PERFECTING protection. Two Slight Changes Suggested In the In. terest of Farmers and Laborers. The sepnte is now engaged in remedying the small imperfections of the Dingley bill, which, as all good protectionists assert, is ou« of the best tariff bills ever drafted. It distributes its blessings to all —fttriut r, laborer and manufacturer. Without.tioubting the good iirtenI tions of the makers, we wish to suggest I one or two minor details which mi. Ht I possibly help the bill to fulfill the exi peetations of its authors: First. —Lubin’s export bounty scheme might enable the farmer to get a small slice of the benefits of protection. Os course the farmer doesn't expect —especially at first—to get as much of the benefits as the manufacturers have been getting for 30 years. A protection of about 20 per cent—that is 10 cents per bushel on wheat, 5 cents on corn, etc. — would satisfy him, while it takes four times as much to satisfy ordinary tariff infants. This small export duty would not make good the farmer’s loss because of import duties on manufactured prod ucts, saying nothing about past losses, but in course of time, after his industry had felt the stimulating effects of real protection “what protects,” the farmer might muster up courage enough to follow the example of Oliver Twist — which example has grown into a custom with protected interests—and ask for “more.” Possibly also he might form political trusts or combines to demand “more” and raise millions of dollars to send lobbies to Washington to bribe congress. While protection is in order export duties are the farmer’s only hope. With them he may hope not only to change his losses to profits, but also to regain that power and position which were once his, but which have long since passed into the hands of the manufacturers. Second. —It is also fitting to recognize the laborer in the distribution of tariff profits. Like the farmer, he now puts his hand into bis pocket to help swell the profits of protection, practically none of which comes bis way. It is not an easy matter to equalize the benefits of protection so tbat« the workingman shall get bis full share. A prohibitive duty on imported labor might in the course of time afford some protection Uy restricting the supply of labor, so that manufacturers could carry out their good intentions (expressed when asking for higher duties) and pay “American wages to American workingmen.” At present the condition of workingmen in the protected industries is pitiable in the extreme. The Philadelphia Ledger, a good Republican paper, told us about May 1 that in the protected iron and coal industries of Pennsylvania the wage rate has been reduced so low “that it is scarcely sufficient to provide, the necessaries of decent, sanitary living,” It says “the lowest classes of alien cheap labor swarm in the iron and coal districts of the state,” and the competition for work is ho fierce “that they contend, not against the employers for "the highest wages, but among each other for the lowest?”' “As appears by the testimony presented to the legislative committee, * * * they herd in squa lor, subjects of abject penury, and are beset by disease, dirt and hunger.” The Ledger thinks our immigration laws are “defective and improvident” and suggests “to properly protect workmen congress should pass an immigration as well as a tariff bill.” This is a good idea and should be acted upon at once. Thewly wonder is that some of the good manufacturers, in their anxiety to protect and raise the wages of their workingmen, did not think of this plan before. Then, if they should have a law passed which should make it compulsory for them to give at least one-half of their protection and monopoly profits to their employees, protection would begin to be an all around blessing. The manufacturers might still be getting the lion’s share, but they would not get all When these changes are made in the bill, it will undoubtedly be what the New York Tribune declared its prototype, the McKinley bill, to be—“the bravest and best tariff bill ever passed.” Will they be made?—Byron W. Holt.

Pushing Along a Good Thing. . ' ' Mi. The Sugar Tariff I’rize Puzzle. A reward of $25 is offered by the ; New York World for any linguist who will translate the sugar schedule in the new tariff bill into English that clth be , understood. It is said that the sugar ! men understand it perfectly, and if they t do what business is it of others? The! Sugar trust is running the United, States senate at present, and it is hold-1 ing up all legislation until it gets what; it wants. If the people of. this country ( had a chance to vote on the election of United States senators, some of the old ' fossils in the senate would never be heard of again.—Harrisburg Telegraph. . The Trust’s Warm Friend. Senator Aldrich has always been a truly good friend of the Sugar trust, and it is apparent that this friendship has not grcwh cold.—Boston Herald.

Swapping Free Biden For Dutiable Sugar. “The senate tariff bill ns a whole,” says ex Congressman John De Witt Warner, “is a notice to eastern manufacturers of what they may hereafter expect. ' Hi.therto they have considered protection as a sort of providential arrangement by which they were enabled to feed on the rest of the country. Now, like Poloitius in ‘Hamlet,’ they are invited by ‘at i rtain convocation of politic worms’ to a supper‘not where they eat, btkL-xvhere they are e ten.’ The manufacturers of New England, New York and Pennsylvania are to take their turn at being mulcted for the benefit of others who now contrdl legislation. This applies t specially to the hide schedule." “Cannot the New England senators secure favorable changes in that schedule?” “I think not. The bill as it stands is satisfactory to the Sugar trust and probably cannot be kept so except by the votes controlled by the Cattle trust of the west. Were the New England senators willing to risk offending the Sugar trust, they could doubtless defeat the duty on hides, but the fact is that Boston and Providence, in proportion to their size, are far more saturated with Sugar trust, fflfluences than is any other part of the country, and, however much Senators Aldrich, Wetmore, Hoar and Lodge may bewail the fate of their boot and shoe manufacturers, there is no prospect whatever that they will sacrifice the Sugar trust interests to help them.” Pt I) Senator Hoar—That (free) hide has been in the family 25 years, and it almost breaks my heart to part with it. Senator Allison—You needn’t snivel. Keep your old,hide if you want to, but you don’t get any sugqr (profits). See? •‘Sugar Trust Exists No I.onger,” We aie a.-sured by The Sugar Trade Journal of May 13—organ of the Sugar trust —that “if ever a monopoly existed in the sugar refining business it exists no longer, and it is not likely that it will ever be renewed.” Tbits'is delightful news. The Journal was discussing an amendment to the senate bill to have refined sugars pay the same duties as raw sugars in cases where the manufacture is controlled by a monopoly. If this “visicm.ry proposal” should pass the senate, it would jeopardize the tariff bill -and the Sugar trust’s tens of millions of surplus profits, which are so near at hand that the mouths of Havemtyt r and Searles are watering for them. The Sugar trust trembles at the prospect and tries to keep up its courage by having its organ inform the. world that “A lot of such visionary proposals will, no doubt, be introduced while the bill is under discussion, but in the cud the sound judgment' men will control and a tariff bill be passed without very much change from the senate schedule.” The trust may be right. It usually is, for it can predict what will happen to the sugar schedule of the senate bill. It knows what demands will be made by its agents and tools in the senate, and it also kn»jws the power of those who make denjands to enforce them. It puts $70,000,000 against the interests of 70,000,000 people, and it knows from experience which has most weight in the senate, where two or three bold the balance c.f power. No, there is no sugar trust and never was one. “When the devil was sick, the devil a red nt would be. ” Perpetual Metion by Protection. The California argument for higher truit duties is a sort of perpetual motion. The only disadvantage the Californian fruit raiser is at is to be-found in the cost of his land,:but the only thing that makes his land expensive is the profitableness of fruit culture. So the matter works out in this way: The great profits of fruit raising sent the value of land up to hundreds of dollars an acre. The interest on the value of the land makes a large item in a fruit raiser’s balance sheet, and he feels the need of a high price for his fruit. This Senator Jones procures for him by letting it bo known that he will not vote for the tariff bill unless it contains duties on hides and increased duties on fruit and the cheapest sorts of wool. The increased duty adds to the profits of fruit culture, and the price of" Hind takes another rise, whereupon the fruit grower complains that the interest on his land investment is so great or the rental he has to pav for his land is so high that there is an insufficient profit in the business for him, and the only thing that will save him from disaster is more duty. Logically this process can be carried on indefinitely. Practically it cannot, because with the increase in the price of fruit the consumption of fruit will decline. The consumer will be worse off for the change. The grower, so far as he is not to be considered as a land owner, will be no better off, but the value of the land will be as high as the profits of fruit culture will permit.— Journal of Commerce and Commercial Bulletin. Who Pays For Protection? The law is invariable that the unpro* tected must pay the ultimate cost for the protection of the protected.—David Lubin.

A HELPLESS FARMER. William Slimpson Stricken with Paralysis of His Lower Limhs-Caused by Overwork. fYnm thr New Era, Oreeniburg, Ind.

Many of our rentiers ntny reihentber tut item in this pillar a year ngo last fall which stated that Mr. William Stimpson, a well-to-do farmer, living near Rugby, Ind., had been stricken with paralysis of the lower limbs, aud his recovery was doubtful. The case which was an unusually severe and complicated one has at last been entirely cured, to the utmost surprise and joy of Mr. Stimpson and his family. Mr. Stimpson was pleased to relate to a reporter the particulars regarding his case, and his subsequent recovery. “A year ago last fall,” began Mr. Stimpson, “I did a large amount of work. My hired help left me in the middle of corn cutting and I finished the fall work myself, doing an unusual large amount of work. I put up several hundred shocks of fodder, and also husked all my corn. To accomplish this I had to work early and late. “About the first of December, as I was getting my fall work about done, I suffered a stroke of paralysis, which the physician said was brought on by excessive labor. My left limb was entirely helpless and my right limb was fast becoming so. My physician became uneasy, and after attending upon me for a week or so, he brought me a box of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, saying that he believed they would do me more good than anything which he knew of, as he had used them with great success in n case very similar to mine where all other remedies hud failed. The case in question was that of L. Phillips, of Petersville. “About the time I began taking the second box of these pills a decided change was
