| creasinc the demand for their labor
They were unable to grasp the idea
that the increase IN produc'
ton meant more OF the necessaries OF
life for everybody, employers and EN-
ployeS alike, and an enormous improve
ment in the condition of the laboring
classes The fund to be divided being
greater. every one had a larger share
but it has turned ont that the increase
in the laborer'S share was relatively
larger than that Of the employer.
The prctense that this has been the
result Of the protective policy is one
Of the most gigantic frauds ever at
tempted. II has been the result of I'D
creased supply, while the object of pro-
lection has been 10 limit supply. II
has resulted from the failure of protcc'
ton to accomplish its purposes in some
instances, in spite of it in Others. The
SAME result has been reached under all
sorts of tariffs, for the effect of inn
proved processes has been SO great that
no system of tariff Spoliation has been
able wholly to nullify it.
England repealed the corn laws in
1916, that act being the tirstmovement
in the direction of free trade. All YES
tigeS of the protective policy, however,
were not swept away until 1861. Ac-
cording to protection logic wages
should have declined. What is the
fact? We quote from the Edinburgh
Review:
During the last thirty years the incomes OF
the richest class in England have decreased
thirty-three per cent, while the incomes of the
middle classes have been increased thirty.seven
per cent In the same period the wages of labor
have increased fifty nine per cent The rapid
additions which have thus been made to the
rate Of wages have probably been chiefly attrio.
utable to the introduction of machin
cry into every industry. Nothing that
had ever previously happened III the
history Of the world had done 50
much 10 improve the condition of the laboring
poor Wherever the employer, either by i'm
proving his machinery or in any other way, is
able 10 increase the efficiency of the employed,
he is concurrently enabled and is practically
compelled to raise the rate OF their wages.
Every individual invention, therefore, tends to
improve the condition of the workmon"
All this has happened under free
trade. If increase Of wages had been
due to protection, as republicans In the
United States impudently maintain,
we should have seen a reduction of the
wages Of English laborers in the last

THE PROTECTION SYSTEM.
spoilation Policy OF tho High Tarin Re.
uubiirlrs


Ever since the republican party de-
termincd TO outlive the reason for it's
existence, or, say for the last quarter
Of a century, it has persistently claimed
the credit for all the prosperity which
the country has enjoyed, for every for
tunate event that has occurred, for
every success that anybody has
achieved 1t has even assumed to he
the duly accredited almoner of Heav-
ems bounty, and has c~omplacently
pointed to every good crop as a tri-
umph OF republican craftsmanship. In
recent years II has persistently claimed
that all the marvellous results of the
inventive genius of the age, achieved
both before and since the republican
party came into being, are not due TO
ingenuity or enterprise, but can only
be accounted for by the republican pol
icy Of taxing one man for the benefit of
another. BY this policy Of spoliation,
they say all the vast increase in pro-
dnction and consequent cheapncss of
the necessaries Of life are to be ex-
planned. II any notice is taken of i'm
proved machinery at all. it is insisted
that the machinery itself was due to
the system Of spoliation
The protective system is a method of
keeping up prices by restricting supply
and thus reducing competition. The
field Of its operation in this country is
limited by a constitutional provision
that insures free trade among the states,
10 only foreign competition can be shut
out. but with this limitation it pushes
tho restrictive policy TO the utmost,
ana recnforces it by the formation Of
powerful trusts that seek to crush COM

When Grover Cleveland, at the close
Of his four years administration in
1859, handed over the administration
to Benjamin Harrison, there was a
large surplus in the treasury, the one
hundred million gold reserve was in
tact, and no dreamed of a necessity
for the issue of bonds or the suspension
Of gold payments,
With the national finances in this
satisfactory condition, with business
active, employment well supplied and
the country prosperous, what a splen-
did opportunity was at the command of
a political party holding full possession
OF the executive, legislative and judici-
al branches OF the government.
The economical expenditures that
had been established through four
years OF clean administration, and the
increasing treasury surplus, put it in
the power of the government to at
once reduce taxation and relieve the
people of the heavy burdens they had
so long borne unnecessarily. The con.
hdence of capital, the easy circum,
stances OF the general people and the
healthy condition of trade suggested |,
wise and liberal policy of reciprocity
with other nations and progress ant
improvement at home. The efficiency
and integrity of the public service
made easy a practical civil service re.
form, which would have insured capac,
ity and fidelity in all the branches OF
the government
How did the republican party, with
the presidency and the senate and the
house OF representatives in their hands,
use these advantages, the fruits of four
years of honest democratic administra.

When Benjamin Harrison, at the
close OF his term in 1898, handed over
the government to Grover Cleveland,
the treasury was bankrupt, every dol
lar of the surplus had disappeared,
the n Characterization gold re-
serve had been encroached upon. a de-
f]iciency existed, and Il confiscation of
the reserve and an issue of bonds seemed
inevitable.

narrowly escaped one of the severest
attacks of pneumonia while in the north
ern part of that State during recent
blizzard, says the Saturday ReU,e,c. Mr..
Blaize had occasion to drive several miles
during the storm and was so thoroughly
chilled that lie was unable to get warm,
and inside of an hour after his return he
was threatened with a severe case of
pneumonia or lung fever. Mr.. Baize
sent to the nearest drug store and got a
bottle of Chamberlain'S Cough Remedy,
of which he had often heard, and took
a number of large doses. He says the
effect was wonderful and in short time
he was breathing quite easily. He kept

bull was seen lying by the side of the track
on the Northern Pacific. The matter was
promptly reported to the superintendent's
Office, and he in turn sent out an order in
structing the section foreman to remove
the dead animal. Shortly afterward re
ply was received which distinguishes the
foreman as man of superior tact, although
his rhetorical powers have doubtless been
sadly neglected. The epistle runs thus:
