POINTS OE DIFFERENCE.

The American sheep farmer and wool
grower pays taxes for township purposes;
pays taxes for county purposes; pays taxes
for state purposes; contributes to the build
ing of churches; contributes to the sup
port of the ministry; seeks to raise and
educate his children to be useful, Christian
people in the world. His lands are valued
at S25 to 500 per acre.
The Australian sheep grower raises
wool on lands rented for few cents per
acre. He pays no township taxes; he pays
no county taxes; he pays no state taxes
he pays no road or bridge taxes; he sup
ports no church or other enlightening in
stitution. He simply raises wool, and
now under the new tariff law he comes
into the American market and competes
with the American farmer.
This is tariff reform''-free wool to
drive the American farmer out of bust
ness; to reduce him and his family to
want; to rob him Of the thousands of dol
lars that his sheep were worth under pro-
tactinp

The Chinese appear to have become utter

enemy, and they were routed and slaugh

The way seems now completely opened

the melancholy exhibition made by the
Chinese troops on the frontier, where de-

manufactured product Of the manufact-
urer 1t has protected the rice Of the south
and the barley Of the north, but the Cor
man tariff bill, while continuing protec-
tion to the rice of the south has diminished
the protection to the barley of the north, so
much so that imports of Russian barley
are shortly expected at New York. The
next southern industry that will probably
need protection will be that of raw cotton,
in view of the large quantity of that com
modify that has been grown in other parts
of the world, more of which is each year
finding its way into our markets. When
the south finds its cotton growing industry
needs protection it will also find that the
Republican party will be glad and willing
to vote for its protection.

LABOR AND CAPITAL.

The claim that the protective policy robs
labor for the benefit of capital is shown to
be false by results. Under protection
labor has steadily gained on capital in the
division of their united earnings. In 1850
labor received s44.50 and in 1890 $3.50 out
of each hundred dollars worth of net
produces, while capital had $3.50 in 1850
and $3.50 in 1890. Labor advanced from
$3.50 to 1885, or 20 per cent, while capital
went from 1851 to $40S an advance of only
40 per cent This shows difference in
favor of labor of 80 per cent.

SMOKE FROM THE CHIMNEY.

Not later than the early part of this
month between fifty and sixty ladies and
gentlemen living in ST. Louis were invited
to visit the springs at St. Clair, Michigan,
where they were highly entertained and
had a trip on a steam yacht up the river.
During this trip the captain called the at
tention of the party to a smoke stack, 100
or more feet high, saying: "See that smoke
coming from the chimneyP That factory
has been closed for.eighteen years, and last
week was the first time since 1876 that it
has been in operation"
A couple of prominent st. Louis citizens,
who are strong Democrats, Immediately
jumped up and said: "What can Mckinley
say to that? Here we have started fac
tory running that has been idle for eight
cen years"
AS soon as they had finished their little
jubilee the captain quietly remarked:
"Gentlemen, that factory is ON the Cana
dian Shore 1t was then the turn of the

Much feeling was aroused among the
students of Thiel college this afternoon by
the attack of President Roth on the Re-

said has been failure constitutional

only true form of government for any ma

surprise made by an English student he
was told that this sentiment was more

THE CONSISTENCY OF PROTECTION.

The point is often made that no protec-
tion should be given to the sugar industry
by the payment Of "a bounty, because no
bounty Is given to the farmer who grows
corn or wheat. 1t is forgotten that corn,
wheat and cotton rank on the same foot
ing as the sugar cane and not with the
sugar product which is quite as much a
manufactured product as cotton or wooden
goods which are protected under the Re-
publican policy, which, moreover, aims to
protect the wheat, corn or sugar cane Of
the farmer just as much as it does the

AN EFFECT or THE TARIFF.

The Democrats have always insisted
that there was no necessity for protective
duties on farm products, as other nations
could not possibly send such products here
In competing way. They framed the
new tariff according to this theory, de-
creasing and removing duties previously
imposed upon articles of that kind, and
now the farmers are beginning to have
object lessons presented to them upon the
subject of the practical working of the
non-protective policy.
For example, consignment of eleven
cars OF cattle was received at Chicago o
few days ago from Mexico, u thing hereto
fore unknown in that market. These cat
tie, numbering 234 steers and fifty COWS,
were shipped from a ranch at Sabinas,
Mexico, crossing the line at Eagle Pass,
and the freight on them was $l6155 per
car, and the tariff duty-o0 per cent. ad
valorem-amounted in all to about 5000.
They were sold at prices averaging
&lO.S3 per head, and after payment
OF all expenses the shipper had good
profit left, and predicted that the success
OF his experiment would result in largeex
ports Of cattle from Mexico to this country,
as they can be raised there on native grass
at comparatively small cost, and profit
ably transported by rail across a large por
tion OF the United States and sold at rates
which put domestic competition out of the
question. Thus we have one of the effects
of the Democratic tariff law, and it is GER
tainly not an agreeable ono for agricultural
voters to contemplate.

FREE TRADE, as advocated by the Dem
ocratic party, is for revenue only. Dis
carding the policy Of protection to all
American Industries, the tariff is laid on
non-competing products that the people
most need, and when on competing prod
ucts it Is made so low as to encourage the
importation of such competing products.
