Nevertheless a good many people were

One of the best posted men on the
tariff question as well as one OF the
most representative leaders in indus
trial activity, is Cornelius y. Bliss of
New York, the president of the Am
erican Protective Tariff League. In
an interview III the Mail and Express,
November ;, Mr.. bliss said;
"protec.ion is, as it has been for
years, the corner stone of every re-
publican platform, and never was
there a time when the wage earners
had greater reason to look with favor
on protection than now, when the
. mere threat Of free-trade has closed
majority of the mills of the country
and almost cut the American weekly
pay roll in two. The republican party
today IS as sound and as unanimous
on that question as ever III its history
That, believe, no one doubts.
we face a menace far more serious,
in my opinion, than the silver law in
the possible action Of this congress on
the tariff. Not d single industry III
this country can escape it. Look over
the periods of tariff discussion in CON

also been periods Of business depres-
sion, if not Of disaster. Congress viii

1T IS not pleasant to dwell on the
real facts Of the depression that has
existed ever since it became certain
that democratic policies were to guide
the nation. Those who know them
understand that mills and factories
were closed not because of the silver
law, but in order to prevent overpro-
duction and an idle winter for the
working people. If they have to be
idle it IS best that they should be in
summer rather than winter. The
trade situation is 10: improving ma
terially, though, and it is not likely to
do so While this congress is mcddling

that schedule Of the Mckinley law,
the truth is that it gave impetus to
every American industry, confidence

Two Opinions.

The editor Of the Morning Leader, is
a recent convert to the Democratic
faith (for small salary and already
he presrtmes to give advice on Demo
cratic matters and to tell his suffering
readers why these things are thusly
Last week ne told rs that the Ohio
election went as it did because an Ohio
man was running for governor there
but that the 90 $50 majority of votes
given for GOV Mckinley, Indicated
nothing whatever of a political IA
ture"
Now Hon l. r Neal, who had tie
honor to be Mr. Mckinley's Democrat
ic opponent for governor, (also an OHIO
man, by the way does not seem to
agree with our very wise neighbor of
the Leader. y few days after his
nomination, MI Neal said
II regard the nomination Of Mr.. Nc
kinlev and myself rs declaration OF
the two political parties OF OHIO that
the tariff issue must be fought 10 FIN
j.h Political death TO Mckinley and
Mex lnleylsm, that IS the Issue. HE
president has declared that this issue
must be dealt with III the ng2r future,
and upon that declaration and rs
against the high priest OF high tariff
the voters Of Ohio are invited to Yer
dict. At the same time state issues
viii not be lost sight Of Tie dcmoc-
racv must work ont its own salvation
in this campaign. The Republican par
y cannot depend upon past maJorltica
to carry it through the contest, for
present conditions appeal directly 10
the intelligence and hard common
sense OF the laboring and industrial
classes.
We feel very sorry for Mr.. Neal f9i
making such an exhibit Of his ign0r-
ance as all this. The Leader man
should flax around little more lively
and give his Democratic leaders some
pointers as to the facts Of issues as
they arise. To have two such great
Democratic magnates 50 at variance
is surely disastrous as is clearly proven
by the result in Ohio last week.
