THE New New York Press Is q partic.
ularly wild eyed, high tariff organ Of
monopoly which maintains that the
duty is not added to the price Of dutia-
BILE article and that the more ample the
protection the cheaper the protected ar
ii Gle becomes The mere statement is
enough to confirm its nonsense and to
proclaim the contradictory propositions,
but the proteotionists reiterate 1t till
foolish people are confused by Its con
slant reassertion into an effort TO believe
Il. II the duty is not added to the price
of dutiable article the article is not
protected, the manufacturer does not
obtain an increased profit and he is no
better prepared TO pay higher wages than
without duty. The duty is put on,
according to the theory Of the protection
lists, to equalize the difference between
wages and the cost Of manufacture here
and abroad. Protection must come
in one Of two ways, namely. by a
partial or an absolute prohIbitive
duty. If the home manufactures
does not obtain an increased
price for his goods he is not benefited
The proposition that an increase of duty
decreases the price is absurd on its face.
The statement that a protective duty
has cheapened the articles on which the
duty was laid is untrue. Prices have
been cheapened by inventive skill, by
machinery, by better methods and by
cheaper transportation, but that has been
accomplished in spite of the protective
tariff Il is clearly absurd to maintain
that an increased duty decreases the
price of articles. either at home or abroad,
The man who makes such an assertion is
misinformed or ignorant.

To this the sheriff replied that he will

tries have risen to demand a lower tariff,
the Postmaster General and other
prominent and influential pro
tectionists having "a strong pull" on
the administration have recovered
SO, 900, 600 from the Treasury on the plea
that they we're taxed too much ON ribbons
in which they deal. There are many
other indications to show that the Repub
lican party is held together by the cohe
siye force Of greed and kept in power by
doodle.
SO soon as each industry, each trade
each individual millionaire fails TO get the
share Of Doodle to which they are entitled
by work done or money subscribed to tht
campaign fund, they will leave the party
There is certain sort of honor among
thieves, even, which insures share Of
the booty to each one. No robber would
ask any other robber to continue to risk
his life without receiving proportionate
share in the loot.
Considering this state of affairs the
Democrats should propose and urge that
wool be put on the free list That is q
concrete proposition to make definite
reform.
Wooden clothes are necessary TO the
comfort and health of the poor. The tax
raised from wool is not needed by the
government The tax claimed by the
Ohio sheep growers is objected to by
equally good Republicans who manufac.
ture cloth in Massachusetts,.
Everybody admits that the tariff should
be reduced, but the Republicans cannot
agree whose Industry shall be ruined.
The Democrats would make great stroke
of policy by solving the difficulty for
them and presenting the country with a
concrete question of free wool or taxed
clothes.
The Republicans cannot compromise
and they cannot unite on that question.
They would go to pieces. They can
only unite by viewing the question Of
protection in the abstract
When it becomes a question of free
wool Or taxed clothes, the tax on wool-a
raw material-will go like the tax on
quinine went.
We have more factories, and more and
cheaper quinine The same would be
true Of wool.

Special Correspondence EVENING JOURNAL.
SMYRNA, Jan. 1.-THE Smyrna Choral
Society was organized last night as per-
manent association, with something over
forty members. II has been put on a
sound financial basis, and as 1t embraces
most OF the best voices in the town, it
is sure to be success in every way.
Very fortunately the services of Profess
sor N. Dushane Coward of Wilmington
have been secured, and though his first
lesson has been just given, he has made
most favorable impression on his class.
He is, by all odds, the best instructor
who has ever been in the place, and is not
only thoroughly conversant with his art
but possesses in addition the rather rare
faculty Of imparting information.
II Is decided to give an entertainment
early in February opening with the
''Hallelujah Chorus" by the Smyrna
society, followed by program to be rem
dered by picked quartette from VIII
mington under the direction of Professor
Coward, and closing with a one act
comedy by local talent A little later in
the season "Pinafore" may be given and
a series of public entertainments in addi-
ton to this is already projected. This is
a comprehensive program for so young q
society, but 1t Is not every country town
that can afford so many good singers, nor
every country town that can secure SO
able leader as Professor Coward.
There are at least two aspirants for the
governorship In this town, and there are
at least two gentlemen that are doomed
to disappointment when the convention
assemblies. All the same they are both
doing some fine canvassing in their
unique way.

of the various arguments which have
been brought against the proposed Aus

NEWSPAPER OPINION.


ANtAAhH CONGRATULATIONS
Philadelphia Record.
The debt of the United States has been
reduced to the amount of $3.50, 900, 600;
and this is proclaimed to the world as a
"matchless" financial record. 1t should
have been added to this boast that the
debt reduction has been accomplished by
maintaining excessive taxes upon arti.
cles Of necessity and by purchasing gov
eminent bonds from their holders at
twenty-five and twenty per cent. prem
ium The money extorted from the
people in needless taxation has been paid
to the bondholders largely in premiums
upon a debt not due for years to come.
This Is indeed a ''matchless" financial
policy. No other civilized nation would
tolerate IL. The record shows TO how
great an extent class interests seeking to
maintain enormous burdens Of taxation
dominate over the interests OF the masses
of the people
