THERE ARE NO EVILS.

There are no evils in protective
tariff. II there are drawbacks they
are so few and insignificant that they
are completely lost sight of when the
manifold advantages are considered.
The American people have by an over
whelming vote repeatedly conourred
in this opinion, and will doubtless
continue to do go. Even the farmer,
who is the most independent man
in America today because he is al
ways certain Of living and has to
look to no man for it because he raises
it, is dependent on the protective tar
& i'll for the sale of his surplus product.
Every man in the country, from the
farmer to the clerk and office boy, is
dependent on protective tariff indirect
, ly to some extent, so me more SO than
: athsrs % On business depends the
clerk, bookkeeper, merchant; and bus
mess depends on the demand for any
class of goods, II this country were
thrown open to the cheap products OF
other countries it can readily be seen
that the demand for the home made
product would be certain to diminish,
for the supply would become so great
that the demand would be less, and
consequently the price less. In cut
ting down the wages of the working
man-aDd working man" embrace 9
every man who works, whether it be
with a hammer making buggy tires, in
the mines digging coal or operating
railroads or steamboats-the wages
of every other man would be in a
measure affected. because the less
the army OF working men have to
spend the less will there be for mer'
chants, clerks and others connected
with the mercantile establishments.
As a matter of fact the consumer
here does not have to pay more for
products than the foreign consumer
1t was claimed just before the last
election by the chairman of the Demo
cratic national committee that the
home consumer had to pay more thar
the consumer in foreign countries fol
certain products, but the Republican,
soon exploded the story and proved il
WAS only a campaign prevarication.
. One thing is certain, however, the
people have settled the tariff question
several times already, and stand ready
again to settle it in the same old way.

1t is now claimed that the sefusal
of this government to cripple its own
industries to benefit a few sugar
planters of Cuba was q blessing in
disguise for the Oubans, and that re-
suits have shown that the Oubans
were themselves mistaken about be-
ing in such straits. Necessity is tine
mother of invention. and no sugar
estate Of any importance has been
compelled to stop because of the atti-
tude of this government. Instead,
conditions showed the Cubans that
they would have to get to work and
do things instead Of expecting some
one else TO do them, and necessity
compelled them to do the work. II
instilled into their minds the need Of
economy in the management of their
Plantations, thus lowering the cost Of
production, and has greatly benefited
them. We never know what we can
do until we de it.

the office was abolished it would be-
come an incumbrsnce on the city and

Gratis now in office are wondering what
to DO with it, Under the old charter
they had an opportunity to do away
with the office before an election was
held. There was every reason to be-
lieve that Paducah was going to be adj

known to the officials, as we'll as
