Lunatics, as long as they are harm
less, can be looked at with pity, merely
as poor folk suffering, from delusions.
When they get very bad, they must
perforce be shut up in asylums. On
happily, the combined follies of com
munities cannot be viewed In the same
light or treated In the same way. Al
though free traders are rapidly dimin-
ishing In number, II would still take
very large asylum 20 hold them all.
One Of their worst symptoms is they
think protectionists mad and also
wicked. Anything that enhances the
price Of bread Is 10 them worse than n
crime. That the very section OF the
community, who are literally bread
producers. get no bread. is nothing TO

The Reform club, of New York, an
nounces that II has begun a campaign
OF education which shall teach the
American people to love sound money.
The Reform club has conducted such
campaigns In the past, usually with u
purpose 20 teach the people that pro-
lection TO home industry is wicked,
and that the way of righteousness lies

is composed of free traders, among
them the editors of the New York
Evening Post, and IL Is in the line OF
strict consistency when, dropping for q
time its advocacy of one British doc
trine, ii engages with enthusiasm in
the propagation of another, the doc
trine Of the gold standard. This being

OF either performance even IL there

incredible report that British money

The Pittsburg Gazette yesterday announced
an increase In the wages OF several thousand
mechanics and laborers employed In the great
iron and steel works az Bethlehem I'm this
state. This * one OF the protected industries
and n our information Is correct the increase Is
under the Wilson tari1 law.-Pittsburg Post
(Dem.).
O, then, protective tariff taxes" do
increase wages, do they? We have al
ways been under the impression that
our democratic friends held that free
trade was necessary TO benefit the
wage workers, and that a protective
tariff only made 1.-THE rich richer and
the poor poorer
1t Is, by the way, q notable fact that
the industries that are reviving from
the depression, and in which the wage
workers are enjoying an increase of
pay, are those affected by the portions
of the so-called Wilson bill in which
the policy of protection was recognized,
In violation Of the democratic platform
declaration that protection Is fraud
and unconstitutional. These were, in
some cases. the features Of the Wilson
bill included In the senate compromise
bill, which Mr.. Wilson didn't want 10
accept, and on which the free traders
said the war had only begun. Wheel

The organs. of the free trade party
are TO the front with suggestions for
raising sufficient revenue, which their
tariff for revenue only" failed TO do
A tax upon tea, tax upon coffee and
an increased tax upon beer are among
the more favored suggestions of the
free traders This, of course, is to be
expected from the leaders of a party
having no ideas of their own. and who
are mere imitators Of anything and
everything that Is English. Direct tax
alton upon every article that enters
into general consumption, and which
becomes a necessity of life, is the En-
glish idea of making life agreeable.
Hence its recommendation for adoption
by our free traders. But, what have
they TO say about ftp The people have
elected protectionists TO legislate upon
revenue matters hereafter. The pro-
tectionists will not pay the slightest
attention TO any of the suggestions of
the free traders, but will proceed TO
do what the free traders could not
frame tariff law that win provide a
sufiiciency of revenue. and frame it in
such way that 1t viii afford protec-
ton TO American. not 10 foreign in

Free traders are rarely SO happy as
when they are endeavoring 20 create
strife or start up i'll feeling between
labor and capital, employer and EN-.
ploye In doing this they are ably as
sisted by labor agitators-men who
seem born TO make trouble and who
win do so with or without reason.
From the president downward the free
traders are against those whose energy
and enterprise have made them
wealthy to-day. Their efforts to enact
class legislation showed this, and that
the wealth of the capitalists must be
taxed Is favorite ante-election cry of
such demagogues.
IL is interesting 10 study the decline
in the earning capacity of capital which
is shown by report of the comptroller
of the currency, in an exhibit giving
the ratio Of dividend 20 capital and
surplus in the national banks in the
United States 1t was, for the year
1870, s.s per cent, but fell to exactly 5
per cent. in 1894. Thus. during a omar
ter of a-century of protection, the ratio
of dividend to capital and surplus In
the national banks has decreased by
3.8 per cent. Let the wage-earners
compare this with the appreciation in
the value OF their labor that has taken
place during the same period, and they
will readily see that labor has been
the greater gamer.

Secretary Carlisle Fails 10 Enforce the
Law Prohibiting Their importation.
A very interesting debate took place
Ia the house Of commons few months
ago upon the importation OF prison
made goods into the United Kingdom.
The protection sentiment existing
among members OF parliament was
very marked, and the government en-
deavored 70 terminate the debate by
counting out the house, but the effort
failed. IT was long time before Mr..
Bryce, the president of the British
board of trade, responded to the taunts
of those who desired protection for
English labor. The subject of his re-
marks was that IL was impossible -
check the importation of prison made
goods, because there was no method of
proving what goods had or had not
been made by prison labor, and the
board of trade had not framed any
regulations upon the subject. Refer
ring 10 our own law to check the inn
portation Of foreign prison made goods
into the United States, Mr. Bryce said:
He had taken steps 70 ascertain what rcgula-
lions the secretary OF the treasury had made
and he was Informed that he had made none.
For the information Of our secretary
of the treasury, Hon. John G. Carlisle,
we quote Section "a Of the German
tariff. as follows:
That all goods, wares. articles and merchan-
disc manufactured wholly or In part In any for
eign country by convict labor shall not be en-
titled 20 entry at any OF the ports OF the United
States. and the importation thereof is hereby
prohibited, and the secretary OF the treasury Is
authorized 70 prescribe such regulations as may
be necessary for the enforcement OF this pro-
vision.
American labor would like TO know
what regulations our secretary OF the
treasury has prescribed TO enforce this
provision. We are not aware, and we
do not suppose Mr.. Carlisle is aware, TO
what extent foreign prison made goods
are imported and sold in our markets.
The law, however, is mandatory that
they 'shall not be entitled TO entry at
any of the ports Of the United States. !"
During the debate in parliament IL
was stated that the prison labor was
hired out TO manufacturers and that
goods were made to which English
marks and labels were attached, the
goods then being shipped 10 England
and sold in the English markets. I'M
doubtedly this is being done in our
markets in the case of dry goods, but
tons, coir mattings, etc.
AS an instance, we draw the atten-
ton of Secretary Carlisle TO the fact
that, from the beginning of September,
1894, up 10 the end of February, 1895,
during the first six months operation
of the German tariff, our imports of
foreign brushes amounted to 1924, 260.
VIII Secretary Carlisle kindly ex-
plain 20 what extent these brushes
were prison made? WIN he also ex-
plain what regulations he has pre-
scribed under the authority given him
by congress TO enforce Section "a of
the present tariff law. In case the
secretary of the treasury has failed
ito prescribe such regulations as may
be necessary for the enforcement OF
this provision" will Mr.. Carlisle be
good enough to explain, for the infor-
nation Of American wage-earners, why
he has failed to prescribe any such reg
ulations?
