1t has been found by the Philadel-
phia Society for the Prevention Of
Tubercolis that the hospitals Of that
city provide room for only about 1875
consumptive patients, the policy being
to refuse admission to all except this
limited number. The society asserts
positively that without contagion con-
sumption would disappear from the
list Of diseases, and it asks for the es-
adjustment Of a hospital large enough
to accommodate all sufferers from the
malady. They point to the fact that
since the idea that consumption is
contagious became prevalent in Phila-
i,delphia the mortality there from that
disease has decreased 80 per cent.

THE TARIFF.
Seth BOttOmley Thinks 1t Has Done
Great Injury.

II
Great Injury.
To the Editor:
Most Republican newspapers are blaming
the Democrats for the present embargo
on American beef and pork in Europe
This is 1.-The unkindest cut of ALL as it
must be clear to everyone that it was Nc
Kinleys little Ratchet that did the bust
ness.
At the state Alliance meeting held in
Mankato in 1882 in a debate on the tariff
plank with John Dimond and Dave Morse,
I stated that sooner later the high
tariff policy would bring a boycott on our
produce by the European nations. A few
years after that England started in by
ing wheat growing in that country. Not
only did she build railroads but she spent
millions of dollars in teaching the Hindoo
farmers how to raise it, sending English
farmers out there for that purpose and
furnishing the necessary tools, seed and
teams to help them make a start with.
Statistics will show that that was the
beginning of Indian wheat raising and the
end of the Minnesota farmers dollar-a-
bushel wheat. The immediate cause of
the matter was that England's wheat crop
has been bad for five successive years, the
last year being an almost total failure.
The wheat gamblers took advantage of
both the American farmers necessity and
the English consumer by buying all the
wheat they could lay hands on at a low
rate and then holding it until John Bull
squealed for it, at the spectators own
price We farmers have been paying for
those squeals ever since, and shall have to
to the end. England was driven into the
move for her own protection. Continental
Europe will add revenge and retaliation
to self interest.
The last punch the poor Denis get is
from the Martin County Sentinel, and is
as. follows: THE idiotic policy of the
idiotic Democrats seems to have shut
American beef and pork out of every for
eign country" etc. This comes with bad
grace from a rabid high tariff sheet 1t
