In the elementary geography of the snide Indiana Educational Series may be touud on one page a map of a village drawn, as is stated on the margin, on the scale of a mile to the inch. A careful calculation, on the basis of this rate, shows that a church shown on the map is 125 rods long and covers 45 acres of ground. A hotel on the same map is SO rods long. St. John and other democratic free trade advocates have mueja to to say about “Man’s God-given right to buy where they can buy the cheapest,” but if a man lies a God-given right to buy where he can buy the cheapest, his right to hire where he can hire the cheapest is equally God-given and inviolable, yet St. John could not denounce too strongly the mine owners of Clay county, and certain manufacturers he mentioned in eastern states, for hiring their work doiie by those who would do it the cheapest, and Dan Voorhees publicly advocates thg hanging of Mr. Carnegie, of Pittsburg, because he wished to reduce the wages in a certain department of his steel works down to but little more than double what men get for doing the some work in England. It will be noticed* however, that neither St. John nor Yoorhees makes .any mention of Coal Baron Scott, the democratic leader, who not only reduces the wages of his Illinois miners to a lower figure than most of his neighbors pay, but sternly refuses to give them work at any wages unless they will renounce utterly and forever, their (perhaps no l,) “God-given right” to combine for their mutual protection against any further exactious or oppressions their noble free-trade lord and muster may choose to subject them to. As has been frequently remarked in other and similar cases, it makes a big difference whose ox gets the gouge. St. Job n, who says he is a martyr, perhaps because he speaks for fifty dollars a speech when he thinks he ought to have u hundred, attempted, in the democratic poriion of his speech of last Monday .night, to make his readers believe that to the success of the Republican party last fall was due the fact that oats are worth but from 15 to 18 cents per bushel. Now if tho martyr is right in attributing the low -price of ants- to the Republican party, it is evident that to the same party belongs the credit of the very satisfactory price of corn, the high price of pork, say £4.50 live *,veight., Ike/uniformly high price of eggs, this season, the good price pf butter and the fair prices of horses?"”Cattle are pretty cheap, but they gtit that way in Cleveland’s time. Hay also is down low, but that, too, went down in Democratic days, and the outlook now is for better prices. What St JohD and other democratic freetrade advocates are pining for . ... ' ... •

is the return of the: good old free-trade times, which' any man 65 years old, and with a clear head, can remember, when corn was hard to sell at 10 cents a bushel, and rwtfen a man would trade 40 bush- | els of it for a pair of cow-hide | boots, when dressed pork was 51.50 | a hundred, and no sale at all for live 'tlOgS, WMu~ six good cows ; would be traded for a set of har- : ness, when eggs were worth three | cents a dozen and butter the same price per-pound, when no farmer or mechanic could have a carpet !on his floor of an organ or piano iin his house, or books and magazines on his center table, or pictures [on his walls; when farm hands Worked for five dollars a month, when school teachers were glad to get eight dollars and “board around” and the people could not afford to maintain schools for more than three or four months in a year, even with teachers’ wages at that low figure. Yes, the Republican party can afford to accept the responsibility for the general ruling of prices of farm products, and the economic condillohlif tlie people generally, under their protective system, and especially so when these things are compared to what always has been heretofore, and is sure to be again, under democratic free trade rule.

The South Bend Tribune noticing the compulsory introduction of the new school books in that city, says: “In order that the expense may fall as lightly as possible on parents and pupils, the Tribune store laid in a large stock of the aritkmeticslmd readers, which will be sold at lower prices than are charged for the same books by the state. These books were put into Michigan, Minnesota and other states just as they have been in this State but proved so unpopular that that Michigan has thrown them out, as have several counties in other states. The books are most of them as good as new, are better bound (have cloth instead of paper bindings like the Indiana books) and will wear twice as long. Many of the Indiana books are these same ‘Standard series’ with the cloth covers torn off and a paper cover with ‘lndiana Series’ printed on it pasted on. The Tribune store furnishes the cloth covered books at from two to ten cents cheaper than the State books can be sold, and at the same time payß twice as much for the discarded books as the syndicate pays.” r T r ' ?. There was great indignation in the south because the sacred soil was contaminated by northern prize-fighters, but there is great elation in the same section at the display of “manly courage” of two scions of Georgia’s first families who went out in the light of the inconstant moon and settled a personal difficulty according to the code. This inconsistencyplained by the fact that the Northern prize-fighters were vulgar mud-sills in the estimation of the aristocratic Southerners, while the duelists, who committed a much graver breach of the peace than the Rich burg pugilists, are “Geo’ga gentlemen, b’gawd.” —Lafayette Courier.

SOME TARIFF “REFORM” QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

' The Mugwump, Tariff Reform, Democratic New York Evening Post lately sent out circulars all over the country to supposed political sympathizers, containing a list of questions as to what each locality addressed was doing in the way of trying to destroy American prosperity, or in other words for the promotion of free trade. One of the circulars fell into the hands of the Lamberts ville, N. J. Record, which thus answers the queries, in a manner unexpected -but truthful and pertinent: The New York Evening Post sends us a series of questions to which we are requested to reply by letter. We prefer to answei the questions tlnough the Record. “Name of club or clubs that did ‘effective’ work for tariff refornl during the last campaign?” Ans. The Cobden Club. It wasn’t very “effective,” however. “Is tbe olub active now?” Ac. Ans. Certainly. It has a money interest in endeavoring to open a market for British goods in this country, to the injury of. home manufacturers and home labor. “Was Tariff Reform fairly discussed lasfyViyr, iineub.ngiod wpf

, l oilier topics? With what result?” [ A ns. “Tariff Reform” is rarely “biirty discussed” by its advocates*. They distort facts und make assertions, but always fail to show how tile workingmen and producers |of this country will be better off j when lower Tariff or Free-Trade ; permits the freer introduction of /foreign goods, thus reducing the demand for home made goods and putting our workingmen on a plane with the lower paid workingmen of- Europe. As to the I “result” of the discussion-can i! be possible that the Post doesn't Mr. Cleveland in New York, in a shite of “innocuous desuetude?” “Has pofmlar feeliDg favorable to reform become stronger since the election?” Ans. No! The masses still prefer to build up their own prosperity, rather than to impoverish themselves to help other lands. • “Who are the most energetic workers for Tariff reform in your community?” Jms. Professional politicians, who swallowed the platform, right or wrong. Throughout the country, the most “energetic workers for tariff reform” are the agents for foreign manufacturers, the importers of foreign products, and the visionaries who have not got over their childhood imaginings that there is a pot of gold at the base of every rainbow. The pot of gold may be at one end of the iree trade rainbow, but that end is across the wafer. *

Protection and the Constitution.

The average free-trade preacher has a magazine of invective ready to launch against the policy of Protection to Home Industries whenever occasion may require. Not content with results when discussion is confined to the expediency of the protective policy, its opponents speedily resorted to denunciation in the course of which the listener is soon confronted with the assertion that Protection is unconstitutional. This plea, comparatively a modern one—never having been made during the lifetime of the framers of the Constitution—if substantiated, would insure the triumph of the free trade policy, and would seem to afford the readiest mode of attack open to the tariff reforiner. Why Das the power of Congress to enact laws for the defense and building up of domestic industries not been assailed in the practical manner here indicated, if the men who oppose that policy believe what they preach to others? Almost daily, questions are arising under the enforcement of our tariff laws, largely the outgrowth of attempts by practical free traders to evade the payment of specified duties on foreign products. Every conceivable device has been employed to avoid payment of a tariff from which they could have permanent exemption, if at some stage of adjudication competent courts could be induced to pronounce its enforcement without warrant in the Constitution. The first Congress, composed largely of the same patriots who aided in framing the Constitution, among its first labors passed a law avowedly for the encouragement of dSmestic manufactures. During the discussions accompanying this action no one assailed the proposed law as unconstitutional, and for long years thereafter the fathers and and framers of the Constitution were found differing only upon questions of expediency in the shaping of tariff lawß. It remained for philosophers and theorists of a later day to find out that the men who framed our organic la\v were the first to violate it by insuring the defense of industries then, as now, essential to the growth and independence of the country. If the free-trade preachers believe their own teachings, why does not some one of them get the supreme court to determine the constitutionality of protective-tar-iff laws? With an honorary member of the free-trade Cobden Club appointed as one of said court by the last administration, the prospects for a fovorable d ecision are not likely ever to be better than now. The uso of calomel for derangements of tho liver has ruined many a tine constitution. Those who, Cor similar troubles, have tried Ayer’s Pills testily to their efficiency in thoroughly rem edying the malady, without injury to the system. J. M._Laose Red Clover Co.—Gents: I have been a sufferer for the past five years from rheumatism across the shoulders, and by using your Fluid Extract Red Clover, am entirely relieved; believe it has driven it from my system, and won’t be a weather barometer any longer.

Edgerly, Council Bluffs, lowa. “Twentyyears ago I was troubled with a disease of the lungs. Doctors afforded me no relief and considered my case hopeless. I then began to use Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, and, before I had finished one bottle, found relief. I continued tp take this medicine until a cure was effected. I believe that Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral saved my life.”— Samuel Griggs, Waukegan, 111. “Six years ago I contracted a severe cold which settled on my. lungs and soon developed all the alarming symptoms of Consumption. I had a cough, night sweats, bleeding of the lungs, pains in the chest and sides, and was so prostrated as to be confined to my bed most of the time. After trying various prenenptionsy without benefit, my physician finally determined to give me Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, I took it, and tljo.cffeet was magical. I seemed to rally from the first dose of this medicine, and, after using only three bottles, am as well and sound as ever.” Rodney Johnson, Springfield, 111. § Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, PREPABED BY Dr. J.
