The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1891-05-06

No. such showing ever was made by
any other country in the worlds history,
as none other is found in the record of
this country. The advances shown by
the figures cannot be duly appreciated
Look again at them-60 per cent. in
crease i'm population, 2l2 in farm lands
lSS in wheat and 1O5 in corn production
BOOB in export Of wheat, 2S62 Of corn
2sG of wool, $50 of merchandise, while
the enormous balance of S5s, 900, eco
coin exported under the "tariff for
revenue" was changed TO S76, 600. 900
balance in imports of that important
commodity.
With all this, il must be remembered
that the first years Of the period last
named were covered by the most gigantic
civil war that any nation ever was called
upon to wage-involving, as it did, a
waste of SO, 600, 600, 600 i'm values and the
lives of half million of the most valu-
able citizens of the country.
How much more conclusive is such
showing than all the ine-spun theory of
clustered NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. The people
may be for time mystiiicd with alb
stractions. but these soon disappear in
the light of facts. The above table con
stitutes buwark for protection, which
no assaults Of free-trade theorists can
overcome. 1t is a showing of which ev-
cry true American will be proud, and
Is to be accounted for only as the
result of the benefcent policy of protec-
tion TO American industry. Shall that
policy be now abandoned?
The figures of the census of 1890 are
not yet at hand. While it is certain that
these will abundantly sustain those OF
1880 they will lack the essential advan-
tage of the latter, in having no period of
tariff for revenue" for contrast with its
grand showing. 1t becomes the Ameri-
can people to see to it that no such back
ground of free-trade darkness is hereaf-
ter admitted to their decennial horo-
scope

before. They are studying political
principles and refusing 10 be governed
by simple party dictates, and to-day
there are thousands OF young men who
can intelligently discuss the tariff and
other economic questions where there
were dozens who could do this ten years
ago. Politics has become science
where men must give reasons for the
faith that is in them, and the league is
the great normal school which prepares
speakers who can on the stump, in BUSH
ness, and on the farm, advocate with in
teligence the principles of the Republi-
can party. This is its work, and the
convention held at Cincinnati shows that
it is well equipped for its dut es.-Chica-

"A TELLING CONTRAST.
FREE TRADE AND PROTECTION
SHOWN SIDE BY SIDE.

The Republican League Convention
Facts for Wage ETA. aers--The Rcpubli-
can What They Think OF Hsr-
rison's Letter Convincing Tariff Pict-
ures.
The "tariif for revenue only" enacted
by Democratic Congress in 1916. had
been In operat on seventeen years when
the present protective tariff was adopt
ed. The condition OF the business and
finances of the country during the four
years preceding 1861 is fresh in the
minds of all persons old enough 10 APP
preciate it Some idea of the fruits OF a
"revenue tariff" may be had from the
effects of the one then in operation upon
the credit of the Government In De-
cember, 1850. owing to extreme needs in
meeting daily expenses, Congress pro-
vided for the issue OF Treasury notes,
payable in one year! OF these $40, O00,-
600 were issued, the discount on which
ranged from 3 TO IL per cent. In Feb
ruary, 1861, 8 per cent. lean OF 3d.
00O,0O was authorized, of which only
Sis, 900, 900 could be disposed of Those
sold brought only 50 cents on the dollar.
So desperate was the condition OF the
national credit that the Democratic Sec
rotary of the Treasury even suggested
that the States be called on TO lend their
credit as basis for borrowing money to
meet current expenses So much Tor the
"tariff for revenue only" of 1916.
Alongside the foregoing picture or
business prostration and national dis
credit, let us now place a brief view of the
state of things TO which seventeen years
of protective policy brought the country.
This is NEST succinctly done in the fol-
lowing table from official sources, show
ing the growth of the nation in popula-
ton. industries, and commerce during the
period named TO w.t.

Tho Presidents Letter.

PRESIDENT HARRISoN'S letter TO the
Western States Congress is very able
and positive statement of sound Repub-
lican opinion on prominent public queS-
tions.-BufdlO Commercial.
TIE rendering Of an invitation TO the
President to attend the Kansas City
convention elected more than was eX-
pected or wanted by the vagarists who
thought it possible to obtain from him,
as distinguished authority, countenance
and support for their wild, demagogical
agitation.-Chicago Tribune.
IT is fortunate that the President has
taken an early opportunity to state
with such force Ibis views on these ques-
tons. The arguments he submitted
will not be found easy to answer by
those who dissent from him, nor will
they fail of great influence upon the
opinion of sober and substantial citizens
in all parts of the country.-Ncw York.
Tribune
THE President talks goou Republican
doctrine in his letter to the Kansas City
Commercial Congress, and puts IL in such
straightforward language that nobody
need have any difficulty in comprehend
ing it, y Undoubtedly his letter
will be received i'm many quarters as "a
campaign document, but we think the
people will receive it as very sensible
document, embodying the views of the
majority OF the American people. Phil
ddelphia Press.
WHILE not argumcntative, the Presi-
dents letter is rich in suggestion. IL is
the letter of loyal American to his
countrymen, not the voice of one pre-
tending to be an oracle. The writer lays
down few simple propositions in com
mercal and financial science, and leaves
his readers TO draw their conclusions.
Those who have been tempted by the
siren song of the inlationist or free
trader should read the Presidents letter
with care and heed the warning it con-
veys.-Ninnedpoli Tribune.

The Age OF Decay.

Birth, growth, maturity, decay,
death-such is the normal history of
man. The three periods af life should
sustain certain proportion to each
other: twenty years of growth, sixty
years of maturity, twenty years of de-
cay. This is what might be counted
upon as the ordinary course Of, human
life, but for the fact that we labor un-
der load of ancestral transgressions
of physical and moral law, supplement-
ed and intensified by our own personal
delinquencies and follies.
How pleasant is the picture! Twenty
years of happy childhood and youth,
sixty years of intellectual progress and
achievement, with domestic and social
joys, and then twenty years of slow,
almost unconcious decay, characterized
by serenity of mind, pleasing memoir
les, and joyous anticipations of a great
er life beyond the grave.
Sadly different is human existence
as we see it. We look with wonder
upon Gladstone, past eighty, still Wig
orous in Eody and mind, still strong
and wise to lead the great Liberal
party of England We accept three
score and ten as life's natural limit, and
expect only labor and sorrow if this
limit is passed.
We are doomed, we think, by our in
heritance; and to some extent this is
true. But we should remember the
law of recuperation. The torn flesh
heals; the broken bone reunites.
Diseases tend toward recovery. The
weary toiler rises FROM sleep strong for
new labors. The wise physician bases
his hopes upon this law.
And this tendency of Nature to heal
herself may be greatly assisted by
careful and intelligent living, so that
it is always possible that the man of
unfortunate ancestry may secure for
himself a good old age, and start his
posterity upon an ascending plane.
Do what we will, however, life must
have its end. When the age of decay
is reached. hidden changes are going
on, the elimination of which is the last
great change. The muscles shrink
the brain shrivels; the nerves lose
their sensibility and active power: the
arteries, perhaps, become chalky or
fatty; the heart is weakened; the cir
culation enfeebled; and at last the end
comes.
During this final period, then, we
must take things calmly; avoid ex-
cesses of all kinds; guard against
exposures to cold; keep up q degree of
mental activity; cultivate cheerful
ness; and look forward with hope

The Increase of Our Foreign Trade.

The frce-traders told us while the
present tariff law was under considera-
ton, and they are telling us now, that IL
will have the effect to cut off our foreign
trade. The Mckinley tariff act went
into operation Oct q, 1890; consequently
IL is fair To assume that as early as the
December following the effects of the
new law upon our foreign trade would
be visible in diminished exports aid i'm
ports. What is the testimony of the
figures? From the reports OF the chiai

Instead of falling off, tho aggregate of
our fOreig: trade was SIS, 773, Sal greater
during the the first three months after
the new law was well in force than it
was during the corresponding months of
the year previous Considering the very
large importation OF foreign manufac-
tured goods affected by the tariff during
August and September, the large volume
of imports since that period is quite re-
markable. The net increase of the eX-
port of merchandise of SO, 437, 403 dur
ing the last December, January and
February over the corresponding months
a year earlier is u gratifying feature, as
1t means a saving of gold at home. 1t
also proves the falslty of the free-trade
assumption that trade between different
countries is mere barter, and that If we
do not give them free markets they will
retaliate by refusing TO buy of us. But
statistics are always against the free
traders; consequently they have no use
for them. Facts, however, are argu-
