In the last Presidential campaign
the people were compelled to choose
between two gigantic evils; free
coinage of silver or a protective
tariff. They are both evils that
will weigh heavily upon the masses
of the people. Free silver would
protect the silver mine owners at
the expense Of the laborers of the
country and a protective tariff,
while it processes to be in the in
terest of the laboring men, taxes
the masses, labcling men and all,
fer the benefit of the wealthy
manufacturers. A tax on hides as
proposed by the protective tl hfbill
may enable our farmers to get a lit
tie more for their beef hides, but it
will greatly injure the foreign leather
trade, throw thousands Of labOrers
out of employment,and postpone the
day of returning prosperity. While
the farmer would gain a few cents
on his hides, he would pay a good
deal more in the advanced price Of
his shoes, boots, harness &c, for
himself and family.

Some of the silveriles say that
they are unwilling that gold men
shall come in and dictate the policy
Of their party. They need not
worry themselves about that. The
gold men are not pOpulists. They
simply refused to follow the demo
cratic party, when it deserted dem
Ocrahc principles and substituted
for them populism and Altgeldism.
Itcannot be reasonably expected
that party so suddenly intoxicated
by the hope of success, that threw
aside the vital principles of its ex
istence and cursed the leader that
had safely led it through the will
derness into the open grounds Of
national supremacy, should abandon
its folly after one defeat. They
will cling to their idols. They will
console themselves with the hope of
gaining state elections. These
they gained before they embraced
populism, and in their folly, drove
a number Of staunch democratic
states into the republican party.
They havenot recovered from their
folly; revolutions do not move back

doctrines that they would have

HARD TIMES.

There is method in tn, cry OF
.'hard times" The never satisfied
manufacturers cry "hard times. "
They close their factories, throw the
laborers out of employment, and
appeal to congress for more pro
lection. With new tariff bill
they rob the public, until the poor
over taxed masses are unable to
buy their productions, which natur-
ally become unsaleable, and a hnan.
cial panic with all its woes endea
vors to purify the commercial at
mosphere.
A protective tariff will enrich
our people just as the two boys
were enriched by swapping jackets
all day. We may expect alternate
feast and famine, so long as we at
tempt to promote prosperity by re
stricting our trade to our own
country by means of a protective
tariff. Our lahorers, in skill and
rapidly, are ahead Of any lahorers
of the world. Give us the entire
world for a market and the Ameri
can laborer will prove himself
ahead of all others. Until we open
the markets of the world to the
skill of our own laborers we can.
not expect the wealth of the world
to be tributary to us.
