lMday, August 17. 1888,
o doubt there arc ninny lionit
conscientious men throughout the
country who are so buxily engaged in
the work of providing for their faini
lictf tliat they have no lime to inform
themselves upon the taiill' and other
important political issues of the day,
and are consequently in a ho.i of un
certainty and doubt. To such Tin:
Scour propound)) u few question!,
makes a few suggestions and oilers a
word of advice.
Is it necessary to have u wind-mill
to find out which way the wind blows?
Wouldn't a few straws answer tho
purpose?
Did you ever know u
iMoney .Shark,
Land Grabber,
Jlankcr,
Monopolist,
Jdiilroiul .President,
Swamp Land Angel,
Millionaire or
Protected Manufacturer
who was not a republican?
Maybe you have, but if we should
see one wo would regard him as a liv
ing curiosity.
Are your interests identical with
theirs?
.Nay, verily.
)o you think it requires any great
amount of brains to arrive at that con
dition, when you come to think of it?
We don't.
Every one of them are bowling for
"protection" to American labor.
Peculiar, isn't it?
Didn't the former slave owners of
the South guard, protect and care for
their workmen?
Why did they do it?
Wasn't it for the reason that by so
doing they were enabled to lay on
heavier burdens, and make more mon
ey out of them?
Are you soft enough to bo fooled,
betrayed and ruined by honied words
from the lips of a liar?
Do you want to bo slaves?
If you do not: Think for your
selves. If you don't know which way
to east your ballot, vote against the
party that harbors (bo above named
gentry and you wont miss it.
Will oil and water mix?
Not much.
Your class represents tho water and
tho rich class represents the oil.
Have you not noticed that tho oil
gets on top every time?
Wouldn't it be a good idea for you
to let the money sharks and schemers
protect themselves, while- you look to
your own home?
We think it would.
Gather your family around you,
state the above facts to your wife, and
ask her if she doesn't think you have
been pretty much of a clam.
She will, probably, think you have.
Don't bo a clam.
15o a democrat and vote for ('love
land and Thunnan next November.

JLYG-
It is generally conceded that a nows
papor, to (111 its mission properly,
should bo an educator of the youth as
well as a disseminator of news.
Probably nowhoie In tho world is
newspaper reading carried to such an
extent, or the inllueuces of tho news
paper in forming tho literary and edu
cational status of tho masses, more
pronounced than in this country.
Our system of freo schools is a most
excellent one, enabling tho poorest hi
the laud to have their children In
structed in I ho rudimentary branches
of education by competent teachers,
and thus lilted to take a creditable
part in tho ovcry day affairs of life.
Tho Instruction thus afforded, how
ever, is at IntorvnlH and of short du
ration, in many of tho rural districts
but for a fow months during each
year. Tcxt-bookn, during vacation,
aro many times discarded and tho
family newspaper takes tho placo of
tho teacher. This bolng truo, how
essential it Is that the papor should bo
a vehlclo of correct languago and a
conscientious auxiliary of tho public
school. An editor who is incapacita
ted by natural feebleness of intellect,
or lack of scholastic attainment to
meet theso requirements, whoso
emtio, ungrnninmtlcal and disjointed
sentences aro calculated to confuse the
budding intellect of the young, throw
tho moro advanced studont into a lin
guistic nightmare, and undo the good
work of tho school teacher, is certain
ly out of his sphere of usefulness and
nhoultl resign at onco. Tul Scout,
while laying uo claim lb ciitcnelvo
learning or exalted literary merit, has Certainly not; for it matters not how
endeavored at all times to dotho its marly foreigners come to this country
ideas in such language as could be ' e ach year he must still sell his prod
understood and that would not be ' nets by the controling prices in the
likely to incur the adverse criticism, of 1 Liverpool market. In other words;
every school boy. It pursiwd the j when he wishes to know what his
even tenor of its way believing that1 wheat, beef and pork will bring in
its efforts were appreciated by tho 1 any manufacturing city in America,
people of Union county It still ; he may ascertain that fact by cxainin-
! thinks so although a lew ofllcc soekefs
i miUKS SO ,-llllluugii :i u:h unieu m;oki
and would be bossers of the (own
, i Union have started an opposition j
pa-
per, for the purpose of ventilating
their spite, and have elevated, or
more properly speaking, lowered,
into the editorial chair of the same,
an individual whose brilliant intellect -
ual scintillations are to electrify t no
(ho
country, and overwhelm the editor of
Tin: Scoi'T in iirnoblo darkness
Two Hashes of light have radiated
from the sanctum of the Jlcpvlth'cdu
so far, but tho people arc not dazed
by its effulgence to any great extent,
Of this man in his capacity us j with the question: If you can manu
lninister of the irospel we shall have ! fact tire and sell cheaper than your
nothing to say as it does not concern I foreign competitor with protection
us. Of tho editor of tho Jfrtiibtt'ctni , 1 wh can you not do so without pro
a paper established for the express i lection , and is not protection in that
purpose of "running us out" we
shall speak from time to time. It
will be a source of amusement to us,
when wo have nothing better to do,
to expose the sophistries of his weak
and pontile political arguments, and
puncture the bubbles of his mind as
(hey come inllatcd with airy nothing
ness from tho recesses of his "dome
of thought." We shall show to
the people of Union county the
shallowness of his pretentions, and
enjoy with (hem his fearful combat
with (he Huglish language. He is
wrestling with it hard, and sometimes
ho has the language down , and some
times the language has him down . 1 1 is
ludicrous in the extreme. Delow wc
give a specimen , clipped from one of
his last week's editorials, which is a
fair sample of the wholo mess of dreary
stuff tint is weekly dished out to the
readers o( (he Jiepitblican:
It is a question for tliu people of thN
great commonwealth to carefully and de
tcnniiiatcly consider whether all the freo
men of this nation aro at full liberty in
their freedom, or whither they are forbid
den by any process of intimidation, to ex
ercise their rights. Under our constitu
tion, the citizen of yesterday, no mutter
where or what he was befoie, has us much
right to east one free ballot at eaeli and
every election taking place for (he guvcrn
meiit where that citizenship is, as the
most ancient, philosophic, wialthv and re
spected citizen of the land. fchot guns and
blood hounds, and masked men to handle
them have no part nor lot in the matter
and when they dare to have to do with this
question, then liberty becomes a farce and
citizenship a mere s'liani.
We would like for some school boy
to give (he above sentences a thorough
analysis and if , at (ho conclusion of
his labors, ho has his faculties under
control sullicienlly to (ell whose boy
ho is we will give him a year's sub
scription to Tin; Scoi'T free of charge.
And this is (lie individual the repub
licans of this county onco wanted for
Superintendent of Schools. This is
the editor put up by a littio clique in
Union to pump intelligence into you
through the columns of the .lipptibli
vaii. What do yon think about it? j
Wo pause for a reply.
A WOJ'J) TO PAItJtKJW.
Our high protective tariff advocates
tell (he farmer (hat he is benefited by
high taxation . by having acquired a
homo market tor the products of his
farm. If it is true (hat for tho tribute
of from AO to ISO per cent, ho pays
bis protected neighbor ho receives a
corresponding benollt in the salo of
his products, then (hero is some jus
tice in his listening to their pleas for
high taxation, and no reason why he
should uol burden himself with (his
additional cost of living, exists. .Hut
if on the other hand this claim is false,
it is an insult to his Intelligence and
should be rebuked with his ballot.
If there is an incroaod consumption
of the farmers products bv virluo of
protection to tho products of his
neighbor, it must, bo by reason of tho
increase In (ho number of (he consum
ers. Is this truo? Is 100 per cunt or
r)0 per cent or oven 10 per coul added
(o tho price of tho products of his
labor by reason of the M), tho 100 and
180 per cent ho pays for every manu
factured article l.o consumes; in other
words, should tho Mill's bill, reduc
ing (miff dudes 7 per cent, become a
law. would the fanner's wheat, oats,
barley, hay, beef ami pork decllno
from .'0 to KS0 per cent in value? If
not, why should ho, by his vote, tax
hhnsolf to this extent for tho solo ben-
otlt of his neighbor? His strugglo in
life is hard; his farm in nine cases
out of ten has been mortgaged, and
he is paying heavy interest on tho
loan, and in iiiuo cases out of ten the j
man to whom ho pays the interest i
Is quite solicitous for high fixation;
that ho may ha vo this much talked ofj
home market, lie should therefore j
ask himself candidly, duos he get it j
ami is no uoiioiilou by it. There can
bo but one answer this proposition,
No, No, No. Why not? Hoeuuso
there is nothing tho f-mnur has to sell,
not oven down to his poultry , that
does not come In competition with tho
markets of the world. Doos high
luxation iiiorouso tho number of the
consumers of his farm pvuduvtt?
! injr tho quotation? from Liverpool,
of I and deducting the costof transporla-
lion irom the Jjiverpool quotations,
and ho will have the price of bis home
I market less freights, commission, etc.
This bcing true the llritish free trade
; cry of the protectionists and their tools
J is simply rot, so far at least as the
. farmers arc concerned. The less in
, farmers arc concerned.
teiiigeni oi tne protectionists some-
times asseal that the protective tariff
enables the farmers and other laboring
elapse to buy their goods cheaper but
the more intelligent steer shv of this
argument for thev aro at once met
case a fraud? Tho more intelligent
atleinpl , first the home market dodge,
and when cornered on that they shout
back at you that you arc a blur? ted
freetrader, and didn't tho g. o. p.
save the country, etc.
WHAT FllEK WOOL MHAXS.
The exemption of wool from duties
means (ho cutting off of nearly ('.
000,000 of needless revenue which
now goes (o swell a surplus for the
politicians to squander.
Free wool, therefore, meets (he first
requirement of tax reduction at the
present time; it reduces the surplus.
The other reasons for free wool
were admirably condensed by the
majority of the Ways and Means com
mittee in their report to the house:
Wc say to the manufacturer wc have
put wool on the free list to enable
him (o obtain foreign maikets and
successfully compete with the foreign
manufacturer. Wo say to the laborer
in the factory we put wool on the free
list so that it may be imported and he
may bo employed (o make the goods
that aro now made by foreign labor
and imported into the United States.
We say to (he consumer we have put
wool on the tree list that he may have
woolen goods cl caper. Wc say to
the domestic wool-grower we have
put wool on (he free list to enable the
inanufaclurcr (o import foreign wool
to mix with bis own and thus enlarge
his market and quicken the demand
tor (he consumption of his wool while
it lightens the burden of the taxpay
ers. The duly on wool now prevents
nearly all the better classes of wools
from coining into the country, when
the domestic product can only supply
about one-half of (he amount re
quired for home consumption.
Tho woolen manufacturers them
selves asked for free wool in tho olli
cial statement of their national associ
ation to tho secretary of tho treasury
no longer ago than lSSS. They de
clared the obvious (ruth that "the
American inanufaclurcr, (o compete
with the fabrics of other nations in
tho oudless variety demanded by our
times, must have tho power of select
ing a portion of his raw material from
all tho world's sources of supply."
Free wool means cheap and better
clothing, carpets and blankets for tho
people. It means u wider market for
our manufactures, and therefore more
work for tho operatives and a greater
demand for (he domestic product.
The United States is now exporting
less than i?r)00,000 of woolen goods,
while Knglaud, with untaxed raw
material, exports more than $100,
000.000. Domestic wool is cheap
both because of and in splto of tho
tariff. r'leo foreign wool for tho nec
essary admixturo will increase the
consumption and therefore better tho
price of homo grown wool.
Tho delusion of taxed wool has
lasted long enough.
A TUIELV AliTlCLK.
Our republican contemporary across
(he way, we are pleased to seo. has
not disappointed his friends who
placed faith in his ability to grapple
with (ho complicated and burning
questions of the day. Jn a lengthy
editorial, last week, on tho political
education of tho masses ho concludes
with a few thoughts which may not
have occurred to tho avorago mind.
Ho says:
It is a question for tho people of this
great commonwealth to carefully and dc
terminntely consider whether all the freo
men of (his nation ae at full liberty in their
freedom, or whether they are forbidden by
nay process of intimidation, to exorcise
their right. Shot puis and
blood hounds, and initskod ymen to bundle
thorn have no purt nor lot in the matter
and when ibey date to have to do with thu
question, then liberty becomes a farce and
eilienliip u mere nham.
Whilo Tm: Scott would have con
structed tho above sentenco a littio
differently, and whilo it differs with
tho HcjtuUicaH on some of tho minor
issues of tho day, such as tho tariff,
etc., it fully concurs wilh tho ideas
oxprosswl in (he above, and will join
hands with the EtjnMtixtn in hoving
those blood hounds and shot guns and
i things called off, so that the free men
of this country may not bo intimi
dated. The nation should be aroused
j and Tin: Scout will help the llepubU
i can to arouse it. Another imporUtt
, question that has not yet bee .'jttled
is: who incd on Port Sumptcr.-'
Wc suggest that the lcpubl!cuvvL)
plc with this issue at once, and wc
will lend what assistance wc can.
Why buy from 'migrating agents of
whom you know nothing, eitiierof their
responsibility or the charcctcr of their
goods, when there are responsible deal
ers located near you, who carry full
and complete lines of all farm and mill
machinery and implements, and whose
'success it is for your best interests to
support with yoar patronage? Frank
