PROTECTION The CRY.
The Home Market Club Sounds the
Keynote for 1896.
THE Mckinley LAW UPHELD.
IL Is Declared the Best Tariff Law In
History What Col. Albert Clarke
Suggests In His Report at the Annual
Meeting.

BosToY, Nov. .17.-"Protectfon" will be
the watchword OF the Republican party
for the next four years. The Home Mar
ket Club held It's annual meeting to-day
and sounded the battle cry of the party
in the coming period of opposition. Col.
Albert Clarke. in his annual report, pre-
sented several suggestions which were
adopted. Among other things he said:
"This club, as such, had very little to
do with the framing OF the Mckinley
tariff, but we have sustained it, while
recognizing that it has some small de-
fects, because il is, as whole, the most
scientific the most equable, the least bur
densome and the most promotive tarih
that the country has ever had.
"Since the recent election 1t 10 hastily
assumed that the people have condemned
both this law aad protection itself.
Events will prove that the latter Is not So,
and believe that the former Is only ap-
parently SO.
wherever the tariff was most dis
cussed and our literature was most cir
culated the Republicans were most COM
pletely successful. This proves that
protection is winning. and not a losing
issue, aud that its teaching pays politi-
cally as we'll as industrially.
Il ut UlOSJ Nloi diiobS
publicans the first week after election is
that the entire law-making power may
be vested in the Democrats, so that those
who nave voted for them may get their
fill of free trade. / know their capacity
for bad legislation too well to share this
wish. 1t will be patriotic duty TO check
their dangerous acts, and believe there
will be q conservative minority of them
to act with the Republicans and prevent
any very serious Impairment OF the tariff.
DOUBTLESS they will tinker 1t, but l an-
ticlpate that their reform Will 40 only

sistent by freeing the finished products
most used in democratic States and pro-
tecting the raw materials most produced
there.
but the great mischief has already
been wrought. Many new enterprises
have been checked and many abandoned;
orders Tor machinery and goods have been
Cancelled. 1t remains to be seen how far
this blight will extend.
~ predict, however, that Congress will
not dare reduce the tin-plate duties, and
that if they abolish the duty on wool the
next Congress will be Republican. They
will not adopt free coinage, nor substi
tute State for national currency.
"To me the duty of all protectionists
is clear, and that is to stand together, To
90 forward with industry, to develop the
Democratic purpose, but prevent its ful-
fllment, aud to work as never before Tor
the enlightenment of public opinion and
the promotion of patriotic feeling"

JUST HOW The CASE IS.
Mayor Potter Spoiled An important
City Improvement.
THE RESULT OF A BIG EFFORT.
The City Council Had Worked for Months
on n Plan which the Mayor Allowed to
go by Default on Very Poor Excuse.

There does not seem to be full COM
prehension OF the offence which Mayor
Potter committed when ne let the Charles
street matter 90 by default aud lost the
city an opportunity for an improvement
long needed and almost achieved. at the
cost Of infinite pains and no little expense.
The matter OF widening the street and
putting it in such shape that better
route TO the northern part OF the city
could be obtained, aud giving an oppor-
tunity for the Improvement OF a very OBJ
iectional part OF the city and also extend
ing Canal street, has long been contem-
plated and at last went through the vari-
ous channels, petitions, hearings, action
by the City Council, action by the Su-
preme Court, etc. All these cost money
and pains.
AT last, however, the matter was al
most at an end the court had appoved IL
and given the city council until Nov. 10
TO accept the awards and damages under
the betterment act. The council accepted
il and put il in the hands OF the mayor
with the full confdencs that he as
sworn official of the city understood and
appreciated al the wor and expense and
would do his duty by the act.
The mayor gave no sign that he disap-
nroyed the act. He did not veto ii. III
he was opposed to the work he had not
siunlfied IL but he ''chucked' the act into
n pigeon hole aud let il lie there until nc
| tion was impossible aud the city was de-
| feated in an important Improvement.
| The mayor does not come out boldly and
saw that he had political reasons for doing
| IL and was afraid he might lose Demo
| cratic votes in Ward three or somewhere.
| He does not deny that the matter was i'm
| portant but he simply says 1t was too
late and he did nothing.
Providence people do not want mayor
| whose whole administration has been
| one of doing nothing and waiting for re-
| election Mayor Potter is "A good, mild
| man who wouldn't hurt anybody nor his
| own chances for the world, but the city
is i'm a critical period. Improvement
| is Knocking at the door and begging to
be admitted, and prosperity is waiting
| To be welcomed. Neglecting to attend To
! important business for fear of making
enemies, is not the way 10 promote the
| city's welfare.
| "What has Mayor Potter done for the
cityp" that is what the people would like
| to know.
| In the case OF the Charles street i'm
| provement the amount of all the damages
was known, each having been fixed by the
| court and the assessments under the bet
| terment act so far overbalanced the dam
| ages that that element cuts no figure in
| the case whatever. Now IL the work is
| ever done the whole city may have 20 pay
| for it. III Potter should be reelected and
| show the same spirit the work could not
4 be got under way again for year at any
| rate. and it takes time after il is started.
| IL is impossible TO deny that the mayor
| has gotten the city into a very serious
scrape without the least cause or sense.

many times that he feared his wife would

my death" His wife claims that he

CARLISLE AND WILSON.
Both Talk About a Possible Extra Session
Contingencies.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-Senator Car.
isle. who has been with Cleveland much
since the election, thinks an extra session
possible. The senator stopped here on
his way TO Chicago. From the statement
which Mr.. Carlisle made IL appears that
he is of the opinion that Cleveland will
not make decision us TO an extra session
until IL shall be necessary to do so. Mr..
Carlisle said;
"If there is an extra session IL will prob.
ably not meet until late In the fall. lt
depends on circumstances. The tariff
alone will not furnish sufficient reason
for an extra session. The financial affairs
of the government may be in such shape
as TO make an extra session imperative.
lt appears probable that we shall find
that there il not enough money In the
treasury for the needs of the government
There is n situation In the treasury which
every thoughtful man who has considered
the matter has foreseen.
