(HE IIOTIK 311RKKT DODGE.
Our readers hare seen now anxious
a.id earnest we are that the farmers I
.'BhouIJ understand the Tariff, in so
fir as it affects their own interests.
, The Lome market dodge has deceived
them often and is still fooling them.
We have consequently in three or
four editorials Bought to throw light
Jong this line of thought 'and to
,Aow the farmers how seriously they
are injured by the Chinese Wall eys
tern that shuts in and shuts out.l
To impress the question upon those
who read it is necessary to discus's an
important question from many stand
iog points. To-day we wil again
give soma evidence to show how the
Republican party is the enemy of
a; country and is warring
on the
farmer, the chfcf hope of the coun
try and the real basis of all proeper
ii; . VVhile not a repetition of what
we have said it is in the eame strain.
In 18S0, there were 7,670,483 (per
sons working on the farms 4-about
one-half of the working population.
No tbtre are no doubt fully 9,000,
000 thn eugaged. The products of
vbel':rras in 1880 were $2,213,- ko4,
5o'4. Probably they have increased
h magnitude fully r one-hal : i.ince
then.
I'h9 Ne w York; World, has an ible,
cor-clusive' article on this lutject,
from which we will copy. Read
cirtfnlly the following. It says of
U.e home and foreign markets:
"It did not require the labor of 7.670.
403ir6ons, working 300 days per year, to
supply our V,TZ1,WQ other workers with
taunt bud meat. All the latter required was
?l,608,025.86l worth. To supply bur own
people furii3hed employment for I only
5,773,003 farmers. There was no, Ameri
can market tor the remaining $546,476,703
worta or I arm products, and no American
wacea for the 1.897.485 farmers who pro
duce! it. I If the Republican policy of
"Amcncaa markets and American Wages
kr American workmen" had been enforced
tint ar the production would have been
cm ti.n to 11.666,925,861, and each farm
er would have been peimitted to labor only
22r (i1.q and to plant only three-quarters of
the Lad, or 1,897,485 farmers, with their

cuiBoioa sense these 1.897,485 American

ETi iikets ami receive foreign wastes for their
v.vik; hut '.he Republican party had the
power to levy and did levy a tax OI 20 per
cent, upon the cross amount jot their
Jciei-n wages."
V e think that clear and correct.
T 1 I
Jt.TiO Js that if the Republican party
has its way for its cry is, "American
wages and American markets for
American workmen" that !it will
t i
actually deprive'2,000,000 of j farmers
of all markets and of course of all
wages or income. Read the para
graph again and you will see that by
the Radical Chinese 'Wall J plan 1,
97,485 of the farmers of 1880'would
be entirely cut off from markets and
. profits or wages. By this time the
Dumber is grown to more than 2,-
000,000. !

war upon the, farmers is altogether

lulwve have shown in extracts from
Mr. Willson's discussion, and .from
the Louisville Courier-Journal. The
World says on this point:
"Imnorts are the cross waeea earned by
American workmen for the wotk done for

a paid for with labor. Coin is only a mea

will not bear examination. If it
was true then the free-trade sys
tem prevailing among the States
of the f American Union is a
great absurdity and blunder. Why
does not New York consume at
home all it produoes instead of ex
changing 'c J sending the Burplus
into otner States? If the home
market Republican dodge is true
then Massachusetts should consume
at home all of its' shoes and Penn
sylvania all of its wheat and" Ohio
all of its pork. But the thing is
false, and the practice shows it to
be false, i
The principle of exchange or bar
ter that obtains among the States
of , the American Union is the Bame
principle; that prevails -among all
nations. I
The New York Nation of the 16th
inst. presents the matter in an in-
structive way in the following:
"We may best' get at the heart of the
matter by asking why it is that the farmer
does does not nowadays, as. he once did.
make his own clothes. It is obvious that,
if he combed and spun and wove his own
wool, he would be emoloyme his own cap
ital and furnishing wages to his own fam
ily. He would save the expense of trans
porting the wool to a market, and trans
porting the clothes back again; he would
not do paying a pront to the woollen man
ufacturer or wages to his workmen, and
would, in snort, be enjoying all the advan
tages of a home market in the highest roa-
sible degree. What has induced the farmers
of the world to sacrifice all these advan
tages? Simply the fact that they have
iouna mat tney could get more and better
clothes by making this sacrifice. Thev
have found that they obtained a higher
pront npon tneir capital and better wages
for their labor by producing, not clothes,
but articles which they exchanged for
clothes. It is true that a protective tariff
tends to compel them to accept the advan
tages of the home market by making them
accept worse and rewer clothes in exchange
for their products than they would receive
if trade were free: but the advantages of
the division of labor are so much greater
man tnose oi tne borne market, that farm
ers still find that it does not pay them to
make their own clothes."
PROTECTION UBVB &XE-NO, 3.
The Woollen tax is a rascally tax.
Even the leading woollen manufac
turers, or many of them, are out
favoring the Mills reduction,
tax on wool hurts the farmers.
tax injures all people who labor or
who are poor, and for this true and
simple reason: It taxes the coarser
fabrics much higher than it taxes the
finer fabrics. This is as true as
words of Holy Writ. It is a great
wrong. It is oppressive. There are
some 20,000,000 of toilers in this
country who work for a living. Leg
islation under the Republicans has
alwayB favored the rich and borne
hard upon the poor. The very class
who feel taxation heaviest is the
class that is legislated against.
If you tax a farmer or laboring
man heavily you reduce his means of
living, deprive him of many com
forts and- increase the burdens of
life. The farmer has no protection.
But he $3 taxed morning, noon and
night, in! all be buys and to enrich
others: j
Why is not the farmer evjsry way
as good a man, as worthy a citizen
as the manufacturer? The latter is
the pet of the Republicans, while the
former is taxed and burdened and
discriminated against. The farmers
are far more important characters in
our country than the manufacturers
are, but the Radicals have not found
it Out.' j
Dockcry is a member of the Farm
era' Alliance, and yet he is a High
Protectionist and wants a higher tax
to be laid upon his brother farmers.
We said that the I farmers were
much more important to the country
than are the manufacturers. Is not
this so? Read.
First, : there is more than four
times as much money invested Jin
agriculture than there is in manufac
tures, .'j . j
Second, there are four times as
many people in this country depen
dent upon agriculture as there are
dependent upon manufactures.
Third, the actual exports of the
United States for 1887 were thus di
vided: manufactures, $136,735,105;
agricultural, $123,073,798, or nearly
four times as much of agrioulture as
of manufactures. j
What is the value of products for
each worker or capitalist ? Each
person engaged in manufactures has
a product of $2,000, while each far.
mer or farm hand gets but $200. The
protected manufacturer gets ten times
as much as the unprotected farmer
gets. Consider that. Ia it right ?
What is the per cent of product
on capital invested? ' It is 70 per
cent for the protected manufacturer,
while the unprotected farmer receives
but 14 J, a great difference. Now
ought this to be ? Why should it
be? Is not the farming interest of
more importance than the manufac
turing, and by a very great deal ?
Why, then, have the Republicans
for more than a quarter of a century
steadfastly legislated against the
farming interests and for the manu
facturers ? Ignorance or a complete
sell-out to Monopoly is the only pos
sible answer. I j

We conv the
following from him:
"This table shows that the averaea vlelrl
of $100 invested in -manufacturing indus
tries ia five timer ! greater than the averase
return from $100 invested in farming ope
rations. This display may be attributed
to the system which arbitrarily taxes agri
culture for the benefit of nearly all manu
facturing industries, whilst th&manufactu-.
rerjit the same time regulates the pay of
his unskilled labor by the rate Which the
farmer establishes-out of hiameanenrnflta
The manufacturer's earnings are adjusted
to the measure of subsidy which the tariff
enables him to levy on the consumer.- The
wage ne pays is regulated by the sum which
a laboring man can earn for himself when
he tills the land, and thus becomes his own
employer; -Labor seldom or never obtains
a greater reward than the sum It will sell
ior m the open market
--The hackneyed argument dinned into
the ears of farmers, that they are sharers in
the advantages of a policy which carries
five dollars of return to the protected inter
ests for every dollar dug out of the land, is
one oi me coldest laisiuea ever imposed
upon human credulity."
When the farmer would exchange
or barter his-products his 'surplus
rather, he must pay at least a tax of
$47.10 upon every $100, under the
present Republican Tariff, and in
most cases he must pay from 50 to 75
per cent. Thi is oppressive
it is downright; robbery.
Nay,
Look at this: for salt he pays a tax
of 85 per cent.; for wire, 106 per
cent.; for saltpetre, 111 per cent.;
for common cloth, from 57 to 208
percent.; sugar, 78 per cent.; win
dow glass, 85 per cent.; horse shoe
nails, 126 per cent.; mixed woollen
goods, 77 per cent., and so on, mak
it plain to be seen that he actually
receives less than 50 cents on a dol
lar for whai he' sells.
Is not this ruinous? .Is it not
really infamous? The farmer gets
no protection ; the manufacturer gets
all. The farmer can not bo protect
ed. So farj from this his property is
taxed .higher, his poll tax is higher,
his purchases are all higher. He
can find no relief in the Republi
can party that demands higher taxes,
and the freeing from taxes of luxu
ries. The Chicago platform de
mands Free Whiskey and More Pro
tection. That means more taxes for
the farmer and working people gen
erally to pay. Is that right? None
but a greedy Monopolist will dare
say yes. -I I -:
There is a book out called "Recol-
j i
lections of the Emperor William" of
Germany. It is by Louis Schneider,
who was a sort of Court Chamberlain
or Privy Court Councillor. He says
the old Emperor was always kind and
civil to his servants. Here is an an
ecdote told by the author:
"Whenever I! showed the Emperor the
picture ol& battle it might be Gravelotte
or any other with (Jount Moltke Hurrying
up to announce that the fight was now
won, the Emperor would Bhake his head
and remark, 'Curious that people imagine
things of that sort. At a battle where I
myself commanded in chief I must surely
know at night when I dismount from my
horse whether it has been won or not. I
don't want any one to announce the fact to
me.'" i
We have had for days a copy of
the New York Nation containing an
interesting article from Prof. Love,
of the University of North Carolina,
relative to the first College Observa
tory in the United States. He shows
quite conclusively that to the Uni
versity of North Carolina belongs
this honor. We laid aside the article
intending to copy all or the most of
it, but the crowded condition of our
columns in Campaign times caused us
to delay. In the meantime it has got
into other State papers and now this
brief announcement will suffice.
Prof. .Love has done well in bringing
this matter into prominence. North
Carolina has been first in many
things for which it never had credit.

Bkblin, August 25. The meeting be"
tween Count Kalnoky. Austrian Foreign
Minister, and Signor Crispi, Italian Prince
Minister, at Eger, does away with, the ne
cessity of a conference between the three
statesmen at Friedrichsrue . Kalnosky and
Crispi dined together, i and after dinner
both granted interviews to representatives
of the press. They stated that there would
be no change in the positions of their gov
ernments, and that the alliance would be
maintained. Crispi says, regarding the
seizure of Massowah by Italy, that he does
not believe that France will eventually
deny the right of Italy to occupy: that
place. Concerning Tripoli, he says the
Italian Government relies upon the belief
that the common sense of the French peo
ple will prevent their attempting any ag
gression beyond Tunis. A single rod of
ground taken from Tripoli would be a
declaration of war against Italy,
wherein Germany and Austria would
join according to their present compact.
The tone of Crispi toward journalistic in
terviews since the conference with Bis
marck suggests that his government, while
protesting, will support the league of
peace, and means to catch France isolated.
The leagae for war, Crispi says in his in
terview, has so far succeeded. I

WASHINGTON.
Tne President's message tne All
Absorbing Topic Party Lines Drawn
in Regard, to it Senator morgan's
Speeen on tne President's message
on tne Fisheries matter. i
- iBr Telegraph to the Kornlnjr Star,
Washington, August 24. The Presi
dent's message on the subject of the
fisheries treaty is the ali-absorbing topic of
conversation among the few members
present in the House to-day. Party lines
are already being drawn, the Democrats
praising the message as a . statesmanlike
utterance, and the Republicans generally
condemning it as purely political .
- Washington, August 24. In the Se
nate to-day Mr. Morgan introduced a bill
identical in terms with that introduced in
the House yesterday by Representative
Wilson, to give effect to the President's
message on the treaty. -
The following are fuller extracts from
Mr. Morgan's speech in the Senate to
day : . I
Mr, Morgan began by saying the message
which came in yesterday afternoon and
which had been read this morning, Beemed
to have produced a great shock upon
Senators of the Republican aids. - Its first
effect was to cause the Senator from Ver
mont to interrupt the Senator from Iowa
(Wilson),in bis loved employment of speak
ing upon i the i political situation in the
South, and asked him to give way for an
adournment.
Mr. Edmunds May I interrupt the Sena
tor to say that he is entirely mistaken T i
Mr. Morgan Then I am mistaken in
what my eyes have seen. j
Mr. Edmunds I suggested. as the Senate
chamber was empty, and knowing nothing
of the paper of which we are now speak
ing, to my friend from Iowa, that he had
better let us adjourn, and he said he would
when he ; reached the paragraph, and he
did. i i i
Mr. Morgan Thereupon, Mr. Presi
dent, being very greatly surprised that the
President of the United States should be
treated with such discourtesy, I interrupted
the Senator from Vermont to say that a
message bad been brought into this body
which related to the fisheries treaty, and
thereupon the Senator from Vermont in
formed the Senate that the reading of that
message could wait.
Mr. Edmunds That is true.
Mr. Hoar here asked leave to add one re
mark to his speech, saying that for himself
and be had no doubt, for the Republicans
of the Senate he was in favor of giving
the President any authority in regard to
this matter if on examination it should be
found to be needed. , I
Mr, Morgan (resuming), said that there
upon, in order to get the Senators on the
Republican side to forget the dictation of
their caucus arrangement upon this matter,
he called for the yeas and nays, and the
vote reyealed a pure party division as to
whether or not the President's . message
should be read. The Senate was not in the
habit of adjourning at 3 or 4 o'clock when
business was pressing, and the Senate was
not unusually thin. This morning, with
out any opportunity to read this message
except through the courtesy of the House,
the Senate was precipitated into debate,
but he wished to say to the Senator from
Vermont that his tactics were not available,
because there was no debate that could put
the friends of this message or of the Presi
dent in the slightest discomfort. The Pre
sident had laid before the people in a true,
manly way, the situation In respect to our
relations with Canada, and no exhibition
of caucus carcass could lessen the effect of
that message upon the honest American
mind. t i
Mr. Edmunds disclaimed any intention
to be discourteous to the President, saying
that he found in the Record of this morn
ing that six messages were laid before the
Senate yesterday, which had been received
the day before. (Veto messages).
Mr. Morgan said that the Senate did hot
know what those messages referred to, but
in this case the -Senator rom Vermont
knew what the message related to. There
fore, it was nothing less, he thought, than
a determined effort on the part of that Sen
ator to say to the President that he still
entertained sovereign contempt for him.
He believed the President and Democratic
party could both stand that without the
slightest tremor. It now turns out, as the
evidence clearly established, that the pur
pose of all this opposition to the President,
in respect of his dealing with these fishe
ries, had not been to get the government or
the people into better shape, but to entrap
the Executive and put him into side lines
into a straight jacket where he would
do the bidding of the minority of the peo
ple of the United States represented in this
chamber by the majority, and where; he
should have no opinion to do anything else
than what they required and commanded.
They had even threatened the President
with impeachment if he dared to disobey
their commands and to countervail their
bill. j
Mr. Morgan quoted extracts from the
majority report on the fisheries treaty, the
language of which he interpreted aa em
bodying a distinct threat that the President
of the United States was to have the rod
held over him, and in the event that he did
not -think it iproper to conform hisconsti
tutional policy to suit the wishes of j the
majority in this body or the Committee on
Foreign Relations, that he might expect
that this abuse of his constitutional powers
would be brought in judgment against
him. He was very much gratified to know
that the President was not alarmed at this
at all. The retaliation law of March, 1887,
Mr. Morgan said, left it discretionary
with the President to do or not to do as he
thought best Every Senator, when he
was considering the retaliation law, knew
that the only possible effect of it was to
bring Canada nearer to the line of what
the United States believed to be cor
rect in her dealings with this country.
and thereby to establish the basis or founda
tion for the new treaty upon which the
Senate had been required to act. He had dis
cussed the retaliation law as a law, looking
to the treaty as a result. The Senator from
Vermont had discussed it as a law which
looked to war as the result. He (Morgan)
had not been for retaliation for the purpose
of destroying Canada,much less for the pur
pose of injuring the people of the United
States. ; He had been for putting it in the
power of the President to retaliate and
thereby convince Graat Britain and Canada
that the United States had armed its local
authorities with power enough to rec
tify whatever wrong they might do,
and that the United States meant to exe
cute its purpose unless they came to some
wise, and just and honorable agreement
with it. If any Senator had proposed, to
do something else, let him avow it ; if any
Senator thought that it was the duty
of the President immediately to pro
ceed to retaliate on Canadian commerce for
injuries and wrongs that had been done to
the United States previous to that time, let
hun avow It. j

y.THE RED BAD DANA.
Judge Tburman at Cnleago Tne
BarbecueAn Immense Gathering
The Old Roman's Speecn. j
j By Cable to the Morning Star
Chicago, August 25. Judge Thurman
and his party on Friday travelled in the
private car of General Manager Spicer, of
the Grand Trunk, and it was understood
that they were guests of the road. How
ever, before reaching South Bend, the
superintendent of the road, managed to get
orders to the conductor to collect fare from
the entire party. It was a disagreeable
task for him, but he obeyed orders, and
every member of the party, including
Judge Thurman himself, paid for his
pasMgo with good solid cash. j
The parade of to-day began to foim
soma - time before noon, although 12
o'clock was the time set, and soon
after that hour marched through
the! streets to escort the Judge
and party to the train, on which they were
taken to Cheltanftam, Beach. Prominent
in the parade were organizations of natu
ralized citizens with mottoes, such aa ''We
make citizens legally," "No dynamite in
ours," and other expressions of their loy
alty o-tbeir adopted country - The travel
ling men and local political organizations,
same organizations from neighboring
towns, bands and carriages, mads up the
rest of the procession.
Judge Thurman was greeted withfcreat
enthusiasm by the immense crowd thai filled
the sidewalks along the line or march.
At the BeaGh a grand barbecue had been
prepared, at which ten beeves and twenty
sheep were served, besides car loads of
other eatables and drinkables. No expense
had been spared to make the day a grand
success. j
Cheltenham Beach was crowded with
people, estimates of the number ranging
from 40.000 to 50,000. The stand bad been
erected in the middle of the big Expoai
tion Hall, and around that stand eager thou
sands jostled in vain attempts at last to
see j the speaker. On one side of the hall
was a big and booming bar; just outside
was a roller-coaster in active operation,
three engines industriously puffed and
steamed a short distance away, and an en
ergetic drum corps lent its aid in attempt
ing to drown out the speaker.. The Judge
did his best. He was in good voice and
had a fine speech ready, but mortal man
could cot make himself heard against
the; combined opposition that greeted him.
He went over much the same ground as in
his Port Huron speech, the tariff being its
principal subject, although he handled it
in a different manner.
It had been desiredjthat he should give
some expression of his opinion in regard to
the! President's recent fishery message, but
he shrewdly remarked that "it is a poor
lawyer who expresses an opinion without
having thoroughly reviewed the case." He
desired to obtain . copies of the original
treaties, as well other documents, but was
unable to do so. His utterances upon the
subjeet were made at the beginning of hia
speech. He said; "You have within the
last few days beard not a little about the
message of the President to the
Congress of the United States hur
rahs for Cleveland on the subject of the
rejection of the fisheries treaty, so-called.
Now. my friends, allow me to Bay a word
upon that subject. I have no copy of the
fisheries treaty in my possession here. I
therefore cannot discuss it, for I would not
discuss it from mere recollection; and I
have no copy cf the President's message
with me, down here, and therefore I can
not read or quote from it; but this I want
to say to you: Some years ago this country
was greatly agitated by a party called the
Know-Nothing party. It was a party to
whom the Irishman was an abomination of
abominations. Laughter. 1 And if he
were a Catholic Irishman, he was the ac
cursed of the earth. Cries of "We don't
want it again." But now, strange to
say, i those men who a few years ago
were li.no w .Nothings and tne most abusive
of men of the Irish, of the German, and of
all f oreicn born people, but of the Irishmen
especially, are seeking to court what is
Called the Iriih vote, to get the Irishmen to
vote against men who stood firm by them
in defence of their rights. "They can't
do it!" In defence of everything that
-was alleged against them. "They never
wilir'l No, I hope not. Now they are
seeking to get their votes by misrepresent
ing Grover Cleveland and asserting that he
is under British influsnce. "But they
will never get it." My friends, there never
was a more false assertion made by mortal
man than that Grover Cleveland is un
der British influence. You might as
well undertake to tell me that Washington
was under British influence as that Grover
Cleveland is. (Cheers.) If any man
thinks for a moment that there is anything
in that charge worth investigating, all l
have to say to him is, read the President's
message sent to Congress this very week,
and if you can then say that he is under
British influence you can say that white is
black and black is white. (Cheers and
great applause )
i No, my friends, Grover Cleveland knows
too well what are the interests of this
Country. He has too much sympathy with
the American people, native and natural
ized, to be under any false or improper in
fluence of any country on the face of the
globe, or under the Influence of any
country except his own.
Now, having said this much, and re
served what I have to say on this subject
to a future occasion when I take the field
somewhat at large, I come now to the field
that I first mentioned the tariff question
and ask your attention to what I have to
say. More interruptions from noise here
occurred.

were made with a knife, and the protru
