this tariff Is to secure to American producers
all the trade in iron and Steel and it would
appear as if in time this might happen" Ameri-
cans begin to understand that the Protection
lists are telling the truth, and that Free Trad
ers are not, about the possibility of developing
all branches OF this great industry here. The
peope begin to comprehend also, that an enOr-
nous increase in the American production will
mean bread and clothing and homes for great
army of workers who are now less proftably
employed or not employed at all. Without
this larger control Of the home market by bet
ter protection, the half million people who al
ready depend on this country would soon be
found in the grayest difficulties "The Lon
don Economist hits the nail squarely on the
head when it adds:
The which the Americans have taken Is largely
due to tho enormous expansion which has lately taken
place in the iron and steel trade OF the United States
and which left them with large surplus power Of pro-
duction which they desire to utilize The output of
iron in America will probably reach 100000 tons this
year. As against S,j00000 tons In the United Kingdom
This is the true motive-a most honorable,
patriotic and statesmanlike one which British
rivals are not unwilling to admire. But Amer-
can Free Traders arc not able 10 rise above the
shameless SANDER that the new duties are de-
signed for the greater enrichment of few

The supreme issue before the country was
declared by Democratic President to be the
reduction of the surplus revenues. 4 Repub-
lican Congress has taken up that question and
disposed of it, The surplus revenues have been
reduced not as President Cleveland and Mr.
Mills proposed at the expense of woollen and
other American manufactures, but without
prejudice TO the industries protected and de-
veloped during the last thirty years. Two
years ago the Democratic press was filled with
fantastic homilies on the evils of Treasury
boarding and the burdens of unmanagcable
surplus revenues Not a word is heard now
about the surplus A Republican Congress has
heavily reduced the National revenues. 1t has
accomplished the supreme object of President
Cleveland's policy without sacrificing the in
dustrial interests of the country.
This is one proof of the advantage of having
the practical issues before the American peo-
pie taken up and settled by Republican Con-
gress. Another proof is the conservative spirit
in which the silver question was wisely add
justed at the last session. The Democratic
party was ready to join hands with extremists
and to bring about unlimited free coinage.
The Republican legislators effected compro-
mise, by which the price Of silver was advanced
without opening the way for financial disorders
and disastrous consequences. A Republican
Congress proved itself equal to each emergency.

MP KLAJNES FIGHTING SPEECH.

Secretary Blaine's South Bend speech was
made on fighting ground where the issues OF
m,re than one National canvass have been
determined Indiana is State which ought
70 he strongly Republican this year, for it is
the home constituency OF high minded Pmsl-
dent whose Administration commands public
respect. The return OF the Republican dele
CATION to Congress with gain OF one or two
members will be vindication OF a patriotic
Administration as well as an Endorsement OF
the tariff policy of the majority party in the
present Congress Secretary Blaine has made
a direct and powerful appeal to Indiana Re-
publicans to strengthen the Administration by
rolling up one of the wartime majoritieS. So
good fighting speech ought to rally the party
and insure sweeping victory next week in
the Presidents State.
1t is one of Secretary Blaines habits as a
veteran campaigner to take up the strongest
arguments advanced by tho opposite side and
refute them. At Canton, for example. he con-
trived to upset the favorte assumption OF the
Democracy that the decade of prosperity fol-
lowing 1916 (but ending in the panic OF 1850
was due to the operation OF tree-Irade tarlff.
At South Bend he pricked another Democratic
bubble; the agitation over high prices. lie
told the Indiana farmers that during the low
tariff period before the War what they wore
on their backs and what they had on their
tablcs-both the Injuries and the neccssarles
of life-cost them more, article by article, than
they now cost under Protection. The third
decade of Protection has closed with an era OF
low prices The Democratic theory IS that
Protection increases the cost of living. That
is a theory which cannot be demonstrated by
American prices.
Secretary Blaine referred again to Reciproci-
ty as policy which had served to unite the
Republican party in this canvass and which
off cred to the country the promise OF sub
stantial increase in foreign trade. Reciproci-
ty. when carried out on equitable principles
and reinforced by the increase and develop
ment of the commercial marine, will inevitably
create larger foreign demand for American
-four. pork and manufactures. 1t will be ma
teriay helpful in selling the surplus produce
of the United States. 1t is policy that is
popular last and West. The tariff legislation
of the year and Republican prospects in the
pending election have been strengthened and
improved by the Reciprocity measure.

HANDS OFF!

The Democratic newspapers OF this town are
calling the special attention of their readers to
the fact that an INSCRIPTIONS Chemung County
politician, David b. Hill by name, is cleo
tioneerng for Tammany Hall. 1t is an amaz
ing blunder for Hill to meddle in the politics
Of this city, and if the organs of the Democracy
stopped to reflect upon what they were doing
they would take good care not to call attention
to the blunder. AS it is, they are Overreach-
ing themselves.
The people of this city are entirely capable
of managing their own affairs. and can be
counted upon indignantly to resent at the polls
this interference of an Elmira " statesman"
Nor will it do for his friends to claim by way
CT defence or apology that Hill is trying to
boss the politics of the metropolis, not as a
Chemung politician, but as the Governor Of
New orl. Our people are jealous of their
rights and know how 70 repel what they re-
gard as an infringement upon them. If r.ey
will not tolerate the attempt of Chemung or any
other county to run the politics of another, still
less will they tolerate the attempt of National
officials to run the politics of a State or the
attempt of State OfIicials-more especially such
an official as Whiskey's GovernOr-to run the
politics Of city. In 1888 "The NewYorl
SUM- suspected that President Cleveland was
taking a hand in the NewYork State Guber-
material canvass. The consequence was that
1.-The sun attacked Mr.. Cleveland with char
acteriStic vigor. It filed the protest of a fiery
little poem against the course he was pursuing
Cor the course il thought he was pcrsuingD
This was one of the verses of the poem:
The party owns q grand array
OF Democrats both good and true'
To lead its cohorts in the Fray
But Folger was good man too;
When parties choose their candidates
Outside dctation they disdain,
And they who seek to carry States
Should ponder this refrain,
Hands off Remember Folgerl
We commend this verse of its own to "The
SUM- and to the other metropolitan Democratic
journals who are trying to save Tammany from
defeat by pointing with much emphasis to
what this Chemung County politician advises.
"When parties choose their candidates outside
dictation they dsdain.'

TPTTV PROM FREE TRADER

The dishonesty of Free Trade appeals in this
country can best be appreciated by observing
how sincere and even deeply interested Free
Traders on the other side Of the ocean regard
the situation. For example, many Democratic
papers here are sneering at the idea that any
manufacture of tin plato can be established in
this country, asserting that all reports of such
preparations are mere campaign falschCOds, and
persulding people that higher duties on certain
manufactured products were designed only to
rob the people for the benefit Of a few favored
manufacturers. But 1.-THE London Economist, ;,
a most Jealous FreeTrade journal, has no
iially says, October IS:
As the increased duty on tin plates does not como
into operation until July J. 1901, the shipments during
the interval are likely to be large but after that date
there would be serious falling Of not ally on account
Of the large stocks laid In by the Americans but as1
in consequence Of the manufacture Of tin plates on the
other side Of the Atlantic. II has already been An
nounced that some OF tho largest manufacturers In
America increasing their capital very considerably
with view to the production of tin plates. The t0ta
exports Of tin plates and tin sheets In 1850 amounted
to 602 tons. This woud represent at least 500 900
tons Of pig iron.
Here is All admission that the manufacturers
in this country are not only able to produce a
large part of the tin plates required here. but
that they are already moving to do so. The
clear headed British makers look for a serious
loss OF their trade, in spite of the large reduc-
ton of prices which they frankly admit must
also result from the American tariff. Speak
ing more broadly of the new duties, "The
Economist" further says; "The intention of

The saloon interest is making desperate effort
to elect Mr.. Lawrence, the Tammany candidate

the Wine, Liquor and Beer Dealers Association
says: Mr.. Lawrence is our friend, and if elected
will help to prevent high license, prohibition
and numerous petty annoyanccS that now harass

Mr.. Lawrence is a good man for the reputable
voters of the district not to support. Mr.. lioag,

There is danger that the Republican and Anti
Tammany candidates for Congress and the Legis-
lature may fail TO receive the support intended
for them by reason of the fact that the Citizens
Municipal League ballot will have no nominations
on it for either Congressman Assembly or Alder
men. The citizen who votes for the Peoples
ticket will find a blank space for each of these
offices. These spaces he must fill out himself
in the election booths either with pen or pencil ;
that is, in case he has not been supplied with
pastors for the purpose beforehand. 1t is a very
slight work, and no intelligent voter ought to
have any difficulty about doing it. The warning
is simply sounded that every Republican, or
opponent Of the Wigwam, may understand this
fact clearly, namely: That the Peoples Municipal
League has Endorsed no nominations but those
for municipal Offices

Apparent decline by saying that the census OF
