But every e:Vort that baa been made in the meantime to reform the tariS baa met wltn the determined opposition of the republican leaden in congress, and of the republican press of the coantry, with few exceptions. Wonder if the Chicago convention will have the assurance to renew the pledge which the party hu to contemptuously Ignored? It is instructive to note the workings of protective principles at all times. The following shows how protection helped Indiana and the other central states, then known aa part of Louisiana, in the eighteenth century: From 1720 to 1731 the trade and commerce of the Mississippi valley were monopolized by the Company of the Indies. Tne laws by which the colonists were governed during this period, were in some degree arbitrary, and fatally adverse to the growth and prosperity of the settlers in the various districts of Louisiana. The cultivators of the soil were held in) a sort of vassalage . The company could, at any time, fix the T trices at which the colonists should buy m ported gcoda and ware, and it could establish the prices of the products raised or manufactured by the Inhabitants of the Colony. 77''' hitter were compelled to hi, "t Jtilh pi ire?, the, inerchau'line ff the coMiptixi.

The agriculturalists still sell in the chc:p?st market and buy in the detmt, A high protective tariff fl a monstrous irrorjg. It Is a robbery of one man by another.

legislation. When, as li the caae now, what one man robs another of means a lowered standard of comfort for the man that is mulcted, protection ia class legislation of the most unjust and vicious kind. That this policy thus permits one private citizen to invade the rights of another, should of itself condemn it in the eyes of all fair-minded men. Protection woold no longer be a living issue but for one reason: The fallacies, sophisms and halftruths of its expounders confuse and obscure a subject really clear. When people understand that trade between nations in no way'diüers from trade between indiridcals, we shall haye heard the last of this immoral and pernicious dogma.

GREAT 13 HUMBUG. The approximate valM of the domestic breads tuffs exported i:om the United States during the month of February was $10,033,021 as compared with $11,831,450 during the corresponding month of 1337. During the eight months ended Feb. 29 last the valus of domestic breadstuff's exported was $91,707,813, as against $104, 670,453 during the corresponding eight months of 1S36-7. The figures for the first two months of 1833 were $13,15i,9U; for the ret two months of 1S37, $20,410,259. Daring the eight months ended Feb. 29 we eiported 51,900,331 bushels o! wheat and 1G.4 13,700 bushels of corn. During the corresponding period of lS3-7 we exported 05,53 f ,673 bushels of wheat and 25,183,730 bushels of corn. These figures are worthy the careful attention of our farmers. They show a declining foreign demand for our farm products, arising largely from a resort by Europe to other sources of supply. The indications are that Europe will hereafter take proportionately less of our wheat, corn, etc, than heretofore. Where then are we to find an outlet for our steadily increasing production of breads tufls? The problem is a serious one and may well challenge the consideration of thoughtful minds. Reflection, we think, will lead most intelligent people to the conclusion that the principal cause of the declining foreign demand for American farm products is the spoliation tariff. It is a law of trade which congresses and legislatures can not repeal or suspend, that in order to sell, one must bay. The policy of fining Americans for every purchase they make abroad is having its legitimate efiect. The nations of Europe which have been our best customers in the past are beginning to look elsewhere for the commodities which they have heretofore obtained almost exclusively of cs. They will buy where they can sell on equal terms with their rivals. The American farmer will have to grin and bear it, we suppose. The prices of his products will still be fixed by the prices obtained for his surplus in Europe. With this surplus steadily increasing owing to the declining demand, his revenue wil j ist as fcteadily fall. Meantime he will be compelled to pay artificially enhanced prices for his coal, salt, lumber, tools, clothing, medicine, sngar and furniture, for the blessed privilege of a "home market." And what is more, he will help to perpetuate a system which is thus robbing him both ways, nnder the delusion that he is thus "protecting" himself and his neighbors against some vague but terrible monster called the "Fauper Labor of Europe." Meantime sleek, well fed gentlemen of the As drew Car5e;ie sort will be langhin in tbeir sleeves at him. Great is humbu?. The republican members of congress have been paralyzed by the receipt of a circular from some unknown source in which the following questions are propounded: 1. Are you in favor of Itosrog Conkuso returning to his old place as the leader of tbe republican party? If so, please give your reasons therefor; and if not, your reason for your opposition. - lo you not think that under the leadership of Engeos Conklin the republican party would be more certain of success at the next presidential election? In giving the answer, please state reasons es fully as possible. 3. Would you favor Roscoe Cosklixi as tbe republican candidate for the preside ccy at the next presidential election? 4. What candidate would you suggest that would make a more enthusiastic camp&i:rn or be more likely to succeed? Very few members, it is said, have answered these circulars. They have, however, made a "good deal of talk," the general drift of which is not favorable to Mr. Cosklisg's resumption of leadership. The republican party might, ho wever.do worse and undoubtedly will than to putRo-coK Co KU5G at the head of its ticket this year. Of course he could not beat Cleveland, but be would lend dignity and character to the republican campaign which it is not going to bave nnder the leadership of any of the men now prominently mentioned. Conkling, with all his faults, is far better than his party, and as for brains ha has more than any half-dozen other republican states men that could be named, all put together. The North Topeka Conner has brought to the surface the interesting fact that John Jaxes Ikgalls of Kansas, ran for governor of that state, In 1364, on a platform containing the following "planks:" That we hereby ratify the nomination of OkosgxB. McClxllait of New Jersey, for president, and George H. Pesdlitoh of Ohio, for vice president, and we pledge them our hearty support. That we hereby ratify and adopt the Chicago platform, as understood and construed by Gen. George B. McClxllait In his letter accepting the nomination of the Chicago convention for president of the United States. This was the very McClellaw whom Inoalls stigmatized the other day as an "ally of the Confederacy." It seems that he was in better company in 1301 than he has been since. Withi5 a very few days after the indict ment against Simecs Cot, chairman of the democratic county committee, had been returned by the U. 8. grand jury, Judge Woods ordered that Coy and the other democrats indicted with him should be made to plead and be put upon their trial. That is now nearly a year ago. The same grand jury indicted Oen. Cabsah ah, the chairman of the republican county committee, who has not, to this day been required to appear before the court If there ia no political feeling ia this thing, what ia there In It? Ii Ca as a haw ia not fthlelded by a repiW? U, ?(

judge because he is a republican, why is ha shielded from the consequences of his crime? If the people are expected to respect the law, which is made for all alike, is it not the duty of the judiciary to aet them a proper example of Its supposed absolute impartiality? A FOOLÄWhIS FOLLY; We printed the other day a letter from Fort Wayne, relating how an extensive wagon manufacturer of that city was converted from protectionism by his experience in trying to sell wagons in Mexico. He found a splendid field for his goods in

that country. As our correspondent put it "the demand was good and the price magnificent, and he was about to start a thriving trade" when he discovered that the Mexican tariff prevented him from selling his wagons to Mexicans, or the Mexicans from buying them. He con eluded, very naturally, that a protective tari3 was a humbug and straightway abandoned the republican party, became a democrat, yoted for Cleveland, and has enjoyed the blessing of a good conscience ever since. Now comes some scribbler in Fort Wayne,: calling himself "American," who expresses amazement that The Sektinil shoal I have printed the story of the wagon-man's conversion. "For," this sapient person says, "a glance will show that it proves the very reverse of what is intended to be shown." Bo, so! Softly! Our wagon manufact urer, who had supposed himself "protected1' by the tariff, found that the home market for his goods had failed him. He had facilities for making a gxd many more wagons than he could sell in the United States. The supply was greater than the demand, or, to put it more accurately, it had outrun the purchasing power Of consumers. Tens of thousands of American farmers needed new wagons, but were unable to buy them, because their earnings had been confiscated by the protected monopolies. So our manufacturer cast his eye about for an outlet for his wagons. He found one in Mexico. There was a country contiguous!to ours, practically without wagons. The farmers needed them by the thousand, and were able to pay well for them. But their government said, by its tariff laws, that they should not buy them, except under a ruinous penalty. By the same token it said to the enterprising American manufacturer that he would not be permitted to supply their needs. Here was an illustration of the practical workings of protection which could not fail to open the eyes of an intelligent man to its folly. The Fort Wayne gentleman took in the situation. lie saw that protection had not made Mex ico rich or prosperous or contented; that it had not secured eood wages for Mexican laborers, had not built np the industries of the country ; had, in fact, done nothing for it except to deprive it of those things it most needed to promote its growth and development, A man who, after such an object lesson as this, could retain his faith in the policy of protection, must be either phenomenally stupid or preternaturally bigoted. The Fort Wayne manufacturer, being neither a fool nor a bigot, was disillusioned at once. We have no doubt that if "American'' had had a like experience he would have profited nothing from it. Same people are built that way. YOUR CANDIDATE I CANNOT BE. Mr. Charles A. MuDinn Declines to ! Candidate for State Auditor, T the Editor .SV: I take this method of informing my many democratic friends that I am not a candidate for auditor of state. I am compelled to decline on account of purely business reasons. My partner in business expects to be away a portion of the year for the purpose of regaining his health. His absence will require me to devote my entire persona1 attention to the management ot our trade. Within the last three months I have anticipated such a contingency arising, and have so stated to all of the former candidates on the state ticket, to most of the members of the state central committee, ana many of tbe leading democrats of Fort Wayne, Indianapolis and elsewhere. It is gratifying to me to know that since the election of 1333 I have not met with, or heard from, a democrat within the confines of the state, who has not offered me his cordial support, to all of whom I tender my most heartfelt thanks. I feel assured, beyond the slightest doubt, tbat Indiana will give Cleveland her electoral vote, and the democratic state ticket be elected by a iargemajority. To accomplish so desirable a result, I propose, as usual to do my utmost in the coming campaign, in order that Allen county shall roll up her old time majority of 4,000 for Cleveland and the democratic ticket and thus ensure the continuance of an honest administration of puMic affairs for the people. Respectfully, Charlxr A. Munsox. Fort Wayne, March 10. MONUMENT MATTERS. A Chicago Architect Inderses the Commlsioaer' Court The Circle Park Trees. Mr. Frederick Baumann, a prominent architect of Chicago, has been in the city since Friday in consultation with Architect Schmitz, of the soldiers' monument, regarding the plans and specifications of the work. Mr. Baumann was invited by the commissioners to submit a plan for the proposed monument. He complied, . and his design was adjudged inferior to that of Mr. Schmitz. However, instead of being disgruntled, he says that the commissioners made a wise selection. Yesterday afternoon permission was granted for taking np the trees in Circle park to make room for the foundation of the monument. The larger portion of the park will be covered by the foundation and the circle of stone that will environ It. Within two weeks the commissioners expect to be ready for letting the contracts, and the work will be Immediately begun and pushed rapidly forward. The commissioners are having photographs of the monument in three sizes struck eff, which will soon be put on sals throughout the state. The entire proceeds are to go to the monument fund.

THE SURFACE-WASHER.

The above was a term of opprobrium among the '49 miners of California. Gold was sometimes found, after a hard rain, on the surface, or just below it The man who was Been, therefore, with his washing-pan only trudging about in search of euch finds was gene rally considered too lazy to use a rocker or delve down to bottom rock to find the true deposit Hence, the indolent man, the su perficial, the artificial man, was spoken of as a "surface washer." Such a man in pain gives one or two superficial rubbings with the pain cure, actually too indifferent to bring about its true effects by frictioncreating warmth. He simply washes the 6urface, and if a miracle is not performed by curing him at once, he believes there is no virtue in the preparation. If he only knew that chronic and crippled cases have been cured permanently after forty, thirty, twenty years of suflering.he would, perhaps. as these patients have done, give it an intel ligent and patient trial. But he is a "surface washer," and what he says about it is superficial nonsense. Not bo with the earnest man, who earnestly seeks a prompt relief and a certain cure ; he acts according to the directions. For instance: Two years ago Mr. John Ott, ?r.,of St. Boniface, Cambria county, Ta., was afflicted with inflammatory rheumatism iu acute form, and waa permanently cured, as he testifies in the following: 4"St. Boniface, February 11, 1887. I herewith express my kindest regards to your remedy for its great healing qualities. Two years ago I was taken to bed with inflammatory rheumatism, and got so bad that one of my legs was par alyzed and swelled up as thick as a bag, burning and paining fearfully. I could not get out of bed, nor could I move my leg or let any one touch it for all the pleasures of the world. My son advised me to apply your St. Jacobs Oil, and after two applications I was able to walk. I used half a bottle, and have not felt rheumatism since. In my estimation gold will riot compare with it. I am ready to testify take oath) to the above at any time if desired." Mr. Ott was certainly no superficial manipulator with so valued a remedy. He experienced all the pleasures of the world in his prompt and permanent cure; and to such a patient who followed directions strictly, and was relieved of torture, gold will truly not compare with his estimation of its beneficence. veritable fai'y land of plants aid liwers and electric light.

ter his fences and endeavoring to get them in gocd shape that he may present a solid front at least so far as this district is concerned , in the coming state convention. His claims to the nomination are of the convincing sort and he does not hesitate to put them in the strongest possible manner. In conversation with a few friends a day or so ago, he stated that his party owed him the nomination for governor. In fact he said, giving him tneiomination was the only way in which they could make any pretense of upholding the position taken by the republicans last winter. These are about the colonel's own words and in conclusion, he added that: "If I am not nominated it will be an acknowledgement that not only was I wrong in seeking to assert my claims to preside over the senate in place of Green Smith, but the party and party organs were wrong lu insisting upon me doing so, and in backing my efforts. This would strike one as a rather clear statement of the facts in the case. II might also appear that there would be some difficulty in persuading the colonel that he is wrong in the phase he puts upon the matter. Oi course there is scarcely a possibility of his securing the nomination. In fact he will not be able to get a full delegation from this county. He is being bitterly fought by strong men within his own ranks. Scott Swan is traveling over the country doing his utmost to undo whatever is accomplished by the colonel, and seems to succeed remarkably well. There is an old feeling between these two gentlemen, originating years ago through Col. Robertson s prosecution of Scott in a killing case, and time and circumstances have only Berved to widen the breach. From the Aurora (111) Beacon, Jan. 11, 1S3. Geo. E. Brown & Co. announce that it has been decided to close the present partnership under which they have been doing a most successful business for many years. The "Co.," Mr. Chas. A. Brown of Portland, Me., finding his large manufacturing ir ter est in the Esst requiring his undivided attention, and the managing partner, Geo. . Brown, not caring to continue the busiaess on the immense Bcale the firm has been doing; they have decided to close ou: the large stock by April 1st; and to this end will quote very attractive prices intending; buyers. This firm is too weil known to our readers to require extended comment from us. When it is considered that at the time Geo. E. Brown commenced this business fourteen years ago, Cleveland Bay and Eaglish Shire horses and Holstein cattle were scarcely kDown in this country; that when locating at Elgin in 1375, one car-load constituted his entire ttock in trade; and that now the stables and yards of this farm occupy more than 10 acres of ground, and 800 acres ot rich prairie afford but little more than pasture for their breeding and growing stock, it will readily be conceded that their selections must have been of the best, and tbat these now popular breeds have supplied a decided want in this country. Were anything further necessary to emphasize the success of Messrs. Brown Si Co., it is found in the fact that their stock has always been at the front when exhibited at agricultural fairs, and in several instances nearly swept the board of prizes in spite of the strongest competition. Shrewd buyers wanting first-class stock will not let this opportunity to supply themselves go by. We advise them to send at once for illustrated pamphlet and full particulars.

De Foe Skinner's View. I Chicago Times. I D. F. Skinner of Valparaiso, Ind., In at tendance at the meeting of the democratic association of the norihwestat the Palmer, spoke very enthusiastically of Governor Gray's chances for the vice-presidency. He aeclared that the Indiana delegation would go to St Louis and vote for him to a man. His careful and business-lite administration had made tbe people of the Hoosier state confident that he would be selected for the second place on the ticket. The state is now beiDg thoroughly canvassed, and the result of the polling thus far indicates that the democratic majority will be the largest given in years should the governor be nominated. He is regarded by ii any astute Indiana politicians as being more popular than was the late and lamented Thomas A. Hendricks, which is saying a great deal. Mr. Skinner raid further that the democracy of Indiana was never ia better lighting shape than It is at present The work of organization has been going on rapidly since the meeting of the state committee at Indianapolis, and will soon be perfected. The farmers are eaerly devouring every bit of information they can lay their hands on concerning the matter ot tariff reform. Just before the hear fixed for the hang ing of Twiletcn Steele, colored, at Mont-gon-f ry, Ala., the governor commu'ed his er tei.ee to imprisonment for life. He kül.d a negro woman a year ago and cmned the body. He claimed the tilling kr eccidental, and that the body was burned through fear. the year to purify the blood, invigorate the sjBtem, excite the liver to action, and reinrnhcftlthv tone and timr to the whole physical mechanism.
