Republican Duty.

Mr.. Mill's proposition that there
shall be a single test vote upon his
bill. is, we are glad to see, unlikely
to be adopted. Mr.. Mckinley and
Mr.. Reed. to whom the chairman of
the Ways and Means made his offer,
have net thought it of sufficient inn
portance to present to their Republic
can colleagues. Judge Kelley even
had not heard of the proposal until
he read of it in the newspapers, and
when he asked MIR. Mckinley about
the dispatch, he learned precisely
what we have stated, that Mr.. Mills's
suggestion was not seriously cOnsid-
cred. The Republicans in Congress
will do what they can to secure a re-
duction of the revenues and surplus.
To this end they will present
scheme of their own, which will sure
Iy decrease the income of the gov
eminent and will relieve the taxpay
ers of burden, but they will not rest
content with that. The Mills bill is
before the House for consideration
and action.
The general debate upon it has been
of great advantage and importance.
1t has been indeed, the most inter-
esting discussion of many years. Con-
gress has seldom heard such admir-
able speeches as those which Mr.. Nc
Kinley and Mr.. Reed made on Fri
day and Saturday. Mr.. McKinley's
speech absolutely demolished the
Mills bill in all its details, and an
swered conclusively the points made
by Mr.. Mills in his speech. The at
tack upon the existing tariff law was
met and repulsed, and the proposed
substitute was shown to be crude,
illogical and inadequate to accom-
plish the desired reform of the tax
laws, On Saturday Mr.. Reed dis
cussed the general principle underly-
ing the two systems which are OPP
posed to each other-Republican and
Democratic. protective and free trade.
incidentally he showed that the ac-
cusations made against the present
law are false, and especially the I'M
truth of the charge that the West
ern farmer has been ruined by it |;
but his principal contention was that
protection means prosperity and free
trade means ruin.
Now that the debate is finished the
work of attacking the bill by amend
ments will begin. Naturally the Re-
publicaus will endeavor to defeat it

The Tariff Debate Closed.

The great tariff debate on the Mills
bill closed on Saturday last. Mr..
Reed, of Maine, and Speaker Car
Isle, of Kentucky, closing the argu-
ment. The Democratic party comes
out of the struggle much the worse
for the wear, while the friends OF
protection find themselves in very
comfortable state of mind. In speak
ing of the condition of the Western
farmer, for whom 1t was claimed that
the Eastern vampire had mortgaged
his farm and injured" him in other
ways, Mr.. Reed said:
In the fullness OF time 1 travelled
West myself. You may we'll imag-
inc my establishment, who had never
seen ten acres together IN corn, to be-
hold fields of that great staple stretch.

The New Jersey Republicans adOp-
ted an admirable platform, which,
in brief, is as follows:
"We declare that at this stage of
its(the Republican party's) existence,
its purposes are:
"Protection to the industries of the
people by a tariff adjusted to that
special end.
"Protection to the civil rights of
the people by securing a free ballot
and an honest count to every lawful
voter.
"Protection to the basis of the
character of the people by general
education of children.
"Protection to the government of
the people by promoting the reform
of the civil service.
"And protection to the homes of
the people by the due restriction of
vice and intemperance and we con-
graulate the Legislature of this State
on their honest, earnest and courage
Gus efforts to restrain the evils of the
liquor traffic, and endorse their
action.
ITO these ends and for the main
tenance of truly American policy
at home and abroad, we pledge to
the nominees of the National con-
vention our united and earnest sup
port"

The Real Issue.

The real issue between the protec-
tionists and the free traders was pre-
sented yesterday by Mr.. Butter
worth. The manufacturers do not
now ask for protection against the
skill or the capital of Europe. We
have the skill, Our machinery is, as
a rule, better than that made abroad.
Our capital is sufficient for all our
industrial enterprises. The cost of
production, however, is greater in
this country than it is in other coun-
tries because wages are higher here.
The prOtectioniSts are now engaged
in an effort to uphold the tariff under
which the country has become pros
porous in order that wages may be
maintained at their existing high
rates. This is not entirely a work of
philanthrophv. 1t is sound economy
for the country to maintain high
wages. A well ordered, peaceable,
civilized community like that of the
city of Lawrence, in Massachusetts,
is of great advantage to the country.
The well-paid workingmen support
schools, churches, savings banks, lec-
ture platforms and all that go to
make up the civilization of which
the country is justly proud. The
prosperity of the wage earfHs
increases the average prosperity of
the country. 1t is better to have
Lawrence, Lowell, Pittsburg, Phia.
delphia and the hundreds of similar
cities which are the centres of our

Ireland. The protectionists are fight.

has been attained by means of tariff

sky land so rich that if we had an
acre of it in Maine we would have
sold it by the bushel, while on every
side were the great brick houses, such
one as only the Squire lives in in
our villages. After some days Of
this l became suky. l said Gen
tlemen, of course we have robbed
you. Your own congressman will
not lie about trifles like that. But
what disgusts me is that we do not
do it more thoroughly. The CLEAN

Then they confided to me that West
ern Congressman were great orators
and did this for practice. Since then
have not been so much moved
by it.
Here is another unsolicited gun
called "the markets of the world"
The markets of the world. How
broad and cool these words are. They
stretch from the frozen regions of the
Northern pole across the blazing trop-
les to the ice bound shores of the
Antarctic continent. All this we can
have if we but give the little hands
breadth called the United States of
America.
What are the markets of the world?
To hear these rhetoricians declaim,
you would imagine the markets of
the world vast vacuum. waiting till
now for American goods to break
through, rush in and fill the yearning
void. Will your goods 60 to Austria?
to Italy, Germany, Russia or France
Around all these benighted countries
are the Chinese walls of tariff taxes.
Britain herself is protected by vast
capital, accumulated through ages,
the spoils of her own and other
lands, by trade system as powerful
as it is relentless. All these nations
will contest with you the other coun-
tries which they already overflow.
Does your mouth water over the
prospect What market DO you
give up for all this ? Where is the
best market in the world? Where
the people have the most money to
SPEND. Right here IN the United
States of America, after twenty-se
en- years of protectionist rule. And
you are asked to give up such mar
ket for the markets of the world.
Why the history of such a transac-
ton was told 2,400 years ago. 1t is a
classic. You will find it in the works
of Nsop, the fabulist. Once there was
a dog. He was a nice little dog
nothing was the matter with him ex-
cept few foolish free trade ideas in
his head. He was trotting along,
happy as the day, for he had in his
mouth nice shoulder of succulent
mutton. By and by he came to a
stream bridged by plank. He trot-
ted along and, looking over the side
of the plank, he saw the markets of
the world and dived for them. A
minute after he was crawling up the
bank the wettest, the sickest, the
nastiest, the most muttonless dog

The Maryland Republican State Con
VeDttOn.


Yent1On.
Following was the platform adopt
ed by the Maryland Republican
State Convention Tuesday:
The Republicans of MARYLAND, in
convention assemb ed, reaffirm their
devotion to the principles of the Ma
tional Republican party, and de-
clare:
l. That in the free trade movement
inaugurated by the Democratic party
we recognize renewed effort to aid
foreign manufacturers to displace the
products of American workmen with
those of pauperized labor. We be-
lieve that the protective system,
which has made this nation great,
and its people prosperous, is the best
means for maintaining that great
ness and prosperity, and denounce
and oppose the unpatriotic assault
upon the independence and prosper
fty 6f the American workingmen.
2. That, recognizing the undesira-
bilitv of large surplus revenue. we
favor the abolition of the internal
taxes ON tobacco and alcohol used in
the arts and sciences, and the modifi-
cation of the duty on sugar, and we
declare that, in justice to the Ameri-
can interests involved, any necessary
readjustment of the tariff should be
made by its friends, and not by its
enemies.
8. That the open and fragrant vio-
lation of the true principles of civil
service reform by the present admin
istration merits the unsparing con-
domination of all patriotic citizens.
and stamps the Democratic party as
a self.confessed conspiracy for plum
der and spoils.
4. That we commend the course of
the Republican Senate in the matter
of pensioning the disabled veterans
of the Union armies and those DEEPEN
dent on them. We urge the repre-
sentatives of this State in the Nation
al Convention to favor greater liber.
atty in dealing with the just claims
of these defenders of the Union.
5. That the violation of the reform
pledges made by the Democratic par
ty in this State by the majority OF
the Legislature recently in session,
emphasizes the necessity for change
in the political administration of the
State.
6. That we approve the action of
the Hon. Louis E. McComas, the
representative of the Sixth Congress
sional District of Maryland. and the
other Republican members of Con-
gress in opposing the "Mills Tariff
BILL" so called. and we urge them to
persevere in defeating every device
intended to place upon the statute
book the free trade theories of Mr..
Cleveland's annual message.
7. That, without expressing any
preference among the eminent Re-
publicans mentioned for the Presi-
dency, we hereby pledge the hearty
support of the Republicans of Mary
land to the nominees of the next
National Republican Convention.
Resolved, By the Republicans of
Maryland, IN Convention assembled,
That we are in favor of an unqualified
franchise and equality of men before
the law.

then the question will be neither
the free traders will bow to te iney-

the impossibility of secung the
adoption of their econOmi heresy,
they will assent to the onlypractica-
BILE measure for the relief O the peo-
pie from the admitted hrdens Of
overtaxation. They will, of course,
do precisely what the Prsident di-
reefs, for if they adopt tb Republic
can scheme, on finding the only
remedy that can be apple to the lis
cal difficulties, he will srely inter-
pose his veto. But. whatever the
free traders may do, it is he duty OF
the Republicans to give item an OPP
portunity to make a law that will
really reduce taxes and tie revenue.
The nearer that the Hous is brought
to adopting such a measure as the
Senate will send back to i, the great
er the chance that the later will be
agreed to.
These views of the duty of the Re-
publicans seem so clear and unan'
swerable that we are mo- surprised
that the Mills proposition has moi
even been presented to their col
leagues by Mr.. Mckinley and Mr.
Reed. The Republicans are not en-
gagged in making an issue, but il
trying to relieve people of upjus
taxation. The Democrats have Ead
the issue. 1t is not the Mills 'S&
all, but free trade. and it was formu.
lated not only in the Presidents
message, but in the history of the
party before and since the war of the
