Wht Democrat. SOMIISTBV. INDEED. The Tlmtt-MtumlainKr tediously labors through 1 long article. ittemptingt reply to the Immovable and convincing argu ment in aver of tariff reduction and re vision, and, in dsing so, works in more jphiitrr and Illogical deduction than we have met with for a long time. It says the tariff on wool, wheat, oa:.pota'.oei and o Jitr vegetables doe not enhance the price oa the home products. It follows this up with the statement that the Mdutr on wool simp.'y keeps the cheap product of Austra iia ar.d South America out of the market" Was ever the public subjected to such a mess of ophitry and subterfuge ? It is absolutely unworthy of the name of argu ment, and we are surprised that the AA Uuntrrt which is usually so candid on other subjects, should be so utterly destitute of candor in treating of the tariff question. But. upon rejection, we are compelled to admit that no man can be logical and can did while attempting to defend protection for protection's sake. Let us see. If the tariff upon wool does not enhance its val ue, then there is no protective features In the wool dutyTa&d wool groweis would not be affected by the removal of theduty. If ur wool growers are not enabled to sell their product at a higher figure than they could obtain if the duty were removed,thea the placing of the duty is a mere act of foolishness. The Mtuntmmtr is right when It tart the duty of 20 cents a bushel on wheat does not add to the price of bread stuffs, but with equal candor it might have said, and should have said, that it adds nothing to the price of wheat, but it here again attempts to cover ap a weak point in its owa argument by saving that "it simply ac's as a protection to our farmer and keeps the wheat of Manatoba from , towering the price of the local product." Now if this statement means anything at all, it means that our farmers sell their wheat at a better price on account of the tariff keeping Manatoba wheat from low ering the price of the local product, and if our farmers sell their wheat at a better price on account of the tariff, then the price of Hour ("bread ctuffs") would be corres pondingly hlgner, for the increase or de crease in the price of wheat will carry with it the increase or decrease of the price of flour.which knocks all the props from un der our co temporary. The Mountaineer with its usual sophistry on this question gives the tariff credit for steel rails being so much cheaper now than they were at the close of the war, but every man who has beef at all observant knows that the immense amount of railroad building which followed the close of the war creat ed a ery great demand for steel rails, which in turn induced capitalists to engage in their manufacture, which, aided by the new and cheaper methods of production, brought the prices down.and this followed as the result of the demand for steel rails and net as he result of the tariff. When a democratic congress ten years ago put quinine on the free list a howl went up from protectionists all over the land that that industry would be ruined. What was the result ? Now we have fifteen large manufactories where we had but one then and all prospering Quinine sells now for 75 cents per ounce, while then it sold for $5 per ounce. 93T0F GIAB.

The man who finished the job for "Poor Tanner was Ben Harrison, who, by the grace of ISlxks-of-Five Dudley and Wan namaker's "faco.ooo string," '13 president of Ike I'ni'.ed S res, In spite of the fact that there is an aver age duty of 49 per cent on wool and 6S per Cent on woolens.the manufacturers in con vention assembled agreed to cry foi more. That i,thse who were there present by a majority vote so decided.preferring to bleed the consumers rather Mian risk offending the wool growers and Delano. The condi tion of the woolen business demands that one of two things shall he done either take the tariff tai off of raw materials, or increase the duty on woolens, so say the expertMnd perhaps upon thisall will agree, but all will not agr-e that the price of cloth Ing and blankets shall be increased rather than diminished. THEN. WHY. The tariff on clothing and blankets docs not increase their price. A suit of clothes can be bought as cheaply in the United States as in England Pendleton Triiumt. QThen why. in the name of all that is reasonable, sensible, candid and logical .do you want a duty on blankets and clothes for .' If the tariff do's not increase the price of these articles, the home manufac turer cannot be injured by the removal of this tariff, because, according to your own argument, he will have to meet the same foreign competition with the tariff on as with the tariff off. But this is the inevita ble dilemma into which everv one will be placed who attempts to defend protection for protection's sake. THE tlLEl-rtUNS, As predicteJ by the Democrat the re publicans elect their s ate ticket, congress man and legislatures in Washington and the two DakoU's by large majorities. The democrats have evidently carried Monta na, though republicans claim it in doubt. The constitutions in all four territories are advpted. Woman suffrage and prohibi tion are defeated in Washington. Prohi bition is adopted in South Dakota and de feated in North Dakota.
