ing by a strap from beam in the, cell

The People Cannot BE Terrorixed to Aban.
don 1t by HOwls Over Money Panic.
On one point the desperate advocates
of monopoly taxes should be better ad-
vised. No amount Of depression in val
ues from money panic, as Phila-
delphia contemporary points out, can re-
wise the overwhelming Judgment of the
nation against the Mckinley tariff. It
is odious as it is oppressive, and it has
largely contributed to the present busi-
ness distress by needless taxes on the
necessaries of business and Of life and
by the overprodhction its enormous taxes
for the benefit of small classes inspired.
On this distinct issue the policy of the
Mckinley tariff was rejected by 800, ,00o
majority in 1892.
The more than million Of Populist
votes, cast chiefly in Republican states,
proclaimed opposition to the Mckinley
tariff policy as vital feature Of Their
faith, and Cleveland's nearly 500, 900 plu.
rality over Harrison emphasized the pur.
pose of the nation to end all monopoly
taxes Of the masses under the false pre-
text of protection to labor.
The Mckinley tariff policy has beer
rejected by the people with earnestness
and emphasis equal to the earnestness
and emphasis of the national verdict
against slave domination in 1850. The
assumption that the people can be ter
rerized to abandon tariff reform by par
tisan howls of disappointed monopoly
taxgatherers over money panic is sim
ply unmixed insanity.
The blatant free trader is today no
half so dangerous foe of protected
industry as is the monopoly insanit,
that welcomes business distress from
causes which are visible and remedia

Get Out Of the Mirei

The only just thing and the only safe
thing to do is to dig out the whole sys-
tenn of protective favoritism by the roots
and frame tariff, in fact as well as in
name, for revenue only. That will harm
no important industry-not one that de-
serves to survive. So far from that, it
will lift burdens from some of our great.
est industries, now supposed to be pro-
tected, and infuse new life into them by
enlarging the market at home and open
ing for them new markets abroad. What
is more and better, it will place every
industry on its own legs, make it indie
pendent of legislative props and put an
end to the fears which attend every elec.
ton Of congressman and to fully half Of
