more IN unifcently enrich the wealthy.

IMPORTS COMPARED.

During nine Of the eleven months Of
the fiscal year 1895 the new tariff was
in force; during the entire period of
eleven months in the fiscal year 1898
the tariff law in operation was that of
Mckinley. AS in the case of the totals
= in our first table, SO with respect to
every one of these tens, the value of
the imports has been less in 1895 than
it was in 1898 We have repeatedly
urged our republican contemporaries
to admit the existence of this differ
ence, and to comment upon it, but We
have urged in vain.-N. Y. Times.

in rcgula ting their personal habits to q
fapatical American standard. This
situation has been deepened and inten-
sified by tho utter dishonesty of the re-
publican party in maintaining high
protective tariff laws exclusively for
the benefit of the manufacturer.
That policy has maintained FREQ
trade in labor while making Il closed
market for American products. 1t has
resulted in driving distinctively Amer
lean labor from all the paths of indus
try and has supplied its place system
atical1y with aliens who h@ve been
coaxed hitl1er by the promise OF high
wages to BE- givea them by protected
lnanufa cturers. who wish to have the
benefit of free trade in labor. All the
while Americans were told by preach
crs Of tariff legislation that the one
purpose was to dignity, enrich and en-
noble the American laborcr, and nil
the while the real benc6ciarics were
bringing tho cheapest labor of the
world into this marl<et-labor with all
its racial prejudices, all its savage
prOlnptings and all its willingness to
undcrbid native labor.
The Hun and the Slav have taken the
place of the American laborers at
mines. Tumult and disorder have
arisen i'll various places as the result
of locl<outs and of strikes and OF en-
counters between offending savages.
The real responsibility for such exhi-
bition of barbarism in America )ics at
the door Of the republican protective
policy, that has steadily sought to dis
courage or forbid inlportations Of fax
RIGS, but has opened wide the ports OF
America to the least enlightened peo-
pies of the earth and has brought the m
here for no other purpose than to drive
out intelligent American labor as be-
ing too high-priced for the greedy cor
porations that would have a tariff law
benefit them in both ways by giving
them cheap labor and a monopoly
market.
The inevitable fruit of McKlnleyism
ripened in bloodshed at Spring Valley.
Everywhere in the land it has repeat

The Lesson Of Free Wool.

The coming congress, we venture to
predict, will not put a tax on imposts of
wool. It is mighty hard to reenslave
an article once set free. Mckinley
tried to do it with hides and failed.
Free wool adds another to the object
lessons taught by quinine and hides.
Had a republican congressman put all
sugars on the free list, instead of tax
ing refined in order to shelter and
maintain the sugar trust, the last con-
Rress would not have been able to tax
imports even for revenue. The farm
ers who yet imagine they were hurt by
free wool might as we'll give up and
Join the rest of US now in an effort to
get free woolens Fifty per cent. pro-
lection on them is absurd as we'll as
outrageous-St. Paul Globe.
