FREE RAW MATERIAL.
A Democratic Measure Which Is Fatal t
American Workmen.

Democratic Measure which Is Eatal tI
American Workmen.
The democratic party demands that
all raw material entering into our
manufacturing products when brought
from foreign countries shall be entered
free of customs duties, whether the
like material exists in our own cOun-
try or not, and the Wilson bill endeav-
ors to realize this demand. The rea-
son given is that this will enable US to
make and sell such manufactures at
cheaper rates, and to send them abroad
for sale in the markets of the world.
1t is said that our manufacturers have
the capital, our wOrknen have the
skill, and our inventors the ingenuity
to produce tools and machines, SO that
with raw material free from tariff tax
alton we can compete with any other
nation. BY raw material is meant the
products Of the forest, mine and farm.
Hence coal, iron ore, lumber, wool,
hemp etc. are to go on the free list in
order to make cheap goods for foreign
markets as well as at home.
From this policy the republican par
ty dissents: ~ Because it deprives
our miners, lumbermen and farmers Of
the home market for the proceeds Of
their labor. (2) Because it deprives US
of the opportunity Of converting our
own material into manufactured goods.

Portends Disaster.
More than year has passed since 1T
was announced at Washington that
congress was to be convened Tor the
purpose of bringing to a close the
financial crisis or panic that was then
everywhere present. The presldeh0
and congress assured the people that
with the repeal Of the purchasing
clause of the Sherman act business
would be restored to its normal condi-
tion and the times would again smile
with prosperity; but all these state
ments and prophecies have come TO
naught. The level of prices IS not yet

whore. and no one can tell to-day what
tho result is to be- Business interests
everywhere stand idle and without
hope. Capital is seeking place OF IN
vestment without encouragement; and
i NAV truly be said that the markets
are more uncertain than at any other
period in the history of our country
Added to the present depressed condl-
+;on If trade we have now the most eH-
tensive strike ever known in the
limited States. The loss entalled by
This and the other strikes which
have preceded it within the past few
months must take from the common
neople many hundred millions OF dol
lars. besides destroying the industries
that were barely living in the hope OF
continuing until times might change
for the better. From Bradstreet and
Dnn we learn that the average que
tations Of twenty leading stocks sank
tho other day almost to the level OF
last January, having lost as much as
was gained under a feeling of in
creased confidence. Wheat is seven

auctions for the half year are SO mucF

decrease in value, which has changed

CLASS LEGISLATION.
Detestable Schemes Resulting from the
Ascendency of the Democracy.

Detestable Schemes Resulting from the
Ascendency of the Democracy.
Perhaps one Of the most detesta bic
schemes of class Legislation ever pro-
posed in an American congress was
that clause of the present tariff act
which repeals the sugar bounty and
destroys the sugar beet industry.
To the farmers Of the west, the estab-
lishment Of this industry opened a new
and almost unlimited field. The
official statistics show that under the
opera ton Of the sugar bounty, the pro-
duction Of beet sugar increased from
six millions of pounds to forty-four
millions of pounds in one year. The
outlay necessary to provide this won
derful increase could not possibly have
been made had it not been understood
that both the spirit and the intent of
the law gave promise Of perpetuity at
least for ten years for the enterprise
To strike down this promising source
of national wealth at this time is an
outrage beyond the description of hu-
man language.
One Of the worst phases of the whole
qustion presents itself to the people of
the west. that the two states which
will suffer most Nebraska and Kansas,
are parties to the crime through the
action of their populist senators, Allen
and PETER What have the people to
hope for when men claim and clamOr
for public recognition in the national
counsels, and vote to destroy promised
prosperity.

and thus adding to our employments
and wealth. 81 Because wool, coal,
iron ore, lumber and such things are
not raw material. Nothing IS raw ma
terial which the labor of man has taken
out of it's natural condition. a. Be-
cause the scheme is fallacy unless it
is meant that all wages shall be re-
duced to the lowest standard of the
world. The raw material spoken Of is
cheaper where cheaper labor exists,
anG than it can be after we have paid
the cost o. transportation.
In short, cheap goods mean low
wages, and we must have lower wages
and cheaper goods than other nations
to compete with them in their own
markets. Our own material is un-
taxed; hence un taxed material will not
do it without low wages
