CHEAP GOODS AND CHEAP MEN.
The president of the United StasaiM

The president OF the CnlVtu~ snAa&&MMtku
his al.-.-ol mssssSs-s~snge 80, talks very
glibly about the reduced prico of goods
compensating for any reduction of wages
which might be brought about by his tar
III policy. And this is, to great extent,
the stock in trade of the free trade theor-
lists.
Oh, yesl Cheap goods and cheap pro-
ducts Of the workshop and the farm are
the things TO make men happy and con-
tented with their lot in life. We deny 1t
utterly. Adults, with no one depending
upon them, may be satisfied with bare
living. But the wage worker, the toiler in
summers lassitude and winters frosts
and SHOWS, wants more than n living He
wants something for old age-something
for his children. Besides being fed and
clothed they want books to read, and pens,
and ink, and paper, and pencil. They
want an education with which to fight
life's battle
Go talk to the toilers in the iron hills
and coal mountains in Pennsylvania and
Virginia, or the bituminous coal deposits
of the great west about the advantages OF
cheap food, and cheap clothing, and cheap
commodities of every description, and they
will tell you very quickly that what they
want is steady employment and good
wages, and they will take care of the food
and clothing part Of this whole business.
We are opposed to cheap goods and cheap
agricultural products. Cheap goods and
cheap products mean cheap labor-starva-
ton wages for toiling slaves, without hope
and without ambition for the future. Huts
and novels, and nakedness, and pauperism,
and crime follow sadly after the procession
Of cheap labor The greatest advantage OF
protection, however, is to be seen in the
condition of labor under its mantle. Wages
are not only higher than in England, Italy,
Hungary, Poland and other free trade or
semi-free trade countries, but the condi-
ton of the laborer is infinitely more bear
able and hopeful. He may live comfortably
and respected, and he may educate his
children and expect them to become worthy,
useful and leading citizens They are ell
gible to all places under the government,
capable of any business enterprise, and
may hold any social position. This state
of things exists only where protection is
general, and it is that only in the United
States. Goods are cheap in Italy, in Hun
gary and in Poland, but labor is cheaper,
and the laborer cannot buy. The laboring
man emigrates from free trade countries
to protective ones, not from protective
countries to free trade ones. Cheap labor
is a national curse. Nay, more, it is bar
barism itself. III paid labor means de-
graded standard of life. Therefore, well
paid labor and its attendant consequences
are to be desired and are not to be feared.
The cost of living is reduced to a common
factor. The price fixes the condition. Bar
barism is the condition.

FARMERS AND THE NEW TARIFF.

FARMERS AND THE NEW TARIFF.
Considering that we are told by the
Democrats that "of the staple agricultural
products, including meats and provisions,
we are such large exporters, and must con-
tinue to be such large exporters, that any
duties upon them are useless for protec-
ton and fruitless for revenue, and gener-
ally can be imposed only for the purpose
of deluding the less intelligent of our far
mers," etc, it will be difficult to explain
upon what principle the duty on horses,
which last year yielded revenue of about
S400, 900 upon an importation amounting
in value to one and a quarter millions, In
reduced more than on@third.
Is there less moral turpitude in 90 than
In 80 per cent of deceit? Or does it pro
ceed from fear that by saving to the
northwestern farmer annually two or
three million dollars paid for Canadian
baron?
Why is the duty on barley, which last
year brought over half million in reye
nue., reduced from GAGS to 20 per cent?
Upon what principle is one-half of the
$780, 600 collected on cheese last year re
mitted by a reduction of e-half the pres
ent dutys
Last year imported beans paid into the
national treasury nearly half million;
this bill reduces the duty more than half.
The duty on hay, hops, honey and onions
last year swelled the government receipts
by nearly a million and n quarter, every
dollar of which was paid by foreign pro
ducers, yet this is reduced by nearly one.
half.
The 'tax' on imported potatoes brought
to the government treasury last year over
a million, at the rate of 51.96; yet three
fifths of this is abandoned for the benefit
of the foreign producer by reduction to
2O.7S.
The government, however, is allowed te
recoup for these remissions by duty OF
SO. 80 on rice and ~. .Ss per cent. ON peanuts.
This will, however, hardly compensate the
treasury, or content the northwestern
farmer, when it is considered that almost
800, 600 was last year collected for imported
eggs, at cents per Dozen which this bill
abandons, and that the American hen
must adjust herself to the system OF cheap
production and competition with foreign
labor

INDIAN TERRITORY TRIBES.
Senator TslIers Bill for Bringing
Them Under United States

The first fruits of the recent visit
of Senators Teller and Pratt of the
i've civilized tribes is seen in q bill
introduced by Senator Teller. All
that part of the United States bound
ed by Kansas, Arkansas, Texas and
Oklahoma is to be known legally and
odicially as the Indian Territory. A
Supreme Court ard three Uuitcd
States Courts are to be established.
The Judges are to be appointed BY
the President. the present Judge to
be the Chief Justice. Jurisdiction
in civil and criminal matters is con-
fsrred On these courts, save in crimes
committed by the full-blOod Indian
, against another full-blood. The laws
of the United States and the crimi-
nal laws of Arkansas are TO executed
in the Indian Territory by this system
of courts. The Territory is to be
divided into. three divisions. For the
first division sessions of court are to
be held at MuskOgee aud Vinita; for
the second at South McAlebter and
Atoka, for the third at Ardmo and
Purcell. The Supreme Court may
establith cne other place of holding
court on the Rock Island Railroad in
the Chickasaw Nation. AT least two
o. \ hn1A i
in each division. From the elaborate
provisions for the business of the
courts it is evident that the intention
of the bill is to bring the people of
the Territory under United States
laws. This is a long step toward the
end of the po'iCy of nOninterference
which has been observed toward the
five civilized tribes.
