Washington Letter.


WASHINGTON. ID. c.. Nov. IA. 1890.
Senator Sherman, who is always cool
headed expressed his opinion of the re-
cent overturned as follows: The
most serious result of the recent elect
ions is the hardening of the times,
caused by the distrust of the financial
policy of the incoming House Of Repre-
sentatiyes. All sorts of financial
schemes of the widest char acter will be
proposed, and whatever may be the out
come they will make capital timid and
arrest many enterprises that were on the
point of being executed. The first eff
feet OF this may be seen in the present
panicky condition of the New York
money market. The tariff act would
have set on loot many new industries
which will be prevented or delayed by
the doubt created as to the industrial
policy of the future. The exhuberant
Joy in foreign markets oyer our elections
is the best evidence of the danger we
have to meet. Foreigners do not under
stand the conservative nature of our in
situations, which require more than one
election to change our policy. but timid
men among US will be affected by the
hope and expectations of foreign manu-
facturers and will not engage in com
petition until satisfied of the stability of
our protection policy.
"And tl.en who can tell what will be
our standard of value? The immediate
fall of silver upon the happening of an
election is an indication of distrust and
alarm. The policy of tieing together
gold and silver. with an increase of cur
rency, gave hopeful outlook for the
future, but renewal of the contest for
the free coinage of silver will cause an
expectation or boarding of gold and a
relative fall of silver. Our only course
as republicans is to maintain and
strengthen our industrial policy on the
lines we hay pursued in the hope that
by the next election the people will be
convinced by the test of time that the
tariff act will not advance prices, but
will advance home industries.
The President is credited with having
coined new name for those republicans
who voted against their party at the
late election. He calls them "brevet
democrats"
Senator Spooner has arrived here.
He does not appear at all cast down by

WIN. B. MINER, PROPRIETOR.
The Percentage Deception

Every partisan journal in the con-
spiracy to reverse the policy OF pro-
lection to American labor and indus
tries is just now vigorously Haunting
the adValorem percentages of the tariff
on foreign products and assuring voters
that by this much is the cost Of all
similar products increased over what
would obtain under free trade. The
value of such figures in promoting the
object of the Golden Club is proper
toned to the ignorance of readers, for
no man possessed OF energy to read
market reports and sense to compre-
bend them can be made to believe that
any single item of the list enumerated
would become permanently cheaper in
absence Of that dome competition
made possible by protective tariff.
Singing out the highest advalorem
equivalents to be found in custom house
reports, and making no account of
undervaluations so notorious as to
compel remonstrance from free trade
Secretary of the Treasury under the
Cleveland administration, a table of
figures is prepared and given conspicu-
Gus place in the free trade syndicate
papers nder heading of taxes the
farmers pay" This of course assumes
that prices in this country are enhanced
above British prices for similar pro-
ducts "by precisely the sum paid for
duties'-a theory which, together with
its once prominent champion, has seen
its days in American politics.
Bnt the voter who may be disposed
10 accept as truth the free trade con.
tention that tariff is added to the price
to consumers of all articles finds still
heavier draft upon his credulity when
he Chances over the list of articles sub
mitted. For instance, he wonders if
calico he now buys for five cents a
yard, and on which the tariff is 81
cents would be sold for one and one
half cents under free trade. He looks
toward Great Britain where the nearest
approach to free trade is practiced,
and finds that American calicoes are
sold by leading British merchants, aud
that as matter of fact the retail price
of calico is about the same in England
as in this country. Ho also finds that
there is no such difference in the price
of other fabrics, whether Of cotton,
wool or silk, as free trade fgues and
assertions imply, and is forced to see
the attempt 1t deception when told that
window glass, crookery ware and other
articles now sold cheaper than ever
before are yet double the prices that
would rule under free trade. No for
eign price lists can be found to warrant
such a claim.

How Little Girl Secured One All to
HorselE
Such funny little roly-poly Polly as
she was, with her big-china-blue eyes
that were forever seeing something to
wonder about, and her round red cheeks
that always grew redder when any
body spoke to her. and her crinkly
fiaxen hair that never would stay in
place. Such queer little dumping of
a Polly!
All the same, she liked nice things to
eat as we'll as any one could, and when.
once upon a time, somebody gave her
the measles just in season for Thanks
giving Day, she felt dreadfully about it,
and cried as hard as she knew how be-
cause she couldn't have any turkey, nor
pudding, nor mince-pie for dinner
nothing at all but oatmeal cruel.
But crying didn't help the measles q
mite, as OF course Polly knew it
wouldn't, but she couldn't have helped
crying if she wanted to, and she didn't

the defeat of the party in Wisconsin. He
says it was the school question that made
it impossible for the republicans to win
in that State. Mr. Spooner thinks the re-
publicans will go on with their business
at the coming session of Congress just
as though there had been no election
ami be has no doubt Of the passage OF
an election bill by the Senate.
Senator Plat is also in town this
week. He says the Connecticut legis-
lature is all right, and that he expects
to be his own successor in the Senate.
The shewdest of the democrats have
become very much alarmed at the pros
pect ahead of their party, and attempt
is being made to pat an end to the bit
ter fight, which has already begun over
the Speakership and the other officers
of the next House. Senator German
has. iguratively speaking. read the riot
act to quite a number of the smaller fry
loud mouth member of his party, and
Representative O'Ferrall, of Virginia,
who was sort of democratic leader in
the House during the last session, has
been talking right out loud about what
the democrats will have TO do if they
don't want to be showed under in 1892.
He says: The great mass Of the people
love country more than party, and two
years hence they will rise up against us
if we make fools of ourselves Which
is true, but it doesn't stop the Speaker
ship fight, into which the democrats are
jumping blind-folded and striking out
right and left. There are already twenty
candidates and the number is constantly
increasing. OF course, a large major
ity of the so-called candidates are only
having their names mentioned for the
purpose on getting good committee
places. The fight is a triangular one
between the South. the West and the
North and Ea7t.
1t is already apparent that Mr.. Cleve-
land and Governor Hill are both to
figure in the Speakership contest. no
matter how much against their wills it
may be. The Mills crowd are banking
on the support of Mr.. Cleveland, but it
is said that there is man elected to the
House from a New York district who
has prior claim, and on that tie ex-
President cannot ignore, even if so dis
posed.
have reason to believe that Secretary
Blaine has pleasant surprise in store
for the country on the interesting sub
ject of reciprocity. He has gathered a
mass of valuable data from the reports
of Ministers and consular agents of this
country stationed abroad, and il is ex-
pected that it will be submitted to
Congress, together with certain recon-
mendations from Mr.. Blaine as to how
it should be utilized TO the benefit of
this country.
