THE SELECTION OF SHERMAN,
Boss Hanas's Fine Hand Again BECOMES
Apparent.


There is considerable criticism Of
Maj. McKinley's selection of Senator
Sherman for the post of secretary OF
state. II is well-known fact now that
the selection was made solely for the
purpose of making n place for Mark
Hanna, who aspires TO be n senator or
the United States, and while II may DO
presumed that the president-elect feels
that Mr.. Sherman Is in every way eligi-
BILE for the position 10 which he will
without doubt be appointed, it In still
fact that serious question is raised az
to his fitness for the very delicate work
he may reasonably expect TO be called
upon to perform. OF course. there may
be a spice of partisanism in the criticism
that is leveled at the proposed appoint
ment, but it is doubtful that it can DO
fully accounted for in this way. The
Washington correspondent of the st.
Louis Republic says among other
things:
1.-The selection OF John Sherman for the
secretaryship OF state creates the most
profound surprise In Washington. and es-
pecially among the senators who have had
to do with Sherman. day In and day out.
for years. 1t Is rather ungracious to say
anything regarding a man as venerable
in years as Mr.. Sherman, and one. too. Il
must be said who has rendered such con-
spicuous public services. But II Is q matter
Of common notoriety here, well known to
all the senators of all political parties. that
Mr.. Sherman has by no means the intel
lectuzl strength he had years ago. He has
been falling for two years with great
rapidly. Physically he is still strong and
active. Mentally he has been growing
feeble for some time. and notably since the
last session Of congress"
1t would seem, in view of this, that
the exigencies of Ohio politics fall short
of justifying the selection Mr.. McKin-
icy has made There is a possibility
that the real purpose of Mr.. Sherman's
clear at present that Mr.. Hanna can
succeed in his efforts to reach the sem
ate, but the Mansfield statesman will
doubtless receive the honor intended
for him in spite of the miscarriage of
the plans for Mr.. Hanna's exaltation.
If the worst shall be realized in respect
to Mr.. Sherman it is to be hoped that
the presidcnt-elect will be found to have
been more fortunate in his selections of
men TO fill the other important places in
his official family. 1t was broadly hint
ed some months ago by an eminent re-
publican that Maj. Mckinley is
weak, an impressionable man, and II
this is true. the president-elect oughtto
have some strCog men about him.
Weakness from TOP to bottom of the adj
ministration would prove most unfor~
tunate.-Binghamto IN. W Leader.

American manufacturers are con-
stantly complaining Of their inability to
compete with the manufacturers of Eu-
rope. and are demanding protective tar
ifs to shield them from European COM
petition. The nations Of the world ac-
cept their statements for truth, and
when they have need Of manufactured
goods they avoid America and Ameri-
can manufacturers, because Americans
have proclaimed to the world that they
cannot make goods and sell them as
cheaply as Europeans can. They do not
tell the truth when they make such
statements, and the American peopl<
know it, but the people Of other coun
tries do not.-Springfeld (O) Demo

PRODUCTION OF WEALTH.
The Protectionist Idea of bringing Aboss
Better Times.

1.-THE immediate mission OF the re-
publican party" remarks n republican
organ, sis TO start up idle factories,
to encourage investment and produc-
ton. to furnish work at good wages
to unemployed labor"
An excellent mission, but how Is 1t
to be achieved? Simply by the exer-
else of the taxing power of the gov
eminent Nothing could be easier.
Taxes are TO be levied on things that
the people need, for the benefit of the
men with factories who can convince
the leaders of the party that they
should be helped BY the simple proc
ess OF placing a tax on articles manu-
featured abroad, the people are COM
PEELED to buy at home and the home
manufacturer can charge the value
OF the article plus the tariff and thus
be encouraged by huge profits to keep
at work. These profits, of course, for
the public welfare he will divide with
the men he employs.
The production of wealth is merely
a matter of putting a governments
fingers into the pocket of one citizen
and transferring the money there to
the pocket of another. Prosperity can
be made by forcing all citizens TO chip
in and pay for the running of n fac
tory which another citizen would like
TO run, if big enough profits are as
sured. Hundreds of prospeross citi-
zens, with millions, can be pointed out
who are living proofs of the effective
ness Of the tariff as promoter of pros
perity. With a bounty on goods and
premium on idleness, factories will
be shut down, now and then, by wicked
combines. but the taxing power is I'M
limited and the favored manufacturer
never suffers for prosperity while tho
substance of his fellow citizens, who
must buy from him at his price, holds
cut. He can live in q castle, ride in a
coach and have money to burn.
But if it is the mission of party,
through the control of our govern
ment's taxing power, to start factories
ond keep labor employed at good wages.
why this indirection and the trouble
and annoyance of making up discrimi-
mating duties? Why not have govern
ment factories for the unemployed?
If we must have paternalism, let Us
have straight, honest, up-to-date pater-
naiism. freed from the ancient folly and
wrong of monopoly privileges Let us
Re rid Of the tax-made millionaires and
give the money to the unsupported
laborers.-St. Louis Republic.

HOW ABOUT THE REvENUE7
The Reciprocity Theory Of High Protee-
ton vtsionaries-

Reciprocity" says a protection or
gan, lis free trade in dissimilar and
nop.competitive products" That is,
one country will admit free articles
which It does not produce in considera-
lion OF the others letting in free what
the latter does not produce.
Then why was the third section OF
the Mckinley bill called reciprocity
section? This section threatened retail
iation by taxing sugar, molasses, coffee,
tea and hides, unless the countries pro-
ducing them let in our exports at rates
which the president thought were fair.
Are sugar. molasses, coffee, tea and
hides commodities which we do not pro-
duce? On the contrary. we produce
sugar. molasses and hides, three out of
five of them. AS no retaliation was at
tempted against countries producing
tea, we may eliminate that and say that
three out of four were articles which
we produce. The definition quoted
shows that the so-called Mckinley reci-
procity, devised by Senator Aldrich, WINS
not reciprocity at all, since it was not
mainly in products which this country
does not produce.
But suppose we let in free all the CON-
modities which this country does not
produce in sufficient quantity TO sup
ply the wants of the people. That lets
in sugar free, both raw and refined.
II let's in wool free. because we produce
but little more than half the wool need
Cd hv- ho &c lot ~
other articles to which the same remark
will doubtless apply, but these two are
imported in large quantities. None OF
this class of articles will yield dollar
of revenue. OF course, then. you mus,
pet all the customs revenue from ar
ticles imported that compete with our
domest tic products.
What is the result? Having put the
noncompetitive article on the free list
you must ret revenue hy taxes on com
petitivc articles. $50 much the better
says the too hasty protectionist, "since
we can thus tax competitive articles al
the higher" But they are already
taxed well-nigh up to the point whe~
importations cease. Ifyou put on more

you go as far as the protected inter
ests demand you will stop Importation
altogether and cut off all the revenue.
The notion that higher tariff means
more revenue is obsolete to large ex
tent. Many of our tariff rates prohibit
importatons in any quantity wortl

A USE FOR TRAMPS.
In the south Weary wraEGIes Is Com
PEELED to Build Roads.

Visitors to the south have probably
noticed that there are several southern
states in which tramps are rarely seen
The reason why these states have such
immunity from tramps, while Massa-
chusetts is overrun with vagabonds Of
the criminal class, is Simply 10 be found
in the different methods of treatment
Of such criminals. In these southern
states, where trGmps are so seldom
seen, it is the uniform practice TO put
all suspicious characters at work upon
the construction of public roads
throughout the states.
When a state has more roads that
need improvements than money with
which to effect these Improvements
the employment of tramps as roadmak-
ers has been found to work to the sat
sfaction of the general public. \ Grim
inal class is kept out of mischief, while
at the same time the value of the taxa
bic property of the state is increased.
Farmers are benefited by being able
to get their produce to market with
far less trouble and delay than were
formerly expected as matter of course
The state secures good roads at little
expense.
OF course, the tramps do not care TO
work day after day, toiling away upon
the state highways; but whenever they
are caught within such a state they
cannot help themselves. The conse-
quence is that after a few years of this
system the great majority of tramPs
give the state a wide berth.-Boston
Mass) Advertiser.
