able to eat a bushel of pota­

toes a day could make tin-plate from pig-tin. But we have some ble men in this country.

remarka-

I'sdek the reduced tariff duties ther is but one thing for the American manufacturer to do to meet foreign competition, and that is to reduce the price of labor. In a nutshell, the question of tariff is a question of wages.

Thk new taritl' law will demonstrate to the American people the fact that cheapness in a few things, necessarily accompanied by the inability to buy much of others, benefits no one. and is therefore a fraud on the wage-earner.

Thk retail price of granulated .sugar has advanced about 1 cents a pound within the past three months. Tin advantages that the sugar trust received under the Gorman bill which gave to it the first year S10.000.000. according to the statements of Chairman Wilson, are not satisfying to its capacious maw. The trust couldn't even wait until after the election before boginning to squeeze the people.

For instance suppose a laboring man is getting one dollar a day for his wages and paying 50 cents a bushel for his potatoes. Now suppose the price of potatoes falls to 25 cents isn't that equivalent to an increase of -."i cents on that man's wages'.'—AnjuxKcws.

It would seem to lie about that way if the man necessarily ate a bushel of potatoes each day: but it is probable that no one but the editor of the „1 rijus-Xcict, indulges in the wasteful habit of eating two and two-third gallons of potatoes at each meal during the entire year. Brother CoiTman is a mathematical genius beyond all question.

AVIIY NOT A HOl'XTY OV COltV WE 1.1. AS sl tiAUf Those who are continually asking this question do not comprehend the purpose of a bounty given by the government. It is not, and never was fo the purpose of legislating for a partic ular class, as some seem to think, but solely for the purpose of building up any industry on which it is given. to the sugar bounty, no "class" was sought upon which to confer favors, but the sugar bounty was given in order to stimulate the sugar beet industry in this country, which if devel uped,•would eventually cheapen sugar Any class from any State or political party is free to enter the business, and under these circumstances an effort on the part of the government to build up a great industry cannot honestly be called "class legislation." Hut after all, if the sugar bounty should result in putting the beet sugar industry on a footing with the industry in France and Germany and the yearly output for the world doubled, it makes but little difference whether it is called "class legislation" or not, if it lessens the price of sugar. But what good would a bounty on corn and wheat do •We raise more than we can use with out offering a bounty. The effect of bounty would be simply to glut tin market and of course the price would be very low. It would seem the better part of patriotism to establish factories in order to furnish a demand for our agricultural products, thus en hancing their price and lowering the price of large supplies of inanufae tured commodities.

THE TAHIL'K AT OK IS.17. Frank M. Heaton contributes to the Washington Po*. an article on the tar iff -act of 1857 which gives some fact not generally known, or at least over looked by many tariff writers. lie says:

From the time of the passage of this act until its repeal, President Ihiehan an frequently called the attention of Congress to the constantly decreasing revenues, and both the President and his Secretary of the Treasury (Cobb recommonded higher import duties for in case such duties were not im posed, bonds must be issued to meet the necessities of the government, The true cause of the depression of 1857 was the enactment of the free trade tariff of that year, but the l'resi dent and his Secretary ascribed the panic to the inflated currency, specula tion among the people, etc. At the same time, the administration urged upon Congress that the "incidental protective duties" be restored. Con press listened to the pleadings of th President, and finally passed the Mor rill tariff bill, which became a law by the signature of .lames Buchanan oil March 2, 1H01.

From this date the progress of th country in material development was unexampled. The civil war did not seem to hinder this progress, but th march of improvement was sure an steady under the revivifying influence of the Morrill protective tariff and its amendments. The property valuation of the country for over seventy years had amounted to SIC,000,000,000, at the date of the passage of the act referred to, but for the three following decades, while the protective duties were in force, or up to 18U2, the total wealth had increased more than fourfold, viz: 805,000,000.000.

WHITHER ARE TENDING?

Tin- Kxtntvmv of Kivo Institution* Depemle* I poii tin* Capability of lmilvidual Coinpott'iu-y.

Again, the laborer has lv relinquishing the use of those faculties so essential to his self preservation and individual manhood, placed himself, or rather these faculties, in a state of ennui that can have but one result— that of decay and weakness, thereby retrograding to a point that must inevitably result in abject serfdom. For by doing away with the necessity of the use of those faculties, so essential to independent manhood and self preservation. they necessarily fall into a state of decay. It would not be more fatal to the human family were they to. by some superhuman agency, do away with the necessity of muscular action. In a few short months man would by this muscular inaction, become wholly rid of muscular power. So with the individual laborer. When he surrenders up his individual right to contract, and fulfill that contract for labor, to a federal head he has sur rendered up all the individual manhood there is in him. and he begins at once to retrograde to a slave level, lie becomes as much a slave to his dictator as the alien of old whose "ear was bored through with un awl." that he might serve his master "forever."

Again, by this degeneracy of the individual force, we would, and will have a corresponding weakness of the collective force, the consequence being that we would have to go outside of this iabcr element to obtain an intelligent dictator, at least this would be the inevitable tendency, and no division of the social or business world is safe when its educational teudency is downward.

Then let me say in eouclus'ou to the aborer, maintain at all hazards, your individual rights. Surrender them by oath or obligation to no dictator, and further, do not take the fatal step to destroy your employer, by assuming the right to control both labor and apital. If you, by intimidation, detroy the incentive to accumulate and own capital, you destroy the only source from which you can draw subsistence. not only this, you blot out what desire there may be in your own manhood to own a competence, for you will remember that in thiseoun try a majority of stockholders in capital enterprises have been poor men— laborers with yourselves. This is a high privilege enjoyed in this country to a much higher degree, than in any other country in the world.

It may be that capital has. by unfair legi.lation_taken the advantage of labor in this country. We should remember. however, that it is not near so much the ease as it has ever been in the old world, and further, in this country we have universal suffrage. The,laboring classes are in the majority. That being true, if we do not meet capital iu the legislative councils it is our own fault.

The .spirit the poor should fear most in this country, is not the domineering spirit 'of capital. Capital, abstractly speaking, carries on all our great enterprises, makes it possible for labor to subsist, in fact, when properly adjusted it makes home food, and raiment attainable for the laboring man or woman, who has not the disposition or capacity to be come the custodian, or possessor of capital. 11 is that egotism, clothed in the livery of aristocracy, that he.should fear most, it has ruled the labor and socia1 world since the dawn of civilization. The mournful story of its lamentable career begins with the story of Cain and Abel. It has ever cursed all civilized society. Its chief demands are, that toil shall be considered menial, that the toiler shall be a serf, or slave—a "mud-sill." This spirit flourished under our eonstitu tion for seventy-five years, uud the form of African slavery African slavery is demised in th country, but not the spirit. These aristocratic leaders have assumed new manner of attack. Whilst they have relinquished the right to own the soul of the toiler, they yet. claim the right to the body. Whilst they have relinquished the right to the blood of the toiler, they yet claim the right to the sweat. Whilst before lsiir, they only claimed these rights over th negro, now they extend their moditiei claim, over both black and white.

These enemies of equal rights, resort to various plans for the accomplish ment of their purpose. Their most prominent one is to manipulate legislation. so as to hold American toil dow to the dependent standard of Kuropeau labor, which has ever been held dow to dependence bv the aristocracy of the old world. The chief method of the aristocratic leaders, on this side of the waters, for thus blighting the fu ture prospects of the laboring classes is. in the adoption of free trade. The teach the fallacy, that free trade would reduce the price of manufactured articles to the American consum er. thereby contradicting all past ex perience in this country. They teach that protection is unconstitutional and then by their representatives Congress, vote and euact odious protective measures. They teach that pro tection is designed only to protect capital, when they know that neitlie capital nor labor, especially labor, has never competed successfully with for eign manufactures only when pro tected. Even the threat of American free trade in 1S!U has brought calamity upon American industries unknow before in this country, the terribl disastrous effects being due to th unprecedented prosperity we were enjoying at tiie time the enemies of American industry went into power.

Another evidence of the insincerity or incompetency of this anti-American party now in power, is their opposition

to the grandest concept for the elevation of the human race--reciprocity—• that has been evolved from any human brain the last century. Now the man is stupid 1'eyolid my conception who would believe or pretend to believe that, to remove protection from American industry would not reduce American labor, to the :e:"f schedule of the old world. The above proposition being unmistakably true, if we would sustain or degrade the respectability of American labor, one of two things must be done. We must elevate Kuropeau labor to the American standard and hold up American labor by a decided protective system until this human work is consummated: or we must remove protection and permit

American labor to retrograde to the Kuropeau standard, which would set the cause of labor back at least a century.

Now a Nation is an artificial individuality, purely the creation of law, and a commercial brotherhood, between the enlightened nations of the earth,is certainly the desirable goal to which we arc tending. Before this natioual brotherhood can be realized, howeverwe must have brotherhood existing between the integers, out of which the nations are formed, or in other words iiman brotherhood.

Now there is no question but what the two leading political parties in this ountry—the Republican and Democratic parties, are bending their efforts to the consummation of the same end. universal brotherhood, which means lree trade, but they differ in their methods, and also iu the results, or at least the labor status of this linal result. The Republican party deires to establish this brootherhood upon a plane founded upon the espeetability of labor. Whilst the Democratic party desires to establish this brotherhood upon a plane founded upon the meniality «f labor.

Now a purely protective tariff oft times bears heavily, and some times unjustly upon some especial industries of this country, hence the necessity of reciprocity it is designed to be the governor, the regulator of a protective tariff, by which all its unequal beartigs can be regulated. I5v the aid of this principle, we can increase the facilities for disposing of our products. By it we can relieve any scarcity in this country of any foreign product. With this regulator we can approach from year to year a brotherhood, or free trade .standard without lowering the labor schedule-eitherJii this country or in the old.

Now in conclusion allow me to repeat the interogative. at the head of this article Whither are we lending'.-1 1 hold that in the honest effort of labor.: in this Country to better their condition, the tendency is. to weaken individual capacity, by merging individual rights into collective dictation. Another evidence of decline is in the anxiety of those in authority to subject the Federal ballot box to the dander of corruption, by the removal of Federal supervison. And yet another evidence of decline is the violent opposition to American protection when ven the school boy must know that under no other system has hihur or i/titnl in this country prospered.

But the most striking evidence of all the ease with which the voting classes were in lS'.r.' hoodwinked into voting, not only against their own interests, but the interests of humanity: by sending to Congress the most stupendous fraud in the way of political demagogues. Certainly such a legislative farce, as has been going on in Congress, for the last hrclrc months, has never been known before in the history of civilization.

But notwithstanding-all this, it is to be hoped that we will not be soon again subjected to the disgrace and contradiction of the proposition, that man is icapable of self government. We for two years have been subjected to a severe schooling. Next November we will be blessed with the opportunity of correcting the mistakes of sending to Congress representatives pledged to work, and vote, against American honor, American interests and American labor.
