MEANING OF PROSPERITY.

1t is not the Democratic tariff which
has restored prosperity, or revi we'd bust
ness. Tariffs never bring prosperity.
They are burden, a tax, which is a
burden on prosperity always and every
where. A tax cannot create wealth; it
only interferes with its distribution. A
tariff tax does not create prosperity; it
only LOCALITIES and centraliZeS it. at the
cost and impairment of industry in
ether lines. Whatever revival there is.
is due to the lessening of the burdens.
The only value of the revival of in
dustry since the tariff act was enacted
and went into operation is the evidence
it affords of the good effect of a dimin-
ished interference in the distribution of
wealth through the processes of taxation.
The new act puts its hand little less
into the pockets of the consumers of
this nation than did the Mcki nley act.
which it replaced. To that extent it
leaves little more money i'll their pOck-
cts to transact the business of their
various vacations with. AS an objeat
lesson its value is in teaching the peO-
pie that il diminutlon in the interfer-
ence of the distribution of wealth they
produce by their labor produces this
quantity of good results. further diminu-
ton Will prove more beneficial, and that
industry will be at last free and at its
best when the interfering hand Of
government is removed, and it is left to
use all the wealth it creates as it will.

ONE PARALYZED INFANT

We are perfectly free to admit that
there is one industry in the United
States that will receive very severe, If
not fatal, shock by reason OF the new
tariff act. 1t has been so silent while
some of its fellow infant industries
have been bleating plaintlvely, that we
are not at all certain but that it is
already dead and silent. We refer to
the manufacture OF shoddy, which has
been SO generally the basis of the "all-
wool" ready-made clothes which have
been sold SO cheaply hitherto in our
markets.

WINSTON JOINS HIS OWN.

F. u. Winston, Of Chicago, who was
minister to Persia under President
Cleveland's first administration, has
tardily arrived at the conclusion that
he cannot support ''the disastrous policy
adopted by the last congress with refer
ence to the business interests of the
country" and will bolt the legislative
and congressional tickets in Illinois. In
other words, Mr.. Winston Is a protec.
zionist, and is opposed to the present or
any further tariff reduction because, as
he says, Il cannot, with due regard to
my own interests, do anything to con-
time what perceive to be this disas-
trous policy"
After saying this, he has the
effrontery to proclaim that he is
"stili a Democrat" The reception
which the Chicago Tribune gives him
is evidence that that paper at least con-
Guides he is not Democrat, but is a
very good Republican. He is of the
same stripe as the Louisiana sugar
planters, but does not possess their
frankneSs or courage.

as another indication of the process of
reaiignment that is gong on all over the
country. under which men are leaving
one party and joining the other as their
convictions or interests may determine
them. In spite Of all that may be said
by men of either party. the issue is
plainly shaping itself into ultra-protec-
ton OIL the one hand and ultra free
trade on the other. 1t is again a con-
fiict of radically antagonistio principles,
which puny n.en cannot avert and
which must 90 on until one or the other
finally triumphs.

The Democratic State Com

Quar- tiers.

The Democracy. as well as a large
part of The Republican party OF Stearns
county. will be solid for Maj. Baldwin
OH election day. During the week end
ing today Maj. Baldwin has made tour
OF Stearps which has proved continual
ovation. Wherever he has appeared,
whether at Melrose, ST. Joseph. Rock
vile, Cold Spring, Richmond, Albany,
Spring Hill, st. Augusta. Sank Center,
or any one of a score of the other towns
and villages i'll the county. he has been
received by crowds Of enthusiastic cit
liens. On this trip the number Of
speeches made was, of course, limited,
but the number of sterling Democrats
who were enlisted In the cause is suffi-
cient to give the best member OF con-
gress the district has ever had d round
$500 plurality over the Republican
nominee. young Mr.. Towne. at the coin-
ing election.
The people of Stearns county like
Maj. Baldwin. as do all who admire a
courageous man everywhere. For the
hrst time in their history they are rep
resented in congress by man who is
able to do something for the district "a
man who has been heard from after his
arrival in Washington. An indication
OF the way In which this feeling has
taken hold of the people is shown by
the following statement made by a
farmer who came in from the country
to meet and hear Maj. Baldwin at st.
Joseph on Tuesday evening:
How They Turned Out.
II was In the field blowing" he said,
''when about O'Clock heard from one
OF my neighbors that Congressman
Baldwin was to be here, aud l stopped
right there and came to town. We
never knew that we had congressman,
representing us in Washington until
Maj. Bald win went there, and wanted
to see him"
But Maj. Baldwn's great strength
lies in the statements he makes to the
people who turn out to hear flinl He
is able to tell them what he has done
for the people who elected him, and
where he stands on all matters which
affect his district; how he has check
mated the schemes of the pine land
rings i'll the Red Lake Indian res-rva-
lion. and bow he proposes to continue
to fight for the people. Naturally
enough such speeches take when com.
pared with those OF Mr.. Towne. who
mas nothing to say on the vital issues
OF the Sixth district. His paraphrases
of the speeches OF Lincoln and other
great Republicans do not take; the PEG.

and while they admire it in the school

JUDGE GAYNoH's ULrIMATUM

Every true Democrat in the land will
this morning read with regret the an
nOuncement of Judge Gaynor that he
cannot accept the nomination for judge
OF the court of appeals of the great state
of New York. Judge Gaynor is known
throughout the nation because of his
steady fight the past five years for
purity of elections in the section of New
York in which he lived, and just at the
hour when he had achieved his crown
ing success the Democrats of the En-
pire state sought to show their appreci-
alton of his great work by elevatine
him to the commemorative highest
bench. In letter full of pathos the
brave hearted jurist declines the crown
laid at his feet. but does not forget be-
fore laying down his pen to pay high
tribute to Senator Hill for his faithful
work in the Interest of tariff reform in
the closing days of the last session of
congress. Judge Gaynor Is one of
Americas great men, and ths day will
yet come when lie will be further hon
ored by the people of his state. and,
mayhap, by the nation.
