B0UNTYEs ARE NOT POPULAR.

DUN IbO Ann NOL 4 VI CLhA'
If the farmers need protection, and they are
promised 1t, the only way to give it to them
would be the payment OF export bounties
on agricultural products. The farmers, like
the rest Of us, will under the Dingley tariff
have to pay higher for what they buy,
and it is, to put it mildly, very doubtful
whether they will get higher price
for any thing they have 10 sell. They
may even get less if countries to which
we now export corn, wheat, meal, butter,
cheese, &C., should impose retaliatory duties
Nevertheless, while the demand for boun-
ties is under the circumstances logical one,
it is not at all probable that it will finally
be made part of the bill. Bounties are
not popular. AS the New York Times says;
"They have never lived long on American
statute books. The sugar bounties of 1890,
though promised for fifteen years, lasted
only four, and they were withdrawn with
out very strenuous Republican opposition.
The trouble with them is that they are too
plain, too easily understood, while the out
RACES for which they are fair requital are
yelled. Were farmer paid, say, 10 cents
bushel ON wheat everybody would under
stand 1t, but when he has TO pay three times

A BLOW AT LNDUsTRY.

Treasurer Lyman, Of the Lowell carpet
company, agrees with President Houston of
the Hartford company, that the Dingley tax
upon carpet woods Is q blow 10 industry =.
1t will, he says, largely increase the cost Of
carpets without increasing the demand, and
will at the same tine induce the use of cot
ton and other cheap materials in their manu-
facture.
Moreover, II will provoke retaliatcry leg
islation and contract our growing export
trade. Commenting upon President Hous
toms letter Of protest, the New York Jour
nal Of Commerce says: "There lie evident q
tendency among the manufacturers OF the
East toward q large moderation of their
former support Of high duties. Whatever
has become of the Wilson tariff, it has at.
forded an education to manufacturers on
the advantages Of free raw materials and on
the possibilities Of creating an export mar
ket under moderate duties which contain
the seeds Of death TO ultra-protection."

TO OHIO DEMOCRATS.

William Jennings Bryan has set the
proper pace for the Democracy in Ohio
this year. His sharp, bold, vigorous
attacks upon Hannaism wherever he
has spoken appear to have put new life
into the people and awakened them to
realizing sense of the importance Of
the election next Tuesday
If Hanna is beaten he will drop out
of sight and will never be heard from
again in public life, where he is a
menace to popular government
This alone should spur every Dem
ocrat in Ohio to work, work, work
until the close of the polls on election
day to defeat the great representative
of plutocracy, of Doodle, bossism and
corruption in politics, the man, who
to-day stands in his own personality,
in his Unsuitable, selfish and unscrupu-
lous ambition, living menace to the
liberties of the people.
The people can afford to sacrifice
much to work and work steadily to
compass the defeat of this man. His
success depends solely on the money
he has put into the campaign. He has
no support that he has not bought
and paid for, and even this is natur-
ally lukewarm. His candidacy, there
fore, is on the downgrade, his personal
canvass has proved failure,
if not disaster, and as a
last resort he has taken to
sacrificing the State ticket to his own
selfish ambition. This impolitic course
has caused him still greater loss. His
own party = largely IN revolt against
