I’-PRICE'S Used in Millions of Homes— 40 Years the Standaro

&he Ilenwcrcri JT. BIJ' A RIT Rif, Proprietor. *- ■— — ■ — ■•.' FRIDAY. NOV. 6, 1891Reciprocity is simply two nations’ confession of judgment againt their respective prohibitive tariffs. Ex-Speaker Reed tells them in Washington that he had lots of fun in Massachusetts. It is scarcely necessary to say he didn’t monopolize the fun. His audiences had some, too. There was a time in this countn when colored people were held as slaves, but at this time there is no distinction in color, both the white and black are held by the combine monopolies and high protectionists. If Senator Quay is going into the libel suit business he will be obliged to take in all the Democratic newspapers in the country and half the Republican. Perhaps he has struck a regular bonanza — better than a pull on the state treasury. In his recent speech in Ohio S< retary of the Treasury Foster maci* the naked assertion that the foreign er pays all tariff taxes. Is tber another finance minister in tl world, the one m Borneo, or ii Siam, or in Terra del Fuego, or n Ujiji, who would have the effroi 4 ery to make such a statement. It was Robert Ingersoll who sa‘. (lauai ng the McKinley law) “mal it strong enough to shut out rl: foreign goods; we can make even thing we want ourselves in this blessed country.” What does Bcb .think now when he hears the boas’ that the --prohibitive” law has increased importation? He isn’t speechifying any more.. The interest that Pennsylvania manufacturers have been taking in labor, is shown by the lavish gener.osity they have displayed towards Ohio Republicans in aiding the McKinley campaign. The strange part of it all is that the leader of the kind contributors has, in the meantime, scaled down the wages of his employes sufficient to save to him fully the amount he has contributed to the high-tax cause. These are. recorded facts, and yet there are bund men who refuse to see. All the tin made in this country miMt compete with the foreign product under the old tariff so long as the enormous quantities rushed into the country ahead of the McKinley law shall hold out. If the industry booms according to Republican reports, what need of the added tax? And with tin ore free and the price of tin wares not advanced, (as Re ■ publican theorists tell us) how is the home interest subserved and out of whose pockets, and into whose, pockets goes the tax money? The friends of Fielden and Schwab, the Chicago anarchists, now in the penitentiray serving life sentence for their participating in the Hay Market massacre, are laboring with some hope of success to secure a release of these members. The points raised are that Fielden »was not present when sentence was pronounced and that the warden of the penitentiary has no commission for Schwab. There are thousands of fools wliq will encourage flttormeys for the red-hand d villians in their effort to open the prison doors to Fielden and Schwab. One of our exchanges makes a very decided hit when it refers to the tariff in the foilwing quaint way: A tariff on tin brings the price of tinware up. The tariff on ' sugar is taken off and sugar drops away down. What other proof do you want that a tariff is a tax? If a man 1 should stand before you and argue * that a tariff is not a tax, or that the ] . moon is made of green cheese, you 1 are at liberty to use your own judg- 1 ment about the correctness of his 1 logic. And yet it is just as logical 1 to reason that the moon was made ’ of green cheese and that it will be 1 full of skippers by and by, as it is H o argue that a tariff is not a tax. j 4

YOUNG MEN To THE FOEE. Senator Faulkner was one of the Democratic missionary party, ccm prisng Representative Byrum and others, who recently made a trip through the northwest. On his return to Washington he had something to say on the future of the Democratic party in that part of the country. He is not a man who allows his enthusiasm to run awaj with his judgment and his impres sions of the political situation art worthy of the most careful consid sideration. He says that one of tht most encouraging things for tht Democrocy in the west is that th young, active, go-ahead men, man} of whom have been raised as Ri publicans and whose families asso ciations have been with that party, are becoming Democrats on the tariff issue. Heretofore they have been too busy developing new regions and attending to their business enterprises to devote much time to politics. Now they are taking hold of politics and it is the principle of tariff reform that they belleye in and will work for. The VlcKinley law was construct against the interests of the gre northwest, and the active men, will little regard to what their forn e> political affiliations may have bet 1 want relief from the burdens in posed by the Republican tai if. policy. On the silver question tl t people of the west are divided in opinion, as they are in the east, but they all agree on the tariff questioi The Democrats all over the count!y ire of one mmd on this; thereto) < it is the national issue. The Dei> ocrats in that section, have not ha< good working organizations loi p enough to warrant us in expectn g that we can carry in 1892 a' those states which are naturally coming into the Democratic column We shall probably carry two of tit new states in 1892, and we wili gradually become the dominat party of the northwest. One disadvantage we labor under in that section is that the Republicans have most of their leading morning papers. That will be overcome in time, but in spite of it the tariff question is rapidly recruiting the Democratic party. Andew Carnegie told an English friend, Mr. John Morley, two very important items to be cabled over to America: he is “more than satisfied with the manner in which the McKinley law is helping his business;” and he would check the stream of immigration into America if he had his way. “Hands off immigration, I say,” was Mr- Carnegie’s exclamation. “We want them all.” It was well enough known that tbftse were Mr. Carnegie’s sentiments, but that he would express them so freely if he knew they were to be caught by the electric wire is hardly possible. Os course the man who has pocketed millions of dollars in alms from the people of the United States decreed him by the government JS satisfied with the McKinley law which gives him still more, and of course he want 4 cheap labor to flow unchecked into his tmmnt huts and mills and factories. And because Mr- Carnegie believes in these inequable# >nd injustices—these conditions which create an aristocracy and a peasantry, (which upon his own testimony he believes to be proper conditions in the human family); because this man glories in the McKinley bill is reason enough if there were no other why American citizens who earn nn honest living by the sweat of their bgow and who do not believe in the .un-American doctrine of prince and pauper ebopld vote against it. He U deaf and ts) his own well being if he do not so cast his vote. Our Republican friends asks the farmer to believe that a mortgage on his farm can be taken off. by pay. mg more for what he buys, than it! would cost under a tariff that would be sufficient to support the government only, or that by pacing to the manufacturer a certain per cent of what he produces, that it will be to his advantage to build up monopolies, that he may have the privilege of tvadin* with thatn I StsX awU aU» .’Jv h

A REPUBLICAN PEEDICA WENT Major McKinley is the putative father of the tariff law of 1890. Secictary Blaine is the parent of reciprocity clause which is attached to the tariff act. High tariff-and reciprocity are widely divergent. McKinley hates reeiproc;ty, while without the reciprocal clause Blaine says the law would be useless. Between the two—the law and reciprocity—a nice kettle of fish is being prepared for the alleged head of the Republican party, President Harrison. The Republicans have gotten over on Democratic ground long enough this summer to brag about free' sugar and other articles which are as free as Democrats would make almost everything if they had an opportunity to legislate for the country’s good. Having taken this stand the Republicans must continue to insist that sugar, coffee and tea mud lorever be free. Now comes the trouble. Blame’s reciprocity clause expressly makes it the duty of the Prsident “on and after the first day of January, 1892, and whenever the President shall be satisfied that the government of at y country producing and exportirg sugars, molasses, coffee, tea, bidet-, or any of such articles, imposes duties or other exactions upon the agricultural or other products of the United States,‘which in view of the free introduction of such articles into the United States he may deem to be reciprocipally unequal, he shall have the power, and it shall be his duty, to suspend by proclamation the free introduction of sugar,” etc., into the United States, md there shall beP imposed upon such articles as follows: Coffee, three cents a pound; tea ten cents a pound; sugar from one and three sights to two cents a pound; mo lasses four cents a gallon and hides one and one half cents a pound. Now, the year of our Eord 18(1 is almost passed and the reciprocity jlause of this wonderful law is e f ao binding force on Japan ai d Jhina which furnish our tea, noren i number of Spanish-American republics which annually supply tl e United States 24,000,000 pounds e t eugar, nor on countries which large ly supply hides. If those countries io not establish a reciprocal treat y by January 1, 1892, Presidhnt Harrison must lay an embargo on their teas and coffees and sugars and hides. If he does proclaim the tax, there will at once be a scarcity and up will go the price to American consumers. If a duty is placed upon hides New England manufacturers will object. If the price of tea advances there will be a merry war among the “protected” drinkers. If c jffee goes up and sugar goes up there will be another row. If Harrison dodges and does not proclaim the duty he will be guilty of plain violation of the law and will be liable to impeachment. Either horn of the dilemma will be troublesome, op either Harrison or McKinley will be roundly abused. Mr. Blaine will be on the outside to enjoy the fun and square the party to higjself for the big race next year. ’Tis a wont! erf ql monstrosity which McKinley’s name is attached and which he is trying to defend before the people of Ohio. Timothy has been public Jy horse-wfiipped in the gtrepts of Longford, and Timothy Healy has received what be richly deserved. It is bad enough to attack a living man with unfair weapons.

McJgINLOF PRICES. Articles in Common Use That Hen. , Advanced in Price. From The New York Times. At a public meeting m Lawreno Mass., last Wednesday evening Gox - enor Russell read a list setting forti the prices of 122 articles of commo) use in September, 1891, and ber 1890. All of these articles ar sold in dry goods stores, and th prices of them have been increase*> by the increase of duties in the M< Kinley act. The list had been “pn - pared with care by one of the largest houses in Boston.” The averag’ increase of price appears to be abov 20 per cent.
