Joseph Nimmo Jr., the reliable and
able statistician has valuable letter in
the New York Tribune, of which the fol-
lowing is the closing portion:
The Republican party of this country,
during the twenty four years from 1861 to
1884, commended, as it were, with horses"
and carried this Nation safely through the
Swelling of Jordan" This terrible surplus
which SO disturbs Democratic statesmen is
merely one of those perturbations which
ever and anon will occur sin the land of
peace wherein we trust" and, God grant, in
which generations to come may securely
dwell. There was time when this Nation
was contracting was debt of three million
dollars a day. That was "the swelling of
Jordan But the Republican party reduced
the National debt from 81 1856 900, 900 in
1866 TO 81 ,375 zoo, 900 in 1885, and they
reduced the interest on the public debt from
1929 per capita in 1866 to Sc cents per
capita in 1885 and they did it, too, without
the loss of cent in the Treasury. The
Republican party also reduced the internal
revenue from 5000 900 900 in 1866 to SIP
000, 200 in 1885, and also reduced the customs
revenues largely by placing tea and coffee
upon the free list and by many other reduc-
tons in the tariff, until we are about down
to and, | think, little below the basis
properly protective of American industries.
After the 4th of next March the Republican
party, which disposed of nearly 81, 400, 900
of National debt without any great strain
upon its faculties, will as quietly, and as
beneticially to the Nation, dispose of this
little mountain of 1929 100000 surplus.
If you will pardon the undue length of
| 81, Ill.
which this can be done, at least in
sufficient degree for all immediate needs of
our National finance. First let Congress
make liberal appropriation for sea coast
defences, the total cost of which. according
to our military authorities will be fully
$3.50, 1000, 900. 1t will cost $50 900, 900 to
defend New York City, including the cost of
the necessary works at the east end of Long
Island Sound. There is a pressing necessity
for defences at the entrance to Puget Sound,
where the Canadian and British Governments
have erected the strongest military post on
the American continent.
Then again it will be good craftsmanship
to appropriate money to build post offices in
cities, where the saving of rental will be
good interest on the amount appropriated.
Moderate appropriations for these objects in
connection with the abolition of tobacco tax
and tax on whiskey used in the arts, also the
placing of certain non-compettive articles
on the free list, would reduce the surplus
sufficiently for present purposes Let no
Republican be beguled by this talk about the
surplus. Above all things let us not evade
the National debate on the tariff question by
any expedient tending to compromise the
grand cause of protection to the National in
dustries,

A New Voter Hits the Nail on the
Head.

To the Editor of the Kennebec Journal:
DEAR SIR-As l shall cast this fall
my first vote for President
| have been eagerly watching for
few weeks past the discussion of
the tariff question, in both Democratic and
Republican papers. From the outset have
been puzzled by question which seems to
be fair one, and one which embraces fact
in its statement. 1t is this "Why, under the
protective tariff system, has wool been stead
lily going down, until farmers claim there is
no profit in it?" In my efforts to find an
explanation, satisfactory to myself, at least
| have come face to face with the following
facts Under the protective tariff of 1928
wool production flourshed until tariff tin
kering" commenced in 1882 We find from
that time on, prices fuctuated, the increase
in production was slight, and in 1860 it had
reached only about 60, 600 900 pounds.
From 1867 to 1888 there was 'shigh
tariff on wool and the result was an increase
from 100, 900 900 pounds in 1870 to 30s.-
100000 pounds IN 1884. Again the tariff on
wool was lowered, and the result was an i'm
mediate decline in the wool product. The
first year 1SS5) there was a falling off of
5000, 900 pounds, the second year (l8S6)
5000 900 pounds, the third year (lSSD
&c, 900. With the decline in the wool
product what followed? Increased impor-
tations, from g. 900 900 in 1882 to ia 00,-
600 pounds in 1857. Then followed, of
course, reduction in price, necessarily. and
herein we have the answer to the question
why has the price of wool declined?"
Because of reduction in tariff duties on it.
This is the only answer l can find. Is it not
potent one? And if not the correct one,
will you please enlighten me and oblige,
Very sincerely,
You've VOTER.

WHY DO ENGLIsHMEN COME
The Question of Protection Versus Free
Trade in a Nutshell.


From the Parls An erlcan Register.
An American serio-comic newspaper rep
resents an American workingman saying TO
John Bull: Pray, Mr.. Bull, if Free Trade
be such blessing, why are your agricultural
interests in such wretched condition, why
are your manufacturers calling out for Fair
Trade and why do skilled English workmen
emigrate to America, instead of American
workingmen to England"
1t would be impossible to place the issue
of Protection versus Free Trade in clearer
terms than in the above few lines. 1t is an
appeal from the doctrines of political eeono-
mists TO hard facts. 1t is fact that the
English agricultural classes are in deep dis
England has grown less and less every year
since the adoption of Free Trade. 1t is a
fact that the agitation in favor of Fair Trade
which is Protection in disguise, is daily in
creasing in strength, and commands the SYM
pathies OF strong body of British manufac-
turers. Above all there is no denying the
fact that the American scale of wages, the
result of the Protective system, is attractive
to skilled English workmen, and encourages
among them emigration to the United States
If the Protective system is to be destroyed
it must be done by hosting false colors, and
it is these false colors that the Democrats dc
not hesitate to hoist. Hence the attempt tt
show that the Mills Tariff bill is not leveled
at Protection, but at the surplus revenue ,and
that the working classes will be benefited by
reduced taxation. Whether they will be Sc
or not remains to be proved; but it is eviden
that nothing can compensate the workingmar
for the regime of low wages, or no wages
which must be the inevitable result of any
attempt to introduce into America the highl,
dangerous system of British Free Trade.

The Democrats Are Trying to Play
Double Game, They Are Hedging
and Trying to Talk Free Trade and
Protection at the Same Time

and Trying to Talk Free Trade and
Protection at the Same Time
Mr., Carlisle very adroitly says if the
Mills bill should become law the aver
age rate upon the articles the bill propo-
SEES to reduce would still be over As per
cent, while the average rate on all duti-
able importations would be 40 per cent.
Well, suppose this statement were true
what does it signify? Per cent, is not a
basis from which to draw conclusions.
Mr.. Carlsle's statement does not deny the
Free Trade tendencies of the bill. What
is Free Trade? 1t is Free Trade when
duties are so far lowered as to permit
free entry of foreign goods.
If at 10 per cent duty they come in
cheaper than we can make them-that is
Free Trade, for that percentage is no OBJ
struction.
If Is per cent prevents the goods COM
ing in, and permits us to make them-that
is Protection.
If 40 per cent is insufficient protection
and imports are not obstructed-then our
own industries are ruined, and the con-
sumers are taxed the whole amount of the
duty for the benefit of foreigners.
If - per cent prevents imports and pro-
tects home industry-then the tax is for
the benefit of our own workingmen. and
by increasing home productions cheapens
them for the consumer.
When Democrats say they are not Free
Traders because they propose to leave the
average duty at 40 per cent, and the Re-
publican tariff averages only AZ, they
coun, on the people not understanding
that 40 per cent means free unobstructed
imports or Free Trade, while a. per cent
means Protection.
But the Democrats are hedging. They
are anxious to defend themselves against
the charge that they have assaulted Ameri-
can industries. They want now to make
the people think they are Protectionists,
and to do this they rely on cunning words
and false statements. Everybody knows
that the American employer is not making
great profits. and in most industries is
working on narrow margin-for less
than per cent. Reduce the tariff per
cent. and he must stop or reduce wages.
He will and must stop, till workingmen's
wages are lower, and till the 40 per cent
becomes protective duty instead of tax.
The Golden Club understand the Demo-
Gratis. 1t does not blindly give its support
to Cleveland. The British press compre-
bend the effect of the Cleveland policy
and the Mills bill, and therefore warmly
endorse them. American voters are not to
be easily cheated in November.
