HERE COME The PEOPLE
They Are All Figuring on Secur-
ing That $500 Cash Prize.
THERE ARE 29 CONTESTANTS
Perhaps 100000 Votes VIII be Cast In
This Contest--The Indications Point
That way--The Most Earnest Workers
Are at the Top.

There are twenty-nine contestants In
the NEWS $500 cash prize contest and
they represent constituency Of nearly
1000 voters.
Not quite 400, 900 votes have been re-
ceived up to this date, but the contest is
vet in it's infancy, and as repeating is al
lowed it will not surprise any one IL every
inhabitant is represented before the hnal
count by at least one vote.
Since Saturday when the complete list
was published there have been no import
ant changes on the standing OF the con-
testants. One gentleman, evidently a
salesman, writes "A long letter from Kan
sas City and sends coupons with 1t.
The contest has its humorous sides also
as can be seen by reference TO some OF the
letters appended.
Do not be uneasy when your letters are
not printed in the NEWS. There is always
an excellent reason for not using these
lett ers. Saturday, for instance, they
were crowded out Dy the great display or
advertisements. All OF the votes received,
however, were promptly tabulated and
acknowledged.

Lord Salisbury's objection TO Free IN1sle is
that it is not businessike. Commenting at
Hastings on the fact that forty or fifty years
ago everybody in England believed that Free
Trade would conquer the world, he declared
that the prophecies have not been fulfilled, but
that every foreign naGon is trying how it can
by agreement with it's neighbOr get the
greatest possible protection for its own indus
try and at the same time the greatest possible
access to the markets OF its neighbors. No
body cares two straws" he exclaimed, "about
getting the commercial favor Of Great Britain.
What is the reason Of that? II is that IN this
battle Great Britain has deliberately stripped
herself of the arm0r and the weapons by which
the battle is fought" Then the English Prime
Minister went on to explain that the weapon
in common use among nations was admission
to their markets, and that his own country re-
garded it as contrary and disloya to the sacred
doctrine of Free Trade "to levy any duties
upon anybody for the sake of anything that we
can get by it," :" | can only say" he added,
4" that may be noble, but it is not business and
that on those terms you will get nothing by it,
Now, when an English Prime Minister sur
veys the operation of the Free Trade system
since 1910 and condemns it as unbusinesslike,
he exposes the folly and credulity of American
theorists and tariff agitators who desire the
reproduction OF the same policy in this coun-
try When President Cleveland sent his tariff
message to Congress in 1887 he proposed the
reduction of protective duties on wool and other
articles produced n-large quantity in the United
States but he said nothing about the removal
OF revenue duties like those on sugar Mr..
Mills had not proposed free sugar that was the
last thing the Democratic tariff agitators want
ed, for those duties were revenue rather than
protective. A Republican Congress removed
the duties so as to cheaper an article of gen.
eral consumption, but did it in such way as
to get great deal in exchange. The largest
market In the world for sugar was opened

In these modern times nations are battling
for market. Americans have not, Ike the
English. stripped themselves OF armor and
weapons. They defend their own market and
Goht for the possession of other markets with
weapons in their hands.
Republican Protection is above all things
bnsinesslike. 1t has developed the foreign
commerce of the country at an extraordinary
rate. but not by sacrificing industrial interests
and deprivng the people OF employment. BE-
tween IS47 and 1861 the total iorelgn COM
merce averaged S553 900 year. between
1876 and 1890 it averaged Sl,3o6, 000,oO0.
In 1892 the aggregate was Sl.S5I, 724910.
Rnt these large increases of both imports and
exports were accompanied by a development
of home industries under which three times
az many mechanics and artisans were employed
in 1890 as in 1860. The tariff duties have
been levied in such way as 10 open Tree
market for what is not made here, ana 10 re-
strict the importation of what can be produced
on American sell with American labor Tho
result is that while the percentage OF free to
dutiable goods is now 50 1-2 to A IL, whereas
in Buchanan's term it was ID to Is, the largely
increased importation has not interiered with
tho development of home manufactures and
agriculture al industries. The tariff is at once
a defence and weapon.
Since 1860 over ! | 900. 900 Europeans have
come to the United States, yet the rate OF
wages has increased at least 30 per cent ana
there is employment to-day for all. What the
Democrats aim to do is to levy tariff duties IN
such a way as to employ the millions who re-
main in Europe rather than the millions who
are here As Lord Salisbury said, loyalty TO
the English theory may be noble, but IT is not
business Republican Protection employs the
millions here rather than the millions IN Eu-
rope, Yet enargcs the foreign commerce OF the
country by opening the ports TO what cannot
be produced here, and makes the weight OF the
best market in the world felt in determining
commercial exchanges. As Lord Salisbury
says it may not be sentimental. but 1t Is busi-

The slenderness of the threads on which ever

comment many times in the past. The retlec-

about, which is told elsewhere. There is that
in the tale which prompts the melting mood,
