The respectable people Of Troy, N. ~
want the political murder committed in
their midst thoroughly investigated. They
want no political screen thrown around
those thugs. But the Governor Of the great
state Of New York apparently doesn't
sympathize with these law abiding, law re-
speeding citizens. When . delegation OF
them called upon him simply to ask that
those in any way responsible for the muir
der should not be the ones to investigate 1t,
but that the case he placed in the attorney
generals hands without restrictions what
did Governor Flower of New York do? He
told them they were obstructing public busi-
ness and subject to indictment for misde-
meanor! There 10 no doubt that when
Tammany bought the Governor all the
goods were delivered such as they were.
Moreover Flower is too stupid to in anyway
conceal the fact that he's simply tool,
though dali, of the most corrupt political
ring in tie world. s

The statistics just published do not
compare the returns for 1890 with those
of the census of 40 and so years ago; but
such comparison will show some aston
ishing results of three decades of high
protection. In 1850. for example, but
564 600 tons of pig iron were made in the
United States; the product in 1890 was
9,2O2, 7O3 tons, an increase of more than 16
times. In 1850 the country made but TO-
600 tons of steel; in 1890 the product was
4,277, OIL, or AZ times as much. In 1850 the
wooden mills made $44, OOO, 900 worth of
stuff; in 1890 they made $685.. 900, 0O0 In
1850 the products of the cotton mills were
valued at $50, 600. 900; in 1890 they were
valued at $685.. 100000. In 1850 Ameri-
can silk products were worth less
than &, OO0, 600; in 1890 they were worth
more than So, 900, 900. In 1910 the Ameri-
can glass manufacture was valued at
less than 81, OOO, 600; in 1890 it was worth
over al, 100000. In 1850 the product of
our paper mills was about Sc, 600, 900; in
1890 it was $74, 100000. The country pro-
duced in 1910 but $33, 200 worth of
leather; in 1890 it produced $l72,O00.OO
During 60 or 70 years of the nations life,
tariff protection was Intermittent and
irregularly applied. No trial was given
to the system through . prolonged period
in which there was no withdrawal or re-
duction of duties. The result was that
the country made small Roadway in
manufactures. After 1850 high duties
were constantly maintained because the
Republican party was continuously in
power for more than 30 years. In that
time the gain in manufactures, in ma
tional wealth, in prosperity and in all
that makes people selfdependent, rich
md powerful, was greater than during
the entire preceding period of more than
twice the length. The gain in the value
of manufactured product up to 1860 was
but 1900, Co., 900. In the single decade
from 1880 to 1890, under high protection,
it was, g., 0O0, 100000, or more than twice
as much. No intelligent and patriotic
American can consider these figures
without believing that protection to home
industry must be the permanent policy
of the nation. This proof of matchless
national progress under protection should
arouse Republican senators to renewed
determination to resist the policy which
would turn the triumphant march of
American industry into ruinous retreat.
Fight the Wilson bill in the name of
American labor and the American home.
