To TiiR Editor Sir: Here find Pa-ran Bob "talking milleniuru" for all he is wert h. H can see it a-eorrtin", or, as the colored orator "He looks Lackward into the dark future, and tu'kts in tbe whole situation at a glance." Our "I'ruiny liob" would fain bo a prophet in this enlightened nineteenth century. Anv gruluate or school boy acquainted with history can see that the world has Wen progressing; that truth is gaining prouni. and that error is f:t.t receding. Truth is mighty and will prevail. It requires no great learning to see this after it ha3 all happened. It is the Fame Old "I to! 1 you so. It" Col. Irv-i-rsoll will take that '-look of looks," which he so often ridicules, he will find that the prophets and seers of old prophesied just this condition of ihir thousands of vear mjro, ami at a time when the wond was practically at a standstill, wrapped in tbe darkness oi sin, and yet thee-e inspired, holy men of tho past "could see through the clouds and gloom tbe dawning of a bette? day for the human race. Hear what Mit ah says in tho fourth chapter, verses 3-5: And lie shall judge nmone many people and rebuke strong nations a:ar oil; and they shall beat their swords into plow-bhares and their epeam lato prunnin-hooks; nation hall not lift p a aword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more, lint thev sitnll sit every man under hi vine nnd tinder his fii;tree; and none hall mke them ntraid. For the mouth of the Lord of host liatli spoken it Now as the (Jr.) lie v. Dob agrees with the bible for once, let us Pee what he would do to brir. ..out this "perfect ororld," as he depicts. In tho first place, Kobert believes, heart and bouI ( ?), in the republican party; it is his idol, and, according to his late eulogy, it is all perfection itself. Tbe platform suits Ki.n exactly; why should it not? Let the republican party have their Injrersoll; they will ceed hira as badly as he was needed by tho star-routers. It will take all the brains, all the eloquence with which he is gifted to Epeak the prai.se of the g. o. p., to keeping tKM'ore the people the good work accomplished by it in the past, in order to over up Its present proposed wickedness The republican party having lud this country under its "protection" for a quarter of a century, let us fee what process the people, z. a whole, have made. I fpeak only of the protection policy, as it is proposed by. Mr. Ingersoli's party, to still further continue it. The great infidel should cast his prophetic eyes backward for twenty-live years and ask hirnseif a few questions: In this country, where kings are never born (therefore never have an opportunity to perish), do we find it rilled with happy homes, of contented people t Does he Bee no beggar, no tramps? Do work and worth go hand in hand? Is the poor girl who is trying to earn her bread with a needle not driven to Fhame or euicide? Is the aristocracy of idleness perishing at any great rate, or at all ? Have we no slaves, white or black? Has slavery been abolished? Were it not better ior many of our people to-day were they the property of others and well provided for, than to be forced to hunt work at starvation wares? At this raU; how lonar, oh Lord, how lone wiil it be before "man is free at last?" If any of nature's forces have by science been ens!a-ed, what good has it dona the masses of tbe people? Is it not still a battle for bread, worse, if anything, and mere terrible than twenty-rive years ago? Are we not the same tireless toilers? 13 disease of flesh and brain becoming less or is it on the increase? In short, are we progressing at all in the direction of that "vision of the future?" How many more years of protection must we be blessed with before we may able to get a glimpse of the dawn of "that better day," or before we have a reicm of peace, of joy, of plenty? Mr. Ingersoll claims to be an honest man and" he can give but one answer: We have made very little, if any, progress ! He knows that the condition of the masses of the American people to-dav, the wage-workers (proper name, wealthproducers , is not such as it would be if "work and worth went hand in hand." He knows full well that labor, which is the creator of all wealth, even of capital itcelf, is to-day the slave of capital aad monopoly. Our modern infi lei believes in the doctrine of the "survival of the fittest;" how does he account for tho present condition of the bread-winner, if all thiucrs are created by labor aal capital, capital beins? perfectly helpless without labor, why is not labor uppermost at present, or at least the equal of capital ? Is this condition in which we find labor o-dav the result of justice, of which we bear Ingersoll prate so much? Or have we "protected" capital alone from foreign competition and allowed "free trade" in labor? Have we practiced the doctrine of equal rights to all, or have we taxed (protected?) the many for the benefit of a few ? Have we on the one hand given men the tiered liberty to compete with and Rainst one another for their daily bread, and on the other hand compelled them to bnv highly protected (taxed) necessities of life ? If we had been without the wonderful (rift from heaven, this blessed tariff, for the last twenty-five years, we might lay the present condition of the masse" at the door of the horrible, horrid, terrible bujr-a-boo free traffic I should My free trade; it sounds much more terrible that way. Jiut at the end of a quarter of a century we find a prettv bad täte of affairs, and Mr. Ingersofl and his part would keep rieht on. Simply this and nothing more; they propose to keep riyht n with this ystera of " protection " (which is nothing more than taxation; legalized robbery is better), and in order toetill better Lasten it upon the country they would repeal all international taxes. See Chicago platform. This would Kive is nothing more nor less than free whis

ky and tobacco, and therefore "promote temperance and morality." See annex to Chicago platform. Tho eternal star ox human hope, which is now only glimmerinfr, would "shine more brightly in the great dome," in the poetic language of the American skeptic, from that time on. All I can learn from his euloyy of the the republican party is this: fctand by the pr. o. p. and everything will be lovely in the sweet by-and-bye. They propose no relief ; they give tho people no hope for the future, and yet ask them to blindly follow, aa does IL G. IngerrolL And yet why wonder that the author of tho "Mistakes of Moses" should still follow the party which has ceased to be a procrt'ssi ve one ? As ho is (according to the ministers of the gospel) utterly devoid of "that lijrht which comes from on high," why should he not, in his blindness, follow that party which to-day is utterly blind to tho conditions of the people. "Let the blind lead the blind and they will both fall into the nit" at least we are constAntly being reminded that Robert is on the way to the "pit," even though he doesn't bvlieve it himself. It U aid that Robert is in favor of protection ; as even a small reduction as the Mills bill proposes, would put bibles on the free Ii.t, and this would certainly ruin Insrersoll s infaut industry. Hut what about our progressive christian people : what do they think of the ?itnntiou? How would they change it? Will they keep right on with our present eyetein, or would thev take another path? "Our Lord and Master has warned U3 when he paid: "Ve t-hall know tbe tree by the fruits thereof." What are the fruits of our present system ? Immense riches on one uand ; great poverty on the other. Ju;t thj tarne conditions as our Lord found them Dives on one hand; Lazarus on the other. Are these not the fruhs of an unjust system? Would it ha so were there justice between man and man? Justice, Mr. Ingersoll, is nothing lefs than justice itself. "The people cry for bread, tor the necessities ot life. The party of ingei"3oll offers them a serpent in "the shape of free whisky and call it protection. "Woo unto them that call good evil and evil things cood." When Christ came to prpach the brotherhood of man ard the fatherhood of God, did He intend that a condition of things as was esistinz at that time should continue bo? Where is there a bible reader who believes that it was the will of Christ thut there should always be a btruggle for riches and giin on one hand and a scramble for bread on the other? Did lie not preach equal rights to all? Was Fie not always on the side of the poor and opprt ssed? Hi9torrio.e denunciations of woes pronounced ngiinst the lawyers of his day was meant not only for them but for men ot all times as well, who, knowing the way to better the conditions of the masses and lighten the burdens of the people, refuse to do fo. "Woe unto you alo ye lawyers, for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your ringers." St. Luke xi, 46. What would Ho fcay of the republican party to-day, who knowing full well that people are overburdened with taxes, are oliering them free whisky and tobacco! How does Christ's teachings "that all men are brothers," "love your neighbor," "the Golden l!u!e," compare will Cob Iititcrsoil' little trl tho republican party? It is practically this: Hate your Uritih, German and French brothers" have nothing to do with thorn, or as little as possible. No tr.i'le wanted with christian countries. Put up a Chiaose wall if necessary to ke.-o out their goods. Protect oarself 3-a!r.:-t what? Smallpox, yellow fever, etc.? No; necessaries ot life. How dearly we are paying tor Ingersoll's religion, we all know. This protection which we are enjoying is but a remnant ot barbarianUtn. The Chinese protected themselves, more thoroughly than we are doing, at one time by keeping out not only foreign products, but foreigners themselves, and alio wing no labor-saving machinery to be intro disced. This was protection with a vengeance. What would tho heathen think of a missionary, who, after preaching to them

the gospel of the brotherhood of man, that he has been sent by their white brothers, and alter he had" accomplished it, would advise them to protect themselves against these christians. For if you do not, thev will deluge you with cheap bibles, clothes and other things, and it will only be a question of time when you will be the most unhappy people, yes more than that, you will degenerate into a state o"f barbarism as bad as before I come to you? I ask azain, what would they think of this missionary? And yes we enlightened people are told more absurd things than these. We are told that no matter how bard we might work, how rich our mines might be, how inventive and ingenious we might be, no matter how rich our crops were, it would all avail us nothing, were it not for the blessed tariff we might as well lay down and turn our toes to the daisies forever! Probably some great modern prophet like Ir.gersoll would then be driven to the necessity of praying for a wall of fire to separate us from our foreign brothers, as a substitute for a tariff wall. In concluding, I would ask: Why are our pulpite so quiet on the burning questions of the day? As one of your exchanges remarked some time ago, "Had the democratic party, the ru?n, Komanism and rebellion party, declared in favor cf free whisky, what would not some of our republican" ministers have said about it?" l'.ut as it is the "God and morality party," the "party of mora! ideas" which has made this monstrous proiosition, they must be bandied with kid-gloves. Are these disciples of Christ afraid to speak the truth? Pel haps we. will hear from them be io re the campaign is over; they may yet awaken to the necessities of the occasion, hut we need have no fear of the outcome. "Truth is mighty," "trutb and justice go hand in hand." The republican party is on the road to destruction. When one leads the Chicago platform the old saying comes more vividly to mind than ever: "Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad." A Cleveland Reptblican. Indianapolis, Aug. 31.

EXPEUTS TALK FREE WOOL

VIEWS OF COLORADO RANCHMEN. Tho Afeanrdlrr of the IIowl Against Int. tint Wool on tho l'roo Llftt Pointed Out by Some of the Greatest Sheep Grow, era la the Country. Desvct, Col., Sept. 3. Special. The Rocky Mountain Xeu- is the oldest and most influential paper west of the Missouri river. Until tbe St. Louis convention it belonged to the New York Sim and Cincinnati Enquirer class of alleged democratic papers. Since then, and especially sinco the Chicago whisky platform was adopted, it has been a 6tanch advocate of Cleveland's re-election and tariff reduction. Published at tbe wool center of the West, it is naturally solicitious for tho welfare of tho wool industry and lately detailed its range editor to investigate tho effect the Mills bill would have upon one of Colorado's main interests. lie interviewed tho woolgrowers and dealers from a business view of the question. In summing; up the result of this investigation, tho Xcwt comes out emphatically in favor of free woof, believing that the miners would get better and cneaper blank ?ts and cloth in tr, and that the wool-growing industry would not bo disturbed. This investigation I wish tho few wool-jrrowers. the manufacturers and consumers of Indiana oould read, nncl I clip froru the Ai'ir-j the statements of tho four largest dealers in Colorado, who demonstrate conclusively that feee wool Will give the consumers better and cheaper cloths. Will benefit tho manufacturers. Will not injure tho wool-growing industry. That America cannot produce a fine grade of wool, and manufacturers must injort to make all the fine cloth. "A vote for wool protection is a vote for the privilege of wearing shoddy." Forty percent, of all wool manufactured in America must be imported regardless of home production or taritf. Dealers combined to depress the market, pending the Mills bill. Immediately after the passage of the Mills bill wool went up several cents. Wool has a better market and sells several cents higher this year than last year, when there was no "howl of free-trade." The wool industry is increasing west of the Missouri, and that it is not profitable to grow wool on valuable lands, wbe'her under free wool or protection, Mr. J. L. Brown, one of the largest dealers in wool in the state, said: "The wool industry of Colorado and the Vestis6tcadily increasing from year to year. Of course when the tarili" was lowered aud the present Agitation has reached the point it has, a few docks were reduced in numbers hy flighty own, who thipitnl tcoof, muti'hx and all to Chicago; but this has been a splendid vear for lambs, and the vacancy made has been more than filled np, and the number of sheep now in Colorado is greater than ever before. There were about 4,500,000 pouuds in the clip for 1 867, and it was sold at nn average price of 11 cents per pound. The clip lor 1SSS will average lo" cents. It will be seen, therefore, with a large increase of sheep, with cleaner wool and much better prices there is no cause for trruniblin.' Mr. Frank G. Willard, an extensive dealer who bss been in the wool business in Colorado for the past tifteen years, spoke at length on the situation of the wool industry in Colorado at the present time. His words will he food for tuought tor those interested. He said: "1 Lave tried to keep abreast of the times and the pituation on the wool question, as wool is my business and has been for the past tifteen vears. The ttriif, tree wool and the prcs-.-nt administration are charged solely with the present condition of the wool trade. An unbiased look at the industrial and commercial facts in the case will not carry out the allegation. Four vears ago when Mr. Cleveland stopped into the presidential chair wool was a scarce article and sold for 15 cents per pound. The year following was a better year; wool was more plentiful and of e better quality and readily 6old from 17 to 18 cents per pound. Last year was another eff year and wool sold down as low as 8 cents and as high as 11 cents, according to the condition of low grade wool. This year is better and low grade brings 13 cents, with the better grades on up to lß cents. "Now, throwing aside all political or partisan feeling and viewing the situation from purely a buiner9 point of view it is my candid opinion that tl.s country v. ill be better of uith free wool. You must strike right at the root of an industry if you would hope to better or injure it, and the matter is settled on but one issue with the wool industry as with all industries supply and demand. With free wool the demand will naturally be greater. A jimt-clats wit of clotfics cannot be made of American wool; ue do not grow the rcool and therefore cannot hxake the cloth. When you go to a tailor shop and want a good suit of clothes, you lind that the cloth is imported; it is made from either New Zealand or Australian wool. "Is it not, therefore, patent on tho face of the issue that if we let foreign wool in without having to pay or -10 cents duty that we will have better goods made cheaper and there will bo a demand accordingly? And is it not tno natural sequence under all circumstances that the price, is always regulated by the demand?" Mr. Willard warmed tip to bis theme and continued hisc mvincing argument as follows: "American wool will always have its market; there will always be, äs there always has been, ready sale for every pound that is raised at a market value quite equal to its worth. Foreign wool will always have its market; it is a higher and better grade and will in the future, as it always has in the past, a different field in the commercial world. The American consumer who wants a suit of fine clothes one that is serviceable as well as ornamental will wear it whether ho pays more for a suit or not. "Any candid man can readily see the absurdity of the howl against free wool. The poorer classes might have a better opportunity to wear a better suit of clothes with free wool, for v:b.en thty vole for protrcti'on on wool Viry vote for the. privilege of continuing to war Awriran tho(1y. You never hear of a glut in the wool market, do you? You never hear of the market being overstocked? And as a;t example of this fact every pound of wool raised in Colorado this year has been marketed right in our own state. No one had to take a trip east to find a sale. The local markets of Denver alone have handled nearly every pound of It, and will undoubtedly handle it all. "I do not want to overlook one feature of the American wool industry, and that is the Ohio wool, which is always at a premium at least is a better wöol and demands a much better price than our western, or what is known as territorial wool. The Ohio is, or more properly was, the '.Saxony cross,' which is tho nearest approach to foreign wool raised in this country, lint the clip is gradually diminishing; the sheep are being bred out and the old standard is not being kept up or replenished, hence the strain will Eoon bo a thing of the past and the grade no better than other wool. "Another well known drawback to American wool is the soilless and generally 6andy condition of our country, Every fiber of wooi has on it little shoots or 'feathers,' which can be 6een with a microscope. Thete invisible fibers are

what gives tho wool that toft, fleecy texture when grown on grass. But tho eandy soil gets into tho fleece and every movement made by a sheep naturally keeps the grit working with a fri tio in the wool until the wool virtually wears off on the sheep's back, leaving nothing but the stiff, coarse, flattened and uneven hair for wool. These are tho natural conditions of the country which tend to make our wool the quality that it is, and nothing but the will of Providence, by miraculous execution, could change the condition of things for the betterment of the wool indnstry of America. "In conclusion I would 6ay that I do not think that wool could be raised profitably for any less money than it is to-day, ami I candidly think that the outlook "is favorable. This being a presidential year, all business is dull this being thocao in all presidential years. Wool ' has fluctuated during Mr. Cleveland's administration, just as it has during every other administration, and I cannot see" where he has injured tho industry in the least. I know I expect to remain in tho wool business, regardless of who is elected president, and 1 am quite sure I will handle just as much wocl, if not more, on account of the growing business, with as good proiii ns I ever did befor?." "They who vote for protection on wool vote for the privilege of continuing to wear American shoddy," bear in mind, is the statement of one who has devoted fifteen years exclusively to the wool business, who has thousands of dollars invested, in warehouse in Denver and owns a lanre flock ot eraded sheep on his ranch, all of which will be wined outof existence with Cleveland's re-election -so Mythe Jay-GouU-pnh!ic-be-d d-Depew-Carnegio monopoly pre??. E. E. Snow, of the Denver wool scouring works and warehouse., the largest concern of the kind in the state and a heavy factor in the wool industry, said: "While the wool btiiness is not what might be termed rushimr, we havs about all we can handle ami take care of.': "How does the business this vear compare with that Of 17?" was as"ked. "Well, wo had no market at all last year, and about twelve million pounds of wool were shipped to the eastern markets and eold for 10 cents a pound. This year every pound is sold right at home for from 13 to 15 cents a pound, which is a very flattering ditferenec in the price, to say nothing of the saving on the freights." "Is the wool industry increasing or is it on the decline?" "Increasing, sir, by a very large majority. There never has been any actual decrease in the state only from natural commercial causes. On the other hand I have noticed the increase from year to year, right along. lean tell this ery easily by buying the same man's clip from year to year. "This was an unprecedented year for lambs, which would indicate a bright outlook for the future." "What is your opinion of the Mills bill ?" was asked. After bouio hesitancy, Mr. Pnow said: "In my business I do not care to discuss politics or probable or possible political futures.'' "Throwing politics entirely out of th question, do you think that the putting of foreign wool ou the free list would be detrimental to your business; that it would be a damaging blow to the home industrv?" was asked. "Not in the K-ast ; I do not think that free wool would affect me or any other man engaged in tho wool industry in this country, unless it would be for our betterment." "Will you please state your reasons?" "Well, thero will be möre competition, which will naturally improve prices. Foreign wool is or a "better quality and once the general demand is m ido for it it will bring native wool up with it. Th re Is always a market for our grada of wool, so l think there could be no danger of being crowd.-d out. Some merchants may discount it. but I do not think it will hurt anybody if it becomes a law. But, as I said before, I do not care to take any stand on the political titirtion. What I have said i3 with the candor of my sober judgment viewing the situation from an unprejudiced standpoint." Mr. Snow has spent thousands of dollars in building a huge warehouse to 6tore wool. Since the president's message and the introduction of the Mills bill he invested many more thousand dollars to build and purchass machinery for a wool scouring factory which scoured 3,000,000 pounds of wool this year. Mr. Snow has devoted his business life to the wool trade and expects to continue tho same with free wool. Mr. II. Halthonscn of Colorado Springs, the largest wool dealer, and who handles sir times as much wool as any dealer in the state of Colorado, was next seen. The gentleman is a protectionist in his speech, but he did not force a very strong argument against free wool. He said: "F rce troot wotJd mean that the manufacbircr would be benefited, but I cannot see where the consumer is going to receive any benefit. I am not a wool-erower ; I simnlv buy and seil the product! I think the idea of free wool is inconsistent, but I can buy and eil wool whether we have free trade or protection. I ship wool to eastern markets, principally to Boston, the largest wool market in the country, and to Philadelphia." Speaking of foreign wool, tbe gentleman continued: "There is one thiug about foreign wool sent to America that that the American grower could copy with profit. Only the 'heart' of tho fleece is sent to our shores. I mean by that that the 'belly' and 'skirts' wool, which is inferior to that on the back of the animal, is kept at home. Thus they only pav freight and duty on a high grade of wool.'' Notwithstanding that Mr. Ilalthousen is an old time bloody shirt republican, he freely admits that "free wool means that manufacturers would be benefited," and although he thinks free wool "inconsistent," he "can buy and sell wool whether we have free trade (in wool) or protection." Ot course he knows, as a business man, that there will be as much wool grown and the market will be as good, if not better, with wool on the free list as on the tax schedule. I am informed by a reliable and extensive wool dealer that Mr. Ilalthousen purchased 1,000,00J pounds of wool when the Mills bill was pending, which he held till till its passage, when wool took an upward turn of '2 to 7 cents, and that he realized a small fortune from this deal. Thero was a sympathetic "leaning" of the market by wool dealers pending the passage of thb Mills bill. They issued weekly circularletters reviewing (?) the trade, of which the following, by tho firm of Hagey & Wilhelm of St. Louis is a sample: We cannot not hope for higher prices under any circumstances, as the heavy cargoes of for enn woo't how in the fabuard markets, in bond, will he held until some action is taken on the tariffbill, or until congress adjourns; then the owners will rush to sell, and ns tho stocks owned by them are immense, and stored in anticipation of free wool, they will not lose any money under the present tariff, but make handsome profits if the tarili bill is passed making wool lree of duty, and the sale of these wools will prevent any advance iu prices of the American clip. The republican papers gave them wide circulation as the best argument that Cleveland and a democratic congress were ruining the country. I f howed by a former letter how it scared the producer's who read too many republican papers, and who hurried to dispose of their clip before the passage of the Mills bill when those "heavy cargoes of foreign wool in bond were to delugo our markets with foreign wool," and, as Mr. Brown

6ays, tho "Might v ones shipped wool, mutton and all to Chicago." The aequisitioa of largo flocks of sheep upon tho free ranges, through natural increase and the possession of a big bank account, does not necessarily give a man additional brain or import alcnowledge of our legislative system, and many who count their sheep by the thousand expected the Mills bill would take effect immediately upon its passage by the house. A few days ago I met a ranchman possessing 10,000 sheep and a bank account that would make an average Hoosier feel like Jay Gould, who was under the impression that the Mills bill was already in force. He is solid for Harrison. Many of those "American protection wool-growers" are Englishmen unnaturalized who imagine that our senate (beg Eardon, I mean tho millionaire's senate) olds the same relation to the house of representatives that their house of lords hoid to the house of commons an ornamental, useless lody, which docs not disapprove any measures passed by tbe house. At tho Furamer resorts of Colorado I have met many wool manufacturers from New England states. I have interviewed them upon the subject of free wool, and in a future letter will give TnE Sentinel the business statements made by these practical men, that 40 per cent." of the goods manufactured by them must be with imported wool, because we cannot grow fino wool in this country; and upon this point I clip from the Field and Farm of Colorado, whoso editor is a republican, the following: Said an eminent manufacturer of broadcloths in Massachusetts to us the other day: "Our finest wools hare to be imported. They do not crow in America. And if there was nö trick whereby they could escape fall duty we should hare to Mop inanuiaeturin:r the tiner goods and let England have the fii-M to itself. Wc could not make the finest broadcloths etrWiy on American wool. Neither could we niukc it ami pay 4L) cents a pound duty, ns the law contemplates. In tha past few years by the trk'ks in the importing business we hare paid but 10 cents pr pound on these tine Australian wools. I lms we have been able to keep our looms moving." If American manufacturers could but import tho fine grades as "common" wool, they would have to slop their looms and leave tho field to England. The quality of cloths that Mr. Harrison and Mr. Blaine wear cannot be made out of American wool, and when Mr. Harrison stands before the visiting farmers of Indiana, extolling the beauties of protection and that .narrow doctrine of "American markets for American farmers," he does so clothed from head to foot with goods made oat of wool grown in Australia and probably manufactured in free-trade England. But they will shake his hand, go home, and "vote for the privilege of continuing to wear American shoddv." p. if. r.

JOHN Q. ADAMS ON THE TARIFF. What lie Said In the speech of 1832, Quoted by Judge Thurman. Vcrhatlm Italics are Mr. Adams'. The doctrine, that duties of import cheapen tho price of the articles upon which they are levied, wems to conflict with the first dictates of common eense. But its supporters first appeal with confidence to the fact that most of the articles upon which additional duties were levied by the tariff of have, since that time, considerably fallen in price and then they argue that it must be SO, by the excitement of competition in the market. It is certainly contrary to the natural course of things, that an addition to the cost should be a reduction of the price of an article. True it is, that the duty gives a hpur to the production of tho article at home. The price of an article in the market must always depend upon the relative condition of the demand and supply at the time and place of sale. But very slight variations of time or place, affect often, to a very great extent, the relative proportion of the demand and eupply, and, consequently, the price of the article. No safe conclusion can be drawn from the fact that subsequent to the tarili of 1S-2S, the prices of the articles upon which the duties were then increased, have fallen, unless from other circumstances it can be shown that the increase of the duty was the cause of the fall in prices, nor will it be sufiicint, to prove so strange a paradox, to account for it by the excitement of competition. Wherever there is a profitable market, there will be competition. Had the taritf of 182S never been enacted, the competition in our markets would have been as great, and would have been as effectual to reduce the prices, as it has been with the aggravation of daties. In that competition our own manufacturers might not indeed have shared but it would have existed in all its force between those who furnish the supply, and could not have failed to reduce the prices to the level of the moderate; profit necessary to the existence of the trade. But the duty upon the article imported from abroad enabled the domestic producer to enter into competition with'the importer from abroad. So long as this competition continues, the duty operates as a bounty or premium to the domestic manufacturer. But by whom is it paid? Certainly by the purchaser of the article, whether of "foreign or of domestic manufacture. The duty constitutes a part of the price of the whole mass of the article in the market. It is substantially paid upon that of foreign production. Lpon one it is a lounty ; upon the other a burden ; and the repeal of the tax must operate as an equivalent reduction of the price of the article, whether foreign or domestic. We say, so long as the importation continues, the duty must be paid by tho purchaser of the article. Some portion of it, however, is, for a short interval of time, paid by the foreigner against whose trade the domestic competitor is brought forward. It affects hira as a reduction of his profits, which ho endures for a time, but under the pressure of which he is finally compelled to withdraw from the market. While this struggle continues the duty is paid by the foreigner, or by the importing merchant here. The purchaser and consumer here are relieved from the burden of the duty, and may, perhaps, obtain tho goods cheaper than if they were exonerated from the dutv altogether. But this relief i3 purchased by injustice, at the expense not only oi the foreign manufacturer, but of the importing merchant, till the duty becomes prohibitory, and then the foreign manufacturer, fho importing merchant, the shipper, the manner, and the whole class of citizens to whom the importation gave occupation and subsistence, suff.-r from tho extinction of trade, precisely to the same extent that the profits of" the domestic manufacturer are enhanced by tho bounty paid to him for his competition with tho foreigner. This struggle, if the statements often made by the friends of the tariff are correct, is sometimes carried on by the manufacturers to a very extravagant and desperate extent. It has even gravely been asserted, that, upon the passage of the tariff act of 1S'J8, the British owners of forges anl furnaces reduced the price ot their iron not less than $3 a ton, to retain control of the American market, an operation by which, as has leen shown by tho memorial of the free trade convention to congress, they must have incurred a loss of near fivo "millions of dollars a year, to retain the profits upon yearly rates to the amount of perhaps $2(i0.00ö. It is very certain, therelore, that the reduction of S3 a ton upon tho price of British iron iu 1S28, though contemporaneous with our tariff act, was in no wise connected w ith it in tho relation of cause and

effect. We may, and probably do, often greatly exaggerate to ourselves the immensity of exertions and of sacrifices made by the British manufacturers to retain and preserve in their own hands tho control f foreign markets. But that such exertions and sacrifices are fnd will be made by larger manufacturing establishments in which extensive capitals are employed cannot be doubted. Whenever they are made, and so long as they continued to counteract the effects of tariff duties in foreign countries, the duties are paid bv them, and tho purchaser of the goods in the foreign country obtains them freed from the duty at the expense of the foreign manufacturer. But this career of losing trade, cannot continue long. In the competition between different lines of steamboats and sta?e, we have sometimes seen the rival interests underbidding each other, till the traveler has been treated gratuitously w ith his fare. But the result even of a very short contest of that nature proves utterly ruinous to one, if not to both the contending establishments. And so it is, and must b? with any reduction of price in the market upon articles furnished partly by importation, and partly by domestic industry, which ensues upon tho levy ot an additional duty upon tbe article imported from abroad. The incidental effect of competition in tho market, excited on the part of the domestic manufacturer by tho aggravation of duty upon the corresponding article imported nom abroad, to reduce the price of the article, must bo transient and momentary. Tho general and permanent effect must be to increase the prico of the article to the extent of the additional duty, and it is hen paid by the consumer. If it were not to if the general effect of adding to the duty were to make the price of tho article upon which it is levied less the converse of the proposition would also be true; and the operation of increasine the price of tho domestic article would be to repeal the duty upon the same article in i ported an experiment which the friends of our internal industry will not be desirous of making. We cannot subscribe, therefore, to the doctrine that tho duties of impost protective of our own manufacturers are paid by the foreign merchant or manufacturer. Nor can wo more readily believe that they arc paid by the purchaser of the art ic'es exported from our country to pay for the importations which we receive iii return. HE KNOWS HOVEY. And Although lie Was a Soldier Can't Sopport Him. To the Editor Sir: I must congratulate the democracy of the state and nation (with a big N) on the able and dignified manner in which TnE Sentinel is now conducted. It is really the most refreshing and delicious diet that one can take to read the aggressive editorials that appear from day to day. When I read one of your editorials attacking tho Journal 1 take up that paper to see what reply it will make. Its refuge seems to be, "say nothing," or abandon that position for one cquallv untenable. Gen. A. TP. Ilovoy stated in an interview at Cincinnati that tho soldiers of Indiana would elect him and the whole republican ticket The general was never more mistaken in his liie. The soldier vote of Indiana does not belong to the republican party. The leaders of the republican party have claimed that thej own the soldiers, and that they, like the negroes, could be driven to the polls and made to cast their votes for the g. o. p. Rut they will not do it this year. The soldiers and the majority cd' the colored people, are readine aud studying the questions that are before the people for adjustment, and will vote with their eyes open this year. I speak "from a soldier standpoint. I was, or tried to be, a faithful soldier for three vcars, in the Twenty-third armv corps, Third division, and in Gen. Jack Casement's brigade. I cannot vote for Gen. Hovev. I know him well. A more unnpproachablo and imperious man does not live. That was his conduct and line of action before be became a candidate. He never indicated that he had any interest in soldiers, or made any effort to secure them bounties, pensions, or anything else, until he saw a chance to get an office. He never belonged to a Grand army post, and never attended the state or national encampment. I Appeal to any leading Grand array man of Indiana, if he ever saw Gen. Hovey at a state encampment, I also know Judge Edson. We were school-boys together. He is one of the leading lawyers of Mt Vernon, ot unbounded influence, a man of eminent ability and unimpenchab'e character. Iiis action in refusing to support Gen. Hovey and the republican ticket is very generally indorsed by the people of Toey county, who know the facts as to Judge Edson's betrayal by the Harrison gang at the last republican convention. Gen. Hovey will be the worst defeated man that ever ran on the republican ticket for governor. George W. Hill. Indianapolis, Sept. 6. DUDLEY'S CHEEK

As Illustrated by Circulars fie it Sending to Pensioners. To TiTE Editor Sir: One W. W. Dudley of Washington, D. C, has been mailing circulars to old soldiers in Vigo county stating that they have good claims for pensions, or, if already drawing pensions, that they are rated too low, end are entitled to an increase, and, at the same time, offering them the benefit of his valuable experience obtained while commissioner of pensions. Now, he has cither fanned out his own "good name and reputation" (?) to some pension agent at Washington, or is trying to get into correspondence with pensioners in order to work a political scheme of some kind. Several cf his circulars have been received by soldiers whose claims he "vetoed" or rejected immediately after the last presidential election, and, in many cases, before they had a chance to file their te?ti:nony or be examined to ascertain if disabled, as alleged. Many of these vetoed or rejected claims have" been revived and allowed by tho de moerat it ad in i n i st rat i on. Thousands of meritorious claims were thus rejected by him without giving the apnlicants an opportunity to present their evidence. During his rommisMonership he granted many pensions at from to S4 per month when the testimony on file showed that thev wereentitledto a higher rating. But the democratic administration has corrected this gross injustice in thousands of cases by increasing the rates per month and in many cases allowing pensioners a re-rating when the evidence on file showed that Dudley had not rated them according to the "evidence. Is it not, then, a little cheeky for such a man to call upon pensioners to employ hini as attorney to procure their just rights which he refused to allow them as a public officer? Picket.
