The speech Senator Nelson, of Min
nesota, made in the Senate fe w day
ago shows that he is among that large
number that has been educated by
the events of the past FIVE years. He
declared in his speech that the only
way to stop the outflow of gold was to
turn the balance of trade in this coun-
try's favor by increasing the tariff
rates, and he also called attention to
the fact that while the wool growing
industry of this country had been
ruined tens of thousands of dollars
had been paid for wool grown abroad.
In 1890 Mr.. Nelson was a member
of the House of Representatives, and
when the Mckinley bill was before
that body NE was conspicuous by his
opposition to it. The praise the free
trade organs bestowed on him then
was so sycophantlc as to be nausea
ting. He was held up as broad
minded man who would not surrender
his principles to his party. If Mr..
Nelson kept scrap book then he
may find some compensation in read
ing those praises now as he listens to
the abuse the same organs are sure to
heap on him.
