Hon. Victor Vlfqnnln the demo-
cratlc : cnndidnto for congress In the
Fourth district , declared in n , recent
speocli that protection helps the laborIng -
Ing man to the detriment of the farmer ;
that under protection the mnnufacluror
reaps all the bonollt while the tiller of
the soil gets nothing.
Will the farmers who soil their oatu
tot the oat mill factories ; their hemp to
the binding twine fnotorlos ; their corn
and vorjotftblo't to the cunning factories ;
their hoots ( a the boot Augnr rofinurlos ,
oto , , , etc. , nfrreo with the proposition of
MrC . Vlfqualn ? Wo thlnit not.
General Vlfqunln is n Fronnhinnn nnd
ought to bo fainlllar with the history of
Franco. The policy tit protection IB not
nn Amurjcan' republican device to
rnlso revenue anjl stimulate homo In
dustry. It was fathered by Colbert , ono
oil the most Illustrious statesman Pi-aura
ever produced. As tbo Itimnco mlnUtor
of Louis ] XIV. , Colbert inaugurated pro
tection In Franco , under which Franco
became the successful rival of Knalnml
and Holland in manufactures and com
merce. The French silk Industries and
carpet , and cloth manufactures wore
given an impetus nnd employed thou
sands of skilled workmen who had mi
grated from FlanUors , Holland and ling-
land because of the high wagea pitd in
Franco.
When the armies of Louis XtV. were
overthrown nt the buttle of Blen
heim the duke of Marl borough * who
'
commanded the victorious British
armies dictated as ono of the conditions
of the treaty of peace iho abandon incut
of the policy of protection. In F.nglantl
this was regarded na ti master stroke of
diplomacy , and so it proved in duo time.
Nc sooner had Franco abolished her
protective import duties than her manti-
fi'cturos : ' became prostrate and thous
ands of the factory hands that had boon
profitably l > employed wore compelled to
rml
migrate to other lands while the French
farmers wore deprived of the benefits
of a homo market that had boon their
ofm
mainstay. :
This I was the experience of 'Franco
jiibt 1200 years ago , nnd history would re
peat itself in America were free tirade
bubstitutod for the protective policy.
"An injury to ono is an injury to all , "
is ono of the maxims nf the farmers
isall
alliance. An Injury to the mill and
factory hands would bo an injury to the
trade- ) people , nnd in duo time to the
farmer. : The towns and cities that wore
bu up chiefly by the factories would
bo deserted and the factory hands from
being profitable patrons of the former
would < become damaging competitors by
being driven into agricultural pursuits.
\VILI \ , XUT DOWN.
It IB a desperate and futllo effort
which the democratic leaders nro mnk--
incr to convince tlio people that the
tariff plank of the Chicago platform
docs not mean what it says. This effort
was begun very soon nftor the national
convention adjourned , but it is only
within a fo\v \ weeks that the party load-
era have evinced serious anxiety regard
ing the effect of the tariff plank of the ( .
phitfortu. In hts address when notified .
of his nomination Mr. Cleveland tried '
to qtiioL popular apprehension , and now
Senator Hill is assuring the people of
Now York that there is no danger and
tlmt the tariff plank is really a very in
nocent enunciation.
In his speech nt Buffalo on Saturday
Senator Hill said : ' 'There can bo no
.
reasonable doubt that tariff taxation
will continue to bo tlio permanent policy
of the government , notwithstanding the I
opinions of sincere but impracticable I
theorists who ndviso its abandonment , "
Such statements might bo reassuring if
tlio people could forget the circiim- '
stances under which the tiirlff plank wns I .
adopted. The deliberate souse of tlio
convention is expressed in that plank ,
which was adopted by ti nearly two-
thirdu vote as a substitute for the plank
submitted by the committee on resolu
tions , which recognized the necessity of
arranging tarllT sctiudulcH with refer
ence to the difference between wages
in the United States and in Europe.
The plank adopted was endorsed by
nearly GOO members of the convention
after n most earnest discussion. The
people do not forgot this , nor do they
forgot the fact that the democratic
majority in the house of representa
tives passed half a dozen tllbtlnctly
free IIMUO measures , thus demonstrat
ing that the representatives of the
democratic parly in congress were In
complete accord with thu tariff plank of
the national platform.
The democratic party will not bo per
mitted to discredit the action of the na
tional convention , deliberately taken ,
regarding the tariff. Neither will It bo
allowed to escape responsibility for its -
.
utterance in favor of restoring state bank
issues. Tlio determination of the party ,
to destroy protection to American indus
tries and to open the way for * flooding
the country with n woithlccs currency >
has boon dourly expressed in language
that leaves only one construction , and
no amount of sophistical explanations
will now avail. Having declared that
protection Is unconstitutional nnd thereby ) -
by In effect pronounced for free trade ,
the party must stand by that doolara-
tlon. The democracy promised an iI'O
jrroHsivo campaign , but tlio loaders are
engaged in trying to defonu their blundering
.
dering platform and convince the people
that It dncun't moan what it siiyb nnd
duos moan what it does , not nay. The
republican * , on the contrary , are not
denying anything in their platform or
trying u > give any part of It a moaning
not rloirly expressed in Us language.
They do not need tti explain their pint
form , because It explains itself. It itis
fatnilghtforwnid and unequivocal , and
needs no apology or defense.
A FonciiiLK coxniAsr ,
An Iowa farmer , who says tlmt general
farming has been his business for moro
than forty years , writes to the Now
York jfVibune giving some facts in his
experience which do not nuke u favor
able showing for thn period when the
country hud u tariff for revenue only ,
such aa the democratic parly now demands -
mands ahull replace the protective
turilf.
The farmer correspondent of the li
toir , writing of tbo changed ne ,
remarks that ono noticeable change in
In the purchasing power ot some of the
products of the fnrm , such as pork * but
ter nnd eggs. In 18.50 the farmer , who
dressed his hogs and sold them ready
for packing , realized usually only $1.25
per 100 pound * , nnd often ho wa * unable
to obtain for hU pork moro than onoOinlf
In groceries. White sugar ( light brown )
sold for 10 cents per pound ; prints , 10 to
12 } cents pel' yard hence the farmer
got ono pound of sugar and ono yard of
prints for Mxtcon pounds of dressed
pork. Now ho gets nbout.-fi cents a
pound for live hops , and they have
recently boon higher than 'that , receiv
ing cash , while everything ho has to
buy Is very much cheaper than it was
forty years ago. "Contrast otght pounds
of dropscd pork , " says this farmer cor
respondent of the ? Vibuitr , "for ono
pound of light brown sugar in the days
of honest democratic laws with these
Hays of class legislation nnd ono pound
ot line granulated sugar for ono pound
of live hog. We ! then got ono pound of
light brown sugar for ono pound of but
ter ; now wo got five pounds of fine gran-
iilalud sugar for ono pound of butter.
\Vo then got 0 cents ( In dry goods ) per
do/.en for eggs ; now wo got moro than
twice thai , In cash. "
Such was the condition In the "good
old times" of a revenue tariff only and
a state bunk currency , both of which
would bo restored If the democratic
party should bo given control of the gov
ernment , unless their Insi national plat
form , which somoof the loaders tire now
trying in part to discredit , was not In
tended to moan what it says. The fact
that tlio farmer Is now enabled to sell
hia products for much bolter prices than
forty years ago is duo to his having a
greatly enlarged homo market , which
1 ? sloadlly growing under the policy of
protection , while the great development
of manufacturing industries supplies
him with the goods ho must buy at
greatly reduced prices. In 18oO the
American farmer \\ns compelled to buy
prints made in Europe'and to pny what
ever price Iho foreign manufacturer
asked , together with tlnvcostof trans
portation , but now ho can purchase
prints made in his own country nnd com
petition has lowered the price until a
pound of butter will exchange for live
or six yards of prints. ICvory intelligent
farmer who knows tills to bo the case
must see that his interest lies in mnin-
tainlng the policy which has developed
the manufacturing1 interests of the
country and built up a great homo
market for his products. A policy that
would cripple existing industries nnd
put a slop to tlio growth of manufactur
ing enterprises would turn loose tens of
thousands of workers many of whom
would go into agriculture , and assuredly
the farmers ot the country do not desire
this. They would prof or to boo the num
ber of the ngticuHurnl classi reduced.
Manifestly the farmer is the man who
will bo the larger gainer from the devel
opment of American industries , and this
is possible only under n policy of pro
tection.
TIIK COST OF COAL.
Anticipated advances in anthracite
coal , to bo rnado on October 1 , will
probably increase the ' retail price in
this city to Sll per ton. Possibly it maybe
bo a little less than that uttho begin
ning of the month , but all indications
are to the effect that this figure will
soon bo reached. Reports to the Coal
Trade Jburnul from all parts of the
country show that the price of anthra
cite is expected to advance on the first
of next month. In all localities whore

coal is reported. This means , of course ,
n i falling off in the consumption of an
thracite. t Judging by Iho present out
look the anthracite coal combine will
lose money in the long run by forcing
consumers to buy soft coal.
The bituminous coal product of the
west is rapidly increasing. Now mines
have recently been opened in Ohio ,
Iowa , Indiana , Wyoming , Oregon ,
Washington and elsewhere in the west
ern country. This coal finds a ready
sale and is steadily taking the place of
anthracite among the poorer classes ,
who cannot afford to pay the enormous
prices charged for anthracite.
TJIKKI : has boon a good deal of mys
terious monkeying with the Twenty-
second street paving which must bo
completed before winter sots in in order
to enable the army officers in charge of
thn government storehouses to haul the
vast stores that are handled nt this
dopot. All sorts of obstructions have
been placed in Iho way'of this pave
ment by influences that HOOIII to control
the action of the council and Board of
Puolic Works. Two weeks ago the or
dinance to pave the fatrcot was finally
passed and the contract lot Now it is
discovered that there lias boon no pro
vision initflo for the curbing , which of
covi'-so means another two weeks' delay.
The blame will , as usual , bo shifted
from the shoulders of ono official tothobo
of another , but it begins to look as if
there is n hugo darkey hiding in that
I stone pile somewhere.
Tin : acquittal of Chancellor Croighton
of charges pi eforrod against him will

much cannot bo said of his personal enemies -
emios who have pursued the chancellor
through motives of personal revongo.

slllution which Mr. Croighton has
helped to build up will bo Irreparable.

opposition to Mercer's candidacy sprints
from no personal disappointment and no re

Notwithstanding the almost universal use

ho inquiry 1 froquonUjr made , ' 'What Is a
dynnmo ! " Briefly , the dynamo U the only
moans known of ponarating powerful cur
rants of electricity in nn economical manner ,
The principle which underlies tno construe-
Ion of nil dynimos Is the powerful Indtictivn
offcctsof magriotism. The pormniiontmagnot ,
or elcctro-inncnct.wbon magnctl/od , gives olT
'
'rom Its poles an Influence which may 1)3 )
lltened to ray * of light Issuing irom ttio point
ot Illumination. What nro represented , by
' rays" in light are called "lines of force"
n magnetism. Unltka Iho rny of light ,
however , the lines of force cannot bo
soon , but their presenceis easily ptovod. A
conductor or wire caused to pass In front of
either polo , so us to cut the lines of force ,
wilt have induced into it n current of elec
tricity. It is only a mnmontnrv current , nud
so soon ns Uo motion Is stopped the current
consrs , If , however , n number of wires nro
bound around a framework , say in the form
of n wheel , mid the wheel li ro
tated , currants of electricity would bo gen-
crated m each cell ot wire In succession.
The wheel , or combination of coiU , is tech
nically tuunvn ai an urmauue. If iho cur
rants gancrntud are to lie-utilized , means must
bo provided for their passage irom the wire
In which they are Induced , This is done in
n very simple way A number of motn ! sec
tions nro bound together in circular form ,
I occupying what would bo tlio hub or center '
of thu wlinot already mentioned , and IbU do-
vlco , wnich is called a collector or commu
tater , Is revolved with the nrnuU'iio nud
receives the currents of electricity that are
induced. From the commutator the current
is taken by what is called u brush , which
usually conMstH ot plates of copper , wire
gauze or carbon , Ono end of the brush
is nllo.vcj to rest on the commutator and the
other has u wire attached to It. Thus when
the commutator revolves , o ch section with
its charge of current nassos , anil Is silently
rubbed by the brush , through which it
passes to the wire u hleh conducts it to the
external circuit. Sj n dynamo may bo said
to consist of ono or mete powerful magnets- ;
nu arnmturo or series of coils of wire rota
ting in the Held ot the magnets ; nnd brushes
to carry oft the current to the outer circuit.

The Question of the construction of electric
. roads in country districts , and the general
distribution , of olorlrlcity for use in farming
operations , is considered in n recent paper
byV. . N. .Black. Mr. BUck considers that
"iho most honaiul solution of tbo problem of
. difllculty and discouragement that surrounds
tlio , American farmer of today is toDO
looked for In the general distribution of
cloctrio power over the \\oio country from
central stations , und its utilization , uot
merely for transportation , but for all
iho work of the farm , now cnivicd
on so expensively , laboriously and incfllci-
ontly by iho muscular power of men and
animals. It. needs but llttlo study of the
actual figures to appreciate how enormous
would uj the magnitude of the saving if
this most flexible and tractable of nil unents
could bo made to do oven n comparatively
small portion of tbo farm work of the United
States. It , will bo cheaper and marc sensible
to render the
improved highways unneces
sary than it will bo to ( jot the highways. "
Mr. Black estimates that electrical high
ways can be constructed for $ ) , .riOO per nnlo
In districts where the grade is not moro than
10 cent. Whom
per light trestles or cm-
ban union ts were needed the expenditure
would bo greater ; but probably over 00 per
cent of the roadways of the Uulied States
could ba covered at this cost and ns thcro
would bo , taking nn average section ot ten
miles square , about 100 miles ol'road , the
total cost for the district would be only $ I ) . " > 0- ,
000. With n central station large enough to
drlvo all the roau wagons of the dlstiict that
would bo in use at uny onn time , the capital
ization would bo less than $10 par aero , and
tlm interest account less than lid cents pur
annum to the ucre. But Mr. Black proposes
A much wiilcr application of olodtrlclty than
this cnpitailmtlon would meet. Ills idflft In
that this Application should bo thorough , unit
should Include tbo supplying ot power for
nil ngrlculturnl purposes , for manufacturing

tntloii , nnd ho estimates that this could b ,
donoon Acapltnllintlon of $3,000,000 tor the
100 square miles ol territory. Ho maintains
that the Interest on this sum , M par nero , Is
Insignificant whan Iho total vnlun of thn pre
cinct on n properly I'liltlvnlod aero of fortllo
soil Is considered. Mr. Illnok Insists that
r

comparably moro than lit town with Us paved
