FRIDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1894.

THE Republican party never pledge it did not carry out.

SINCK the result in Georgia, Democrats are not sure of anything except defeat.

THE proposition of Theodore Justice to Senator Voorliees will be open to Dan Stover. As Dan is somewhat of a speculator here is an opportunity to make 5100,000.

SENATOR GORMAN is not making any speeches in this campaign. The last one he made he exposed the secrets of his party which showed up Cleveland in no enviable light.

SorTHEKN Ohio sheep raisers are having a taste of Democratic free trade. At a public sale in Carroll county, sheep sold from 17 to 48 cents each. Look out for a heavy increase in the Republican vote in that section.

THE American Debenture Company, of Chicago, an adjunct of the Coffin & Stanton lirm, has also passed into the hands of a receiver. Among the assets are the Crawfordsville Light and "Water plant. When the plant is sold at receiver's sale, as it probably will ie, the city should be prepared to buy it.

THE Boston Herald, a supporter of Cleveland, says the American wool market is waiting for the establishment of values in the London sales. The spectacle of 70,000,000 people waiting for English quotations before they can trade with each other for their own products may be a grand theatrical triumph in political economy, but it doesn't look like business.

FRANCIS JOHNSON, a prominent Democrat of Lafayette, the publisher of a German paper and a man who has been honored by his party, has renounced free trade Democracy and declared his conversion to Republicanism. Mr. Johnson is a man of wide influence, ©specially among the Germans and his change in politics has created a consternation in the Democratic ranks.

AT last the potato connundrum has penetrated the cranium of the AryusNews. It now sees it as THE JOURNAL corrected it two weeks ago. A fall of SO cents in the price of a bushel of potatoes is not equivalent to a raise of 50 cents per day in a man's wages unless he bought a bushel of potatoes each day. It is equivalent to a raise of 50 cents in his wages only at each purchase of potatoes. The Argus-News deserves credit for seeing this point in the &hort period of two weeks.

GERMANY proposes to retaliate against the United States because of the special discriminating duty imposed on sugar from export bounty paying countries by discriminating against our meat and breadstufis. The treasury statistics of our trade with Germany, which would be affected against American meat and bread stuffs, show that our sales to that country last year amounted to §20,000,000. This is opening up the markets of the world with a vengance.

THE average rate of duty has varied considerably ever since the first tariff was laid on imported goods. In 1789 the average was rather more than 5 per cent—that was the basic import duty —through various articles of luxury were taxed as high as 15 per cent. In 1810 the average rate was higher though the highest rate was 20 per cent. The act of 1824 levied duties of XiXi per. cent on cotton and woolen goods, thus raising the average considerably. The average rate was increased by the act of 1828, under which some articles were taxed 50 per cent. The average under the act of 1832 was :i.i per cent. The act of lS3:i provided for a gradual reduction in the duty on all articles liable underotlie act of 1832 to a duty of more than 20 per cent, until they should be liable to more than 20 per cent. The act of 1842 raised duties, and the act of 1840 lowered them, though it was not a free-trade measure. The act provided for various schedules. Schedule A carried a duty of 100 per cent: B, one of 40 per cent:

C, one of 30 percent: and so on. In 1*57 duties were lowered again, the highest duty being 24 percent in 1805, with the "war tariff" in full force, it was 47.50 per cent. In 1883, by the tariff of that year, it was 40 per cent: and under the McKinley act it is 45 per cent. Two tariffs have imposed a higher average rate'than the McKinley bill.

ON? MAKKETS GOING.

Minister Arriaga. of Guatemala, has been officially advised by the State Department that the new tariff law terminates the reciprocity treaty between the United States and Guatemala and lias transmitted the notification to his government. He said:

It is my personal opinion that the reciprocity treaty was very beneficial to both countries. Guatamala used immense quantities of barbed wire made here. It is chiefly an agricultural country, and the American barbed wire has come to be the only material used in fencing off the farms. It was admitted to Guatemala free of duty under the reciprocity treaty, which greatly stimulated its use. Almost all the agricultural implements used in Guatemala were all brought from the United States, as they were made free of duty by the reciprocity treaty. Other classes of manufactured iron goods, such as railroad supplies, machinery, etc., were also bought in large quantities by Guatemala under the reciprocity arrangement.

On the other hand, our country has been able to ship sugar in large quanties to the United States, as that article was admitted free of duty. Now, however, the new sugar duty of 40 per cent ad valorem amounts to an absolute prohibition against all shipments of sugar from Guatemala to the I nited States. This is the more marked from the fact that the United States treaty with Hawaii admits sucar free of duty, so that while Guatemala is on the same footing as Brazil, Cuba, and other sugar countries in having an American duty of 40 per cent against them, yet it and all the other southern countries are at the disadvantage of having a sugar-producing competitor. Hawaii, which has free access to this country. It should be borne in mind that it was the United States that inaugurated the reciprocity policy. It took the first steps and invited the Southern and Central American republics to enter into closer commercial arrangements. These countries reciprocated the kindly feelings, and many of them entered into the arrangements which the United States proposed. The United States was therefore the moving power and if it now sees fit to terminate that policy it is not for the southern countries to urge its continuance.

And thus our markets are slipping away from us. The Democratic policy instead of opening the markets of the world is closing them.
