Eyerytlhinp IL Taxed.

The American laborer in the most high.
ly protected industries goes upon a strike
against the lowering Of his wages, wear
ing cap taxed so per cent, shirt taxed
80 per cent. and suit of clothes taxed 100
per cent. He talks the situation over
with his wife, and until the sheriff dis
trains on him for his rent he rests his
feet, wearing shoes taxed 25 per cent.
upon carpet taxed so per cent. He
cuts the bacon produced by the unpro-
tected farmer with knife taxed 100 per
cent, and if his wife cries over their
prospects she wipes her eyes with hand
kerchief taxed 55 per cent. If she does
not persuade him to go back to work at
lower wages his place is supplied by the
foreign pauper labor of Bohemia or Po-
land, and he has leisure to reflect on how
protection helps him.-Baltimore News.

The Enquirer carried in its Washing
ton dispatches the editorial of the New
York Herald commencing the Demo-
cratic platform for its declaration that
congress has no constitutional power to
levy tariff duties except for purposes Of
revenue. But it is strange that The
Herald should fancy this to be new
departure. 1t is Democratic doctrine as
old as jefferson. And there is one other
whose memory Democrats love and re-
vere-one Andrew jackson. He was a
Democrat all through and friend of
the people always. In his farewell mes
sage as president of the United States he
used these words: Congress has no
right under the constitution to take
money from the people unless 1t be re-
quired to execute some one of thu spe-
cific powers intrusted to the govern
ment, and if it raise more than is
necessary for such purpose tits an abuso
of the power of taxation and unjust anu
oppressive" Andrew jackson was right.
and the Democratic platform of 1892
simply follows his vigorous declaration.

How lie Awoko Under Pressure ana
Then Went to sleep Again.
The tired young man went yachting
INST Sunday on his friends cutter. He
didn't seem to know anything about
boats, and even the captain of the crew
almost smiled rs the young man tumbled
over the coils OF rope that seemed to be
all over the deck.
The breeze was "sou so west, sir. +"
with hot puffs every other minute. When
the tired young man had looked all over
the shapely craft, he went below, filled u
pipe and smoked contentedly.
The trip from East Boston to Hull was
made with the mainsail, jib and staysail
all set and the lee rail under water most
Of the time.
After dinner on the yacht of Hull, all
hands, except the indifferent youth, lent
a hand to furling the mainsnil, housing
the topmast and then pulling up the
anchor, for there was no time to use the
windlass.
The air stiffened till IL was nearly a
gale. Water poured in over the lee SOUP

out on the footrope under the bowsprit,

ducking.

"Go yourselfl" was the only consola.
ton he got from his critics. "Jove,
fancy I'll have to-" he answered, and
went UP forward.
In a twinkling he was far out on the
bowsprit, while every time the nose OF
the boat ducked he got soaking; but he
helped the man, and by the time he go,

was praisiug him for his courage.

That Wasn't Election Year.

In swinging around the circle last year
President Harrison at Omaha gave ut
terances to a sentiment that was virtual
ly d severe criticism of various Repub-
lican policies. He said that the theory
of our government "is largely individual
liberty, and to take out of the way of
legislation that obstructs the free, honest
pursuit of human industries, and to al
low each individual to have the best pos
sible chance to develop the highest pros
perity for himself and family" This
declaration goes much further in the di-
rection of free trade than anything con-
tained in the Chicago platform. Yet it
should be said that Mr.. Harrison's acts
have been utterly inconsistent with his
own declaration. Buffalo Courier.

Why He Tagged the Train.

From the Detroit Free Press.
One of Michigan's railroad COM
panies decided to establish freight
and ticket Office at R., a small flag
station in the southern part of the
State, and the grocery-keeper of this
hamlet was commissioned as agent,
The first morning he awoke about S
o'clock, and, hearing the ''limited'
whistle in the distance, hurriedly slid
into his trousers, and, without stopping
to finish dressing, dashed down the
stairs, flag in hand, ran out upon the
platform and began wildly waving the
flag across the track. The train stop,
ped; the conductor alighted, and
seeing no one but the agent in sight,
turned to him with the inquiry:
where's your passengers1"
Haven't any," replied the agent, as
he made another grao to keep his
trousers from dropping down.
''Then why in thunder did you stop
us?"
"W-well, I--I-.thought perhaps
there might be someone who would
want to get off here"

Low Wages Follow Protection.

The lowest wages paid in this country
for labor at all skilled are in industries
having protection, and none of them
pay any more than the market rate fDr
labor, while all strive to appropriate the
entire tariff bounty to themselves and
give wOrkmen no share. All ultra pro-
tectionists harp continually upon the
alleged high wages paid by American
protected manufacturers to their foreign
imported laborers, but an examination
of the pay rolls shows that the claim
consists chiefly Of imaginary money and
that in point of fact they are the poorest
paid town laborers in the United States,
and the more highly protected the fat,.
tories are the less the wages.-Chicago

VIII Foster Go Next?

Two explanations Of Campbell's re-
tirement from the craftsmanship of the
national Republican committee have al
ready been put forth-one that his sick
wife needs his attention, and anothe,
that his corporation clients refuse to 70
lease him from their service. The real
explanation, however, is that Harrison
is scared at the exposures which Camp
bells appointment ELECTED and has de-
termined to unload him. Foster will
have to go for the same reason.-St.

to say that Mr.. Harrison and his attor-
ney general were the mainstay of Bal

crisis.--St. Louis Dispatch.
