Ia tho arsl ten months OF the Wilson
TARA our imports OF manufactures
nearly doubled as compared with the
corresponding period OF tie Mckinley
tariff. Inc increase in tho imports Of
raw wool was AL per cent Of woolens
1850 per cent, of iron 81 per cent, OF
earshenwats Sc per cent, otRlasswsre 40
per cent.
These products supplanted the pro-
ducts OF American muscle aud skill.
There lie more where they came from,
aud our tariG is framed to lot them in.
1t Is not so bad tariG as 1t might be,
but this is because the Democratic
President and tho Democratic house
could not have their way. They did
the best they could for foreign pro-
ducers and promised to drive the wedge
In further should they have trinmphed
ones moro at tho pOIIs.
The next tariff will be made by the
party OF protection. Il will be an
American tatitl, framed with view to
give American industry the first chance
in the American market. 1t will lack
the sweet simplicity Of ad valorem
dates, which hold out the largest re-
wards to exporters aud importers who
do the tallest swearing.
The schedules OF tho next tariff will
not be the schedules of 1890, for condi.
tioa. change; but tie basis Of it all will
be- protection, which with the Rspu6li.
can party is an abiding principle.

Marked Change in tho Voting Force
In 1892 Thousands OF Republicans,
giving heed to Democratic persuasion,
helped to pu. the Democratic party in
power. They had been made to believe
that good times would DO made better.
The neeossaries OF life were to be
cheaper because thoy were to be pro.
dueed by the cheaper labor Of foreign
hands. Wages were to DO higher aud
employment s:eadier. The Thousands
who took thls bait did not stop to con.
slider the Inconsistency Of the argument.
In 1894 these Thousands Of Republic
cans swung back into line and, with the
asyistsuce Of Thousands OF Democrats,
helped to elect Republican house as
the result ola terrible drubbing Of the
party OF irse trade. Tho recent cleo
lions dsmouStrate beyond question that
these Democratics voter have not yet
slu.ted their vengeance. They are
lined up on tho same side lot the next
6ght
The fact Is, and the Democratic poll
ticiana may as well realize it, that TO a
very large extent these voters are no
longer Democrats. ThOy are protection
ists who will stand by the party OF PRO.
lection as long as tho tariff remains an
issue, and they will take pleasure in
polling their votes SO as to do the Dom
octalic party tho greatest possible harm.
To all intonts these former Democrats
have become part Of tho elective army
Of Republication. ThOy are cordially
welcomed and nothing Is left undone to
make them feel at homo.
