Evidently the price should have been

months because, owing to the threaten

the employment of labor which enter
prise requires, but it has also reacted
directly upon u national Treasury,
SO that, after u national debt was
being gradually paid off without inter-
ruptiOn for a quarter of a century, we
find, under this free-trade administra-
ton, there has been a necessity to in
crease the national debt almost to the
extent of 100000 600 within the two
years that the present administration
has been in power.
The effect of the increase in the ma
tional debt has been to harden the
money market, sc that those who are
striving to operate their industrial en-
terprises in order to meet the increased
competition forced upon them under
the German tariff, are compelled to pay
a higher rate Of interest for the money
which they borrow in conducting their
business. This, in itself, increases the
cost of production Of American manu-
featured goods, and also Of American
farm products where farmers are OBJ
liged to seek pecuniary assistance.
Meantime the tariff rates remain IN
changed, and the foreign manufacture
ers and producers are given a still
further advantage over our own manu-
facturers and producers. There are
very many industries in which a frac-
tional additional cost will involve an
actual loss, consequently any in
creased burden Of expenses that our
manufacturers and producers may be
called upon to bear must result in
efectually compelling them to retire
from business, which would, render
more labor idle, still further lessening
the demand for goods, and increasing
the existing stagnation of trade.
Thus, again, 1t would appear that
the policy of free trade, inaugurated
by the present administration, is con-
tinuing it's work of destruction, mas
much as the administration, having
involved our national Treasury in
debt, and being compelled from time
to time to borrow enormous sums of
money, has forced an advance in the
rate of interest on money that has to
be paid by the manufacturer o. pro-
Queer who is a borrower in the reg
ular course Of his business. and who
Is at his wits end to make his income
meet his expenses. This additional In
terest charge is thrust upon him by the
incompetency of q free-trade admin
stration whose policy has been,
throughout, to administer American
affairs for the exclusive benefit Of
foreign countries. Friends of pr0tec-
ton in Congress should vote unhesi-
tatingly for any bill that will lessen
the interest charge upon the new bond
issue and thus tend to tighten the bur-
dens Of our American people In more

Where Relief IL Needed.

There are two things needed In this
country; one for the relief Of the Gov
eminent itself and the other for the re-
lief Of the people themselves. These
two things r a tariff for revenue and
a tariff for protection. The tariff Of
!, 1890 met both demands, and that most
admirably. The new tariff makes no
attempt ut protection, and from a
strictly revenue point of view Is q con
spicuOus and lamentable failure. Thia
much Is not debatable ground. No
