False Figures To Bolster Free Trade.

A very careful and q thoroughly in
formed writer on finance has thrown
down "a gauntlet which Mr.. Worthing-
ton G. Ford, chief CT the bureau OF sta
tistics in the treasury department dur
ing President Cleveland's term of of
flee, must pick up, or confess himself
to be discredited. Mr.. Ford has stated
officially that the exports of American
manufa cures for the calendar year
1896 amounted to 1855 ,962, sos. and
thereupon the Democrats have assert
ed the Wilson tariff to be the most BEN
eficial OF measures, acting directly to-
ward enlargement of u foreign
trade, and, of course, creating a de-
mand for home labor in the manufac-
ture of the articles exported.
1t may be said in passing that If the
free trade statement, Tariff is a tax
added to the price of the thing upon
which duty is paid" be true, then the
wages paid for the manufacture Of ar
ticles of export must be lower than
those paid for articles manufactured
for home use. For such exports must
compete with the "untaxed manufac-
lures of foreign countries.
But the gentleman who, under the
signature of "Statistician," occupied
nearly two columns Of the Inter Ocean
of Wednesday, valves all special pleas
and boldly denies the accuracy of Mr..
Ford's figures, and in great detail sets
forth the uamc ard value Of every class
of manufactured exports during 1895,
and finds them to be not 1886. 962 sos,
as officially set forth by Mr.. Ford, but

The result should serve as a warning.
The Populist party is doomed. 1t will
never command the confidence Of the
people. If the Democratic national on
ycation in 1900 shall repeat the blum
der of 1896, in laying down a platform
to catch Populist votes, We believe it
will meet with even a greater disaster
at the polls than it did last November.

No Real Democratic Gains.

Mayor-elect Harrison of Ch:clgo,
spoils the beautiful theory which DEM
ocratic shriekers were spreading
broadcast that the municipal elections
were a hopeful sign of restoration for
the Democracy. He admits that the
success was purely upon the question
of municipal reform and that national
questions did rot enter into the cam
paign. Investigation of the conditions
attending Democratic success in other
cities show that this was the case gen.
orally. In not a single n of the
municipal elections did national issues
cut any figure, while in the state cleo
ton of Rhode Island, where national
issues were at the front, the Republic
cans increased their vote 20 per CEN
over that which they gave to William
Mckinley in 1896.

Heavy Weight Clothing That.

Professor Wilson, who is now adding
to the $75,0 900 which he has drawn in
salary from the government during the
past few years, by writing articles at
SO much per column for the New York
Herald, says in a recent attack upon
the Dingley bill that the wool tariff
will add more than rs per cen to the
cost of clothing. BY this he means
that about IS will be added to the cost
OF a suit of clothes. AS the rate of
duty named by the bill averages IL
cents per pound, the professor must
calculate that 40 pounds Of wool goes
into a suit of clothing. But what bet
ter can be expected OF a man who
framed such a measure as that now
upon the statute books bearing his
name?

The south Wants Protection.

The experience of the South in the
past few years with the new industries
developing there, the manufactures and
the new demands which they call out
has strengthened the protective senti-
ment very greatly. Not only has it in
creased the demand for material for
use in the manufacturing establish
ments. such as cotton, lumber. iron,
coal, wool and other articles of that
class, but it has also proved advan
tageous to the general agricultural in
terests of that section.

Tired or the PopuIist Combination.

The Topeka Democrat is a newspa-

ularity, which put its brains in it's pock-
ct and faithfully supported Bryan in
the campaign of 1896. This is what
IL has to say about the matter now:
Fusion is dead in Kansas. A united
Democracy and no further fusion with
the selfish and arrogant Peoples par
ty. The supreme duty OF the hour for
Democrats in Kansas is to cut loose

The Legitimate Fruits of the Chicago
Platform.

Platform.
III addition to this abandonment of
he vital principle of tariff reform, the
convention at Chicago nominated for
president a man who had repeatedly
declared that the free coinage Of silver
was the only aim to be considered, and
h in the whole course Of his can
yass either evaded questions about the
tariff or absolutely refused to discuss
the subject. The cue was taken by
all the free silver orators and press,
and from first to last nobody heard a
tariff speech or read a tariff editorial.
The subject was tabooed. There was
nothing but silver and abuse of sound
money Democrats.
Four of the five Democratic members
Of the House who voted for the Ding
ley bill are pronounced silverites. and
the Republican silverites and Popu-
lists in the House either voted for the
bill or refused to vote at all. Not
even to this late day has Mr.. Bryan
abated one jot or little of his cam
paign position that free silver was the
whole thing.
What impudence it is, then, in Nc
Millin and other sixteen-to-one-or-bust
enthusiasts to get up now and howl
about the tariff principle which they
deliberately shelved in the national
convention, to gain protectionist allies
with whom they are still cheek by jowl,

What Protection Did for Industries.

In 1870 the total amount Of capital
invested in manufactures in the Unit
ed States was $2,11S.2 0S, 1859, In 1890
it was S6,524, AS, 1906. In 1870 the num-
Der of persons employed in our manu-
featuring industries was $4,000. In
1890 it was 4,712. 622. In 1870 the wages
paid to employees Of this description
amounted to STE, 5S4,343. In 1890 the
wages paid were 1888, 2l6,529. In 1870
the value of the products of American
factories was $4,232, 1926, 442. In 1890 it
had increased to 1882 ,437, 2S3. These
are merely a few of the salient features
in the progress of the nation under
twenty years of continuous protection.
Here was prosperity which lasted-an
era of widespread industrial develop
ment, Of increasing employment and Of
rising wages without precedent in the
history of human affairs.

will not treat him SO this time.
Seriously, there are number who
are owing THE HERALD large ac-
counts, and it is to these that the
foregoing is addressed. We know
that they intend to pay some time
otherwise we should certainly dis
continue their subscription and adj
vertisement-but we would remind
these debtors of THE HERALD that
the larger bill grows, the harder
it is to pay. If they would only
make some payment, however small,
every month, to cover the months
dues and a portion of their indebt-
edness for back dues, We should be
very much pleased to give them
credit for the amount. 1t isl mis-
take TO refrain from paying any
thing, waiting to get the money to
pay all at once. People who adopt
this plan sometimes fail to ever get
the necessary amount all ain a

TAX THE CANNES.


TIE HERALD's local exchanges
continue to complain of the dog
nuisance, and doubtless the work of
poisoning our surplus canine popn-
lation will soon begin. While this
NAV be a commendable plan In some
respects, yet it is likely to prove dis
astrous to owners of pet dogs, which
are quite as likely to get morsel OF
poisoned meat as any street mon
grel. It is impossible to make sure
of keeping dogs off the streets, when
people entering ones yard are con-
stantIy leaving gates open and al
lowing them to. escape, hence the
owners Of fine dogs, who would
gladly keep them off the streets, are
very liable to lose their pets. As a
remedy, The HERALD would once
more suggest that the city impose
dog tax, obliging all owners OF dogs
TO put collar with license tag on
their animals, and authorizing the
police to Stay all dogs seen on the
streets minus a license tag. This
plan is commonly practiced in other
places, and it is very effective in
clearing the streets of numerous
worthless ours. It also adds some
thing to the city revenues.
