The Republican ideas, in? from expressions we have heard, is
that a tariff is not a tax, but some kind of blessing that benefits certain
classes without injuring any other. They even claim that it does not add to the
cost of the protected articles; but this is not consistent with the plea always
made in Congress, that unless a tariff protection is given they can not compete
with foreign products. That if it does not add to the prices which are demanded
for the goods, there is no protection, is a truth so plain that anybody with
ordinary common sense can see the point. Farmers are not protected by a tariff
on wheat and corn, because it does not and can not add to the price of
wheat and corn, for this country is and exporter and not an importer of those
articles, and the price is fixed in competition with the cheapest labor in
Europe and Asia. A tariff on tin plate does add to the price of tin, and it is
for that purpose alone that it is urged; and this is true of the other protected
articles of manufacture.
The following, from the Journal of Agriculture,
is sufficient to answer the long article in the Mirror regarding the circular
signed by Judge MADISON and James H. WAGGENER, as members for the F. & L.
Union, in favor of Judge THOMAS. The above mentioned paper is the organ of the
Farmers' and Laborers'
We were unintentionally absent from the county convention last
Saturday. In assisting to entertain a
We may have to enlarge
our paper soon. We have just had an offer from an advertising agent of $?,
for running a five inch ad one year.
No better
evidence could be shown as to the weakness of the Republican in the tariff
discussion than is afforded by the ?? movement to check all debate and
force a vote on Wednesday next. The truth is the Democrats have had their op??
crowded to the wall and they are glad to escape the scathing review and
criticism of their work by another assumption of arbitrary
parliamentary power in forcing a final vote on a matter of great economical
importance without due and clear consideration. Although the Democrats had a
tight grasp on their political throat, it needed the utterances of the erratic
Ben BUTTERWORTH to complete their demoralization. They had endeavored to choke
off the Ohio man and refused to assign him a leading place
in the debate, although he is considered one of the braniest men on the Republican side but the gentleman from
Ohio had something to say, and was
determined to say it. It was, without
doubt, a curious legislative episode to see a leading Republican orator
dependent for sympathy and applause upon his political enemies, while his own
political friends sat around with misery depicted on their faces. The Democrats
will print this Republican tariff speech, or rather honest tariff admissions
made by a Republican, for circulation in the next campaign.
As to the
McKinly bill it will pass the House, for the leaders
say it must go through, and the Republicans are too well drilled not to obey the
commands of their leaders. That there is individual dissatisfaction with the
measure, almost in its every line, need not be said; that personal grievances
and discontent will all be sank in the effort to make a record for the grand old
party.
The demagogues in the United States Senate of the Blair stripe,
have concluded that the post-canteen system in the army must go, because the
enlisted men are there said light wines and beer. At the legislative contest,
as is known, the Democratic Senators upheld the canteen, not that they had
any particular favor for liquors, but because acknowledging the fact that
soldiers as well as other men will drink less under restraint than they would if
given full liberty. At the canteen, too, they got no whiskey - only beer and
light wines. As evidence of the good sense of Democratic Senators in
the matter, the following letter from the commandant of a leading military
post has been received.
"The canteen has been a success in every
particular. This ??niated ? in situated near a
small town, where only the poorest kind of whiskey can be had. The canteen has
remained the temptation for the town by providing the men comforts as well as
light beverages. It has done much for the discipline of the post and the
contentment of the enlisted men.
The leaders of the Republicans in
Congress now recognize that they are confronted by a condition and not a theory.
The trouble is, that with all that huge surplus in the treasury, which
the Democratic administration left, they have not enough money to go
round. One thing must be done, they say, and that is to increase the
pension expenditures by many millions. If the Morr??
bill, passed by the House, is agreed on, the immediate annual expenditure,
according to the war department authorities, will be at least $??,???, ???
annually, or, with what is now allowed, in the neighborhood of $175, 900,000 a
year. If the bill passed by the Senate, known as the dependent bill, is taken as
a compromise, the increased outlay will be $10,000,000 annually. Well, as said,
these millions must be provided, for the Republicans dare not increase the anger
of the soldier boys, and as Legislators have already
been more than
reckless in their drafts on the treasury, it is recognized that a halt must
be called. In fact, some of the huge expenditures contemplated must be
lopped off, and in this is anxiety, for the river and harbor men are fearful
that their pet measure will die aborning. The public
building men also realize that that their schemes may turn out to be failures,
while the only people happy are the pensioners in prospective and the subsidy
grabbers, who want to revive commeres by dipping their
hands deep into the treasury.
