WHAT THE TARIFF HAssDoNE.

By the census of 1890 the United
States had seven cities of over 400, 900
inhabitants, 2s of over 900 and 1874
of over $4,000. BY the State censuses
and estimates of 1892 there are in the
United States cities of over 1000, 900
inhabitants each. No other country has
such record. London surpasses New
York, but Liverpool, Manchester and
Birmingham are away below Chicago,
Brooklyn and Philadelphia. Paris is a
great city, but the manufacturing and
maritime towns of France-Lyons, Mar
settles and Havre-cannot compare with
our own. Crefeld and Cologne and
Hamburg would not be first-class cities
in this country, although these and
other towns have grown very rapidly,
like Berlin itself, under the German
policy Of protection.
Thus we see that, while three or four
European countries have capitals as
large as our metropolis and chief port. or
larger, there is no nation where popula-
ton is so well distributed and where
minor cities at widely separated points
have attained so big a growth. We at
tribute this phenomenon, remarkable in
new country, wholly OF largely TO the
eHect of the protective tariff epeft iift,l-s'
try. Under free trade, New York ant
Chicago might have attained nearly o.
quite their present importance as iin
pcrting centres Of European goods an
exporting points for American grain
Bat the manufacturing cities-Philadc
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1892-03-05

phia, Brooklyn, Providence, Pittsburg,
Lowell, Springfield and others might
easily--would probably-have played
second fiddle respectively to Baltimore,
Salem and Sag Harbor.
The lesson Of the value of tariff pol
icy is further enforced by brief study
of the distribution Of these towns. Ac-
cording to the new census, 90 of the 124
cities Of over $4,000 inhabitants are in
the North Atlantic division, and 80 in
the North Central. The South Atlantic
division, including Delaware and Mary
land, has only 10, while the much newer
Southern Central division, where Chat
tanooga, Birmingham and Knoxville de-
veloped at fabulous rate as manufac-
turing and mining centres, has 13. The
vast newest West of the Pacific coast
and the Rockies is only one behind the
South Atlantic division.
Does anyone believe that the country
could have developed at this marvellous
rate if it had been compelled by free
trade TO remain a purely agricultural
country, or largely so?

Ever since the NEWS sensational advent
upon the streets of Providence with the
offer of big prizes in gold TO the newsboys,

AHetA fine lot of prizes was distributed
about January 9Th or 9th, and to-day the
prizes for the biggest sales in February

been so arranged that, while the biggist
sales commanded the larger prizes, al

all there, from the big, tall boys with in

The blizzard this week has been hard on

quarters with the exception of a few bar

THE TICKET.

Much interest has been manifested,
throughout the State, in the series of
"gubernatorial Possibilities" which the
NEWS has been publishing and it has
been universally agreed that the Repub-
lican party is so rich in available mater
ial that we never could get to the end OF
the list of bright, energetic, brainy men
amply qualified to fill the chief execu-
tive's office.
The name of d. Russell Brown OF
Providence, when suggested by the
News as probability rather than pos
silility, was greeted with enthusiasm in
all parts of the State, aud at this writing
he seems the most likely candidate for
Governor. The News would regard
Mr.. Browns nomination with much sat
isfaction, for he is as strong outside of
Providence as in this city, and would
run well in every part of the State. Not
too old for energy and not too young to
possess the ripest Judgment, a success
ful business man and an ardent Repub-
iieatt, Mr.. Brown is IN ideaf cuntidate.
If the first place on the ticket goes to
a Providence man, expediency and JUS
tice alike suggest that nominee for the
second place on the ticket be chosen
from the extreme southern or northern
end of the State, from Newport or its
vicinity, or from Woonsocket, in both of
which localities SO much discomfort
exists with Democratic management
that big Republican gains are conf
IDENTIFY to be expected by the nomination
of a popular man. The name of Hon.
Melville Bull has been suggested as that
of a man highly worthy to be placed on
the ticket.
Brown and Bull, representing the two
great industries of the State, manufac-
turing and agriculture, and meeting all
the geographical requirements of the sit
uation, would make splendid ''starter"
for State ticket.

The New York World wants to know
what's the matter with Rhode Island.
I" Formerly" it says. "a mere borough
for Republican millionaires, it has be-
come tolerably sure Democratic State. }"
This sounds like sensational news for
Little Rhody, and fearful apparently of
the possible effects Of springing it sud-
denly upon an innocent and unsuspect-
ing commonwealth, the World merci-
fully waters its strong statement little !:
with an acceptable national candidate
and platform, supplemented with unity
and hard work, the Rhode Island Demo
Gratis are confident they can secure the
electoral vote of the State"
"With hard work; yes, it would be most
tremendously hard; and with unity"
it's clear the World has no Rhode ISL
anders on its staff, else would have died
a narrowing death, i'll copy or in type, SO
wild suggestion as that of unity
among the Democracy OF these planta-
tions.
Sat the convention on Wednesday a
strong State ticket was nominated and
an explicit and honest Democratic plat
form was adopted" The World is big
and rich and enterprising, and it has
done its party yeomans service this
winter in showing up the charla-
tanry of Hill; but it should keep
its presses clear of subjects on
which it is not informed. Ask Honey

vention if he ever saw tomahawks

feated this spring, and they won't re-
trive their fortunes come autumn. Little

pass something quite as vicious as the
Bland bill.
If the Democracy of the Bay State
think this is honest politics, well and
good, il is TO their own cons ciences they
answer; but G. Fred, il he were older,
would at least give the Republican party
credit for more sagacity. On a square
vote the Republicans of the House, with
very few exceptions, are against the sill
yer bill But they will not assist, and
no sane man Of average intelligence could
reasonably expect them to assist in
Messrs. Williams, Andrew, ONeil and
Co.'S pretty scheme for its postponement
until after Boies, for example, has run
his little race with shut mouth but a
quiet understanding with the silver peo-
pie.
1t is good politics, as it is good patriot
SIN, on the part of the Republicans III
the House to force the Democratic party
TO place itself on record as in favor of
free silver. Let the question come to
front and be decided on its merits. Re-
pubicans have no cause to hesitate to
let the country see where and how they
stand. So far from voting with George
Freddie against the resolution to take up
the Silver bill on March %, Republicans
have every motive to reach as soon as
possible ballot on free coinage. 1t will
put stop to most unhealthy disturb
aHee of the pulse of the country1-for If
it reaches the White House it will get
its quietus from Harrison-and it will
force the opposition into most disad-
vantageous position.
The only terms on which an alliance
between the Republicans and the sound
money Democrats could be considered
in the present juncture would include a
guarantee that the silver bill, If post
poned this time, should not be brought
forward again during the present Con-
gress. Being in woefully small mi
nority c. Fred can offer no such pledge,
and it would be arrant folly to treat
with him.
The passage of the Catchings resolu-
tion is in every way desirable.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1892-03-05
WHERE REPUBLICANS STAND.

There seems TO be no reasonable doubt
that /" Shoestring" Catching's resolution
setting day for the silver bill will be
adopted by the House on Monday. The
NEWS leased wire dispatches indicate
that urgent whips have been sent both
by silver men and anti-silver men to
bring in the absentees. There will be n
full showing of Democrats of both
stripes and of Republicans. Rep
resentative q. Fred Williams of
Massachusetts, is massing his forces
TO the best advantage, but in spite
of his best efforts he is constrained to
admit that his only hope of obtaining a
postponement lies in the votes of Repub-
hcans. His cajoleries are lavished upon
them daily and hourly, and the Demo
cratic and Mugwump press of New Eng
land alternately wheedles the guards and
shells the citadel in its attempts to con-
strain a surrender.
1t is hard TO credit so fatuous a conf
dence in human asininity as George
Freddie's tactics disclose. If the guile
ful but innocent youth from the Bay
State-the two adjectives do not object
to each others company, though it may
so appear--were first and before all other
