The laborers have to furnish, as usual, the money this year to run the pro- . tection campaign. A British steamer is loading at Swansea with 6,000 tons of tin plate plate for America. The output of our tin mines does not appear to be as tremendous as it was during the Ohio campaign. Gov. Flower advised the legislature in a special message that valuable franchise “should not be grant ed to corporations without adequate compensation.” If all reports are true, that's what the legislature thinks. Secretary Foster hasn’t helped his case by asserting that be referred to a certain class of emigrants as “flannel mouthed” instead of “Clam mouthed.” His little remark to the English reporter will not soon be forgotten on this side of the Atlantic. ‘ It’s coming.

See how the thing works? The primary election is near at hand, and some instructions as to the manner of voting may be of some importance to some cf the voters. As the committee decided to bold the election under the Australian system. The committeemen of each township will see that the booths are at the place in time, and that all arrangements for the election are properly carried out, that the judge and clerk are shut off from the voters by a rope or some arrangement by which they will be compelled to stay back. The tickets will be in the hands of the election board, and no one else will be allowed to have or handle the tickets. The voter will proceed to the clerk, announce his name, when the clerk will furnish him with a ticket and stamp when he will go into one .of the booths that is unoccupied, and there make out his ticket, if he should spoil the ticket in any way he can return the same to the clerk and get another ticket and return to thejjooth and make out his ticket, fold it up properly before leaving the booth, then hand the ticket to the judge and tile stamp to the clerk, will pass out so as to give the next voter a chance. Should any .one be unable to make out their ticket, they will call upon the clerk who will assist them, but in no case advise them who to vote for. The following will be the form of the ticket: Democratic Primary Etection, April 2, 1892. FOR TREASURER. ; Dem. Henry VAglewede. : Dem. 1 Henry Blakey. :Dem. : E. Lewis Fruchte. ; Dem. : John F.

FREE TRADE ON THE FARM Mr. Dingley is shocked because the wool bill proposes free trade in “the most universal product of the farm.” There is tree trade in cotton, of which we produce three or four times as much in value as we do of wool, but Mr. Dingley sees nothing distressing in that. The corn and wheat product combined is worth eight or ten times as much as the wool product, and the producers ot com and wheat are in reality no more protected than the cotton grower is. Mr. Dingley is not worried about that. The egg product comes much nearer to being universal than the wbol product does, and its annual value is about as great. It was wholly unprotected for many years before McKinley came to its rescue, and yet it did not fail. The egg industry did not lanquish and die for lack of government coddling. The proud American hen pursued her vocation as assiduously and crackled as viciferously before McKinley protected her nest with a tax of 5 cents a dozen on the output of foreign pauper hens as she has done since. The American sheep, too, multiplied more before the protectionists took charge of it than it has done since, and, unless statistics are devoid of meaning, it would be no less prosperous and prolific if the protectionist would leave it to its own devices and the care of the independent shepherd. MR. McMILLIN'SSPEECH. In opening the tariff depate Mr. McMillin did not confine his remarks strictly to the pending bill affecting the wool schedule. He traced briefly the history of tariff legislation since the Republican party came into power, showingjthe tendency towards higher rates under the protection policy, culminating in the highest average of all on dutiable goods—nearly 60 percent — under the McKinley act. He showed that the relief to the people under that act" of about $60,000,000, resulting mainly from the transfer of raw sugar to the free list, was offset by the bounty to sugargrowers and by higher rates on other articles, so that the net benefit to the people was hardly $10,000,000. He showed that when rates were increased during the civil war Mr. Morrill and others who advo cated the increase expressly declared it to be a war measure, and promised a return to lower duties after the emergency should pass away. And again rates were increased to compensate the manufacturers for internal taxes on their products. But the emergency passed away and no reduction was made. The taxes on domestic manufactures were abolished, and still there was no reduction of the war rates, but, on the contrary, the revisions were always upward and in the interest of the protected classes, while consumers were more and more oppressed. But Mr. McMillin did not neglect the wool schedule. He referred to the notorious bargain between the wool growers and the manufacturers in 1867, resulting in a large increase in the rates on wool, and the imposition of compensating rates on woolen goods. The woolgrowers expected great things from this arrangement, they were going to grow all the wool consumed in the country. But in twenty-four years after that arrangement had been made the number of sheep east of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers had fallen off more'than onehalf, and the price of wool had fallen largely. The fact shows that protection had not protected the woolgrowers, whatever it might have clone for the manufacturers. While protection had not protected the wool growers it had injured comsumers in two ways. First, by compelling them to pay exorbitant prices for pure woolen goods, and, second, by giving them inferior goods. Statistics shows, as Mr. McMillin stated, shoddy, mungo

r and other adulterants “have taken r the place of the fleeces of 20,000,i 000 sheep, or about two-thirds as many as there are in the whole j United States.” It is by the use of t these adulterants that the price of . goods which are sold as woolens are i kept low in spite ot the enormous 1 taxes on l imports. Those who buy i pure woolen goods must pay high j tariff prices. But the consumption i ot adulterants show how greatly the i consumption of pure goods is re- , strioted by the tariff, and in about t the same proportion the consumpi tion of domestic woolen is restricted. » Shoddy and mungo and cotton drive the wool growers out of the market. Thus the tariff positively injures him as it does the consumer of wool1 en goods. 1 Mr. McMillen stated one fact the ! full force and significance of which ’ he failed to bring out. The official r statement of imports and duties for ' the fiscal year 1891 shows that on ! woolen goods valued at $21,569,886 imported during the year duties to 1 the amount of $23,595,005 were ’ paid. The whole, amount that the foreign sellers received for these ’ goods was that first stated, in round 1 figures $21,570,000. Now, if the ’ foreigners paid the duties, as the • McKinley economists claim, they paid in round figures $23,000,- ' 000 taxes, for which they received only all told, and they must have given us the 1 goods outright and paid us $2,000,000 cash in duties besides as an inducement to us to take the goods. The absurdity of the claim that the foreigner pays the tax could hardly b$ made to appear more distinctly. The foreigner may be very obliging, ■ but be is not so generous and selfsacrificing as to givens his products outright and pay us a bonus besides 1 for carrying it away.— Chicago Herald. . THE TARIFF AND COIN > AGE. The Free-Coinage bill as it has 1 come up in the House is not a party question. Both parties are divided on it, a majority of Democrats and a minority ot Republicans favoring free coinage of "both gold and silver, while a Democratic majority favor free coinage of gold only. It has been reasonably certain from the first that a Free-Coinage bill would pass the House, and the proceeding last week leave no doubt of it The Republic feels under obligations, therefore, to warn Democrats who wish to see the gold premium forced down that “coin notes” are a most deceitful and unreliable device, the operation of which is calculated to Cleave silver just what it is now—a r commodity measured by gold. No note should be issued on bullion. Coinage should be obligatory in all cases where a note or certificate is issued, and the note issued on silver coin should be redeemable in the exact amount of silver coin on which it is issued. Whether the note is issued on gold or silver, it should stand for the coin of that metal on which it is based and for that only. If this plain principle of bi-met-alism is departed from, the result is monometalism — the measurement of one metal as a commodity in terms of the others. And in this country any monometalism will sooner or later work itself into gold monometalism. There should be blunders and no oversights on this all-important point. The House having determined to go on record, it is part of commonsense to make the record as soon as possible and get the real issues ot the campaign to the front. The country is impatient for action against the McKinley bill, and the House has already wasted a great deal of time. Nothing is to be gained by consuming time on any minor question. All such questions should be speedily disposed of that the real work of the session may begin. Party lines are not drawn on the coinage question, but they are drawn hard for and against the prohibitive tariff, on that issue the result of the Presidential election will be determined. » 1 Tns new tax law is a Democratic measure and the party will assume i all the responsibility for the errors that may be in it and with the meeting of the next legislature of the 1 state correct the defective parts, so that it will be the best tax law ot any state in the union; one that will be the nearest'right m the compelling of the monied corporations to bear a fair share ot the burden of taxation, a thing they have heretofore escaped, and a few of them may have this time by some subter- . fuge, that the of the law failed to see, but that they have had time to fully understand by this ; 1 tithe.
