When the toiler In idleness, hunger and want
Tries to borrow dime from his hungrier
neighbor,

IMPORTERS OF FOREIGN GOODS.
They Hold n Meeting at New York to Urge
"a Speedy Passage" Of the Wilson Bill.


ga Speedy Passage" OF the Wilson Bill.
A meeting was recently held in
Cooper Union, New York, the call be-
ing signed by 1870 business men Of
mercantile concerns" to urge upon the
senate the immense Importance OF pass
ing the bill without further delay" the
object stated in the call being ga speedy
passage" of the Wilson bill.
The American Economist looked up
the occupations of the 1870 business
men or mercantile concerns signing
the call and finds that Trow's directory
gives SO Of them as importers of for
eign goods. There are also eight "mer-
chants" one chats" one Clamps" one
"china, " one trimmings, " one "chem-
icals," who, while not designated as
importers, are doubtless such and would
make total Of II importers of foreign
goods out of the 1870 "who desire a
speedy passage" of the bill to give
American markets to their foreign man.
ufactured goods.
It was found that five Of "the bust
ness men of New York" are not men,
toned in the directory at all, while
nine are Lawyers, one is "chair-
man," one secretary" two "insur-
ance," one editor" one treasurer,
three presidents, one "vice presi-
dent" one "artist" and one "eating
house"
1t was further noted that the follow
ers of the free trade Congressman
Straus, foreign manufacturer Of
china, glass, crockery and earthenware,
are very numerous, comprising no less
than 30, one half Of those openly avow-
ed as importers of foreign goods. 1t is
not surprising that the speeches given
at that meeting by these representatives
Of foreign goods were occasionally greet
ed with Kisses, or that the name of ex-
President Harrison was applauded.

In the Dentists Chair.

1t has always been claimed by the
party of free trade that unprotected"
industries are in no way affected by the
tariff. This is all wrong. What affects
one industry affects others, and if a pro-
tective tariff causes prosperity directly
to one class of the community it indi-
rectly brings prosperity to others.
The American Protective Tariff league
has sent blanks to 100 different dentists
in the city of New York propounding
the following query:
'Supposing 100 represents your collec-
tions for the month of January, 1898,
what percentage of 100 more or less will
represent your collections for the month
of January, 1S94?'
The answers received showed a wide
range. In one case dentist had only
collected 20 per cent as much last Janu-
airy as he did in January, 1893. In an
other case the collections were 90 per cent
larger than last year. But the average
of all the replies shows collections Of
only so per cent. In other words, for
every 800 collected by these dentists in
January, 1898, they collected only $50 in
January, 1894.
1t appears that the Cleveland hard
times have not affected the amount of
work of the dentists in very many in
stances. But people call for less expen-
sive work. Consequently the earnings
of the dentist are less, besides his being
unnble to collect what he does earn. 1t
is point that dentists in every city in
the country should remember that under
a free trade administration collections Of
money earned fell off Al per cent within
a year. For every 800 they only got
$50. Protection to other industries makes
the dentists business the more prosper

Free Coal Would BE Worse.

One of the most unfortunate and re-
grettable recent events is the failure of
the Cleveland CO., conference to settle
the soft coal strike.
The difference between the wages the
miners want and the wages the opera

Of course the demagogue free trade
journals are Selling upon the declara-

owners mean starvation for the miners
as evidence that protection does not pro-
tect wages.

Tie Turkeys of Timn.

Friend Eillinel, writing from the
Heidelberg university, at Tiffin, o.,
says that there seems to be an analogy
existing Gatween our present free trade
Democracy and two old time turkey
trappers tllat used to reside in that vi
tinity. One Of the trappers built a pen
md succeeded in catching three fine
wild turkeys. But while putting them
into the pen one got away from him,
30 he foolishly threw down the two he
had in his hands to run after the one
that got away. The other trapper, see
ing the race, exclaimed, Run, Bottle,
runp' But Bottle failed to run fast
enough, and so lost all his turkeys.
In like manner our free trade friends
want to throw down our large, certain
and profitable home market to risk nc
curing small share in the sometimes
improbable and always uncertain SO
called markets Of the world. p" The only
difference seems to be that of the two
the free trader is the bigger fool, for
the trarper risked losing only 6G25 per
cent in order to catch 331S per cent,
while the free trader risks losing 90 per
cent in order TO acquire the meager and
uncertain per cent.
