THE GREAT SHADOW.

never forgive Mr.. Blaine, having wronged
him, aims this morning this sneering
slur at the greatest of living Americans:

worth ten thousand men. Twice this
year his brief utterances have been more
widely quoted, read and discussed than
all the letters Of acceptance put to-
gether. In his Maine letter he put De-
mocracy on the defensive on its infam-
Gus wildcat money proposition. In his
speech to perhaps hundred neighbor-
ing farmers at Purchase station. he
uttered words which are an inspiration
and trumpet call TO Irish Americans
from Maine to California. Two months

first time touched "even money" as
quoted in the Democratic papers.
That's what the shadow has done. How
do You like the record?
Nor can the Journal explain how Mr..
Blaine can help Whitelaw Reid to the
vice presidency without aiding in Mr..
Harrlson's success. lS1r, after Mr..
Blaines public tribute to the Presidents
can it honestly attrib
ute any such wish TO the Maine leader.

wHITELAw REID's LETTER.

The formal letter of acceptance of the
Republican nomination for the vice
presidency from Mr.. Whitelaw Reid il
published in another part of the News
to-day.
1t is not properly letter of accept
ance. ms Mr.. Reid declares, as he ac-
cepted the nomination mt once, when he
was notified of the action of the con-.
vention. IL is a wise and acute discus
sion of the issues of the campaign,
however, and as such has value that
does not attach TO letters Of acceptance
issued directly after conventions have
done their work and before the cam
paign is actually begun.
Mr.. Z i'd takes up the chief issues
that the people are now considering and
deals with them in the incisive fashion
of the trained journalist, bringing out
with special force and clearness the ad-
vantage that the Republican party has
In its attitude toward them.
The general trend and conclusions of
the letter are the arguments that have
been made by the Republican papers
and speakers, including the News. and
do not need to be restated at this time.
What is peculiar to it, and what gives
1T readable value, is the literary skill
and vigor with which the Republican
argument is stated
1t is a letter that those who are at all
Interested in the campaign, on either
side, cannot afford TO neglect.

In l776 we declared our political in.

been thus independent
But all this time our industrial in.

The great question now is. Shall we
become industrially independent? II is
imperative that we be so.
The question will in large m easure
be solved by the presidential election
now at hand; for as protection or free
trade shall prevail so will be our indus
trial independence.
We are emancipating ourselves from
the dominance of the economic ideas

industry, especially to American labor.
Experience is the best and rigid
schoolmaster. We know from our past
industrial history that whenever Demo-
cratic success has made possible even
an approximate free trade the result
has been ruinous, industry became par
alyzed and labor begged bread. When
our ports are opened to the importation
of the pauper products of England or
the continental nations of Europe, our
higher-priced labor must go to the wall.
The evils of English cheap labor are
intensified by a system of undervalua-
tions. This accomplished, our manu-
featuring will be utterly prostrated. On
many occasions this has been done, for
the motto of free-trade England has
ever been, ruin, then rule.
In view of these facts, What is the
duty Of the patriotic citizen? Shall he
cast his vote for free trade and ruin or
for protection and prosperity?
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1892-10-19

Free trade gives to the foreign pro.
ducer equal privileges with us. Upon
what principal of fair play should he
have them? 1t invites the product Of his
cheaper labor to this market to destroy
the domestic product, representing our
higher and better paid labor. 1t destroys
our factories or reduces our labor to the
level of theirs. 1t increases foreign pro-
duction, but diminishes home produc-
ton. We cannot have free trade in this
country without free trade conditions.
The Democratic platform demands it
upon these conditions, and is bound to
have it at any cost. The world knows
what these conditions are. The farmers
and workingmen of England know
what they are. Thousands Of men who
have worked on both sides of the ocean
and under both systems know the con-
ditions. To introduce them here will
bring widespread discontent--revolu
tionize values. II will take from the
people who work for living heart and
hope and home. II will be self destruc-
tion.-Governor Mckinley.
