Democrats and Democratic newspapers
tell us in one breath that protection is rob
berry and in the next that they are not for
free trade. Now it is only fair to the public,
as well as due to themselves, for them to ex-
plain what they are for There are only two
tarln systems-one tariff for revenue only,
and the other a tariff for protection. They
say they are not for the former, and as they
pronounce the latter robbery of course their
tender consciences would not allow them to
De Tor that Now what are they for? Eight
years ago their position, or at least their po-
sltion as declared in the platform. was clear.
inasmuch as that document declared for a
tariff for revenue only" Four years later
they had weakened. THE necessary reduc-
tion in taxation" the platform of that year
affirmed, ''can and must be effected without
depriving American labor of the ability to
compete successfully with foreign labor, and
without imposing lower rates of duty than
will be ample to cover any increased cost of
production which may exist in consequence
OF the higher rates of wages prevailing in
this country" Here is practical admission
that the tariff does have an effect on the
wages Of labor, and that tariff is necessary
to foster our industries and prevent their
destruction. Here is plain admission of
the value of protection to the employer and
the employed, and declaration in favor of
sustaining that policy. In the light of the
definition the Democrats are now giving
to protection this resolution did nothing
more or less than commit the party to an en-
dorsement of robbery Now this year this
resolution was reaffirmed, with the proviso
that it was to be interpreted in the light of
Mr.. Cleveland's last message to Congress.
Will our Democratic friends enlighten us as
to the effect that this proviso has upon the
meaning of that resolution?

Mr.. Dingley's amendment to the tariff bin

Mr.. Dingley's amendment to the tariff bill
designed to assist shipbuilding by admitting
certain materials employed in that industry
free of duty, was promptly suppressed by
the Democrats. Mr. Mills saying that If the
Republicans were willing to admit foreign
built ships to American registry the Demo~
crafts would consent 10 fbe admission
materials as Mr.. Dingley enumerated free,
but on no other condition. The admission of
foreign built ships would inevitably destroy
all the ship building industry that is left,
spite of all concessions in the way of free
materials. The Democrats in this case sim
ply repeated their performance of 1872 when
Mr.. Lynch's bill was under discussion They
then interposed free ship bill. They did
the same thing Monday.

Soon after Gen. Harrison was nominated
the Democrats began the cry that he had
been Knownothing. That SANDER was
easily disposed of by showing that it was
untrue. Then they accused him of having
declared that dollar day was wages
enough for workingman. That was shown
to be lie. Now they are rolling as a sweet
morsel under their tongues the declaration
which they attribute to Gen. Harrison that
"a cheap coat means cheap man inside of
the coat" The Auburn and Lewiston

:, II 5ne Mills Dill Is step toward free trade as
the PRESS asserts, then any reduction of the
present onerous system Of taxation is a step
IN the same direction. Are we to understand
tnat the PRESS objects to making that step
OBJECTS to any reduction whatever of the duties
imports? -Argus,
The Argus has caught the Yankee trick of
answering questions by asking others. 1t is
very convenient trick too sometimes. We
shall be pleased to accommodate our contem-
porary to an answer to its question whenever
itlanswers ours Here it is: 1.-THE protective
system is robbery, as the Argus only few
days ago declared, and the Mills bill is not
intended as a step in the direction of free
trade but merely as modification in the
administration of the protective system how
can the Argus support it without endorsing
robbery?

a long editorial ON the subject based upon the
assumption that the sentence means that a
man is to be judged by the cost of the clothes
he wears 1t quotes Burns and Carlyle to
show that man may be considerable of a
man notwithstanding he wears cheap coat.
The Gazette's disease appears to be guileless
ness. Now it does not need an intellect of
remarkable acuteness to perceive that if
Gen. Harrison ever used that language and
the fact that it is attributed to him by Demo
cratic newspapers is no proof in that direc-
tion-he meant by it simply this, that the
tariff reform of the free traders while it
might cheaper the workingman's coat
would at the same time cheaper the work
ingman's labor, that it would reduce his
wages. A "cheap coat means cheap man
inside Of it," that is man who owing to the
policy that cheapened his coat must bestow
his labor at cheap price.

The passage of the Mills bill by the House
is assured by the passage of the free wool
clause, which was the feature of the measure
which was certain to rally all the strength of
the opposition. There is little left in the bill
to arouse prolonged discussion, and the
chances are that the end of the week will see
1t through the House and on its way to the
Senate. Almost all the ancient allies of Mr..
Randall deserted him ana voted for the free
wool clause-a recognition of the fact that
the Democratic party has become free
trade party and that they cannot stay in it
without supporting free trade ideas. The
passage Oh the free wool clause is to be
reckoned as fortunate. II goes a lono wav
to make the issue Of the Presidential contast
clear, and seriously interferes with the
policy of lodging which many of our 90
teemed Democratic contemporaries wero
