The CRY for the Corn Laws.

The protectionist organs are trying to
make political capital out of the fact
that some of the English farmers are
calling for a restoration of the corn laws.
If consistency were characteristic Of
the protectionist party in the United
States, it would be difficult task for a
party that had just been arguing that
everything English was necessarily bad
for this country to urge this selfish
clamor of the English landlords as an
argument in favor of protection here.
The English corn laws were passed in
the interest of the landed aristocracy Of
England, just as our tariff laws were
passed for the benefit of the moneyed
aristocracy here. England needs more
food than her scanty territory can yield
to feed her people. Hence tariff on
imported grain would give the English
land owners monopoly. The United
States raises millions of bushels of grain
yearly in excess of the amount our own
people can consume. A tariff on grain
can, therefore, benefit the American
farmer in no possible way.
1t is the American manufacturer that
stands in the same relation to protect
i've tariff that the English landlord does.
Each is benefited by shutting out COM
petition by means of protective tariffs.
The same selfish greed is the motive in
each case. In each case the moneyed
class-the few-demand that the labor
ing masses shall be forced to pay more
for the necessaries of life-for food in
England, for clothing in America-in or
der that the plutocrats may enjoy greater
profits.
The blacklist page in English history
is the record of the suffering entailed
upon England by the corn laws. There
is not the slightest possibility of their
restoration. If there could be, the reac-
ton would be as quick and powerful as
that which followed on the heels of Nc
nleyism.-Oakland Post.

That sheltering Umbrella.

Nothing funnier has appeared since
the election than President Harrison's
remark that protection has failed be-
cause the wageearner has refused to
share his shelter with the manufacturer;
he would not even walk under the same
umbrella"
Considering that the operatives in the
protected industries do not constitute
more than ope-twentieth of the working
population, the assumption that their
action decided the election is quite anus
ing In itself. But when the mind pic
lures the strikers at Homestead, nine
tenths Of whom were paid less than two
dollars day, refusing to share their
shelter" with Andrew Carnegie, who had
pulled out more than 81 100000 year in
profits, the comicality suggests its own
cartoon.
Mr.. Harrison perhaps failed to notice
the fact that 81 100000 was contributed
to his campaign fund by the protected
millionaires of Pennsylvania alone to
preserve the tariff which they had paid
for and made.
Does the president really think this
payment was pure philanthropy to en-
able the paternal plutocrats to hold an
umbrella over the wage earners?-New
York World.

THE TOILER'S SHARE.

To The Iowa County Democrat.
There is something indescribably
pathetic in the fact that there is to be
found in SO many communities men
past the active period of life whose
lives have been one amending round of
toll, and yet who are so few days sep
arated from cruel, pinching want.
1t seems to me there is nothing
more heroic than is the daily effort put
forth to secure the necessities of life
by those who feel from season to
season their powers slowly waning, yet
know no moment of release from the
grinding worry for bread.
There may be seen on our streets
daily men whose life toll has pro-
dnced many thousands of dollars, yet
who can lay claim to but the most
meager part as their share in it.
Human labor has given the world
its wealth. From the generous earth
the hands of toll have taken the
materials which supply the needs and
comforts of its existence.
There is that which rises into the
sublime in the thought that the COM
mon people, the working men and
women,-haye made our country that
which makes for greatness in the eyes
of nations. But something has come
between them and the enjoyment of
that which their toll has evoked into
being.
1t was the common people who
fought TO successful issue the War of
the Revolution, making free govern
ment possible; who carried our flag in
triumph over the fields of 1912; it
was the toilers from the mine, the
field and mill who gave the last full
measure of their devotion to liberty"
in trenches and on hillsides where
Titans met in contest for the freedom
of labor and the supremacy of the
national government; the common
people of this country have opened its
mines and farms; have felled its
forests; have ditched its canals; have
built its railroads, and from the re-
sources of continent have erected

was born in Kenlon county, Ken
lucky, September 5, 1886. His early
years were spent in securing an
education such as the common schools
of those days afforded. and at the
same time supporting himself by his
own labor. He began the study of
law at Covington, and at the end of
two years he was admitted to the bar
He was elected member of the lower
house of the state legislature in 1864,
a state senator in 1866 and again in
1869; lieutenant governor in 1871,
serving until 1876, when he entered
congress. He was not long in con-
gress before it became apparent that
he would soon become a central figure
in national politics. His distinguish
ed career in congress, as speaker, and
as U. S. senator, is well known mat
ter of history.

THE WAY TO RAISE WAGES.
Remove the Taxes from Raw Materials
and They Will Raise Themselves.

Remove the Taxes from Raw Materials,
and They Will Raise Themselves.
The Philadelphia Manufacturer Of
Dec. 8, one of the most fanatical of pro-
tectionist sheets, said:
1.-THE low prices for cotton during the
past year have been hard upon the plant
ers, but of huge benefit to spinners and
consumers. The cotton mills in this
country have had a season of high pros
perity, and this has been shared by work
ing people and by purchasers of the
fabrics. The recent voluntary advance
of wages in certain New England Gotten
mills was one of the results of the low
prices Of the staple"
This would have been rank heresy be-
fore Nov. Stree trade, Golden club
talk. Does The Manufacturer forget
that about the only genuine wage adj
vance made during the first two years
and two months of Mckinley rule and
reported by The American Economist in
its list of twenty-eight alleged wage adj
vances credited to Mckinley was the
81 per cent. Increased to II since cleo
tion) advance in the cotton mills of Fall
n1SGI. auu uOW lie bS1AS
us, what free traders told US all along,
that this advance was due to cheap raw
material-cotton-a not to Mckinley.
Well, perhaps free traders have been
talking straight" all the time, and the
right way to raise wages is to remove
taxes on raw materials, and by and by
wages will raise themselves.
If free and cheap cotton has compelled
cotton goods manufacturers to lower the
price of their goods and to advance
wages, why would not free and cheap
sugar and tin plate soon compel canning
establishments to lower prices and in
crease wages? And why wouldn't free
and cheap coal and iron ores soon lower
prices and advance wages in our whole
iron and steel industry? And why
wouldn't free and cheap lumber soon
reduce the cost of houses while at the
same time, increasing the pay of house
smiths? And why wouldn't free and
cheap foreign wool soon give Us cheap
clothes and increase the wages of our
poorly paid textile workers?
Perhaps, after all, this is the common
sense way of raising wages and of lower
ing prices. 1t would indeed be strange

Senator John e. Carlisle, of Ken
lucky, is generally looked upon as the
coming secretary of the treasury, under
the Democratic dispensation, which
will begin on March 4th, next
While his decided political views are
well known of all men, he is held in
the very highest esteem by members
of all political parties; and already,
from all parts of the country, come
expressions of great satisfaction over
the prospect of Mr.. Carlisle becoming
the head of the treasury department.
Being a pioneer tariff reformer, with a
wonderful knowledge of the subject,
his recommendation in regard to the
framing Of new revenue bill will be
entitled to great consideration. AS
the repeal of the compulsory silver
purchase law is a pressing necessity,
the following recent expression of Mr..
Carlisle on the silver question is timely
and interesting:
81 think the Democratic senators
will very shortly get together and take
some action and endeavor to get the
question out of the hands of the COM
mittee and on the floor of the senate,
where it can be debated and voted
upon. | think this will be done very
shortly, and | feel that before the SEN
ate adjourns it will either take action
abolishing the purchase of silver alto
gether or suspending the purchases
for time. Certainly some relief will
be afforded. [ am in favor of abso-
lutely repeating the Sherman law and
Of not bringing into force again the
Bland law which required the pur-
chase of 100000 of silver a month
In other words, am in favor of WHIP
ing out the silver legislation altogether.
l believe the country has had all the
silver it can stand or consume at the
present"

There is one feature about the can
didacy of Judge Newman, for the
supreme bench, that strikes The
Democrat very fayorably. His cleo
ton would make his righteous decis-
on in the treasury cases the common
law Of Wisconsin. 1t could then be
told in Madison and published abroad
in the streets of Oshkosh, that public
office is public trust, and not a
private snap.

Cures Others

Will cure You, is true statement of the
action of AYERS Sarsaparilla, when
taken for diseases originating in impure
blood; but, while this assertion is true of
AYERS Sarsaparilla, as thousands can
attest, it cannot be truthfully applied to
other preparations, which unprincipled
dealers will recommend, and try to i'm
pose upon you, as ''just as good as
Ayers" Take Ayers Sarsaparilla and
Ayers only, if you need blood-purifier
and would be benefited permanently.
This medicine, for nearly fifty years,
has enjoyed reputation, and made a
record for cures, that has never been
equaled by other preparations. AYERS
Sarsaparilla eradicates the faint of he
reditary scrofula and other blood dis
eases from the system, and it has, deser.
vedly, the confidence of the people.

if McKinley's plan of taxing ourselves
into prosperity should be found to have
had exactly the opposite effect, yet that's
the way it looks. Anyhow the people
themselves have decided to take the OPP
posite tack. If we can have our wages
raised and at the same time get cheaper
food, clothing and house, our lot will be
happy one, and we will feel grateful to
the party that dropped onto" this
method of inducing prosperity to visit

besides the lakes; they have establish
ed schools and in this state at least
have decreed that their children shall
be taught according to the dictates of
parental conscience; they have built
churches and asylums; from their earn
ings comes the money, and from their
hearts the honesty to make good the
nations debt.
More, in this state the common
people have sustained a faithful
official in an honest effort to wrench
from dishonest hands the interest on
public finds.
Why does not labor enjoy to the full
the fruits of it's toll?
In shame be it said of a country
that owes so much to it's toiling mil
lions that under laws SO deviliSh as to
defy definition, the earnings, the wages,
of labor are flched from fingers that
earn them, until the great resources of
the western world are but mockery
to the toiler who has but his labor to
depend upon, until the cost of pro-
duction has but little to do with sell
ling price, until the public lands are
cruelty beyond the reach and use of the
poor, until the great coal, iron, copper
and salt deposits in the hands of few
are as far removed from the masses as
if located half way round the globe.
OF what advantage to the poor
home maker under the present laws are
the pine forests Of Wisconsin and
Michigan? Better for us if present
laws continue were the cotton belt of
the southern states removed to Europe.
"Ah! you overlook the per capita
wealth of the country; it is greater in
United States than in any country so
say the orthodox. Pencil in hand the
faithful prove the assessed valuation
2 billion dollars but two fifths the
actual value of property in United
States, hence the actual value must be
81 billion dollars, and as there are
about 62 million people the actual
average wealth for each man, woman
and child is one thousand dollars;
and forthwith goes up the senseless
shout, "RicheSt nation on earth!"
every simple is it not, multiply once,
divide once" 1t is so simple that it is
only equalled in absurdity by the fol
lowing: "Col. Jones and own more
cattle than any two men in the State"
"Indeed, how many is that?' "More
than ten thousand" "You don't say!
And you own five thousand?" "No,
not exactly, Col. Jones owns nine
thousand nine hundred ninety and |
own the rest" To show the total sum
of the nations wealth to have in
creased wonderfully and to stop at this
is to prove nothing. AS well might
the motion of hobby horse be called
progress. The question is not, GLOW
rich is the nation growing?" But,
"What is the condition financially
of the various classes of our people,"
How many possess nothing at all?
How many possess 800 in money
or propriety?
How many $500?
How many $1,000?
How many $4,000?
How many 100000?
How many $1,00O,000?
How many $50,000,000?
How many $100,000,000?
In one word, what is the tendency?
Does larger or~smaller proportion Of
our people today possess $1,000 than
possessed it twenty years ago? Is the
ratio larger or smaller today Of those
who possess 800 than it was twenty
years ago? Respectfully,
T. M. DYER.
