HIS ACCEPTANCE.
President Harrison On the Tariff-TIn
Plate. Pearl Buttons and silver Mining.

President Harrison On the Tariff-TIn
Plate. Pearl buttons and silver Mining.
The only industries to which Mr. Har-
rison ventures to refer in his letter OF
acceptance are tin plate, pearl buttons
and silver mining. Despite his moder-
ate facts and immoderate predictions. the
president cannot conceal the fact that,
after the enormous tribute levied on
the American people by the Mckinley
tariff. tin plate is not produced in COM
mercial quantities in the United States,
and he prudently avoids the remotest
reference to the crushing weight of that
tribute. nor does he find il wise to refer
To the fact that the tax on silver-lead
ores. that SO excites his admiration. has
transferred a large part of the Ameri-
can smelling industry To Mexican soil.
He paws much attention to the merits
of reciprocity" under the Mckinley
bill. and introduces the subject
with g.udging compliment to
Mr. Blaine for pressing" what
he really invented Mr.. Harrison does
not perceive. or IL he does. he does not
acknowledge. that whatever reciprocity
has accomplished. be it much or little,
Is the effect of the partial adoption Of
freedom of commerce and the proper
tionate abandonment of the policy Of
tariff barriers to foreign trade. And
besides this radical avoidance Of the es-
sential fact as concerns the merits Of
the two policies, he again descends
to pettifogging by accusing the demo-
Gratis of wishing to deprive the people
of the benefits of reciprocity by repeal
ing the law containing the provision
for it. That is an argument for a rural
jury. selected by straining off all who
can read newspapers; il is not an argu-
ment for rational and self-respectinq
political leader To address to the great
jury Of his countrymen 1t is at once
an insult to them and disclosure Of
Mr. Harrison's caliber. y. Times.

Wales have free trade aud comparative
~ high wages; therefore-but these are
only exceptions which prove the rule
In the United States.
3. The duty on corn and the price Of
corn were higher i'm 1891 than in 1859;
cotton had no duty on it and the price
was lower in 1891 than 1859; therefore
protection increases the price Of farm
products
Duties on wool. pork and hay were
higher in 1891 than in 1889 and the prices
were lower; the duty on sugar was lower
in 1891 than in 1889 and the price was
lower: therefore-but these are few
more exceptions that only prove the
rule that protection is the farm
ers best friend and increases the prices
of what ne has to sell and decreases the
prices of what he has to buy.
5. France has protected home mar
kets and her farmers are prosperous;
England has free trade home markets
aud her farmers are not prosperous;
therefore protected home markets bring
prosperity to the farmer.
q. Italy United States, and Germany
have protected home markets and the
farmers are not prosperous; Australia
has no protected markets and her
farmers are prosperous; therefore-but
these are enough exceptions to prove
the rule that protected home markets
are the sole reliance Of the over pro-
ductive former.
8 But what is the use Of more demon
stration? Protection wouldn't protect
If il didn't bring prosperity and do all
that should be done Hence all our
blessings as good crops at high
prices. and plenty of work at high
wages-are the direct result of protec-
ton: and all our curses-such as mort
gagged and abandoned farms and little
work at low wages-are the result Of
shiftlessness and extravaganza on the
part Of farmers and improper distribu-
tion of labor-in no way due to proteo-
ton. which could not possibly do harm
to any one.

prevents competition in production and thus
