(From Tariff League Bulletin,) Now that the platforms of both parties are before the country, we can compare them, and see exact- ly what each one means. The BuLLetin and its readers are, ot course, interested mainly in the tariff planks, and to thoge we shall confine ourselves. The plank of the Republican platform starts out with these words: “We are un- compromisingly in favor of the American system of Protection.” Surely these words need no ex. planation. Their meaning is ap parent to everyone. Not less clear are the following sentences : “We denounce the Mills bill as destructive to the general busi- ness, labor and farming interests of the country.” We condemn the proposition of the Democratic party to place wool on the free list, and we insist that the duties thereon shall be ad-~ justed and maintained, so as to furnish full and udequate protec- tion to that industry.”” The whole plank, together with the condemnation of the Internal Rev- enue taxes, is so outspoken and plain that it requires no key to unravel its meaning. It speakes for itself, and can easily be under- stood, It means protection and all that the word implics. On the other hand, what mean- ing are we to gather from the Democratic party? To be sure it would at first seem almost im- possible to arrive at any definite conclusion as to what it really does mean, especially when we find the Democratic press of the country giving it at least three distinct interpreta'ions. In short it is what is known as a straddle, and a stupendous one at that. And yet, on looking at it closely and carefully, it is not difficult to| understand its real meaning. In the first place the plutform endors- es the President’s message as the interpnitation of the platform ot 1884, and reaffirms that platiorm | The BULLETIN, in common with many other journals, has shown most conclusively that the Presi- dent’s message Was a strong plea for Free-Trade. Consequently the Democratic Platform when tariff plank that means Free-Trade. But the Coyvention which adopted this platform went farther, and attached an annex to its declara~ tion in the shape of a resolution indorsing the Mills bill. let us examine some of the featur- es of the Mills bill. : It places the products of Amer- ican industries which have been protected, in some cases for fifty or sixty years, upon the free list. Among the articles which this bill makes free are’ timber, hewn and sawed, squared or sided, un- manufactured wood, planks, hubs for wheels, staves of wood, pickets, palings, laths, shingles, clapboards, and a dozen other specified artic- les which are now dutiable. Does this not mean Free-Trade? The Mills bill proposes to put salt on the free list, flax, straw and fiax drrssed and not dressed on the free list, Also tow, hemp, manilla, and other substitutes for hemp, jute butts, juve gum, and other vegetable fibres. Also cer- tain manufactures of these sub~ stances, including machinery used in the manufacture of jute, If this isnot Free-Trade, what is it? The Mills bill proposes to crip- ple our sheet-iron business by putting on the free list (not re- duemg the duty) ‘iron or steel sheets,“ plates or taggers iron, coated <htin.” Also to oblige the Southern cotton planters, it proposes to put iron and steel cot- ton ties or hoops on the free list. What is this but Free-Trade? The Mills bill proposes to strike a deadly blow at our chemical in- dustry, employing 40,000 people, by putting on the free list gly~ cerine, indigo, iodine, alumnia, boracie acid, potash, chlorid of potash, nitrate of potash, sulphate of potash, soda, eral tar products of all kirds, essential ciis, and a great variety of other articles, all produced in this country, aud all of which we should manufacture at home. Can this be anything else but Free-Trade ? The Mills bill propyses to crip~ ple American mining by putting earth and clays, including china clay and rosoline ; also copp2r ore chromate of iron or chromic ore, bricks, and a variety of other articles produced in this country. If the bill paeses persons in these industries will have their wages reduced and many of them will be thrown out of work. Who will deny that this is Free~Trade ? The Mills bili then turns trom the busy industrial centres of ‘the East to the prosperous orchards and vinyards of Calitornia, and by its provisions proposes to blight and destroy the growing fruit interests of the Pavitic coast. ‘Absolute Free-Trade, says this vicious bill, for your dates, your plume, your prunes, your currants, your figs, and other products Under the tostering care of a Pro tective tariff the truit interests of Calafornia have grown and thrived and unless this Democratic meas- far distant when we shall have cheaper and better fruit of all kinds than ary country in the world. ‘These have all been put upon the free list. If this is not Free-Trade, what is Free-Trade? Nor is this all, There are a score or more other articles, to suy nothing of wool, of marble of all kinds, of wvod pulp and other products which thousands of American wage-earvers are et- gaged in producing. In short, the measure is a Free-Trade bill prepared by Free Traders, This bill is indorsed by the Convention which framed a tariff plank in- dorring the Prsident’s Free- irade message. There is no need of going farther. The Democrat- ic Platform, straddle though it is, really means Free-Trade, The } Republican platform says and | means Protection. The time is |near at hand when every voter |must support one or the other. There is no such thing as dodg- ing the issue. It is Free-Trade or Protection. : Now, ou the free l:st a great variety of ure becomes a law the time is not} AH, LIZZY! avalyzed is found to contain a - Ah, Lizzy!

Ah, Lizzy! though faithless still thou art forgiven, For what is love born in our in- fancy? It will fade ere lifes sun has reach- _ed to its zenith ; Aud such the affection once cher- ished by thee! And yet I shall deem dear the flower once blooming, Though now it has faded, and dropped from its stem : And as I took back on the scenes of my childhood, Of the sweetest moments maid thou wert my gem. RoBerT E. Forp. <-> —_____ THE GREAT ALLIAN. While the Revenue bill was un- der consideration in the House of Representatives last Tuesday, Mr. Dreyfus of Orleans moved that “the Treasurer of the City of New Orleans shall be ex-officio tax col- lector, and, for the purpose of this act-wial! be called the State tax collector for the parish ot Orleans.” interest of reform. Mr. Allen made aspeech that killed the amend- ment and rediculed the idea of such reform. He wound up his speech with a dialect poem, as fol- lows: You may notch it on the palins as a mighty resky plan, To make your judgement by the clo’es dat kiver up a man; For I hardly need to tell you how you often come across A fifty-dollar saddle on a twenty- dollar hoss. An wuking in the low groun’s you diskiver as you go : Dat de fines shuck may hide de meanes nubbin in a row.

An de tarkey~buzzard sails above de eagle in de sky ; Dey ketches little minuers in the middle of de see, de bigges kind o tree. This brought Mr. Dreyfous to his feet with a statement that his purpose was to wipe ou’ the re- maining evils of radical legislation; while he could not say that Mr. Allain had been connected with the legislatures in which they hud originated. ‘The episode ended ina laughter and cheers from the Heuse and a Shapearean quotation from Mr. Allain. ee NOTICE.
