Tariff the Important Issue.

The money question, or free silver
is subordinate to the greater or UNDER
lying question of the Tariff, because
upon Protective Tariff largely de-
ponds our business interests; whether
without it the country can be pros
porous; whether we will have work
for our people at home at good wages
or send it abroad to be done; whether
we will build up our home markets
and give employment to our own
people. or help foreign markets and
give employment to foreign wage earn
ers.
Trade existed before money. Nom
ey does not make trade and business,
it only facilitates both; nor does it
make a country rich especially mon
ey that does not have intrinsic value
and not in demand by the people of
the world Paper money does not
add 10 the wealth of nation beyond
the point where it can be redeemed in
good money, nor does silver money,
apart from its intrinic value, beyond
the point where it can alse be redeem

1t would seem, then that the most
important thing to be done is to first
adopt an industrial policy winch viii
promote trade, commerce. business.
progress, prosperity. building rail-
road and running our factories, mills
and mines day and night. giving en-
plovment to our reople at fair wages
and then discuss the kind of money
we should lave.
Il i estimated that our imports Of
cheap goods manufactured il Europe
in 1895 would have given one-half
million Of American ware earners en-
ployment for a year,equal to$l50, 900,
600 ii wages. The Wilson bill took
this employment from American wage
earners and paid this vast sum to the
wage earners Of other countries.
The important question to be decid-
ed in the present campaign is that Il
a return TO Protective Tariff as the
best means Of raising revenue to pay
the current expenses OF the govern
ment, MAINTAIN the national credit and
reduce the public debt, and at the
same time protectAmeriean industries
to the extent Of imposing duties equal
to the difference between the wages
paid in Europe and in the United States

the great American doctrine. one that
has made the people happy, the coun-
try prosperous and the leading MINING

Of Sept. 17,is as follows: The Repub-

cock. the present incumbent. who
has good record as an uneompromis-
ing opponent of free silver coinage.
AS Republican leader in the Wiscon-
sin Legislature of 1891, he supported a
joint resolution emanatiug froIu the
Democratic side Of the house and OPP
posing the passage of free silver bill
then before congress. He voted flor
the repeal of the Sherman silver law.
And from the beginning of the present
campaign he has recognized the finan-
cial question as the paramount issue.
And upon that issue-there being no
other sound money candidate in the
tield-he is entitled to the votes of all
who believe in keeping American
money up to its present standard
