THE TARIFF AS AN ISSUE.
Protection stiu the Main Thing with the
People.

1t is quite apparent that the demo-
cratic managers, as well as the repub
lican "bosscs" who are opposed to Gov.
Mckinley, greatly underrate the at
tachment of the American people to the
protective principle. Their belief than
they can relegatc this question to tho
rear in the coming campaign affords
conclusive evidence of this fact. Moth
ing could be more false than the pre-
tense that the tariff question is OF no
real Importance. The truth is that
many, whether rightly or wrongly.
regard il as the paramount issue await
ing decision. The demand for the NOM
inatior OF Mai. Mckinley derives its
specific force from the fact that he is
the representative and embodiment of
the protective principle and is associ-
atcd in the public mind with the policy
which has contributed to the develop
ment of our industries and TO the pro
motion of our general prosperity. 1t
is this work which draws to him es-
peciully the support of the working
classes in every industrial state of the
union, and which, at the same time
cnlists the sympathy and support of our
great manufacturing interests. 1t
could not well be otherwise than that
the people should desire the modiiica'
ton of our existing tariii policy. 1t
WAS claimed for the Wilson bill, when il
was enacted, that it would speedily vim
dicate itself to the public, 1t would,
we were assured, greatly increase The
national prosperity. The fact is, how
ever, that from the very start 1t has
proved itself more elIcctual in produc
iEg deficit than in supplying the re"
rnue necessary to meet the expenses o.
| the government. The treasury depart
ncnt has been compelled TO meet lt'
necessities by the sale of bonds, and thu

goes without saying that every intelll

that economic conditions are, If any
