TRUTH ABOUT THE TARIFF. The Farmer' Tariff Exaction. I Providence (R. I ) Journal Kep. J Nor is it truA, as Mr. Depew asserted, that the tariff burdens borne by the arm er are "too small to be calculated." Small they may be when taken separately, bat not too small to be stated in figures, and in the aggregate making a considerable amount. Unfortunately, also, for Mr. DJ;ew and other holiday speechmakers, the arm er s, and especially of the great West, seem to be cow ju-t in the mood that would rather calculate than accept the orator's easy dismissal of the subject. Here, for instance, are a few specimens of tbe tarifi taxes which the farmer pays: C7 per cent, on bis wife's dress, 30 per cent, on th$ thread It is siwed with, 50 per cent, on his daughter's ribbor.,öt per cent, on his ady-rcadeclothife:, 70 per cent, on hs Uannel shirt, C2 per cent, on his stockings, 20 per cent, on his shoes, so ptr cent, on his buckskin glove?, 5i Ter cent, on bh felt bat, 35 per cent, on bis farniture, 53 per Cent on bis crccaery, 4 per cent. on Lis linftiP, 40 per cent, on bis Klassware, K. per cent, on his lumber, 43 per cert on bis nails, H per CCnt OH biB screws, CO per cent, on his window tun, 4ti per cent on his rait, 82 pr eilt, on bia sugar, 23 per cent on his molas8es, 113 per Cent, on his rice, 50 per cent. on his rar, 50 psr cent, on his poefcetknife, 40 per cent, on hia saw. 2" i cents a pound on the tires of bis wagon,4j per cent. on hi! plows, spades, boea and chains. Tne list might readily be extended quite beyond the limits of the colnmn. Bat these few items ftre aufficent to Show that the farmer p'.yn a tariff on the materials tbat enter into tbe construction of his buildings, on the furnishings of bis house, on the clothing and food of his family, on the implements of his farm work; and to these might be added tbe tariff on the soap he uses to make himself clean, the medicine be takes to make himself well, and the books he reads to make himself wise. He must rav fifteeen cents duty on a fiiy-cent

nursing oottle and -ixty five cents a cubic foot on the marble far his tombstone. In short, on about everything he can use between the cradle and the grave he pays a taritr tax of from Id to 115 per cent. How Protection Works. I New York Times. Tte firm of Jones k Laugblin is one of the seven firms or companies which hare united in an association to kill competition in the manufacture and aale of ateel and. iron beams in this country and to keen cd a hieh price for such beams. We recently showed tbat for two years tbe uniform price of $73 2!) per ton for beams naa Deen maintained oj mis combination. The association is not a trust in the strict meaaine of tbe word, as ws have ex plained, although It does the work of a trust. Tbe Uwon commercial Bulletin publishes . statement from Mr. B. F. Jones. member of the firm of Jones fc Laughlin, in which be says there is no trust, but adds: "There axe only six or seven lirnn in the country that manufacture steel beams, the total yearly product amounting to between fcO.COo and 00,000 tons. Tbe firms have an UBOerstandiDg imon- themselves for the regulation of prices." And this under standing bas Mied tbe price for tbe last two years at $73.12 a ton, while the price of ateel rails Is new $31 50 a ton. The beam combination is enabled to maintain this price by a duty of $23 a ton on imported beams, which is virtually prohibitory. Probably Mr. Jones hsd in mind a proposi Bltion to reduce this duty when he wrote in hie recent letter to the Republican Club of this cly about "the acts and utterances of those in high places which threaten the peace and prosperity of our coun'ry by the attempt to foist upon us the vicious fallacies of free trade with rival nations." Let l's Make Our Own Woolen Goods. I Philadelphia Record. One of the most prominent woolen manufacturers In this country has admit ted that under the present tarlU on wool an iDgiisn manufacturer can land his pro duct in New York, duty paid, at $1 3D per yard, whilst It costi an American manu facturer for like goods $1 51 per yard a difference against the home manufacturer of twelve cents per yard. Hence. Ameri can mills are Importing their goods more man tnree-iourths made and doinz onlv the finishing here. This Is the result of the protection lorelt, which taxes both the raw and the fioished product, to tbe injury ex producers, consumers, manufac turers, end laborers. Woolen goods are made for us in England and In Germany, whilst our looms and our worklnz men stand idle. With free wool, the cloth we import con id be made at a cost in ew York of $1 20 per yard, whilst the foreicn gocds could not be landed there at less than $1 3'J pr yard. Tbe taritl' reformers want the goods roaae in America, and want such protec tion to American industry b would insure better W"-k, better wages, and cheaper goods, we should make up nearly the whole of the 075,000,000 pounds of wool consumed in this country. We us it and we should manufacture it. XJght Is Hreakinr. I Interview with Congressman McSaane lu New JtorkStar.l "How do the people of Nebraska feel in regard to the tarifi?" "Tbey are almost solidly with the President Republicans and Democrats alike. More than nine-tenths of the people ot my State and the States of Kamasasd Iowa re farmers, and they are beginning to realize the fact that they have for many years been most grieviously taxed to enrich an aristocracy of manufacturers who give tbem nothing in return. They wilt no lorgf r be bamboozled by the cry, 'Protect the American laborer,' for they continually read of the strikes, panoeriam and sufferings of the employes ot the great protected interests. Show me a State in which the great business interests are protected, and I will show you a State in which labor is demoralized and poorly poid. Light is breaking In upon tbe farmers of tbe West and Northwest, and if the Democratic Tarty will boldly and cordially Indorse the Preeident, let tbe Republicans look aharp to tteir fences In Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin." Oae Result of Protection, 18U Louis Republican.! CWith free trade in hides tbe leather manufacturers of the United States im ported $23,000,000 worth last year and exported $10 000,000 worth of leather goo Is, after supplying the home market. Without free hides they could not export at all. if a 05 per cent tax were put on hides as on wool this export trade would be destroyed .Et one, IIO.OOO.CCO woald he taken Irom the manufacturers and they would bs com pelled to discharge all the workmen whose Iator is required to produce these exported pood. Tne protectiv,, policy requires this lax on hides; it demands the lossot this trade and the discharge of thete workmen and although its advocates miynot be redy to enforce this demand Immediately, they are endeavoring to prevent hum' reds and thousands of workmen from obta ninr the pay Id places that would be opei' to them If wool were untaxed, so tbat we could build np such an export trade in woollens as we have In leather goods ander free trade In hides. What Free Wool Would Do, IMilladelphla Reoord.l American woolen manufacturers last year naed 210,000,000 poandi of American wool and 115.000.000 pounds of foreign Wool, whilst English, French and German woolen znannractureri used s 20,000,000 pounds of foreign wool in the manufacture ot woolen goods that were sold In the American market. This gave the American manufacturer 52 6 per cent, of the bom market and the foreign manufacturer 47.4 percent. Now, If we should hare free wpol, ti the liather cea luw fret tulos,

the American manufacturers anf the American workmen would not only have tbs whole of the home market to them welvee, just as tbe leather manufacturers aral the boot and shoemakers have, but.

lLte the latter, they would be able to com pete with foreign manufacturers and foreign workmen in the open markets of tho world. t Protection lowers Weges, C"ic5 Times 1 S ieb a tariff as oars tends to make waes lover rather than higher. A tariff" is a tax, and the assumption that a tax enriches a people Is absurd on the face of it. A "pro tective'Max is laid to induce people to engecein pome pursuit w&ica would not otherwise be profitable t attract them. The whole theory of tanfi protection is tne taxation ci tne natnraiiy profitable pursuits to induce raen to engste in pur suits that are naturally unprofitable. In other words, the object Js to indues men to leave the pursuits ia which the ran produce most and engage in thos) in which they canaot produce SO mnch, the losses being made np to them out of the prodncta cf those who stm remain m those pursuits which are naturally profitable. The rests H la a less agzreerate prod not. and less, of course, to be distributed as wages. That is to say, the result is lower average wages. A Frank Admission, New York Times 1 After makine a very thorough inquiry concerning the production, importation, and use of carpet wool, the Bjston Cam merciai uuiietin, whose loyalty to in protedive policy will not be questioned says: 4,The value in the free markets ot tie world of a year s growth ot wool from o le carpet-wool she ep is from 2." to 40 cen-s. Wool crowera eomniain tnai mey are ios ire money on merino sheep that yield tbem from SO cents to $1 '. We do not believe it advisable to impose so enormous a tax as that which is necessary to Dllie carpet-wool growing profitable in th's country. The present duty does not make it profitable, and ai there nas oeu prasu callv no domestic competition the present duty on carpet-wools v ana nas oeen lor jeers a direct tax on the consumer. The Real Victims of Ilia Tariff. I Terre Haute Gazette. 1 Carnezie fc Co. have declared a general lockout at the Edgar Thompson 8teel Works at Pittaburc, the men having de clined to accept a redaction of 10 pjr cent inwsces. There is a Steel Trust Uirnezie it Co, make a profit when shut down as well as when running. A shut down dots not affect them. Bat it does atuct the mea, acd verv seriously.

INew York World. Chauncey Depew predicts, in a glowing period, the mission of oar miaufacturers to "enter all ports, explore new countries acd to compete with the most advanced nations in all the markets of tbe world." Very fine; but our manufacturers can never do It to long as they are handicapped with the tar ill enhanced cost of raw materials and machinery. The United States is the only manufacturing country in the world that taxes raw materials. Consequently tbe manufacturers of the "most advanced nations" undersell m in "all tbe markets cf tbe world." The percentage of manufactures in the total exports has not increased during twenty-five years of high tarifJs. Brain Labor vs. Panper Labor. I Roger Q. Mills. Iligh-priced labor Is not pauper labor. It is brain labor. We have the smartest people in the world. We turn out more manu factures to a man than anv other conntrr. Our products are about twice those of Great liritain. Don t be alarmed, my friends, tbat your Manufactured goods are to be Placed on the free list. They never will be. We are going to have revenues from customs, not from raw materials, but we will rely upon our finished products. The par ty to which I belong, the party to which the illustrious President belongs, said at Chicago that we would give to the American workman the right to use the foreign materials and protect his wages, and now we don't intend that foreign workmen shall wreck his prospects. How Wages Is Regntatcd. IChUsgo Times One cause of relatively high wages in this country is relatively cheap land and relatively abundant natural resources. Another cause is low cost of transportation, dne largely to relatively low cost of railways. Another cause ia the greater efficiency of labor, which Is the principal cause of tbe relativoly high waes in England as compared with the countriesof continental Europe: and this greater efliciency of labor is due in part to superior machinery and productive economies and in part to the superiority of the workmen themselves. Through the co-operation of these causes we get the largest average product for each producer, and the larger the product the more there is to distribute as wages. England and Oar Tariff Laws. Providence Journal, Rep. There is a good deal of misrepresentation in tbe current talk about England being delighted at the proposed changes in our tarllllaws. Tbe fact is tbat intelligent English merchants and manufacturers see with perfect clearness that If our restrictions on foreign trade are moderately and wisely relieved, their cwn basinets is likely to be seriously injored by American competition. A recent Koyal Commission. for encple, reported tb.it nothing except the peculiar tariff arrangements of the United States kept Kagland from losing to oa tbe greater portion of her foreign trade in woolen goods. ;iIow It Beats the Farmers, llluslandman.l The tariff on wool is tbe bone which the burglar throws to tbe dog. It Is a scheme to pacify the farmers, whl the manufacturers and speculators become million aires at their expense. The fact is, farmers of America pay more in the form of taxes on woolen gooda than they receiye in the torn of extra compensation on the prodnct of their flocks, and for this one farm prodnct which ii protected to their possible advantage, there are a thousand things whose protection enriches the manufacturer and speculator at the farmer's expense.

PANCAKES SM TABIETT. On cold winter mornings pancakes of all

kinds hold an important place at the breakfast table. The cherished buckwheat cake, most prominent ot all, from Thanksgiving Day until early spring, is seldom absent from the morning meal in the genuine American household. When proo erly made, this is the most delicious of all the griddle cakes, bat it has neen against it when made from yeat or risen over night that it was d 33calt to make light and sweet, and that disagreeable eflects fre nently followed it eatirjg. It is found that by the use of the itoyai msing rowder to raise the batter, these objections have been overcome, and that buckwheat cak?s are made a most delicious food, light, sweet, terrier and peifactly wholesme, tbatean be eaten by anyone without the slightest digestive inconvenience.
