Told Only Half.

"a story is going the rounds OF the
press to the effect that a Philadelphia
clothing firm is buying the surplus stock
of wooden and worsted goods from the
large mills that otherwise would have
had to shut down, owing to over-pro-
duction and the competition of foreign
cloths. In a letter addressed TO this
loyal firm, Mr.. Charles Fletcher, Presi'
dent of the National and Providence
Worsted Mills, at Providence, Rhode Is
land, asks: 1.-THE fight Of our lives is on,
shall England furnish Americans with
their clothing, or shall American man
| ufacturers close their mills 7" But for
the fact that the Republicans have con-
troI of Congress, and will put a check
upon further free trade theories, there
is no telling how much damage the
friends Of that dogma might have done
the country STANDARD.
The letter also contains the follow ing
which the Standard did not publish.
"Myself and Sereral manufactures sciN
shoe to the people the superiority Of Do
nestle Go0ds. You wiI be able to sell
these goods at least one,third less than
ang foreign goods Of equal quality and
qceight."
Which part of the letter will a sensi-
BILE man believe. The Mckinley bill
taxed the material this factory uses
from "a to 100 per cent. advalorem
while the Wilson bill gives him free
wool and allows him to compete with
the world on an equal footing. The
manufacturer is protected on his goods
from 80 10 so per cent ad valorem un'
dor the Wilson bill, besides freight and
brokerage across the ocean. He can
manufacture just as cheap, as he says
he can because of free raw material and
| the tariff of 80 per cent. is the one-third
reduction below what foreign goods
can he put in the American market for.
The STANDARD can't show where MI.
Fletcher pays one-half more for his
labor than foreign manufacturers.
Now if this manufacturer can make
| goods for one-third less than any for
eign manufacturer, as lie says he can.
and he says he is running full time, any
man with common sense will see he
needs no tariff for protection at all.
What American fool is going to pay
more for foreign goods of poorer quality.
This is a fare sample of the buncombe
arguments with which many are being
deceived. The letter can be seen in
full at the RECORD Office.

President Cleveland has at last sent
a message to Congress which suits every
Republican twister of the British lions
tail and silences the Jingoes who are
itching for a fight. AS the English
Government refuses to aTbi;rate the
disputed boundary line between British
Guiana and Venezuela and claims the
Monroe doctrine has nothing to do with
it Grover lays down the Doctrine as ap-
plying to the extending OF the territory
as well as the acquisition of a whole
country by a foreign nation. He asks
for an appropriation and authority to
appoint a commission to decide the dis
pute and then if Johnny Bull puts bis
foot over the line, then to fight. The
weak republics on this continent will
be protected in their just rights. The
message shows he has the courage to
sass Johnny Bull and the wagon load
of ducks and geese he brought home
from his cunning trip shows he is a
good shot.

Against The Greenback,

At the dinner given to the Long Is
land bank presidents by Hon. 5. M.
Griswold, in Brooklyn, Tuesday night,
William c. Corwell, president of the
City Bank, of Buffalo, made the princi-
pal address. lie said in part
1.-THE disturbing element in business
is the fiat principle, the seed of which
was sowD when the first greenback was
rolled off the Government printing press
amid the smoke and fire Of war. That
seed was spread oil the wings of the
whirlwind, sowing devastation disguis
ed as prosperity, and making necessary
a harvest of bitter fruit-a settling day
in 1878, when values were wiped out
like smoke and ruin and suffering fol.
lowed.
"When the %greenback was issued Its
advocates declared TINT it was for tenn
porary use only and the determination
to wipe it out was again and again
averred. But, like the whisky habit,
the use remained long after the emer.
gency had passed. After providing in
1875 for specie payment in 1879 and for
the virtuous and complete wiping out OF
the greenback at a fixed date, three
years later, in 1878, a 'Keeley cured
Congress broke down all barriers and
in wild caronsal passed a law prohibit
ing any further cancellation of the
g~reenbacks and commanding their re
issue whenever and form wherever paid
into the Treasury. The national whisky
habit was thus made permanent and
binding, and flstism, immoral and de-
moralizing, with its train of fatal con-
sequences, was fastened upon Is. Like
any vice thus tolerated and then en-
braced, its effect has been to make il
impossible for many OF u people in
this regard to distinguish between right
and wrong.
"Further indulgence in the vice
allowed reckless purchases Of silver
new issues of Treasury notes, a filling
up of the currency of the country with
fiat money, regardless of business re
quirements, until in 1898 the pile top
pied over, and commerce is to-day JUS
beginning to crawl out from under the
wreck.
"If the fetch ofthe gold reserve vert

makes the reserve necessary, namely,

ment.
"We depend upon this shifty exped'
lent, the shifting gold reserve, to main.
tain the gold standard in the United
States, for if the reserve becomes de-
pleted and the Government cannot re-
deem in gold every dollar of obligations
presented, we drop at once to the silver
standard. II this should happen, values

The disputed line between British
Guiana and Venezuela has become i'm

The critics of Mr.. Bayard should
read the U. S. Constitution which
guarantees freedom of speech so long
as one tells the truth, and none of his
critics have attempted to prove he did
not do so.
The Penn's Grove record., 1895-12-20

Protection and free silver are Siamese
twins. The Mckinley bill was passed
only by the passage of the Sherman act
of 1890 which provided for purchasing
all the produces of the American silver
mines and the imitation of the currency.
The Republican plurality in the U. 5.
Senate has recognized the committees
by making the Finance Committee in
favor of free silver by putting a West
ern free silver Republican on it to fill
the place of Senator Mcpherson, a
sound money Democrat. Every Popu-
list has also been given the chairman
ship of a committee.

The street car employees in Philadel-
phia have taken advantage of the fight
of the people for cheaper fares by strik-
ing to have their days labor reduced
from II to 10 hours at the same pay, 81:
to have the front of the cars enclosed
to protect them from the weather, but
more especially to have the Amalgamat.
ed Association of trolley car men re-
cognized, Since Tuesday morning that
city of ~''peacen has been in the hands
of the hoodlums who have wrecked
cars and threatened the lives Of the
men who are willing to work. But few
cars have been run since the strike
although order was restored on Thurs
day. The woTkmen have a perfect
right to quit work but when they, or
any one else, threaten personal harm to
those who are willing TO work they
should be shot down on the spot, at
such times.
The Penn's Grove record., 1895-12-20

Strikes are more likely to be unsuc.
cessful than successful. During the
past 134 years only 80 per cent. OF the
whole number of people thrown out of
employment by strikes succeeded in
gaining what they asked; II so per cent,
only partly succeeded; and So, so failed
altogether.
The Penn's Grove record., 1895-12-20

The reason Cleveland is not so popu.

The Secretary of the Interior has
sent to the Senate the draft of a bill
prepared by the Commissioner of In
dian Affairs to prohibit the sale of in
~toxicating drinks to Indians under PEN
atty of sixty days Imprisonment and a
fine of not less than 500. The ques-
tion will naturally arise in the minds of
many good people. Why this discrim-
nation in favor of the red man? If it
is good for him to abstain from whis-
key, why would it not be good for the
white man also? Why should the red
man be taken, In the matter CT fuddling
himself, into the special care of the
Gederal Government, while the white
man is left 10 look out for himself? 1t
would seem that tie white mans well
fare ought to be the first care of a
white mans government.

an order that no postmaster nor EN-.
ployee in the postal department of the
government shall visit Washington for
the purpose of influencing legislation
before Congress. Amy II violating
the order will be liable to dismissal.

gressmen and allow them to act more
wisely on the Postmaster Generals re-

currence for the Post Office employees,

Dawn is breaking TO the eastward,
Paler grows the gem-decked skies;
Days great king in royal splendor
From his couch now sooc will rise
Little stars, in seeming terror,
Trembling disappear from sight;
Larger planets, more courageous,
Llnger ere they tale their flight.
Fen the moon, low ia the westward.
Shows a less refulgent hue,
And beyond the far horizon
Gracefully retires from view.
