They were further assured that if the
protective tariff were repealed they
would continue to get as good wages as
ever while the cost of living would be
greatly reduced. These false arguments
were hammered into che w~orkingmen
until very many of them became embit-
tered. not only against capital in gen.
eral. but against their own employers,
and determined to teach them a lesson.
If they could lot get higher wages they
would at least cut down the profits of
their employers and reduce the cost of
living for themselves. If they could
not share in the benefits of protection
they would smash it. So they proceeded
TO saw off, between themselves and the
tree, the limb On which they were sit
ting.
The mistake made by these perhaps
honest, but certainly misguided, work.
ingmen was In s%upposiDg that a pro-
tective tariff did not protect them as
we'll as their employers. They were
awfully mistaken in s~upposing that their
WAGES "cI cHot iuCICdscO ny piotcCt1Oh
and would not be reduced if it were re-
pealed. Any intelligent employer could
have told them differently, and many
did do so, but they preferred to listen
to Democratic demaRogues and let
themselves be filed up with lies of the
kind above indicated. So they voted
for Cleveland, on a platform that de-
clared protection was robbery aud
promised the immediate repeal of the
Mckinley law. They carried the day,
and the result is before us-mills and
factories closing, thousands of men
thrown out of employ ment. hours cut
down and wages reduced, professions of
unemployed in the large cities. stagna-
ton and depression everywhere. And
this is merely the shadow of free trade,
not the reality.
WOrkingmen who helped by their
votes to bring about this state OF affairs,
n who are now out OF employment.
are entitled to sympathy in their mis-
fortune, but they cannot complain if
those who advised them to vote the
other way now remind them Of it.

WHOSE rs THE RESPONSIBILITY

tits impossible not to ~sympathize with
honest wOrkinRmen cut of employment
for any cause whatever. A man who is
willing to work. but who cannot get
employment, who is hungry himself and
perhaps has a wife and children hungry
at home. Is to be pitied without refer
ence to the cause Of his misfortune.
right feeling lie to try and help the I'M
employed one in getting employment,
or at least to wish him quick success in
his efforts to do SO.
But in the case OF many of those now
out Of employment there Is room for
other feeling besides sympathy. 1t
would be heartless to taunt them in
their misfortune, but, while wishing
them a speedy escape therefrom and re-
turn of better times. it is not untimely
mol Inappropriate to recall the fact that
many of them. perhaps a majority. voted
for the very conditions which now exist.
In this sense and to this extent they are
responsible. for their present lack
of employment. that they voted
for the conditions which have de-
prived them of work. 1t is a maxim of
law that every man is supposed to in
tend the natural and inevitable conse-
quences of his own acts. If he pulls the
trigger of u loaded gun he is supposed
to intend that it shall 60 off, and if he
puts arsenic in his neighbours food he is

is no excuse for the unemployed to say
that they did not intend, by their votes
for Grover Cleveland, last fall, to cut
off their own employment and take the
bread out of their wives and chill
dren's mouths. They were sufficiently
warned and might have known. If it is
true, as the Journal bsiieves, that the
present depression among q large class
of industries is owing to uncertainty
and apprehension az to the action Of
Congress on the tariff question and to
the prevalent belief that there will be a
general attack on protected industries.
then every person who voted for Mr..
Cleveland is. to the extent, at least, of
q vote, responsible for throwing many
thousands of persons out of employ
ment.
The mistake made by thousands of
honest but misguided voters was In sup
posing that they could hurt their en-
ployers without hurting themselves. AS
w~age-earners they were doing we'll
better than they ever had before and
better than the -wage-earners of any
other country-but they were not salts
fed. They were told and were too
ready to believe that they were not get
ting their share of the wealth which
their protected employers were accumu-
lating. They were assured that the
protective tariff Injured only to the ben
eft of the manufacturer-that it put big
money into the pockets of their employ
ers without adding o cent to their wages.

SENATOR Voorhees, SPEECH.

There is no installing the motive of
Senator Voorhees, speech on the silver
question. We call it a speech on the
silver question merely to designate it.
but it scattered SO as Il embrace many
other topics, all of which were treated
in the regulation Vo0rheesian style. No
person at all familiar with Mr.. VOor-
question and his political methods can
read the speech without seeing chat it
was intended to carry out his contract
with Mr.. Cleveland to vote for the re-
peal of the silver-purchase clause of the
Sherman law without committing him
to any other sound measure of finance.
There is this to be said for Mr.. VOor-
hees: he is true to bis friends and stands
by his political bargains. When he
went into the market and gave Mr..
Cleveland to understand that he was
for sale on the silver question. he
meant what he said, and when, after
the President had loaded him down
with offices, he promised to vote for the
- "Ao
filed with gratitude and intended to
keep his promise. 1t was like him,
therefore. openly to declare. as he did
some time ago, that he would vote for
the unconditional repeal of the silver
purchase clause. Having got his price
and promised to do it, he would not go
back ON his word. But those who in
ferred from this declaration that Mr..
Voorhees, had been converted to sound
views on the financial question In gen.
eral were very hasty in their conclusion.
A man who has been fundamentally
wrong for as many years and in as
ways as Senator Voorhees, has is not so
suddenly soundly converted. In fact,
the chances are he never will be sound
~ converted. Mr.. Voorhees, speech on
Tuesday shows that with the single ex-
ceptiOn of voting for the repeal of the
silver-purchase clause he is as unsound
on financial questions as he always has
been. There is scarcely a wild vaeary
or q dangerous scheme extant that he
does not indorse OF show a Willingness
to indOrse. Currency Initiation, fiat
money, free silver coinage, removal of
the tax on State banks. cheap money of
all kinds-he is in favor Of one and all.
OF course. Mr.. Voorhees, speech will
carry no weight in or u of the Senate.
His vote for repeal of the silver-pur-
chaes clause will be counted and his
views will be discounted. People will
say In one breath, Voorhees, did the
square thing in voting as he told CIeve-
land he would" and in the next they
will say, "It is a thousand pities that 80
dangerous a d~emagogue should be chair
man of the Senate committee on finance"

been doing. without fear of the conse-

counts largely for the attacks upon that
