How the Old Infant Thing Works.

In the expressive vernacular of the
boys the above heading is good one
to express the idea of the cartoon in
PLAIN DEALER today.
For surely our mewling, wheeling,
snarling infant industries, which are
always bawling for further babying
and cuddling at the expense of the
people should, by good rights be old
enough and big enough to run alone
by this time.
That "Pussey" fellow with the big
jowls on him who is busily engaged in
looking benevolent, smoking and
holding farmers noses to the grind
stone all at one and the same time, is
an INFANT and rather of delicate
specimen when compared with such,
for instance, as Carnegie, but our
anxiety is not to have our cartoons
exaggerate.
To avoid the possible charge of
linked metaphors" we will say that
the grind-stone is not sho uting for
more cuddling, that remorseless rota-
tor is the 'high tariff, and has the
proprietary imprint of its owners on
Its most CONSPICUOUS part.
OF course our bright progressive
friends don't need this explanation,
but to get a truth, or a joke into some
heads, almost surgical operation is
required.
Behold the factory employee who
turns the grindstone, his pallid
shrunken face resting against the
breast Of the robust manufacturer.
One would almost suppose by his
close contact he would draw to him
self some thing of life and strength,
but not 30, the tide of vitality goes to
the manufacturer.
When ''Squeers" the master of
Dotheboys Hall went up to London
to secure more scholars, he took with
him his son and heir, "Wackford" to
illustrate the culinary resources of his
educational institution. The chubby
youngster was seated on a table
where the admiring father made an
object lesson of him, punching him
with his forefinger and calculating
here's fat, here's plumpness, here's
richness. Newman Noggs mourn
fully remarked, God pity the rest of
them, for this boy has all the fat of
the whole school, all, ALL" CHANGING
at the manufacturer and at the man
at the crank, the employee, you see
the application SO we will pass on.
Our faImer friends don't squirm
and kick as much as we would natur-
ally think they would; the fact is they
have become so used to this protocols
sharpening act, that it is now accept
ed as one of the inevitable facts of
existence.
This man on the right whose nose
is striking fire, has clenched his fist
and we hope will soon get his mad up
to such pitch that he will give Mr..
Self-Satisfied manufacturer. a left
handed lick Cat the ballot box under
the butt of the ear that will ''knock
him out"

By far the most alarming news fo

By far the most alarming news for
Americans is further developments re.
garding the commercial invasion of
the Japanese in the United states.
Matches equal to the best parlor
match manufactured in this country,
and which our merchants sell three
boxes for five cents, are now being
sold in the streets of San Francisco at
twentyfour boxes for cents, which is
very much less than they can be
manufactured in this country. A
gentleman from San Francisco
brought some to The Silver knight,
and they are most excellent in quality
Bicycles of very superior quality
which we have been paying from 800
to $3.50 for are being sold for $1,000
each.-It is said that Japan has now
her factories built and in full opera
ton, and is ready to supply the peo-
pie of the United States with almost
all kinds of merchandise at rates
much less than they can be manufact-
ured for in this country. This comes
from two causes, viz: The price of
labor and the difference in exchange.
The wages they pay, say for watch
maker the best 10 cents day; poor
est,~3 cents. They bring a watch
here and sell it for $500 a good hunt
Ing case silver watch which costs
here from home manufacturers $40 to
$l2 at the factory. Our factories pay
from So to $1.25 day for labor-gold
price. 1t can be readily seen what we
have to meet. The Jap pays wages
Gin gold value) u cents to cents per
day; brings the watch here and sells
for Va, gold. Now, the difference be-
tween gold exchange and silver gives
him $S silver for the watch. This in
vaslon means the destruction of all
OF our manufacturing industries and
the pauperizing of our laboring peo-
pie, unless it can be met. If we should
Immediately remonetize silver, that
would mean 100 per cent, protection,
and at the same time, would in a
measure, give us the advantage in
Europe, which the Jap has here, and
every manufacturing establishment in
Europe would have to close. If we
remain on the gold basis, the Jap in.
vasion means absolute ruin to us. II
we attempt to protect by tariff duty
1t would have to be from 500 to 1000
per cent. Under our treaty, this duty
can not be made against Japan alone
but must be made against all nations
alike.
Such tariff against Europe means
absolute prohibition and the building
OF commercial wall around the I'm.
tied States. Silver knight.

Ex-Gov. Boies seems to be growing
in favor as a presidential candidate.

If the silver men capture the Chica-
