'TKOTKITIOX" AND WAUEJ.
Protectionist profess lo bcilcve that a
high tariff secures good wages to laborers,
and this fact they have n.aintalnd was the
main reason for adopting protection as a
national policy. That the protection svstem
has nothing to do in securing good wages
to labor people is so plain that resort to
proof is hardly necessary any more.
Gladstone and other English economists
show by history and statistics that ag-s
in England have been much better since
that nation adoDted "free trede" than be
tore under protection. Wages todjv are
much better in England where"fiee trade"
prevails than in any of England's ,ie!gh
bors, (France, Spain, Germany, Italy,
Russia etc.,) where the protec ivj policy
prevails. Wages are good in the United
Statett not as the result of protection, but
despite of h. No manufacturer in the ln
ted States pays any better wages because
he is protected. When he employs labor
he does like all other people. He hires as
cheaply as lit can. And to 6uch an extent
have manufacturers Mudied the subject
that In many places in the east they have
wages reduced down to the living point for
laborers who aie completely in their po.v
er. Everything else is protected except the
laborei himself. Foreign labor may come
In free from England, France, Germany,
Russia etc., and compete with our home
laborers without question, and the manu
facturer raises no objection, and why?
Simply because he knows well that more
laborers means cheaper labor, and that is
what he wants. But when it comes to
bringing into this country from foreign
countries the product of cheap foreign la
bor the manufacturer objects, and why?
Simply because he knows th&t more goods
means cheaper goods and this he does not
want. The great desire of his heart Is to
have cheap labor and hihpriced goods,
for In that is his great piofit. In this he I j
not different from ct.er men. Cut do la- I
oor people a.ul consumers generally waist
to fee cheap labor and l:lh priced goods?
Certainly not for herein U the great burden
of life. But what do we see? The man
ufacturer knowi that no protective tariff
law on commodities can ever protect labor
or make wages good. 13 ut he knows, that
thcmoie foreign ood are kept out of thU
country by the tariff nm-ans a greater de
mand for liis own, and the greater the i.e
mand the greater the price may be. And
In this is his profit, lie does not wr.nt to
compete whh the foreign manufacturer in
selling hU floods and thus he calls o;i the
strong arm of the government to help Mm
keep out the foreign product hile he
his own lo the 65 million consumers o:
America at sucn prices as the restricted
supply may justify. Tvo classes of men
In tiiis country have been saJiv hood
wi.:!;ed by the cry of piotcction laoor
per-, -ie and the great consuming clashes.
XniV und.T our fjrm of government a
consumer i-i entitled to the same privileges,
im minifies and rights of citizenship as is
the manufactmer. Then why should the
government so legislate as to compel ths
consumer to pav th; manufacturer a i
greater price for his goods under a ni- !

o excuse or justification. The whole
scheme of protection should b; attacked
from top lo bottom and eradicated from
our 6ystem of legislation. Whatever
dutiea are levied upon imported gcc;ds
should be for the purposes of revenue onlv.
The 6ooncr the people thus come up and
assert their rights as Atnciican citizens the
better it wl'l be for the perpetuity of our
form of governmtmt.

T1IKCOST OFCLOTUINQ
There arc no illusions among the merchant
tailors of this country ns to whether the tar
iff is a tax. In a petition addressed to ?on
gross asking to have the nir.nlier of suits of
clothes admitted free of duty limited to two,
for returning tourists, the tailors say:
I'mler this ruilingit was. possible to enter
free of duly vast quantities of forein-miide
garments which liad never been actually in
use, and which were so imported solely lie-
cause there exists a relative difference of at
leiist 50 percent, in values between tlie cost
of made-up garments in the UniteJ States
and Europe, which difference has been far
titer enhanced by certain other provisions
under the tariff on woolen cloths of the net
of October 1st, 1890, ns aforesaid, thus sav
ing to the purchaser of garments abroad.
more than one-half of their actual value up
on arrival within the United States ihitv
free.
Kvery one who lias bought clothing al iroad
knows this to be true. And yet the t .i'u!
orators of protection of the Howell G 1: orr
stamp, and dishonest republican new.-pu
pers, paraue t::e low prices ot Ameruan
ihoddy and sweatshop clothing' as evidence
that clothing is as cheap here as it is in
England.
Any man of common seme knows that
the duty of 49lj cen's a pound and 6) per
cent of value levied on woolen clothing by
the abominable McKinley tariff must change
its cost. Our merchant tailors admit that
when a returning tourist brings home a suit
of clothing without paying duty he "saves
more than one-half of its actual value."
Poor people, and oven people. in moderate
.circumstances the great mass of Americans
cannot go abroad for their clothing. And
they are compelled by the Mckinley ac
either to wear shoddy or to pay JO per cent
more than its value for honest wool cloth
inir. This is only one of a thousand wrongs and
wimlk'.s which t!u democratic parly is
bound to correct. Kvansville Courier
SUI"l:tHE.Il'IHiK.
Tiierc sift two republicans on tlte supreme
bs'.c'i of this stale at present, the only deal,
oerat retiring. This branch of our govern
ment should be kept ns fro? from politics nK
possible. AVere we even willing to concede
that the respective candidates before the
people, were Cfpial in every respect, the rot
ors, irrespective of pariv. should elect the
democratic nominee. 'I he purity cf the
liench is more import:'!-,; than its political
complexion. The democrats have nominat
ed an able lawyer and a pure man. Tn r.nil-
ters of legal ability he

ranks of his profession. As an honest
honorable citizen le i.-- e.-toeined by all
and
wlio
know him. Aside from the fact that he is
the superior in leg-.i! abiiily to his opponent
it is bad poiicyto make the bench political
and were there two deal ), rats on that bench
t'idav, the .-(irc.i would discountenance
(he nomination of a democrat as it did in
the case of the two judges in this district.
We have politics enough without reaching
to the tribunal of final resort. Judge lieir
neii ought to be elected and no doubt will
be. I'ortliuid ; .it.'.
