New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1891-06-03

An interesting Republican Newspaper
published at New Ulm, that royalest Of
Dutch towns, famous for its business
prosperity, finds fault with the ,protec-
tive tariff. 1t admits that the Globe
has Alright, as an exponent of Democra.
tic doctrine, to:criticise the theory ofpro.
tectionism. but it thinks that this ought
to be done reverently, seriously, in a
spirit of awe and respect, aud with some
preparatory burning of incense, some
decorations of body, and some genufec-
tions in the presence of that holy thing.
1t shocks It's sense of decencY to see the
Globe trip up with the airiness of bal
let dancer and wantonly guv the scared
. idol at whose shrine the McKin]eyltes
worship. 1t says such conduct is bias
phemy, and would haye law forbidding
it.
The Globe confesses that its Incense
= burning department has been rather
weak of late, and that its acolyte who
is hired to attend to this sort of business
is evidently quite incompetent. It is
sorry to have hurt its contemporaries
feelings, but, at the same time, it really
thinks that no small part of its grievance
Is imaginary. 1t says that, as far as it
knows, the Globe has never warmed the
hearts of it's re&ders with any of those
interesting compilations of tariff statis-
ties which are so much priced and so
eagerly looked for at the breakfast table,
and declares that the children who are
crying for them ought to be gratified.
1t is possible to expect too much in this
direction, and that is one trouble with
the Globes New Ulm critic.
But the other trouble with the Globes
critic is that it has not read the Globes
columns carefully enough. Itsays that
the Globe has left undone great many
things which it ought TO have done, as
. far as it knows. But it does not very
far. The back numbers of the Globe
command a premium, but it would be
money in its critics pocket to buy
complete file and study up on contempt
orary politics. 1t will find lot of facts
there on the tariff question, but know
very little incense. The Globe has largo
stock of this precious material, but it
does not use it in situations when rough
on.rats or sapolia is the proper thing.
Burn incense before the alter of protec-
tionism! Why, the next thing you know,
some one will be criticising the Globe
because it does not speak reverently of
I. Donnelly. There is only one class OF
institutions in the country which can af-
ford to burn incense before fakes, and
they are the dime museums. The
Globes income is not large enough to
warrant such extravagance.--St. Paul
Globe.
The Review is glad to give space to
the above from the St. Paul Globe. It
is glad that the Globe, while declining to
burn it's incense before the alter of pro.
lection, is at least willing to devote so
much of it's valuable attention to crit
icism in small weekly paper published
in New Ulm, famous for its quaint
beauty, its business prosperity and we
may add scarcity of St. Paul Globe sub.
scribers. We are right heartily glad,
we say, that the Globe for once should
become earnest, even it be over so small
a matter as an attack from IAN interest
ing Republican paper,' apparently I'M.
known by name to the editor of the
Globe. But setting the causes for this
unusual interest aside, the Review would
state that it does not desire that it's dali
ly contemporary should approach the
theory of protection with reverence or in
spirit of awe and respect; it does not
wish to see the Globe 60 through any
decorations of body or as if it were
handling an object from within the
holes of holes, for it believes that the
Globe is bothered enough with such re-

the sacred calf of free trade. However
it does think that it would show
no more than self respect and regard
for the notions of other people, chung tc
s for the same reason, perhaps, that the
Globe kneels low before the Stuffed Pro
phet and draws its inspiration from the
hem of his free trade garment, if tina
