General Hancock, in his letter
of acceptance of the Democratic
nomination for the Presidency in
1880, laid down the proposition
that the tariff is purely a local
issue, and many politicians gave
that utterance as the sole cause of
Democratic defeat that year, but
be that as it may, the lessons
taught by every succeeding at
tempt in change in tariff duties
has fully demonstrated the wis
dom of the statement. Take for
illustration what took place dur
ing the forming of the schedules
for the Wilson bill. After the
Democratic party had won its sig
nal victory on purely a tariff re-
form platform and on tariff re-
duction pledges the only difficulty
experienced was as to which To-
calities the reform was to be
made in.
All the Democrats agreed that
reforms must be had, but each
section wanted its own products
let alone and the reduction made
somewhere else and hence the
greatest wrangle that was ever
witnessed in a legislative body, re-
sulting in the overturning of the
party then in power. And now
when the party of protection
comes in we find to-day at Wash
ington just the same condition of
affairs existing as we did during;
the forming of the Wilson bill,
and each locality of the country
is clamoring for protection to
their respective industries, so
after all, the tariff is purely a
local issue.-Kanawha Gazette.
Without gong into a dlscus-
sion of the merits or dement's
cf reciprocity, which was one of
the features of the Mckinley tar
iff law placed there by the sole
determined efforts of the late
James q. Blaine and repealed by
the Wilson-Gorman law, it is
deemed eminently proper to say
that reciprocity when applied to
our tariff laws, is nothing more
nor less than free trade, pure and
simple, as the effect of the policy is
that we admit certain articles from
other countries free of duty II con
sideration of our privilege of send
ing our products there free of
duty. Free trade means the adj
mission of articles without being
required to pay any tariff duties on
them, hence when we. admit such
articles it is to that extent free
trade.

Starving in India.


Reports continue to come from
India stating that thousands OF
men, women and little children are
dying each day from actual starya-
ton, caused not from want of
industry or energy of the people,
but almost the complete failure of
the bread stuff crops in that coun-
try. India is virtually under the
protectorate of England and the
latter nation with al lis wealth
should not permit the helpless to
starve while corn and wheat are
found in abundance the rest of the
world over, neither should other
civilized or christianized nations
permit it.
