E TIN 1S, o( Multnonnh county IS. K. ltd, at Uiuuilia, county. You can not hide your real motive behind the general statement that you want to cheapen sacks. Those who nre burdened by this heavy duty demand that you shall show your faith in words. NOT "A PLAIN STATEMENT,' The Herald-Disseminator, in an article nearly two columns long, under the cap tion of "A Plain Statement," makes some of the most egreglously absurd blunders that we have met with in this campaign. The benighted scrawler of the self-appoint ed grange organ says that the 40 per cent, duty levied upon sacks used by farmers is not added to the price which farmers have to pay. Now we submit that such a state ment is too absurd and ridiculous for a moment's serious thought. It would be just as reasonable and truthful to say that the freight on the sacks from Calcutta to San Francisco is not added to the price the farmer. has to pay. But the blunderhead who deals out tariff nonsense to his readers finds nothing better to support this blood sucking scheme to rob the fanners than his statement above referred to. As we have shown before, more than nine-tenths of all the sacks used on this coast are imported, . and the duty is just as surely added to the price which the farmer pays as the original cot at Calcutta is, and while it appears that the self-appointed grange editor has not sufficient mental caliber to comprehend SO plain a proposition, yet every other man of ordinary intelligence comprehends the proposition upon its statement without ar gument. There is absolutely no reason for placing a duty on jute or jute sacks, for jute is not grown in this country, and not one in ten of tiie sacks used is manu factured here. Who is protected here by putting a duty on jute? No one. Who is protected by putting a 40 per cent, duty on jute sacks? A small, insignificant jute factory at Oakland, California, that is run by Chinese laborers and a few imported Scotch factory girls. And the dolt that runs the sheet up the way would tax the farmers and miners of this coast from six to eight hundred thousand dollars every year to protect that measly concern. Bet ter that the farmers should buy out that concern at 150 cents on the dollar and then pension every employee there than pay this enormous tax. "We deprecate the selfish spirit that attaches the load of a political question to the detestable jute sack that has been foisted upon the Pacific coast farmer," says the editor up the way. Oh, indeed! Who loaded it thus? The leaders whom you blindly follow without ever asking where you are being led. "The facts are that it will require the united ef- fort of all classes, irrespective of political affinity, to relieve the farmers from the sack load that lays a tax upon every bushel of wheat they sell, says this editor that constantly posing before the public as the special friend of the farmer. Then, why do you stand back and refuse to assist to re move this tax of $40 on every $100 worth of sacks used by the farmers? Why do you raise your voice against it when others attempt to remove this burden? You say that you want to protect the jute manufact urer and therefore you want to keep the duty on. But you have said as stiongly as your limited use of language will allow, that this duty is not added to the price of the sacks. If this is so, is it not possible for you to see, what all others see, then, that the duty does not protect the manu facturer? Is it not possible for you to understand this plain proposition: That if the price of sacks are not increased by 1m posing a duty on Imported ones, t'len the American manufacturer of such sacks re ceives no benefit or protection for his busl- ness by the levying of such duty, and, that so far as he is concerned, it would make no difference in his business whether the duty Is removed or not. Again that paper says: "We are ready and anxious to for ward every effort to lighten the burdens by adopting measures to cheapen the sacks as long as they stay, which they must do for some time, and admitting the raw ma' terial, which is not produced in this coun try, free, is a step in that direction, but the throwing down of the barriers and allow ing a foreign country to govern the prices, unlimited, is not In that direction but in the opposite." It is difficult to be patient read ing such a mess of nonsense. Well, yes, It will be a step in the direction of making sacks cheaper by putting the raw material on the free list, but this cheapness applies only to such sacks as are manufactured here, and as not one in ten is manufactured ."iere the high price remains on all the others, which are imported and made dear er on account of the duty of (140 on every $100 worth brought from abroad. Now, then, here is the most favorable epportunity ever offered to satisfy the anxiety which you groan under to make sacks cheap Just give in your adhesion to the proposal i to'put sacks on the free list and you will then be proving your faith by your works If you are so ready to cheapen sacks why not propose some way to do It? You have offered no method or way to uo it. One of the notable things about the pres ent campaign is that a large number of col. orcd voters arc breaking away from their bondage to the Republican party. It Is estimated 240,000 colored voters in North" ern States will vo' e for Cleveland and Th ur man. Nothing indicates the march of in telligence more among the race than this fact.JIt shows that they have risen above the blind prejudices of the past and are exercis ing their reasoning powers upon political affairs. What utter rubbish it is for Mr. Blaine to assert that the President of the United States and a large portion of of its citizens are engaged in a conspiracy to destroy the Industries of the country.
