= Taking, by high duties on imported
goods, and high prices extorted by
protected manufacturers through
these duties, largo percentage of the
surplus which the average farmer can
save from the yearly product of his
soil, is equal to taking from him
part of his seed wheat. If he could
retain the bulk of his surplus and in:
vest 1t in better stock, implements,
buildings, or in drains or fertilizers,
these improvements would each year
bring him larger returns. But his inj
dustry was hampered for lack of this
capital, which was stealthily absorbed
by trusts and monopolies created by
protection. A National tax rate,
which, if properly levied, would not
bear heavily on the farmer, becomes
under the high tariff, most oppressive
and destructive.

HIGH TARIFF HUMBUG ABOUT
THAT FLOOD OF Go0D3s

ducts.
The high taxation organs are trying
to get some comfort out of the recent
increase in imports, and are doing
their best to show that we are sure to
DO enriched because we are buying
moro things than we did under Nc
Kinloyism. While it is doubtful il
there is single intelligent business
man, farmer or workingman who be.
lieves that increasing trade is bad
thing, it may be we'll to show the fal-
lacy on which yards of Republican ed
itoriala are being based. s
The old "balance of trade" theory,
which taught that country got rich
by shipping awsy more goods than it
got back had its origin in the delusion
that money, gold or silver, was the
only true wealth. That idea has been
thoroughly exploded since Nations
found out that manufactured goods
contributed moro to their comfort and
prosperity than lot of metal which
they did not need. Yet in another
form 1T is the argument by which
high tariffites are seeking to prejudice
the people against a freer commercial
policy.
Looked at aside from partisan poll
tics, increased imports simply mean
two things: First, that we Americans
can afford to buy more goods than
under high tariff. Second, that for
eigners can afford to take more of our
products in exchange. Goods are not
imported merely for the sake of trad
ing. An importer who did business
on that basis would soon find himself
bankrupt. People buy goods because
they want to use them. In order to
buy them they must first produce
something to pay for them. That
something may be food stuffs, cotton,
manufactured articles or metals. That
this is true no protectionist has even
attempted to deny. Then, since all
our imports are ultimately paid for in
commodities produced by American
labor, what becomes of the false and
dishonest prete4t of the Republicans
that the increased importations mean
that American labor is thrown out of
workp Even if we admit tho claim
that the balance of trade must be paid
in money, gold and silver flor foreign
ers do not take our paper. are not
these metals produced by laborp And
should not increased importations be
welcomed by Americans, because they
know that tho foreigners can now af-
ford to take far more OF our surplus
products, for whion we are trying to
find market?
AS matter of fact very few protec-
tionists really believe their humbug
about tho flood of goods. They try
to scare workingmen into thinking
that laber will be injured by policy
which increases the foreign demand
for their products. But when the
present tariff bill was before Congress,
the MoKinleyifes pointed with pride"
to the great additions which their
tariff made to the free lists. If moro
imports is bad, why did Mckinley en-
large the free list?

An Industry Worth Having.

The kentucky Beet Sugar Company
is foreign corporation whose APP
pearance in this country may very
properly be welcomed. This com
pany is announced as an organization
OF German capitalists who will engage
in the manufacture of beet sugar on
an extensive scale. They propose to
build Mt Bowling Green in Kentucky
plant to cost $3.50, 900, and to have a
capacity of fifty tons of granulated
sugar every twenty-four hours.
The reason for making special men,
ton of this enterprise is that it diff
fers in one notable respect from the
cane sugar industry of Louisiana and
the maple sugar industry of Vermont,
SO dear to the heart of ex-senator Ed.
munds. The difference is that while
these native products refuse to -four
ish except under the stimulating in
fuence of bounty, the foreigners

try in this country. New York
World.
The failure of protective tariffs to
bring prosperity to the farmer has re-
suited in a general demand by the ag-
riculturists of several States for
bounties on their products. The
bounty system is the direct offspring
of the high tariff delusion, and is
equally vicious in principle and prac-
tice. Every opponent OF GLASS iegis-
iation and special privileges for the
few should condemn the giving OF
bounties and protest against the tax
ing of the people of State to benefit
any pet industry. Consistency re-
quires believers in unrestricted trade
to oppose attempts to build up or
maintain any business at the public
expense.

WHY They CackIe.

A protective organ whines because
"the free trade papers cackle' over
the daily increase of wages made in all

the increases only bring back wages to
what they were in 1892. AS the Me-
,Kinley tariff was in full force in 1892
and as the main argument of the pro-
tectionists was that reduction of the
Mckinley rates would necessitate
lower wages it is plain that if there is
