REPUBLICAN DOCTORS DIS
dGREE.

The election is scarcely over, and
already our Republican friends are
beginning to squabbie over its mean
ing and import.
Some OF the quidnuncs say 1t means
. determined effort TO hing about bi-
metallism by international agreement,
while others maintain that the people
have declared for the single gold STAN
dard, and between those who have
embraced these opposing views we
may expect sooner or later lively
and interesting row.
Mark Hanna has said to some New
York papers that the Farmers aud Ia
Dol rs of western cities were won over
by explaining to them that tile Repub-
l,can party stood Cd the ST. Lonis
platform, which advocates bimetallism
under an international agreement, ana!
that Republicans are not gold mono
meiallists." From this declaration of
the great Mark, it is to be supposed
that he will east AL his influence on
the side of binetallism by information
al agreement, and if he does SO the
gold monon-tall:sts may exl.eet to
have a hard fight on hand.
1t is too early to predict McKinley's
course, Only 1t is known that he has
been in the past most friendly To sill
yer.
On the other hand, the gold organs
are training their guns against bimet-
allism of any sort and shout that by
the result of the election the people
have declared i n favor of the single
gold standard aud that standard
should be at once firmly established.
In this fight. they will be joined by
many Republican leaders who favor
the gold standard and by the India.
napolis conventionists and their fol-
lowers.
1t is too early yet to say What pro-
portions this family sqnabble brewing
will attain, but it promises to give lis
all interesting fight.

a FALLA CIOUS DOCTRINE

Protection to all American indus
flies' sounds we'll and, as catch words
the phrase has had ren,arkakahle
success. 1t has attracted to It's sup
port all Interests with an < to grind,
each actuated by the selfish hope that
it may receive the promised protection
whatever may befail other interests.
1t has fOstered trusts and combines of
various interests, that they may be
able to secure by concerted action the
high tariff in their favor, which each
separately could not hope to obtain.
Thesa trusts and combines, originally
formed to capture the promised pre-
lection, conscious Of their power, con-
time to exercise it to influence legis-
lation in other directions, and to
regulate and control the prices of their
products and the wages of laborers
employed in their line. Thus the
direct result of protection ia to create
and foster classes whose material in
terests conflict to some extent with
the general welfare.
But the greatest objection to the
doctrine as at economical one is, that
II is fallacious because impracticable
1t is impossible to protect the greata e
ricultnral interests sugar excepted) of
the United States and the commercial
interests by a protective tariff. The
only industries or interests suscepti-
BILE of protection by such a tariff are
the manufacturing mining and wool
growing industries. Now these can
only be protected at the expense eff
the agricultural and commercial (in
Guiding the carrying) interests of the
country.
So that, when analysed and reduced
to its last terms, the shibboletll of
Protection to all American indus
tries" means high protection to some
American industries, TO the detriment
OF other great American industries.
The actual experiments made of the
doctrine has demonstrated this to be
true, and the greatest shouters to-day
for ~9protection to all American indus
tries are those who hope to secure
that protection for their particular
industry. It resolves itself into a
scramble for the spoils, whenever a
new protective tariffs to be Inaugural
ted and a patient and suffering people
usually pay for the fiddling.

When you consider the number
of States in this vast Union which
will cast their electoral votes TOR
Bryan, the extent of territory they
embIace the diversified interests
they represent, you must conclude
that the 'free silver craze" as it is
called, is pretty general and has a
firm hold on the people.
Unless the incoming administration
adopts some measure which will re-
lieve the people from the present dis
:ressing conditions. this called
"craze" will spread lik. a prairie fire
and envelope the whole union in 1900.
# Mckinley and his advisers are wise
IN their generation they will bend
their best energy to bring about BIZ
metailism by International agreement.
High tariff is not the remedy and if
the Republican party is unwise enough

tary system. not with the fiscal.

The States pertinently remarks

The States %pertinentIy remarks:
ut is well to inform our Boston and
Philadelphia friends, who have been
watching with jealous eyes the rapid
increase of our export trade. that
there are now in this city a delegation
OF the Illinois Grain Dealers Associa-
ton, and they are so we'll pleased with
the Stuyvesant docks and elevators
together with the other facilities of this
port. that they declare the export
produce of the great West will a
through this city. In other words.
that New Orleans will be the gateway
for the grain exported to Europe. The
handling Of this immense trade means
nor to New Orleans than people a
imagine"
New Orleans has been making rapid
strides in securing export trade. and
we are glad to see it. but there ia no
reason why she should not reach
out for the import trade and be the
general gateway for all southern and
western trade. She has great natural
advantages, and if her present abroad
facilities are insufficient they can aud
will soon be- increased to meet her de-
mands. All depends on the e~pterprisa
push and energy Of her merchants:
they hold the key Of the situation.
They can make New Orleans one Of
the greatest commercial cities Of this
continent.

The immediate result of McKinley's
election was to bring gold out of it's
hiding places. The hoarders OF gold
are now hustling it into the treasury
for paper currency to do business with.
as colo is not desirable as a circulating
medium, and in consequence the gold
reserve has been increasing steadily.
OF course, gold men are jubilant over
the situation and proclaim that pros
perity is returning to our shores to
make this country its permanent home
under the STANDARD money Of the ci-
yilized world.n
While we hope their prophecy will
come true, yet we have our apprehen-
sions that soon a reaction will set in
and the outward flow Of the .1yellow
metal" resume it's course. When that
Junctnre is reached, we may hear more
talk about ''bond issues in time of
peace"

manent prosperity in the country witt,
