Hioh and Low Tariff.

The period of the most rapid devel-
opment which this country has ever
experienced was between 1850 and
1860, under the Walker tariff law.
| That was a low tariff period; but
within that decade the wealth of the
| country increased from $7,135,7 $780, 28
in 1850 to $16,1 59, 7S0,068 in 1860. Not
a single trust or monopoly was form
ed during that period. Not a single
millionaire or pauper was created by
| law. Those who had got rich under
| previous tariffs accelerated" the alb
olitionist movement, however, and
the country went to pieces for a time,
as the result of the "acceleration' of
the abolitionist movement by the in
dustrial corporations, which with
the war, found their opportunity of
increasing the governments ~expendlt-
ures, and thereby necessitating a re-
turn to excessive taxation Of the con
sumers. If the southern states had not
opposed a protective, or m%ouopolistic
policy of taxation, there would have
been no "acceleration" of the aboli-
ZIONIST party by the fairfield aristoc-
raCy, which has for many years past
endeavored to enslave the working
men of the white race, as well as the
black, by it's advocacy Of government
by injunction administered by feder-
al judges. A protective, or monopohs-
tic, tariff means hostility by manu-
facturers to agricultural labor. That's
all there is in it. Farm labor in this
country cannot be protected by any
sort of tariff, because farm products,
created by such labor, are more abun-
dant, and therefore cheaper here than
abroad.
1t is estimated that laborers IN this
country create each year, on an aver
age, values exceeding $4,000 apiece.
How much of this does the lahore:
himself receive? We are told by the
statisticians that on the average he
gets less than $500. The trusts, there
fore, get the rest, amounting to $1,40O
on the work of each laborer. One
trust magnate, John D. Rockefeller,
gets $21.50 every minute; $500
every hour; $30.960 every day. Who
earns it? There are many others in
the same class. We are told that there
are in this country more than $4,000
women, who spend annually more
than $35, 900 apiece on dress alone;
and that. for the accommodation of
this class Of women hotels are being
built in New York whose charges will
range from $500 to $1,000 a day for
one person. No such things happened
under the Walker tariff. No such
things would be possible under q
democratic system Of government.

SALARIES, Prices AND GOLD.
Some Few Facts as to Country's A.
legged Prosperity.

The Washington Post claims that
the men and women of this country
who work for salaries" as distin-
guished from the laborers who work
for wages" support one-third of the
entire population of the country, and
reach the number Of 10000, 900. 1t
says there has been no increase in
salaries since 1880. while the purchas-
ing power of the dollar has, owing to
the food of gold, decreased 80 per
cent. or more; so that this large sal
aried class of 10, 600, 900 is really get
ting less for Its services by 80 per
cent. or more, than 1t received In 1880.
Such prosperity as the country enjoys
Is due largely to the increased supply
Of gold-perhaps solely to that cause.
Yet the very cause of this prosperity
brings poverty and want to the sal
aried class-the great middle class of
the American people. The bricklayer
gets six dollars a day, because his
class has organized; so with other me-
chanics. The capitalist makes from
ten to n hundred per cent. on his
investments, because his class has
organized. Most of the school teach
ers, the clerks, the statesmen, etc, get
from $40 to $50 a month, because they
think themselves too respectable to
organize their class into labor unions
On the one hand, or predatory trusts
IN the other. They are, therefore,
helpless. They can grumble, but. no
one in power cares for such helpless
