Protectionists Congratulate.

The result of the recent national elec-
tions must be extremely gratifying to
every friend of the policy of protection.
The enormous majorities for the Repub-
lcan party in the states of New York,
Pennsy Ohio and Iowa show that
these great industrial centers are averse
to any tariff policy that approaches to
free trade. Their latest expressions OF
sentiment are the results of years
practical experience. The victories in
New Jersey, Maryland, Nebraska, Kan
sas, Utah, Michigan and Kentucky al
afford good grounds for congratulation
among protectionists. We welcome the
newcomers to our cause. The only OBJ
stacle to the restoration of a protective
policy is the president, Mr.. Grover
Cleveland. This great obstacle will be
removed in 1896. Econo.

value of the Former Increases 90 Per Cent
While Capital Declines ss Per Cent.
Bankers and capitalists are we'll
aware that the earning capacity Of their
money is not as large now as it was a
few years ago. The dividends declared by
all national banks in the United States
for the half year ending Sept. /, 1885,
were B. SO per cent Of the capital stock.
For the same period in 1894 they were
$50 per cent.
This appears to be only slight de-
crease. But it is pointed out by The
Wall Street Daily News, paper that is
always an authority ON banking and
financial affairs, that the capital stock
Of the national banks in 1885 was $524,
900. 500 and in 1894 it was $685., 453, :
1876. Besides its capital, bank uses
surplus, undivided profits, circulation
and deposits for loaning purposes. In
1885 these aggregated 1886, 662, 1919
and So, 449, oil .511 in 1894; hence the
percentage of net earnings was nine
tenths of per cent {. .0093) in 1885 and
six tenths of l per cent (.0064) in 1894
The earning power of money was thus
one-third less last year than decade
earlier.
Now let us examine the value Of la
Dor. While we cannot secure accurate
official statistics for the same two years,
the returns of the census years of 1880
and 1890 make the comparison suffi-
ciently approximate and interesting. In
1880 there We're 2,700, 732 wage earn
ers in all our manufacturing industries
They received $939, 462, 252 for their
labor. In 1890 there were 4,476, 8S4
persons similarly employed, earning
$2,171, ,75O, 1873. The increase in the to-
tai number of persons employed was
65.77 per cent, and the increase in the
total amount of wages paid was 131. IL
per cent. In 1880 the average rate of
wages paid was $34S per person and in
1890 it was $4S5. The average increase
in the earning capacity of those people
who were employed in manufacturing
enterprises was 40 per cent. as compared
with decrease of 33 per cent in the
earning capacity Of capital between 1885
and 1894.
AS free traders and free trade papers
invariably endeavor to create strife be-
tween capital and labor to suit their
own political purposes, it is we'll to
have the facts placed on record that the
earning capacity of capital employed by
the national banks decreased 33 per
cent between 1885 and 1894, while the
earning capacity of labor increased 40
per cent between 1880 and 1890.
We trust that President Cleveland
will note this effect of "the iron heel of
capital upon the neck of toll" He
should give new twist to his remarks
and talk about the effect Of 1.-The iron
heel of labor upon the neck of capital -
Perhaps Mr.. Cleveland is more intimate
with the speculative earnings of capital
than with its more legitimate uses
through the functions of national banks.

The Sentiment Grows.

Protectionist sentiment continues
strong and active in the great west. In
the south it is also developing more and
more. Why? Because the value and ben
eft of manufactures are better known
and understood among places that have
few or no factories than in the indus
trial centers of the east. The resolute,
energetic pioneers who are building up
states such as Montana, the Dakotas and
Washington regard the establishment of
new industries as the only sound basis
of prosperity. Such men study practi-
cally the growth of fcommonwealths and
become, as the result, active, jealous
protectionists.
