HYPOCRISY.

The meaningless phrase in the repnbl.
can platform, 1--WE renew our faith in
the policy Of protection to American
labor, is not there without a purpose.
1t is a bid for the vote of the man who
is inclined to hurrah whenever he hears
the word ..labor" and who follows blind.
~ the politician who declares himself to
be q friend of the workingman. This
class is small and is becoming smaller.
A little consideration will show how
meaningless is the phrase. The repub-
lican policy of protection is tariff policy.
By taxing foreign products imported
Into the United States it gives the Amer
lean manufacturer an advantage in
the markets Of the United States, The
American manufacturer has used this
advantage to form trusts and to raise
the price of his product to consumers
without regard to cost Of production.
The scale of wages paid to the work
ingman in the protected industries is il
no way affected by the protective tariff
The manufacturer pays as low scale o
wages as will suffice to secure the labo
he needs. He would have to pay tn,
same scale whether he was protected o
not, because he could not get the labo
he needs for less.
The protection therefore operates onl,
to increase his profit by keeping on,
| foreign competition. The persons who
consume his product, the workingmal
amoung Others, is obliged to pay tn
higher price which the tariff enables tn,
manufacturer to impose. When, in ad
dition to the profit given him by tn
tariff, the manufacturer avails himself O
combination into trusts, the oppression
| of the consumer is CALLING.
/ The protection of American labor
which the tariff has given is shown b.
the throwing out of employment G
thousands Of travelling salesman and {
additional thousands of workingme
who were employed by the small man
ufacturers whom the trusts threw out {
business. The closing of the glass work
at Crystal City is home example.
The specious phrase in the platforr
will hardly accomplish the object 8
which it aims. Americans are not dun
mics who think with their ears. The
will analyze the phrase and the analya
will not be to the advantage of the me
who use it.-St. Louis Republic.

Climate and Crop Service,

six working days, affording favorable
conditions for haying and harvesting
operations in all sections. And the
time was well improved. In the south.
ern section haying is about completed,
and harvesting small grain is we'll ad.
yanced.
Returns of early threshing in that sec.
ton indicate a better yield than had
been expected. In the central and
northern sections harvesting is we'll be.
gun and grain is maturing rapidly,
promising fair to good yield. The chief
drawback is that grain Of heavy growth
is badly lodged; but loss from that cause
will not be large,
Many of the earlier reports expressed
fears of injury to corn and other inn.
mature crops from effects Of dry weather,
But these approximations have been
happily dispelled by copious showers
that fell in nearly every county on the
l4th and 18th. The showers generally
fell moderately, and the moisture was
nearly all absorbed by the soil; but our
observer at Pringhar reports total of
1885 inches. and at the station near
Alta the AMOUNT is reported to be $50
inches.
While some local damage may result
from excess, these showers have been
