OMAHA , Neb. , Oct. 20. To the Editor of
fnn lln : : Tlicro was recently bnndcd toino
for i > crtnnl on apparently plausible argument
Upon the tnrllT problem , written , 1 believe , In
llo Interest of frco trade , for Its author , In
closing , remarks ! "I am convinced that al
most cobody Is benefited by the tariff , except
I cllqlie of millionaires who have got rich by
this polite form of bepflnp , while everybody
Clso is plundered for tnolr benefit. "
In nn nrtlclo uhtuli forces Its author to a
conclusion so clearly erroneous , onois apt to
Infer Hint the opening declarations must bo
equally Indefensible , and they arc. "How
trntiKP It Is , " he writes , "that any American
dtt/.cn sliotilil say , -when asked , lib views
ppoti the tariff question , 'I don't understand
It ; ' " niul again , before beginning his argu
ment , ho aays : "But first , I want you to
ttrolllth mo uovui into the valley or humil
iation and blush a while for bavlne over been
Compelled to confess that you didn't ' under
stand too tarift question. "
Indeed I William E. Gladstone , the ablest
talesman In England , looking nttho prob
lem from nn English point of view , set up an
elafoor.itu argument nttainst the American
fystoin Kollowirjf : Immediately upon its pub
lication cunio nn equally ejchuustho nrtlclo
from JitminG. Ehlne , In which o\ery promi
nent feature of Mr. Gladstone's reasoning
was nltnclicil , r nd , from an Aincrlcftii stand
point , completely upset.
ConKicismnn Mnrriion of Illinois , niter
months of study and of carofnl consideration ,
rresi'iitcd nblll for the modification of the
tariff uhlch , to u majority of his associates ,
Kernel wolully nt fuult. nndtho bill and its
Buthnrwaiohoth sot aside , as additions to
political ruins.
Rojcr ; Q. Mills came forward later with nn-
0thor coinpleto revision of the existing
Hchotluli' , and Immediately thereafter the
most nnlmnted mid persistent discussion of
this complex question that has yob taken
place In the rcimbllovns \ begun , The bill
Was lichciidcil , dissected , rctlsed and io m-
truttoil hy the Boiinto and house , but it
povcr ftSKiimed nn aspect which promised Im-
provoinontupon the schedule In force , and
Was there fore put away as another conspicu
ous fulluro.
When the lost session of congiess began ,
jvlth n republican majority in all Its branches ,
fmd aioimbllcaii president in ofllco , it was
Ivell understood that the pirty whoso foro-
llgbl and Judgment for twenty-four jcars
had ( jlvon to Amcrlcnn Industries tliolrmag-
blllcinb dcvnlopmcnt would cndowor tore-
Vise the tariff upon the basis of "greatest
food tn the irreatcst number. " Whether or
Cot the MdCInley schedules will \vork out the
bcnclit thatls hoped for , tlmo only can tell.
No min , nor set of men. In a nation \\hcio
interests nro so dlvcrsiilcd aa they are in
ours will ever bo able to "understand" this
Wide teaching problem sufficiently to tell , in
advance of a test , what meosuro could bo
tdoploil that would satisfy all thodcshcs of
ever ) element in our national famllv. No
mnn , nor set of men , can frame a bill for
regulation of tariff whoso provisions would
Dot bo assailed. It is easy to understand the
tlmplo matter of charging an Importer a fixed
( mount for the privilege of bringing toono
country for snlo the products and wares of
tlnothci' , but this pait of the question has
Kbout the same relation to the pioblein , as a
Whole , that nn alphabet bears to n language.
The people of Now England , nnd ot other
manufacturing districts , uhoso prosperity
depends upon the success of the Industries
feboutthetn , are certainly consistent in de
manding that measure of protection which is
essential to their permanency and success.
TUo lumbermen and others who nro depend
ent mon them In Michigan and Wisconsin
may bo blind to the interests of Now 1'ng-
lnnd , but they nro feaifully lu earnest when
the tariffon lumber is threatened. Tno
raisers ot tohacco In "Vlruinla nud Kentucky
Arc uilllng that the duties on lumber and
woolens , nnd n multitudes of articles they
cannot produce , should bo renwcd or re
duced , but the tariff on tobacco must never
bo disturbed , except to bo raised. In tlio
west , whcro forming- the chief occupation ,
, . men nro clamoring for heavy reductions on
everything that the cast produces , but the
tnnnulio would hint nt removing the tarift
pn potatoes nnd grains would too labeled by
the farmers as mi enemy. All sorts of argu
ments litivo brought into service by demo
cratic , speakers to provo to the farmers and
mechanics bow disastrous tbo outcome must
bowith McKinlcy's revisions In force. And
they are cunning about it , too.
They refer to the Increase of duty on tin as
it nn outrage , hut they tall to Inform the Intlus-
3. triouu husbandmen that tlio duty on potatoes ,
for the protection of farmers , has been almost
doubled.
They see glaring injustice In advancing the
tariff oti glass , but they rarely allude to the
DO rer cent that was added to butter nnd
cheese.
They talk of alleged oppression in nn In-
prcaso of duty onwoolens , but are always
too busy to explain to the farmers that the
tariff on barley is more than doubled and
that duties on all other grains have been pro
portionately raised.
They foretell disaster from tbo tariff on n
number of protected coininoditios , hut thov
rarely i o for to the most conspicuous of nil
the ilmnpcs , ono nialo in the Interest of
a multitude of farmers who nro raising
tobacco , \\hcro the duty on Suinmatni leaf
\tasbocn lalscd from nn average of 55 cents
to exactly f3 per pound. Nor do they state
to thu filmier thai duties on beans have been
raised fioinlO per cent ad valorem to 15 rents
per bushel ; on bacon and hams from U to 5
cents per pound ; on apples from nothing to
25 cents per bushel ; on beef from 1 to a cents
per pound , nnd on cattle ami horses in Hico
propgrtlon.
Tluvso are the articles which enter most
larpily into active competition with , our own
agricultural products , aud the farmers are
entitled to protection.
Now the impatient free trader will say :
' "This tariff ia oppressive to the mechnnle. "
And so it goes , a ho farmer wants the fruit
of the loom and the workshop , relieved from
the tariff ; the mechanic wants his meat mid
his Hour nnd his tobacco without duties ; the
professional nnd commercial fraternities
could easily ho suited by hating all aiticlcs
free bach class of our great population Is
blind to the advantage of the others , for-
gotlluir at times , tbat prosperity for ono Is
dependent upon the oiler's good fortune ,
Ills therefore essential to advancement ,
and universal Rood feeling , tbat vc cloao our
cars to selfishness , our ojcs to the night
mares of disturbed Imaginations , and stand
upon a moro patrlotio level , with a higher' '
conception of national prosperity.
Aim llrst , let us mulerstanu that an ad-
vuncatn rates of duties is not necessarily , In-
doc < l U not usually , equivalent to a corresponding
pending advance in values.
It is true tlut nunufncturors'nnd mer
chants , for the purposoof personal gain , may
ralsotlio prices on wares , anl chaigo the al
leged necessity for It to tbo tariff , but the
advance will be temporary. Let the duties
bo sufllclcnt to prevent foreign cbcnp labor
nnd three per cent , capital from freezing
them out , and competition among Amoilcan
manufaturers will keep values uhoro they
belong.
'iho chief enemy of low prices is the
"trust , " and congress can regulate combina
tions of that sort if they become oppressive.
It has been tlio mission of democrats , for n
quarter of a century , to criticise republican
administrations ; to tear from their creditable -
able achievements the glory -which they uro
entitled. These political opponents niivo
denounced every plan nnd condemned every
act that republicans originated or accomp
lished , and yet , in bplto of it nil. tlio records
of tlo world would bo searched in vuin for n
parallel , or even an approach , to the astound
ing development which lias come to our
material resources , since the election of
Abraham Lincoln.
Ills easy to destroy , but harder , much
harder , to build ,
U'hls nation was born of oppression , nnd
mmcantuia breast of sufroritig , Liberty
of coiifcclcuce , of thought and of action , the
crown undtha glory of our citizenship. Is a
Morltagro that w s only inudo possible bv a
contnry and a half of sacrifice.
UTioro came atliuolu the days of the Pll-
prims when four Httlo colonies conceived the
idea that some tort ot union , ono with the
nthcti , would boot infinite advantage to nil ,
Protection , as they understood It , nioant
more than the fostering of Industries. Life
and property , nnd the jewel of their compact ,
liberty , were nil Involved. The basis of the
confederation was simple , but Just , nnd hold
the people of New England together till their
charters vcre revoked by King James.
After the revolution , when the colonies
tveroln absolute financial distress , the hard
ships entailed bv England's opposition to the
development of manufactures , became more
and more oppressive. During the first even
years , from the close of the war , over KX-
000,000 in specie jvcro paid to English manu
facturers and merchants , a greater portion
ofvliich could have been kept In .the col
onies had homo productions been permitted ,
Necessity will sometimes compel what
milder agencies may have failed to accomp
lish , and It pro\cd to bo true In American ex
perience nt that period of colonial history.
Aa nrtlclo upon "American Manufactures"
was published and given -\vldo circulation by
people of Pennsylvania , which began as fol
lows ! "Everyman must ho convinced that a
people who have recourse to foreign markets
fur almost every article of tholr consumption
can bo Independent in name only , and are Incapable -
capable of becoming cither great or prosper
ous. "
In his first message to congress President
Washington called attention to the advisabil
ity of giving official , end therefore tangible
encouragement to American industries , and
almost the first bill passed by thonewlopls-
lath o assembly provided a tariff for protec
tion , for revenue , and for the payment of the
public debt.
There had existed n bond of federation be
tween the thirteen colonies , prior to the revolution
elution , but each liad reserved the right of
IndUldunl government. "When they accepted
the constitution and thereby became mem
bers of the union , this prerogative was aban
doned , but the national government \vns
under moral obligation to take no advantage
of that surrender of rights , hence the enact
ment of tariff regulation ivas an effective il
lustration of good faith.
Previous to the passage of the tariff bill ,
the colonies had been drained of specie , to
malto up the balance of trndo against them.
Almost immediately after the bill became a
law , the situation begin to change , and with
in ilvo yeais , exports hid more tuan doubled
the Imports.
At the close of the first decade , the balance
had been auguwentod to § 11,1,000,000. A sur
plus of revenue began to accumulate , and
Thomas Jefferson asked : "Shall wo suppress
the Imports and give nn advantage to for
eign over domestic manufncturcisl" And
then answered the question himself , hy saying -
ing : "Thopatriotism ot the people would
certainly prefer their continuance , and appli
cation to the great purpose of public educa
tion , roads , etc.
The committee on commerce and manufac
tures , In reporting favorably upon President
Jefferson's message concerning protection ,
said ! "A nation erects a solid basis for the
support and maintenance of Its Independence
nncl prosperity , whoso policy it is to draw from
its resources all the articles of first neces
sity. "
The rapid de\elopmcnt of American indus
tries was gall aud wormwood to the l nglish
manufiictuiers. Ono of the lords , In parlia
ment , declared that it would bo "well worth
while to Iniur a loss upon the lirst cxpotta-
tlons , in order by the glut , to stifle In the
cradle the rislnir manufacturers tn the
United "States. " Congress nt that tltno was
equal to the occasion , and upon being con
vinced that : "Tho foreign manufacturer
and merchants would put Into use nil their
powers of ingenuity , nnd would practice
whatever art could doUse or capital accomp
lish , to prevent the American manufacturing
establishments from becoming prosperous
and permanent , " it revised the tariff nnd
raised some Items to a considerable extent.
The foil-going matters of record in the his
tory of this nation , hnvo bccnliero introduced
in order to refresh the memory of those who
have forgotten how inseparably the piinciplo
of protection has been connected with our
national policy since the first federation of
the colonies before the revolutionary war.
Fortunately , or unfortunately , ns the case
may bo , the McKinley schedule has been
passed by congress on the cvo of election. If
solllslinoss and domogogery could bo elimin
ated fiom our politics , It would make little
difference when n bill of this sort should
como , for It would bo dispassionately consid
ered. Democratic papers and speakers , know
ing , but not admitting , that Intelligent Judge
ment can only bo given after the law has
been tried , have attacked its character , can-
demned its provisions nnd Inpugncd the mo
tives of Its authors. With a confidence begotten -
gotten of desperation they assume , what
tlmo ulono can doteimluc , and declare the
bill , as a whole , to bo nn outrage upon the
American people.
They tell the mechanic that because the
duty on tin lias been rai.sed that everything
in that line will Immediately bo advanced to
that extent. Because a tariff of 2J < f cents bos
been put upon nails made from wire , they
would ha\o \ us believe that in a very little
while wo shall pay 5 cents a pound , by ttio
keg , Instead of 2V , thuto now are paying.
Yet they all kuoiv beitcr , or ought to. The
manufacture of wire nails is of iccant origin ,
and the industry has prospered hoyond nil
precedent , yet the price has been remarkably
low. The duty that is nowImposed is simply
a wlso protection. Capital has boon largely"
invested , machinery perfected , trade worked
up , and the popularity of ttio nails estab
lished. Now that the article has been in
vented , Its value shown , and the pnco
brought as low as they can profitably
bo furnished for , docs anyone deslro to BCD
foreign manufacturers acfopt the idea , and by
means of their pauper labor destroy so prom
ising nn American Industry ? Not by any
means , nnd the tariff Is a safeguard , but not a
burden.
"Wo are told that 10 per cent Increiso in
duties meins an equal advance in the price of
goods. If that bo true what a host of mill
ionaires Nebraska nnd Kansas will have by
spring. The advance of JR cents a bushel on
corn. In these two states , would bring nearly
JxS.000,000. Fifteen cents a bushel on barley.
$3,000,000 more. Potatoes , at 111 cents advance -
vance , about a quarter of n million , and so
on. iaiich a statement is , of course , ridicu
lous , yet It is exactly the iojihistry aim do-
liibloii that Is being talked all over tlio oouu-
try by opponents to the MUCInley bill.
In the matter of tin , Amoricui manufac
turers hmo been handicapped from thostait.
English syndic itcs hive controlled the prin
cipal mines and have handled the bulk of the
product. Whenever It has suited their pur
pose to raise the pi ice they have done so , and
whenever It has scomed advisable , from pol
icy or necessity , to reduce it a little that , too ,
bus been dono. It bos now become known tea
a ceituinty that tin can bo mined In this
country In limitless quantities. With a mar
gin for protection of only 1 cent per pound ,
however , our capitalists have not been willIng -
Ing to risk much money or tlmo In the devel
opment of tin manufuctuics , because they
could bo oislly fro/en out during the yoirs of
beginnings , by foreign competition. Hut tha
incronso In tariff has changed the conditions ,
Congress has llnally given to this Industry
the same sort of encouragement that has been
extended to others of our grout material In
terests \\hon thov wcro too feeble to stand
alone. Is'ovoi- the history of legislation
has there been such an awakening of interest
in a paillculur direction , as the additional
duty of a cent and two tenths per pound on
tin and time plates has brought about ,
$7,0(10,000 ( , to ho Invested in Baltimore ,
* 5,000ooo , in Chicago , and the McKinley bill
only three wocki ou tlio market.
Wo are told that farmers are oppressed by
the tarift oa machinery ; that reapers and
plows , nnd things of that sort , are sold
ubtoad for half what they soil for hero. Is
the tariff responsible for this condition of
things ! Not by any means. Manufacturers
sell their wares for cosh to dealers abroad.
and It Is certainly true that the eamo class of
dealers in this country can buy them nt
equally Io\v prices. The dlfllculty lies In the
manner of sale. Machines are shipped from
the factory to a distributing agent , where
the > nro handled at considerable expense hy
nn agent of the company or a wholesale
denier. In either case a proflt must bo mado.
They go from those distributing stations ,
after having been three times handled , to a
local dealer or agent in some smaller town ,
where they are brought Into contact with the
farmer. This dealer 1ms a marglu of from 25
to-lflpor cent profit , and when ho sells , In
nine cases oat of tcu , ho takes n note from
the farmer , running one , two or three years ,
as the case may be. For this accommodt-
tlon there Is usually n higher prlco on
the article , for in a great number of
coses when the notes como duo , they will
have to bo extended , or sued , nnd this latter
course , as I learned by seven j oars' experi
ence in a manufacturing institution , is almost
equivalent to an abandonment of the claim.
Farmers , as a rule , mean to pay their dobta ,
but since crops and stock : nrojthe only tourcea
of revenue , payment of notes dci > ends upon
the outcome of the icusou's \\ork. It may
be satisfactory , but If from any cause crops
are spoiled , or cattle fall , then extensions of
Uuie oa obligations must follow. All these
operations cost money , so that the difference
between what the farmer ultimately pays for
a rcipcr , for instance , and what the manufac
turer Actually receives , is nt least omml to
the discount to dealer * abroad , bowing
machine ) that nro sold at retail for from MOte
to 175 apiece to the user , can bo purchased in
quantities from manufacturers nt from (15
to $30. If the tariff xvas removed tomorrow
from many of the articles produced in this
country , the difference In prlco would be
scarcely perceptible. I have sAld that when
an Industry reaches that point whore It can
copa with any competition tariff should bo
removed from that particular interest , but I
am nearly convinced , now , that It la better to
let it remain as a safeguard , while- homo
competition , ono manufacturer with another ,
is accomplishing what -HO all desire reduc
tion of prices.
Only n few years ago Axtnlnstcr carpets
wcro wortli 53 n yard , nnd vero nil hand
made. An adequate protection encouraged
not only American capital hut American
genius , and before very long an American
had invented machinery to take the place of
hands , factories had been erected , pi-ices
began to fall , nnd now wo are making 50,000-
000 yards a year and nro practically inde
pendent of foreign supply.
Lot the tariff remain , not nsa burden , but
as nn indication to the tlueo hundred manu
facturers of these wares thut the government
Is protecting Its offspring.
A multitude ot instances might ho quoted
to prove the advantages of protection , hut if
our people ulll investigate matters of this
nature for themselves , aud not bo influenced
by plausible sophistry , w hlch seems to ho
promising $ t for 75 cents , or profit and nros-
perlty without labor nnd sacrifice , a much
more healthy nnd desirable condition of pub
lic sentiment will be develeped.
Foreign nations are inarms over McIUn-
loj's ' bill. Does any ono suppose that they
are worrying lest American interests shall
suffer ? Oh , no. They nro alarmed over two
natural consequences which nro likely to fol
low , 1. A great falling elf in their trade
with America , which has been their most
profitable market. 2. Ihoy have found
American competitors , inoutsido fields , to be
the most formidable of nil tticv encounter ,
and they are quick to perceive that If manu
facturing establishments are Increased , nnd
new industries nro brought Into being , the
genius aud push of American producers will
make them hu'tlo to hold their own , even m
Holds where they are supremo.
Had it boon loft for mo to frame , there nro
some things la the McKIulcy bill that I
might have left out , nnd I am sure that there
arc a good many republicans , pirticulnrly in
the west , wtioaro not la harmony with all of
its provisions. But there were opponents to
tha Mills bill among democrats , there \vero
many personal friends who were decidedly
opposed to the "horizontal" reduction that
Morrison proposed , nnd it is certain that no
one , however wise or considerate ho maj * bo ,
can prepare a schedule for upwards of nine
hundred articles , that would bo pleasing to all.
The present arrangement of tariff was discussed -
cussed in committee , overhauled and amended
in both branches of congress , and has now
been promulgated ns the plan best stilted for
picseut conditions that congress could do\i e.
As a republ lean who believes In the party
that can bo honored for Its achievements , I
am willing to abide by its action till intelli
gent judgment can bo passed on the measure ,
through the light and the test of results.

A private letter from Buffalo , Wjo. , says :
"Tho older contemplating the removal of
the dead ofllccrs and soldiers found in the
Fort AlcKlnnoy cemetery , to the Custor bat
tle giound cemttery , lool as if steps were
being taken to abandon tha post , a misfortune
to this pait of Wyoming , nnd seemingly not a
military necessity. On thu contrary , in case
of nn Indian outbreak it would result in loss
of li\cs and property , and n sot-back to the j
state not to bo overcome fur aoino time.
"The Indian medicine man , i\ho is believed
hy tha Indiana to bo the Christ , is fornicating
trouble , and runncis from nil thu In'Jinn
tribes are visiting hltrrmr Snuko river. AH
tribes are being dlsulTaeU'd , and by him , thov
nro taught , that their future salva
tion depends upon the ovcrttiioxv
of the whites. AVhllo this may
not dismay tho- - American nation
the few nud scattered settlements of whites
in this country have reason to feel alarmed ,
nnd to look for nnd cipoct our protection of
troops , in this vicinity , \vhcro rcmo\al would
