CLEvELANDISM RESPONSIBLE FOR
COXEYIsM

The Sentinel follows other Democratic
papers in charging that Coxeyism is the
result Of Republican policy. If the Demo-
cratic press were not in that state Of de-
moralization which. in an army in battle,
is the panic which eliminates in rout IL
would be silent on this subject. When
the Democratic calamity of a President
and both houses of Congress overlook
the Nation. the labor of the country was
so fully employed that men never thought
of such a thing as banding together to
go to Washington to demand an issue of
that fiat money which the Indiana De-
mocracy has so long favored Indeed, II
was not until June. after the election Of
Mr.. Cleveland. that the men who carry the
great industries of the country were per-
suaded that tariff revolution would be
undertaken by the Democratic Congress.
1t was not until the Cleveland organs and
the Wilson's. the MIllses, the Vests and
the Voorheeses declared a purpose to de-
stroy the protective tariff and change to
country took alarm. II not until man.
ufacturers found warehouses filling with
goods which Jobbers could not sell and re-
tailers were purchasing from hand to
mouth that factories were put upon half
time, or closed. and men who had been
working full time for years found them
selves idle on the street 1t was not until
jobbers found retailers buying driblets In
stead of large orders, and retailers found
their custom falling off 25 10 per cent
that distribution began to economize. and
travelling men and clerks were discharged
by hundreds.
These things are facts. Moreover the
common-sense people of the country know
that they are facts. The free souphouse
and Coxeyism are the legitimate fruits OF
that Democratic policy which has declared
that the markets which have given Ameri-
can labor full employment for years are
to be divided among other nations by the
Wilson bill. The remedy? Let Congress
drop it's Wilson bills and strengthen the
present laws which secure the best mar
kets in the world to American labor. Then
will factories mills and mines start up;
then will the channels of trade be again
filled with traffic, and then will every man
who prefersAaboring to tramping leave the
road for legitimate industry. In addition
TO this let Congress shut off the migra-
ton of cheap common labor from Europe
to this country.

to discontinue the fostering policy Of the

sHoRT-sIGHrED GENEROSITY.

Railroads which give free transportation
to Coxey recruits may thereby save them
selves from the temporary annoyances
which would follow refusal of the tramps
demands, but they are laying up for them
selves worse troubles in the future. These
gentry to whom they now grant conces-
sions, grown bolder by experience and con-
fdent of power, will next time not only
demand such transportation as their right,
as they do at present. but will manifest
their anarchist principles in a more forc-
BILE way. 1t is reported that the Vandalia
road will ship the men from Terre Haute
to this city free of charge. but if so. the
managers will live to repent the precedent
they establish Any who helps these
men in their foolish expedition on the
theory that the same conditions will not
be repeated is greatly mistaken. Just in
proportion to the success these gangs OF
adventurers have in getting themselves car
ried over the country and fed and clothed
at public expense will be the frequency
of such undertakings hereafter. Whoever
encourages them by gifts of food or cloth
ing, or by furnishing them cars, or by any
aid whatever, is simply abetting lawless-
ness and anarchy, and assumes a heavy
responsibility. Because these men are
peaceable, 1t does not follow that they will
remain so. or that those who initiate them
will be careful to observe moral and civil
regulations. Even now the leaders of the

fair sample of those who are now howl
ing at the Senate for not passing the Will
son bill offhand is an importer who breaks
into the Forum in an article on THE Dila-
tory Senate and Depression in Trade" The
writer is a man who came to this country
TO be an importer. All his interests are in
foreign trade. In no sense is he an Ameri-
can. He knows nothing of the American
people. He does know that If the Wilson
bill shall become law importing will be
a good business and the best business for
those who, under the perjury-inviting ad
valorem system, can swear to the greatest
falsehood regarding the value of the. goods
they bring hither to take the place of Amer
lean products. All the trade he knows of is
foreign trade, and so he declares that ma
tion's foreign trade is the measure of it's
prosperity, which is in no sense true. The
country whose people, by virtue of their
earnings, is able to purchase and consume
the larger part of it's products has the
greater measure OF prosperity, and not the
one like Great Britain. which this writer
cites. which sends its cotton and woolen
goods to other countries, while millions OF
its people are in rags.
Eight months ago these same importers
and their organs. who are now denouncing
the Senate because 1t does not enact the
Wilson bill ofhand. were declaring that
when the Sherman silver purchase act
should be repealed business would start up.
Manufacturers did rot expect anything Of
the sort. and sensible observers in the in
terror knew that the most the repeal would
do would be to restore the confidence OF
money owners and lead them 10 bring it
back to the banks. 1t did accomplish that.
