Mr. De Hart Comment on Grover Cleve
land' Speech,
Editor Independent: Mr. Grpver
Cleveland, of Princeton, N. J., has
made his speech at Morristown, N. J.,
the home cf millionaires and multi
millionaires, and he made it fori the
election of DeWitt Clinton Flanagan,
a millionaire candidate for congress
in the Fifth New Jersey district, run
ning against Charles N. Fowler, au
thor of the Fowler bill; but not one
word did he say for or against the
bill.
The ex-president, in introducing
himself, said:
"I was born in New Jersey. After
long absence, full of incidents and
vicissitudes, I have returned to the
old state, where I hope to pass the re
mainder of my days and find a final
resting place. I have brought back
with me a genuine and undevjating
love, not only for my native state, but
for her old-time, staunch, and vigor
ous democracy. I hope you will not
think such reflections amiss. I feel
in the mood for their mention, not by
why of excuse for my appearance in a
democratic assemblage, which I have
never yet conceded to be necessary,
but because my presence here may be
regarded as not ''strictly consistent
with my determination to consider
myself as retired from the struggles
and activities of political warfare. I
fully recognize the natural order of
things which brings changes in politi
cal leadership and counsel, and I do
not assume to nave a place in either
role; but nothing, I care not what, can
- drive or tempt me from my adherence
to the unadulterated, wholesome, and
beneficial principles of genuine dem
ocracy. I am told that these prin
ciples of the good, old-fashioned New
Jersey brand are involved in a can
vass hert pending in my native state
and in the state I delight to call my
home, and I have indluged my desire
to come here and enjoy the stimulation
and pleasure which 1 have never failed
to find in hearty and harmonious
democratic struggle."
Then coming to what he regards as
the unadulterated, wholesome, and
beneficial principles of genuine dem
ocracy, he says?
"I am especially pleased to learn that
tariff reform has been, jnade the prin
cipal issue in the canvass you have in
hand. Never within my observation
or experience has there been a time
when thi3 should be more earnestly,
persistently, and honestly pressed upon
the attention of our countrymen than
now.
"Of course, custom duties must con
tinue to be the source of government
maintenance until another plan is de
vised; but a tariff, constructed for the
purpose, of protection as its chief ob
ject is ac. all times and in every feature
of it, an unjust and unfair burden
upon the masses of our people; and the

bold and arrogant developments of its
unfairness and in lustice in recent
years, and the new directions they
have taken,, ougut now to especially
arrest tha attention and apprehension
of every thoughtful, sober-minded
citizen.
"It was not long aeo that the demo
cratic party In advocating the reduc
tion of tariff taxation to the revenue
needs of the government, based its
Insistence largely upon the right and
Justice of cheaDenine for the masses
of our people the prices of the necessi
ties or lire, and withdrawing so much
protection from a favored few manu
facturers as , allowed them abnormal
profits at the expense of the great body
of the consumers. But the. exactions
from the people on account of protec
tion were made in such a stealthy and
unobserved manner, by adding them
to their daily purchases, that it was
difficult to impress unon the consum
ers of the land the extent of these ex
actions. While "this process was go
ing on imported articles not produced
in this country were charged with
such high rates of duty as not only to
greatly enhance their cost to the pur
chasing consumer, but to create a sur
plus revenue beyond its needs in the
government treasury. This surplus
represented clearly and definitely a
small proportion of the unnecessary
added expense of the living of our
people on account of high protection;
and its aggregate was ascertainable;
but the amount of the exaction thus
represented was insignificant as com
pared with the amount which protec
tion permitted our own manufacturers
to pocket from the consumer."
You can see. no one can helD but
see, that what Cleveland calls "tariff
reform" is a "tariff for revenue onlv "
He cares nothing for the revenue of
tne citizen, it is all for the revenue of
the government at Washington. He
has not one word to say with respect
to any other principle of government.
Although he speaks of the "unadulter
ated, wholesome, and beneficial man
ciples of genuine democracy," yet he
cannot think of any principle, except
a tar in system of taxation for gov
ernment revenue only. Not one word
can ne say in favor of a tariff that
seeks to Drotect American lahnr
against competition of foreign labor.
or American capital against the com
petition or toreign capital, or our
American industries against foreign
industries. To such a tariff he ob
jects, because, as he says, it supports
trusts.
It does not occur to Mr. Cleveland
that while he is advocating "tariff re-
iorm, apparently, for electing Mr.
Flanagan to congress, and that while
Mr. Fowler is advocating a protective
tariff for the purpose of replying to
Mr. Cleveland and of keeping himself
in congress, much more important
principles of democracy are neglected.
Is it true, as some think, that Cleve
land is shifting the argument from
tne currency to the tariff for the pur
pose of keeping Mr. Fowler in con
gress, not ror the sake of voting for a
protective tantt, but tor pushing the
Fowler bill? and that he talks tariff.
not fcr having Flanagan in congress to
vote tor a revenue tariff, but for the
Fowler bill? I cannot undertake to
sit in judgment upon Mr. Clevelanl's
motives, but the result will be, that
if Fowler is elected then there will be
a vote for the Fowler bill: and if Flan
agan is elected, there will be a vote
ror tne bowler bill. There have been
such tricks played in politics, and it
is not at all improbable that Cleveland
knows what he is doing, and that he
sees in tne Fowler bill a measure of
tar more importance than a revenue
tariff, although he is teaching that
"tariff reform" deserves to be ranked
among the "unadulterated, wholesome,
and beneficial nrincinles nf cennlno
democracy," and that nothing else is,
comparatively, or any importance
not even the Fowler bill is to be men
tioned. If we are compelled to lay aside the
income tax and the money question,
and must confine the discussion to the
comparative merits of a republican tar-
ih ana a tariff which Mr. Cleveland's
wing of the democracy will give us.
then I would say, give us the republi
can tariff. -
A republican protective tariff, if it is
true to the principle of protection, will
give us free trade in all commodities
which we cannot produce; and low
prices for all such commodities. It
will impose high duties on all foreign
commodities, the like of which we can
produce; and, perhaps, the prices of
these commodities will be high.
A Cleveland democratic revenue tar
iff will put high duties on all goods
which we do npt produce; and this
will make very high prices for all such
commodities. It will produce a large
amount of revenue for the govern
ment, as long as the high duties are
paid.
A Cleveland democratic revenue tar
iff will also put low duties on such
commodities as we produce, and great
quantities of such goods will come in,
and there will be a large amount of
revenue for the government although
tho duties are low. These low duties
will not only invite the foreign com
peting goods to come in, but they will
come in at low prices and our mills
and factories will have to close down,
unless the workmen are willing to
work at low wages. The government
will have plenty of revenue as long
as our people are able to pay high
prices for the foreign goods which we
cannot produce, and low prices for the
foreign goods, the like of which we can
produce and ought to be producing.
But, if our people are thrown out of
work by importation of foreign com
peting goods and they have no wages,
then they will not be able to buy
either the' goods which we cannot pro
duce or those which we can produce,
and the government will have no
revenue, even with a tariff which is
maue for revenue only.
Such is the practical working,of the
two antagonistic systems of tariff tax
fit'tn. TJnder the republican protec
tive system, the people are more likely
to have, work, because foreign goods
which we can produce, are kept out by
hign tariff duties. The first essential
is work. The next essential is good
wages. These two essentials secured,
ot'i people can live in great comfort
under a protective tariff than under a
tarifT for revenue only, which will
bring in foreign goods we cannot pro
duce, at high prices; and foreign
goods, we can produce, at low prices;
besides under a revenue tariff there
will not be so much work to do, and
the wages for what little is done must
be low. There may be revenue for
the government, but none for the peo
ple. As long as Mr. Cleveland and men of
his way of thinking persist in advo
cating a tariff for revenue only and
iri insisting that such a tariff is bet
ter than a protective tariff and that
the elections, as they come around,
ought to turn on this point, to the
exclusion of all other questions, (an
income tax and the money question
especially), the people of this country
will vote for protection and for keep
ing tho republicans in power at Wash
ington. Mr. Cleveland objects to a protec
tive tariff on the ground that it pro
duces monopolistic trusts. If this is
true, we had better have work, with
good wages, under a protective tariff
and the trusts, than no work and star
vation under a revenue tariff and no
trusts.
The. time may come for free trade,
w'th an income tax for revenue only,
but never for a tariff for revenue only.

I Will Cure You of
Rheumatism
Else No Money is Wanted.
After 2,000 experiments, I have
learned how to cure Rheumatism. Not
to turn bony joints into flesh again;
4 that is impossible. But I can cure tho
disease always, at any stage, and for
ever. I ask for -o money. Simply write
me a postal and I will send you an or
der on your nearest oruggist for six
bottles Dr. Shoop's Kheumatic Cure,
for every druggist keeps it Use it
for a month and, if it succeeds, the
cost is only $5.50. If it fails, I will
pay the druggist myself.
I have no sam; .es, because any med
icine that can affect Rheumatism
quickly must be drugged to the verge
of danger. I use no such drugs, and
it is folly to take them. You must
get the disease out of the blood.
My remedy does that, even in the
most difficult obstinate cases. No
matter how impossible this seems to
you, I know it and take the risk. I
have cured tens of thousands of cases
in this way, and my records show that
39 out of 40 who get six bottles pay
gladly. I have learned that people in
general are honest with a physician
who cures them. That is all I ask.
If I fail I don't expect a penny from
you.
Simply write me a postal card or. a
letter. I will send you my book about
Rheumatism, and an order for the
medicine. Take it for a month, as it
won't harm you anyway. If it fails,
it is free, and I leave tue decision
with you. Address Dr. Shoop, Box S40,
Racine, Wis.
Mild cases, not chronic, are often
cured by one or two bottles. At all
druggists.
Japanese Up To Date.
There are thousands of people scat
tered all over the United States who
believe that a people the color of whose
skin is different from theirs can never
be their equals in anything. A good
many of them have nothing about
them upon which to base their claim
for superiority except the color of
their skin. The Japanese have recent
ly given the whole world a lesson how
to stop the spreading of a .plague, with
out suffering or privation to any one
and do it most effectively. The bubonic
plague recently appeared at Yokohama
and the measures taken to stop its
spread proved effective. As soon as
the first case had been authenticated,
a military cordon was established
around the whole district involved.
When the residents of that district,
several blocks in area, awoke the next
morning they found themselves walled
in by a substantial board fence eight
feet high, closely guarded. A price
was set on rats and some 2,000 were
destroyed in the quarantined quarter.
Not content with cutting off this
district, however, the authorities de
termined to remove its position bodily,
and started to build accommodation
at Kanagawa fort, an elevated point
across the bay from Yokohama. Tem
porary buildings were run up, and the
people taken there. Their houses in
town will probably be burned.
The government undertakes the sup
port of all the 1,240 persons in the
quarantine district. The expense of
this for twenty days considered neces
sary is placed at $20,000.
The greatest precaution is taken to
prevent the spread of the disease to
other towns. The population is for
bidden to walk barefooted, and in
nocent offenders are stopped and
warned by the police. Passengers by
the local trains are subjected to health
inspection.
