NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. MEANS BET
TER TIMES

Let it be- borne in mind that the cleo
ton o. a Democratic congress this fan
means "A renewal Of the tariff fight along
the lines already followed by the party
now IN power, for the further extension
of the FREQ list and the wipirg out Of all
protective duties This is the declared
intention Of the Democratic party as an.
nolmced by its recognized leaders. Pres
idcut Cleveland has so declared and so
has Prof. Chairman Wilson, and SO have
all the party leaders and party organs.
They have told us that the new tariff
law falls far short OF what they intended
II should be and that il is only the first
step toward the ultimate determination
OF protec ton in this country. II they
should succeed in electing the next house
OF representatives, they will say that the
people have Endorsed the first step taken
toward iroe trade andwill renew the fight
for moro oil it. Instead Of the tariff
question being settled, they emphntically
declare that II Democracy remains in
power in both houses OF congress il will
not be settled until all protection is
wiped out and free trade policy, similar
10 that Of Great Britain is established
in this country.
This is the condition that now con-
fronts the voters at the present time.
Do they want further tariff agitation
along the lines OF Tree trade? In the
light Of past experience, with all its bit
tcrncss and distress, do the American
people want Co see more mills and fac
tories shut down, more workmon forced
out Of employment, more business pros
tration all over the country
There is just one thing that can be
done now to put stop to further de-
structivc legislation. and that is to
make the next house Of representatives
Republican,. That will render harmless
the Democratic threat TO renew HOSTILE
ties against home Industries and home
labor This fact Is SO patent that the
leading trade reviews OF the country
recognize il in their financial reports
,radstrcct's last Saturday said that
among the chief influences governing
business was "the relief that the result
81 the coming election will be check fur
Their alteration OF the revenue laws,
which fact it is claimed will facilitate the
growth Of business confidence and
activity" This means that the election
Of "A Republican congress would prevent
further free trade legislation and help
business.
Dun a Company's trade review says:
Cotton below six cents and wheat below
Gity-hve cents Gin New York; each lower
than ever since present classiications
were known: exports OF gold instead OF
products at such prices in October, are
the salient features i'm business this
week" That is an interesting item.
Exports Of gold instead Of products"
The gold goes abroad TO pay importa-
tions, the products stay at home waiting
for buyers Foreign markets lively /;
home markets duh Foreign factories
opening NJ; home iactories closing down.
Tariff reform stimulant TO foreign
manufacturing; paralyzing TO home
manufacturing.
The election OF Republican congress,
says the Detroit Journal, will do more
TO restore public confidence in the future
than anything else that can possibly be
done this year. IL will put nm end TO
free trade legislation and send boarded
capital out again into labor employing
investments; put idle money into active
circulation aud make better times every
where in this country
