Depression and Protection.

II SNihhs
81. says:
Although the weather is cold and gloomy,
portemding snow, the usual holiday crowds
are in the streets The newspapers comment
upon the depression Of trade throughout the
year and the priyations of the working people.
Berlin seems to have suffered less from the
hard times than has Hamburg, where. owing
10 the stagnation of trade, several thousand
skilled workmen and many more laborers have
been thrown out of work and compelled to
seek employment elsewhere. There are re-
ports of an impending strike of Silesian weav
ers. The men in Breslau have applied for an
increase of wages on the ground that they
cannot live on what they now get. The EN-
ployers have refused TO grant the application.
Some of the weavers have already quit work.
Il seems, then, that the United States is
not the only country suffering from bust
ness slagnation. But the worst depression
appears to be in Germany and America,
and both are run on the High Protective
Tariff doctrine. This is significant fact
for the opponents of II tariff for revenue to
consider.

Clapp & Company's Circular

Clapp & Company, bankers and brokers,
New York city, in circular issued De-
cember %, opens with this statement
.'The year opened with prosperity unpar-
alleled, It closes in unparalleled paralysis OF
effort
The last stalemen; is uncontradicted by
any one: the first is not supported by facts.
For three years, nearly, the paralysis now
affecting the business interests of the coun-
try, has been gradually coming on, culmi-
mating last spring. It was the result of ac-
tuaI legislation, in part, not the aniicipa-
ton of future legislation, as asserted by
CIapp K Company. And part of 1t
is due to the operations Of bankers and
brokers, such as Clapp Il Company, and
stock gamblers generally. This is proven
in their circular. ''The shrinkage OF bond
values for the year is the result, 1t says,
of the credit panic and an over-supply OF
questionable securities. In speaking Of
certain railways going into the hands OF
receivers by appointment of courts, Clapp
& Company say "they are now compare
lively ont of the power of corporation man
agements. that seem to desire to pl,nder
Me properties and the Istreet in all the
modezn rays, that of late have had much
TO do in destroying confidence.
Capp 4 Co. belong to that moneyed
class that believe only in gold as mouey and
in the Republican doctrine of Protection
By the one or the credit class is enabled to
fleece the debtor, and by the other those
engaged in protected enterprises are en-
abled to plunder the people gen rally
Follow Protectionist closely, however,
and You will always find him contradict
ing himself He will descant eloquently
on the benefits of Protection to the farmer,
and when he is speaking of crops and
prices. Of the visible aud invisible supply,
in business way, you will find contradic-
lions. One part of Clapp x Company
circular alIudes to the benefits of protection.
In another part, speaking of wheat and
specializing on prices, it says" Licerpoof
practically goreyas HE aeorld's markets IN
buying NE 'eorld's surplus
The farmer, then, has to sell his wheat
at the price fixed in England, while pro-
lection puts him at the mercy of the home
manufacturer. England can pay the Amer
lean farmer what she chooses, for his wheat,
corn, oats, pork and other products, and
the American manufacturer can charge him
what he chooses for farming implements,
household goods, clothing and all else he
has to buy.
