Sentiment of the New England pianufactnrer, “Tariff for me Only.” A Business Men’s Association, composed of our best citizens, could forever eradicate that ill feeling that exists between the town and counliy. ; The New York Assembly has passed a resolution by a vote of 66 to 44 to jsnbn i to the vote of the people a prohibition eostitutional amendment.

Who bought experience any dearer Ilian the jvoor man whose farm was mortgaged in an eastern loan company and finally sold and his wile and children throwu out doors ? The poor fellow became a Democrat immediately, but it was too late. Auft many 'men are becoming Democrats loo late for their own good. . It is time you who read this were studying political econemy instead of nursing a political prejudice against a party that is the only friend a poor man has ill tids country. ■When you meditate upon the kind of tax you pay when you pay tor goods that would he sold cheaper were there not so high a tariif on them, you should think for a moment how our high tax originated. You will find that it is not asoldas a middle aged man, and that it was at first levied a* a war measure; aud,~when it was first assessed, it was argued Jhat this tax would not be kept up Jogger than (lie necessities of the government demanded it. lias such been the case ? If we soe right it lias not. A few men have been made rich by this tax, and they keep it up by the influence of their wealth upon ihc law-makers of the land. The only hope for the masses is to vote pgaiast such methods.

• 'l’nr. people of the United State* are jeverv day awakening more anil more to their own interests. They are fast finding out that there Is something seriously the matter with them, and many of them, having had a few object lessons, are falling in with the idea of the Democratic part)', that our tariff needs revising. Whcu quinine was put on the free-list it became much cheaper and remains so. When, a few days ago, the Republicans put hides on the tariff list (another outrage) the manufacturers of flic country simply informed the committee on Tariff that they would have to sell shoes so much higher than heretofore that the g. o. p. would suffer for its infamy, and iiides were put bach on the free list. Strange things happen. Don’t they? No, we do not want vo go back to pid-tiine custqjns. That is not what pif argument agjfin$t this thieving tariff mean4. The men who pretend such a'thing want only to deceive the rotors of the couutry ; and, sad but frue, they sometimes succeed in doing so. Not goiug back, but jetting the great mass that is (lie bone and sinew of .the country keep qpqce with the times is (he desire of tint parly. Our system of taxation does not permit this great class to bare an equal chance with lh$ ipilitauaire manufacturers of the country. An equal chance for gll is what is necettspry, and is needed, ty) not make a few rich an4 ipany people poor. Tjjis system was condemned l^y Rlncolp, Grant, Garfield, Hancock, ang Glofujmjs Grover Cleveland. More tariff the more poor people. ‘‘You cannot wake money out of the rich/’ is the piotlo of Ilia moneyed man. Do you pot why so many of the rish wmnt to supppft and up

IV HAT TARIFFS DO. A Republican Speaks np For a Principle That Should Prevail. Our Minister to Spain, Hon. Thom83 W. Palmer, says in an interview in the New York Herald: “Onoof the worst features of Spain’s i present economy is the lack of home production. Almost everything is imported. The consequences arc that wages are low, and the cost of living high. There is no reason for this state of affairs, inasmuch as the country possesses most varied natural resources.’’ . Itut there is a reason, and a very, potent reason. Spain is the land where tariff was discovered. It was at the little town of Tat-ifa, on the Gibraltcr Straits, that the Moorish pirates discovered what a flue way of getting rich it was to levy a percentage of the cargoes of passing ships as a price for letting them through the straits. From this the idea spread. Every port ot Spain was made a Tarifa; or, literally, a tariff' was applied to Spain, and everything that went out or came in had to give up a certain per cent, to the Government,with ihe bisr resultant effect of increasing the price, and hence giving to those who produced the goods a mouopoly to make them. So possessed with this idea did Spain heroine that its Government entered every avenue of trade, locked the colonies into arbitrary trade relations with the mother country alone; protected everything, allowing no natural development,and the result is the 'Spain of to-day which our Minister “can't understand.” The diplomatic borps should be abolished.—Indianapolis Hem.

To Instruct Delegates. Ed. Democrat : Please announce through your paper lliat there will be a mass meeting held at Winslow on the 24ih of this month for the purpose of instructing our delegates to the various conventions as to how the people of Patoka township want to vote next Fall. Gudek Committee. The above notice was sent to this paper with a request that it be published. We do not know who is the author of it, but we suppose the committee understand it. In fact it purports to cmiuate from the ‘‘committee,” and we believe it does, though there was no individual name signed to the notice. We do not wish to dictate to any one, but we must be permitted to sav that an instruction sometimes does more harm than good, especially if the conventions to which the delegates are scut do not happen iq choose the^uen for whom they instructed, in. which case the people who instruct the delegates may become dissatisiied, not only with the men nominated, but also with the delegates for not securing what they are instructed to- secure, whether it be in their power to do it or not. It should always be remembered that the of a township, or even a whole county is not always the will of the people.

What Our. “Homeyness” Does. On (lie subject of Reciprocity with Mexico, “The Three Republics,” a pa-' per published in the city of Mexico,, comments in a way that is applicable to many articles besides those it mentioned. The article is worth thinking about. It is as follows: “One of the results ot the short-sighted policy of the American government in excluding Mexican silver-lead ores will soon become manifest. Up to the issuance of the Windom circular which struck t ic first blow at Mexican ores, a large and profitable trade was being developed between the United States and Mexico to the mutual ijrofit. of American owners of smelters and the owners of Mexican mines. This traffic was contributing directly to the increase of commercial transactions of every description. Mexican miners and dealers in ores who fount) purchasers in the United States were making purchases there which had till then been imfde in Europe. The partial destruction of the ore trade by. Mr. Windom is to be followed, it seems, by the total destruction of that business by congressional action.

wuen li Decaiuc unucisioou uiai me American lead men were strong enough to carry their point ,in their tight for the exclusion of Mexican ores, capitalists acquainted with the facts in the matter, at once saw a favorable opportunity to reap the protits which had formerly been tne reward of the enterprise of the ownors of American smelters, ilencc companies were organized for the erection of smelters in this country, the greater part of the capital employed coming from Europe. President Diaz, in iiis massage to congress, states that the government has contracted with one company for the erection of five reduction works in as many parts of the republic. We have no doubt that many works of the kind will be erected without contracts with the government, and it is tube supposed that with a very short time all Mexican arcs will be treated in the country. The miners and laborers of the country as well as the capitalists who erect the works will be greatly benefitted. The action of the American government wilt rebound directly and IMiwerftilly tp the advantage of this country. If the saq|e results could have been brought about by the Mexican government the necessary action woulfl perhaps long since have been taken. Unfortunately the good turn which the government of the United States has done Mexico was not intentiqual and therefore neither the Americans who have been injured by tlie new lorn affairs have fakcn'uor those who have been bencfiitcc| ean make any capital out of it. Qu the contra - ry. the action of the goyoruatant ait Washington is regarded in ihs country as nnfrlendly. J^e^icap ores will ■ nqt only be treated op Mcxi^n ‘soil, j but their proceeds will, whereyej conditions are even, go tqlSurope in payI roent for purchases wftlch were being

made In the United States previous to the destruction of -the ore trade between the two republics. There can be no doubt that the American people are commencing to realize the value of close commercial rel ations with this country, but as yet the conditions of the trade are not sufficiently understood to cau£e any very general opposition to the intrigues ot the representatives of priyate>iiitere»i:s which are caleulatedto retard a consummation sincerely desired by a majority of (lie people. It is not generally known in the United Stntes that acquiescence in the demands of the lead men meins a serious injury in this country to American business. The majority of the manufacturers of the United States, who for reasons of little weight approve tlie present high duty on sugar, are probably unaware that it was the -sugar^n'civst which killed theGrautItonifero reciprocity treaty, thereby preventing the opening up of a targe market to certain important American manufactures. It is to be hoped and presumed, tiiat when the American |icopie become more familial with the conditions upon which a large trade between the two countries depends, they will not regard with so much complacency as they now do the intrigues of persons who in promoting their individual interest are injuring those of the nation. While Mexico is to be heartily congratulated on the result of the work of the lead men of the United States, the American people are tit subjects for condolence. Mr. Windom and Mr. McKinley may have the satisfaction of knowing that they arc promoting a great industry in Mexico, but they can net long shut their eyes to the fact that they are directly injuring American trade in this country.”

Actable Tendency. Spri.ig is now farely on, in fact, in many sections it has been, apparently, on all Wiuter. The people are making plans concerning the coming year. One of the most encouraging signs of the times is the determination with which the people have entered upon their duties to themselves and to the public. In this country, most yeomen own and cultivate, their own fields. They go forth to labor with the heart filled with expectations of the most happv conditions for the near future. Each year, they labor harder than the year before, and their labor is made a pleasure, as they themselves grow more patriotic the more they contemplate a home with wife and children whose protection is sc closely identified with their country’s protection that they become lovers of their country because they have homes that are their otvn castles. These are happy conditions; and, country right or country wrong, such patriots as a home-horn love produces will never let her flag trail at the enemy’s bidding. But, contemplate the happy conditions of the future, or

speculate about it how we may, there is fast growing up a condition (hat threatens to menace all that can be born of home, love,and kindred. The rapid centralization of wealth is the Hell Gate that threatens not only to debar the present generation from the happiest conditions of mankind ; that is already doing it; but which prophesies an alarming destruction of all patriotism, and the dual rupture, if not the overthrow of the race. We hare as much faith in the human race as any one. The world grows better and better,and is to-day better, perhaps^ considering the people or masses, than in any age that precedes us. But, search the history of the nations that hare surged to and fro in the ringing groore of change that comes down to its since Adam first sinned, and we find that they came to perfection by growing better and better, each age showing better morals and better condition’s than any previous age; but, in all ages, there never lias been a country without men avaricious and greedy and dishonest. For the benefit of themselves a few men have been the destruction of every ruined nation. A noted writer on the conditions of countries at times of destruction'has most truly said: “Whendarkness settled over Fgypt, and site lost her place among the great notions of the earth, 3 per cent of her population owned 97 per cent of her wealth. When Babylon went down, 2 percent, of her population owned all the wealth. When I Persia bowed her head,l per cent of her population owned ail the land. When the sun of Home set in black despair, eighteen bundled men owned and controlled all the then known world. For the past thirty years— more particularly since the close of the civil war—the Uuited States lias moved rapidly along the path followed by these old nations. In 1850 our capitalists owned 37 ?» percent, of the natiou’s wealth. In 1870, only twenty years later, they owned 03 percent, having almost doubled their accumulations.. They have more thau kept up this ratio since 1870, and probably now bold iullv 80 per cent, of the total wealth of the couutry. What proportion of the population holds this large per cent.it is not §asy to determine, but. it does not probably exceed 10 percent, of the (iO,000,000 who inhabit: this country, aud this per cent., so small in 'numbers, but so omnipotent in wealth, is using its immense pow cr in every department of business and of government in the development and prosecution of schemes for making the rich richer and (Jib poor poorer.”

A p.non man in this county heard a rich Repubt^an say that, if he (the rich Republican) were a poor man, he would! vote the Democratic ticket. That {poor man had lost h|^ farm by mortgaging it in an eastern loan company coin posed of men made rich froip ill is tariff business, lie vowed then gijffl there to role the Democratic ticket! We shall see if hp does it. Ills nit^pt « c wilhold tor |hp proseut.

Last month we Tinted Washington through the pages of Demorest’s Family Magazine,, and eujoyed the very interesting views of tlie exteriot of the White House and its surroundings. This month, in the June number of this popular Magazine (which has just arrived) we enter the Executive Mansion, and are treated to a ramble through its corridors, its executive and private apartments. We thus participate in the special favor shown to Demorest’s Magazine, as we are introduced to many features not usually seen by the general public. The White House has never before been so fully and beautifully illustrated; and the numerous handsome pictures which the article contains, lnc.ludiug portraits of “Baby McKee,” Mrs- Harrison, and the four generations now residing in the White House, toake it especially interesting to every American father, mother, and child. This number also contains a picture offour of “mother’s darlings” “Out for an Airing,” which is a supurb water-color, equal in design and execution to those selling at high price at the art stores; “Athletics for Women” is also finely illustrated; and “The Lady Tramp” will no doubt start many of “Our Girls” off on that heathful exercise, for it tells them just what to do and what to wear when doing it. All the other Departments are fulj to overflowing with entertaining and helpful matter, and the stories are particularly good. A remarkable 20 cents worth, surely. Published by W.
