BY WHilAM U. boKHARD WIIjMINUTUA. XX. 0. WlDXK3tA 1L0BJSTDS&? JULT 2. ! CAST FOOL THEM ALL yesterday we referred to the cut-and-dried' platforms being adopted by the Republican State conven tions wherein they declare their purpose to adhere to the protective tariff, and express disapproval of combinations (usually called trusts) organized for the purpose of cur tailing production and unfairly con trollinz prices. The reason assign ed for declaring for protection is friendship for the American work men, who are thus insured higher wages than they could command of the protective duties were reduced. This is Bimply a repetition of the old fraud which has characterized protection ever since "protection for protection's sake" became the avowed policy of the Republican stat esmen. I It is a fraud of the first water, for the American workman doesx not figure in it outside of the speeches of the high tariff advocates, and the men who run the protected indus tries, who reap the fcenefit of it. Don't they invaria hire the cheapest labor they can, when they can get suitable cheap labor, an d do they ever pay more for labor than they can get it for, regardless of the profits they make? What better proof can there be than this that they don't care a continental about the people who work for them. But the high tariff does not make high wages. Wages, regardless of high or low tariff, have always been higher in this than in other countries, both in the protected and unprotected industries; and as a rule higher in the unprotected than in the pro tected industries. Bat when we consider the value of the service rendered, the greater productive ca pacity per hand of the American workman, and the purchasing price of wages, the workmen in the pro tected industries of this country are not any better paid than 'the work- I men in similar industries in Eng jland, for instance, where wages are I higher than in any other European country. i That is the conclusion arrived at by a. committee of English work men who were sent to this country to study the industrial situation, as it affects the methods of produc tion and the condition of the work men. And England is a free trade country. This disposes of the fraudulent pretence that the Amer-, ican workmen is such a great bene ficiary of the protective tariff. But they will continue to'work that fake, Hanna will play the "full dinner pail" and continue to repeat "Keep on letting well enough alone." But they are not fooling the masses of the people as much as they think they are, for this tariff and trust .question has - been too much discussed to cut it off abrupt ly now with platform declarations. Too many prominent and leading Republicans have gone upon record and have spoken out in meeting with the hope of spurring this Con gress up to doing something to re lieve the people from the exactions made by the protected industries and by the trusts which are protect ed and encouraged by this tariff. Ex-Senator Washburn, of Minnesota, arid Governor flummings, of Iowa, both protection supporters, bed-rock Republican States, have on several occasions declared in favor of tariff reduction as something due, the peo ple, who have been bo long and so heavily taxed to encourage and fos ter our "infant industries." While there is more or less manufacturing done in both of these States, their principal industry is agriculture, and the farmers can't see why they should- continue to be taxed with out end for the benefit of men who operate industries which are able to stand alone without any tariff bol stering. Six Republican papers out of eight in the West endorse the position taken by ex-Senator Wash burn and Governor Cummings. Representative Babcock, of Wis consin, after the organization of the billion-dollar Steel Trust, blew a blast from his bugle and announced his purpose to stop that kind of co lossal combining by presenting a bill for the repeal of the tariff duties on all Trust-controlled manufactures which are exported and sold at a lower price in other countries than in this. He preposed to begin with the Steel Trust and follow up. They found a way to quiet and finally to gag him, but he had started the ball rolling in his 8tate and gagging him didn't stop it. The Republican Con gressional convention of the Tenth district of Wisconsin Babcock's State, adopted the following as one of the planks of its platform: That many of the industries, of this country- have outgrown the need of a proUria is made evident by the act that the American manufacturer has entered the markets of the world and is successfully competing; with the manufacturers of all other countries. Many of the tariff schedule adopted to foster infant industries have fully ejved that purpose, and have become a means of aiding; and building; up powerful trusts and combination, and aL tho? to from the Parchaaer the payment of StStStJil for toe ahia L uTr,-W,lumt unreason f 1 i,!ijlwhlc. wlu Plce upon the free list every article an product con- and such "j -"j , j , other articles aud products as are oe- yona lae neea or protection. This was simply expressing in different phrase the late President McKinley's recommendations in nis message to Congress wherein he urged tariff "reduction as a means of promoting reciprocity ana asserted that the way was made easy for this as so many of our industries had outgrown the needof pro tection, which he reiterated with emphasis in his Buffalo speech the dav before his assassination, ihese Wisconsin Republicans, for whom Mr. Babcook spoke before he was gagged, agreed with the President, who, they believed, meant what he said, as they meant" what they say in this Dlatform. The only purpose to be enectea by the perpetuation of a tariff for industries "that have outgrown the need of it." is. aa these Republicans sav. to foBter trusts. And yet the gchemers who put up State plat forms deny this and declare that the party must adhere to protection not OUiy to protect uur uiuuauica uviu harm but to ensure good wages to American workmen. They ought to resort to some other trickery; that is played out. TARIFF OBJECT LESSORS. Replying to an assertion by the Portland, Maine, Argus that Amer ican beef is sold in England, after paying freight, for ten cents a pound less than consumers in the large cities of the North have to pay, the Troy, N. Y., Press says this is "pre posterously untrue." The Lock port, N. Y., Union Sun in noting this presents an object lesson show ing how the tariff work's to the bene fit of the foreigner, and to the dis advantage of the home consumer. It says: "Preposterous but -not untrue Rieut here on the borders of Canada, just across the Niagara River, meat is sold cheaper than it can be bought on this side from the same packers. And furthermore, it has been brought over to this aide and sold after paying; the tariff,, cheaper than the Beef Trust prices to American consumers. The same is alio true of the iron and atee industries, whose products can be bought in Europe after paying; freight, ten dollars a ton cheaper than the same things can be bought in the United States. After the infant indus try has outgrown its mother to the detriment of home consumers, it is high time to let the infant walk alone, whether the infant be made of Penn sylvania steel or Troy linen. " Here are two object lessons. People living three thousand miles across the ocean can buy American beef for less money than the Ameri can consumer can, and yet the Beef Trust gives as a reason for the ad vance in prices to American con sumers, the scarcity and consequent increased cost of cattle and other animals for slaughter. That being the case of course the Beef Trust can send beef across the Niagara river and sell it for less than it charges consumers on this side of the river, and consumers on this side of the river can afford to go across the river, buy this same American beef, bring it across the river, pay tariff duties on it, and save money, and the probabilities are that there is a good deal of that kind of thing done And yet you couldn't get the Re publicans in Congress, with all their hypocritical talk about opposition to Trusts, to touch with a forty-foot pole the tariff on meat or animals for slaughter. EXPLOITING THE PHILIPPINES. The Philippine Civil Government bill, as passed, provides for issuing bonds to pay for the lands now owned and" held by the Friars, amounting in the aggregate to about 4,000,000 acres. These lands' are to become a part of the public domain and are to be opened to home steaders the same as other public lands. The supporters of this bill say they have taken precautions to pre vent these lands from being absorbed by corporations by limiting the amount of holdings by corporations to 2,500 "acres, a pretty large sized patch, by the way. But what is to prevent corporations, after securing the 2,500 .acres allowed under the law, to get other parties to secure 2, 500 Acre1 tracts, go through a mock sale, and turn these tracts over to the corporation until such corpora tion or corporations ' get control of all the land they want? The 2,500 acre limitation is a mere blind, a pretence of guarding against exploiting by corporations, which will amount to nothing. We Venture to say that the most valua ble portions of these lands are al ready spotted, and will be jumped as soon as the announcement is made that they are on the market, and we venture to add that the bulk of these lands and the best of them will be gobbled by Americans and corporations. In the language of the distinguished Mr. Flanna-gan,- of Texas, "What are we here for?". There isn't going to be any Amer ican immigration into the Philip pines, and therefore the hustlers and the corporations will have a fine opportunity for exploiting. v in his testimony before the Sen ate Committee Admiral Dewey Baid a good many things happen in war that are not communicated to the public. There are also a good maity things that don't happen that are communicated to the public. For instance, the public had been'aaaured at least a dozen times in- the past two years that the war was over in the Philippines. Southeastern Arlzoffa is coming to the front with the discovery of an immense deposit of marble. The . m m A. main ledge is over a thousand ieet wide and has been traced three miles. Near the centre is a pure white vein seventy-five feat tnicic which runs through it. There is also in the deposit a vein of jet black. There is little black marble in this country nearly all being imported from Europe. The white marble is pro nounced superior to the Italian im ported and harder than any louna in this conutry. An English syndicate has secured control of the property. A Cleveland, Ohio, man is using in his store and for his domestic pur pose a gas of his own manufacture, which is second in brilliancy only in electricity, and cheaper than any other eas in use. He claims to draw it direct from the air, as that fellow in the Danish West Indies does his electricity. BOOK BOTES. .

Well, what else is there in the Phil ippine Civil Government bill when cut down to the bone? Philadel phia Record, Dem. The formation of a Trust to control all the food products of the country is now projected?1 but, it will not frighten anybody, for two reasons. In the first place, all food products are at the price notch "all the public will stand;" in the second, the people are going to deal with the Trust issue at the nex election in a radical manner.--i?r00 lyn Citizen, Dem. Gen. Burt's plan to sell the Philippines to the Japanese for 1150,000,000, says the Indianapolis Sentinel, "is a great illustration of chattel liberty and chained inde pendence. it is also, however, a goodillustration of common sense. We could'not, perhaps, make a bet ter disposition of the country, unless we should give it to the smart little Japs free of charge. They could not well make a worse mess of pacifying and governing it than we have done. Charleston Neios and Courier, Dem. r The Michigan state republi can convention, enthusiastically championed, in general terms, the president of the United States, and indorsed nis acts ana policies in me same style. Then the convention proceeded to indorse with equal en thusiasm the acts of the Michigan delegation in the house, which has fought the most conspicuous part of the president's program, trade con cessions of Cuba. Not only has the Michigan delegation antagonized the president, but the members have been exasperatingly insolent in doing so.. That convention was more im partial than honest. Chattanooga Timrs,Jnd.
