PROTECTIONISM AND SOCIAL
ISM

Ambassador Bsyard hit protection
ism a hard blow in his Edinburgh
speech when he said it was one form
of socialism. The statement is abso-
lutely true, no matter how much pro-
tectionists may squirm and deny.
Those who uphold the protective tariff
plan Of footing the many to enrich the
few claim that they are opposed to
socialism and ara prone to ridicule, if
they do not actually abuse, socialistic
leaders and doctrines. But in this, as
in many other things, protectionists
are pslpably inconsistent.
IL it is wise and just for the govern
ment TO so legislate as to aid in build
ing up private enterprises and fortunes,
why should it not go further in pater-
nalistic measures? To be consistent,
the government that upholds protec-
tionism for the benefit of few per-
sons should, in some way, provide
means to help every man engaged in
business Of whatever kind, and should
see that every mans business is made
profitable to him.
Why should paternal care be limited
to one citizen in every ten? Why not
include the whole family? Such par
TALLY on the part of father toward
his children is highly unbecoming. all
should be treated alike and special
privileges shown to none. If, as an at
tempted answer to these questions, the
protectionist says that tariff laws for
the protection of everybody would
really protect nobody, he tells the
truth; but in doing go he gives
away his case completely. The
only logical inference from such
an admission is that in proportion
as few are enriched by tariff laws the
many are plundered. Objectionable as
is socialism in its entirety, it cannot be
charged with proposing to enrich
small number by fleeing the masses.
1t would simply put everybody on
dead level, and make the state the su-
preme daddy of all-the government
managing all industries, employing all
labor and fixing all wages. The mind
of every independent, enterprising, am
bilious man recoils from the idea of
such system, though it is popular
and fascinating with many honest, we'll
meaning people. Protectionism, as far
as it goes, is paternaiism, and paternal-
ism is but another name for socialism.
Instead of protectionists and social
lists antagonizing each other, they
really ought to join hands, as both
classes are travelling the same road.
The only difference is in the number
of people that each ism desires to en-
brace in the all-folding arms of thor
oughly paternal government. Genuine
Democracy stands opposed to both of
them

ALL WARDT EGGSACTLY

An Irish priest was once preaching to his
congregation on the evils of drunkenness.
''It's the drink he told his congregation,
"that makes you beat your wives; it's the
drink that makes you neglect your chill
dren it's the drink that makes you shoot
at your landlords-and miss EN-" Ahl-
wardt attributed the bad craftsmanship
of the man who threw eggs at him in vain
TO the marksman's race. This is a re-
proach which it is to be feared that other
Hebrews will endeavor at Ahlwardt's next
meeting ia remove. We do not mean, of
course, to commend the throwing at an
ant-Semitic agitator of eggs no longer in
their first youth, even if the eggs hit him.
Such conduct is not egg-semplary. But
when an eggsotic agitator undertakes to
eggsite luminosity in a foreign country
against those who have been compelled to
eggspatriate themselves in order to eggser-
else their callngs in peace, and publicly
eggspresses his hatred for them, what can
be eggspect from the eggsasperated eggs
lies but eggstreme measures? Eggsempli
gratia, eggs.-New York Times.
To all of which we must add that we
think it is eggsactly correct and eggs
tremely we'll put.

1t is remarkable how prone men are to
require persons TO express sentiments with
which they agree before they can recognize
their ability to think well or to express
themselves with force and clearness. The
presidents message on the Venezuela
question is written in the same vigorous.
terse and logical style as have been his
former messages. and as is the last one
relating to the finances. The Venezuela
message is recognized by everybody as be-
ing clear. convincing and admirable-by
men who have been III the habit of sneer-
ing at the literary style of al! bis other
compositions, yet they are all alike. In
this one case what he has 10 say strikes the
American heart. whether it is in a Demo-
era ic. Republican, Populist or Prohibition
breast, for at heart we are all patriotic
Americans. aiming at the same ends but
striving TO gey there by different routes. 1t
would be better for some Of us TO keep
this in mind more than we do when at
tempting TO cOntrovert one another's argyll
ments. 1t isn't patriotism that is lacking,
but trained intelligence to enable people
accur ately to analy re the different propo-
stions that come up in our business of
self-government.i in the light of history and
experience and according TO known laws of
political, social and economic science.

THE DECREASE IN CTRCULA.
TON,

The Phoenix Herald, in the course OF
prosperity depends upon large
amount of money being in circulation,
calls attention to the fact that be-
tween December l, 1894, and December
l, 1895, the amount in circulation, by
which is meant the amount outside the
vaults of the United States, decreased
$43,000,000. This, ii figures out, means
a reduction of Sill per capita for the
year. "These are the conditions that
accompany hard times" it says. In
view of the fact that the year alluded
to by the Phoenix paper has been more
prosperous than either of the preced-
throughout the country, one might
more logically claim that "these are
the conditions that accompany" good
times.
OF course a decrease in the amount
of money in use and in banks does not
produce of itself good times, but nei-
Their does it necessarily produce bad
times. The delusion that a country's
prosperity rests on the quantity of
money it has, comes Of the failure to
grasp the truth that money does not
make business, but serves business;
that it is only a tool, and that its use
follows the the effective demand for it..
The effective demand is the kind that
has something that the people want, to
give for the money. The people with
nothing saleable to give for money
nearly always think that the reason
they are short of it is because there is
too little in existence.
The extent to which money is de-
manded and circulated in the channels
of trade depends on conditions of pro-
duction and exchange, and not on the
quantity of money in the country.
The increase or decrease of the
amount in circulation-and there
might be $1,000,000,000 in the country.
and only half the amount be in circu-
lation-is an effect, not a cause, of
trade conditions. An increase in cir
culation may come from increased
production or augmented commerce.
A decrease in circulation may result
from one Of two causes. It may be
the effect of diminished production and
tagging commerce, or such changes in
the methods of transacting business
that money as tool OF exchange
may be dispensed with more
than formerly. While the volume
of trade is continually enlarging the
demand for money to be used in per-
forming the functions Of trade grows
not only relatively but actually less
because of the substitution OF safer
and more economical tools of ex-
change. Money was great labor
saving device, but greater have come
since money was devised. The major
portion of the business today is car
ried on by transferring debts and
credits, not money. The latter has be-
come less of an actual tool and more
of standard, and the quality or
stability Of it 10 absolutely and prima-

The SALVATION ARMY may be somewhat
spectacular in its methods of attract
ing the ungodly, but it is also mighty
substantial in its mode of taking the
keen edge from poverty on Christmas
day. The collection ard distribution
of good food to nearly two hundred
families, equivalent to almost one
thousand people, in this city on Christ
mas day by the local corps of the army,
was a piece OF practical Christianity
deserving of the highest commenda-
ton.

OF wealth and distribution of poverty is
