is the secret of
the enthusiasm of the high protection.
lists over what is in reality some con-
eessions to low tariff principles and is
full justification of the critical attitude
of tariff reformers.
The latest treaty with Germany is a
good example of the truth of this 1t
has been held up as a wonderful COM
bination of business acumen and dipo-
matte sagacity on our part, and a tire.
mendous stride forward in opening up
foreign markets to the farm produce OF
this country. An imposing show has
been made by placing side by side the
old rates of duty in Germany on the
products affected and the new, and
calling attention to the Substantial
CONCESSIONS secured to this country.
1t must be admitted that on paper
these look well, and had the conces-
sions been made to the United States
alone might even have been invested
with some Importance. As it is, tho
following shows that they affect u
small part only of our exports to Ger
many. and further, that one important
competitor with us for the German
market in agricultural products has
been accorded like concessions and is
in a natural position to take much
fuller advantage OF them than w are.
During the fiscal year ended June 50,
1890, the last for which full details are
available, nj total exports to Ger.
many amounted in value to SS4, SIS, 215,
a very considerable trade; but of this
total the articles upon which the duties
have been revised furnished only So
sS1, 1871. 1t may Of course be argued that
the latter total was small on account
Of the duties; but, as will be shown
on, these duties did not prevent
importations from other Euro
pean countries of similar products.
Nor when we consider how much the
of duty on the above years inn
portations, at the revised rates, would
have been to Germany does there APP
pear to be much in the argument itself.
The following table shows the amount
OF duty actually paid, what it would
have been on the reduced scale and the
amount that would have been saved by
importers;
Macon beacon. [volume] (Macon, Miss.) 1859-1995, 1892-02-13

~
In addition to the above there is Il
reduction of duty on imports of lumber
and timber which we cannot exactly
calculate, but, making an extravagant
allowance for it, the entire reduction
in duties on our exports to Germany
for the year 1ss9.90 would come under
half a million dollars.
This result appears still more trivial
when contrasted with the saving which
the same concessions to Austria Hun
gary will effect on imports from that
country, The German imports from
Austria are returned at Sl65, $50, 900
yearly, on which old duties amounted
to S36, $50, 900. Under the new treaty
these duties are reduced to ser, 500, 600,
a saving Of s., $50, 600. Why Germany,
bent upon effecting a commercial union
nth Austria, Italy, etc, should have
been willing to extend consideration
to the United States also to secure its
American trade in beet sugar. needs no
explanation with the above figures be-
fore us.
The discrimination against Russia by
the new treaties will without doubt
have the effect of changing the sources
of Germany's grain supplies to some
extent but the assumption that any
material benefit will accrue to us there.
from is not well supported. The fol
lowing shows Germany's imports of the
four leading cereals in 1889, with chiei
sources of supply, in thousands OF
bushels:
