The Annie WAGNER AcauittaI.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
The editorial of to-day entitled Annie
Wagner's Case" brings up a very grave
question of social justice. Annie has been
falsely accused and falsely imprisoned for
months Her good name has been unspeak-
ably maligned. She is now declared inno-
cent Whether she was defended by Marion
county as poor person and her attorneys
paid under the statute 4 know not But
ought not. in such cases. the State TO make

nothing of her mental sufferings, only
"A part? Has an innocent person falsely ac-
cused any rights of redress? The only one

action for false imprisonment against her

exceedingly expensive remedy. such as no
lawyer would be willing 10 undertake, for

Any Jury would take such unspeakabe

The RObber Tariff.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
Our free-trade friends say that ''protec-
ton is robbery" and they therefore call the
Mckinley law 1.-The robber tariff Now,
in order to consummate a felony OF that
kind there must be robber and the robbed.
Who is this monster who is forcibly reliev-
ing his victims of their own? Why, 1t is
the malignant and thieving American man
ufacturer. He is the rascally chap who
makes the wage Garner and the consumer
stand and deliver" And how does the
wicked manufacturer accomplish his villain
Gus purpose? Easy enough. He has Con-
gress to pass a law placing a duty of say
so per cent. on the kind of goods he manu-
features, which amount he adds to the price
of his productions. This increased price he
compelis the poor consumer to pay, and
complacently puts IL In his ponderouS pock-
ct, as a part Of his profits. And this is the
kind of exaggerated nonsense that is being
talked by Democratic orators from Cleve-
land down TO Bynum.
Ananias has something of a reputation as
a prevaricatOr, but he would hardly be able
to hold candle TO one OF our modern
free-trade fallacists The Mckinley law
added about 26 per cent to the dutiable
list. according to the highest Democratic
authority. But has the American manu-
facturer added 20 per cent. to the price of
his productions? Most certainly not. Ana
is the consumer paying one-fourth more
for his supplies than he did before the Nc
Kinley law was enacted? Not at all. Then
who is paying the 26 per cent. that was
added by that odious enactment?
If some tariff reformer' Will figure out
the answer TO this question he VIII know
more about the practical workings of pro-
tective tariff than he ever dreamed of be
fore. If he cannot solve this proposition let
him exercise his ingenuity on the following
conundrum. How does the foreign manu-
facturer come by the belief that he pays
the duty? That he has such an impression
is certain, and / have always been anxious
to have some free-trader explain just how
the foreigner became possessed of such an
idea.
But these robbers" 1t appears. are to
have a respite, a stay OF execution as II
were. The "reformers" have graciouSly
into effect until July 1894 probably on the
principle that we do not hang a man with
out giving him a little time for preparation.
The robbers" should be very thankful. 1t
gives them an opportunity to ply their vo-
cation six months longer. You certainly
would not stop a robbers" from robbing
all at once.
But these reformers apologize for the VIII
son bill by saying that II does not entirely
destroy protection to American industries.
That is to say they are willing that the ras-
cally manufacturer shall continue to steal
from the unfortunate consumer, but at a
less rate-commit petit larceny, so to speak.
When Mr. Bynum had the duty on tin
plate increased one-fifth of a cent per pound
so that the people could be robbed by just
that much more did he not make himself
an accessory before the fact?
