THE BURNING QUESTION.
TARIFF

The following from Protection and
Prosperity" shows the 'reformers" in
their true light.
This Is a title appropriated or mis-
appropriated by the advocates of free
trade in their recent attacks upon the
industries of the United States. When
the agitation in favor of free trade was
renewed in 1880, the free trade club of
New York city, changed It's name to
the Reform club" Instead OF food
ing the United States with literature
bearing the stamp of the Golden club,
as had heretofore occurred, and carry
ing on the warfare against protection
in the name of free trade, they brand
ed their publications Tariff Reform"
and styled themselves Tariff Reform
ers." Although persistently urging the
doctrines of free trade, by changing
their name and denying their %parentage
IL became more easy to deceive and
misled the American people. To the
credit Of southern democrats 1t should
be said LAT such tactics have not been
practiced by them. They have stood
up like men and when they have meant
free trade they have said it and they
have been saying it all the time. The
term itself involves a begging of the
entire question, for if the principles ad-
vocated by the protectionists are more
beneficial, wise and just than those on
tended for by free traders then legisla-
ton, on the lines of the protective pol
icy becomes Tariff Reform legisla-
ton. The words Free trade" were
known to be SO Objectionable to the
American people that the deceptive
style of advertising was resorted to fol-
the purpose of %concealing the ultimate
purpose Of the movement which was
the establishment of the British sys.

NO WONDER RAILROAD MEN OP-
POSE BRYAN.

FUSE BRYAN.
The Railroad Gazette points out to
its readers what the logical effect OF
the Chicago platform would be upon
the SOC, 900 or o men employed on
the railroads of the United States. The
populistic idea which now dominates
Bryan and all his supporters is, that
the government shall own and operate
all railroads. II 1t were to operate
them upon strictly business principles
and upon the merit system it might not
be so bad. at least for the employees,
whatever effect it might have upon the
taxpayers and the travelling public: but
in connection with this idea comes in
the other one OF fixed terms and rota-
ton in office lauded in Mr.. Bryans
speeches. These 800. 900 employees un-
der government control would be sub
ject to all the pains and penalties which
In the past have SO frequently attended
a change of administration. 1t Is not
likely that they would all be discharg-
ed who served under a former admin,
istration and their places filled with
new men right away; hat would be so
monstrous as to be suicidal; but men
with political pulls would work their
way into places already filled by bet
ter men. The service would suffer, the
public would suffer, and the honest.
faithful employe. would suffer, while
the political stoker and switchmen
and engineer would get what they
wanted and would understand that f.
deity to party, and not efficiency and
fidelity in the service, was the condi-
ton upon which they were placed and
protected i'm their positions. We do not
believe the railroad men want this or
want to receive pay for the service they
now perform in a cheaper dollar than
they are getting.

A JAPANESE LESSON IN SILVER

A JAPANESE LESSON IN SILVER.
New York Post: There is an object
lesson to be had out Of the experience
Of the japanese. In free silver coinage,
which I find very effective in the State
Of California in clearing up the doubts
Of the workingmen on the coinage ques-
ton.
The japanese yen contains 374.75
grains of silver. The American dollar
contains 371.25. The Japanses SO gold
piece contains 231.40 grains Of pure
gold, while the American SO gold piece
contains 1922 grains. The weights.
therefore, are quite alike. Japan legal
ly keeps the 16 to l ratio.
If, however, you enter any one of the
Kobe or Nagasaki, and hand owe a SO
japanese gold piece. or an American
SO gold piece, the dealer will return
to you, without hesitation and as a mat
ter of business, not 10 silver dollars,
but $3.50 in silver. II you hand him
10 silver dollars and ask for gold he re-
turns to you about IS in gold. In spite
of the ratio Of 16 to 1 established by
law, the dealing is put entirely on the
commercial ratio, and no one disputes
It.
The japanese who use foreign pro-
ducts see the difference when they are
to pay 60 cents per pound
for coffee and Is cents per pound for
American butter.
