ten inches through. Pile these one on top

WHY FOREIGNERS OBJECT TO
TARIFFS,

The actions and utterances of those ora
tors and editors who draw their inspiration
from the Golden Club warrant the inference
that, in their opinion. it becomes the first
duty Of Congress to legislate for the conven.
fence Of foreigners rather than Of our own
people. Every proposition to discriminate
in favor Of the farmers, the manufacturers
and workingmen of the United States by
placing Tariff on such foreign products as
are sent here for sale in competition with do
,mestic products, is insured in advance the
opposition Of every attorney for Tariff reform.
The proposal to make importers and their
European principals contribute literally to-
ward defraying government expenses incident
to the mail service, pension list, public debt,
and other equally worthy and imperative OBJ
legations, at once brings from both sides Of
the ocean an avalanche Of protests suggest
lively similar in form and spirit. No matter
how unreasonable the foreigners demand. 1t
is sure of ready echo in his advocate here,
whatever the treatment accorded by voters
later on.
Threats that the foreign manufacturer will
increase the price Of his wares by the amount
of whatever Tariff is imposed, have long
served as the bugle for soaring voters into
support. of schemes for Tariff reduction; and
the persistence with which this has been
made to do duty attests the vigor Of Free
Trade advocacy. But it is precisely because
this cannot be done that every importer and
foreign manufact urer is found arrayed in op-
position to whatever Tariff they are CON-
PEELED to pay. And it is only the American
contingent of the Free Trade propaganda
that denies this fact. English promoters Of
the Golden policy are more .candid-as wit
ness the recently expressed regret Of the Biz
.mingham Post that. under the terms Of the
Mckinley bill, "the relief to English steel
rail producers will not much exceed 81 per
ton" and that the position Of foreign manu-
,facturers in other lines sis likely to be worse
under the new bill than under the old one.
It, certainly would be interestingly might
prove prodtable-if some promoter Of the
Golden Club doctrine in this country would
cease repeating Free-Trade platitudes long
enough to explain to inquiring voters how
reduction in our Tariff can y<liev< British
manufacturers if they have no part of it to
pay. We pause for reply.-Ameiean
Economist.

THE House refused to concur with the
Senate amendments to the free coinage bill
by vote of ISL to 1856. Had the Demo
Gratis voted solidly in favor Of free coinage,
as they did the week before, the amendment
would have been accepted; but, in addition
to number who absented themselves when
the vote was taken, there was respectable
number that voted against the amendments,
more than enough to Offset the Republicans
who voted for them. If this does not show
that the Democrats are using the silver issue
for party purposes it shows that the members
who changed front on the question were
bought off,

If reports are correct regarding Senator
Stewards remarks it looks pretty blue in
Washington for the silver question. When
Stewart expresses himself as discouraged it
may well be understood that the battle fot
silver is going against US. As we predicted
when Reed was elected Speaker of the House
me has done everything in his power to de-
feat any silver measure that would in the
least benefit the people. His last act Of
appointing members on the conference CON-
mittee whom he knew were radical single
gold standard men is enough to damn him
forever in the eyes of silver men. The
President of the Senate has also grossly in
suited not only Senator Jones but the entire
party Of silver men by appointing John
Sherman, the worst enemy silver ever had,
as chairman of the Senate conferees. Jones
was the man who was handling the bill and
he was the one who should have been chair
man. II not him, Stewart or Teller. The
gold men are not at all backward about the
fight, they hit heavy blow whenever they
get chance, and SO long as the silver men
refuse to strike back in the same manner the
gold men will rule the roost, and the poor
people will continue to grow poorer by the
sweat Of their brow while the usurers, thives
and gamblers of Walls treet continue to &C.
.cumplate wealth by the sweat Of the same

Mr.. BLAINR's idea Of an amendment to

and it will have an excellent chance of pass
