THE SYSTEM.

During the silver debate Hon. Charles
s. Hartman, Of Montana, made speech
There were several interesting passages
in that speech, for these Western men
have a way Of talking right out IN meet
ing, which is candid, at least. Among
other things he intimated plainly that
the Republicans Of his state would not
remain protectionists II the Republican
party opposed their demands 10 regard
to silver. Threats usually are vain. In
politics they are often made for effect
not for warning. But the Western
Republicans have shown a disposition TO
enforce their threats. In this case
their attitude is logical and just
it IS that Of protectionism.
They insist that the price OF their pro
duct shall be maintained-protected-
They plead also for the American
workingmen" in the mines and that the
silver industry shall not be destroyed. "
Commenting on their attitude the New
York Sun says;
II Massachusetts, should demand that
the United States should buy so many
thousand cases Of its shoes every
year; II Texas should demand that the
United States should buy so
many thousand bales Of cotton,
the case would be parallel
to the demand now made by the silver
states For the benefit Of a speciai
class, the mine owners and miners, the
whole United States must be taxed
This is an interior form Of that robbery Of
the great majority Of the American
people for the benefit OF the few, which
the Democratic platform denounced
Mr. Hartman, as a profectionist, Is
justified iu finding the Republicans In
consistent in not supporting the silver
protectionists; and a Democrat who
supports them is more inconsistent
Fav0ritism and class legislation are Re
publican, not Democratic.
In voting down the silver purchase
protection the Republicans have
driven nail into the coffin
Of their pet fsllscy. If it is right
to protect coal, iron, salt, tin. copper,
marble, maple sugar and hens eggs why
Is It not right TO protect TIE silver indus
try and the American worlxingmen" in
Colorado2 Possibly It is still, silent
question from the inner consciousness OF
an intelligent man such as that which
provokes the Philadelphia Telegraph to
say:
It is undeniable that the protective
system has not worked equitably It's
benefits have been lopsided to a most un.
happy degree This is not because the
system itself Is not founded in human
/ justice and national wisdom, but It is OF
account of the selhshness of mankind
That is all that was the matter with
the various monarchical government
from which our forefather's fed; with
the monopolies which Elizabeth was
forced to repeal. That is all that i,
the matter with the Cars government
human slavery, even, was beautiful
institution in this country, but fol
selfshness Ire system was all right
10 protected the slaves.
