a LAW nE TRADE.

While Chairman Mckinley is an ardent
advocate Of the fallaeious theory of pro-
tectionism, he is like Senator Carlisle &C
customed to making fair statements Of
his position. He has the reputation OF
indulging in very little Of the discredit-
able demagogy which composes the chief
part Of the stock in trade advocacy Of
the shallow protectionist speakers. In
consequence of this honorable reputation
it is with regret that we note Mr.. Nc
Kinley's nsrrow-minde6 declaration that
because the tariff bill did not please
Englishmen it ought to please Ameri-
cans"
That sentiment is unworthy II Mr..
Mckinley. The tariff question should be
discussed on its intrinsic merits. It
should not matter what foreigners think,
or how their interests sway them, for or
against measures intended for the benefit
Of this people. Mr. McKinley's speech
would indicate that he is ignorant Of the
basic law Of barter; namely; that it is
friendly and for the mutual advantage of
the traders.
The declaration is just such one as
might have emanRted from a Chinese
statesman respecting contraband opium
excluded from exchange trade in China
because it is injurious to Chinese health
and morals, Even the Chinese do not
prohibit commerce on the unphilosoph-
ical and .unenlightened plea Of building
up their infant industries" China en-
joys equal advantages from the exchange
Of her tea, silk, rice and laundrymen
which England enjoys in finding a
friendly market for cotton. cutlery and
cloth.
England does not food China with
cheap goods and China does not impov-
erish the Englishmen with low-priced
teas. Mr.. Mckinley knows that the
United States need not have any fear Of
the inferior population. skin, ingenuity,
facilities, climate, country, industry,
energy and materials OF any other nation
on the globe. This country i.
superior to England in almost every re
speet, and there is no more necessity foI
laying an embargo on English good,
than there is for laying an embargo OF
Chinese FIRE crackers.
The policy is unwise. hurt
ful and unnecessary. It Il
dictated solely by those who are III,
bsnefciaries Of the tariff Just as th,
famous robber LATTE grew wealthy b,
plundering the vessels which trade,
along the Louisiana coast.
The tariff robbery is only a moderl
legalized form Of the same piracy whiel
LATTE prscticed. De had no more con
ception OF friendly barter for mutual al
vantage than the protectionist has.

FORTY-THREE states. over 900 cities,
10 900, 600 voters and 65, 100000 people
cannot derive any benefit from an in
creased tax on tin-they will surely have
to pay more for tin. Why then are the
papers, whose editors hold some Office, or
are expecting something, SO clamorous
for an additional duty on tin? II is
inexplicable on any hypothesis, creditable
or honorable. The Government does not
need the tax, aud it is not patriotic, pru-
dent or wise to increase burden, already
81. 500. 600 annually for no other reason
than to satisfy the demands of rich
syndicate with ell Of these states,
cities, voters and people interested in
buying tin as chesply as possible, why
do those papers which are VIGOROUSLY
ignorant Of such industrial subjects as
the manufacture Of tin plate clamor that
higher duty should be imposed on tinY
The only answer the protectionists make
TO this question Is: 1--WE wish to build
up the tin plate industry" They do not
know whether it needs building up, how
much it would require or how long the
people would be compelled to
pay the additional tax. Still they
clamor for the tax Surely
there is some dishonest reason for the
insane and otherwise unaceountsble
clamor for tax on tin plate. 1t bears
the evidence of fraud on its face, for in
the same breath with which they de-
mand an additional duty, they declare
that the additional dutywould not increase
the price Of tin. When asked why they
wish the duty they declare'to pay higher
wages" Last year we paid a duty of
81, 500, 000 Now, il the object
is as these advocates state
to build up the tin in
dustry, why not give the tin plate
patriots $7,50OO 600 and stop there
and then. The members Of the ring can
be easily found-they are confined to one
state, one small city. If the object is
not to create perpetual sinking fund 20
be drawn on for campaign purposes what
in the name of all that is pure, good
and just is the reason that the demands
of this tin plate syndicate of Pittsburg
should be generally advocated by the
Republican papers2
