THE LEAGUE NoN.PARTIZAN
Address by Warner Miller and f.
Hartshorn on the Tariff

Address by Warner Miller and Il. A.
HartshOrn on the Tariff.
The American Paper Makers Associa.
ton held its eleventh annual session at
the Grand Union Hotel, Saratoga, re-
Gently. The Hon. Byron Weston pre-
sided.
The Hon. Warner Miller made an ad
dress. lie said 1.-The result of keeping
the tariff on paper has been that home
competition in less than ten years has
reduced news print from 0 cents per
pound to AZ and cents for the better
articles" He said in 1888 he consented
to reduction of the duty on wood pulp
and thought it had bad effect, On the
labor question he said paper makers
never had the troubles with their EN-.
ployes that other manufacturers had.
Paper makers encouraged skilled en-
ployes to get homes for themselves and
take an interest in schools and other
matters to benefit the country. There is
no feeling of antagOnsm between paper
makers and their employees.
Mr.. +. A, Hartshorn. of Troy, was the
next speaker. Mr.. HaItshorn said that
the paper manufacturers and dealers of
the country were well represented upon
the roll Of one thousand defenders.
Since having the honor of presenting
the organization objects and methods OF
the American Protective Tariff League
before the ASSOCIATION a year ago, the
the line Of national defenders had been
steadily tightening and the nine hund.
red ntches were now nearly filled. A
true and good defender must be pro-
tectiOnist first, last and all the time.
There were Republ cans, Democrats and
Prohibtionists upon the roll, but no
body had been urged to sign. The diff.
| ference observed in the countenances OF
Democrats and republicans as they have
written their names upon. the roll was
this Some Democrats were so glad OF
the opportunity of signing that they
generally stopped once or twice during
the operation and uttered uncomplimen-

ProhIbItionlst Experiment.

There are doubtless many men who
have had an experience like that OF
Mr. William p. Crooks, of Jersey City.
He has always been Republican, but
he was also strong temperance man
and in 1884 he voted the Prohibition
ticket and worked hard for its success,
He was one of the nominees for Presi-
dental electOr ON that ticket and welded
large influence in that party.
After an experience OF several years
with the Prohibtionists. Mr. Crooks has
decided that it is his duty to rejOin the
Republican party. lie found that the
leading Prohibitionists did not, avrc;,.
liz, ii not their only one, was to beat
the Republican party, and that the prac-
teal effect Of supporting the Prohibition
ticket was to help the rum-ruled democ-
racy to power.
The Republican party, Mr.. Crooks
finds, is the only one that has done any
thing practical for temperance. Last
year, in the State of New Jersey it
placed upon the statute books, against
the Democratic and Prohibitionist pro-
tests, the most effective law in the in
terests of temperance that the State has
ever had. Mr.. Crooks therefore be-
lieves that the Republican party, on the
temperance issue alone, is the one for
| him to support.
But there are other issues involved in
this campaign. The PrUhibitionist plat
form demands suffrage for women, and
no man can honestly vote the PrOhi-
bitiOn ticket without endorsing woman
suffrage. The tariff is an issue, too,
which the Prohibition platform was
obliged to recognize, and the tariff
plank in that platform is endorsed by
every man who votes the Prohibition
ticket. 1t has often been said, by sim
cere Prohitionists, that the only mission
of their party was to scourge the Repub-
lican party into repentance and good
works on the temperance question.
Well, the Republican party has brought
forth good works in the temperance
cause, whether because of the 'scOurg-
ing or some other reason. Is there any
longer an excuse for the existence of the
Prohibition party?
The many Republicand in New Jer-
sey and New York who, like Mr..
Crooks, voted the Prohibition ticket in
1884, will do well to consider seriously
whether it is not now their duty to fol-
low his example. Such men are too in
telligent to be deceived by the free
whiskey" cry that hasIbeenlraised by the
Democrats; the Prohibition party itself
demands the repeal of the internel reye
nue. on liquors. Unless they believe
that woman suffrage is the leading is
sue of the campaign, what reason is
there for their voting the Prohibition
ticket Mail and Express.
