“our friend" to only a back number. The method to hardly fair argument of an

abstract question. The correspondent was not “terrorgkricken" nor even ‘‘alarmed,” about the predicted advanceof China’s industries. He only used the conditions ot China, and predictions eonoeramg her now current among thinking men, as an Illustration of th« protective tariff principle. He will not deny that it would be impperiMe fo?, us to buy China’s cheap goods, unless w* have something with which to rmy them. Bat it seems to him, constructed as he is, in a ‘loose and craxy** fashion, that if we should continue to turn out our present enormous manufactured product, in addition to the fruits of toe toil, ws should probably have more with which to buy than we should have in the event the “pauper labor” of China, competing with our better paid labor, had dosed our factories, turned loose their workmen.

He thinks that our factories would aot stand such losing business; our workmen wonid go pat looking lor another job, and he really -is alarmed” lest they should not be able to get another unless they should work tor Chinese wages. ^ Leaving now all direct allusion to the ediior’s reply, let us also leave vast countries ind distant peoples, as such, out of the queswon, and take, tor the present, a homely instance illustrating the principle of the proiective tariff. ... A iarmer in thie vicinity employe six American laborere at $in per month, furnishing hoard, lodging and washing. Suppose a gang of Chinese form laborers, as competent as native larm help, comes wanting work. They tre willing to work lof Chinese wages, which is rice to eat, or it* equivalent, and a bunk to steep in. They want no money. They ask only to live—no matter how. The farmer, if a tree trader, has “got the idea fixed in his head that to buy things cheap is not the road to poverty.” Here is a chance to buy labor shean. It Is bought. He sets off a corner, 4 bye feet, in bis barn, puts up a partition, nails six shelves on th* wall, and puts six Chinamen to bed on the shelves. Six cheap Chinamen run six sturdy American* out of a

job* ^

It it not» probable occurrence, but is ft oossi«l# one. It serves as an object lesson.. In a single instance the benefit is w.th the proprietary farmer. The injury to others is not palpable, lor the six displaced laborers may find similar work elsewhere. The pretence of six Chinamen ia not "alarming” snongh to create a panic in the labor mar set. But 400.000 Chines# In ibis State, on the free trade principal of buying things cheap, mirbt drive 400,*00 citizens from their comfortable living*. On the free trade principle, if the citizen should not like it, he must do as th* Chinaman aoea- work cheaply. That way, he can live. Otherwise, he may etarve. Rather than starve, he too will work ior a bare subsistence. He will live on corn bread, wear thin clothing, and sleep i® » hot. He can not send his children to school. They must help, as young as possible, to dig out a

Why?

upposed against almost univerWhy not right in

tuai application to Enrope? England fa ior free trade. Why? Because as yet China is not her competitor. Because her condition assures her that she has facilities for manufacturing which defy competition. If China becomes, like England, a great manufocturing country, then, indeed, will the tables be turned. China can manufacture cheaper than England. China will call out tor free trade. England will wall up her easterns duties against China. The tariff question is one of national policy—each nation for itself. In this sens* it is what it was pronounced to be by a great military rfbnlus: “A focal question.” Austin F. Dbnny. Indianapolis, November 29. (It seems necessary to say that there was no irony in calling the writer (o£ this and) th* former communications the “esteemed gentleman;” it was a form of courtesy meant n good faith; nor was there any sneer in the urgency to read a certain list of books on the topic, it also was simply stated and in good faith; nor was there anything to his prejudice intended in such terpis as “terrorstricken.” Usually it is understood that in argument forcible or picturesque terms are employed for the argument’s sake and for point, and not for personality. It was all so

here.

To tbe matter in hand, instead of supposing 480,000 Chinese in Indiana working for rice and hunk, displacing that many American laborers. 8uppose4,000,000 in tbe country displacing that many Americans. We had 4,000,000 slaves once working for lees than the Chinese standard. But slave labor was dear labor, not cheap. Anything that degrades the laborer degrades society. The instinct of life in our society felt this with slavery, and finally abolished it at the price of a million of lives and monumental amounts of its treasure paid ont of Its earnings and still drawing from those earnings. The same instinct of life would prevent the degradation of the laborer on the Chinese supposition. This sort of speculation is a question of evolution,not economics, and there ia no snd to it. Suppose Chinese enough wero to come here to do all tbe work of tbe country. A sober answer and a real one would be that then the rest of us wonid not need to work at all; w* could “fleet the time carelessly, as they do in the golden world,” or in the Forest of Arden. Snpposs a return to the Edenio state in which not even th* Chinese would have to work. Suppose England should take a notion to conquer this country. Bhe could land five soldiers to our one, recruited from the teeming millions of India. Why dock she not doit? Tber* is a survival of fitneis throughout all creation. The lower forms of life are in everything Incomparably th* more numerous, but they do not dominate the higher. There is no serious categorical answer to suppositions like these. The heavens are not a canvas broad enough to paint them. Suppose the sun to cease shining, and leave tbe world finally to the “last man,” a* in Byron’s poem. Life to too short for nonsense of this sort. Briefly, attention may here be called to the fact that one element of the esteemed gentleman’s Chinese supposition exists. Half a million people a year oome her* from lower-wage countries than this. The protected manufacturer has free trade in labor; only his products are protected.. Hs buys his labor untrammeled, but he sells his product at a price enhanced by tbe Government, and as the gentleman well asks, “where have gone our men of moderate meana?i’ Tbe tariff is already doing its perfect work. It is grinding out tbe men of moderate means, grinding out the former, pouring the wealth into the pockets of a class who have their products raised in price above the natural one. This ia one great reason why larm lands in tbe manufacturing center of New England are decreasing in value. The inclination of the rich and th* necessities of the noor draw them into factories. Tbe Iarmer baa to pay an increased price ior their products, but he gets only a natural price for his own; and the coet oi his product on stony New England ground to greater than the -cost on the fertile, fields of the West, and so he is ground out and tbe Western farmer to ground down by th* same process, having to give more of bis wheat and corn in exchange for manufactured products, because these are enhanced by a tariff and his products are not. Tbus a tariff to manufacturing two classes, the few absorbing the bulk of the wealth, the mass living on their earnings. The tariff further impel; a waste of labor in inducing naturally unprofitable labor. For example: We have tin. But in our preeent conditions we can make more profit by raising wheat, say, and exchanging it for manufactured tin. When th* time comes that we can naturally find profit in developing onr tin mines they would be developed just ae surely aa a gold min* to developed. But tariff de* clfires that we shall pay about $16,000,000 worth more of wheat, say, for tbe tin we now buy. Wbyf So as to give that $15,000,000 .to capitalists wherewith they will import some Welshmen to make the tin here that is now naturally made in Wales. We are to pay for the tin and pay $16,000,000# year more for profits to induce capital to engage ip an industry her* that at this time and in our aurroundings and conditions it would not engage ia* . • This leads to a notice of the gentleman's statement: “It makes little difference whether the Chinaman competing with the citizen be in Indiana or China." Let ns i see: The Welsh, in their conditions and surroundings, can make a* given amount ul tin that we can buy with a bushel of wheat. That ia, our farmer’s wheat is cheaper to them than the English farmer’s; or, to put It in another shane, ft pays them better to devote their tint* to tin making wherewith to buy some American wheat than it does to devote time enough to forming to raise all their own wheat. So onr former to exchanging his wheat for their mill products. His oompotitor is th* English farmer. Now comes th* tariff and refuses to allow our former to exchange wheat for foreign mill products to th* exteot of Welsh tinware, but compels him to exchange his wheat for th* home mill product of tin ware,at an increased cost of, say, $15,000,000 a year. In other words, where without a tariff, or under a low tariff, th* home mill product would be competing against th* foreign mill product for the former’s wh*at, now (the former must still sell his wheat for the same price (th* price made by the price of the surplus ia the foreign ruffrket) and hence expend that much more ot it for home made tin. Yet Welchmen, the same Welshmen, perhaps, are making the tin for him, having com* to thia country to work tin laotories. JpBnt the former gets to Deed that many more people, it to said, the great protection argument being that th* bounty of a tariff, caus:lories to spring up, makes a new populor tbe former’s market and increases and his product. 1$ does

first to expend the cost of tbe engines. If we had nothing they wanted in exchange we coaid not take the engine*. The loss of a glutted market would - be theirs, not ours. Bo under natural laws, exchange regulates itself. Brazil raises coffee because she can afford to. We raise wheat or make mowing machines tor tbe same reason; that is ws can find a market for our wheat and mowing machines, and by the unhampered operations of these tentative quests of supply and demand a people is guided in the way toward its greatest prosperity. But an arbitary tariff comes in, and by offering a prize tempts the earnings Of the country into investments that they naturally would not make. These artificial conditions needing constantly artificial support, we have tbe whole etory of the progress of a tariff from 8 per cent, to nearly 60, per cent.; enterprise subject to waste and to the violent fluctuations of an unnatnral and stimulated prosperity and a corresponding depression with glutted markets—labor expended for things for which the natural demand has not kept pace, and the laborers turned adrift to starve until demafld

overtakes supply.

As to tbe statemeot that “it can not be denied that in Europe the standard of wages ia lower and the style of living lower than in the United States,” no one denies it; but protectionists, last of all, should cite it. China, the most perfect protection country, presents these conditions most abjectly. All through Europe you find the two things going hand in baud. Coming to England you find wages the highest in Europe and risen more than SO per cent, under free trade, and by our own official figures th* difference in yearly surplus of a family of artisans in England and in Massachusetts to b*scant$40; a family of five workers—so far have we nullified the great natural differences of a young sparsely settled country from an old thickly settled one, bv a tariff substracting at every turn a quantum of th* wage-worker’s earnings to pay the protected capitalists’ enhanced prices, and to cover the expense of wasteful enterprises induced by the golden

bounty.

As to the assertion that “If the United States should compete freely with Europe, Europe would beat her,” the figures don't bear It out. Our increased Industry of production more than equals the difference in wages, and like every country w# have onr "natural products,” in which we clearly excel. We could more than hold our own in the home market with the odds of oc can freight in our fovor, and could compete in many things abroad. If th* idea be digested that without a tariff, tempting people to engage in unprofitable enterprises, and compelling them to pay artificially high prices tor things, they would be left to exchange what they can produce best for the things that others can produce beat, and that no matter how cheap those things may be we must still produce something at a profit (else we would not produce it at all) which tbe foreigners will take in exchange, the fact will be easily com prehended that to buy things cheap is not the road to ruin, and to boy them dear is not the road to wealth; that, for illustration, If the American farmer oan buy $2 worth ot tin from a Welshman for a bushel of wheat he will be twice better off than being forced by a tariff to buy only one dollar’s worth for a bushel from an American tin maker. For in the one case American labor is expended for the things that it can naturally best do; that Is, pays it best, yields it the most return; while in the other it is artificially stimulated to expend itself for things that do not pay best and so calls for the labor that does pay to make up the waste, to-wit: a bushel of wheat for one dollar’s Worth of tin, instead of two dollars’ worth that otherwise it would buy.—Eo.

Catarrh to Consumption. Catarrh in its destructive force stands next to, and undoubtedly leads on to consumption. It is therefore singular that those afflicted with this fearful disease should not moke it the object of their lives to rid themselves of it. Deceptive remedies concocted by ignorant pretenders to medical knowledge have weakened the confidence of the great majority of sufferers in all advertised remedies. They become resigned to a life of misery rather than torture themselves with doubtful palliatives. But this will never do. Catarrh must be met at every stage and combated with all our might. In many cases the disease has assumed dangerous symptoms. The bones and cartillage of the nose, the organs of hearing, of seeing and of tasting so affected as to be useless, the uvula so elongated, the throat so inflamed and irritated as to produce a constant and

distressing cough.

Banford’s Radical Cure meets every phase of Catarrh, from a rimple head cold to the most loathsome and destructive stages. It is local and constitutional. ‘ Instant in relieving, permanent in curing, safe, economical and
