Then Senator Elkins would be sug-
costing reciprocity provision in the
new tariff bill, instead OF discrim-
inatory proviso. Perhaps the end
would be the same, but il does seem as
though the characterization OF the
policy would make potential differ
cnce in presenting the subject TO the
American people and, possibly, TO con-
gress. The reciprocity provision of the
Mckinley tariff bill was adoptedfor the
purpose of charging the foreign mar
kets for American products. The reci-
procity provision OF the new Dingley
bill could be made to create and entend
a market for the employment of Ameri-
can vessels in the foreign trade. The
purposes would be identical, and the
methods employed almost identical.
And both policies have been shown ben
cficial when in actual operation. There

by both reciprocity and discrimination,
that would make the adoption OF either
OF these policies OF the greatest benefit
TO the people OF the United States.

IT'S DYING OUT.


the IMnt.
After spending three weeks in Mis-
souri,. Texas and Kansas, can say that
free silyerism is dying out in its south
western stronghold. The people now
talk about the craze dispassionately and
with reason. The verdict Is that it was
the ghost of the greenback craze which
set the farmers wild in 1886. When
asked o. ID. Austin, of the Bates County
Record, what had caused the stampede.
he said:
sThe farmers were deceived. They
thought free coinage would be con-
tinuation of the old coinage acts, when
the government bought silver at its
market price, coined $625,ooo,0 900 worth
of il, and guaranteed every dollar as
good as gold"
"And what have you found out since?"
i asked
"They have found out that the mine
owners don't want that. They want 1t
fixed so that the mine owners can make
the profit on coined silver and not the
government. They find the mine own
ers wish TO take their 50-cent silver to
the mint as they take gold TO the mint,
have 10 coined, and handed back to them
worth dollar like the $025, 000,000 which
have been coined. The farmers have
found out that this would only enrich
the mine owners at the expense OF the
people and give the farmer no better
money than he had before. The farm
ers have at last found out that they
are mot in it, while the mine owner,
with free coinage, would treble his
wealth.
"The farmer kept saying when Cleve-
land was buying gold 10 pay the ex.
penses Of the government: why don't
he pay silver for gold?' IL has now
dawned on the farmer that the govern
ment bought gold for something worth
less than coined silver. II bought
gold for paper. The government gave
paper note. If IL had bought gold with
coined silver II would have paid 80
cents worth of silver and so cents worth
of guarantee by the government. Ithas
dawned on the farmer that the 25,000,-
600 silver dollars coined by the govern
ment, and which the farmers are using,
have not been demonetized at all. The
peoples money Is all right, but the sill
YER in the ground was demonetized, and
they say: THAT don't hurt us farmers,
we don't own any of it, and that won't
hurt the mine owner either IL he will
let IL alone
"Then," continued Mr.. Austin, "when
Pryan kept saying in all his speeches
that gold had appreciated, that it had
gone up and our gold dollar was worth
200 cents, the farmer said: What are
we selling our wheat and cotton for?
Why, we are selling our products for
this double-priced gold. where a dol
lar is worth 200 cents. We are getting
twice as much value for our corn and
pork as we will get II we have free coin.
age and drop the price of gold They
now see that Bryan was lying TO them.
Bryan said the 'goldbug' bankers are
cornering gold, and now the farmers
sec the banks full Of gold and IL is as
free all over Texas and Missouri as sill
yer or paper"
"Then the free silver craze has pctered

are ashamed of it."-Eli Perkins, in Chi

DON'T LIKE THE COUNTRY.
Destitute Women Would Rather
Stnrye In Cities.

women NOulu
Starve In cities.
House servants have such a dislike to
the country that il is almost impossible
TO keep them there. This has long been
acknowledged, but II is rather sur
prise TO the State Charities Aid associa-
ton that even the women who have been
reduced to utter restitution will not re-
main in the country, even for the sake
OF home.
The association has been trying to
assist widows, deserted women and
young girls who are friendless. by find
ing homes for them in families. In all
cases where there are babies il is diff
cult TO find places for the women in
the city. and the association, therefore.
sends them to the country.
In town housekeepers will not be
bothered with servants with babies, but
country families cannot afford to be so
fastidious. They are glad to get sery-
ants, anyhow, and the baby is made well
come with the housemaid or maid-of-
all-work perforce.
The association has done much for
the unfortunate women who find them
selves thrown on the world without
natural protector, with n helpless in
FAINT in their care. Some OF the women
are taken TO the worlIhouse for un-
skilled labor, at AZ Prospect place, and
kept there, with their babies, until IL is
found that the mothers can get living
for themselves.
Generally IL is found that they cannot
do anything but plain laboring. and the
only chance for them is in domestic
service. IL is desirable that the babies
shall have fresh air. and that the moth
crs shall retain their offspring. So
every effort is made to find country
homes for the unfortunates.
In some instances the arrangement is
satisfactory on both sides. Often, how
ever, the woman and her babe come
back TO the city in the course Of a week
or two. There is n fascination about
town life TO those that have never had
any enjoyment out OF IL which is re-
marlSable.
These poor women, who have known
all kinds OF misery in the city. hurry
back 10 IL MS soon as possible. when

they get there. Officers of the associa-
ton have become so used TO this kind OF
human nature that they think nothing

Lesser Matters.

IL Is hardly necessary TO state that the
American Economist is in hearty accord
with President McKinley's call for
special session of congress for the
immediate enactment of protective
tariff. The earnestness of his desire TO
afford an opportunity for every Ameri-
can wagc-earner 20 secure a days work
is exemplified by the early date. March
Is. on which the Fifty-fifth congress
assembled. This one act is in full ac-
cord with Mr.. McKinley's veranda
speeches to the delegations who
crowded to his home during the heat
of last years campaign. open the
mills" was his constant cry, and one of
his first official acts as president was
to summon congress for that purpose.
There is far brighter outlook before
the country to-day than any single day
has witnessed since March 4, 1898. Then
the glamour of free trade was held be-
fore the people as their salvation. Then
they had been overburdened with
work, but the free traders had made
them believe they were overburdened
with "the tariff tax" of protection.
Their taxes have not been lightened
during the four years of democratic
administration; but their pockets
have been lightened Of the wages they
used TO earn. wages that have, since
1898. been earned by Europeans instead
Of by Americans. The tariff tax" of
free trade has cost many wage Garner
800 a year through inability to sell his
labor in his home market. and has thus
proven 20 be far more costly than any
protective tariff that he never knew he
was paying. and which enabled him to
be busy every day in the year If he
wanted 10.
The fallacies and falsehoods of the
free traders have been thoroughly ex-
posed since 1893. 1t hardly seems posi-
bile that one solitary person can now be
found in the United States 10 put faith
or credit in them. Yet there are theor-

There IRE some people who profess to
believe that the idea of readopting the
early American policy of discriminate
ing duties Is barbarous. and these same
people hailed the advent of reciprocity,
as incorporated in the Mckinley bill,
with great joy. The sentiment in be-
half of reciprocity swept from one end
of this nation to the other and actual
~ forced its incorporation in the Nc
Kinley bill.
Really the Mckinley reciprocity pro

sound that captured the people OF this
declared that reciprocity was a step in
the direction of free trade. whereas il
was founded upon the imposition of q
tariff on imports and had the effect OF
protecting American goods in the mar
kets of other countries, and WINS, there
fore, more strongly protective of Amer
lean interests than any previous tariff
bill in the history of this country.
We're Mr.. Elkins, of West Virginia,
the senator who has introduced the so
called discriminating duty bill in con-
gress, to move an addition TO the new
tariff bill of a certain per cent. of duty,
inclusive of goods then on the free list,
and provide, after the lapse of sufficient
time to permit the formal abrogation OF
treaties, for the omission of that extra
duty, provided imports came to our
ports i'm American vessels. that would
be called reciprocity, because it would
be precisely the same kind of reciproci-
~ that the Mckinley bill provided.
This nation would then. in effect, say
to other nations: IF you will employ
American ships TO send your products
To the United States we are willing to
be reciprocal, and we will remit por-
ton of the duty that we would exact
