the HdIlonS ldll 10 agree upon d system
for an increased use of silver, it would
be folly for the United States alone to
undertake 1t, hence, they would be IN
der those circumstances, out of a job.
So, it is not surprising that such men
as Dubois, Teller, Stewart and other
alleged friends of silver sneer at the
proposed bimetallic conference and are
doing all in their power to prevent its
success, or even it's consideration.
Protection Calming Ground.
The protective tariff idea is gaining
foOthold permanently in every party.
Senator's McEnery, Caffery, Smith, and
several others on the Democratic side
Of the senate are likely to supper the
Republican tariff measure. POpulists
Kyle, Heitfeld and one or two others
OF that party are, it is understood,
likely TO vote for protection. OF the
silver Republicans, practically all are
in principle protectionists. Thus the
great principle of the Republican party,
that which has been the leading
thought in it's declarations since it's
existence, is coming to be gradually
recognized and accepted by members OF
all parties.
Great Britain has another evidence
Of the distress Of free trade in the eX-
perience of one of her children, Aus
tralia. New South Wales recently en-
tered upon a new experiment in low
tariff and the result has been extreme
distress. An official report of the New
South Wales Chamber of Manufacture
es shows the effect of the low tariff
10 have been reduction in wages,
workmen discharged, works closed and
industries abandoned which had taken
expenditure of many years of effort and
much capital to establish" This is
very much like our own experiences
with low tariff.
Free Traders Responsible for Big APP
preparations.
The Republicans in the new con-
gress are going to make an effort to get
BACK TO the system of placing the APP
preparation bills in the hands of one
committee. The free traders who got
control of congress when Grover
Cleveland first came into the White
House distributed the appropriation
oils to a half-doZen committees in or
der to take them out of the hands OF
Protectionist Sam Randall and at the
same time more thoroughly control the
mousse in favor of the free trade plans.
They succeeded, both in distributing
the appropriation bills and in passing
their free trade tariff act. The result
OF the distribution of the appropria-
tion bills was an enormous increase in
expenditures and the result OF the pas
sage of the low tariff act was an enor-
nous decrease of the receipts. Result:
An increase in national indebtedness
IN the last four years amounting to
Ioz million dollars. The. Republican
party, now that it resumes control,
must first change the systems which
produce these evil results and then go
10 work and pay the debts which the
democrats piled up. To do this they
VIII first reduce expenditures by plac-
ing the appropriation bills in the hands
Oh n committee; second, increase
the receipts by a protective tariff and
general business activity, and then re-
sumo the task which they carried on
successfully for many years of paying
on public Indebtedness.
