a SHAM AND A FRAUD.
The s,xindling Policy Of the HumbugginI
flemocracy.


When the democratic national con-
vention, held al Chicago in 1892. dis
cussed the tariff question, the plank
from the Randall platform of 1894 was
brought forward This was on the
lines of modified protection. But it
was howled down by Henry Waiter
son and other free trade fanatics, and
for it was substituted the Neal-Wat-
terson plank, which denounced the
system of protection" rs ''unconstitu-
tional" and as IA fraud-a robbery of
the majority of the American people
for the protection Of the few" 1t was
with this tariff plank in their platform
that the democratic party went before
the people p,ndged to free trade.
How have they carried out their
promises? They have struck down
wool and protected coal They have
freed salt and protected raw sugar.
They have freed tin ore and protected
iron ore. They have laid before the
people bill which is not free trade
bill, or even bill for revenue only,
but a protective tariff which differs
from the republican tariff only in de
gree, but not in kind.
1t has been estimated (by democratic
statisticians) that the grand average
of duties under the republican McKin-
lev tariff was fifty per cent. 1t is esti-
mated (also by democratic statisti-
cians) that the grand average of du-
ties under the democratic sugar trust
tariff is thirty-eight per cent. This
makes difference of twelve per cent
If, as the democratic platform alleged,
ssprotection is unconstitutional" a
.'fraud." and a robbery" how about
this sugar trust tariff? If fifty per
cent protection is unconstitutional, is
thirty-eight per cent. constitutional?
Does twelve per cent. make the differ
ence between honesty and dishonesty?
If fifty per cent. protection is fraud
and robbery. is not thirty-eight per
cent. protection a robbery and fraud?
1t is small wonder that Grover Cleve-
land hesitated to affix his signature to
this humbug bill. 1t is not an honest
bill. 1t is tainted with all manner of
scandals and rumors of bribery. 1t is
not what the rank and file of the dem
ocratic party asked for. nor is it what
the democratic leaders promised to
give them.
The democratic party's platform was
a swindle. it's investigation" of the
sugar scandal was a sham. and It's So
called free-trade tariff is a fraud. -

their ancestors enjoyed copper-colored
flesh and blood. After a well-nigh
sleepless night it is always pleasant to
get out upon the water again. The
pleasure-seel5er who has good guide
with him can learn a great deal of
local nomenclature, greater portion
of which is aboriginal. There are Tar
Kiln Point, Stump Neck, Possum Nose
and Chicamuxen creek, which were
famous resorts of the blockade run
ners during the war of the rebellion.
At Budd's Ferry. a shady point just
below ChicamuXen creek and thirty
miles below Washington, we had our
lunch beneath huge tree, and a mile
further down the beach we decided 10
make camp, as two copious springs
were found and a high bluff gave us
most desirable camping spot. Just
across the river the entrance to Chapo-
wamsie creek, mile below Potomac
city, could be seen, and eight miles
away. on the Virginia shore. the broad
surface of Aqua creek glistening in
the sunlight. The famous quarries on
the shores of this creek. which were
purchased by the government in 1892,
provided the freestone from which the
executive mansion and the older por-
tions of the capitol were built. During
the war of 1s61-65 great supply depot
of the United States army was located
there.

II is not an "honest Injun" canoe. The
inventors of tine craft would resent the
use of the name for such a speedy and
luxurious sailer. But the modern
canoeist says that the same argument
might be used TO prove that modern
steel man-o'-war is not battleship on
account of its improvements, or that
a cannon firing a projectile eleven
miles is not gun. However that may
lie. we had a nice trip down the

STARVATION IMMINENT.
What the New Tariff Law VIII DO for
the Workingman.

the
Interviews with manufacturers as
well as many talks of similar nature
that have been autographed from all
over the country. show conclusively
that the new tariff law must cause a
reduction in wages in certain lines of
trade. Tie logic of the situation is
absolutely irresistible As Henry
Pickands said, speaking o. the iron
business: The new measure simply
means that hereafter the American
workingman must compete with the
foreign IRON mine worker on a basis of
fifty cents per day. The prosperity of
the American workingman has been
brought about by the wall Of protec-
ton which has been built around the
country. That barrier against free
trade is now practically removed; not
entirely, but | believe that it is in a
fair way to be torn down, and its fall
will sound the death knell to any
hope our laboring interests may have
entertained that this country was a
better one for hem than pauperized
Europe"
This forecast, gloomy as it is, would
be justified to the full if it were inn
possible for the workingman to with
draw his vote from the democracy. But
why should he be the slave of that
organ ia ton to his own ruin? The eff
fects of this new law, which is now an
accomplished fact, he cannot evade,
but surely he has the means to blot it
from the statute books by crushing the
party that is responsible for its enact
ment.
At the polls the laboring man is all
powerful. How can he hesitate, then.
which way To cast his ballot when his
vote means living wages or the wages
of the half-starved workers abroad? 1t
is as If the question were put to a
hungry man whether he would have
something to eat or not. 1t is protec-
ton and bread. free trade and starva-

STARTING A CREAMERY.
None But Milk-Producers should BE Al
lowed to Hold stock.

None But Milk-Producers should he Al
lowed to Hold stock.
Notwithstanding the numerous
warnings that have appeared in the
agricultural and daily press during the
past year, the creamery shark" con-
tinues to reap his harvest. The term
creamery shark" has been earned by
and is applied to the individual, or
firm, who goes into locality where
the farmers are ignorant of the dairy
business, and by securing the help of a
few influential farmers by
the distribution of few hundreds of
dollars-succeeds in organizing CO.
operative creamery company and Sc
cures a contract for putting in plant
at about twice what it is worth.
In some paper not long ago | saw an
article detailing the manner in which
the farmers of that locality had been
swindled, as outlined above. In COM
menting on it the editor said that the
business men of the town were will
ing to help the farmers build cream
cry by taking a number of shares each.
While this shows enterprise on the
part OF the business men, and Is com
mendable, yet, strange as it may seem,
an action of this kind on their part
very often endangers the success of
the creamery. A cooperative cream
cry can attain its highess success only
when the members of the company are
producers of milk. When the stock
holders invest their money purely as a
speculation and are not patrons, the
advantages of cooperation are partial
ly destroyed.
An abundant supply of milk is the
first essential to the success of the CO.
operative creamery, and one should
never be started until sufficient num-
Der of men who have milk to sell are
willing to invest the money required
to build it. Hundreds of creameries
are now standing idle simply because
not milk enough can be secured to
Justify them in running. Hence, to
insure sufficient supply of milk every
stakeholder should be a producer of 1t.
This is the true principle of coopera-
ton.
As a rule, when the capital of the
business men of a town goes into CO.
operative creamery, it is a detriment
rather than benefit. If enough
money cannot be raised among the
farmers, it is usually better to wait
until it can.-Farm and Dairy.
