WHAT HUMBUG.

One of those fables that are designed
to teach us the beauties of high pro-
tective tariff, and are published peri
odically in Republican papers, appears
in a recent issue of the New York
Tribune. We are told that large Ger
man manufacturing company is about
to locate an establishment in this coun-
try, which twill create a town and
erect factories for the employment Of
1000 hands," The Tribune dilates with
glee upon the details of this wonderful
undertaking. The plant of the estab-
lishment, it announces, will cost from
$3,0OOO0O to $4,OOO,0OO. There will be Gre
ated tremendous demand for Amer
lean material and labor, and that part
of New Jersey where this concern is to
have its home will be turned into a
veritable paradise. "Yet there are some
persons in this country" says the
Tribune, 'who think tariff which pro-
duces these results is wasteful and
wicked"
this country who have sense enough
not to be fooled by such palpable hum
bug as this. In the first place, the
Tribune itself admits that the German
firm which is going to do all this
might bring over some Of its trained
Workmen and foremen in different de-
partments." It will do not only that,
but it will bring over practically every
man that is employed, If the enter
prise attributed to it by the Tribune be
not pure moonshine. It Is a way that
belongs not only to these foreign capt.
talists. but to our own. The imbecil-
ity Of supposing that tax on COM
modities can benefit labor in this coun-
try, while the door is left wide open to
immigration, passes belief Whenever
any foreign concern has found it profit
able to set up branch in this coun-
try, it has sent over with it, or pro-
cured the coming soon after, Of work
men enough to perform the necessary
labor. The advantageTsto, the laborer
thus disappears entirely.
But there Is another conclusion to be
drawn from the premises laid down by
the Tribune, again supposing them to
be fact and not mere Imagination,
that is worth considering. If it's asser-
ton be true and the German manu-
featuring company Is going to erect
plant in this country, let us consider
what must be the causes and what the
consequences of such act. The German
manufacturer would adopt this policy
only if he had already large market
for his goods in the United Staes, and
if the new duties were such that he
could not supply it with commodities
made abroad. Under the fundamental
proposition of the protectionist, that
wages are higher in the United States
than elsewhere and must be kept so, 1t
will cost this Teuton great deal more
United States than in Germany. He
will have to pay more for his raw ma
terial and his labor. He would have
had to pay more for his labor in any
event He will have to pay much more
for his raw material when the Dingley
bill goes into effect. Therefore, the
commodity which he turns out Of his
American establishment under the new
conditions must cost him immensely
more to manufacture than the product
formerly turned out from his German
establishment Therefore, the consum.

NOT BY A MAJORITY.

Free traders and mugwumps are doing their
best to block the tariff bill entirely, although
1t has been framed according to the platform
supported by the majority OF the popular vote.
New York Sun.
The Sun is striving earnestly to prove
its title to fellowship among the elect
Of Republicanism, and we note with
pleasure it's eminent success. 1t has
rubbed against the world too long not
to know that there is a necessity for
the zealousness Of; converts, II they
would establish themselves solidiy in
their new faith, immune from suspi-
cions Of loyalty, we can imagine the
chagrin that agitated the genial soul
of the venerable Dana as he read in
his unsympatf7etic or suspicious con-
temporaries Of the faith paternal their
ascription Of his opinions, excepted
from the Sun, to "that stalwart Demo-
cratic organ;" but, happily, those dark
days are past, and the Suns doxy no
longer passes under the ordeal Of
doubt. .si4 Il
But in adjusting itself to the various
angles Of its present partisan relations,
it loses sometimes that, simple con-
sistency that graced its opinions when
it adhered to it's earlier faith. Rebuking
some contemporary recently, who had
rashly asserted that the Republican
congress was not redeeming the prom
ise to reform the currency, the Sun
,....,aJ., %f,of fIora q h,1t
one issue in the campaign, and that
was made by the Chicago platform.
This hardly dovetails with the above
assurance. If there was but one issue,
then the majority given the Repub-
lican party was won by that issue and
nothing else Of that majority, even
the Sun will concede, a number suffi-
cient to have made it a minority, had
they refused to, number themselves
with it, were what the Sun, with its
usual gentle satire, terms free traders
and mugwumps Had they taken the
other side of that one great issue, Mr..
Mckinley would not now be consider
ing the Cuban question and the best
way to annex the island, nor would a
Republican house have jumped through
a. protective tariff bill for the senate
to revamp in the direction Of greater
care for the interests Of Senator Aid
rich's New England constituents.
Having thus been appealed to and
won by the one issue, that the Sun
admits overshadowed all others in the
contest last year, and now seeing that
issue laid upon the shelf, with the is
sue that was retired to subordinate
position made the corner stone of the
temple, we submit, even at the risk of
the dissent Of the Sun, that those Of
the free traders and mugWumps who
were foolish enough TO vote the Re-
publican ticket have a right to protest
and to upbraid and. where they can,
to block the way Of a measure being
damned through in redemption Of a
plank Of a platform to which they did
not give their support. Not having had
their support, and they making up the
number necessary to form the majority,
It follows that the Sun errs in assert
ing that the platform was supported
by a majority Of the voters.

Is it really necessary for you to be such a

the coming contest between Billie Lewis,
formerly of Chicago, and Charles Turner of

event will be a ten-round contest, the men TO

There is considerable talk among the pugi-
listie element concerning q proposed match
between Ike Reubens TEN OF San Francisco and
Bishop, who is an unknown from Texas. The
latter appeared in this city several months
ago and advertised for fight with any first
class bantam. Possibly Bishop, now of Texas,
may be a member OF the San Francisco Athletic
