PATERSON, y. j., May 1S.-The 800
ribbon weavers who have been on
strike for the past ten weeks have been
starved into defeat. The first serious
break occurred in the strike yesterday,

William Strange Co. decided to return
to work for the manufacturers price

occur, Notwithstanding the efforts OF
the leaders to preserve the union of

Thus pressed by us all, Holmes

Reasonable Results OF Democratic Efforts

to Wipe Out Protection.
The democratic victory of 1899 was
public notice that that party would at
tempt to wipe out the protective sys-
tenn.
The effects were seen almost imme-
diately. New industries in contempla-
ton were abandoned. Those already
established stopped eniarging. Doubt,
uncertainty, growing soon into the
certainty Of hostile legislation, cur
tailed business. Prudent men reduced
their business, the demand for work
fell of and all hands prepared. as best
they might, for the coming storm.
Now that it has come and stays with
US; now that its effects are so appalling
ly plain; now that all feel SO sorely its
havoc, the great democratic party has
the gall, the cheek. the supreme audac-
ity to claim that the Mckinley bill did
all this.
So preposterous Q change needs nc
comment at all; all needed Is to lay
facts before the voters and let them
judge.
We are therefore justified In asserting
that the act Of 1890, could it's perma'
nency have been assured, would have
accomplished the double purpose for
which It was enacted-revenue and
protection.
1t may be answered, however. that
the tariff act of 1890 has been in con.
tinuous operation since its enactment
and is still in force. and yet under II
revenues have declined and industries
decayed. Conceding this to be true
we deny that the existing deploraols

1t is well for US to look this question
squarely in the face. Let us see what
