A MKINLEY SIN.

One of the most deliberate crimes com
mitted by the last congress was in the
great increase of duty placed on wooden
goods. The manufacturers showed the
woolgrowers to the front to ask for an
increased tariff tax on WOOL. This plea
was heard and promptly allowed. 1t was
thus outlined in the programme. Then
came the wool manufacturers clamor-
ing for a vast increase of duties on wool
en- goods and demanding it on the
ground that as the wool growers had in
creased protection the manufacturer
must pay more for his wool and con-
s%equently must have corresponding pro-
lection. Their demands were also
promptly allowed. Indeed they were
given much more than the wool grower.
But there was no one before the Nc
kinley committee to plead for the con-
He had neither sheep nor wooden
mills. He might freeze; he had not nor
could not yield fat to the republican
Even the manufacturers of
shoddy, some of whose mills use the
rags which have already fallen
from the backs of taxpayers to make
more shoddy, were also before the com
mittee declaring that free wool would
stop their industry. He was also heard
and went away rejoicing that his voice
had been heard in the household of the
faithful. But this reciprocity of high
rates all around has not worked well.
The wool-grower who was persuaded to
pull chestnuts out of the fire for the
manufacturers to eat got less for his
wool than he did before the a]trocious
-ariff act was passed, and at the same
line paying more for his wooden goods.
The poor also suffer, for the coarser and
the class of goods the higher the
'ates of duty. Herein lies the grievous-
less of this Mckinley sin.

QUESTION AND ANSWER.

The New York Tribune asks 'Why
cannot the free trade newspapers
acknowledge, as honest journals, that
both imports and exports have been
enormously increased under the McKin-
ley bill. and that the revenues have
been largely reduced To which the
New York World swers The pro-
t%ectlonist newspapers would acknow-
ledge, If they were honest journals. that
the increase of exports is due to short
crops abroad and not to the Mckinley
bill, and that by as much as imports
have increased by just SO much has the
law failed of its object. The duties were
raised with the avowed purpose of
preventing the flooding of the home
market with foreign goods produced
under 'pauper wages and of enabling
American workmen to get more work
and more pay. The protectionists' boast
now is that imports have increased,
while they cannot point to any increase
OF wages. Where does the protection
come in?"
The case is well put in the Worlds
answer. The republican boast of an in
crease of exports and a reduction of GOV
eminent revenues smacks of an inconsist-
ency which can only be explained by the
fact that the imports are of goods, wares
and merchandise upon which the duties
have either been removed or are merely
nominal. In what other way could in
creased im%portations be accompanied by
a reduction Of revenues. And yet Mr..
Mckinley claims his tariff will create a
home market for home products. It
seems, however, it creates a home market
foreign products if the claim of in
importations be we'll founded.
AS the TRIBUNE has stated the McKin-
tariff is a wonderfully devised law.
checks imports and increases imports.
1t lowers prices by taking off the duty
and lowers them by increasing the duty.

a stronghold by gerrymandering of ter
ritorles at their admission and the ey-
cluslon OF democratic territories. was re-
duced in majority until it is close. We

moJority of the popular vote. and we are
ready again tO'meet our foes. The teach
ers and writer's of the country are with
us. The great dailies and periodicals
are by "a large majority with us. The
people are with us: and we cannot fail.
There are ten states of this union. if I
remember correctly, in which there is no
daily, republican paper, and but few
weeklies. Where is the light and knowl-
edge OF which that party boosted in DAYS
gone by now? We succeed not only this
fall, but in 1892. To the back of that
party we lash its record and go before a
great and honest people without any
fear of defeat.

, ed themselves hoarse over the fact that
, Secretary of the Interior Noble did his
) plain duty under the law and presidents.
! mat gentleman recently decided in a
contested mineral land case that the
Northern Pacific railroad company can
not secure title to any land the mineral
character of which is proved prior to the
issuance of patent. In other words,
lands which are known to be mineral
and which have not already been patent
ed to the company are subject to the
will OF the claimant or owner. In rem
dering this decision Secretary Noble
simply followed the letter of the granting
act which specifically excepted mineral
lands from the grant. Therefore the
TRIBUNE, for one, cannot see anything
In the decision that calls for any partic-
ular demonstration of gratitude toward
the secretary. He simply did his sworn
~duty-nothing more, nothing less.
The supreme court may set aside Sec
rotary Mobiles decision and declare The
lands shall be patented to the railroad
company. In that event what will the
Inter Mountain do about it? Will it
damn the highest court in the land and
get mad If democratic newspapers do
not join it in it's cursings, or will it
quietly subside and thus tacitly confess
it made an ass of itself in berating dem
ocratic newspapers for not playing Sec
ond fiddle to its praises in high C of
Secretary Noble for simply following the
law as he understood it? The TRIBUNE
noted the secretary's decision or ruling
some time ago and expressed the opinion
that if it were sustained by the supreme
court our unpatented mineral lands were
safe from the hands of the Northern Pa
cific. but it failed to note that shouting
and hat throwing were in order. The
Inter Mountain, which is apt to be too
previous in many matters. did enough
OF that kind of business for the whole |
state press.
Coming right down to the bedrock of
common sense it would appear to the
average thinker that as the republican
party ieopardized the mineral lands of
state by its lily considered grant of an
empire in area to a railroad corporation
that the same party should do its ut
most to repair the wrong it committed
and not go begging for democratic aid
to pull it out of a mire which it volun-
entered, But democrats. ever
magnanimous to its political enemies,
have thus far led the fight for the preser
1ation of our mineral lands and while
'%ondoning the error of the republican
they are in no humor to stand
ashing from its hot-headed, inconsider-
ate partisans.

GALORE.

The TRIBUNE dispatches Of yesterda,
morning gave a somewhat startling &C
count Of the vast proportions which
smuggling across the international
boundary line has assumed. Aside from
opium-smuggling it appears that Chi
nese and European pauper immigrants
and Canadian cattle are being brought
into the United States contrary to law.
Just how this smuggling can be checked
is a problem not easily solved. The
boundary line is a long one, reaching
from the Pacific to the Atlantic, with
only here and there a customs house and
a few officers to guard it against illicit
traffic. The frauds, however, are con-
fined principally to the line between the
British possessions and Montana, North
Dakota, and Minnesota. Collector of
Customs Jere Sullivan has notified the
secretary Of the treasury that there is
danger ahead in the shape of the hordes
OF Cinnamon who propose to seek en-
trance into the United States from the
north, and that the force in his district
is totally inadequate to their exclusion.
What steps the secretary may take to
guard our line is not known. and as he is
at present engaged upon the stump in
Ohio helping Mckinley in his fight with
Gov. Campbell he has probably not be-
slowed a thought upon the matter. For
he present, at least. the line must take
