DIf the new tariff secures adoption

even more profitable to farmers and
fruitgrowers than any period of cor

the past.-San Francisco Chronicle.
DThe tariff discussions have made
one fact clear, and that is that the DEM

free trade.-Iowa State Register.
DTbat new tariff bill bears inspec
ton well. The more closely the people
read it, the better they like it. Some
minor changes may be found desirable
but as a whole it obviously meets "a

measure. But what else could be pro
duced by it's republican framers?- Troy

| DThose democrats who still have
misgivings in regard to protective
tariff now see clearly that the Dingley
bill is a needed revenue measure, a!
well as a needed industrial policy. /
some of the Dingley duties are high be
cause of protection considerations
many more of them are high becaus,
the government absolutely needs tn,
revenues. We have discovered no othe
way successfully and equitably to rails
the revenues necessary to conduct tn
affairs of this great government. Dem
ocrats who are talking against the tar
i'll in Washington have not as far as w
have seen suggested any other feasibl
way of raising the funds of which tn

CRITICISM OF THE RICH.
II would he Much Better TO Correct
Public Evils.

Nothing is 80 easy "a 10 divert the at
tention of @ community like New York
from a real issue 10 fictitious one.
Thus, at q moment when some hard
headed concentration on the gas ques-
ton might have resulted in saving for
the people of New York from 5000
600 to $4,000, 900 a year on their light
bills. a most excellent clergyman com
rnitted the inadvertence of expressing
to his congregation his personal disap-
proval of ostentatious display and Law
ish expenditure as about TO be exhibited
In a certain fancy dress ball. Where
upon the newspapers OF the town be
came wildly hysterical and began TO
print unnumbered columns OF rubbish
about this private entertainment, The
irrepressibles Of the pulpit seized the
opportunity TO launch volumes OF ser
mons upon the ethical and economic as
poets of luxurious expenditure, and the
irrepressibles who had no other outlet
wrote letters 70 the newspapers or Of
fered themselves up to the interviewers.
The entire discussion was without
significance or practical bearing. CIVIL
xation ia a very complex affair. Solong
SIS the laws Of the land are not violated
the rich mans private expenditures are
as strictly matter TO be controlled BY
his own taste and Judgment as the ex-
penditures of the poor man. Capital IN
this country. in our generation, has
been eminently and conspicuously de-
voted TO economic production, and has
not to any appreeiable extent been d.
verified and wasted in wanton luxury.
1t Is none OF the public's business how
the millionaire monopolist spends his
money. but il Is in the highest degree
the publics business how he'has gained
it-especially how It came to pass that
he obtained the franchise or public PRIV
ilege or other favorable opportunity BY
means of which he has enriched him
self. 4 community that permits
monopoly TO charge it SIPS for gas
when, IL it had virtue and character
it could make its own gas and supply
itself at 60 cents thousand feet, shows
itself in a somewhat pitiable light wher
IL affects to criticise rich people for CIV
ing fancy dress balls or living in mt
houses.-Revicw of Reviews.

A NON-PARTlSAN TARIFF.
The DingIey Dill Is National I'm Its
Policy.

II is a matter of history that in the
early DAYS of the republic tariff leSisia-
ton was not made OF married by votes
cast upon party lines. \ majority OF
the members of the early congresses
were protectionists, but all the protec-
tionists were not federalists nor all the
free traders democrats, or republicans,
as the forbears of the modern democrats
were called. a majority of the federal
lists were protectionists, and so were
majority of the republicans. And when
new party alignments were made and
the federalists became wings, and the
republicans came to be known as demo-
Gratis, it was long before protection be-
came a mark of the one and free trade
a note of the other. Not until CAL
houn's time did the democrats become
tree traders-and even then there were
notable exceptions 10 the rule, Presi-
dent Andrew Jackson being one.
Again it is becoming evident that the
economies cannot be tied by the ropes
of party. The democrats Of South Caro-
lima and Louisiana have discovered that
protection is as good thing for them as
for the republicans of Maine and Hi
nois. In very spirited speech in favor
| of protection of raw cotton and to the
manufactures of that fiber Mr.. McLau-
| rim, of South Carolina, answering a
member who had asked: rs not free
trade a pet doctrine of democracy
said:
ut Is the pet doctrine OF the democracy
! that Is represented by Cleveland and Car
| Isle, and by those who have degraded the
| name Of democracy"
This is we'll said. Free trade was not a
pet doctrine of jefferson, nor of Jack
son, nor Of Douglas, nor of Tilden. 1t is
a relic of Calhounism that survives 1.-THE
peculiar institution" upon which Cal
hounism was based. Calhoun himself
was at one time a strong protectionist,
and he would have been protectionist
to the day of his death but for his per-
ception of the fact that American fac.
tories and well-paid American workmer
in the north were ringing the death
knell of slavery in the south.
But slavery is dead. The south ought
to live, and we are sure that it will live
to share in the blessings OF protection
The south ought to be as full of fac
tories, foundries and FORCES as thu
north; its cities ought to be as numer
GUS and as large; its artisans and farm
ers as prosperous as those OF the north
Protection is a national, not party
policy. The Inter Ocean has preached
| this doctrine from the beginning, ant
has regretted that the south has insist
ed upon treating as partisan that which
is national. But the end is at hand. TIL
new tariff is likely to be non partisan Il
that it will be approved by consider
able element of the democratic organ
zation.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

For Lady Readers,

The discovery of McElree's Wine Of
Cardui has brought about revolution
in the treatment of the common COM
plaits, from which all women sometimes
suffer, called Female Diseases" The
belief that these troubles could only be
treated after examinations by physi-
clans, and frequently only cured by
the surgeons knife, was once wide
spread. The dread of such treatment,
and exposure, kept thousands Of mod
est women silent about their suffering.
They preferred the pains and torture
to going to physician about such
matters.
1t has now been demonstrated that
nine cases out of ten of women's dis
orders, painful and troubleson as they
are, do not require the attention of a
physician at all. Local treatment" OF
"private examinations" have been
shown to be entirely unnecessary. The
simple, pure Wine of Cardui taken il
the privacy of the home, insures quick
relief.
1t is entirely unnecessary for any
woman to suffer from these almost uni
versal complaints. She can get bot
tie of McElree's Wine Of Cardui at tn
nearest drug store for 81 90 and quickl.

arrangements. Thousands of womel
