why We Protect Everything.

There is no other nation on the face of
the earth so we'll equipped by nature as
our own to make broad and thorough
test of the protective principle. There is
not one raw material of the first impor-
lance of which we are not capable of
producing within our borders the great
bulk of our supply, and sugar. tea and
coffee are the only prime articles of food
for which we have to depend upon foreign
countries.
With these exceptions. America is, or
could easily be rendered, absolutely self
sustaining. And Hawaii and Cuba, if
they were both within our possession.
could be developed to yield all the sugar
required for our needs. A vast country
like the United States follows an unerring
instinct when it endeavOrs to protect not
only its manufactures. but its raw mate

EncOurag cement for Farmers.

The Democrats all along the line have
always. as they do now, insisted that the
farming interests of the country never re-
ceived benefit from protection. Yet, in
spite of these animadversions, and even
before the proposed Dingley bill had pass
ed the House, farm products began NOV
ing to higher levels of price. and are con-
tinuing to move right along because the
good effect of proposed protection has
stimulated general trade and opened fac
tories that have long been idle. and made
OF them greater consumers of what the
farmers had to sell. Wool wheat and
corn have each advanced in value and are
holding their own. with a good prospect
of doing still better. Stock of all kinds.

improved in price. and it may confidently
be stated that the said advance has been
the direct and good result of the proposed
protection that Congress is going to give
the country. The authority for these
statements is derived from the standard
and recognized commercial agencies which
are located in the great commercial CEN
ters. and are thus enabled to state in ex-
act terms what the conditions are.-Du-

THE "STRUGGLE" OF 1898.

It Was a Contest Between Honesty
and Dishonesty.
The struggle" of last year was not be-
tween "the money power and the common
people," 1t vas between the mass of the
people and combination of dishonest ras-
Gals who wanted to rob millions of the
community by means of cheap, chea ting
silver dollars, TO be made to apply retro
actively on obligations incurred in honest
dollars and for the payment of future
wages of labor andy the aid of retroac-
tive lation-for the payment of exist
ing debts. The confidence operators whom
Bryan headed. in furtherance of this vii
famous scheme, wanted to establish de-
based silver monometallism-not bimetal-
lism-so that all who had loaned money,
or sold property on time, or had money on
deposit in banks might be done out of half
their dues. That was the game for which
Bryan made his 600 speeches.
Bryan knew that the silver monometal-
lism he advocated and miscalled ''bimet-
allism" would involve this wholesale
cheating all over the Union, but he did
not dare to justify or admit it publicly.
He made hundreds of harangues during
the campaign in all parts of the Union
and he has made still more speeches since
his overwhelming defeat. and has written
a big book since then. putting them into
type, but he has never dared to avow the
purpose and effect of his retroactive
scheme of wholesale reputation and vio-
lation Of existing contracts and pecuniary
igations.-Chicago Tribune.

is to come to an end. Mr.. Bryan's spe-
cial organ, the Omaha World-Herald,
sounds the note of alarm in recent edi-
torial in which it urges the continuance
of the fusion between Democrats, silver
Republicans and Populists, saying: Get
together. That is good advice to the Pop
ulists, silver Republicans and Democrats.
1t means the selection of silver man to
the United States Senate at the next
session of the Legislature; it means
solid phalanx of silver followers in all
campaigns from now till 1900. 1t would
be worse than folly for the Populists to
refuse to fuse with the silver Republi-
cans and Democrats at this time and the
disastrous results would extend consid-
erably further than the local campaign.

Successful Secretary of Agriculture

Secretary Wilson, the new head of the
Department of Agriculture. is demonstrate
ing that he is the right man in the right
place. Unlike the Nebraska busybody
who preceded him, he does not spend his
time in writing theoretical essays on top
les which in nowise concern his depart
ment. Secretary Wilson believes that he
was appointed to his present position to
promote the interests of the tillers of the
soil, and he is not enly devoting himself
strictly to these duties. but he is devot-
ing himself to them in a practical and
sensible way, which promises to be Of the
utmost value.
One of the reforms he has inaugurated
is to collect new seeds from all parts of
the world. and to distribute them. with
the necessary instructions. among farmers
who are likely to put them to USE His
object is to encourage greater diversity
of farm products Nothing could be wiser
no matter from what standpoint the mat
ter is viewed.-New York Commercial
Advertiser

Heavy Weight Clothing.

A suit of clothes weighing forty pounds
would be a novelty. Yet it is apparently
the sort of suit which Prof. Wilson con-
templates for the average American indi-
vidual. He argues, in his newspaper ar
ticles at so much per column for the New
York Herald. that the tariff placed on
wool by the Dingley bill will add at least
20 per cent to the cost Of suit of clothes
Since an increase of 20 per cent in the
price of a suit of clothes means an in
crease of probably S. in its cost, and the
proposed duty on wool is II cents per
pound. Mr.. Wilson must calculate that
forty pounds Of wool would be used in the
manufacture of a suit of clothes. This
is fair sample of the misleading and alb
surd propositions upon which the free
traders build their theories and sometimes
get into office

Letter to Senate Committee.


A meeting of Representatives or the
shipping interests was held IN the room
of the Senate Committee on Commerce at
Washington. Among these present were
G. A Griscom, w. p. Clyde, L. w. Hyde,
A. r. Smith, G. H. Cramp, Samuei ..
Sewall H. P. Booth, E. Bliss, Aaron VAN
derbilt, D. c.. Mink, f. j. Firth, y. II;
Keep. ex-senator G. f. Edmunds and
Senators Frye, Elkins, Hanna and Fer
kins. The meeting was held tor the pur-
nose of promoting legislation looking TO
the encouragement of American shipping
There was general exchange OF views.
Senator Elkins' bill providing for a dis
eliminating duty on goods imported IN
American vessels afforded basis Tor
much of the proceedings, but there was
want of unanimity of opinion upon all OF
it's provisions. Mr.. Griscom presided and
the meeting was private.
Several addresses were made during the
day by those in attendance. one OF the
most important being the following decid-
edly interesting and important letter from
Charles H. Cramp, ESQ.,, president of the
Cramp Shipbuilding Company. 1t pre-
sents the shipbuilders' side of protection
for American ships very forcibly:
Sir: We have to deal with real facts and
actual conditions. The interests of ship
owning and ship-building are identical,
because no nation can successfully own
ships that cannot successfully build them.
No nation can either build or own ships
when. unprotected and unencouraged, it
is brought in competition with other ma
tions that are protected and encouraged.
This is the existing condition of the
ship-owning and ship-building interests of
the United States.
The resulting fact is that the enormous
revenue represented by the freight and
messenger tolls on our commerce and
travel is constantly drained out of this
country into British. German and French
nockets. in the order named, but mainly
British: while the vast industrial incre-
ment represented by the necessary ship
building inures almost wholly to Great
Britain.
For this drain there is no recompense.
II is sheer loss. 1t is the principal cause
of our existing financial condition.
So long as this drain continues no tariff
and no monetary policy can restore the
national prosperity.
Until we make some provision to keep
at home some part at least of the three
hundred and odd millions annually sucked
out of this country by foreign ship-own-
ers and ship-builders, no other legislation
can bring good times back again.
1t is a constant stream of gold always
flowing out.
The foreign ship-owner who carries our
oversee commerce makes US pay the
freight both ways.
For our exports we get the foreign mar
ket price less the freight
