TRUTH ABOUT THE TARIFF

Tha Duty oa Wool. Mr. J. H. Miller, a pioneer wool grower, ho haa grown wealthy la his business and Teeides Bear Sacramento, says: "It is the tariff upon life's necessities Which causes mischief. There was no duty to epea of on wool in 1S59, when I got 15 cents per pound for my clip, nor In 1800. when I received 27 cents per pound for it la 25ü8tan; but there was a duty oa It in 1372, when my spring clip brought 52 cents and the fail clip 32 cents, and the daty is oa it yet, when wool is quoted at 1XA cents in the market. "If duty on wool ran its price nn to 52 cents in la72, why baa it let it drop to llA cents now? "What fact more convincing than this could be produced to show that lhe duty on wool has little or nothing to Uo with its rise and fall in price? The lively demand for wool during the period between 1SGO and 1SG7. and the high prices it consequently brought, proved a temptation to the farmers to invast in sheep during the interval named, np till 1S73. "By that time overproduction had taken place and prices fell and kept falling, in the face of an immense increase of population and home consumption and rapid as well as enormons decrease in the number of sheep. Calif ornia'B output of wool is to- aay 20,000,000 pounds less than it was a few years ago and it is steadily dscreasIB?. "My idea of wool is that it is one of the necessaries of life, and as such should not be taxed; neither scoald beef, orn, wheat, iron, steel, lumber, coal, nor anything necessary to comfortable livelihood Of workingmen and women." Western Republicans Assertion Them, elves. I Washington Star J Fully one-half tin Republicans would oppose ander all circumstances any proposition to remove or reduce the tax on whisky, and the removal of the tobacco tax would be merely tolerated by many. Mr. Browne, of Indiana, and a large number of his associates are in favor of a proposition to place coal, salt, lumber, and a lew articles not objected to oa the free list; to cut o2 all or nearly all the duty on sugar; to repeal the tax on alcohol used in the arts, and on unmanufactured tobacco, and possibly reduce it to some extent on certain classes of manufactures. But they will not agree to handling tobacco alone or to making any reduction in the whisky tax. Mr. McKinley drew np a resolution, lhe adoption of whi:n he proposed to move in the House last Monday, providing merely for the repeal of the tobacco tax. He submitted the resolution to some members of his party of whose support he was not certain, telling them thit h proposed putting the Democrats in a hole. To his astonishment he was told that there were at least fifty Republicans then in the House who would oppose such a proposition regardless of all party feeling. He found the opposition so strong and angry that he did not offer the resolution. Ad Abuse of Government. The Open Court. J The United States is now atllicted with Monopolies based upon and beiDg fostered by our American protective tariö. By such a taritJ duties are meant our National Government levies on foreign imported good?, not only for i. own support and for the payment of our public debt, but also ior the so-called protection of our American industry, chiefly of the mechanic and manufacturing kind. Such a tariff, endancing the prices of foreign imported goods, enables American producsrs and manufacturers to sell their own eends of the same tort dearer than they could oo othrwi.e, ana C3mpals the pf ople geterally to pay higher prices icr such goods, foreign or domestic, than ihey would have to pay or them without such a tarilf. L'cdsr the fundamental Uws of this country, the Declaration of Inde pendence and the Constitution of the United States, our National Government has no business to lend its hand to such a trick, profitable to certain classes of men. but detrimental to the American people as a whole. Im fact, under the fundamental laws referred to, our National Government nas no right to raise revenue for any other purpose than for its own support and for meeting its iigitimate obligations. A Silly Cry. INew York World ! Could anything be sillier thsn the outcry of the over coddled indtutriea and their partisan organs that any reduction in the war tarill will bring blue ruin upon lhe country ? This coua try never had a 47 p?r cent, tariff until 1805. Did it not grow and prceper np to that dat? Have not wages always been higher here than in the Old "Wt rid alike under low tariffs and high tarns .' Are they not relatively higher to-s clay in the nonprotected than in the protected industries? What sense is there in the cry that it will be a calamity to make sugar and clothing cheaper and to relieve salt, lumber end hbers and chemicals used in manufactures from needless taxation? The enactment of the Mills bill would leave the average duty higher than it was under the Morrill tariff in 18G3. It would leave it higher than was proposed by the Republican Tariff Commissioners in 1832. It will add no more to the free list, with She exception of wool, than was recom to ende J by President Arthur and Secretary Jolger. The idea of ruining a country by abolishing its needless taxes was never before beard of in the history of the world. Wages and the Tai in. Chicago Times.l Wages has always been higher in this Country than ia European countries, no matter what the tarm. The general aver age of money wages is higher in this conn' try now than it was in 1S00, when we had the lowest, or least protective tariff we cave had lor three 'quarters of a century. 23ut while that la true, It is equally true, that the average is as much higher in proportion in European countries, while the advance has been proportionately greater in England, where there is no protective tariff. And it is also true that the average of wages is much higher in England now than it is in France and Germany, where there are tariffs for protection, though by SO means such mountainous tariffs as ours, as the high tariff advocates would have us believe. These facts are auffiel ent to convince any rational being that high tariffs do not make high wages. Facts Speak Loader than Words. I Springfield (Mass.) Republican. 1 It Is a significant fact that, while the woolen industry languishes and the manufacturers fail not only to export goods to any amount, but even to control a large fraction of the home market, the boot and ehoe and leather Industries are in an active, buoyant state, monopolizing the home market and exporting to a considerable ex tent. Wool is taxed while hides are on the free l;t. Shipment of boots and shoes to point outside New England are larger than ever before, although factories are being built hi other sections to supply the local dem: d. What Protection Does. The Open Court. A protective tariff, for enhancing the "price of foreign and domestic goods, renders the hard-earned money of the masses of the American people cheap. But dear money, purchasing a large quantity, not cheap money, purchasing only a small quantity of goods for the sunt ram, should be the leading principle of the political economy of this country It most benefit! the masses of tha people.

IChicago Herald Attention Is repeatedly called in the organs of protection to the fact that the tariff tax ot 75 cents a ton is laid not upon anthracite but upon bituminous coal. And the assertion is made that the existence of the tax, or its repeal, would hare no In fluence upon the price of hard coal, and is not appreciable in its enect upon the price ot soft coal. If all this is so, and as no revenue is needed upon this article of prime con sumption, thouzh it yielded last year something like $J50,000, why insiBt upon retaining the tax? On with it at once. According to this claim it does nobody good. Kven a protectionist is without excuse for its continuance. flow tha Farmers are Robbed. Chicago Tribuue Rep.1 The Western farmers, who have been re quired for a quarter of a century to buy in a high and sell in a low market, and who in ten Western States now have their lands subjected to a mortgage debt of 1.200 milliocs, sutler tarin exactions dimcuit to calculate only because of their enormous extent. Selling low and buying high, thev have been smothered with debt, and all their earnings above bare living expenses have gone to meet mortgage dues a consequence not of their situation, bat of excessive and unequal taxation. Should Soli to tho Whole World, I The Open Court. American mechanic and manufacturing industry should have for its prodacts not only a home market, but as extensive as possible a market in foreign countries, too, just as our American agriculture has it for its products. Thus, useful employment would be permanently given to a great many men in this conntry. But this is prevented, at present, by our protective tariff, rendering American goods too dear for consumers abroad. S op the Surplus. I Sew York World. As the main purpose of L'ncoln in the war was to save the I'aion, with abolition or without it, so now the niiin thing before Con gre s is to stop the surplus, with whatever measure of tariff reform can be secured in the operation. But thf re need ba no misconception as to tLe effect of the internal tax bill. It is simply a surrender of revenue, with little or no relief to the great body of the people. Caute and KfTact. IN'ewYork Herald I These trusts are not merely on of the greatest abases of the present. They are cue of the most threatening dangers of the future. They are a natural result of a high protective tariff. Protection Is the cause and trusts the effect. While the former lasts the latter may be expected to exist in some form. The only thorough remedy must be applied to the eeat of the disease, the origin and caute of the evil the tariff. Here's Where th Tart ft Pinches. Milwaukee Journal. 1 We bosst of strikiDg the fetters ofT from 4,(XX) 000 slaves, while this is the condition of 8 i X0,000 farmers and 4,000,000 mechanics and laborers. We talk about high wages. when balf of those wages are confiscated to sordid avarice, and no equivalent return i8 permitted. It is time we stopped braggirg about prosperity and took steps to secure to industry the crust it has earned. Convicted Out of Its Own Mouth. IChicago Herald ! An absent-minded protection paper. which forgets the protection claim that the tariff does not encourage trusts, says: "An effective blow can be aimed at the Sugar Trust by wiping out the duty on all raw and rehned sugars." If wiping out this duty would deal an elective blow at the Sugar Trust, why would not wiping out other duties have the eame enect on other trusts? They Kick la Tain. Chicago News.! The fact is the more these high-tariff ad vooates kick against the President's mes sage the more they are intensifying and extending the vast tnblic innaence it has aheady had, and which la destined to pro dnce the most profound and far-reaching results. A Mortgage on Generation l uborn. Oshkosh Times 1 The tariff question should be taken before the Supreme Court of Kansas, which has decided that a mortgage on a prospec tive crop, not planted, is invalid. The tariff system is a mortgage on generations un born. Vo Such News as Yet. I Pittsburg Post. I I'p to the hour of going to press we have not heard of any iron manufacturer going out of business as a result of the Mills tariff bill. Neither have we been informed that Andrew Carnegie has moved his steel rail plant to Chicago. Down With It.

Why They Howl. St. Louis Post Dispatch. Any tariff bill that is worth anything will of course raise a bowl from the wartariff crowd, aDd the better the bill the louder the howl. Desperate End. Delphi Time. 1 It is really pitiful to see the squirmlngs and twisting the Journal goes into in its defense of protection. It knows that the people are tired of its hardens, bat to call their attention from it and to blind their eyes to the real issue, the revision of the war tariff and the reduction of the surplus, as set forth in tbe President's Message, it aeta np the bugaboo of "free trade" and ar gues about "direct taxation" . and all that flummery. What the Democratic party wants, and what tbe President advises in his Message, ia, that the present war tariff. which bears so heavily on the farmer and laborer for the benefit ot the few; which is taking from the people a vast sum of money each year that can not be used legitimately for government expenses, and thus piling up a surplus in the treasury that is sorely needed in the channels of business, abonld be revised and cut down, and that the tariff on the raw material should be taken off. that our manufacturers may be able to compete with other countries and thereby increase their output and give employment to the thousands of unemployed men that arc tramping through oar country trying to find work. These are the lanes before the country, to-day, and not tree trade: and on them the Djmocratla party will ro before tha people and win a glorious vic tory in the coming campaign.

The following words, in praise of IR.

TREATING THE VJROfJG DISEASE. Many times women call on their family physicians, suffering, as they imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from heart disease, another from liver or kidney disease, another from nervous exhaustion or prostration, another with pain here or there, and iu this way they all present alike to themselves and their easy-goin? and indifferent, r over-busy doctor, separate and distinct diseases, for which he prescribes his pills and potions, assuming them to be such, when, in reality, they are all only Mimi'tom caused by some womb disorder. The physician, ignorant of the cause of suffering, eneouratres his practice until lanre bills are made. The suQerinir patient gets no better, but probably worse by reason of the delay, wrong treatment and consequent complications. A proier medicine, like Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, directed to the caute would have entirely removed tho disease, thereby disiclliDg all those distressing symptoms, and instituting comfort ineteaü of prolonged misery.

THE OUTGROWTH OF A VAST

The treatment of many thousands of cases of those chronic weakness and distressing ailments peculiar to females, at the Invalids' Hotel and urical Institute, Buffalo, N. V., has afforded a vast experience in nicely adapting and thoroughly testing rennlies for the cure of woman's peiiliar maladies. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Proscription is the ouyrowth, result, of tltis jrreat and valuable experience. Thotisands of t-stimoiiials, received from patients and from physicians who have tested it in the more aavravated and obstinat? eases which had battled their skill, prove it to Iks the most wonderful remedy ever devised for the relief and cure of suffering women. It is not reeoramenoV'd as a " cure-all," but as a most perfect Specific for woman's peculiar ailments. As a powerful, invigorating tonic, it ini'mrts strength to tiie whole- system, and to the uterus, or womb and its appendages, in particular. For overworked, worn-out," ''run-down." debilitated teachers, milliners, dressmakers, seamstresses, "shop-girls," housekeepers, nursing mothers, and feeble women generally.

Many recent cases of eerlous illness have been reported from the use of tbe new patent foods for infants, from untested baking powders and cheap flavoring extracts. The desire for rapid wealth indaces unscrupulous manufacturers to place anything before tne public that will Bell at a large profit, without regard to its usefulness or heal thulness. At present there is a great raid upon the baking powder market, and so many impire and adulter ated articles of this kind have been tound peddled about the country that the authorities io several of the Slates have taken the necessary action to expose then.

The danger to the public is made still greater by the nnblushirg eflroatery With which tbe proprieiors of these impure roowders advertise them as perfect, claiming for them all kinds of fame and impossible endorsements The official report of the Ohio Slate Food Commission gives the names of a number cf these impure powders, and the amount of impurity and inert matter in each as follows: Per cent, of Imparities etc. . 12 CC ..12 C t, 14 39 ...132i 24 04 Name. 1 r.

Tbe Impurities In the powders above mentioned were found to consist of various matters more or less hurtful. In Dr. Price's powder the principal impurities were lime and Rochelle salts, which were found Jn large quantities. The Impurities in Horsford'a powder were composed of phosphate of soda, lime, etc., but none of tbe "nutritious phosphates," without which its manufacturers claim life can not be sustained. Tbe imparities fonnd in the other powders named were principally alum aod lime. From the report of the Commission it is evident that the Royal Baking Powder is of the highest degree of strength and purity. Bnrgltn attempted a raid on McCoy's hank of Rensselaer Friday night, but were drlyen off by the watchman.

EXPERIENCE. In pregnancy, " Favorite Prescription " is a "mother's cordis!," relieving nausea, weakness of stomach and other uistrcfv-ini symptoms common to that condition. It its use is kept up in the latter months of gestation, it so prepares the system for delivery as to greatly lessen, and many times almost entirely do away with the suflcrings of that trving onJcal.

Warren, General Tassenger Agent, St. Faul, Minn. "Best care to? consumption is the old Boston Vegetable Pulmonary Balsam." ' No Universal Remedy lias yet been discovered ; but, as at least four-fiftli3 of human diseases have their Bource in Impure Blood, a medicine which restores that fluid from a depraved to a healthy condition comes as near being a universal cure as any that can be produced. Ayer's Sarsaparilla affects the blood in each stage of its formation, and is, therefore, adapted to a greater variety of complaiut3 than any other kuowa medicine. Boils and Carbuncles, whicHdefy ordinary treatment, yield to Ayer's Sarsaparilla after a comparatively brief trial. Mr. C. K. Murray, of Charlottesville, Va., writes tlu.t for years he was afflicted with bills which caused liku much suffering. These were succeeded by carbuncles. i which be had several at one time. He then began the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and after taking three bottles, the carbuncles tlisajpeared, and fur six years he has not had even a pimple. That insidious disease, Scrofula, m the fruitful cause of innumerable complaints, Consumption Win;; only one of inauy equally fatal. Eruptions, ulcers, sore eyes, glandular swellings, weak and wasted muscles, a capricious appetite, ami the like, are pretty sure indications of a scrofulous taint in tho system. Many otherwise beautiful faces are disfigured by pimples, eruptions, and unsightly blotches, which arise from impure blood, showing the need of Ayer's Sarsaparilla to remedy the evil. All sufferers from blood disorders should give Ayer's Sarsaparilla a fair trial, avoiding all powders, ointments, und washes, and esiceially cheap and worthless coin(ounds, which not only fail to effect a cure, but more frequently aggravate and confirm the diseases they ate fraudulently advertised to remedy.

.act 1 Tl.is is the way a horse and a poor blanket look at the end of winter. Why is it that of two horse blankets which look and feel equally well one won't wear at all, and the other wears well? This 5 a Trade Mark shows why Horse Blankets which are strong and have a reputation are always imitated in poor qualities which look like them, but having fewer warp threads are not as strong. Some dealers buy these poor imitations for a few cents less and by saying they are "just as good,"! sell them at the same price as the strong blankets to parties who do not know the difference. j You cannot tell whether horse blankets are strong by the look or feel, as the warp threads do not show on the face.j How then are you to know? &t&&8tm4 - Inorderthat you cantell a strong blanket from a weak one, the manufacturer of SK Horse Blankets sews the above 5 Trade Mark inside of each blanket. This is a guarantee that it is the strongest blanket made for the money and will wear well. Many poor imitations have been sold as 5 blankets. Remember none are genuine unless ths 5 Trade Mark is sewed inside. Probate Cause No. 1,265. IntheClicnlt Court of Marion County, Indiana. My Ttrm. lsw. liiktn h.
