DEMOCRATIC PROTECTIONISTS.
Convincing Evidence in Favor OF High
Tariff.

Convincing Evidence In Favor OF u High
Tariff.
Congressman Wilson, the chairman
of the ways and means committee, is Il
West Virginia democrat and tree
trader. At the tariff hearing of his
committee he was confronted by the
democratic governor of his state, Mr..
McCorkle, who, though he was elected
on tariff reform platform, appeared
as the earnest advocate of protection to
the coal interests of West Virginia.
Gov. McCorkle said that every man,
woman and child in West Virginia de-
manded protection for West Virginia
products from injurious foreign compe-
tition.
Ex-senator Davis. from the same
state, reminded Chairman Wilson that
in six counties in Mr.. Wilson's con-
gressional district there was popula-
tion of seventeen thousand persons de-
pendent upon the production Of coal
for living, and all favorable to the
continuance of a protective tariff. Mr..
Reed, of Maine, ventured to ask the
democratic governor of West Virginia
what he thought about the tariff on
New England's manufacturing inter
ests, and received reply which must be
entirely satisfactory to every friend of
repu blican protection Gov. McCorkle
said: II suppose the New England peo-
pie know better than anybody else
how high tariff is necessary. think
l would be willing to take their word
on that subject"
During the discussion ex- Senator
Davis declared that the duty on coal
ought TO be higher than it is. He said
West Virginia has a greater coal bear
ing area than any other state in the
union; that four years ago the Elk
horn valley was wilderness, while to-
day it has population Of thirty thou
sand largely employed in making coke.
He said the miners are trembling with
fear because of the tariff agitation.
Senator Davis implored the manufac-
turers of New England to stand by the
people of West Virginia in their de-
mand for a continuance of a protec-
tive tariff, more especially because
syndicate of eastern capitalists had re-
Gently obtained control of Nova Scotia
coal mines, and were seeking by the
aid of a reduced tariff to enter into
competition for our home market
1t is not a little surprising that,
knowing these facts last November,
the people of West Virginia voted for
a candidate who ran on platform
which favored the destruction of the pro-
tective tariff as an ''unconstitutional"
creation. The most urgent appeals
for the continuance of a protective
tariff that have been made before the
ways and means committee during the
past few days have come from demo-
Gratis whose democracy has been un-

PROTECTION TESTIMONY.
Facts Brought Out Before the Ways and
Means Com mittee.

w
Means Committee.
The tariff hearings before the ways
and means committee of the house
have come to an end without showing
that the country has the slightest
yearning for that great reform"
which is said to have been demanded
by the verdict of last November. A
large majority of the gentlemen who
appeared before the committee argued
for retention, not an abolition, of du-
ties, and, what is more, they had the
figures to show that their arguments
were just and reasonable. 1t is anus
ing to note that one of them is the pro-
prietor of democratic newspaper in
Cleveland which has been preaching
free trade. This demonstrates how far
a man may be carried by a party cry
and how little sincerity there is in the
propaganda Whatever the Cleveland
er's views may be on the general sub
ject of protection, he is most emphatic
in declaring that the duties on lead
ores should be retained. His paper has
probably often made sport of the pro-
test against the ''pauper labor of Eu-
rope" but this does not prevent him
from deprecating competition with the
''peon labor Of Mexico
The hearings have strengthened the
cause of protection as in the nature OF

things they were bound to. There has
never been any testimony on the other
side. In lieu of it we have had essays
bv dogmatic doctrinaires, some Of
whom are drawing salaries in colle-
giate institutions where they live an al
most complete isolation from the
world, while others have taken to poll
tics and spouted from the stump. The
former know almost nothing of the
struggle for life except what they read
in their free trade books, and would
sacrifice flesh and blood to statistics
which prove nothing. The latter are
more calculating but quite as innocent
of any knowledge of business. They
are both great at pamphlet making,
but their ex parte statements are soon
riddled under the questioning of such
men as Reed and other republican
leaders.
The testimony being in, the commit
tee will now proceed to formulate
bill without the least regard for any
thing that has been said. The chair
man is himself one of the doctrinaires,
an ex-professor, able Of his kind, but
saturated with the errors of his school
Still it is doubtful il any very radical
measure will pass congress Too many
great business interests would be in
juriously affected thereby. Any bill
will be largely amended, for the poll
tlcians dare not destroy these interests.
and besides that they know well enough
that reduction of tariff means reduc-
ton of revenue which is an impossible

burglar, now reformed, delivered a leo
ture on his life and misdeeds in St.

Philadelphia, Sunday afternoon. The
church was crowded to suffocation by
those eager to see and hear the man
who is reputed to have stolen in his
time over S2,OOO,OOO worth of property,
and who has served at least % years of
his life in prison. He said that when
he was boy of gears his mother, on
her death bed, called him to her side
and asked him to be a good boy. He
promised her that he would. This was
IN Troy, n. Y, where he was born in
1910. Seven weeks later, he said, his
father turned him out of the house and
man took him and taught him to steal.
This was the commencement of his ca
reer in crime. He had, he said, COM
mitted many rObberies which none but
himself and his victims ever knew of
and some had been attributed to him
which he never did commit. He is now
member on probation of the Norris
Square NJ. E. church at Hancock and
