With free wool and a moderate

States would beat the world on
manufactured woolens of every de-

The protected producer does not
measure the sum he pays by the
amount of protection he gets, but
by the ease or difficulty with which
he can procure labor, or by the fact
whether labor is scarce or plenty"

The True Faith Expounded.

Never has great party, intent
upon the. promotion of right and
justice, had better incentive for eff
fort than is now presented to us.
Turning our eyes to the plain people
of the land we see them burdened
as consumers with tariff system
that unjustly and relentlessly de-
mands from them in the purchase
of the necessaries and comforts of
life an amount scarcely met by the
wages of hard and steady toll,
while the exactions thus wrung
from them build up those for whose
benefit the injustice is perpetuated.
We see the farmer listening to a
delusive story that fills his mind
with advantage, while his pocket is
robbed by the stealthy hand of high
protection. Our workingmen are
told the tale, oft repeated in spite
of it's demonstrated falsity, that the
existing protective tariff is a boon
to them, and that under it's bene-
ficent operation their wages must
increase while as they listen scenes
are enacted in the very abiding
place of high protection that mock
the hopes of toll and attest the ten
der mercy the workingman receives
from those made selfish and sordid
by unjust governmental favors.
We oppose earnestly and stub
bornly the theory upon which our
opponents seek to Justify and up
hold tariff laws.-Grover Cleveland S

Senator-James d. Turnbull.

The election of Democratic SEN
ators and representatives to the
State Legislature this year is of far
more interest to tariff reformers
than at mere State election. The
next State Legislature will select a
senator to represent the State in the
u. S. senate. That body has now a
majority in favor Of protective
tax, and in order to have reform
laws passed to relieve the farmers

The Dinner Pail.

Over and over again it has been
said by Republican writers and
speakers that utensils of tin are no
higher than they were before the
passage of the Mckinley bill.
The report of the Aldrich COM
mittee, of which Republicans boast
so much, effectually disposes of
this contention. In this report the
price of an article on June 1, 1889,
is put down at 500, and the price
at subsequent dates is estimated
upon that basis. The wholesale
price of dinner pals was the same
in September, 1900, as in June,
1880. In January, 1901, it was
$106.55, and it remained at that
figure until September, 1901, the
date when the report closed.
This means that the number of
dinner pals that could be bought
for 500 in September, 1890, cost
in the following year $106.25. The
same report shows that tin milk
pans that cost 800 in June, 1889,
cost $110.S6 in September 1891.
That the increase of price was
not greater is due to several cir
cumstances. The enormous impor-
tations made before the law took
effect overstocked the market for a
time. Afterward prices abroad de-
clined, as they had been doing the
years before-not every year, it is
true, but the general tendency was
downward, so that the foreign price
declined from five cents a pound in
1880 to three cents in 1885 and
subsequent years. The foreign
price has also declined since Septem-
Der, 1901, but the tariff has prevent
ed our consumers from getting the
