thorized. A few years afterward President
Jefferson, upon discovering that the bull
lion price OF the silver dollar had depre-
ciated to about 81 cents, and that the
shrinkage in value was driving gold from
the country, ordered the mints to discon-
unue the coinage of silver dollars. and con-
sequently, with the exception of 1000 silver
dollar pieces, not silver dollar was coined
by the minis between the years 1906 and
1889.
Mr. Jefferson was quick to discover that
olmetallism could not be maintained by
the United States independent of the COM
mercial nations when either metal as bull
lion fell below its coin value. He readily
saw that If the mints remained open to
the free coinage of the white metal, inde-
pendent OF other commercial countries,
this country would very soon be upon a
SILVER monetary basis with the dollar
representing two separate and distinct
values.
Mr. Jefferson did not believe that the
parity OF the metals could be maintained
by merely issuing an edict that il should
be maintained, and when the modern
democrat tries to prove his insane vaga-
ries by quoting from the founder OF the
democratic party, he is either ignorant or
oishonest. Undoubtedly, President JEFF
ierson was a bimetallist, but he realized
tnat commerce is very exacting in its de-
mands, and that it will accept only money
that stands for the same value every
where. Were Mr.. Jefferson alive to-day
there is no doubt at all that he would be
found in accord with the Republican
partys plan to establish bimetallism,
which is to call together all parties in in
terest and have them declare that q
oimetallic monetary system shall prevail
everywhere throughout the commercial
world.

WHO PAYS THE DUTIES 2

A free-traoe contemporary puts a ques-
ton to protectionists which it appears to
think they dare not attempt to answer.
The question is, "Who pays the duties If
the consumer does not? And if the con-
sumer pays them, how is it that You say the
foreigner pays the duties2" The trouble
with our contemporary is it jumps at con-
clusions without looking to see where it
jumps from or wha. it is likely to light
upon. But the doctrine OF free trade is
the enemy of logic and will not permit ITS
use In the analysis of any economic prob
lem, and hence it is not surprising that the
campaign cry of 'our people pay the
duties that are collected under protection {"
and 1.-The nearer free trade the country
gets the cheaper will the consumer get his
supplies should be heard in the land.
The economic principle upon which the
Repu blican party's demand for protection
is based certainly does contemplate the
payment of customs duties by the importer
and, we may say, the policy of the party
has no other thought than that the tax
upon goods and wares of foreign manufac-
ture consumed in this country shall be
paid by the manufacturer. The object of
protective tariff is twofold. The first
purpose is to afford such announcement
TO home capital that it will feel justified in
undertaking the work of Transforming do
mestic raw materials into merchantabIe
articles which in turn would operate to
give continuous employment to home me-
chanical skill and Drawn at wages which
shall leave reasonable margin of profit
wherewith TO provide a home under indi-
xvt1 1r,al Z
turn again make the United States the
leading manufacturing nation. as it is now
the leading agricultural nation. The Sec
ond purpose of protective tariff is to
oblige those foreigners who would COM
pete with us in our own markets 70 pay
tax for the privilege.
Ii duty were put upon tea, coffee, rub
Der or any other article of consumption
which We do not produce in this country
certainly our consumers would pay the
tax, but the theory of the Republican
tariff doctrine is that all articles of com.
merce which cannot be produced to ad-
vantage in this country should not be du.
liable and being on the free list their cost TO
our consumers would be at the lowest point.
On the other hand, as to articles we can
manufacture from our raw material. such
as iron, woolen goods, cotton fabrics and
multitude OF other com modities, the
Republican party would levy tax upon
goods and wares of like kind manufac-
tured IN other countries. That is to saw.
importers OF foreign-msde articles would
have to pay tax before they could enter
our markets, and the tax would be so ad-
iusted that our industries could maintain
the American scale of wages for our work
ing people and still leave them profit on
their investment. BY that means goods
and wares for home consumption would
not be arbitrarily advanced, but good
prices would have TO be maintained to
hold the wage schedules pR to Yhsre,

GENUINE BIMETALLISM.
Tulare Register.

Let it never be forgotten that the Repub-
lican party of this Nation is not committed to
the single gold standard as preferred theory
of money; that it stands now as it has ever
stood for bimetallism, but that it believes that
the only bimetallism possible is international
bimetallisln and that independent free coinage
would not only not result in bimetallism but
in silver mOnomotsllism, which nobody
wants and which would yield all our gold up
to Europe and postpone real bimetallism in
definitely. Ali Republicans are bimetalliSts
and the existing standard is adhered to only
until such time as true bimetallism can be OBJ
tanned in the only way possible-by interna-
tional agreement
