COxeyisnn.

Republican press has set out upon
q line of argument which will take
it all summer to bring to a cogent
conclusion. 1t is trying to shoulder
Coxeyism upon the Democratic
party. Lordl The mission of the
Democratic party has always been
to give every man an opportunity
to take care of himself. 1t believes
that when every man has a fair
opportunity he can take care of
himself, and that that Government
is best which governs least. This
is precisely theopposite of the "gen
eral welfare" ideas of the parties
which have opposed Democracy
from the time of the Adamses down
to Coxey. They insist that it is
the duty, in one way or another Of
the Government to protect every
body. This is the idea that fills the
added brains of Coxey and his fol-
lowers. They are marching to
Washington for protection. Let
the Republican press look after its
very own. Don't try to push these
deluded fellows out of their place
in the protective ranks.

The Mckinley Panic.

Senator Mills insists that the NC
Kiniey panic was due before 1893;
but in 1890 the Lord sent US crops
of corn and cotton that were worth
far more than the crops of 1889 In
1891 the crops were 600 to 800 mil
lion dollars more valuable than the
crops of 1890. The crop of 1892
was worth $500, 100000 less than
the crop of 1891. The crop of 1893
was worth $500, 900, 900 less than
the crop of 1892. When the con-
ditions were ripe for the culmina-
ton of the plan of "Proteetion for
the sake of Protection" raw sugar
was put on the free list, the Sugar
Trust was given $50, 600, 600 worth
of aprotection'' annually and the
sugar planterss1o, 600, 900 of bounty.
and the Treasury was thrust so
deep in the mire of a losing silver
speculation as to shake the credit of
the Government. ALI this is his
tory. The Democratic party came
into power just at the critical mo-
.ment of the breakdown of Repub-
lican policies; and the attempt has
been made to put upon the Demo-
cratic Administration the RESPONSE
bility for disaster which it had no
share in causing. The repeal of the
Silver Purchase act restored conf
dence in financial circles. The
prospect of good crops this year has
given further encouragement to de-
spondent business interests. Moth
ing more remains to be done to re-
store to the country a full measure
of prosperity except to end the un-
certainty of our revenue legislation
and establish the Governments
ability to cope with necessary ex-
penditure by the passage of the
Tariff bill. Every day lost is
waste of business opportunity and
of political opportunity.
