LOOK A MT1 1.K llKKI'Klt. The Ileiald says: In a recent lecture Mr Ingalls said that millionaire in this country existed be cause they had more brains than their fellow men and by virtue of thti brain power were enabled to accumulate their millions. The fact l that no more erroneous con clusion was ever arrived at by Mr Ingalls. It I not a mark of superiority of brain power, when a man has the control of all the Hour manulactured In the world to add a few cents per pound above its actual worth, to the price and force starving peo ple to pay that price, and thus produce his millionaire possessions. It might perhaps be called cunning, and It does at present command admiration as shown in tne at titude of both Mr Ingallsand the Orco-o-nian bjt carefullv subjected to a Dloeen- fan lantern scrutiny acid It bears more of the impress ut the stand and deliver ot tne highwayman. Indeed, our cotemporary is right so far st It goes, but unfortunately It skims the thell but never reaches tne kernel. When a man has a "corner," a monopoly on trade,lt requires no great amount of brains to enable him to take advantage of it and soon to emerge into a millionaire. When one man or one set of men have this ad- Tantage, then indeed do all others suffer. The protective tariff is a scheme gotten up expressly to give certain men this monop oly in trade that they may become "mil lionaires." For instance, the theory of protection Is that we wilt shut out certain articles from our market. That gives the American manufacturer of that article the monopoly of the market and hence he can advance his prices or keep them from de clining as they would do, frequently, un der healthy competition, and thus compel all consumers of that article to pay tribute to him. Of course the protective tariff can not protect or benefit the consumer and as the consumer Is the most numerous class of all classes of our people the many are thus made to suffer for the benefit of the lew. This is the very quintessence of protectionism. As the Hmtltl say s of the man who controls the flour market, so the scheme of protection "bears the impress ot the stand and deliver of the highway man." The whole system of legislation of the Herald's party has been to pu the control of the markets and trade in the hands of the few, knowing full well that It does not require any "superiority of brain power to add a few cents" to the yard, pound or other measure of the arti cle to be sold. It is not a matter of sur prise that under this system the classes have become wealthy while the masses have remained In the clutches of poverty. Miller Purvis formerly state lectuier for the Farmer's Alliance of Ohio, and now editor of the Allia.nct Herald in that state aays: "I am an old republican and I believe in the old principles of the party still. But the party has abandoned its principles and 1 can't stand by it. "There are 100,000 republicans in Ohio in the same boat with me, and I know that at least fifty thousand will have back bone enough to vote against McKinley. "The majority against McKinley will be the largest eve recorded against a can didate In Ohio. It will exceed the mem orable ioj.ooo against Vallandigham, just after the war. "The people's party will poll at least 100,000 votes. I doubt whether the head of the ticket will have so large a vote, but the aggregate In the counties will probabiy exceed 100,000," If the theory of the Orefonian and oilier republican journalists be correct that a good crop and fair prices would disband the alliance, then as a business scheme would It not be wise for that party to ex pend their campaign funds In advancing the price of wheat? The very fact that the financiers of the G. O. P. (and they have some very good ones) do not so, is the emptiest kind of buncomb. Let a few of the more wealthy class of politicians raise the price of wheat to five dollars a bushel, and if the theory be good, you have dug a grave so deep for the alliance that a grave-robber would not waste time In looking for It. This is certainly a fine field for Investment and we wonder that the party don't take advantage of ft. Ad vantt. Notwithstanding all the talk that is from time to time floated around concern ing Ihe objections and alleged antipa thy of the farmers to Cleveland and the preference of North Carolina for Hill, one of the eminently intelligent and conserv atively correct nen In the state has iccent ly staled that conversations with the Tar Heel farmers have irresistibly brought him to the conviction that they will not have any one else for president except Cleveland. Traits which have alienated the profesHlonal politicians from him are just what Hie firmer most approve. With no little force they say that he has been tried, and they know what sort of a man he is. Their view of it is certainly reas onable and sensible. Has the casual reader obrerved how mule the Orcgflnrnn and other republican organs are on the subject of the spoils system? They are as silent as the dead on the subject. How these organs did rail at Cleveland, charging him with following Jackson's example of turn ing oul liis enemies and puUing in his fiieiuls. Now, that llariisor. has outdone all his prede cessors in tlie 1'.imuc.s uf rewarding his lulni . cal friends wiih llie A'tii-ce, these or.ins arc supremely lot .nppily silent. What was a crime under Cleveland, i . done daily as n mailer ol cauise under Hirritjn: 1,1 U-.i.t this is tlic way ihe 0:.in mak: up th- case.
