FREE TRADERS MTSREPREsEN-
TATIONS.

The assertion is constantly made that
the surplus locked up 10 the treasury
at Washington did harm to business,
and especially to ''poor men, who in
consequence thereof found it difficult
to get money assistance. OF course il
is a mere assertion made by the free
traders who are now making such a
desperate effort to break down the
American system of protection.
Who finds it difficult to obtain none.
tary assistance? When was money
ever cheaper than at present? Let us
look at The real facts and figures re-
garding this withdrawal Of the clrcu-
lating Medium, and see if the moaning
over money that is locked up in the
treasury is justihable. From the
officially compiled statement Of the
actual money circulation Of the United
States for the last year and half, we
find that on January / 1881, the
amount was ST. 3ls.434, ,0S0. Six months
later, or July /, 1887, it was Si,8l7,-
Ss6, ,O52 Six month later. or January
!, 1888, il was 1884 032 s33 and or
June 1, 1883, il was 1871 ,A4S 500 II
will be observed Tint from January 1,
1887, to June 1, 1885, the amount Of
money in circulation increased by
s58 0l4475. At times within this
period tho circulation Of the
country has been expended by
as much az Sii 600 600 ia O single
month. Does this look like the with
-drawal Of a large portion Of the cir
cuIatirg medium? We do not say the
surplus should not be reduced. On
the contrary, by tightening the tariff
lines and aboliahing the internal
revenue we would bring about the
very reduction sought. We claim,
moreover, that if any harm does come
to our people by locking up 80 much
money ia the treasury, it would only
be aggravated by the proposed free
trade legislation, and ia two ways.
First, By increasing imports, and
second, By increasing duties. Tha
former involves exports of gold. Sg
that whla locking up more money ii
the treasury we shall at the same time
be shipping large quantities out Of The
country. The treasury surplus il
accessible. It can be deposited in bank:
for the use Of borrowers. Under
iudicious legislation it can be used ia
many ways beneficial to the country
and its pfople, but the money that i
shipped out OF the country is per
manently lost till the tide Of trade cal
be turned back.
What is our real condition to-day
and what progress hsve we mad
since the adoption OF protective pol
icy in 1861? Our population has in
creased over 60 per cent; our capita
from $4,000 OOO, coo 10 $50. coo, 00O,o0C
our foreign commerce over $25 600,
600; while The balance Of trade j
our favor has been as high as $s6l 600
600 in a single year. Would it not ;

The Record OF the Democracy.
New York Sun.
For the sake of making the historical
record complete, we go back to the
Democratic platform OF 1856, the year
in which our delightful friend. thS
Hon. Henry Watterson, attained the
sweet age Of 16:
"The time has come for the people
Of the United States TO declare them.
selves in favor Of progressive free
trade throughout the world"
That was a mistake. The time had
not come. Four years later. when the
Hon. Henry Watterson still lacked SG5
days Of his majority. the Democratic
platform reafiirmed the tariff plank Of
1856:
"The time has come for the people
Of the United States to declare them
selves in favor OF progressive free trade
throughout the world"
what has been the progress since
then, SO far as the Democratic party is
concernedg
In 1894 nothing said.
Ia 1868:
"A tariff for revenue upon foreign
imports. and such equal taxation nm.
der the internal revenue laws as will
aff ord incidental protection to domestic
manufactures"
la 1872 the question OF protection
or free trade was referred by the CON
vention to the people in the congress
districts and to the congress ia Wash
iugton.
In 1876
1--WE demand that all Custom House
taxation shall be for revenue only"
In 1880, when the unconsidered
phrase wrecked the fortunes OF the
candidate:
"A tariff for revenue only"
In 1891;
"The Democratic party is pledged to
revise the tariff in a spirit of fairness
to all interests. But in making reduc.
on in taxes it is not proposed to injure
any domestic industries, but rather to
promote their healthy growth"
And finally in the present year Of
grace, 1888, the call for a tariff for
revenue only is dropped and ahan-
doned, while the principle of protec-
ton appears clearly in this passage.
"Our established domestic industries
and enterprises should not and need
not be endangered by a reduction and
correction cf tho urdens Of taxation.
On the contrary, fair and careful re-
vision Of our tex laws, with due
allowance for the difference between
the wages Of the American and foreign
labor, must permit and encourage
every branch Of such industry and
enterprise by giving them assurance
Of an extended market and steady and
continuous operation in the interest Of
American labor, which should in nc
event be neglected"
Perhaps this is free trade, as some Of
our tariff hating friends are glad tC
believe. II docs not look to us lik,
progressive free trade. Measured by
the outspoken declarations of 1856, 0.
1876, and Of 1880 it rather looks likl
progressive protection.
