There are Free-Trade doctrinaires who CON
tend that if the low tariff OF Buchanan's term
had remained in force until this day the cOun-
try would have been more prosperous than it
is at present. This is a purely speculative
theory which cannot be demonstrated by prac-
teal experience. 1t is not grounded upon facts
but floats in the thin air of economic tran
scendentaliSm. The Republican party, when it
became responsible in 1861 for National legis-
lation and administration had to meet the bur
dens of a costly war; and after Appomattox
it had an enormous public debt to refund and
pay off in large part. Without the tariff it
would have been impossible either to save the
Union or to discharge the bulk of the war debt
No Democratic theorist venture to assert
that the Protective system has not provided the
resources of revenue required for the prosecu-
ton of war OF the first magnitude and for
achievements in debt paying unexampled in his
tory Both the necessity Tor and the efficiency
of the Protective system in these respects can
not be questioned. The Free Trader when he
assumes that a low tariff if petsevered in would
have produced larger results merely begs the
question. He cannot prove his case.
Protection has been our policy for thirty years
All the business interests OF the country are
adjusted to it, A thousand forms of domestic
manufacturing have been protected and de-
yeloped under it, Ten millions OF aliens have
been brought from Europe and supplied with
remunerative employment under the stimulativo
effects of tariff policy markedly favorable to
the investment of capital in home industries.
The working population has become accus-
toned to scale of wages and to manner of
living distinctly superior TO the conditions
which are known in Europe. Foreign com
merce, domestic trade, moneyed investments
aad industrial occupation have been regulated
by the Protective system for generation All
the conditions OF the life and progress Of the
masses of American population are affected by
tho continuance of that system. 1t is now idle
to conjecture what would have happened if
there had been thirty years Of low tariff in

COLD FACTS ABOUT TIN-PLATE.

The Democrats with their usual faulty have
made the increased duties on tin-Datc test
of the utility of the Mckinley act. Two years
ago they denounced that section of the new
tariff as the browning monstroslty' OF the
sum of I" all the denominations OF class leglsla-
tion'' and to this day they have not ceased to
condemn as unworthy of credence all evidence
of the establishment of factories. the rapid IN
PRODUCTION of the industry, and the improve
mcnt of manufacturing processes by which the
price will inevitably be reduced. Their con-
duct respecting tin plate has not been in any
sense exceptional Whenever an attempt has
been made 10 introduce any industry through
the agency of Protection the leaders of the
Democratic party have united in declaring that
it could not be done. Nevertheless, hundreds
Of industries have been successfully established
in this way, and tinplatc is no exception to the
rule.
We invite the attention of our Democratic
adversaries TO some expert testimony on this
subject. which they cannot reject on the ground
that il comes from a partisan source. This is
the article on tin-plate which we reprint from
"The American Architect and Building News
on another page The high authority OF that
journal can now be given for the statement
that the industry has passed its experimental
stage. that every grade and quality of tin and
terne plate is now in the market OF American
manufacture. and that the domestic output al
ready proves that the question of meeting the
entire demand of the home market is only a
matter of the time required for the building
and equipment Of mills. We ask our Rcpub-
Iican friends TO cut out that article and 20 read

To babbe about "tin-platc" liars. II add

CROP REPORTS JUSTIFIED BY RESULTS.


The Agricultural Department of the Govern
ment does not maintain that absolute infallbll-
ity can be attained through the human agencies
employed in crop reporting, but it has been
very widely censurcd where it was not In error
Mr.. Dodge, tho veteran statistcian OF tho De-
partment, has addressed a letter TO Senator
Allison correcting some of these msrcpresenta-
tons which is highly effective. 1t shows,
first. that no premature publication of the re-
ports has ever been made, although statements
of that sort are circulated almost every month
by disappointed SPECTATORS or by persons who
attempt to get money by protesting to have
advance information. The statements which
Senator Vest made in regard to cots'n reports
arc shown to be erroneous; tho Department.
never said there was over production of , 600
600 bales a year. but that the ovcrprOduction
had been 1000, 900 bales in two years, and
Of that statement the current record Of stocks
in sight now gives conclusive proof.
I'm renly 10 the argument that crop reports
tend 10 doprcciatc farm products, it is shown
that for years past the current estimates OF tho
DEPARTMENT have been lower and moro CON
scrvatiyc than those OF State officials. and lower
than estimates commonly accepted by buyers,
and that speculation, and not the official report
inc. has been the cause Of depression in prices.
In reply 70 the Senator from Arkansas, who
asserted that the tobacco estimate of 1856 was
extremely misleading Mr.. Dodge quotes from
official reports showing that the controversy
was actually about the estimates in 1887, that
the surprising reduction Of yield in Kentucky
foreshadoWcd by the reports was strikiney SuS-
tanned by TIE final returns Of Kentucky as
SCISSORS and that the result was really won
dcrfnl vindication of the methods of the De
partment. Further in answer 10 the charge
that the census of 1870 showed an acreage in
crops smaller than the bureau estimated the
Department states that no areas of any kind
were reported by the census of 1870 Finally,
the remarkable decrease in the reported Mime
sofa production Of hay is shown 10 result from
separation Of hay and grasses, which was duly
stated in the report. bur overlooked by critics.
TIE TRIBUNE has always maintained that
the croD reports of the Department were, rs a
rule. immcaSuraby more trustworthy than any
estimates prepared by local boards, or CONNER
cial bodies or speculative journals, and that
their accuracy in most cases has been sur
piSngly INDICATED by results. In some in
stances tho Department has made errors. "a is
inevitable, Bat its conscientious fidelity has
been abundaniy proved. well as the SUI
pcriority of its information in nearly all in
stances and branches TO that obtained from any
other source.

stead of Protection The high tariff has been
in operation during that period. the results are
positively known and all the interests OF the
country are now bound up with it.
Now. what is it that the Democratic party
asks the American people TO do? 1t soliclts
the election of President and Congress pledged
by the Chicago platform to repeal the Pro-
tectiye Tariff and to substitute for it purely
revenue system of taxing imports. Starting
with the assumption that Protection is an
unconstitutional system of robbing the many
for the benefit of the few, it purposes, If sus-
tanned by American public opinion as expressed
in the elections Of this year. to Knock out the
foundations upon which the whole fabric OF
National industry and prosperity has been bllt.
Whatever trimmers here and there may say
that they understand tariff reform to mean, the
Chicago tariff plank will justify a Democratic
Congress in enacting extreme legislation which
will paralvze the business interests of tho cOun-
fry and precipitate nothing less than social
revolution.
These are considerations which are power
fully influencing Americans who have con-
servative instincts. They perceive that tho
triumph of party which proclaims policy OF
economic revolution in its National platform
will imper the stability OF all business IN
terests and every workingman's chance OF earn
inc living and getting on in the world. TO
reverse the tariff policy, to which all forms OF
industry and all invested interests have been
adjusting themselves during thirty years, would
be a supreme act of National folly at any time.
TO do this, when England after fifty years OF
Free Trade is passing through terrible inter
val of depression and Prime Minister has de-
clared that Cobden's theory has been earned
too far. and that the results are highly unsatls-
factory. would be an act of madness.

TON md SOAP.

The cholera outbreak, now happily bccom-
ing a thing of the past far this country
il concerned has impressed anew on all in
tclligent persons the paramount importance of
cleanliness That it is the greatest of what
may be called the physical virtues no argument
is needed to prove. The philosopher who said
that the advance of civilization in any com
munity can be measured by the amount of soap
it uses, not only gave soap a frSt-claSS adj
vertiscmcnt but he uttered a comprehensive
truth. The soap gauge OF progress, if we may
be allowed to put the matter in such homcly
fashion, may be too commonplace TO have at
tracted the attention of those who never speak
except through the folio pages of a ponderouS
tome but it is pretty accurate index of our
development from savagcry all the same. And
Judged by it, Americans have no cause to feel
ashamed when compared with some of their
ncighbors.
If cleanliness and civilization 90 hand in
hand. then the Oldest civilizations ought to
exhibit the most advanced types of cleanliness.
But as n matter of fact, just the opposite is the
case. Tho uncIcanlineSs of some of the old
Asiatic civilizations cannot be described with
ont offending delicate susccptbilitieS The
same thlnB Is perhaps even moro true Oh Certain
populations in Europe 1t is a sad fact that
even the clevating precepts of religion do not
always induce physical cleanliness, even when
they result in high type of moral cleanncss.
John Wesey's dictum that cleanliness is next
to godliness' would fail to receive the assent
of n vast number of cody men in all the older
nations of the world
In answer to all this it will not avail to say
that the most favored elements in every civil
lied country have the same standard of ceanl-
ness. The fact is not denied and does not do
away with the other fact 1t is not simply be-
cause of his occasional bluff and buster that the
Briton, travelling on the Continent, is popu-
larry dubbed "mad Englishman," but be-
cause, no matter what else he leaves behind, be
will carry his tub along with him. Such
devotion to cleanliness is inconceivabe to many
upon it as the wild whim of lunatc. The
Continent of Europe has many monuments of
art, education, piety and charity of which il
NAV well he proud. And Americans do well
to visit them, even though in some cases their
uncleany surroundings are n severe shock to
our nerves, which are not accustomed TO such
products of a ripe civilization. But what some
nations of Europe most need to-day is the op-
portunity to learn the elementary laws of by
gicne and cleanliness, and we arc convinced
that their phanthropists could do nothing more
noble and useful than to establish numerous
