Protect ionist Fais~ Prophets That Ar
without Ilonor.


II Is hardly a year since the demo-
cratic tariff act was passed. and il is
therefore easy 10 recall the prophecies
which that measure called forth from
its opponents. They have not passed
out Of mind. IL seems but yesterday,
indeed. that with one voice the sup
porter> of Mckinlcyism were predict
ing woe and ruin To follow the disturb
ancc Of tn. monopolists' tariff. warn
ing worxingmen of the reduction of
their wages to a level with those OF
the ''pauper labor" of Europe. and
mourning over the extinction Of mana
featuring industries in America.
There was much in the situation az
that time to give color TO these dismal
prophecies; the people were still in tho
dumps: confidence had not recovered
from the severe blow dealt by the
panic Of 1888, and a good many credul-
Gus persons really believed that the
business depression and disaster under
which the land was suffering had their
cause in the fear that the Mckinley
tariff would be disturbed. 80 il was
that the prophecies of disaster 20 fol-
low a change in the tariff was boldly
made. the prophets being sure of at
least n momentary credit in the exist
ing temper Of the people and getting
at least a temporary political advan-
tage in the influence of this feeling
upon the elections Of 1891.
There is no doub: the recovery OF
business was retarded in some degree
by the malevolent efforts of the croak-
ers. But not all the false prophets in
the world can prevent natural causes
from producing their natural results;
and in spite OF the prophecies of evil
10 follow the operation of the rev
tariff the recovery began and has con-
tinued 10 the present time with the
bright prospect OF reaching the high
est standard of prosperity ever known
in this favored country.
Instead of fading away, industry has
revived in every branch. Instead of
decreasing. the wages Of labor have
risen all over the land. Instead Of
falling off under the competition OF
foreign prices. domestic products have
risen in value in our own markets
while AZ the same time they have
iDuuu new iHdEhtts All lorcAe couh
tries.
All this has come about under the
operation OF the tariff which. less than
twelve months ago. the prophets Of
McKinleyism in chorus predicted was
10 ruin business and starve the work
men. Compare the facts of to-day with
the predictions Of last summer and
what a contrast appears. The great
work OF industrial production was
never more active. and the revival has
come entirely within these few months.
Mills which have been idle for years
have started up: hundreds of thou
sands of workmen have again begun
10 earn regular wages; the standard OF
pay and Of production has been raised.
And this j. the answer which the facts
Of i>e5 give 10 the prophecies Of is9i--
Augusta Me- New Age.
