Ba Cheaper Under ITrue Trade, m* Wh»t This Means ftr Anwricsn lalwr. In his campaign speech at Metropolis, Ml., Gov. Fifer said: Everything else being equal, the past records of the two parties, it seems to me, afford a sufficient reason why the old soldier should vote with the repub­ lican party. That party sympathized with and sustained him in war, and has been his steadfast and consistent friend in peace. Everything else being equal, I believe also that the records of the two parties furnish a sufficient reason why the negro should vote tho. republican ticket. It is concedcd that the repub­ lican party Liberated the KeffN and endowed him with all the rights of an American citizen. It has been the earnest advocate of every measure that would better his condition, and whether it Is conceded or not, the world knows tliat the democratic party contested with bludgeon, steel,and calumny, each step taken in that splendid advance made for the elevation of the colored race; and that same party is to-day opposing by all the means at its command, the passage Of a bill calculated to prevent frauds upon the ballot box, and which will, if it bccomes a law, guarantee to every col­ ored man at the south, the right to cast , one ballot and to have that ballot fairly counted arid its effect registered in the final result. Is it to be wondered at then^ that so many old soldiers and ne­ groes are to-day found within the ranks of the republican party? They are there and they are there to stay, in my judg­ ment, xintil tho democratic party has something better to offer. They will not be driven from their political convictions by a sneer or a taunt that they are light­ ing over the battles of twenty-five years ago. I agree with Gen. Palmer that we should not be influenced by past issues except in so far as they effect present issues. I realize that twenty-five long years have elapsed since the great trag­ edy closed at Appoinatox. A new gen­ eration, with faces toward the rising sun, is already on the stage. The pas­ sions and bitter hates engendered by war are gradually giving way before the bright sunlight of peace. No one re­ joices at this more than I do. I would not want only revive the bitter memo­ ries of a bitter war or stir up the angry passions of men. "Let the dead past bury its dead," and let us go forward with strong arms and resolute hearts into new fields and achieve other victo­ ries for the cause of civilization. I realize as well as anybody that while a good record is preferable to a bad one, yet at the same time a party must have something more to commend it than a record. A party should not only have a good record, but a good prospectus also, and I will concede right now that if any republican, be he black or white, soldier or civilian, believes that the principles advocated by the democratic party would, if adopted, serve the best inter­ ests of this country, then he should un­ hesitatingly vote the democratic ticket. If wo are wrong now, the fact that we have been right in the past will not avail us. If we aro wrong now, we ought to be and ultimately wo will be defeated Gen. Palmer, after knocking down the man of straw set up by him, and after consuming much time in discussing ques­ tions about which there is no dispute, finally reaches the tariff, and here with­ out facts or figures to'bear out his state­ ments, ho charges generally that the people are being robbed; that most of the men engaged in manufacture are "bloodsuckers and leeches," and that the farmer, above all others, is the most op­ pressed man in the land. If not told so in terms, ho is made to believe that the tariff not only increases the price of ar­ ticles he is compelled to buy, but also re­ duces the price of farm products, his only source of revenue. I should like to havo Some Democratic Free Trade Orator before the close of this campaign, ex­ plain, to the people of Illinois, if he can, in what possible way the present tariff reduces tho price of corn, wheat, beef, pork, or any other of the products sold by the farmer. I know that some dar­ ing free traders have attempted to do this. They have said that free trade would stimulate tho manufacturing in­ dustries of the old world and thereby create a market over he»e for our farm products. But this argument is unsatis­ factory andv will not do. We do not want to facilitate the growth of for­ eign manufacture at the expense of oiir own. And it is not the foreign, but tho home market that the farmer most desires. The closer the facory is to the farmer the better. Is there an intelligent farmer in Illi­ nois to-day who seriously believes that had the Mills' bill become a law, prices for farm products would in the past two years have been higher than they have been under the existing tariff? If that measure had passed, what a pickle the democratic party would be in to-day, and the country also, for that matter. But it is insisted that while the tariff may not reduce the price of farm products, It increases the price of all articles the farmer is compelled to buy, and that in this way the tariff oppresses him. And in discussing this branch of the subject it Is marvelous with what facility the average democratic stump orator can demonstrate that the tariff is a tax. which tax is added to the cost of pro­ duction and finally paid by the farmer who buys tho manufactured article for his own consumption. The trouble about this democratic argument is that all articles in general use among our ag­ ricultural and laboring people are in nearly every instance cheaper than they have ever been before. Woolen goods, cotton goods, and all articles of clothing In common use are cheaper than they were in the good old days of Democratic Free Trade back in tho 50's. And the price of those ' articles has gradually declined under a protective tariff. The statistics will show that the price t of farm machinery, tools, and all implements used by the farmer has steadily declined in the past ten years, and that the price of these articles is from one-third to one-half less now than they were in 18S0. That there has been a depression in the business of agriculture in the past two years can not be denied. But that this depression is not duo to the tariff is apparent from what I have said. There has been great depression in agriculture all over the world, and in 110 country has the de­ pression been more keenly felt or occa­ sioned greater suffering than in free- trade England. Experience teaches us that every business has its seasons of de­ pression, and it would be a safe business Indeed that did not have them. Farm­ ing, like every other business, is affected by the law of supply and demand. For t the past two years crops have been good, the supply fttis been great while the de­ mand has been correspondingly weak, and low prices has been the result. The conditions have recently changed, and as a consequence prices are good. At . these times of depression the man who -frmts an office is active. He pretends to be on the side of the common people, and he goes to those who have been un­ fortunate in business, to those in dis­ tress, and tells them that the party in power is responsible for their misfort­ unes. Over the wrongs of the laboring man lie sheds biennial tears freely in ex­ change for votes at the polls, and is will­ ing to swear that all the ills the farmer is heir to, from the ravages of the chinch bug to the ruin wrought by the devastating cyclone, is directly traceable to political causes, and that his imme­ diate elevation to office is the only remedy for existing evils. Such persons have in the past been able to do much harm to the best interests of As rt colt ore and to the real cause of tho laboring man. Happily men like these have, in a large measure, been shorn of their power for evil by the dissemination of knowledge and the growing intelligence of our people, and Othello's occupation is practically at an end. I am well aware that many good peo­ ple honestly differ respecting the tariff. Our free trade friends insist that the tariff builds up vast monopolies, and im­ poverishes the many to enrich the few: that it takes money from the pocket of one class and puts it into the pockets of another; while the protectionist claims that it does nothing of the kind, that it diversifies our industries, keeps our home market for home production, and at the same time protects the American laborer from the unpaid labor of the old world. These are the views held by many honest men, men W'IO are not ?"ekinff §-!d who do not dcsii'c office. The freetrader insists that if his ideas prevail all manufactured articles Will be cheaper, and I am bound to admit that in many instances, temporarily at least, this would be true. But the goods would be cheaper simply because they are manufactured by the cheap labor of the old world, and the effect would be to reduce the wages of the American la­ borer to tho European standard. Cheaper goods can be had, I grant you, for a time, at least, and until our home industries are broken down and home competition destroyed. But you cannot have cheaper goods and living wages for the American laborer at the same time, and it is for the American voters to say which they will have. One would naturally infer from read­ ing democratic platforms and speeches, that the tariff is for the protection of a class and not for the whole people, and that as a consequence a few are accumu­ lating fabulous wealth, at the expense of the other classes of citizens. I am will­ ing to say now that if protection 18" for an individual or a class and not For the Whole I'eople, then I am opposed to it, and will favor its immediate repeal. But our tariff laws do not discriminate against any of our own people. And if our manu­ facturing industries are amassing great wealth, as our democratic friends would Jiave us believe, there is nothing to pre­ vent any individual or class of individ­ uals from going into the same business and getting rich also. Money is cheap; it can be had for 6 and even 5 per cent; the track is clear and I advise our demo­ cratic friends to cotnbine and go into this lucrative business of manufacturing. They will receive encouragement out­ side of the tariff laws. There is 110 im­ portant city in Illinois to-day that would not pay a bonus for locating some thriv­ ing manufacturing industry within its borders. There are several articles that we have a natural facility for manu­ facturing in this country and which we are manufacturing successfully--and ex­ perience has shown that in manufacture of these articles home competition can be trusted to reduce the price to tho lowest point at which the article can be pro­ duced in this country, and this is as cheap as any patriotic citizen should ask to buy it. We have learned from experience also that in the manufacture of manf articles which we should and now do manufacture, we can not compete with the manufacturer of the old world. There arc so many reasons why we can not do so. They have a larger accumulation of capital in the old countries; their industries are better established, and interest is cheaper. But the chief reason why the European manufacturer can undersell the American is the cheapness of labor 011 the other side of the water. And, mark you! we cannot compete with them in the manufacture of these articles un­ less wages in America are reduced to the European standard. And furthermore, the moment we allow our home indus­ tries to be broken down by foreign com­ petition the monopolies and trusts about which we hear so much, will in that evont be removed to the other side of the Atlantic ocean, and we would then learn by sad experience, as has been already learned by the nations trying the experi­ ment, that we would be compelled to pay more for the manufactured articles than they cost before, under the policy of pro­ tection. And again, if our manufactur­ ing industries go down, what is to be­ come of the laborers they employ? They will be thrown out and must seek other lines of industry. If they engage in farming, as many of them would prob­ ably do, they become producers instead of consumers, and that sensitive law of supply and demand would be disturbed, and depression and hard times would be the result. The people should know by this time that no great industry of this nation can be stricken down without the conse­ quences of the act being visited by an unerring natural law upon every other interest. We can not have depressions in one class of industry and prosperity in the rest. And he who wouJd dishon­ estly, by appeals to passion and preju­ dice, attempt to array one class of American producers against another class, in order to attain his own selfish ends, should be treated as the common enemy of American lal>or and American enterprise. There are articles, of course, that we can not successfully produce in this country; such, for instance, as tea, cof­ fee, rubber, and like productions, and in this list I would include sugar also, for it has been conclusively demonstrated that we are unable to raise more than a small fraction of the sugar consumed in this country, and a duty upon it is in effect a tax, and only serves to increase the revenue of tho covernment without developing or increasing its production. If it should ever appear that we can pro­ duce all the sugar we consume, or any­ thing like that amount, it will be time enough then to protect that industry. These articles should be admitted duty free, or on the same terms that non- competing articles of our own production are admitted into tho ports of other; countries. I am in favor of a treaty of reciprocity with Central and South America if it will expand the market for the corn, wheat, pork and beef of the farmer, as it is believed it will do. This, I doubt not, will in time be brought about by the wise statesmanship of the republican leaders in congress and in the cabinet, and, when it does come, it will come of course over the active and persistent opposition of the democratic leaders, and that, too, without any regard to the be­ neficence of the measure. In proof of this I call attention to the opposition of the democratic party in congiess to tho silver bill which recently passed that body--a measure designed to revive bus­ iness, make good times, and thereby ben­ efit the great masses of our people. Tho passage of this bill was opposed by a great majority of the democratic mem­ bers in both houses of congress* It is suspected that they did not want it to pass, fearing it might make better times and thereby injure the political pros­ pects of the democratic party. These men speculate politically on the misfor­ tunes of the country, and I doubt not many of them look with alarm and re­ gret upon the recent advance in the price of farm products. But I cannot dwell longer on the ques­ tion of the tariff. That and other sub­ jects of vital importance were before the American people two years ago, and a verdict was given in our favor. The present congress has sought to carry out in good faith the great principles on which That Victory Was Won, and the fact that plucky Tom Reed, the great leader in the lower house-of con­ gress, has recently been overwhelmingly indorsed by his re-election to congress is evidence that the people are still in sym­ pathy with the republican party. Don't Try to Fowl the Farmer. Our esteemed democratic contempo­ raries will find it exceedingly trouble­ some dealing with agricultural elements this year. It won't do to tell the farmer the republican party lias hurt him.-when for the first time in many years his heart is being gladdened by a positive and what seenis»like a permanent advance in the price of all kinds of farm products.| The farmer is shrewd enough to put two and two together. -- San Francisco Chronicle. , ' THE TRUTH CREPT Inadvertent of a Leading Democratic Newspaper. [Sioux city Daily Times.] < It is hard for a publication to keep Hp with consistency arid any degree of suc­ cess, the dual role of a newspaper and of a democratic organ. The Chicago Herald, which has earned the reputation of the leading democratic newspaper of the west, has perhaps played the farce as successfully as any. It has. generally, been carefully edited. Such news as proved the truth of the republican theory that protection to American industries is a good thing for America, has either been suppressed altogether, or ingeni­ ously twisted and turned in the attempt to deduce false conclusions and to make the exact opposite appear. But the Herald, with all its shrewdness, is hu­ man. and therefore it sometimes errs. Truth will sometimes escape the fatal club of its editor, and creep into its columns. As illustration, we can do no better than to reproduce, with the head­ ing the news editor gave it, a New York dispatch of the lltli Inst., which read in the Herald as follows: SOUTOERX VIEWS OF BECIPROCITT. EX-GOV. WARMOTII, OF NEW ORLEANS, "SATS FREE SUGAR WILL BE RUINED. NEW YORK. Sept. 11.--Ex-Gor. Henry C. W-arnioth, collector of the port of New Or­ leans, was at the Fifth Avenue Hotel to­ day. A reporter asked him how the passage of the tariff bill would affect sugar planters, lie snid: "If the reciprocity amendment Is carried and we have to compete with, tho cheap labor In South America and Cuba, at the end of ten years not impound of sugar will l)e made In tills country. That is just the difference between free trade and pro­ tection. We cannot .compete with pauper labor. The beautiful valley of the lower Mississippi rivor, where thousands of acres are crowded with preen, waving cane, will become a barren waste of rank weeds if free tradeobtains. I do not see why sujrar should be selected to experiment with as an article of reciprocity when it is an Infant industry In this country. Why cannot w^iol or some other article be selected? Why ruin an in­ dustry that is in the condition to be fostered and built up when some older industry might be better able to stand the experi­ ment? We want fair play, and'the original MeKinley bill insures a domieum of pro­ tection at least." It will take the Herald and its demo­ cratic imitators many days to explain this away--to explain riot only how tho Herald became so careless as to print an inkling of the truth, but also to explain in detail the solution of the problems propounded by this democratic ex-gov- ernor of a democratic state. It will take all the Herald's Ingenuity to explain what right democrats, even though they be southern sugar planters, and perhaps ex-brigatjicrs of the confederate army, havo to admit that any American indus­ try can be ruined by competition with foreign pauper labor. The demo­ cratic party of Iowa, in convention assembled, declared that it was "in favor of reciprocity, not alone with the Spanish-American states of Central and South America, but with every country whose ports arc open to our products." But ex-Gov. Warmoutli, of New Orleans, declares that "if we have to compete with the cheap labor in South America and Cuba, at the end of teii years not a pound of sugar will be mac^e in this country." It makes a heap of difference whose ox is gored, doesn't it! "We cannot compete with pauper labor," says ex-Gov. Warmouth, of the grand old state which did so much to uphold demo­ cratic principles in 18(50-65; but the democratic party at large says the talk of pauper labor is republican bosh; that America would be more prosperous and happy with the philanthropic plan of free trade. "I do not see why, sugar should be selected to experi­ ment with as an article of reciprocity, when it is an infant industry," says ex-Gov. Warmouth; but the democratic party at large, headed by its favorite organ in the west, the Chicago Herald, says there are no infant industries in this country; that the in­ dustries which once needed protection have outgrown infancy, and should be made to stand alone. Ex-Gov. War- mouth's construction of the reciprocity plan as regards sugar cannot bo con­ strued in any other way than as a prac­ tical refutation of the theories of the democratic party. If it be argued that, as collector of the port - of New Orleans, he reflects the views and sympathies of the present ad­ ministration it is but necessary to point out that he disagrees with both the theory of reciprocity and the tariff bill as it has just passed the senate. The Chicago Herald lias made a grave mis­ take. It has injudiciously published facts. It has represented, through the mouth of a representative of a southern democratic state, that the infant indus­ tries of America cannot compete with the pauper labor of foreign countries, and that infant industries still exist. It will, indeed, take the Herald many days to explain these things away. POLITICAL NOTES. MR. CLARKsox, speaking about the Quay matter, said "Mr. Quay would not be permitted to resign by the na­ tional committee if he wished to do so. He talked about resigning within a week after the election, but the members would not hear of it.. He has expressed himself to the same effect several times since, but the members hold the same feeling about it now as then." IF the victory in Maine encourages the republicans to pitch in aiid labor earn­ estly and intelligently all over the coun­ try to win in November everyting may be well. If it induces them to believe, however, that ;hey can win without this sort of an effort it is a delusion And a simre.

I would also remark that the style of at­ tire adopted by these young men, while perhaps very becoming, is more suited for tennis court, ball field or bull fight, than for the house of God."
