The NEWS" TURN NOW

The PROVIDENCE NEWS says that print
ers in Scotland get from u to $s per week,
while on the NEWS they earn si7 to sci,
aud attributes this difference to protec.
tion. We fail to see how IL dares TO admit
this, for typesetter on q newspaper has
no protection whatever. Why does 1t not
talk about protected industries
A printer on the Liverpool Mercury can
earn sl5 per week easily. and with that he
can buy as much as he could with $25
here. We have had a chance to try It
ourselves, and know whereof we speak.
Take some other comparison, neighbor.-
Newport Herald.
We are glad to see that the Herald
is taking this question up, for the fullest
discussion of Mr.. Lansing's facts and
figures can but benefit all. The differ
ence noted, however, is due to protec-
ton. Book printers are directly pro-
tected by our tariff laws, and the print
ers' unions enforce equal wages through
out the trade. They are enabled to do
this by the general prosperity of the
country and by the absence of such
terrible competition as exists in Great
Britain. British printers have their
unions, too, and would keep wages up
If they could, but very considerable
share of English book printers is al
ready done in Leipsic and more would
fly there If higher wages We're paid at
home. This throws book printing in
competition for news work. Some Ger
man book, pamphlet, map and color
work comes here also, in spite OF the
tariff, which isn't an inch too high.
Nor do we believe that SIS in Liver
pool enables a man to live as well as
c,sl ~ int Mr.
Lansing's price lists of the necessaries
of life.
1t is not to be denied, however, that
following reciprocity negotiations there
has been q considerable increase in ex-
ports, which, of course, leads pretty di-
rectly to the conclusion that the freer we
jury to revenues or home indus
tries, the better 1t will be for u.s.
Journal.
1t is noticeable that the Journal puts
revenues" before "home industries"
The Republican instinct is to put the
thing 'tother end foremost,
Fifty-nve millions Of us are whites and
less than eight millions have dark col
ored SKINS and yet the white Southerners
can't sleep o. nights for fear of "nigger
domination The whites increased dur
ing the last decade 20. eS per cent. and the
colored persons 1911 per cent.--Spring-
fleld Union.
Doesn't seem to be much occasion for
worry on that side, does there?
The only natural establishment that
Springfield wants and cannot have is
ure IL would be, IL we had Mount
Holyoke or Sugarloaf at one end OF
Forest park. Springfield Union.
Don't worry and grump about it, but
get the er-Repubtican with its blue
glasses to make one out OF molehill.
Those who are looking for pointers to
tell them what the platforms Of the two
parties mean on this 1.-THE silverl question
may be interested TO note that while the
Minneapolis platform 10 pronounced by
Senator Teller of Colorado to be satisfac-
tory from u free coinage point of view,
the Chicago platform has apparently
strengthened the disposition of the Colo
RADIO Democrats to bolt the national
ticket.-Journal.
The Journal betrays it's Democracy
by its unfairness. Why not tell the
whole TRUTH Mr.. Teller is Repub-
lican. Mr.. Wolcott is Republican,
but kicking one. AS matter Of fact,
Colorado likes neither platform, and of
those who are not prominently connected
with either party big number pos
sibly majority, will vote for Freak
DonEelly or anyone else on silver
platform.
II he (Stevenson) is elected we trust the
Hon. Grover Cleveland will honor this
mundane sphere with his presence until
March f. 1897. We can't stand another
spoils President in this generation
Bedford Journal.
Decent folks who object to Axeman
Adlai will refuse to vote for gross
Grover. Apoplexy carries off the like of
the fat fisherman.
Democrats should bear in mind that
United we stand; divided we fall. p
Pawtaeket Tribune.
Beaten sure, then for Gen. Harmony
has never been able to get brevet rank,
let alone Q command, in the Democratic
army.
The Democrat Is sorry to see him (Cleve-
land) nominated, for he is about as weak
a man as the party could put up. Hill,
Russell, Boies, German or Palmer would
be immeasurably stronger in the Demo
cratic states. .-Holyoke Democrat.
Don't like the dose; well, lots of Dem
ocratS agree with you, out hepuDncans
are suited admirably.
"The candidate selected (Harrison) will
stand as the exponent Of protection, which
blocks the American market against Brit
ish manufacturers. A Republican vic
tory in the coming election would retard
for n long time the progress OF the sound
commercial doctrines that underlie the
commercial greatness of Great Britain
and alone maintain British ascendancy."
London News.
Whoop her up lively for Cleveland,
all you Americans who want to vote for
foreign manufactures and foreign labor
against American manufactures and
American labor. It's straight issue.
Mr.. Cleveland should get his check
book ready. His personal contribution
of s140, 600 which he poured down the rat
hole of 1888 while it was not exactly In
