THERE'S ONE WAYOUT
GROVER CLEVELAND SHOULD
FOLLOW cARNor's EXAMPLE.
Let the Fat Man in the white House
Acknowledge HE Incompetency to
Deal with Our Affairs of State and
Get Out.
Now 1t's Calamity Howling.

Get Out.
Now tie Calamity Howling.
Factories are idle, labor is unem-
ploycd, trade is paralyzed, money is q
drug and gold is rushing from our
Shores"
The foregoing startling announce
ment was made by the New York Her
aid, Jan. p, 1895. The Herald is one of
the strongest supporters of free trade
In the United States. 1t made a deter
mined fight, both with fallacies and
f~alsehoods, in the political campaign
of 1892 to elect n President and Con-
gress that were pledged to free trade.
More than two years after its party was
successful, and almost two years after
they assumed the administration of
u national affairs, the Herald is
compelled. to admit that the result has
been as quoted above.
This un-American sheet has from
time to time suggested various reme-'
dies to help its Administration out of
the hole into which it has become sub
merged by its anti-American policy.
We recOllect how it clamored for the
repeal of the Sherman silverlaw claim
ing that such repeal would be the sal
walton of the country. We recollect
how it clamored for the passage of a
new tariff bill, claiming that the aboli-
ton of Protection would be the saliva
ton of the country.
More recently we have witnessed its
struggles for a new currency system;
and again for free ships, both of which
We're to be of untold benefit to the
masses of our people. Its latest cry is
n of dire distress, and that the coun-
try can only be relieved by 80 popular
lean, the only practicable saving meas
ure."
Has the Herald forgotten that under
its free trade administration two loans,
amounting in the aggregate to $780,
100000, have been fioated? How then
will what it is pleased to term "a popu-
lar loan" relieve the situation? As
long as the administration of this coun-
try remains in the hands of men utter
~ incompetent to properly fulfill their
duties from an American standpoint,
these men having been elected partly
through the agency of the Herald-as
long as these incompetents maintain a
tariff policy that is of advantage to
foreign countries and destructive in it's
operation upon American interests, just
S long will our gold leave the national
treasury, no matter whether raised by
"a popular" or any other kind of loan.
The Herald seems to think that
money raised and placed in the treas
ury by what it is pleased to term "a
popular loan" will stay in the treasury.
We should like to know by what pro-
cess of reasoning it arrives ut this con-
clusion, and what sacred, preservative
halo a be encircled around gold that
is collected even by a Herald's "popu-
lar loan"
1t must be that its ovcrindulgence
III its present diet of crow has caused
the Herald to become dyspeptic, though
1t still retains some symptom of sound
digestion when it says: "Check the
outflow of gold and relieve industry
and trade from the paralysis which is
inflicting Unreasonable losses upon the
people,"
Certainly this would be the remedy,
andthe mannerin which the overflow of
gold can be checked, industry and trade
can be relieved from the paralysis
which lis in1icting immeasurable losses
upon the people" is by the immediate
repeal of the existing tariff bill. BY
this means and by no other means can it
be done. 1t is the "only one practicable
way to avert the impending crisis and
lift the country out of the present
slough into which the Herald acknowl-
edges the country has fallen under the
two years. administration of the politi-
cal party which it helped to elect.
Let the President of the United
States follow the example Of the late
ex-President Of France by acknowi-
edging his incompetency to deal with
our affairs Of state, and resign. Then
let Congress wipe out the existing tar
if land lift the country out Of the pres
ent slough" by the immediate restora-
ton Of adequate protection to Ameri-
can labor and American industries.
This would be "a popular loan" to the
people of an opportunity to exercise
their ability and to use their labor. 1t
is "the only practicable saving meas
ure," and the New York Herald knows
it.-American Economist.
Repeal the German Tariff.
The Senate is asked to consent to
nmend the German tariff bill in it's
sugar schedule. Any attempt to do this
should be vigorously opposed by every
friend of protection. If one amend
ment be agreed to, then others must
be demanded in the interests of fur
Their protection for American indus
tries and labor. The suggestion also
comes from Washington that certain
friends of protection in the United
States Senate will lend themselves to
the enactment of some financial meas
ure that will enable the United States
