The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1892-05-09
THE NEWS TURN NOW.

lnL NtWO lUANNUII.
L'AnRleterre n cree son industrie manu-
facturiere sous le tariff protecteur 10 plus
rigoureux qui ait jamais existe.-LEs
perance
And not only rigorous protective
tariff, but a systematic repression OF the
industries of Ireland and OF the colonies
SO long as they were colonies. we got
out of that mess a century ago, ana shall
stay out, following Englands example.
We hone tn receive many visits from
those who are thoughtful enough TO pat,
ronize the "Temperance Printing once.
Independent Citizen.
Business is business, and reform is re-
form.
There is no occasion TO instruct our del
egttes to the Republican convention.
Rhode Island is for Blaine.--Etst Green
wich Pendulum.
Blaine, il he can be had, by all means.
Harrison an ideal candidate. Plenty OF
good men behind. No need OF instruc-
tions.
The Providence NEWS again shrieks
WAS 1t not a Republican who offered q
free site for the new mill in Pawtucket ~
-Pawtucket Tribune.
Oh, no the News never shrieks. No
one ever heard it shrek. But 1T was
Republican, wasn't it!
The Idaho Republicans are in favor OF
Blaine and free and unlimited silver
coinage This is the second Republican
| state convention that has declared en-
| phatically for free silver IL is nut for
some of our pretended honest money
Republicans to crack.-Newport Herald.
Two? All, very likely. But how
many Democratic conventions have de-
clared for free silver?
The policy of the Providence Journal
In ignoring its city contemporaries, is AS
| silly as il is unusual. On what has our
T Caesar fed that it's head is SO swelled!-
Olneyville Times.
We don't often have occasion to stand
up for the Journal, but it has good prece-
dent for ignoring the NEWS and other
papers, il it chooses to do so. The
Springfield Republican, never mentions
the Union, though the latter is twenty
years old and very strong. The Woon-
socket Reporter probably will not men,
tion the eau, and when the last Woon-
socket newspaper failed it did not even
mention its death. The Providence
NEWS, in its turn, has ceased to men,
tion that one of its esteemed city con-
temporaries which it has recently passed
in the race for circulation and advertis-
| ing. OF course it would be better for
both If j. and b. would quarrel amicably
with us. But we can't complain. There
is precedent.
The Methodist clergymen at Omaha
seem to have much better understand
ing of the Presidents error in signing the
Chinese Exclusion bill than OF the decent
and gentlemanly way of making their OBJ
Jections known.-Journal.
There you are again, insulting the
preachers. The NEWS doesn't believe
the Methodist delegates were either in
decent or ungentlemanly. They may
have been mistaken, but that's a differ
ent matter.
The workingmen of Rhode Island have
| had an opportunity afforded them by
| private enterprise TO select one OF their
number who is to be sent to Europe, free
| or expense, to study into the condition of
workingmen there and to compare their
wages and manner of living with the
wages and conditions of living of wage
earners in this country. In total vote
of lis, 800 in the state, Willard l. Lansing
the proposed investigation.-Wo Worcester
Spy.
Private enterprise Would it hurt
you to say whose enterprise?
The pork in the River and Harbor Ap-
preparation bill has heen too generally
aud shrewdly distributed to make it pos
sible to bring the rule of economy to bear
against it very fectively.-JournaL
Would it shock the Journal very
much il the NEWS We're to hint that in
stead Of spending less on rivers and har-
bors the Government ought to spend
more? Here are three things needed,
which would cost a lot of money the
Hennepin canal, deep water canal
from Chicago to the Atlantic, and an
inshore route from Maine to the Gulf of
Mexico, all three of which are partly
provided already by nature.
There's no use in talking. Westerly
must get hustle OH If she would prosper
something to give employment to labor;
something to attract people to come into
them. Westerly Tribune.
Dressing granite, e. ga splendid in
dustry when protected, as at present, by
a 40 per cent. tariff. Westerly and its
newspapers should work for the party
which supports the tariff, if the former
is to retain its citizens and the latter
their readers.
So it appears that while we groan about
excessive taxation we are better off than
the people of any other of the great coun-
tries.--A Democratic ex-Organ.
This is a pretty good reputation of the
calamity howls which are the Demo-
cratic stock in trade.
Fortunately no one would ever think of
setting up our American politicians as
the ripened fruit OF nineteen centuries of
Christian training; otherwise the follow
ers of Christ would just now contrast
