on invitation which went to Detroit TO secure
the meeting OF the next national eneampment

results which they did so much to &C.

snry financial support for the entertainment

the vastcr and more important task Of provid-
ing for the proper reception and entertain
ment of the host of veterans that will come to
Washington next year. and first step OF
selecting the committees who shall represent
the city in the various branches Of this labor.
These selections should be made with the
greatest care. Nothing should be done over
hastily. The best Hen-tbose in whom all will
have confidence and who will be active
workers-sheuld be chosen. Full appreciation
OF the magnitude Of The task to be performed
should mark every step in the city's prepare
tion for this event from the very first TO the
last. The attendance at the next encampnent
will undoubtedly be larger than ever be-
fore in the history of the Grand Army of
the Republic. Already in almost every state in
the Union the exsoldiers making arrange
rnents to visit the national capital. Many who
have not visited Washington since they marched
n the grand review in June, 1s65, are row
eagerly anticipating again looking upon the
city that their valor aided to save, and it IS
beloved that the number of visitors will reach
1T least a quarter of million For not only
will the old soldiers themselves come, but they
will bring their wives and children, and then
there are the Womens Relief Corps, the Union

organizations There should be the most per-

Not n Dead Head.

By the way, Major Mckinley is not
dead head. He makes no boast of the
fact and would doubtless prefer that the
fact be not published; but for the truth
of history it must be recorded that he
not only pays his way on the railroads,
but pays full rates for his telegraphic
messages. He will not be under obliga-
tions to any of the corporations that ask
favor of public officials when he takes
his seat as Governor Of Ohio, and should
occasion require him to officially treat
with them he will do so without any pre-
disposition to favor caused by sense of
obligation. This is the ideal condition.
The servants of the people cannot with
propriety accept special favors from any
class, and if they haven't the good sense
as Major Mckinley has to refuse the
favors they ought to be compelled to do
so. Mckinley has set good example in
this matter.-[Special correspondence Of
the Cincinnati Times-Star.
The News-Herald. [volume] (Hillsboro, Highland Co., Ohio) 1886-1973, 1891-09-10

Here is table that every farmer and wool
grower ought to have clearly impressed
upon his mind. 1t shows at glance that
the Mckinley law either maintains or in
creases the old tariff on wool in all tho
classes grades and conditions specified; and
not only tina. it shows just what the Demo-
cratic House in 1888 proposed to do. How
can any Ohio farmer or wool-grower hesi-
tate for a moment with which party he
should be identified? If he will not vote
to protect his own interests who can he ex-
pect Others to respect or protect them?
The Democrats, as usual with them when
confronted with unpalatable facts, are
lying about this schedule, and complaining
that wool is lower than last year. This
from party which in 1888 carried bill
through the National House of Representa-
tives making all wool free It is like plea
for virtue by the Father of Lies. The
Ohio farmer is not fool; he will not
be gulled; nor made the dupe of his worst
enemies.

lent review of the condition of the wool pro-
duct and wool market in that section Of

An Object Lesson in Finance.

Mexico has free coinage of silver, and its
silver dollar is legal tender for any
amount. Notwithstanding these facts, the
Mexican dollar will purchase only its
bullion value which was seventy-seven
and one-half cents last week. With such
an object lesson, how can any one favor
free coinage in this [Meigs
County Republican.
When the editor of the Register was
In Mexico, not long ago, he changed a
$40 National bank bill and got 1880 in
Mexican dollars. The reason is that
free coinage had driven out gold by
cheapening the silver. In lowering the
value of the currency, Mexico put q
burden ON the labor of that nation which
presses it almost to abject bondage.
Free trade and free coinage in Mexico
limit labor to an 8 by 10hut and five cent

SENATOR FRYE.
LEWISTON, Me-, August, 1891.


Theoretically the doctrine Of "free
trade" h we'll enough, and were the con-
ditions equal the world over, or as nearly
tically it would work well. But they
present slow progress in the imprcve-
ment in the condition of the working
men and women of Europe to bring
about such a result. I know from care
full personal investigation that the wages
paid in Europe today in manufacturing,
mining, and agriculture are not. on the
average, quite one-half those well estab-
lished here; that the product OF these
wages seeks our market and competeS
with the product of our industries; that,
while fifty years ago difficulty of COM
munication, cost of transportation,
length of time consumed by it, and the
enormous profits demanded by invested
capital abroad. tended somewhat to
equalization. Today these elements
must be almost entirely eliminated from
the problem. Can we compete with
these countries in these industries under
these conditionsp
We can, first, by reducing the wages
of our men and women to the scale pre-
vailing there, and their manner of living
to that obtaining abroad, then opening
our ports to the free admission of their
products. The contention, the misery,
the wretchedness which would newt
ably follow such an experiment no man
can measure. u.
Second, we can by imposing upon all
imports, competing with the products Of
our labor, duties equivalent, or nearly
30, to the difference in the wages of the
workmen there and here. This is pro-
lection, and exactly what the Mckinley
bill seeks to accomplish. Enforced, It
secures to our people the lions share Of
their own market, the best in the world,
fair wages, comfortable living and gen.
eral prosperity, while competition here,
new methods and machinery secured by
it, thorough organization, and economy
of management, in time, inevitably re-
duce the cost of all manufacturers to our
consumers.
Learning something by the experience
Of our past, and knowing that our future
depends largely upon the comfort, hap
piness, intelligence and good disposition
Of our wage earners, cannot be other
than protectionist.
WILLIAM P. FRYE.
