This is a year to emphasize protection
to American interests in short, repub
licanism. A new 8-story building in New York
city collapsed during the recent wind
storm, seriously hurting many persons
and killing seven.
Lincoln city script of the issue of
1879 was passed recently at Nebraska
City by two boys, who wore arrested oil
the charge of passing counterfeit money.
Dr. Rodx claims that he has found a
cure for croup, using an injection of
serum from the blood of a horse, inocu
lated with the cultivated microbes of
croup.
Frank McCmntock, an old printer
who lives at Grand Junction, Colo., has
invented and disposed of a type-sotting
machine and spacing appliance, for
850,000.
The loss by fire of the Morse-Coe
company's building at Omaha was S100,
000. The walls of the building are
practically uninjured up to the top of
the third story.
At the session of the grand lodge
Knights of Pythias of Nebraska at Lin
coln last week, Lewis W. Sherman of
Aurora was elected grand chancellor for
the ensuing term.
Charles Lutsox, convicted of bur
glarizing the residence of C. H. May of

the tariff which shall protect the homes
and fire-sides of America against all the
world." Wm. McKinley.
Mrs. Ella Peattie has been nomi

school board and is sure to be elected.
She is a woman with remarkable strength
of character and an honor to our state.
Vote for F. H. Penney, the republican
candidate for representative of Platte

of ability, an honorable man in every
respect, and will fitly represent the
district.
A bear-end collision occurred at Blair
Saturday night on the Elkhorn in the
yards. No one was hurt, but six box
care were totally demolished, and one
engine badly used up. Loss to the rail
road company, 85,000.
At West Point forty-three boys were
arrested and fined $325 each for char
ivarxng an old gentleman and his young
bride. The boys will have six days'
board and lodging in the jail as part of
their fun, the city paying the bill.
John M. Thurston last week accepted
the challenge of W. J. Bryan to discuss
the questions at issue between the re
publican and democratic parties, and
Lincoln for last evening and Omaha,
Oct 18th, were named for the meetings.
William Schelp, the populist candi
date for senator from this district, has
declared publicly that his first choice for
U. S. senator is W. J. Bryan. Zentmyer
also thinks Bryan is a pretty good man,
bat he doesn't be so positive about his
vote.
The Fremont Herald says that Hon.
W. H. Hunger was urgently pressed by
the congressional committee to take the
nomination for congress, but he steadily
declined. The Herald says that after
Judge Hensley grows weary of the "mul
titadinous responsibilities" of congress
man, he can resign in Munger's favor.
8o! ,
No man bas Jet had a word to say
gainst the personal character of P. J.
Mmrpby, the republican candidate for
.,., fmm t.Ms district. A business
nan of Rodgers, conversant with the
'interests of" the voters of Colfax and
Platte, he will be able to do the fair
thing in the way of legislation for his
jXMMtitoents.
The editor of the Cedar Rapids Com
mercial travels over the state a great
deal and is conversant with many mat
ters of local interest that escape the
common run of the fraternity. In
speaking of the Holcomb ticket and
that of the democracy which is seeking
to combine with the populists, he de
clares that "men claiming to be demo
crats but who for the last few years
have voted the pop ticket rushed to the
primaries and elected men of their own
ilk to the county convention and in this
manner a majority of delegates to the
state convention were secured in favor
of fusion." The commercial continues:
"It i'b a notorious fact that there are
numerous instances in which the same
individual served as delegate to both
the pop and democratic conventions and
by this kind of double-dealing Bryan
was given full swing to use the conven
tion for what he considered his own
interest regardless of the true interests
of the democratic party. When these
facts are considered it is not difficult to
see that the action of the democratic
convention is more in the nature of ji
bluff than anything else and that this
attempted bluff is exceedingly likely to
result in a lioomerang."
The American people are greatly
averse to being held in political bondage
of any sort, and especially distasteful to
them is it that their supposedly free
political action is turned against them,
and distorted to personal and private
uses.
Our candid opinion is that the com
mon people among the democracy of
Nebraska are overwhelmingly in favor
of Bryan for U. S. senator as against
such a man as J. Sterling Morton, or
any other Cleveland democrat, but when
Bryan saw that his ambition could suc
ceed only by fusion with the populists,
and proceeded to give the democracy
away to them, he struck a gait which
the common people among the democ
racy of Nebraska are not by any means
accustomed to travel, and many of them
will not think of traveling, just to please
Bryun, and further his political ambi
tion. As an outsider looking on the fight,
we cannot much blame Bryan for seek
ing victory over the men who sat down
on him so hard a year ago, the federal
brigade, but wo think that he has called
to his aid an element that will in the
end "do him up." If Holcomb should
happen to be elected governor, he may
possibly, and as a consequence, be elect
ed senator.
A few extracts from Wm. McKinley's
speech on the Gorman Tariff will make
interesting and profitable reading at this
time forourvoting patronage. He says:
After most bitterly denouncing the bill
they have just passed, democratic lead
ers and press console themselves by de
claring that the new law, after all, is
better than the act of 1890. Better for
whom? Better for what? Better in
what particular? Not better in its free
liet. Not better in its dutiable list. Not
letter for the United States. Not better
for American industries. Not better for
American labor. Not better for the
American farmer. Where has it given
hope? Whose factories will it set to
work? It has improved, confessedly im
proved, no American intereste, unless it
bo the sugar and whiskey trusts. It will
not start a single new factory at home.
It will not light a solitary new fire at
home. It will not increase the demand
for labor at home. Whatever hope it
rtnngB Is toine Hlfen and the stranger.
Whatever industry it quickens lies be
yond the seas; it is not located beneath
our Hag. Better than the law of 1890!
A law under the operation of which
every man in this country wa6 employed
at good wages! Every factory was run
ning at its full capacity and the con
sumer was receiving the necessaries of
life cheaper than he had ever before!
Does any thoughtful man believe that
the law of 1891 will ever restore these
happy conditions here iu the United
States? The law of 1890 was enacted for
tho American peoplo and the American
home. Whatever mistakes were made
by it wore all in favor of the occupations
and the firesides of the American people.
It didn't take a single day's work from a
solitary American workingman. It gave
work and wages to all such as they had
never had before. It did it by estab
lishing new and great industries in this
country, which increased the demand for
the skill and handiwork of our laborers
everywhere. It had no friends in
Europe. It gave their industries no
stimulus, it gave no employment to their
labor at the expense of our own, and
this cannot be truthfully said of the law
of 1894.
Well ! Wei 1 ! ! How these democratic
brethren do dwell together, but not in
unity! The Humphrey Democrat, says
to and of the Columbus Telegram, both
democrats, but of totally different
brands:
In speaking of the action of the dem
ocratic state convention, Col. Parks of
the Columbus Telegram, says: "It
(fusion) is an exceedingly bitter pill to
take, but down it goes."
The fact of the matter is that the pill
does not go down with Mr. Parks, but
has stuck in his throat, as did the for
bidden fruit in the throat of Papa Adam.
And nothing appears so forbidden, look
ing at it from a republican stand-point,
as Mr. Parks does, as fusion, especially
when it savors of democratic success.
Col. Parks even goes so far as to say
openly (in a whisper) that he is a Bryan
man, even after refusing to wear a
Bryan badge tendered him at the Oma
ha convention. He also takes pains in
giving out the democratic state ticket
to the people to mark every one of the
candidates whom the democrats en
dorsed "pop," for fear that some hard
shell might give a fusion candidate his
vote in mistake, and Holcomb one in
stead of Majors.
If Parks can help Majors and Meikle
john out under the cloak of straight
democracy, he is going to do so and
don't you forget it.
The Fremont Tribune has the follow
ing in regard to Ifensley's nomination
for congress:
"Mr. Thomas could see no star of hope
ahead and so he dunked. Judge Hens
ley isn't much of a star gazer, any way,
but he is willing to chase a rainbow and
has promised to adhere to the ticket.
He has been a newspaper man, county
judge of Platte county two or three
terms and postmaster at Columbus un
der Cleveland's first administration. He
belongs to the free-silver wing of de
mocracy, smokes a corn cob pipe and
spits through his teeth."
The Argus says that "the fight in this
district is clearly between Meiklejohn
and Devine. A vote cast for any other
man is clearly a half vote in favor of
Meiklejohn." There are populists who
differ with the Argus in this opinion,
and who declare that already, the con
test is between Hensley and Meiklejohn.
For our part, it looks clear that the
present congressman will succeed himself.
Progress in the iron industry steadily
traces the line of progress in civilization.
Of all our great industries, this is third
in the amount of capitol and men em
ployed. The protective policy has de
veloped wonderfully, onr resources of
iron and coal; since 1883, this increase
has been so marked as to attract univer
sal attention. In that year the contract
was signed for the increase of our navy,
and there was not a single mill in the
country that had ever made plates re
quired in the specifications; there was
no foundry suitable to turn oat the work,
no forges for the same and no plant that
could make the armor plates. Since
then facilities for work have so increased
that there are now shops and yards
which can produce of the highest qual
ity, any quantity of work demanded by
our navy, in steel, brass or iron. With
out a protective policy this could not
have been done we would still be sub
ject to British rule, and wonld have been
buying a great deal of onr iron goods
from London. Republican policy means
protection to American interests, the de
velopment of our own natural resources,
diversified industries for our own people,
plenty of work, good paying wages for
that work, and a home-like country for
every acre over which the flag floats. A
vote for Becher, Penney and Murphy
will help send a protection senator from
Nebraska to the U. S. senate, whose vote
will be given in the interest of American
farmers and business men instead of
those of foreign lands.
Many people are in the habit of com
plaining bitterly of the intrusion of the
newspaper reporter into every nook and
corner of the state, and even into the
privacy of home; but in this eitreme
publicity is really to be found a new
means of social, industrial and govern
mental reform and progress. As Emer
son said, "Light is the best policeman.'
There are many exaggerations, perver
sions and inaccuracies in this publicity;
but on the whole it is a beneficent and a
new agency for the promotion of public
welfare. Publicity exposes not only
wickedness, but also folly and bad judg
ment. It makes crime and political cor
ruption more difficult, and far less
attractive. Tho forger, burglar and cor
rnptionist need secrecy for two reasons
first, that they may succeed in their
crimes; and, secondly, that they may
enjoy the fruits of their wickedness,
The most callous sinner finds it bard to
enjoy the product of his sin, if he knows
that everybody knows how he came by
it. No good cause ever suffered from
publicity no bad cause but instinctive
ly avoids it. So new is this force in the
world that many people do not yet trust
it, or perceive its immense utility.
Chae. W. Eliot, in October Forum.
"I have been trying for fifteen years,
said the governor, "to get somebody to
tell me why the foreigners should enjoy
the same privileges in the markets as the
American citizen; upon what principle
the 'foreign producer should enjoy the
same privileges as the American produ
cer. Yet there is a party in this conn
try that has inaugurated a policy which
gives to the foreigners equal privileges
with the citizens of the United StateB.
I say no, forever no. Tho foreigner is
3,000 miles away. He owes no allegiance
lu our Hajr. and ho does -not contribute
one cent to the support and maintenance
of this government, while our people uot
only do this, but when occasion calls,
contribute tho best blood of their 6ons,
their fathers and their husbands, to
preserve the nation of free men."- Gov.
McKinley.
"See how thoughtful the democratic
tariff reformers have leen for the welfare
of the American workingman. They
have reduced the tariff on leaf tobacco,
Havana cigars and French brandy, all
prime necessities to every household.
They have reduced the tariff on laces,
embroideries, silks, plushes, velvets,
paintings and statuary, pearl buttons
and kid gloves, plate and cut glass and
opium for smoking. What comfort and
what cheer to the millions of households
of the plain people. What burdens have
been rolled away from the shoulders of
the workingmen. They have 6tatuary
free, even if they do have to pay a tariff
on sugar, and they can import their
statuary and ostrich feathers free of
duty. McKinley.
Chicago is a wonderful city, of course,
and in nothing has it shown its pace
more than in the increase in value of its
real estate. Here is one item from the
Inter Ocean which has a double interest
because a Nebraskan is concerned:
"The sale of the Omaha Building has
been at lust closed up, and the new
owner, J. W. Irwin, is in charge, Mr.
Cobb, his agent, being now located in
the building. Ex-Congressman John A.
McShane, of Omaha, is the seller. He
disposed of the capital stock, $250,000,
to Mr. Irwin for 60,000 acres of long-
leaf yellow pine. The ground and
building cover 100x100 feet. The build
ing is seven stories high, and was erect
ed by Honry Hemory. Mr. McShane
traded among other things a ranch
of 1,000 acres near Omaha for the prop
erty."
The Herald desires to call the atten
tion of the populist leaders to the fact
that their course in keeping the populist
nominee for congress in this district in
the field, despite the promises made to
have Thomas and Devine withdraw and
a fusion candidate selected by those two
gentlemen, placed upon the ticket, has
made the election of Meiklejohn an
assured fact unless some new turn is
taken in the affair. It has also created
a strong feeling among democrats in
opposition to granting concessions to the
populist party in the more important
campaigns that will follow in the near
future. Fremont Herald.
No man on the republican state ticket
deserves a more cordial support than
Eugene Moore. His conduct and re
cord as auditor of public accounts com
mends him not only to all republicans,
but to all citizens who desire to see the
state's affairs administered with fidelity
and integrity. When a man does his
duty fearlessly and honestly in an office
of such great responsibility be merits
the gratitude of all good citizens. Mr.
Moore has earned his renomination for
a second term and he should be re
elected by an increased majority.

OEOROE D. MEIKLEJOHN, REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOB CONGRESS, THIRD DISTRICT.
i "
HON. GEORGE D. MEIKLEJOHN.
A Few Points in His CoBgrrtwioaal Record.
His congressional work summarized
shows that during the two sessions he
introduced twenty-four bills, presented
thirty-two petitions, offered five amend
ments and an equal number of resolu
tions and addressed the house twenty
six times. Of bills which he introduced
six became laws. Several of these were
introduced simultaneously on the senate
side, and Mr. Meiklejohn having obtain
ed favorable report upon the house bill
the senate bill was, upon his motion,
taken up and substituted for the house
bill in order to secure prompter action.
But the credit of securing their passage
in the house belongs in a great degree to
Mr. Meiklejohn. Among these bills was
one extending the time of payment to
purchasers of lands of the Omaha tribe
of Indians in Nebraska; the bill author
izing the issue of n patent to the Pres
byterian board of home mission for lands
on the Omaha Indian reservation, for
which Mr. Meiklejohn made the report
from the committee on public lands; the
bill for the charter of the Iowa and Ne
braska Pontoon Bridge company and the
bill granting to the Eastern Nebraska &.
Gulf Railway Company right of way
through the Omaha and Winnebago
reservation. Another bill of Mr. Meikle
john's for which he secured a favorablo
report from the committee and which is
now on the calendar is the bill for the
erection of a public building at Norfolk
at an expense not to exceed $75,000.
This will become a law next session. Mr.
Meiklejohn also reported from commit
tee on public lands and, by calling off
republican opposition, succeeded in pass
ing the only bill which is credited to Mr.
McKeighan, namely, the bill for the
relief of Westley Montgomery. By the
aid of the republican delegations and in
Mr. Kern's absence he also secured the
passage of the Kem bill amending the
timber culture laws so that the portion
of the Sioux reservation lying in Ne
braska should be placed on equality in
time of residence required with that in
South Dakota. Genoa Leader.
A cartoon in a recent number of tho
Inter. Ocean represents Congressman
Wilson sitting among a company of
Englishmen, receiving their adulations,
while in another portion of tho picturo
is delineated one of tho immense mass
meetings that have been such a frequent
occurrence lately wherever Gov. McKin
ley has been announced to speak his
banner being: "Protection to the homes
and firesides of America against all the
world." Tho difference between the two
is thus set forth: "one finds his popular
ity in England, among the capitalists;
the other in America, among American
citizens."
The 790 mistakes in the present law
are every one in favor of the foreign
manufacturer. They put 841,000,000 on
the free list, of which nearly S18.000.000
was wool, $9,000,000 lumber, and the re
mainder manufactured articles and
paintings and statuary. The republican
tariff law of 1890 put more than $112,
000,000 worth of products on the free
list, of which $55,000,000 was on sugar.
We put on the free list everything that
we did not and could not produce and
put a tariff on everything we could and
did produce. McKinley.
Friday night bandits held up n South
ern Pacific overland train a few miles
west of Sacramento and looted the
Wells-Fargo company express car, secur
ing over $50,000. The engineer and fire
man were compelled to go forward about
five miles with tho forward mail cars and
the express car, and afterwards do the
bidding of the robbers, who loaded their
booty on the engine and rode off, after
wards reversing the engine and sending
it back without a rider.
Pursuant to instructions from tho
connty board of supervisors of Antelope
county, a petition has been filed in
court claiming $6,000 from the Com
mercial State bank of Neligh, Neb., as
interest due the connty on deposits of
the county treasurer during the years
1892 to 1894, inclusive, the bank, it is
claimed, having obligated itself to pay
5 per cent interest on county funds.
In a terbe and incisive way, Chancel
lor Crook of the Wesleyan university at
Lincoln sets forth his views in regard to
the new plan of affiliation with the state
university saying in substance that the
Methodist institution will stand by its
colors and desires nothing else. He
closes his interesting letter with the
words : 'The lamb is willing to lie down
by the lion, but not inside."
The supreme lodge of the Knights of
Pythias at its recent session made some
important amendments to the constitu
tion. One was the adoption of the
proposition to exclude from membership
in the order liquor dealers, barkeepers
and gamblers. This is to apply only to
such as may seek to become members in
the future and not to affect any who
now belong to the order.
The re-election of Eugene Moore as
auditor is conceded by all. His fearless
stand for right and the determination to
administer the affairs of his office accord
ing to law have made him innumerable
friends in all parties, and they will see
to it that he retains the office he has so
creditably filled for two years past.

DOWN EAST FARMERS
FEAR CANADIAN COMPETITION WILL
GLUT THE MARKETS.
Garden Track, Hay and Sheep Must Sell
For Lc Mosey A Lone Democratic Pol
itician Who Still Clings to Grover Everything-
For the Trust.
I have been spending my vacatiou in
a little country town way down in
Maine. The old farmer with whom I
boarded was an active politician, and
he and I had many discussions. Ono
day I rode over with him to the country
store, a mile or two away, andwhilowo
were there another farmer came in and
greeted my host with, "Well, Miller,
are they going to pass this tariff bill?"
"I dunno," said Miller. "Looks like
it"
"Well sir," said the newcomer, "if
they do, I've voted tho Democratic tick
et for the last time. "
"Why?" asked Miller.
'Because, ' ' was the reply, ' 'if it passed
I'll have to sell my flock of sheep. I've
been getting 28 and SO cents a pound
for wool, but if this bill passes I won't
getmore'n 15 or 16 cents, and I can't
afford to raise wool for that. And that
ain't all, " he weut on. "I can't got so
much for my produce if they let the
Canadians bring their stuff in here free
or at a lower duty than they pay now. "
"Do you think that no duty or a low
er duty on Canadian farm products
would affect you very much?" I asked.
"Well, Ishould think it would, "was
the reply. "Some things 'twou't inter
fere with, but it will make a big differ
ence in the price of my eggs and pota
toes and turnips and hay and such stuff.
They ought to put up tho duty ou hay
if anything. Thero's too much Canadian
hay comes in here now. And as for tur
nips, you see, St. Andrew's down there,
just across the line, is a great place for
turnips, and if them turnips didu't
have to pay a duty it wouldn't pay me
to raise any."
"Do you get a pretty good price for
your produce now?" I asked.
"Well," he said, "there hasn't been
as good a market for them as usual tho
last year, the times are so hard. A good
many mills havo beeu shut down for a
longer or shorter time, and that's made
money pretty tight. "
"Well, then," I said, "you farmers
havo as much to fear from tho shutting
doWn-of -tha ouills. as from tho coming
in of Canadian products, haven't you?"
"More. We couldn't sell anything if
the mills didn't ruu. Who'd we sell to?"
"That's just it," I said. "You see,
you get juat as much benefit from tho
tariff on manufactures as tho manufac
turer does. If there wern't any facto
ries, you wouldn't havo any market for
your produce, so you profit by the tariff
on manufactures as well as by tho tariff
on farm products. You need a tariff on
both to protect you. "
"Well, that's so, " he replied, "though
I hadn't thought of it before. I dunno
but I'll voto for protection anyhow,
even if they don't put wool ou tho free
list and make me sell my sheep. "
"There's no doubt that they'll mako
wool free," I said, "though I didn't
know before that free wool would affect
Maine much. It is easy enough to see
the danger from the coming in of Ca
nadian produce under a low duty, but
I didn't supposo they raised wool here. ' '
"They don' t much, ' ' ho said, "though
I've got a small flock of sheep. The
wool hasn't started on my sheep yet
this year, though, and my wife says it's
because I voted for Cleveland aud free
wool."
"Shouldn't wonder," I said.
"I should think those western fellers
who raise wool would kick more'n wo
do, though,'' tho old farmer continued.
"I guess they do," I replied. "Pe
titions against free wool havo been
sent to congress from 35 states and ter
ritories, but the people are not in it
with this congress. Tho trusts have the
inside track with this administration."
Just here there entered a man with
a Cleveland figure, who, I afterward
learned, was a Democratic politician of
local fame. Catching my last words,
this politician asked in loud, impressive
tones, "What is the loss to a few thou
sand woolgrowers compared to the gain
to 70,000,)00 of consumers?"
"Ah," I said, "but you must remem
ber that those 70,000,000 consumers are
also producers. They produce the arti
cles which tho woolgrowers consume.
The benefits are mutual, and all have
employment and money with which to
buv tho products of the others. To see
the effect as a whole you must apply
the same argument to everything. To
be consistent, if not wise, you would
have to make everything free. Then all
your 70,000,000 consumers would soon
find that they are producers also. For
eign goods would tako tho place of
home products iu our markets until our
people, thrown out of work by tho ruin
of oil our industries, would be too poor
to buy even the products of European
labor."
"We're not talking about 'free every
thing, ' " returned he of Cleveland stat
ure. "We don't want everything free,
sowe don't have to apply it tor every
thing. We're talking about free wool. ' '
"Pardon me," I said, "for assuming
for a moment that the Democratic par
ty had any use for the jewel of consist
ency. There is chance for a whole
day's discussion in finding out what
raw materials are, as your senate has

MATTHEW MARSHALL'S PREDICTION.
The Democratic Policy Mat Kill Soma at
Oar American Iaduatrlea.
It has generally been supposed that
Matthew Marshall, tho commercial
writer of The Sun, was a man of judg
ment, but people are beginning to doubt
this, and with reason. In a recent issue
of that paper we find the following:
"Although the protection to other
manufacturing industries will not be
so great under tho new act as it is un
der that now in force, it is sufficient to
keep alive most of them, and the loss to
trade by the stoppage of the rest will be
compensated by an increased activity in
the importation of foreign goods."
Matthew Marshall is kind enough
to say that the protection afforded un
der tho Gorman tariff bill "is sufficient
to keep alive most of them" (tho manu
facturers). Ho acknowledges that some
must die, but this is a matter of little
concern becauso in his opinion "tho loss
to trado by the stoppage of tho rest will
be compensated by an increase of activi
ty in tho importation of foreign goods. "
It is fortunate that Matthew Mar
shall did not attempt to explain, be
cause ho couldn't, how tho stoppage of
any of our manufacturing industries,
which means idle peoplo with no pur
chasing power, can "be compensated by
an increased activity in tho importa
tion of foreign goods," which simply
means sending so much mouey out of
tho country to pay foreign wages and to
check tho distribution of wages here
and the purchasing power of our people.
Matthow Marshall then went on to
denounco those Democrats who urged
tho president to let tho Gorman bill be
come a law. Ho must have had in view
The Sun's Franco-American contempo
rary, tho New York Herald, when ho
said, "They exhibit tho groveling spirit
of the Parisian shopkeepers. " Further
on ho stated, "They forgot that the ad
vantage which they gain will bo tem
porary while tho injury to tho country
will bo lasting. " How can this bo if
"tho stoppago of tho rest" of our man
ufactures "will be compensated by an
increased activity in tho importation of
foreign goods?"
This deliberato contradiction in one
paragraph of what was written in a
previous paragraph not only makes peo
plo wonder if Matthew Marshall is
sane, but also if tho commercial col
umns of The Suu aro becoming as utter
ly unreliable as its editorial predictions
of a wheat famine. Mr. Dana need
never go bread hungry. There will al
ways bo ample wheat in tho world to
supply him with a crust But he should
not persistently advocato in his paper a
policy for tho United States that will
mako tho people go hungry and become
dependent upon chanties and free soup
houses. It is un-American.

Itoult or "Free" Coffee.
Duriug the five years of 18G8-72 thero
was an import duty of 5 and 3 cents a
pound on coffee. Thero wero imported
1,231, 182,087 pounds at a cost of $126,
2U4,it8. On this tiio government col
lected a revenue of $.12,018,831. At tho
clamorous demand of tho Democratic
party this "robber tariff," which taxed
the poor man's breakfast table, was re
pealed and coffeo put on tho freo list.
During tho next livo years 1873-7
thero were imported 1,073,097,330
pounds of coffee at a cost of $273,993.
877, from whicli tho government de
rived no revenue. Tho averago price of
coffeo for tho five years of tariff tax was
10 cents and 1 mill per pound. That for
tho fivo years of freo trado was 1G cents
and 5 mills. Repealing tho tariff on
coffeo cost tho government in fivo years
53,018,331 in loss of revenue and cost
tho peoplo $107,200,229 in increased
price of coffee. And such is tho prico of
Democratic statesmanship! But you
ask. How could this be? When wo re
pealed our tariff, Brazil levied an ex
port tax and transferred tho $53,000,
000 to her coffers, aud tho importers
formed a "syndicate" and transferred
tho $107,000,000 to their pockets. No
wonder New York importers want free
trade. See Evan-, Export Duties, 18G7
to 1SS3, page 127.

"It is a good thing to havo money and
a good thing to work for it, but you
must bo careful not to pay too large a
prico for it. It is your right to labor for
it and your right to get it if you can. "
This from the New York Herald's
Sunday sermon, Aug. 2G, is tolerably
amusing when wo consider how that
