THEIR
innings.
Casual reference was was made in
these coluius of a recent issue, rjla
ti«e to the incauceratiun ofVan Mar
tiuin the Stillwater jail,to which two
worthy and respected "citizens" took
exception and editorally charged the
Ilerald with mis-iepresentation, and
contorting the truth according to
our own fancy, regardless of the
facts in the case. It was not our in
tention to affront any good citizen
of which there are many in Stillwat
er, and had we known that the woi
thy editors of the "Populist Sentinel
combination" were intimate "jsso
dates'' of Mr. Martin or could be
classed properly as his enemies who
bore no better reputation than him
self, we certainly would have been
extremely reluctant about disclosing
current teports, and should have re
framed from referring to the matter
Under any circumstances.
We submit that thert is absolute
jy nothing in our previous article
that reflects disci-edit tipdti anybody
touch less intended to insdlt the
hiost sensitive and fastideous. It is
iiighiy pf-obably that, Mersrs. Walk-
fer and Hamilton were only to glad
bi an opportunity to express their
Sentimefits, to unbosom themselves
is it werb not for the edificatton of
Re public, but to gratify a personal
ambition to "speak thfeir piece"
which had heretofore bfe'fen held back
bn account of an "overcrowded ros-
trum ancJ a much wearied audience.''
Now the cruel woids have been
Spoken; heart strings have been torn
asunder: the family hearthstone pub
'ifcly discussed; conditions exposed;
Animosity displayed; Jack Harten-
bower mortified by a preversion 6f
facts; John C'lark classed as a crim'i
nal, publicly abused for complicity
ind fixing with The Herald's
Associate Editor in the framing of
in editorial, and as yet no serious
damage has been wrought, the world
Sfill moves while smiling countenan
arices on every hand, prodaim louder
than words can express "bow great
ind grand and good and just are
these two worthy defenders of law
and justice" as evinced' by their du
?1, double, united and convincing
answer, to a supposed and imagi-
nary wrong unintentionally irflictfed
and unthougbtedly promulgated to
the world through The Herald.
( Let no guilty man escape is our
motto, make crime odious by severe
punishment is our creed and doctrine
put let us not foiget charity in bur
-lansactions and dealing with all
mankind. Mr. Ufark is in no wisa
tesponsible for what has heretofore
appeared in these colums and ,jh
shouldering the responsibility we
think it is needless to make any ap-
ologies whatever. In regard to bur
signature on the bond, for personal
Reasons we did not sign it although
importuned to do so.
I Our respect for the Sentinel and
-populist has prompted the forj:go-
,ug, but please correct impressions in
|he tuture gentlemen, beforjB they
jam such generally publicity.
LABOR'S FAIK SHARE.
PROTECTION CAN OIVE NOTH-
ING TO WORKINQMBN.

est Responsible Bidder of the World

sumption ahd Production.
One of the best speeches made In the
house while the Dingley bill was being
discussed was made by John C. Bell
or Colorado. With facts which are in-
disputable and logic which is unan-
swerable he exposed many of the fal-
lacies of protection: His Exposure of
the absurd claim that protection helps
the workingman is especially gdod
Here is a part of It:
"But our friends upon the other side
say that they levy a tariff for the bene-
fit Of the wageworkers. I say to you
that any. tariff bill, I care not from
whom it com^s, that does not contain a
provision for prohibiting the free In-
flow of immigration from foreign coun-
tries is oblivious of the rights of labor
and is opposed to the interests of all
wageworkers. (Applause.)
"Protection is always asked In the
interest of others. Now, observe how it
is asked, in behalf of the poor laboring
man—just enough to cover the differ?
making fhem more than whole, while
the laborer tramps the countTy in
search of work, just as tie no* does
under the trust system.
"It is unfortunate that the Imtadrum
of the tariff has been sounded In the
ears of the people until many pt them
really believe that foreign trade is un-
important, If not a fcurse. Why did the
breaking of the steel rail pool put so
many men to work? It was because
the consequent lowered prloe for iron
an(! steel brought most liberal orders
froin abroad as well as home. Sup-
pose the tariff htf/l been prohibitive
and we woiild have bean confined to
the homo market. Would the manu-
faeturers have made so mduy gooda?
No, but they would have doubled their
profits on what they did mako. The
people could not have bought so many
because of the increased price. Who
would have suffered? First, the work
men, because th<# would have had
fswsr goods to mSke; seoondiy, the
ooneumer, because he oould not hare
Uptight so .many at a higher price.
Who, would have benefited? The
manufacturer, because he might hmr»

Who avfer Heard of the laboring man
getting rich manufacturing? The sta-
tisticians clearly figured from the cen-
sus of 1880 that aboift 6 per cent on
our duti&ttfe list would.cover the differ-
ence between the feuropean wage
schedule and ours, or that about 18 per
cent ad valorem cpvped the entire 1$-

"Is fhere any reaaQn why a high tar-
iff affects wages injuriously? Yes' by
enabling employer^ to build up a' vi-
cious trust system for the manufac«.
turet and against the laborer. Th*
high tariff makes the manufacturer
complete master ,of the wageworker
"Ih the review of,R. o, Dun & Coc,
in their Weekly RevieW of Trade
dated Feb. 12, it is stated;
"'•No other event of the week ap-
proaches In linportancs the disruption
of the steel-rail pool. In two dfiys
fays the report, 'after It a greater ton-
nage of rails was probably purchased
wian the entire production of the' last
year, reported at 1U)0,000 tons. An4 in-
stead of $28 In December and 425 in
January, $17 is now the price at which
works east and west are seeking or-
derS, And further,' says the report,
""ouf comPaay has been sellin#
t f'7 Chicago delivery. These salia
w 11 employ many thousand hands'
with an Important decrease in the cost
track laying on renewal of rail-
reads.^
"Now, my friends, let me ask ydu,
was it the rising or lowering price that
employed-these thousands of meH? Our
friend Mr. Hopkins of Illinois tells of
the benefits of a higher duty on iron
and steel. Did the steel rail pool need
itiore tariff?
"What is the difference In giving
the manufacturer a double profit
through a high tariff or through a
pool. Do they ever share the profits
of the pool with labor? No. will
they ever share the profits of a tariff'
Never.
"It takes j,o political economist to
answer these questions. If the United
States manufacturers can reap twice'
the profit undtr a high tariff by limit-
ing themselves to the home market and
running half time,, why should they
run full time and. Invatle foreign mar- !
Kets They never wilj; Th*y will Mt I
down comfortably and:sell their Uralti I
ed supply of goods for Increased profits,
made and handled less gooda, made ..
double profit, and really have gained,
as he would have had fewer to handle
for the satue profit.
"This bill will Jncrease the manu-
facturer's profits yn the individual ar-
ticles, but , will ieapen the .power of the
people to, buy or use his wares.
"It is the poverty of the buyer, not
the producer, that mu?t be relieved be-
fore things will thrive.
The manufacturer has every facil-
itytp produce, but no facility to sell.
"It is the consumption that must
first b-; stimulated, and that will stim-
ulate production.
. Tller® are but a few crumbs In the
Dill to aid the oppressed farmer of the
interior or the laborer, but thousands
things to further oppress him.
Higher sugar, hi«her salt, higher lum-
ber, higher clothing, higher manufac-
tured products and absolutely nothing
Ao raise the price of labor—« high
tariff on labor's products, limiting,tlie
emand for his> labor by narrowing
the market, but throwing the ports

other laborers from foreign ipountrias
