WASHINGTON OR CLEVELAND?


New York Press.
Mr.. George Tichnor Curtis is doing
valuable work in continuing his merci-
less exposure of free trade "reformers'
and their crazy tariff plank. The fol
lowing paragraph from this eminent
Democrat brings out in bold relief the
glaring absurdity of the Democratic
declaration that a protected tariff is
unconstitutional:
"The first Congress, Washington and
all his Cabinet and the entire generation
of men by whom the Constitution was
established knew perfectly well that eu-
couragement and protection of manu-
factures was one of the objects for
which the revenue point was granted.
The nonsense of a tariff for revenue only
could not be perpetrated by that gener-
alton. Rut now comes Mr.. Grover
Cleveland, in this year of our Lord 1897,
and says virtually that he knows more
about the purposes for which the Consti-
tuition was made than the men did who
made it. He says virtually that if he
had been President of the United States
in 1889 he would have sent the first
revenue bill back to the House with a
veto message in which he would have
told that body that they must alter the
preamble so as to make it read that
tariffs should be imposed for revenue
alone, otherwise he could not sign it.
Having thus dealt with Mr.. Cleveland
and the tariff views for which he stands,
Mr.. Curtis points out that the discussion
of the first tariff law was precipltated by
petition presented to Congress by
tradesmen and manufacturers of Baltl-
more who prayed for the imposition ION
all foreign articles which can be made
in America such duties as will give a
decided preference to their labor" Thus
the qestion of tariff, whose main OBJ
iect should be protection instead of rev.
enue, was brought before the Congress.
That body's subsequent declaration, in
the preamble of the bill which grew out
of the discussion, that import duties were
necessary for the protection and en-
couragement of manufacturers was not
made inadvertently, but designedly and
with clear comprehensin of all that it
implied.
The tariff question was happily mar
rowed down and simplitied by the Dem
ocrats at Chicago when they ranged
themselves beside John G. Calhoun and
Jefferson Davis, the most malignant
enemies this government ever had, and
declared war on the principles and the
system of Washington and his illustrious
associates in the work of making this
nation and starting it on its unrivaled
career of industrial development

THE London Times advises the farm
ers of Great Britain to abondon wheat
growing, and go to truckraising. 1t
says they can not compete with wheat
grown In India, Russia, Manitoba, and
the United States. Free trade has ruined
the British farmers, to build up manu-
factures; and now the protective policy
pursued by all civilized nations is caus-
ing British manufactures to decline.
The United States now exceeds her in
manufactures of iron and steel, while
all other nations are producing more and
more In other lines.

COUNTERFEIT BANK NOTES.

Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette.
Mr.. Z. q. Fillmore, of GAINESVILLE, D..
has addressed letter to Gov. Mckinley
calling attention to one of the most
dangerous features of the banking
system during the era of wildcat cur
rency. He refers to the heavy losses
incurred by reason of the many counter
felt bills which were constantly showed
into circulation. Mr.. Fillmore has been
in active business for fifty seven years
and he estimates his losses from being
deceived by counterfeit notes, between
the years 1885 and 1862, at about $4,000
During a single months absence II
1874 the gentleman in charge of the
business, although experienced in the
handling of paper money, took in SOU
all of the denomination of five dollars
and less. There were over l,6OO banks
in the country, and no two had the
same plates, so that counterfeiting was
easy and profitable. There were com
paratively few punishments, and the
State laws were not as rigidly enforced
as are the laws of the United States In
these dogs.
1t may safely be assumed that if Mr..
Fillmore lives to election day he will
not vote for the candidates of the party
that demands the repeal of the tax Oh
State bank notes, that the National
currency may be forced out of circula-
tion by the less reliable and less stable
notes of the State banks. The annoy
ance and loss which such change
would entail upon the people are past
all calculation. Only teose who have
experienced them can form any adequate
idea on the subject.
If there was no other question in the
National campaign than this it ought tc
result in the defeat of Mr.. Cleveland be-
cause, in his letter of acceptance, he
favors the use of State bank notes. He
assumes, of course, that whatever cur
rency is used it will be made perfectly
safe and reliable, but he knows as wei
as any man can know that perfect safety
and reliability can not be expected where
these qualities depend upon the actor
of forty-four different legislatures. The
only safety is to cling to the Nationa
system, to which the Republican party
is committed.

PERHAPS some of our readers would
like 10 know in what respect Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is better than any
other, We will tell you. When this
Remedy is taken as soon as cold has
been contracted, and before it has be-
come settled in the system, it will coun-
teract the effect of the cold and greatly
lessen it's severity, if not effeetually cure
the cold in two days time, and is the on
ly remedy that will do this. 1t acts in
perfect harmony with nature and aids
nature in relieving the lnngs, opening
the secretions, liluefying the mucus and
causing its expulsion from the air cell of
the lungs and restoring the system to a
strong and healthy condition. No other
remedy in the market possesses these re-
markable properties. No other will cure
cold so quickly or leave the system in
as sound a condition. For sale by Pat

These are few samples of reductions,
though the lowest price is not given.
For instance, tapestry carpets can be
bought for from As to 62I cents to day
which cost 81 yard in 1890. Ingram
carpets, which a few years since sold for
81 a yard, are now sold for from 52d to
571 cents a yard, and a good wool carpet
can be bought for 50 cents. All this is
the result of home competition under
the protective tariff, and the prices given
show that in not single instance has
the increased duty been an oppressive
tax.
A well-known Cleveland merchant
says that mems woolens, 6 wide, which
could not be bought in this market five
years ago for less than from 81 to $3.50
a yard, are now sold at from IS cents to
$3.50 yard. Five years ago most OF
these goods were imported from Eng
land, France, and Germany. To-day 7j
per cent. of them, at LEI st, are made ii
this country of clean AmericOn wool
Notwithstanding the fact that the Nc
Kinley law raised the duty on these
goods 10 per cent. they are selling to,
day in Cleveland for 10 per cent less
than before the passage of that law.
These are instructive lessons as to the
operations of the KcKinley law. Here
is another: Chenille curtains, which a
few years ago were imported from Ger
many and sold at from $40 to 1880 a
pair, are to-day made in Philadelphia
and sold at from $3.50 to S6 a pair, yet
the Mckinley law increased the duty on
chenille curtains from 40 per cent. ad
valorem to 60 per cent. ad valorem
What is true of carpets and woolens is
true of almost every article of domestic
consumption, and the people who buy
these things know better than anybody
can tell them how prices have been re
duced under the Mckinley law.
