The Democracy of Indiana has the beet qualified statesmen for the Presidential nomination of any of the western states, not only ExGovernor Gray but Senator Turpie, who is among the first statesmen of this country. •- _ - Jay Gould’s 110,000 contribution was about one-five thousandth part of his income. If a man with an income of 12,000 a year should make a contribution of 40 cents to the church he would be making an equal sacrifice, but would not get any glory. Vbrily Mr. Wanamaker is making a great reputation for himself, but his disposition to get out all the work he possibly can from a postmaster is only in keeping with what he has done for years in his great bargain store with the em ployes of that establishment In spite of all that the Repub licans have attempted to do for the woolen industry the wool sorters in the Arlington Mills, at Lawrence, Mass., had their wages cut March 1. No reduction was made in the sorting of wool of which very little is used, but cuts averaging about 20 per cent were made in the sorting of the grades largely consumed. The Boston Herald, liberal puritan, if such a thing can.be, has been a firm supporter of Mr. Cleveland. It thinks no less of him to-day than four years ago, but fears the Hill faction in New York will oppose his election now more vigorously than in 1888. Desiring the nomination of Cleveland, yet fearing the result of the situation as the Herald sees it This feeling is shared by many localities. There is no doubt as to the popularity of Grover Cleveland. As no other man ot present politics did he make the Democratic principle of low tariff the issue that carried with it conviction and success. Os all men he is the man to honor, yet the fear ot the factional fight in New York makes many friends of Mr. Cleveland hesitate. They want a winner this year. They hope Cleveland will be the winner. The situation is likely to be much more clear before June. The Lord is with Democracy and will provide. THE RIGHT CANDIDATE. In his letter to Hon. Edward S. Bragg, of Wisconsin, Mr. Cleveland defines himself very plainly and with great good sense.* In response to Mr. Bragg’s call on him to announce himself a candidate, he denies that it is his duty or privilege to do so. In his view, and it is the correct view, the announcment of candidacy in the Democratic party, where the question is of the presidency, should be made by the Democratic National Convention, after full and free deliberation, uncoerced by the insistence and unharassed by the importunity of any one. • The effect of the letter in its connection is to refer the question of Mr. Cleveland’s .‘candidacy to the Democratic Convention at Chicago with full power to act. Mr. Cleveland has said to those’ who believe the welfare of the party and the country can be best promoted by his nomination, that it they want him for a candidate, they can get him, if it is shown in the only way it can be shown—by action in convention—that their wishes are the wishes of the Democratic party. This is the answer that should have been made to the people who have been calling on him to say that be will not be a candidate. He has not been silly enough to refuse a nomination that has not been offered him, He has referred the question of whether or not he is to be a candidate to the Democratic party. The party certainly is not disposed to go to New York for any. one else as a candidate. Mr. Cleveland is far stronger in New York than any .other New York Democrat. If he cannot carry that state for the Democratic partylit cannot be done with any other New Yorker. The liepublie beliews that if the party see- fit to nomilate Mr. Cleveland it can easily e 4ct him

against Mr. Harrison. He is and he deserves to be the most popular Democrat in the country. And over and across party lines, be is more popular than any other man in any party. Personally he is much stronger than Blaine ever was, even at his strongest, for Mr. Cleveland has not only a party as large and as enthusiastic following among independent voters. If he is nominated he will be elected, and there is no longer any question of his willingness to be a candidate if the party nominates him as its candidate at Chicago. With the right candidate and the right platform the Democratic party cannot be defeated this year.— iSf. Louis Republic. AMERICAN ~ TIR PLATE SCARE. The Tin Plate Consumers’ Association a short time ago issued its “Circular No. 3,” which it mailed to consumers of tin plate all over the country. The circular was as follows: “In furtherence of the object of the Tin Plate Consumers’ Association, the directors respectfully request the members of the association to furnish monthly return of all the American made tin plates purchased by them, beginning with the month of January, 1891; also stating whether any American tin plates have been bought by them previous to the first of same month, and, if so,- what quantity, sizes and kind. The names of those forward* ing the information will be regarded as confidential by the directors and will not be published.” One hundred and fifteen replies to this circular have already been received by Mr. Robert Ganz, secretary of the association, and the Provisioner, published a statement, prepared by Mr. Ganz, showing what these replies contained. From this statement it appears that of the 115 heard from, exactly 100 announce in various ways that they have not bought any American made tin plate. Samples of the replies are as follows: San Francisco— have not been able to obtain any American made tin or terne plates so far.” New Haven—“We use only highest grade tin plates, and we have not heard of any of these being manufactured.” Chicago—“ None of any kind except a box of 20x28 terne.” Indianapolis—“We have obtained no American tin plates whatever.” Adrian, Mich “We have not been able to find any tin plates suitable for our use except imported article. If you know of any manufacturers of the article we would like to have their address.” Cincinnati. — “We have not bought or seen any American tin or terne plates for commercial use; only political.” 1 Fifteen of those who replied to the circular wrote that they had pnrchasedAmerican made tin plates. Some of the answers were as follows; Sioux City, lowa.—“Five boxes.” St. Louis -“Sixty boxes bought and delivered in May, 1891.” Cleveland.—“ One box, but price too high for us.” Toledo. — “ Ten boxes. Prices about equal to imported plates of same quality; no better.” Philadelphia.—“ Five boxes. We have had no plates offered us by any manufacturer.. The above were bought to try the quality.\ The total number of boxes reported by the fifteen purchasers is 665. A part of these are on hand in jobbers’ stores. THE FOREIGNER PAYS THE DUTY, One of the strongest supports that the protective idea has is found in the absurd pleas that “the foreigner should be made to pay for the privilege of selling his goods in our markets.” This is an appeal to the prejudices of our people, yet it is specious enough to commend itself to men of small intelligence who love to boast of their patriotism, and who never look below the surface of a proposition. With this class, assertion goes for argument, and a first impression is a final judgment. And why shouldn’t the foreigner be made to pay for the privilege of trading with the American people ? Our own merchants have to pay taxes to maintain onr institutions, why admit the competing wares of the foreigner free? This plea Is always promptly coupled with that “for protection to American labor and American industries.” This is the argument (?)of the demagogue, which is applauded by the fool.

This appeal to the intense pskriotism of those who are densely ignorant of economic questions is one plainstay of protection. Yet these two pleas are as inconsistent as they could well be, and to establish the truth of one is to demonstrate the falisiy of the other. As many poisons find an antidote in some other poison, equally deadly, so either of the propositions, when analyzed, is found to contain the very elements that counteract the good effects of the other. Let us subject them to this analysis: 1. “Foreigners who seek to benefit themselves by telling their wares in our market should be made to pay for the privilege. Therefore we will make them pay taxes on all the goods they import." This statement assumes that there will be no increase in the price of imported goods on account of the tariff, for, if the foreigner pays it out of his bwn profits, he will continue to sell his goods at the same 1 price as before the duty was levied. But if he makes provision for collecting it from his customers again, he must of necessity add it to the price of his goods. Under such circumstances the consumer finally pays it. H. “In order to protect American labor and American industries it is necessary to maintain a high tariff, to prevent the foreigner from flood our market with cheap goods and underselling the American producer." This statement assumes that the price of imported goods will be increased by the amount of the tariff paid by the foreigner, and which is afterward added to the price of the goods and collected from the American consumer. This is a fair sample of the stuff dealt out to the people by protectionists. The man who would turn these two statements loose m the column and undertake to impose on a thinking person with them is just about foolish enough to attempt to mix water and oil in the same bottle, or dishonest enough to give the bottle a vigorous shake and then try A to make the unsuspecting believe that the ingredients were actually made inseparable. In all their arguments, the protectionists skillfully keep the consumer out of sight They teach that this prohibition is all against the wicked and designing foreigner, who is anxious to flood this market with cheap goods, to the utter ruin of the American producer of goods of a like nature. Now, to say that the foreigner shall not sell his goods in our markets is only another way of saying that our own people shall not iwy anything from foreigners. No matter how much the foreigner might desire to flood the market with cheap goods, he could never succeed unless the demand should come from the American people in their expressed willingness to buy. And it is because the American people are willing to buy that we have a protective tpnff. ’ The restriction is not placed on the foreigner, but upon our own people. It is not to prevent the foreigner from selling any more than it is to prevent ns from buying. The tariff is, ' therefore, to protect the American people from the American people. | .1 , I Mill ■■!!!■ I II School Reports.
