ENGLAND’S SYMPATHY.

Cleveland would run magnificently in England. Over there, they are all for him. 'His Free-Trade policy, if adopted in this country, would mean millions upon millions to British manufacturers and British workingmen. . - ' “ But it would come out of the pockets of American manufacturers and out of the wages of American labor. Loflg before the Revolution, England resolved that America should never manufacture for herself, During the first half of the eighteen century the poor colonists made a feeble beginning in the fabrication of coarse woolens, linen and hats. English manufacturers complained of this to their government and Parliament interfered—in what manner we let Adam Smith, the founder of the Free-Trade school, relate,. We extract from his Wealth of Nations, published in 1776: - - England prohibits the exportation from one province to andther by water and even by land upon horseback or in a cart, of hats, of wool and woolen goods of American production, a regulation which effectually prevents the establishment of any manufacture of such commodities for distant* sale, and confines the industries of her colonies in this way to such coarse and household manufactures as a private family commonly makes for its oWn use, or for that of some of its neighbors in the same province. That policy was adhered to with relentless vigor by England down to the Revolution. Since that time she has watched with impotent rage and maddening envy our advance in manufactures, under the shelter of a Protective Tariff which rendered futile her malevolent attempts to destroy them.

Is it any wonder that her sympathy in this campaign is witnthe party which in effect proclaims in its platform its purpose to reduce us once more to that deplorable ' state of industrial vassalage from which the Revolution freed us? Can a true American vote for the ..candidates of such a party? Democratic Wildcat Resolution. Henry Watterson, the able editor and master of the democratic Louisville Courier-Journal, answering the question “Who wrote that plank in ffvof” of restoring state bank notes to circulation by repealing the tax upon them?” said:

“I do not know, but it is the gravest error in the platform. If anything has come out of the civil war for the benefit of everybody it is good currency. A dollar .is a dollar every where. I have no sympathy with any scheme to put it in the power of an individual or a partnership to issue their notes and make them legal tender, or make the multitude pay the depreciation upon them. It is a step back to barbarism.” But it is a step the Democratic party has deliberately taken. The Republican party has given the country the best and safest system of currency it ever had, and its ascendancy is an imperative necessity to maintain such a system of finance. The older citizens who recollect the times of w ildcat money and uncertain value of paper money, shudder at the thought of returning to such a miserable system.

State and County Taxation.

The Democratic and sub-democrat-ic press of Jasper county has lately devoted considerable effort towards comparing Democratic state taxation with Republican county taxation, with the hopes of making an impression unfavorable to the latter. In the first place the new tax law is a Democratic measure, and was enacted by a democratic legislature. In pursuance of one of the many communistic ideas with which modern democracy is impregna ted, this law shifts a vastgreat^Lproportion of the harden * tate an( i local taxation upon the property of the farmers, upon their than previous laws had done. This is the most objectionable featers of the law, and for it the Democratic party is solely responsible.

i And now for a little comparison of the Democratic State Legislatures and the Republican County Commissioners: The Democrats in the Legislature not only passed a tax law which would 1 Nearly double the revenues of the state, without any increase of the tax levy, by its operating to increase the assessment of property, especially of farm lands, but they also actually increased the levy for state purposes from 12 to 18 cents, an increase of 50 per cent. Some increase of state revenue .was necessary in order to pay interest upon and prevent the

further increase of, the enormous s tate debt,built up by the mismanagement and extravagance of former Democratic Legislatures, but there was no necessity for more than doubling the state revenues, as was done by the combined result of increasing the assessment and raising the levy from 12 to 18 cents. Compare the above with Republican county taxation: Where the Democratic Legislature added to the already enormously increased texes resulting from the increased assessment, by raising the state levy from 12 to 18 cents on the SIOO, an increase of 50 per cent, the Republican County Commissioners, instead of following the Democratic precedent of increasing the levy in about the same proportion as the assessment was increased, thus making a double, double, took the opposite course of reducing the levy for county revenue and cut ft down 75| cents on the SIOO valuation, which was the rate for the tex year 1890, down to 45 cents for the tax year 1891, a REDUCTION of 44 per cent. Briefly summarized, the comparison of Democratic state and Republican c ounty financering, is about as follows: The Democrats have piled up fit enormous debt, for the people to pay interest upon. They have i shifted the heaviest burden of taxation upon the property least able to bear it. They enormously increased the state revenue by increasing the basis of assessment (especially the farms) and then enormously increased it again by raising the state levy 50 per cent.

The Republicans have kept the county absolutely free from debt, and no money has to be raised for interest upon county bonds; county orders are paid as soon as presented and draw no interest from the county treasury; and lastly the rate of taxation was reduced 44 per cent., to offset the increase of assessment. Where is there any truthful and fair-minded man who will say that the facts of the above comparison are not all in favor of the Republicans?

TRUSTS.

Trusts, are not due to protection. This is shown by the fact that the great Mecca of combinations of all kinds is Free-Trade Great Britain. They are the product of a human weakness common to all men, in every country and under every political system—cupidity. Combination is the recognized commercial tendency of the day. It is natural for men to combine, where they see an opportunity for their own profit; and they wilt do this whether there be a Tariff or not, as all impartial judges, even Free-Traders, will admit Protection is no friend of trusts; in fact, it is essentially opposed to them. It prevents the formation of international combinations, for which there could be no destructive remedy, and guarantees men who wish to compete with a trust a fair field and chance for competition. By protection also, trusts are placed within the reach of our own laws; placed where they can be attacked and destioyed by the strong arm of the Government. Free-Trade, on the other hand, either leads to the establishment of international combinations, or, by destroying an industry in this country and causing ua to become dependent for the produet of that industry or a few fowignqrs, puts us at the mercy of a leraign trast from which there can be too escape, and which, of course, no legislation of ours can reach This is entirely in harmany wish | toe ordinary ’Free-Trade » pro-

gramme—to subject us in everything to the domination of the foreigner. The only effective remedy for combinations is a radical antitrust law, such as that already passed by Protectionist Congress. The question of trusts can be formulated in a few words: FreeTrade and foreign trusts, absolutely our-m aster. Protection, every difficulty in the way of forming trusts, new competition to nullify their influence and prohibitory legislation to destroy them when formed.
