Favors Protection and Mckinley.

Henry {. Payne, Of Milwaukee,
who has recently returned from
Europe spoke as follows about
Protection, Mckinley and factory
interests over there:
"Everywhere in Europe there is
the greatest interest taken in
American politics. Of course,
they are all heartily in favor of
free trade, and think our country
makes great mistake in adopting
the policy of protection They
look with great anxiety to the i'm
mediate future, and are most
earnestly opposed to the return of
the Republicans to power, and es-
pecially to the nomination Of Nc
klnley and his election to the
presidency, fearing that this means
a return to the old policy of pro-
lection, which they think would be
disastrous to European interests.
In many places I was shown
factories which are now in full
operation and prosperous on &C
count of the American market
having been opened to them, and
which, was told, return to pro-
lection policy in America would
mean their closing down and
throwing out Of work many me-
chanics. Being a protectionist
myself, my answer invariably was
that Americans felt it their duty to
protect and give employment to
their own people rather than to
those living in Europe, and that
our people had suffered enough
and certainly had learned a lesson
from recent events which would
bring about, beyond a doubt, a
change in the political policy of
this country and once more start

FACTS FOR FARMERS TO STUDY,

4 -
Farmers will be interested in
some figures and facts which Hon.
loci P. Heatwole, of Minnesota,
recently presented in the House OF
Representatives showing the effect
of the German Tariff upon their
prosperity as compared with the
Mckinley Tariff period. Under
the Mckinley Tariff the duty on
barley was increased from ten to
thirty cents per bushel and, as
result, the importations Of barley
fell from upward of eleven million
bushels to less than one million
bushels. During the time that
the Mckinley law was in opera
ton the farmers of the United
States increased their annual barley
production by seventeen million
bushels.
Heretofore Canada had been
our greatest competitor IN the
barley market, but, since the
repeal of the Mckinley law,
Russian barley has been sent to
this country. In addition to this
the Canadian Government is offer
ing every inducement to settlers in
the section adjoining the United
States, lying northwest of the
Dakotas, where the condition for
barley raising is especially favor
able.
In the year following the enact
ment Of the Mckinley law, the
imports Of barley fell off by more
than one-half, by reason of the
increased duty upon that article.
They continued to fall year by
year until, in the last year of the
Mckinley law, the imports
amounted to less than one million
bushels. In the very first year OF
the German law, however, the i'm
ports of barley increased by 200
per cent.
The increase in the imports OF
other farm products, since the
repeal of the Mckinley law, has
been equally great. In seeds they
doubled in the first year after the
repeal Of the Mckinley law;
breadstufs increased IS per cent;
in hay there was an increase OF
200 per cent; in feathers an in
crease Of 400 per cent; IN hemp
an increase Of 1000 per cent; in
wool an increase from S6,IO7,438
to S33,77o,I59.
Mr. Heatwole, in his remarks
upon this subject, made some
interesting suggestions, too, about
the effect upon our export trade
of the repeal of the Mckinley law,
saying
SO much has been said in the
past by Democratic orators on the
stump and in the Halls Of Con-
gress concerning the great results
that would accrue to American
agriculturists by Free Trade or a
reduction Of duties by reason Of
an increased demand for American
products, that some figures on this
line are pertinent. Throw open
your ports to the world, and you
will capture the markets of the
world" they have asserted time
and again. We have tried that
long enough to see how it works.
The following table shows what
has been the result, SO far as the
exports Of many agricultural
products are. concerned. The
figures given are for the year
ended June 80, 1894, under a
Republican Tariff, and the year
ended June 50, 1895, under the
Democratic Tariff:

The Madison correspondent o.
the Oshkosh Northwestern is
authority for the statement that
there is no probability Of Gov
Upham's health rendering his can
didacy for a denomination improb-
able, and that the Governor looks
forward to, a denomination with
confidence, and will demand it as
an endorsement of his administra-
ton.
With his home county Wood
against him, and the Eighth
Congressional District practically
solid against him, the state con-
vention would make fine
spectacle Of itself renominating
him. If Gov Upham is not wise
enough to see the hand writing
upon the wall plainly written, it is
to be hoped that the Party does.
If neither do, the people will
teach them both valuable lessons
in political history. A hint to the
wise is sufficient.

Wherever the German Tariff is

Wherever the German Tariff is
p1nching hardest, and there are few
spots in our broad land where 1t is
not pinching, the cause of Repub-
lican Protection is prospecting
gloriously.
The enthusiasm which McKin-
ley's name everywhere awakens is
one of the best answers to those
who claim that the tariff will not
be an issue in the next campaign

Wausau Record: The Record
has also heard this rumor and
believes there is something in it.
Should Gov. Upham decide to
retire from politics at the expiration
of his present term, there will
probably be several candidates for
the position he now holds, the
result being very pretty but not
illnatured fight. Should he deter
mine to stand for a nomination the
probabilities are that there will be
but one candidate to oppose him,
and the fight will be to finish for
blood.

The effort to discredit the inter

McKinley's work in the Tariff bill
of 1890, which bears his name, is
discreditable to its New York

ton.

How many American mills
would have been kept busy, how
many American Workingmen
would have been employed at good
wages during 1896, if foreign
made goods had been kept out Of
this country, and our home people
had been given an opportunity to
make those goods? Think this
over and discuss it with your
Free-Trade neighbor.

Since the Republican party
went out of power there has been
a shrinkage of at least 3 per
cent. in the manufactures of this
country. That means a reduction
of one-fourth of the labor forces
OF the United States. That means
the withdrawal of one-fourth of
the wage money Of the country
from daily circulation. 1t means
a reduction of one-fourth in the
fund which was formerly invested,
to very large extent, in Arneri-
can agricultural products. The
price Of American wheat went
down in exact proportion to the
closing down Of American facto-
rles. It is an absolute fact,
supported by statistics, sad as it is
startling, that the sale Of meat,
wheat, corn and all other agricul-
tural products for consumption in
the United States has fallen off in
the average reduction in the
American price.-F1on. John NJ.

Nebraska.

Some congressman hold that
because there is an anti Protection
majority in the Senate, and an anti
Protection President in the White
House, no attempt should be made
to increase the revenues unless it
can be done squarely upon Re-
publican Protection lines. 1t
should be remembered that, while
increases III Protective duties are
in the right direction, any increases
upon competitive products that
will tend to help the Treasury out
of bad muddle are now in order.

Under Protection we derived a
large revenue upon comparatively
small volume of imports of wool.
Under Democratic Tariff we de-
rive no revenue from very large
volume. Under Protection the
farmer commanded a good price
for his wool, and consequently was
a large buyer Of goods; under
Democratic Tariff he gets a low
price, and therefore is a small pur-
chaser.-Chicago Inter=Qcean, Feb,

Black River Falls Banner: AS
an evidence Of the feeling there is
in Jackson county against the
denomination Of Governor Upham
we will give the substance of a
conversation which took place
between representative of the
Banner and a prominent farmer in
one Of the staunchest Republican
towns in the county. Upon being
asked if he thought his town could
be induced to send an Upham
delegation to the next county con-
vention he responded that not
enough Upham men could be found
in the town to form such a delega-
ton. Do you think this feeling
would be carried to the polls in
your town if Mr.. Upham is nomi-
mated?
Il am satisfied that the vote
against him at the polls would be
practically unanimous if the cleo
ton could be held Immediately
after the convention, but pressure
Of the campaign may have a
restricting influence upon some. I
know it will have no such influence
upon me, and | feel satisfied that
it will be the same with many
Others"
The gentleman with whom this
conversation was held is one OF
the best known Republicans in
Jackson county, and he was not a
candidate for a state job, nor was
anybody else from his town.

There has not been moment
of time since the election of Mr..
Cleveland, in the fall Of 1892, that
farmers of this country could find
any consolation in the situation.
The boosted "Wider foreign
markets" which were to be given
the producers of this country in
exchange for opening up our own
market to foreign competition,
have failed to appear. The Ameri-
can farmer, who thought he was
not having a fair chance under
the Protective tariff of 1892,
knows better now. The Protec-
ton sentiment is quite as strong
IN the rural districts to-day as it is
in the biggest manufacturing dis
tricts in the land.

Superior Leader: Gov. Upham

Superior Leader: Gov. Upham
is at sanitar;unn and it is rumored
that he will not be candidate for
denomination on account of his
poor health. Every one will hope
of course to see him recover his
health, but it will be healthy for
the republican party if he does
really conclude not to again be a
gubernatorial candidate.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1896-04-09

Black River Falls Banner: Some
papers are talking that Gov,
Upham, who recently went south
on account Of the condition of his
health, may, if he fails to find
improvement in the trip, conclude
upon his return, to withdraw from
candidacy for a second term as
governor. There are some who
are disposed to believe this means
that Mr.. Upham and his leading
supporters have discovered that
the public sentiment is such that
he will surely meet defeat and
might as we'll find a graceful way
out; but the Banner is disposed to
think that it is an unfounded sur
mise or ruse to stay the opposi-
ton for a time.

Marinette Eagle: A rumor is
out that owing to poor health Gov.

are many who believe his declina-
ton would be a good thing for the
party who hope the rumor may
prove true.
