EN A‘MAN stops you on the highway, puts a loaded pistol to your head and says, "" Your money or your life!” you know thatit the law catches him it will send him to the penitentiary; but when aman, like “ Old Hutch " of Chicago, robs a hundred thousand persons by mak- ing them (pay tribute to his avarice through the necessity of having the bread which he controls, there is no practical punishment or remedy with which the law or the gospel is acquainted, Is that right? Should one man have immunity of punishment because he is a bigger and meaner robber than another ? W'! HIS FEE. FINN THE HERLER (immediately after his wedding) —* Dem chi TARIFF FOR THE SOUTH. HE CONSPICUOUS method in the Democratic policy of tariff attack, the breadth and bigness of the line drawn between southern and northern interests, show that the inspiration and purpose to be served are southern and sectional. Cleveland, knowing his retention of power abso- lutely depends upon southern assistance, follows with more obstinacy per- haps, but not less slavishness, in the servile path of his political predeces- nd Buchanan, and becomes dough-face the third. Wool was to be made free because it was northern, The duty on iron cotton ties, and on the wrap of the cotton bales, was to be taken off solely for the interest of the south, ‘The cotton crop of 1888 will not be less than ‘The wrap and ties average twelve pounds to the cost at the narrowest estimate half a dollar per bale; and the sale ain at ten cents per pound, the wrap not being deducted, brings a pre- a dollar and a quarter. In other words, the cotton planters get nd three-quarter million dollars for wrap and bindage more than they ‘The Mills bill, letting in free ties and bindage, would lower the cost one-half, and add to the profit of the cotton-grower two and a quarter ad- ditional million of dollars. His majesty King Cotton, like Cleveland, “cares not what happens if it does not happen to himself.” The Republican policy, as proposed in the senate tariff bill, is not for reduction, but revision, in the interests of American labor. It proposes to diminish, for the helping of every household, the cost of sugar by taking off‘over one-half the duty, and also one-half the duty from rice. ‘The Mills theory is that free wool will stimulate the domestic growth of wool, and also lessen its cost. It is therefore presumable that the south- ern rice-grower and sugar-planter will certainly be enriched by giving them the more favorable opportunity of only a fifty per cent. tariff reduction. It is a poor rule that will not work south- ways as well as north-ways. ‘The sen- ate bill also proposes to cancel the rev enue tax on the poor man’s tobacco and retain it on the rich man’s cigar. It proposes to increase the tariff on high- priced and imported broadcloths worn by the wealthy, It retains the tax on liquors and takes it off of alcohol to enable American manufacturers to suc~ cessfully compete with the foreign mak- ers of varnishes and the thousand other prodacts of which alcohol is the vehicle or base, In short, the Republican pro- position is to foster American produc- tion in the interest of the great major- ind the Democratic purpose is to encourage foreign production in the in~ terests of a few, sors, P seven millions of bales. bal mium ane shows the way of the wind better than a broad spread of canvass, National success depends upon multiplied individual success. Public opinion is but the aggregation of personal opinion. An English proprietor of a large worsted mill within sight of the capital F of this state said, “With free wool I can afford to sink my investment here, return to Great Britain and there man- ufacture with its cheaper capital and labor, and export to the United States with a certainty of far larger profit? A gentleman acquainted with-and interested in the worsted mills of Play ‘m right, parson, an‘ dey'Il . Bradford, England, under the temporary assumption that the listener fav- ored free trade, said to the writer that seventeen now idle mills in that town were anxiously waiting to supply this market on the passage of any bill lowering the American duty on woolens. He further said rents were balf lower than here, and a thousand houses in that manufacturing town were tenantless. And why? “Well, our people are or have to be satisfied with a single living-room at the lowest possible cost, and unless. some such relief comes as this England is on the verge of industrial bankruptcy.” A prominent official, in sympathy with the purpose and ultimate plans of this administration, and now connected with the pension department in Washington, in a fervid denunciation of the Republican policy, said to the writer, “ Lam a southerner, living in the south before the war, and since. I am in favor of absolute free trade. I would have unrestricted importation of labor, I would admit Chinamen by the million, and drive the negroes into the sea, The Mongolian isa thriftier and cheaper worker than the black. What this country needs, and what we want, is lower and low-priced labor.” ‘The two witnesses are in accord, ‘The verdict is left to the jury, and will be announced November the sixth. as comicbooks.com
