The American Economist, pub
lished by the American Protective
Tariff League, has the following
to say about the discriminating
duty clause, by which goods that
come to this country by foreign
railroads or foreign ships, shall
pay an additional duty CT 10 per
cent:
1T is very amusing to observe
the struggles of the Free Trade
press to ascertain how the discrim-
mating duty clause was ''slipped
into" the new Tariff. There is
nothing strange about it. The
section as read, and as passed, was
submitted to every member of the
Ways and Means and Finance
Committee by the friends of
American shipping. The clause
was revised by United States
Senator Elkins of West Virginia,
and general information on this
subject was furnished to the mem.
bers of the committees together
with draft OF the section by The
AMERICAN PROTECTIVE TARIFF
LEAGUE. There was nothing of a
mysterious nature about the pro-
position; nothing accidental. It
was purely intentional, for the
sole purpose Of extending the
policy of Protection to American
transportation interests both by
by land and sea-
For many months the Economist
has been urging legislative action
that would discriminate in favor
Of American ships, and has pub
lished pages of tables to show that
if American commerce was carried
on in American ships the country
would gain millions Of dollars
annually. The Economist IS ap-
parently correct, ard the shipping
interests have as much right to
protection as any other.

During the last campaign the
continually attempted
to arouse the prejudice Of the mass
of the people against men Of more
than average means by declaring
that there was q vast conspiracy of
the "'capitaiistic class" to decrease
the price Of commodities, and in
crease the comparative value OF
the dollars. The Republican
leaders were charged with aiding
this scheme to crush down the
producers and enslave the debtors.
Since the Repu bllcan victory near
" all products have advanced in
price, such great staples as wheat,
corn, potatoes, oats, wool, cattle,
cotton and the leading products OF
the country have all increased in
value; in some cases nearly doub-
ling. Yet there is every appear
ance of pleasure and satisfaction
on the part Of the 'capitaIistfc
cl.sses'' and the creditors. No
man believes that the wealthy peo'
ple of the country regret the con-
|ditions that have brought pros
.perity to: the producers Of the
nation. A favorite comparison OF
the Popocrats was to tell the prloe
at which wheat sold when certain
government bonds were issued,
and then to show that it took a
great deal more VIII eat to pay those
bonds than it would at the time OF
issue. This was cited as proof
that the creditor class was carry
ing out a policy by which more
and more Of the products Of the
country were absorbed to pay debts
and the Republican party was
charged with favoring such 8
policy. Now that a Republican
D olicy is in torce it really would
take about half as much whe't tt
pay gwen amount of national
debt as it would two years ago,
And the Republican party is Ger
tainly pleased with the changed
condition, and are willing to as
sumo full responsibility for it
Then the private debtor, especial
|ly the farmer, was told that hi
products were being confscated te
pay debts, because it took more
products to pay them, than the
debt represented when it was
uegoti ated. But this year (unde'
the Republican rule that threaten
ed the enslaving of thu
debtors) it takes only one'half al
much wheat to pay a stated debt
as it would in 1896, and no one
has yet heard any Borrowing by
creditors, or regrets or apologies
by the Republican party.

TOWNE AND SILVER.

u. "A. IOWne, VINO was once III
congress from this district, made a
statement in recent issue Of the
Minneapolis Journal regardingthe
sympathy between prices of wheat
and silver. First he denies that
he ever said that prices Of wheat
and silver would at all times vary
in the market at the same time and
in the same direction. He then
enters into an elaborate talk to
show that when India had lots of
wheat to sell, and also had free
coinage Of silver, that the prices Of
silver and wheat would rise and
fall together. That argument
shows the sincerity of Towne and
other free silver converts in their
statements last tall. India hasnot
had free silver coinage since 1898,
and the conditions said to have
connected wheat and silver prices
had not existed for years. Until
after the conditions that bound
silver and wheat together had
ceased to exist c. A. Towne was
not free silverite. At about the
time free silver coinage was
stopped in India, Towne declared
in speech at Duluth that the
proposition to have the United
States attempt the free coinage Of
silver at the ratio of is TO-; 1
"bordered on financial lunacy. y
Since tn en- he has been elected to
congress as a sound money Re.
publican, has turned into free
silverite, deserted his party, and
been defeated for congress as a
fusion candidate Of the Democrats
and Populists. During the last
campaign he argued that the prices
of wheat and silver would rise and
fall together, but he now claims
that that condition applied to the
time when India had free coinage.
Free silver coinage had long since
ceased in India, yet Towne made
use Of an argument that he now
says was based on conditions that
did not exist in 1896 or had not
for years. The statement that
Towne makes in the Journal JUST.
fies the curiosity this paper ,ex.
pressed as to what ideas he would
express. It was such an absurd,
rambling and out.of:date attempt
to sustain a last years argument
that very few of the free silver
papers of the district have at.
tempted to reproduce it. In fact
most Of the papers in the district
that supported Towne last year
were not at heart in favor of free
silver but were forced into that
position by the action of their
party. They must recognize the
adsurdities of Towne's recent ex.
PLANTATION, and when their leader
is using such evasions and explana>
tions, it is not surprising that the
free silver press IS decidedly quiet
on the needs of free silver coinage
at 16 to 1. In his entire talk
Towne does not once refer to any
ratio, and he is liable at any time
now to explain that he never was
in; favor of any particular
ratio. The public will not be
more than amused by Towne's i'm.
pressive declaration that the cam.
paign OH the money question has
just begun. s'@."
