JOURNALS PROTECTIVE POINTS

JOURNALS PROTECTIVE POINTS.
1t has been long time since so many
protective arguments have appeared in
the editorial columns of the Providence
Journal as were found there this morn
ing. They were there unconciously and
without malice prepense, but there they
were just the same. The Journal TAX
ing up the iron and steel industries of
the United States gives one of the best
refutations of the statement that pro-
tective tariff per SO increases the cost of
an article to the consumer. The free
traders have always made this claim.
The protectionists have ss5 strenuously
denied it and have insisted that COM
petition regulated the price; that is,
that fostered by protection home in
dustries were encouraged, and between
them competition speedily regulated
prices and prevented any exhorbitant or
unhealthy prices.
Now The journal proves this state
ment in its leading editorial this morn
ing, and we cannot deal more fairly by
The Journal than to quote its own words
exactly.
"Bessemer iron has recently been
selling in Pittsburg for $11 per ton and
the price in Great Britain, T. o. b., is
the same. Gray forge, which has been
selling in Birmingham, Ala, for 81,
costs in Great Britain $3.50, and No. 1
foundry, selling at $3.50 in Birmingham
is selling at $12 In Great Britain"
Under protective tariff iron has
dropped steadily from 800 ton to $l1
ton, until we can now and for severa!
years past have been able to compete in
any market in the world on iron and
hold our own. From small iron pro-
ducing nation we have jumped under
protection from one of the weakest to the
place of the leading iron nation of the
world. Yet this is just what the free
traders protest cannot be done.
Yet it has been done, and today we
can undersell England in her own
markets.

SAD NEWS FOR RHODE ISLAND.

The Democracy is bound that the
poor shall have no relief during this long
hard winter. 1t has a theory, and that
theory must be put into experiment
even If thousands go hungry and
starve and hundreds perish from cold
and destitution.
What is all such suffering in compari-
son with the putting into practice of a
hobby?
The Telegram last night in one column
announced that the leading woolen
manufacturers of Rhode Island believing
that the house would accept the decision
of the ways and means committee in
regard to the woolen schedule, which
virtually put off action until late next fall
would be adopted. had seriously consid-
cred starting up their mills to take ad-
vantage of the delay and the manufac-
turers, while they could under the GER
tainty that their stock would not come
into competition with stocks of cheaper
made importations.
In another column it told of the de-
feal of this plan.
Under the leadership of Tom Johnson
yesterday this plan was knocked into a
cooked hat, and the mills will not start.
Johnson succeeded in defeating the ways
and means committee and had an amend
ment passed that the free wool and
woolens chedule take effect Immediately
upon the passage Of the Wilson bill.
Thousands of Rhode Island operatives
who yesterday morning had good rea-
sons for belief that they would soon be
at work, know today that they must re-
main idle, thanks to the action Of the
free trade Democracy in the house yes

WHICH WILL VIM

The people of the United States are
watching with interest the result of the
contest between the Duval Athletic
club and the governor of Florida. The
latter has given public notice that the
contest shall not take place within the
confines of the territory over which he
has jurisdiction. The Duval club claim
that the absence of n specific prohibition
from the statute books gives them the
right to carry on the prize fight dis
guised under the name of glove con-
test. The club has set traps innumerable
for the governor and he has very skill
fully evaded them aud has thus avoided
any adverse decision in the courts.
The contest may take place. but IL
it does it will have TO take
place in secret and not in the
city Of Jacksonville. IL would seem
as though It was not much of trick TO
stop prize fight, but perhaps IL is. The
contest therefore is very interesting one
and the public is waiting to see whether
law and order can be defied by party
OF self.announced law breakers with
impunity.

ANOTHER POINT.

The Journal this morning in its dis.
cussion of the Wilson bill takes up the
case of Mr.. Horace p. Tobey Of Ware
ham, Mass, president of fremont Nail
Company, claiming him as one of the
men whose objections to the pending
measure have been determined by
practical business reasons and not by
politics, and therefore sis decidedly
worth noticing" The Journal thus
comedies that the opinions of the men
interested in a particular line of bust
ness are worth regarding when it
comes to question of a change in the
tariff. This is surprising concession,
but nevertheless it is decidedly founded
on truth. Those engaged in any branch
of manufacturing or 10 any industry
are better qualified to Judge Of the con-
ditions under which they can do business
to advantage and also to Judge what
Legislation will be harmful to their in.
dustry than mere theorists are.
The manufacturers, and the employees
of the manufacturers as well, have pro-
tested against the passage of the Wilson
bill, denouncing it as destructive and
detrimental TO their best interests. Yet
the Democratic theorists insist upon its
passage. They refused to give ear to
the protests Of the manufacturers while
the bill was only in the committee
stage; they were then told that it
would only bring ruin and disaster. but
they refused to heed the protests and
now refuse TO entertain any protests or
give hearing to the cries of the working
men idle because OF this blow to their
industries.
The Journal may claim that Mr.. To-
hey was equally as opposed to the
Mckinley bill. True, Mr.. Tobey like
number Of other Mugwumps-in.trade has
Teen begging for special and class legis-
lation for years. lie wanted certain
raw materials free. There have been
other men just like him. Give them
the raw materials free and reduce
the duties on their manufactured
articles and then they cry out that they
are still being Disseminated against.
The protective system embraces protec-
tion to every industry; II is not class
legislation, II applies to the whole ma
tiru.

THE BOND ISSUE.

1t has been apparent for weeks that
the treasury's critical condition needed
immediate relief. The Democratic
leaders refused to allow any measure to
relieve financial embarrassment to pass
congress until after the tariff was dis
posed of, and there remained therefore
but one way to raise money and that
was by an issue of high
rate bonds under the act of
1875. This act refers back
to the act of July IA, 1870 entitled "An
Act to Authorize the Refunding of Ma
tional Debt" That act calls for ten
year 8 per cents, fifteen-year AZ per
cents, and thirty-year per cents.
Congress could have authorized
a popular loan at far less rates but con-
gress wouldn't, so Secretary Carlisle has
taken up with the best solution and
called for proposals for $4,000, 900 ten
year 5 per cents.
He will thus obtain little temporary
relief, but only temporary.
At last, after months of waiting, the
administration has been forced to Go
what it should have done at the
beginning of summer. But congress
must take hold of this question itself
promptly, for the present relief
is only makeshift expedient.
How the gold bond issue will strike the
average Democrat is n question inter
esting in itself but not important.

CHARGES AGAINST POWDERLY.

Ex-Grand Master Workman Powder
ly it seems, did not leave the haunts of
the Knights in blaze of glory. The
sensational stories circulated about him
and his associates, although disproved
by the tribunal, were calculated
to leave bitter taste in the mouths Of
his constituents. Powderly knew 1t and
realized that his end had come. There
was nothing left to him but resignation
and he accepted it with the best posi-
BILE grace.
But the heaviest of peculations, had
the stories about them been true, would
have been insignificant compared with
the ruin and devastation visited upon
that unfortunate order by the ill-advised
and reprehensible policy of the leader of
the Knights. From strong, aggressive,
influential body Of wcrkmen they have
become weak and vacillating and thin.
ned in membership to an almost incon-
ceivable extent. Powderly's pet weapon
of warfare was the strike. He employed
it constantly and injudiciously.
The Knights through it became dis
contented and demoralized. Hardly a
single walkout advocated by Powderly
resulted in victory for the workingmen.
The inevitable terminus of such a
policy was the decadence Of Powderly
and this end would soon have been
worked out without the aid OF additional
charges of corruption.
The strike was given fair trial under
Powderly and failed. 1t remains to be
seen what policy will be adopted by his
successor.

AFTER careful reading of the re-
ports of the debate between Judge
Powers and Judge Goodwin at Salt
Lake Lake Thursday night, but one
conclusion is reached, and that is, that
adroit and able as Judge Goodwin un.
questionably is, yet he is no sort of a
match for his great adversary. Powers
has all Judge G's. research, all of his
adroitness and all of his ability, but
he has been an active man of affairs
while Goodwin has been a dreamer,
a phrase-maker, poet. That's the
difference between them and this de-
bate shows it plainly. The victory re-
m ainei with Powers.
