FRIDAY OCTOMBER 2, 188B
rOTF TfN AS THE Fitllll.
An exchange in treating of the pro
tection which high tariff men claim is
afforded farmers hy the present tariff
law, says that it is still claimed that
protection fives the farmers a ready
market for their produce. A good
many other people have said the same
thing, but not recently, ' Most intelli
gent protectionists have abandoned that
ground. It is so battered aad riddled
by the truth that only the misinformed
would think of resorting to it. Pro
tectionists who know what they are
talking about have long age given u p
the attempt to convince the American
farmer thst he profits by being taxed.
These protectionists should be informed
by Mr. Henry Cabot Lodge, whe is a
revenue reformer in principle and a
protectionists for votes, that the high
tariff energies are now to be directed to
proving to laboring men that 10 cents
a day is a princely income,snd a higher
oae thsn they would set wire it not
for the present tariff.
The farmers, next to the workingmen,
are at the bottom under the protective
system. By reason of the natural
growth of the agricultural interest of
this country their crops are greatly in
exoeas of the demand of the home mar
ket In the fiscal year 1884, the farm
ers exported 15,247,510 bushels of
Indian corn ; 27,256,427 bushels of
oatmeal : and 70,349,012 bushels of
wheat. Nor do theee great quantities
represent all that the American farmers
tent abroad. Protection baa not yet
succeeded in building up for the farmer
a home market for the produce of his
laud. On the contrary, under the low
tariffs between 1850 and I860, the
home market consumed a much greater
percentage of the products of our farms
than is now bought by our manufac
turing towns. The consequence is that
the price of wheat and other agricul
tural products is fixed in Liverpool.
In the price of the exported surplus
la to found the result of competition
with the world. The protectionists!
W a - . l
nave bad no care or concern for the
farmer. They protect against compell
ing American labor to compete with
what they call foreign pauper labor.
They are not sincere even in this, for
American labor is as poorly paid and
more highly taxed than any other labor
in the world, and the very men who
pretend to the possession of philan
thropic feeling for the workingmen
induce cheap labor from Europe to
oorae hither to compete with American
workingmen aud to lower their wages
But granting that they are sincere in
their assertions that they deaire pro.
taction in order to sur tain higher wages,
they have no such friendship for the
American farmer. While they have
been building up a wall to give the
control of the market to the manufac
turers, they Lave permitted the farmer
to suffer from competition with the
eheap labor of Southern Russia and
with the ryots of India. Under cur
protective system, the farmer pays a
sex of abaut 40 per cent, on what he
buyj in the way of clothes and machin
ery, an 1 competes, in Liverpool and
here, with the natives of India whose
clotbinz is a yard of cotton for their
loins, and whose abundant fcoi is rice.
The assertion jaVSwrOteclionists that
the? "are working for the interests of
the laboring people of the country baa
lon been shown to be baseless, and of
all men the farmers are they who are
taxed for the building up of private
fortunes without any cempensation.
The American farmer bays in the. dear
est market and sells in the cheapest.
A HAPPY UVK CUT SHORT
T f ,-;
Roicoe Conkling has been in Ger
many more than eight weeks, but he
has not forgoUen his native tongue.
He writes to a friend that, in his judg
ment, "the republican party will never
win another national victory." The ex
senator is, in all probability, quite
right. Unless there is s much larger
democratic defection than we think
there is, or is likely to be, the republi
can victories of the future will be con
fined to isolated school districts.
Tbe democrats of New York last
week nominated David B. Hill for goy.
ernor and Roswell P. Flower for lieu
tenant governor. Flower declines. Hill
is the present governor. Tbe Stoats
Zeitung a German democratic paper
bolts Hill and will support Davenport
tbe republican nominee. The dispat
ches, (which are to be taken with con
siderable allowance,) bear a tone of cer
tain coming democratic defeat. We
hope not, but all does not look hopeful
in that state. Tbe democrats in that
stata are sadly divided and if they do
not heal all divisions they will meet
with defeat.
Beecher comes out in suppoit of tbe
Republican ticket in New York. If
tbe Republicans succeed in that state,it
will be in consequence of the influence
which th it gentleman wields. It is
aafe to say that tho Republicans could
not win without his influence and we
hope they may not be able to do so
with it. By the way, have our repub
lican friends forgotten how bad a man
Beecher was last fall? Tbe Orggonian
calls him a man of "ill-repute ;" but we
beg leave to say thst it takes just such
a man as Beecher to bring success to
be Republican party.

The New England veterans of the
late war went en an excursion the other
day to Harrtsonborg, Virginia, whore
they were met and very courteously
and kindly treated by confederate
veterans. Now all this was bad enough
in fact a mingling with disloyalty
that is truly reprehensible, but when
these New England veterans deliber
ately marched out to a confederate
cemetery and strewed rebel graves with
flowers, the offense is one absolutely
too grievous to be borne. But since
we think of it, this aet is not offensive
to men who twenty-five years ago took
np arms and fought the batttes of the
Union, but it is only offensive to those
men who, hearing the call to arms in
1862, began to make exousee and put
themselves in the rear to speculate up
on the misfortunes of their country.
But now after the war has ceased end
become a matter ef history to eight out
of every ten voters in the country .these
valiant gentlemen come forward te
open up the war again, and when any
thing like this strewing of flowers on
eoufedetate graves by union veterans
takes place these men who are always
bloody minded in time of peaoe and
carry a white flag in time of war, are
np in arms at such scandalization of the
union cause.

An esteemed contemporary insists
that the Internal Revenue Bureau be
"wiped out," because it is "an odious,
oppressive and undemocratic institu
tion." None need pay the taxes on
whisky and tobacco except such persons
as consume these commodities , hence
it is difficult to see in what consists the
oppressive character of this method of
taxation. If the voluntary taxes which
men pay for their drink and smoke are
undemocratic, in the estimation of our
contemporary, it would doubtless re
gard the Custom-house as an altogether
lovely Democratic institution. But if
the Internal Bureau were wiped out, as
"an undemocratic institution," it would
be curious to learn whence are to come
the $130,000,000 of Treasury receipts
which are now drawn from whisky and
tobacco. How could the large Treas
ury deficit be covered after losing this
revenue and refunding forty or sixty
millions of dollars to holders of whisky
and tobacco on which the taxes have
been paid? Must the duties on tea
and coffee be revived? Increase of
protective duties would result in loss of
revenue, and a general reduction of
duties to tho revenue standard would
encounter the fiercest hostility from all
the protectionists in the country. It is
besides, evident from the condition of
the public finances, that the Internal
Revenue Bureau must stand for a long
time to come, no matter what may be
the result of the efforts in behalf of
tariff reform. The revenue from im
ports are no; sufficient to meet the or
diaary expenditures of the Government
and to pay the interest on the public
debt. The internal taxation ef whisky
and tobacco was, it is true, imposed as
a war measure, and it will still perform
its functions as a war measure so long
as its proceeds are applied to the ex
tinguishment of the national indebted
ness. So far from being odious and op
pressive, there are no taxes which the
people pay so cheerfully and feel so little
as the taxes on what they drink and
smoke. Yet it is a curious fact that
there are persons who declaim against
their voluntary taxes, and yet regard
with the utmost complacency the taxes
that are wrung from the necessaries of
the family. It is much better to pay
taxes on luxuries than on necessities.
This fact must address itself to the con
viction of every reflecting Democrat.

There has been quite a stir here in
the Chinese quarters. Last Saturday
night one of the section hands was
robbed of $650. From the best infor
mation we can gather here, it is
thought nearly all of the Chinamen
here are guilty. Two left as soon as
the robbery was committed and have
not been seen since. Diligent search
has been made by the Marshall and
others. No trace of the two missing
up to te-day. The Marshall,McNary,
has gone south to look after them.
The Chinaman that was robbed was
the best of the lot in Halsey. He is
a Canton man and all tbe others are
from Hong Kong. There has been
no good feeling between them for

A Safeguard.
The fatal rapidity with which slight
Colds and Coughs frequently develop
into the gravest maladies of the throat
and lungs, is a consideration which should
impel every prudent person to keep at
hand, as a Household remedy, a bottle of
AYER'S CHEERY PECTORAL.
Nothing else gives such immediate relief
nnd works so sure a cure in all affections
of this class. That eminent physician.
Prof. F. Sweetzer, of tho Maine Medical
School, Brunswick) Me., says :
"Medicai science has produced no other ano
dyne expectorant so good as Ayer'b Cbbrry
Pectoral. It is invaluable for diseases of the
throat and lungs."
The same opinion is expressed by the
well-known Dr. L.J.Addison, of Chicago,
HI., who says:
"I have never found, in thirty-five years of
continuous study and practice of medicine, any
preparation of so great valueas Aran's CuBBHY
Psctobal, for treatment of diseases of tho
throat and lungs. It not only breaks up colds
and cures severe coughs, but is more effective
than anything else in relieving even the most
serious bronchial and pulmonary affections."
AYER'S
Cherry Pectoral
Is not a new claimant for popular confi
dence, but a medicine which is to-day
saving tbe lives of tho third generation
who nave come into being since it was
first offered to the public.
There is not a household in which this
invaluable remedy has once been in
troduced where its use has ever been
abandoned, and there is not a person
who has ever given it a proper trial
for any throat or lung disease suscep
tible of cure, who has not been made
well by it.
AYER'S CHERRY PECTORAL has,
in numberless instances, cured obstinate
cases of chronic Bronchitis, Larnygitis,
and even acute Pneumonia, and has
saved many patients in the earlier stages
of Pulmonary Consumption. It is a
medicine that only requires to be taken In

POISON AT THE
No article entering so generally into the fo(d of every
family has been found more villainously adulterated than
baking powder. For the purpose of underselling the " Royal,"
whose absolute purity and wholesomeness has never yet been
questioned, hundreds of dealers are putting up baking pow
ders with eheap and adulterated cream of tartar, which
contains lime, earth, etc., adding strength by the free use
of alum. .
These adulterated powders are "shoved" upon the" pub
lic with the greatest persistency. They are first given
away left in samples at private residences, with circulars
containing bogus analyses and certificates, and false repre
sentations as to their value, etc. This fact of itself is suffi
cient to condemn them. A first-class article will sell on its
- ". SJ
merits. No manufacturer whose goods are of value can afibrd
to give them away, and none but the cheapest make and most
inferior or unmarketable goods require to be distributed free
in order to get the public to use them, and this method is
adopted only by parties who have failed to dispose of their
wares through the ordinary and legitimate channels of trade.
Free samples of articles of food left at the house should
be regarded with suspicion. There is no 'guarantee of their
wholesomeness, while there is real danger that they contain
a fatally poisonous compound. Many instances of poisoning
from tho use of such samples are recorded.
The Royal Baking Powder is never given away, sold by
means of lotteries, nor accompanied by chromos, spoons,
crockery or other gifts, except the gifts of absolute purity,
wholesomeness, full weight and superlative leavening power.
These gifts are guaranteed with each package. Its own
merits have been its chief advertisement, and they have se
cured for it the constant patronage of the American people
to an extent beyond the combined sale of all other baking
powders. 1 The Royal Baking Powder is absolutely pure
and perfect
