THE ToTTERINo FREE TRADE
SYSTEM.

From tho Globe Democrat.
There are unmistakable signs that The
free-trade system of England is totter-
ing, and that at least a partial resort ia
protection by that country Is among
the probabilities of the near future. The
Mckinley law has dealt severe blow
to her commerce, and our reciprocity
policy is certain to deprive her OF many
markets from which she has long de-
rived large profit. Her manufacturing
Industries ara no longer prosperous,
and her merchants are all complaining
of dull times. She is selling less to
other countries and buying more from
them. The tariffs of her rivals are plac-
ing her at disadvantage everywhere.
Her belief in the virtue OF free trade
does not suffice to conceal the fact that
her prosperity is being undermined by
nations that believe in protection. The
question that confronts her is practical
and not theoretical. If all the rest OF
the world would consent to do business
on a free trade basis, she could retain
and extend her commerce; but the rest
of the world is not willing to do her
that kindness, and the only chance left
her for conserving and promoting her
welfare is to adopt the policy that is be-
ing used with SO much effect against it.
This is humiliating, of course, but the
necessity is plain and urgent.
Tho republican party has reason to be
well pleased with this situation, since it
demonstrates in direct and convincing
way the fact that free trade is not a
source of strength to nation under the
present conditions of civilization. In the
contest for commercial advantages
throughout the world protection is not
a drawback, as the democrats are 50
fond of asserting. Our foreign trade is
increasing at an unprecedented rate,
while that of England is steadily de-
creas:ng. We are able to compete with
other nations and yet not expose our
domestic industries to any danger. The
tariff is at once both an assurance OF
safety at home and means of assistance
abroad. Those who argue that it pre-
vents us from gaining access to new
markets are contradicted by the record
of our growing exports and the acknowl-
edgn.ent on the part OF England that
she is losing ground in that respect.
The truth is that our system answers
our purpose in satisfactory and en-
way. 1t is not perfect by
any means, but IN general sense its
operations are such as to vindicate it's
wisdom and justify its continuance. The
lesson of England's misfortune is mani
fest and important, and it comes in a
good time to be of much service to the
cause of protection in this country.
Our people cannot fail to see that free
trade is condemned by its results where
It has been thoroughly tried, and that
The best thing they can do is to maintain
The policy that has here proved 80 re-
beneficial.

A HEALTHY CONDITION.

From the k,nsas City. Mo-, Journal.
1t is shown by the May report of the
treasury department that the total
amount of money of all kinds in the
hands of the people is S1,613,OOO,O 600, q
little more than one-third of which is in
gold and silver certificates. During
the PAST twelve months the volume Of
currency was increased 500, 00O, 900, or
nearly 6 per cent of the amount in cir
culation. The report also shows that
the silver dollars are rapidly drifting
back into the treasury. Out Of $413,-
000, 900 coined, only $57, 500, 900 remair
in circulation. Ninety-two per cent
those in the treasury, however, are rep
resented by silver certificates in tn
hands of the people.
These figures clearly show two things
First, that the wise republican legisla,
ton of the Fifty-hrst congress is bear
ing good fruit. The purpose of the f.
nancial measure passed July, 1890, was
to give steady and safe increase of the
money supply, and resultant stimulus
to business and easier times for the peo-
pie. That general improvement in
business is being felt throughout the
country is apparent to all. The upward
movement is gradual, but it is percept-
ible. Farmers and other producers are
feeling it, and in due time merchants
and business men generally will share
the benefits.
The other fact shown is that the peo-
pie prefer paper to metal for money
purposes. The preference, Of course, is
merely one of convenience. There is no
prejudice against silver outside of poll
tics. But metal is weighty and people
don't like to handle it. A few dimes
and quarters for pocket use are not OBJ
jectionable, but when it comes to dollars
paper is more desirable. That form of
money is preferred which is most con-
veniert for ordinary uses. Paper with
q basis substantial enough to obtain
popular confidence is what the public
wants; and this it gets in the gold and
silver certificates.
Both the republican and democratic
parties promise better times when asking
to be trusted with power. The difference
is that the republicans fulfill their prom
Uses and the democrats do not.

STOCK AND FARM.

Garden City Imprint: Farmers re-
port early planted corn up and good
stand. All signs point to good corn
crop this season.
Plainville Times: Spring crops have
been considerably delayed by the con-
tinued cold, wet weather, but the vast
acres of wheat in Rocks county are i'm
proving every day.
Garfield Call: The reports Of the con-
dition of wheat are universally favorable,
but that sown on well cultivated lands
is far ahead of that sown without much
preparation Of the land.
Atwood.-Last year there were about
1000 farmers in Rawlins county. They
raised, conservatively estimated, 1,0O0,-
900 bushels of corn and 100000 bushels
of wheat. This year we have probably
1000 to 1900 farmers, and the crop
acreage is at least four times that of last
year.
Pawnee Rock Leader: Barton county
has 150, Zoo acres of wheat which could
not possibly be in finer condition than
it is at the present time. Placing the
yield at the lowest estimate, Barton
county will have 100000 bushels of
wheat this year, and is liable to have
3.750,000 bushels.
Cedar Vale Star: John Oliver lost
seven head of cattle: by lightning. All
were found with their heads through
wire fence and lying side by side
three steers, two good COWS and two
heifers. John thinks this is an off year;
he plowed up thirty acres of wheat this
spring and is having trouble to get
stand of corn.
Norton Headlight: Although the
small grain and fruits are doing nicely,
the farmers of this vicinity are very
much disappointed because of the late
ness of the season in regard to corn
planting. The old system of blowing
and using the planter will be entirely
discontinued this year and the lister
will reign supreme.
Ness City News: F. Buchanan con-
tinues to lead the farmers of Ohio town.
ship with the largest acreage of wheat,
having out 1876 acres, and all is looking
we'll. Besides this large acreage of
small grain, he and his son will put out
about 200 acres of barley, corn, kafir
corn, millet and cane this spring, and
will break $50 acres for planting.
Santa Fe Monitor: Conley Lewis has
in over fifty acres of corn, fifteen acres
of cane and twelve acres of millet up to
this time and will increase the amount
about 100 per cent. He also has in
$50 acres of wheat and ten acres of oats
that are looking as we'll as anyone could
desire. With the exception of hiring
six days blowing with another team,
Conley has put in this immense crop
with one team by himself, and raised a
colt from one of them last year which he
sold the other day for $75.

KANSAS RAILROADS,

l. W. Towne, general superintendent
of car service and claim agent of the
Kansas City, Fort Scott & Memphis
road, is dead. He died in Kansas City,
from rheumatism.
Chanute Times: The Santa Fe has
increased the wages of all section men
to $1.25. This is an act of justice, and
being granted without any demand upon
the company makes the boys feel very
grateful to the Santa Fe. They are the
poorest paid of any men on the road.
At Emporia a rumor is current that
n. G. Cross will resign his presidency of
the NJ. K. & T. The reason assigned
for this step is that Mr.. Cross private
.Is.noss 1ei.-inIs his attention and that
he is weary of the absence from his
home and family which his present du-
ties necessitate.
Leavenworth.-In the district court
in the case of Carmichael, administrators,
against the Missouri Pacific railroad for
damages, Judge Crozier rendered de-
cision that created much surprise and
not little adverse criticism. The attor-
neys for the railroad raised the point
that the legal representatives of per-,
son killed through the carelessness of
employees had no cause for action against
the company. To the surprise of all,
Judge Crozier sustained the point and
threw the case out Of court In doing
so he virtually decided that any person
injured by railroad, whether an en-
ploye or riding on full fare, by drunken
or incompetent employees of the COM
pany, had no cause for action or redress
in any way.

THE two issues that the democrats
were going to make their campaign on,
this year, were the Mckinley law and
the billion dollar congress. All the pith
has been taken out of one of these by
the logic of events, and out Of the other
by the appropriations OF the present
democratic house.

SAD NEWS TO BRITISH TORIES.

From Letter Published in the London Times.
A census is being taken in the United
States of the industrial results of the
Mckinley tariff and it's success in estab-
fishing new industries and bringing in
creased opportunities for the employ
ment Of the working classes. The fret
returns have just been oollated. They
show that in the last eighteen months
no fewer than 127 new factories have
been established and fifty three old ones
expanded. Four we'll known English
textile firms have moved the whole or a
portion of their plant across the Allan
tic, and many of the most skilled hands
from the tin plate mills in South Wales
have emigrated.
With such results, attended by. the
notable increase in the American export
trade, contrasting with the continuous
decline in British exports and the daily
record of diminishing employment for
English, Welsh and Scotch artisans, the
hope is small, if not nil, CT the early re-
duction of the tariff, which has further
secured in many markets an advantage
for American over British goods under
the reciprocity clause.
Your labor correspondent will soon
have more rueful tale to tell than the
idleness at the present time Of $4,000
skilled workers in only nineteen trade
unions comprising $4,000 workers.
The first chapters are being now pain
fully learned in many home in York
shire, Lancashire, South Wales, Glasgow
and Dundee. A remedy is ready when
the people awake.
