A Word With the Hot wave Philosopher.
The Eastern Argus philosopher is Will
ing away the hot wave in telling the people
that in case the foreign manufacturer meets
the tariff by cut in prices the consumer
pays the duty. Surely not very exhaustive
philosophy and exceIlently adapted to tenn
perature Of 100 in the shade and CORES
ponding las.itude in mind and body. In the
first place the consumer on this side paid as
much for the goods before the duty was put
on ~ he did afterward, but of what he paid
all went to the profit account of the foreign
manufacturer and none to the support of
government under which the consumer
lived. So in addition he must in some way
contribute his share toward running said
government. Now under the duty, which
the foreign producer hiss cut prices to meet,
the American consumer pays no more for
the goods than he did before the duty went
on, and his burden in sustaining the govern
ment is removed for the foreign
producer takes the smount of the
duty from his profits and con-
tributes it to the support of the govern
ment under which the American consumer
lives. Surely the consumer finds it far
more to his advantage to "pay the duty"
under those conditions than not to pay it.

Some Very Significant Straws.
portland Press.)

Two very significant utterances bearing
on the next Republican candidate for the
presidency have recently appeared. One
of them is an editorial utterance BY the
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, the most
prominent Republican paper in Ohio, which
is published elsewhere in this issue. 1t is
clear and uumistakable suggestion that
in Mr.. Reed the Republicans will
find candidate in every way suited
to their needs, and one who will
arouse the enthusiasm of Republicans all
over the country. Coming from leading
paper of State which contains a promi-
nent candidate, it is of great significance.
The other utterance comes from Col. Con-
ger, the member of the national Republican
committee Of this same state of Ohio. Col.
Conger has seen the report of his words and
declares that it is correct. Col. Conger's
opposition to Mckinley is based on his be-
lief that the nomination of the latter would
make the Mckinley bill the chief issue of
the campaign and would cause the whole
campaign to turn on the question of ap-
proval or disapproval of a particular
measure which great many advo-
Gates of protection have not believed al
together wise. While Col. Conger did
not directly advocate the nomination of
any particular man, he did drop this signifi-
cant sentence when he was speaking of the
criticism he had been subjected to in Ohio
for his opposition to Mr.. Mckinley: 81 do
not quite understand what all this political
hubbab is about, but the people who are
kicking it up are killing off their candidate

HOW IT WILL WORK.
Canadian Farmers Will Profit by the VIII
son Bill.


Canadian Farmers Will Profit by the VIII
son Bill.
The Wilson bill opens our market to
the producers of Canada and gives them
an equal share in all our trade. They
pay no taxes in the United States, they
live cheaper, pay lower wages and can
usually sell for the, same price or even
less and make money.
- Hitherto they, under the Mckinley
bill, have made up what they did not
pay in taxes on farms and plants in the
United States by d protective tariff at
the border. We saw that our own farm
ers, our own worllmen and our own
manufacturers We're given fair show;
that those who built up our towns, in
creased our industries, cleared our lands,
built our schoolhouses and churches
and maintained them-that these were
not subjected to ruinous competition;
that what they expended in the mate
rial development Of the country was
held for them. We all have to pay taxes
and all have to do our due share toward
helping to maintain law and order.
Those who do these things should not
be made to suffer for the benefit of this
stranger, for him whose capital, plant,
farm and industry are i'll a foreign coun-
try and who is not and cannot be fac
tor of our own national wealth. The
Canadian manufacturer, farmer or me-
chanic had to pay at the border tax
equivalent, SO far as could be computed,
to the full cost of the privileges our
market offered him. oiIc
8 1t is very much like city which
builds sidewalks, grades streets, puts in
waterworks, fire systems builds and
maintains schools, erects churches and
does all those things which make life
pleasant and agreeable. Of course these
things cost money, and to meet these ex-
penses taxes are laid ON land, houses,
mercantile establishments, etc.
What would we think of the political
go from house to house and sell every
article of household need and luxury
without let, hindrance, tax or license:
They would drive over streets paved by
the money Of their competitors free OF
any tax. They would return nothing to
the municipality which allowed them to
ply their avocation. They would not be
residents, but carry away to another
place the money they received for their
goods. They might not even eat meal
or spend the cost of nights lodging
there. Surely this would not be justice.
Certainly no town could thrive which
did not, in fair measure, protect her
own taxpayers. Nor can it be argued
that these peddlers should go free OF
tax or license to prevent robbery or ex-
tortion by the local merchants. That.
as an argument, is used by Democrats.
but when analysed its absurdity is shown
at a glance. Competition never fails to
bring down prices--there are merchants
enough and more are ever ready to come
where purchasers are to be found, SO as
to make reasonable price to consumers
