wEAK-KNEED DEFENCE.

AS time goes on il becomes more and
more evident that there was but one
reason for the passage of the Dingley
bill, namely that Republicans wanted
it, and had voted to pass it. 1t was
claimed that foreign imports were
flooding our markets, but the statistics
for 1897 show that imports for that
year were smaller than during any year
under the Mckinley OIL. Moreover, i'm
ports Of manufactures, which Republi-
cans dread, were scarcely greater than
our exports of the same class of COM
modities, and amounted to only about
8 per cent. of our total consumption of
such commodities. The revenue from
the new tariff is not as great as that
from the old tariff in spite of the enor-
nous increase in the revenue tax on
raw sugar, which might have been en-
acted without any alteration in our
tariff policy.
Finally, the Japanese bugbear has
been exposed, for imports from the
Oriental country Of Japan, instead Of
increasing and threatening to flood the
country, has actually fallen off during
the past year in spite of importations
In anticipation Of the passage of the
new tariff. The proposed tariff was
driven through by brute force. and the
worst OF it is that the votes to pass it
did not represent the majority OF the
people Mckinley was elected and the
majority in Congress secured because
a large number of Democrats supported
the Republicans on the financial issue,
although they were bitterly opposed 90
an increase in the tariff.
Our. friends, the Republicans, appear
to think that there is but one side to a
question and that that is the Republi-
can side Politicians who are prone to
make use Of shortcuts against their op-
ponents are quick to cry out when their
own methods are applied to them
selves.

DoDGING THE ISSUE.

The wrlgglings of the Republican
press over the financial question are
amusing. The banking and business
men Of the country are demanding re-
forms, declaring that the currency is in
a critical condition. The secretary OF
the treasury has advocated reforms,
and has promised them in the name OF
the administration. President Mckinley
acknowledged in his inaugural address
that reforms were necessary, and again
by sending his currency message to
Congress, although he stultiied himself
by sending it when Congress was about
to adjourn.
Right here is the difficulty. Mr. Nc
Kinley shuffled on an important issue
and the Republican party also wants tc
shuttle, and the party press must de-
fend the party position. Accordingly
its readers are told that agitation Just
now will not only do no good, but wil
even do harm by casting dis
credit on the currency, by stirring NJ
the Bryanites, and by producing dis
turbance when the country needs rest
besides nothing can be done now be
cause the Senate is opposed to any re
form and has free silver majority.
But the currency agitation will no
stop, because Republicans refuse t
take it up. If they choose to pursue an,
plan and to pursue 1t with vigor, the,
could carry it out even II it were op
posed by the free silver men. TIL
