In these States protection has not

of making it an extensive or growing

" Bat eTen if it did protect and fos

mast be considerably interested to
be benefitted by that protection, for
if he is ; not the extra cost of the
woollen clothing he buys, would, in
conseqdeace of the duty on manu
factured goods, largely exceed any
benefit he " might derive from the
duty on wool. The 'protective duty
on the wool of a small flock of sheep
would soon be eaten up by the cost
of the woollen garments worn by the
farmer and his family, What the
average farmer in this country wants
is cheaper woollen and less;shoddy
clothing, and he can very well afford
to take that for the delusive protec

The Republicansm the Senate

one might think that; every farmer

whether there are two farmers in a

give any attention to the raising of

. f Senatorial courtesy" and "Sena
torial dignity" got a big send off Fri
day when they were so forcibly illus
trated by that edifying colloquy be
tween - .Senators Hill -"and Harris.
They were both mad, of course they
were mad, for Senatorial dignity has
never- yet - prevented the - average
Senator from getting mad when an
other. Senator trod, opon his ' Senato
rial corns.: ..But they, mast have been
very mad when two gentlemen', both
prtlty well along in years, got to ac
cusing each other" of t indulging in
"plantation manners" and in the
manners of the 'slums." This "plan
tation" talkhas sometime j been in
dulged in by Northern Republicans
in Congress when they wanted to
vent a little ' spleen against some
Southern member, but this is the first
time we remember, to have
seen that particular line of
denunciation indulged in by
a Northern Democrat, a fact which
mast., have surprised : Mr. Hill's
friends quite as much as it most have
amused the Republicans, to whom,
by the way, Mr. .Hill has been-getting
very close lately. ' When the
thermometer runs high, and things
are not going on to suit Senators
they can't be expected to continue in
the best of humor, but we think the
universal verdict will be that both
Senators Hill and Harris made a very
unseemly exhibition wheto they
turned their, tempers loose Friday,'
and performed to the amusement of
some . and the disgust of a much
larger number.
We bave been waiting with inter
est to see - what position I Senator
Sherman' would take on the income
tax. which he so ably, and - zealously
defended in 1870, when he contended
that it was not only the most equit
able of all methods "of taxation, but
the only one which " pat' the burden
of taxation where it should be put,
opon those' best able to bear it. . We
knew that he was slippery and un
scrupulous but in this instance he
had made such a record on that ques
tion that we were curious to see
whether be would stand on it, or if
not how he would crawfish out He
crawfished, and justified the crawfish
ing on the ground that although the
income tax was the fairest of all tax
ation, it wasn't necessary now, and
tbereforerhe was opposed to it, Mr.
Sherman, in 1870, objected to depend
ing for revenue on taxes on consump
tion, and contended that the wealth
of the country should bear its just
part,' but now that taxes enough, in
his opinion, have been levied on
articles of consumption, there is no
reason why the man of wealth should
be required to contribute anything
more than he ordinarily does. Mr.
Sherman has suddenly lost the sym
pathy he had for .the overtaxed con-
who is taxed a good deal
more now than ne was in i7U, but
the income tax then was a Republi
can measure, and now it is a Demo
cratic measure, which makes a good
deal of difference in the eyes of John
Sherman. ;
V
tence has been exploded often, by
the figures of the cost of production
and the wages paid, but these "ex
posures have not prevented i the
manufacturers ' from continuing to
play the same old hypocritical game.
The following : extract .-from ; the
Philadelphia Times shows how it
works in Pennsylvania:
The steel worrerV of Pittsburg and
Braddock are after explanations. They
want to know why the labor cost of a
too of steel rails is only $3 with the tariff
at $13 44. This is the tariff intended to
provide a compensatory wages balance
and that jias provided nothing but re
duction. The puddlers now getting $4
a ton are also inquiring wby ibe labor
ccst ot a ton of iron should be as low as
467 with the tariff at 15.93. There
will be no answers to these questions, aa
the subsidized iron and steel interests
teel perfectly secure in the doable profits
they receive, assured. that when the time
comes the mill men and paddleta can be
scared by the same old stories. . Be
tween the dead equality racket and the
tartn dividends there is no Ume leu to
explain the beauties of the bounty sys
tem and why the tariff is lor the interests
that own the product and not for the la
borer who makes it, .- K
- CURRENT COMMENT.
It is a noteworthy fact that
the Philadelphia Manufacturer, the,
organ ' of the Pennsylvania tariff
lords; is for the free coinage of sil
ver. So is Senator Cameron. Add
to this that every Republican con
vention thus far held has adopted a
silver plank along with a high-tariff
plank. What does It all mean ? : Is
the drift of Republican leaders to
ward loose financial - views ' real or
only a show to win allies for the tariff
lords? In .Tennessee aild Alabama
the Republicans have fused with the
Populists instead of standing up for
sound money. Is the grand old
party demoralized ? Baltimore Sun,
JDem.
The New York Times yester
day, published a statement showing
that Senator Aldrich, of Rhode
Island, who had as much to do with
making the McKinley Tariff act as
any other man, and who is .the fore
most opponent of tariff reform in
the present Congress, is a partner of
Mr.' Searles, the treasurer of the
Sugar Trust, in a street 'railway
speculation to which the Trust has
advanced $1,500,000. This- state
ment makes, clear "Mr. Aldrich's ac
tivity in seeking to promote the in
terest of the Trust, and furnishes to
the public a further proof of the far
reaching corruptions that have grown
up under the wing of Protection.

Comptroller of Currency, Eckels,
says the banks have a plethora of
money which they are anxious to put
out. If they would send a lot of it
down this way there wouldn't be any

predicts that when the tariff ' bill is
settled the money will find its way
out and that there will be "a healthier
condition of trade than We have had
for some years." ' ,

At last report she was said to be in a

It is also much the best form to have the

And a wonderful friendship springs
up between the two. As the summer
days wane they become almost Inaepaf
rablo. The old man's eyesight is failing.
The boy becomes eyes to him. After a
lifetime Bpent ui the thickest of life's
battle the old man is spent and -worn.
He finds rest and consolation in the com
pany of the child, and with him he lives
over once more his childhood days.
One day the little fellow's cheeks are
wet with tears. In- answer to anxious
queries, he says:
"I zo been cwyin.
'Tea, I see, but what about?" j
"I bweaked my toy wagon. "
"Oh, that is too bad." i
And with many expressions of sym
pathy the tears are wiped from the rosy
cheeks, and the child is comforted until
he is smiling again. j
"Does you ever bweak your toys,
grandpa?" he asks. j
"Sometimes," the old man thought
fully replies as he brings to mind vari
ous shattered business-schemes, broken
idols of one sort and -another that have.
strewn his pathway, "sometimes, but,''
he adds, "the toys are not worth crying
about" 4
"Did you cwy, grandpa?" j
"Yes, I cried when I broke my toys,
just like yon, little boy. " I
"WelL why am t de toys made
strong so dey won't break?" I
Dear little fellow! He does not know
that grandpa's toys and his were differ
ent and grandpa does not tell him of
the frailer toys than his broken cart men
love and weep over their destruction,
but, after he has gone, seta to work
f afihloning with his penknife a new bait
to take the place of the broken one, a
cart that will bear a child's usage, such
a one as will delight the heart of the
hoy.
When finished, it was a beautiful
toy, strong and durable, made of pine,
smoothed and oiled and trimmed in
brass headed nails.
A primitive workshop is fitted up and
little carts are made and presented to
other children. At last the idea gathers
force until from the tiny shop go dimin
utive chairs and cradles, rockers, bed-,
steads, oomplete sets of doll furniture
to the various hospitals in the city." In
to many a destitute home where child
ish lives grow stunted and dwarfed,
where little faces are gaunt and eerie.
these tokens of an old man s love found
their way. - ' A
wagon loads of soft pine wood have
came td the workshop to be changed in
to these toys. Two thousand six hundred
and seventy-five pieces have been scat-'
tered over the state, soma even making
their way Into France and Germany.
For five years the little shop has been
crowded with lumber, and the shelves
about the walls piled with the pretty,
finished pieces, ready to be sent away
COMMERCIAL
wherever there is a mourning childish,
heart.' These are gifts. Not one toy has
ever been sold it is the old man's way
of asking children's blessings ere the
hoary bead lies down to rest for aye.
The name of this friend of the chil
dren Is aerman Baldwin. He has been
a resident of Chicago S3 years and. of
northern Illinois 51 years. He is now
in his eightieth year. The eyesight ia
gone entirely from one eye" and nearly"
so from the other, yet with the aid of
three sets of spectacles he is still able to
see somewhat. He is a remarkably well:
preserved and handsome man, his face
showing few wrinkles, and with a clear,
ruddy complexion. Chicago Inter'
