THE FREE.rRApE BILL.
Ehe Entering Wedge Driven In at tho
Foot of the Grand Protection Oak.

Ehe Entering Wedge Driven In at tho
Foot of the Grand Protection Oak.
The Democratic party has officially
registered its adoption of the Presi-
dents free-trade policy. The Mills bill
has passed the House with a margin of
thirteen votes. The character of this
measure is determined by its essential
feature the free wool clause. By that
sign it is known of all men as free
trade measure. Even if this charac-
teristic feature were lacking, the files
Of the Congressional Record bear wit
ness on every Democratic page to the
purposes of the party leaders who have
forced this measure through the House.
Every Southern member of the major
ity party in the House who has spoken
in the tariff debates has declared his
hostility to protection and his SYM
pathy with free trade. The Northern
Democrats have followed the Southern
leaders with servility, the majority of
them being as extreme in their TRADES
against protection as the brigadiers
who made free-trade constitution for
the Southern Confederacy. Only four
voices on that side have been raised
against the bill during the prolonged
debate. A measure advocated as this
has been can not mean any thing but
free trade. It is the entering wedge
driven in by the Presidents command
at the foot of the noble protection oak
whose branches overspread the land.
Let the President and his party tri-
umph in November and the tree will
be felled and the ground cleared for
free trade.
Mr.. Mills, in closing the debate, an
grily disclaimed the essential character
! of his work. eff that is free trade,
will some one tell me what is protec-
tion?'' was the formula which he used
in his review of the bill, schedule by
schedule. He even sought by clumsy
evasions and palpable misrepresenta-
tions to convey the impression to the
country that his handiwork was a gen
uine protection measure, inspired by
honest regard for the Industrial sys-
TEN of the country. So it came to
pass that the party which has declared
open warfare upon protection in a
most aggressive campaign against the
tariff found itself on the last day OF
the debate compelled to act upon the
defensive and to beat the air and falsi-
fly the issue. The country should not
be- deceived by these dishonest tactics.
If the Republican party do their work
thoroughly in educating voters during
the next three months the issues in.
volved in Democratic tariff legislation
will be understood far and wide and
acted upon by an undivided North,
united once more in order to save Amer.

KILLING AN INDUSTRY.
The Effect of the Mills Bill on the Wot
Interests of the Country.

Tho Effect of the Mills Bill the Wool
Interests of the Country.
The effect of the passage Of the Mills
bill even through one House of Con-
gress is felt at once. Its blasting in
huence upon one branch of business is
shown suddenly and disastrously. The
big wool house of Hall Brothers in this
city failed a few days ago. 1t was not
in good condition and the outlook was
not such as to justify further effort.
An assignment was made.
In a court of justice, the force of the
blow at an American industry was
made apparent. Part of the wool of
Hall Brothers is stored, and rival
creditors present claims. There is in
a warehouse stock of this wool val.
ued at $13O,OOO. The various claim
ants desire to inspect this stock, but it
is not wise to allow them time. Why?
Simply because, as the Representative i've
of the assignee stated as a matter OF
business to the court, the Mills bill
having passed the House wool is de-
clining in value, and the commodity
should be sold Immediately if creditors
are to get what is due them.
Here was no political buncomb e
Here was a business fact given from a
business necessity. Already the Mills
bill has crippled the wool industry of
the United States. There is not a
dealer with wool in his possession,
there is not a farmer from the At
lantic to the Pacific who owns q single
sheep, who is not q poorer man than
he was before the bill reached it's pres
ent stage. We're it a certainty that
the measure would pass the Senate he
would be poorer still.
The farmers of the country are sacri-
feed by the Democratic party for the
benefit of the wool-growers of England
and Australia. That is the situation
in a sentence There is no chance for
bubble Or evasion in the matter. The
cheaply-grown wool of other countries
is allowed to come in and ruin the
market for wool of home production
It is something a school-boy may com
prehend.
The destruction of the wool industry
is but one incident in the destruction
of industries which would follow the
adoption of the Democratic pro-
gramme. It is but an illustration
made particularly forcible by the fact
that we have already before our eyes
striking proof of the evil that may be
wrought by the free-trade scheme

DEMOCRATS AND THE TARIFF.
From the MY. Graphic I

The democratic party has been killed
several times, but somehow or other it
makes wonderful resurrections. When
it was beaten by William Henry Har-
rison, in 1910, the cry was that the
tariff question had destroyed it. Four
years afterward it stood up and elected
Polk on the Texas and tariff issues. In
lS4S the party was once more declared
surely dead. The tariff had done it
again and Zachary Taylor was chosen
president, yet in 1852 the democracy
put Franklin Pierce in the white house
and followed up its success by electing
James Buchanan. It lost the country
on the sectional issues of 1860 1t won
in 1884 and now we are again assured
Il at the tariff discussion has buried 1t
forever. But the democracy is a long
lived party, and in 1892 history may
repeat itself and the control of the
government pass once more into its
hands.
