Hon. Stephen Il. Elkins, of West
Virginia, in recent talk with the Chi
cago Inter Ocean was very frank about
the tariff and the silver mine owners
Hear what he said: 1.-The Republican
candidate for the presidency was the
natural outcome Of the operations of
the Democratic tariff for revenue only
The masses of the Republican party,
the business men and laboring men,
nominated Major Mckinley because he
represented their idea of a champion
of protection to American industries
and workingmen. This great central
idea that dominated that nomination
must not be abandoned. The tariff is
one of the great issues of this campaign
and cannot be dropped. The money
question just now seems to lead in
interest, and there is no disposition on
the part of any of the Republicans to
avoid this issue. The question is, Are
we in favor of opening the minis of the
United States to the free coinage of
the silver bullion of the world at twice
the value of that product? This question
will soon solve itself If the sensible
people of the country study it. If the
working men, business men and farm
ers Of this country can only realize
that the free coinage of silver is in the
interest of about 20, 900 producers of
silver, and can be no benefit to any
body else. they will settle the matter
most emphatically next November.
Being a silver producer myself l know
what the free coinage of the white
metal means. know that under the
recent silver purchasing act, the silver
producers of this country were paid by
the United States government about
Sl70, 900, 900 more than their product
was worth in the open markets of the
world. Free coinage will mean rep
etition Of this subsidy. The United
States government will simply pay a
bonus of about 100 per cent of the value
of silver bullion TO the mine owners of
this country and other countries as
we'll"

Must Have American Ships.

Reciprocity treaties undoubtedly lead
to close relations with those countries
with which we enter into commercial
advantages, but after all we have been
for years embarrassed by not being in
possession Of a merchant marine service,
and until the latter is encouraged by
our people upon the basis of gratuity
of some sort-term it subsidy if you
like-we will never be able to accom-
plish the objects involved in reciprocity.
The American ship carrying goods from
New York or from any port in the
United States to any foreign country
can be regarded almost as would re-
gard salesman who is travelling
throughout the country or world in our
interest. Jointly with marine service
we also must establish mutual banking
facilities. They are collateral necessi-
ties. George j. Seabury.

OPPOSED TO SUGAR.
BRYAN WON'T ASSIST AMERICAN suo-
Ar PRODUCERS.

Objects to Either . Asiunty or y Protscs-
ive rarin-Prefers aa Income Tax For
Raising Revenue - Wants Dependence
Upon Foreigners For Our supply.
In the house of representatives ON
Saturday, Jan. ID, 1894. Hon. William
j. Bryan of Nebraska made the follow
ing attack against our sugar producing
industry:
There is no reason for bounty
on sugar which will not apply to any
other agricultural product II the
bounty paid went to the farmer directly
instead of the manufacturer, he has as
much right to ask for a bounty on
wheat, oats, or cattle, as upon sugar,
beets, or cane: but so much Of the
bounty as goes to Nebraska finds its
way, not to the farmers, but to two
factories. If the people of Nebraska pay
their share Of federal taxation, the gov
eminent collects for the bounty from all
the people Of Nebraska about $1,000
and pays over to two corporations $76, :
900. It is thus seen that the state Of
receives and that while everybody pays
only the two factories receive.
~ have yet to learn the duty of a
representative if l am under any obliga-
ton to plead for two sugar factories be-
cause they receive large sums and dis
regard the rights of more than million
people because they pay in small
amounts. If / demand bounties for beet
sugar in my state, I cannot oppose
bounties and subsidies for industries in
other states, and thus, to secure special
advantage for two factories in Nebraska
/ must subject the people Of that state
to burdensome tax upon everything.
II dissent, too. from the position
taken by some, that we are compelled
by moral obligation to allow the
bounty to remain for the period named
in the present law. Such position is
wholly untenable. If the Fifty-frst con-
gress could pledge the revenues for the
government for 10 years, it could just
as we'll pledge them for 80 or 100
years, and surely no one will say that
one congress can thus give perpetual
bounty and impose obligations on sub
sequent legislatures. The present law
provided when the bounty should ter
inmate, but il could not guarantee its
continuance until that time If congress
cannot properly give bounty directly
TO the sugar industry, neither can it
properly impose a tax upon sugar for
the avowed purpose Of protecting the
sugar industry.
1T IS AS EASY TO JUSTIFY A
BOUNTY AS A PROTECTIVE TAR
IFF, AND IT is IMPOSSIBLE TO
JUSTIFY EITHER.
when was called upon to choose
between a tax upon sugar which would
raise the price Of it to every consumer
and bounty reduced gradually chose
the latter. preferred to let the bounty
fall by degrees and raise the needed rev.
enue in a way that, instead Of taxing
the poor man as much as the rich man
ON the same number of pounds of sugar
would make wealth bear its share of the
expenses of government In other
words, would rather give free sugar
to the people and make up the deficit
by an income tax "

The following is a terse statement
made by an investment house of what
the free coinage of silver would mean
in actual practice: Free, unlimited and
independent coinage at 16 to /, would
mean dollars worth only So cents. The
wage Garner and the man on salary
would be paid in these, thus cutting
his income down nearly one-half, and
every debtor could pay his creditor
with these deprecated dollars. If it
ever became evident that the American
people were so dishonest and so foolish
as to adopt such a policy there would
be rush to anticipate its effects. The
GOO millions gold in the country would
at once be boarded or exported, and
this enormous contraction would pre-
cipitate panic with all its dread Sc
quel of Frustrated business, idle indus
tries and unemployed labor In the
crash and subsequent readjustment to
the deprecated currency the rich
would get richer, the poor would be
poorer than ever, and it would require
a generation of organized agitation to
bring back wages TO their present rela-
tive purchasing power"
