McKinlex ON rarifr Change..

Every reduction Of the tariff will be
followed by a reduction of wages.
Every cut in the tariff rates will be fol-
lowed by cut in the wage rates. The
proposed tariff legislation is an unerring
blow at labor, which will be instantly
felt in the home of every operative in
the United States. The friends of pro-
lection should not now falter. The fight
is only begun. If temporarily lost, it is
not to be given up. Courage was never
more needed and never more expected
by the people from their representatives
than now. 1t is the demand of the
hour and the requirement of the situa-
ton. The tinkerers of the tariff should
be thwarted. They should be opposed
at every step in their programme of de-
struction. Republicans and Democrats
who believe in the protective system, in
congress and out of congress, should
stand together in resisting every effort
to weaken or destroy it. If it is at last
to be accomplished, let none OF. the re-
sponsibility rest upon us. In time
like the present, with idle men and idle
mills, platforms to the rear and theories
to the winds, the voice of Aartisanship
should have no voice in Our councils;
the voice of patriotism alone should be
heard. Let there be no yielding of prin-
ciples; no compromise which shall de-
spoil our workshops and degrade our la

The "Object Lesson" Proposed Would I'm
tail Too Much Misery.
The free trade members of the ways
aud means committee have now COM
pleted tLeir work. There Is feeling
and disposition on the part of some
manufacturers who favor protection,
and who have become so Disguised with
the efforts Of the present free trade
party, to overthrow and revolutionize the
industrial and commercial progress OF
the United Statesmen to oppose what
ever changes in the Mckinley tariff may
now be offered by the party in power.
The idea of these gentlemen is to let the
free traders have full swing, that the
people of the United States may learn
to its full extent how disastrous the free
trade policy would be to the country,
and that the ''object lesson" might be
the greater. This, they think, would
so effectually kill all advocacy of the
free trade theory that the industrial
progress of the United States would
then become permanently established
under protective policy.
Such reasoning is wrong. The men
who advocate 1T do not stop to consider
what the effect would be-. The Ameri-
can Economist has shown that the mere
fear of free trade has cost loss of $5,-
900, 900, 900 to business and labor since
the present administration assumed
Office. What, then, would be the result
of its permanent establishment and en-
forcement? The importation of hun
dreds of millions of dollars worth of for
eign goods annually to take the place of
goods that have recently, under protec-
ton, been manufactured in American
mills by American workingmen will
involve such an enormous loss in money
circulation, such terrible waste of
American labor, such vast amount of
distress among the poor classes of our
people, thai its effect is too terribly as
founding to contemplate. A policy of
passive submission to the present adj
ministration's free trade recommends
ton would be far too high price for
the American people and the American
nation to pay.-American Economist. Z

The New Tariff.

The new tariff presented to the coun-
try by the Democratic party is COM
posite measure, and not in accordance
with the tariff plank of the Democratic
platform of tariff for revenue only
that was agreed to at Chicago. The
free trade party was elected into power
upon its pledge of giving the country a
tariff for revenue only. They have Sc
cured the votes of the people under false
pretenses. Once elected to Office, and
now in power, they have failed to re-
deem their pledge. The new tariff, as
proposed, will not supply sufficient rev.
enue for the needs of government, but
will diminish revenues by nearly $780,
900, 900 annually, and this, too, at a
time when the treasury is depleted and
the government must have recourse to
temporary measures for supplying funds
to pay its daily debts. There was no
such need of this under Republican adj
ministration, which reduced the annual
debt by millions and millions of dol
lars. Directly the Democratic party
gets its fingers upon the finances Of the
country, however, the expenditures ex-
coed the income and the debt increases,
30 that new issue of bonds may have
to be made, or money must be borrow
ed, in anticipation Of its being earned,
upon the security Of government notes,
treasury bills, or o Us, or whatever
else they like to call them.
