Production Is mol necessarily an evi.
dence of consumption, but it cannot
be doubted that the United States,
which produces nearly one third Of
the entire amount, consumes in the
same proportion. There is 10 other
country in which there are so many
miles of railway or so much working
machinery. With our rich soil, extra
ordinary Datural resources and already
great and constantly growing popnia
ton, our use of iron and steel must
continue TO grow enormously for a
long time. Fortunately our native
wealth of iron and coal is practically
lnexhaustlble.

CANADA knows by this time that
when the president threatened to
retaliate> for the unjust discrim-
ination against American vessels
using Canadian water ways. he
he was not making a "bluff." but
was giving a friendly warming
Congress has, practically without
opposition in either house or SEN
ate, passed the bill authorizing the
president to retaliate upon Cana
dian vessels by levying toll or by
shutting them out of st. Marys
Fall Canal, as he may deem best.
The new law is harsh one, or il
may be made such in its bearings
upon Canadian interests; but it is
still in the power of Canada to
take such action as will prevent
the President exercising the
authority just conferred upon him.

A WELL-INFoRMED business man
of Western Pennsylvania writes to
the New York Tribune: ''Business
has taken me to England many
times from 1880 to date. I OBJ
served that laany things supposed
to cost more in America than else
where because of the protective
tariff are really as cheap here as in
England. Notably, carpenters
tools, farming tools and builders
hardware. To satisfy myself l
brought with me last month a lot
, of samples bought at three differ
ent hardware stores in a town Of
$4,000 in an agricultural district.
On comparison | find that in farm
ing tools American prices are
about the same for better goods,
in builders hardware lower price
for better goods, and in
carpenters tools, where possible
to compare them American prices
are not higher than the English" "
Th at is the kind of evidence which
convinces voters of the utility of
protection. The home Industries
flourish and offer diversified en-
ployment to population that
needs it. The prices of carpenters
tools, building hardware and farm
ing implements are often lower
here than they are abroad, and
never higher. The producer has
the trade Of the home market, and
the consumer has the benefit Of
the low prices. Nobody is taxed
and there is work for American
workmen, That is the outcome
of what the democracy condemns
as ''a system of public robbery
and jobbery."

The craze which an epidemic
often starts is one of the curios-
tiles of mental energy. Let a dis
ease become general, and means
be taken to prevent its spread,
and a popular feeling Of opposition
is aroused which develops into pos
tive enmity for the officials who
are striving to preserve the public
health. This is seen in smallpox
leases and when diphtheria is prev
alent. when attempts to isolate the
stricken patients are resisted some
times to the extent of bloodshed
and murder. The cholera is at
the present time quite prevalent in
Russia, and in one city the infuri-
ated people rose against the doc
tors and nurses, killing them with
out mercy, releasing the patients
and destroying the hospitals. The
people appear to have gone clean
crazy with the excitement of
the situation and have been
guilty of horrible atroc-
tiles. 1t can easily be believ-
ed when one considers how excit-
able the people are, and how IN
more enlightened districts this
same phase of mental alteration
affects people. When these waves
of excitement are rolling in, moth
ing can be done but allow them
to subside and for reason to re-
sumo its sway. Then, and only
then, may steps be taken to over
come the disease. The condition
of the people where this insanity
prevails is indeed deplorable.

In an article in the May Forum
Edward Atkinson says: "There
never has been period in the his
tory of this or any other country
when the general rate of wages
was as high it is now, Or the prices
of goods relatively to the wages
as low they are to-day, or a period
when workman, in the the strict
sense of the word, has SO fully Sc
cured to his own use and enjoy
ment such steadily and progress
sively increasing proportion of a
constantly increasing product.
That is the way the tariff works.

The governor of Oregon receives
$500 per year salary. No one
thinks of him as being a poor
down-trodden laborer who is op-
pressed by the iniquitous Mckinley
law, and yet there is not one ot
the 325 men whose wages were
reduced by the Carnegie company
who was not receiving a third
more salary than the governor OF
Oregon and some of then were re-
ceiying more than three times as
much. The barons of labor in this
instance seem to outnumber the
.sbarons of capital" There may
be instances where labor is down
trodden, even in our own country,
but tllisis certainly not good illus
tkation of that condition of affairs.

Tue people of the drouth- affiict-
ed districts of Texas are calling
for assistance through Governor
Brown, who declares that famine
will be inevitable unless relief be
received. Of course it is prosaic
and unromantic to send relief to
our own countrymen. 1t appeals
more strongly to the dramatic in
human nature to dispatch steam
er across the ocean, previously
blessed by posturing preacher, to
be received at its destination with
salvos Of artillery, banquets and
gifts of silver and gold; but while
doing this we should not forget the
plain, practical charity at home.
Calamity has been rife in America
this year, and has not received the
attention it deserves. Our own
countrymen have been neglected
in their distress while relief has
been sent to foreign land. The
governors OF several states have ap-
pealed for aid, the last appeal
coming from Texas. No notoriety
nor silver presents await the one
who works to send aid to the
famine threatened people ofsouth-
western Texas, but such stimulus
should not be needed.

DEMOCRATS have been arguing
that the product of the Homestead
mills is protected, and therefore
protection is responsible for the riot
and bloodshed there. There is free
trade in the product Of silver
mines. Therefore free trade is re-

among the silver miners of Idaho
according to the arguments of the

Il BAD YEA Il.
All the evidence at hand show


All the evidence at hand shows
this is going to be a bad, sad year
for the calamity prophets of both
parties. Their occupation is gone
and there will de nothing for them
to do in the campaign but to pre-
serve a decent silence OIL bewail
the country's universal and exas-
perating prosperity.
There is simply nothing for them
to grumble about. The business
of the country is in provokingly
healthy and flourishing condition.
Imports during the fiscal yearend-
ing June 80 were greater than
those of any former year, amount
ing to s33,OO0,oOO, while exports
also exceeded the highest record
and reached the enormous aggre-
gate of $1,O27, 100000. Railroad
earnings for the first six months
of the year are greater then those
for any similar period in history.
and the output of manufactures
has been greater than ever before.
Business failures for the first half
of the present year have been
1000 fewer in number and SAC, 900
900, less in gross liabilities than
they were during the correspond
ing period of 1891. New indus
trial enterprises for manufacturing
iron, cotton and woolen fabrics are
going into operation in various sec
tions, and while the margin of
profits is small business is on a
solid foundation, and the outlook
in every direction is hopeful and
encouraging. The grain crop is
promising, money is abundant and
collections are easier.
In the face of such a condition
of things the calamity howler
must remain silent. His bowling
will scare nobody, not even him
self, for he is too smart not
to realize that the coun-
try is in a marvelously
prosper Gus condition, and likely
to continue so, no matter which
party wins in November. No
party can undo the work of nature
in the harvest fields or destroy the
splendid accumulations Of enter
prise and business sagacity. The
country is so large and parties are
so small as compared with the
influence Of the commercial insti-
tutions of the nation that the sue
cess Of this party or the defeat
of that one can no longer be re-
garded as disaster, or threat of
disaster, to national prosperi ty.
The country is all right, and if any
thing is wrong it is one party or
the other, or both.
A campaign free from gloomy
forebodings and solemn warnings
will be a refreshing change from
the contests of former years. 1t
will be a spirited, reasonable,
cheerful struggle between men
who are sensible enough and pa
triotic enough to acknowledge that
the country will not go to ruin in
any event, and that her destinies,
institutions and manifold interests
will be just as jealousy guarded
by one party as by the other.
The pessimist, accustomed to
admonishing us that things will go
to smash unless their particular
party wins, will not be heard in
the campaign. They can find
nothing in the present condition
Of the country to justify or
excuse the smallest calamity
howl. They can't shout against
prosperity, and their
silence will be one
of the pleasantest and most
eloquent features of the campaign
now about to open.-N. Y Herald.

1LL FOR PROTECTION.

Wherever there has been re-
publican convention this year,
there has been an unanimous
voice for protection. In every
county, in every state, and in the
great national assembly of the
party the same unity of sentiment
was shown. In each then the tariff
was made the central plank of the
platform, and the words s:Protec-
ton" and ''Reciprocity'' were
written in letters of living
light. Reciprocity rests upon pro-
lection and is dependent upon it.
With free trade there could be no
reciprocity. Protection, therefore,
is the main support of the COM
mercial policy of the republican
party, and the unanimity with
which it has been everywhere
supported is impressive in the
manifestation of popular harmony.
1t is not without good cause that
this harmony prevails. Protection
has filled the country with mills
and forges and factories, has
opened mines and built railways.
has created towns and cities out
of the soils of prairies and out o1
the turf Of woodlands; it has
brought the republic, in less than
half a century. from the condition
Of that Of the poorest to that of the
richest of civilized nations. In
the brief interval when free trade
or anti-protection, legislation has
been in force, panic has swept the
country and, want has sat beside
the scanty fires of wage earning
house-hoiders. But whenever
protection has been dominant
work has been PLENTIFUL wages
satisfactory, wealth more equita-
bly, diffused than in other coun-
tries, and prosperity has been uni
versal. The evidences of the
benefits of protection are around
us on every side. We can see
them abroad by contrasting the
poorly paid English laborer with
the well-to-do American working
man. We can see them at home
by contrasting. the condition OF
those states where there is no
diversity of industry and where
the people rely on low wages for
home work and import all their
manufactured products; with those
Olner states Wnefo the industries
are diversified, wages are high
and all classes of the people pros
porous. The prosperous states
are republican states. They are
for protection. 1t is with gratifi-
cation that we can include our
state among them. Our people
know what protection has done for
them, and knowing it they will
join the grand multitude of Amer
leans whose harmonious, senti-
ments have been expressed in the
national platform of the republi-
can party.-San Jose Mercury.
