HIDDEN BLOW AT PROTECTION.
Danger That Lies in the Raid of the
Bryanites.


Bryanites.
Believers in the Republican and
American policy of protecting home in
dustries by duties on foreign merchan-
disc coming into competition with the
products of the United States, do not
half understand the degree of danger
that lies in the raid of the Bryanites
upon the money standard of this repub-
lie. The danger is much greater than
it apears to be at first glance.
All well informed men know that
Bryan is believer in free trade. They
are not ignorant of his ardent cham
pionship of the Wilson bill, when he
was a member of he house of represen-
tatives. They know the record of his
party, and they feel the crushing weight
today of it's tariff legislation in 1894.
This part of the country, at least, is
awake to the general danger of Demo-
cratic regulation of the duties on for
eign products. What the friends of pro-
lection do not perceive is the intimate
relation between the free coinage
movement and the well known emnity
of the Democratic party towards pro-
lection.
In whatever degree the free coinage
of the United States less valuable than
gold, the duties on imports would be re-
duced. If money should fall here to
the Mexican level, and 1t would go
there or Whereabouts, 1t would take
about half as much gold, which is the
money of Europe, to pay the duties on
any given quantities and kinds of for
eign merchandise as is now required. 1t
would be precisely like a reduction of
AZ per ce:t. IN the rates of duties, as far
as the obstacles in the way of foreign
producers trying to gain possession OF
the American market were concerned.
This statement refers to specific du-
ties, which are 80 on fixed quaint
ties of merchant. hat II would APP
ply to adj verlcrem duties, which are
gagged according 20 the price of the
imported articles in Europe, unless the
government of the United States should
stoop to the humiliating expedient of
calculating the value of foreign money
in United States currency, not on the
present scale, but one admitting a
heavy depreciation in the money of
this proud republic. The whole effect
would be a great reduction of duties
and much easier admission OF foreign
merchandise.

States His Reasons For Opposing the Chi
cago Platinr.n-He Is n Democrat and
Therefore cannot IndOrse the Doctrines
of the PopElists-The Free Silver Agita-
ton Is a Menace to the Business Life Of
the Nation-A Disturbed Currency Makes
Prosperity Impossible.
Hon. Edward J. Phelps, ex-minister
10 England, has written the following
letter, in which he urges all true Demo-
Gratis to join in defeating the candidates
who stand on the un-Democratic plat
form adopted at Chicago:
regard the pending presidential elec-
ton as presenting the most dangerous
crisis that this country has ever encoun-
tered. 1t does not, in my Judgment, in
volve any political controversy nor any
question Of the supremacy of party, for
such considerations are lost sight of in
the far greater gravity of the situation.
The real issue is one upon which all
patriotic men and all who are interested
in the prosperity and welfare of the
country should find themselves upon
one side and opposed to common en-.
envy. The attack that we have to resist
is not upon the policy but upon the life
Of the nation, for they would take its
life who destroy the means by which it
lives-the business of many thousands
and the industry of millions. On these
we are all, whether rich or poor, high
or low, alike dependent. Those who are
independently rich are very few in pro-
portion to the 20, 600, 900 of American
people, the vast majority of whom gain
their living by some form or other of
useful employment. That there should
be prosperity in some Of these employ
ments and not in others, or among one
class Of people and not among others, is
impossible, for they all rest upon "a
common foundation and are affected by
the same considerations. Business" is
a generic term and comprehends all
lawful industries. When it is stimulat-
ed, all profit; when it is depressed, all
suffer. No part of the body can escape
the effect of general paralysis or fail
to get the benefit of general good
health When business flourishes, the
laborer is in demand; when it declines,
he stands idle in the market place.
Business of whatever sort in coun-
try like ours, rich in resources, full Of
energy and vitality, with all harvests

everywhere reaoy Tor inc slcKio, res,s
chiefly upon two factors-publlc conf
dence and sound and stable currency.
When either Island much more when
both are-impaired CT even grayely
threatened, business suffers, general de-
preston comes, labor declines, and the
wolf approaches many door. Without
confidence there can be no credit, no
enterprise. Capital is boarded, sent
abroad or lies idle, and all industries
diminish or cease, and the surest way
the world has ever seen to destroy conf
dence is to debase the currency and to
make it uncertain from day to day how
much dollar is worth and how much
it is going to count for in the near fu-
ture-to take away, as is now proposed,
one-half its value to begin with and to
set the other half to fluctuating to an
indefinite extent, with the rising and
the setting of the sun and the approach
Of every storm.
There is, therefore, in my Judgment,
no man more criminal or who is worse
public enemy than he who engages in
or countenances that infamous and de-
structive attempt, because the less a
man has, or the less he earns, the more
necessary it is to him that the value of
that little should be maintained and
made sure, and that the few dollars in
his pocket should be as good dollars as
there are. AS well might the steerage
passengers in vessel in midocean,
weary of their privations, be melted by
some mischief maker to scuttle the ship
in order to drown the inmates of the
more luxurious cabins, unconscious that
they themselves must be equally the VIC
Tins Of the common calamity.
The party is already hopelessly dis
rupted Oh the issue presented. We can
not follow both its divisions at the same
time, however desirable it might be,
since they are moving in opposite direc-
tions. On the one side are the old time
honored principles of the party, under
which all it's great traditions have been
generated, and which all it's illustrious
leaders have advocated. Chief and fore
most among these principles always in
times past has been the maintenance of
sound and honest money, of dollars that
are dollars, of u national stamp upon
them that does not lie.
On the same side are its most trusted
present statesmen and leaders, and a
very large proportion at the least of its
better and most instructed, element.
Which way shall we go, then, since we
cannot go both ways? With its states
men or with its camp followersP With
its principles or with its organization
stampeded and graded by it's enemies?
In which direction lies the future of the
party if it is to have any future? And
who are they who will control it here.
after, when this tyranny shall be over
past?" Let no man be afraid to be right
on this question, for it is the right that
will triumph in the end, whether it re-
forms the party or destroys it.

that had there been no tariff disturb

A Des Moines man is advertising
that any one may have grapes from
his vineyard at one-fourth of cent
per pound If they will do their own
picking. 1t may be that this fall in
the price of grapes is not due to the
appreciation of the gold dollar, but to
the law of supply and demand. In that
case Bryan will doubtless promise the
grape growers that IL he is elected he
will have this law repealed, too.
