DEMAUOGT WILL NOT WIN. Major McKinley Is making the supreme effort of Ills life to be elected governor ot Ohio. This effort he owes to the party that placed him before the people ot that state for that office. But he is under no obligation to his party to resort to the tricks of the demagogue to gain rotes. In his speech at Nile opening his campaign he said: UA revenue tariff such as the democrat ic party advocates can benefit and encour age and build up no domestic industry. It does not encourage labor save in foreign countries. It supplies work for foreign labor and takes it from American labor. It was well conceived to benefit every other nation but this. A revenue tariff would fail to supply the revenue wants of the government, and the failure of th government to secure sufficient revenue, would result In direct taxation. Not alone would this result, but the ludustries of this country would be destroyed and la borers forced to farm and become farmers' competitors. A protective tariff Is one which keeps the treasury full of money, builds up Industries in this country and furnishes employment for labor and at better wages than can be secured any where else or under any other system. Under a protective tariff the public debt has been reduced nearly two-thirds, and state debts have also been reduced. The tariff has not Increased mortgages. It has nothing whatever to do with the question. More than this, the protective system Is a preserver of the home market for the peo ple at home. Reciprocity Is a provision which in no way encroaches upon the protective prlnclple.nor can it In any way destroy or undermine the protective tariff. The statement that the sugar bounty is more burdensome than the tax Is untrue. The bounty will encourage the production of sugar here instead of destroying the in dustry. There has been much criticism about the duty on tinplale and fully as much misrepresentation as criticism. "A revenue tariff does not beneSt and encourage and build up any domestic in dustry" says McKinley. Well, it is not one of the duties of the general govern ment to promote and build up men in their business callings. If It be the duty of the government, In legislating, to encourage and build up one industry, then it should build up the industry and calling of every citizen in the land, for each citizen is en titled to all the privileges and immunities vouchsafed to all other citizens. ThS) statement may be safely made that now here In the constitution of the United States can be found the shadow of warrant authorizing congress to so legislate, by placing restrictions on trade and com merce, as to foster and build up one man's business at the expense of another. This scheme railed protection is violative of the very basic principle of the constitu tion, the eqnality of all men before the law. McKinley presumes to say that no domestic industry in this country could thrive unless 6urrounJed by a Chinese wall of protection. To every true Amer ican, burn with the spirit of American manhood in him, and having faith in Ameilcan pluck, skill, energy, a-d inde pendence of character, such presumption Is the sheerest nonsense. It Is not true that "a revenue tariff would fall to supply the revenue wants of the government," for, unlike a protective tariff It would be o adjusted as to result In a healthy trade with a consequent sufficiency of revsnue. Revenue would be the chief coi.cern in stead of protection, hence this statement is not supported by a single reason. "A protective tariff Is one which keeps the treasury full of money," says this apcstle of protection. Indeed, such arrant non sense is unworhty a sixteen-year-old school boy. McKinley's protective tariff bill found over one hundred million surplus money in the treasury, accumulated there through the rigid economy of the demo cratic administration of Grover Cleveland, but in les6 than six months after the pas sage ot McKinley's ideal protective tariff bill this surplus was swept away and today Charley Foster is in a most perplexing quandary to know how he will pay even the small sum of $30,000,000 to redeem bonis to become due the second of next month. It would be Impossible to keep the treasury full of money with any but a tariff for revenue so long as the country Is sujected to the rule of a billion dollar congress led by Reed and McKinley. "More than this, the piotectlve system is a preserver of the home market for the peo pie at home," snys this defender of the system that robs I'ctcr to py Paul. Hut the truth Is that importations are larger since the passage of the McKinley bill than before, so th'.s protective tariff has not preserved the home market for home people, for If It had, Importations would not have been increased. "Reciprocity Is a provision which In no way encroaches upon the protective prln clole, nor can it In any way desroy or un mine the protective tariff." This is true, If McKinley Is speaking of the reciprocity provided for In his bill, for If Mr Maine should exercise the full extent of his au thorlty under the reciprocity piovided for In the McKinley bill he could not fevnit a si'nWe article of imfvt lobe brought into On. country free of duty that is not already on llit free list, nor could he stiulale that a reduction in duty should he made on any article tf im port no-.o on Ins dutiahle Int. 1 he only au. thoritv which he has is to Impose a duty on coffee, sugar, molasses, tea and hides McKinley Is right. Reciprocity as practiced by Blaine in making treatlen Is like the handle of a jug all on one siile. It In a sham, a delusion, 1. snare. The only effect ot any treaty made under il Is to benefit the great inas of consumers of the foreign country making t', and our on man ufacturers. "The statement that '.he sugar bounty Is more burdensome than than the tax is untrue" says Mc- Kinlcv. Here. then. Is an open, un qualified acknowledgement that the tariff on sugar was a tax. , Verily the campaign of education Is banishing the clouds from even McKinley's mind. But, now, what does McKinley say about the tin tax? Ileielrts: "There has been much criti cism about the duty on tin plate and fully as much misrepresentation as criticism." How lightly he touches It. He handles It in just the wav one would w ho knows that such a burden on the people Is absolutely indefensible. Demagogy may meet with temporary success, hut It will ultimately fall. If "our" Senator, John H Mitchell, should respond to the Macedonian cry of McKinley to come to that state to help elee the great apostle of protectionism, he would find him self in a very awkward predicament. McKin ley denounces free coinage and tikes up the gauntlet for the gold bugs. He boasts that he will make free silver coinage a more prom inent issue than the tariff. Now, our senator is known as one of the great leaders in tne free coinage movement, and the question arises how will he treat the free coinage question. His course will be watched with much inter est by Oregonians. Discussing the magnitude of a "million bushels of wheat," a broker is quoted as say ing: "If 1,000,000 bushels of wheat were loaded on freight cars, 500 bushels to a car, it would fill a train over fifteen miles long If transported by wagon, forty-four bushels on a wagon, it would make a row of teams 142 miles long. If made into bread, reckoning a bushel to every sixty pounds of flour, it would give each man, woman and chile1 in the Uaited States a two-pound loaf." The electric light, which has been utilized to grow flowers and fruits by night or on cloudy days, has recently been employed with good effect on board a West Indian s'.eamer, to keep alive and flourishing some exotic vines and other plants which weie being transported to the West Indies for acclimation. 73 stylos of whlpat O C MeFarland's.
