We are having an object lesson in pro- tection just now that ought to open the yes of the farmers at least. On account of an extra-protective provision In the Wilson bill, imposing a special duty on wd (tmetuding postage): sugar et ted Fs pg Ger- Hy TR. many, Belgium, Austria and other coun ic bag by xe Post tries have adopted retaliatory measures, the effect of which {# to close all Euro- pean markets to American beef. The object of the extra duty was to bar out German refined sugar from the American market for the purpose nom- infllly of affording “protection,” so called, to an American Industry by enabling the manufacturers to charge the American consumer a higher price for the product. the theory being that out of this higher price the manufacturers would pay higher wages. The fact Is that the man- ufacturers in this case being a Trust, the high prices came all right, but the higher wages seem to have been lost in the shuffle—but that s another story. ‘The evident fact of the situation ix that the alleged protection for a few thousand sugar workers, whose total wages might amount to four or five million dollars per year, has cut off the foreign cattle trade, amounting to from $75,000,000 to $10,000,000 per ye and constantly increasing, the profits of which were shared by farmers and transportation companies all over the country. ‘The effect 1s inevitable; the cattle market will be overstocked, farmers will have to sell for less than {t costa to raise, the cattle-raising industry witl be ruined, and all in the blessed name of “protection.” There might be some mitigation if the people got the beneftt of the cheaper beef, but the good, kind Beef Trust, another product of protec- tion laws, will look after that. The consumer wil pay the same oid price for his meat. What has thus clearly been done with the cattle business, has been done by our excessive “protection” duties with market, just as they have now been put up on cattle, and wheat to-day {s rained at a loss, while Argentine, Roumantan and India wheat flood the European markets. ‘ The same curse of excessive “protec- tion” blights all manufacturing indus- tries, cutting off the foreign market, where the surplus production would naturallly go, and leaving American tmanufacturers, with mills enough to supply twice the home demand, to fight for the home market, with consequent depression of business, reduction of wages and closing down of mills, The beet embargo will probably be raised before long by the repeal of the differential sugar duty, and it will be @ happy day for American workingmen and business men when the lesson goes deeper, and the wheat embargo, the Woollen goods embargo, the cotton em- bargo, the iron embargo and all the other bars erected between American industry and the markets of the world are also wiped out. THE INCOME TAX. It ina hard task to make men give up what they have got, The tax-dodgers who have heretofore escaped the pay- ment of thetr fair share of taxation are not going to be brought into assessment without @ desperate ‘‘kick." ‘The attempt to obstruct the collection of the income tax continues, and the most determined effort will be made to get rid of.the law altogether. It Is most emphatically and unmistakably @ law tn favor of the poor. Justly, not unjustly; equally, not unequally, it makes the wealthy tax-dodger bear his fair, share of the public burdens, and by that means relleves the poor who, without the in- come tax, bear, more than their share. A BUBTLE REVENGE. A story Is told from Rosebud, 8. Dak. Which strikingly {Mustrates the undying Vengeance with which an Indian pur- sues a foe. Rel Horse, an old Sioux chief, wa: munlered about a week ago on the reservation by two Indians, Fast Thun- der and Plenty Bird, who were arrested and held to ball. Susie Red Horse, the squaw of the murdered chief, hearing the assassins of her husband were free, cut off all her hair, which {s a declaration of war to the death, armed herself to the teeth, gave away all her property and started in pursuit of the men, Susle’ fighting qualities are so well known that a man would sooner be attacked is on the warpath, Just as she got on the trail of the murderers she was arrested and dl armed by the Indian police, Susie then 4 not nge, but to make It more complete.

How nice that would be, wouldn't It? ‘The two children who were suffocated in a tenement-house fire in East Seven- ty-aixth street yesterday could have been easily saved had any one known they were there.
