GOLD DEMOCRAT HyPocRITEs.
A PitifaI Exhibition of Political De-
pravfty.

No gold democrat who has complained
that the republican party has "bc
trayed" that element by proposing fur
Their tariff legislation, has yet produced
copy of the contract or bargain thai
Is supposed 10 have been made. If there
was betrayal" then of course such q
| document must be in existence. There
must have been some bargaining and
traflicking, otherwise how could the
golditcs be betrayed?
Yet it seems singular that persons OF
the superior virtue which the Cleveland
ties profess TO possess, would dare de-
scend TO bargaining and trafficking with
the avowed and open enemies OF their
party. They have affected TO be the
very incarnation of political virtue.
They have mounted their pedeStals and
invited the world to regard their in
comparable political virtues. They have
pointed 10 one another to remind the
public that they alone are fit and COM
Detent to govern. When the control Of
their party was taken away, they organ
lied an open revolt, and now because
they cannot rule the republican party,
they complain grievously that they have
been betrayed" and are not receiving
the fruits of their revolt and treachery.
II does not seem TO occur 10 these I'M
maculate creatures that they are max
ing a pitiable exhibition of themselves.
In whining over their alleged betrayal"
they substantially confess that in re
voting against the nomination of Mr..
Bryan they were not solely intent, as
has been assumed, on promoting the
cause Of honest money, but We're en-
gagged in an effort to perpetuate sys-
TEN in which they are deeply interested,
but which has worked havoc TO the most
material interests of the land.
Behind their professions of devotion
10 the cause of honest money. ii is now
seen there was a stealthy effort to pre-
vent a return to the system of protec-
ton. This Cleveland clique of alleged
sound money men was more concerned
in boosting free trade along than
in anything else, and the assump-
ton that the republican party consent
cd in any way TO such proceeding is,
positively, the most grotesque assump-
ton that has yet been made by that eie-
ment which is now becoming farcical in
our politics.
The reason, then, that no proof Of the
evidence of the betrayal"
is Forthcoming, is because no evidence
exists. 1t is preposterous TO assume
that the republican party ever even con-
falling in with the schemes
and the plans of the Clevelandites. II
The latter are victims of self-deception.
it may be said that this is not the first
time they have Rugged delusion 10 their
bosoms. But they can delude them
selves in secret hereafter, for the Amer
can people have no further use for

TRUTHS ABOUT THE TARIFF.
what the WiIson-Gorman Bill Hal
Done for the Farmer.

Done for the Farmer.
A great hue and cry was raised by the
democrats in 1892 and 1894 that the
farmer was the one to be specially bene-
flied by a revenue or free trade tariff
that with free wool and free manufac-
tured goods he could buy so much
cheaper all the clothing for himself and
| family. Now, let us see how the VIII
son-Gorman tariff bill helped him.
ask a farmer who raises wool:
"what did you pas for suit OF
clothes you bought in 1922"
Answer paid in wool at 80 cents a
pound?
How many pounds did you give?"
Answer-Fifty pounds; but in 1898
could buy just as good a suit at So
"Yes. When you bought a suit for
$40. how many pounds of wool did You
give?"
Answer-Well. let's see. | sold my
wool for little over IA cents. gave
seven pounds for dollar, and ten times
seven pounds are 20 pounds.
Then you paid just ten pounds more
wool Cor your $40 suit than you did for
the SIS suit. Your extra ten pounds at
1896 prices were worth sl.40, and at 1892
prices were worth So. Where does the
benefit come in?"
Again, Schoharie county was the
only county in the state 10 give in 1896
a demNcratc majority. This is one of
the great hop counties. ] ask the hop
grower:
How many pounds of hops did YOU
give for SIS suit of clothes in 1892"
Answer sold my hops for 25 cents
a pound-four pounds for dollar /
gave four times y, which are co. Yes,
l paid Go pounds.
Last fall your SIS suit. after three or
four years wear, began TO be thread
bare. and you bought just as good a
suit for S1O?"
Answer-Yes.
"ITow many pounds of hops were ex-
changed for that suit 2"
Answer-Wen. sold my hops for IL
cents Chat is more than some folks
got) and il took 90 pounds.
$50 that you had TO give the labor TO
raise 90 pounds that you gave for so
pounds in 1922"
AnsNyer-No. not exactly; / did not
pay my hired man so much a month as
did in 1862.
Then a part of your revenue tariff
was paid br your hired man?"
Answer-Well. IL looks that way.
Now we will ask the hired man:
mfr. Jones. what is your occupa-
tion?"
Answer-In 1877 I went TO work in
factory. and in 1852 was getting 50 n
day. After ten years-that is, in the
fall of 1892, the factory shut down aud
I was out of job. After waiting and
tramping for six months hired out TO
the hop farmer for sl4 month. and
glad 10 get il. for thousands of factory
hands were out of employment and
could find nothing TO DO.
when you boughta suit of clothes in
the summer of 1892 for SIS, how many
days did you have TO work 70 pay 70,
them?"
Answer-Seven and half.
after three years of wear. and Won
bought just as good suit for $40, how
many days did you have TO work for
them?"
Answer-Three weeks. or, to be exact
about it. 2fai days. This extra two
weeks labor thar had to pay in 1896
S2+ in 1902. which is more
than mechanic would have to pay in
on all the tools he would
buy in a lifetime.-Letter in Y. Y.

Utterly Unjust.

The language used by Mr.. Cleveland
and his democratic friends respecting
the republican party could only be OK
cused if there had been held out TO him
or tc them distinct assurances that the
republican party, if successful, would
dishonorably abandon the principles
and pledges which had caused the nom
ination of President Mckinley and
which brought him great share Of his
support. Everybody knows that no
such assurances were given. On the
contrary, everybody knows that, from
the earliest to the latest hours of the
campaign, Mai. Mckinley continued to
appeal directly to the people for sup
port on the ground that there could be
no solid or lasting prosperity without
adequate protection of American in
dustries. His supporters, also, in every
state of the union pursued the same
frank and straightforward course. even
when continually abused by democratic
boilers for declining TO abandon the
principles of the republican party. No
words of censure could be too strong,
therefore, for the democratic leaders
who endeavor to deceive and mislead
the people by false representations in
regard to the party, which the people
intrusted gladly With power, after four
years trial of Mr-ClevelaDd's admin
istration and party.-N. Y. Tribune.

Obstructionists' Tactics.

Apparently some of the leaders of
the late popocratic coalition think that
the passage of tariff bill which would
furnish therequired revenue for the gov
eminent and additional protection for
the industries which need it would drive
the silver question out of the public
mind. In this view they are unques-
tionably correct. Adequate revenue and
protection are the chief needs of the
country at this time, and when they are
furnished the business rally will come.
Currency reform, now that the exist
ence of the gold standard is rendered
certain so long as the republicans re-
tain power, is less Immediately urgent,
and can be attended to later on without
delaying trade improvement. Anything
which starts up the idle mill wheels,
restores the public confidence and
brings back prosperity must neces-
sarily Danish discomfort and conse-
1uently destroy .the-silyeF issue. For
personal reasons, therefore, the Dopo-
cratic chieftains want to delay or de-
feat the tariff, but the masses of the
popocratic combination, like the rest of
the people. want prosperity no matter
how it is restored, and they and the
people in general will oppose all con-
spiracies to obstTuct tariff legislation.

DUnder the MCKINLEY hin ,ho a..

DCnder the Mckinley bill the Ameri-
tan citizens clothes were made of wool
while under the Wilson German bill
they were made of shoddy. In 1894 the
imports of shoddy amounted to 143, 900
pounds. but in 1896 they rose to 16.77O,-
o16 pounds. Free trade gave the Amer
lean workingman the equivocal blessing
of garments made OF waste, rags, rub
bish and off-scourings from the four
quarters Of the earth. Naturally. a
measure to abolish all this trash and
provide that American clothing shall
be made of wool fills Mr.. Wilson's free
trade heart with woe ond his eyes with
crocodile tears.-Toledo Blade
