AN ADVANCE ALL AROUND.

With Better Wages Working Men Arc
"A sharp advance in the prices Of
carpets, tapestries, rugs and all Other
house furnishings in that line. due to
the new Dingley tariff bill. Is now be
ing heavily felt in Leavenworth -
well as all other cities of the country"
-Leavenworth Standard.
A sharp advance in the purchasing
power of the wage earners of the Unit
ed States and in the purchasing power
OF the products of agricultural indus
try is now being heavily felt in all
the cities, towns. villages, hamlets and
farm houses of the entire country.
When speaking of an occasional ad-
vance in prices. kindly bear in mind
the general and widespread advance
that has occurred whereby everybody
is able to pay the increased price and
have something left for luxuries or to
lay by for rainy day We have just
passed through four years of low prices
and no money to pay them with; now
let US try the other plan of better prices
for everything and everybody, and
more money in the pockets Of the peo-
pie both before and after buying. It
won't take long to tell which the coun-
try prefers.
Striking evidence of the way in
which the protective policy benefits the
people as whole is cited by the San
Francisco Call in the case of wool. rs
follows:
1.-The large importations Of wool
The Globe-republican., 1897-12-16

seemed to interpose between the WOOL
producer and the advantage the new
tariff was designed to give him. and if
the consumption of wooden goods had
remained low as it was under the DEM
ocratic tariff, that result would have
followed to certainty. Protection.
however, revived industry of all kinds;
workingmen began to get wages: mer-
chants obtained customers: old stocks
were used up and new ones ordered:
mills set to work: and behold. the sup
plies Of foreign wool brought in UNI
der the free trade regime melted away
like snowbank in the sunshine.
I'm the face OF facts like this it will
be in vain that the free traders en-
deavor to excite discomfort among the
people by talking of the rise in prices.
Such facts demonstrate that the rise is
as beneficial to the consumer as to the
producer. for the consumer is himself
producer.

The proposition to defeat Iark
Hanna despite the fact that the Ohio
Republicans have control of the legis-
lature seems to have been abandoned.
Republican members of congress
will have no occasion to regret their
action on the Dingley bill when they
come together next month.
The Canadian proposition in favor
OF closer relations between the United
States and Canada is another evidence
that the protests against our tariff
were merely bluff"
When or why is it that our export
ations to practically all Of the coun-
tries which protested against the new
tariff have increased under the new
law? The thirteen countries which
protested against the new law. instead
OF shutting out our goods in retalia-
ton for the passage of this act, ac-
tually increased their purchases from
us in August and September nearly
$25.0Oo. 900 as compared wit. the corre-
SnOndInO nf
the Wilson law. Here is a conundrum
for those Democrats who insisted that
high tariff meant destruction of our
market abroad.
Congress. when it meets next week,
will find very gratifying showing
for the first four months of the new
tariff. law. Its earnings during the
hrst four months have exceeded by
several millions of dollars the earn
ings Of the corresponding four months
OF the Wilson law: its November earn
ings reached $4,000. 900, which 10
more than Is per cent in excess Of the
November earnings in the first year Of
the Wilson law.

ditions exactly reversed. In view Of

There is a paper on 1.-The Causes of
Poverty by the late Francis A. Wal
ker in the December Century. Gen.
Walker says: The true predominant
causes Of pauperism, as of crime,
have been s:rikingly painfully brought
out in tracing the history OF few
families. Three cases will suffice. The
reader remembers the investigation Of
the Jukes family in New York state.
Mr. DugGale estimated that the mem
bers of this family. descendants of one
worthless woman or intermarried
with her descendants. have in seventy
five years cost the state. as criminals
and paupcrs, a million and a quarter
Of dollars. The history Of kentucky

to include the character and conduct
of 4 host of its members by descent
or by sexual alliance. legitimate or IL

dure severe weather. They break down
early and go easily to the poor house
or the hospital. From Berlin we have

REPUBLICAN, OPINION.

What has become of that special
commission which went to japan to
lind out all about the conspiracy BY
wA.ch that country was brought to the
adoption of a gold standard? Did It
fail to find material for report?
Free-traders. who predicted horrible
things with reference to the markets
for our own productions abroad UNI
der the Dingley law. have not seen
their promises made good. On the
contrary, August and September ex-
portations from this country to the
countries which made protests against
our tariff amount 20 $131. AZ, 3s3. while
those of the corresponding months OF
last year under the Wilson law
amounted to only 107,977 $50. This
doesn't look as though the 'pFotests"
were q matter for much anxiety.
Advices from China confirm those
of some weeks ago which indicated
that the gold standard is likely to be
adopted by that government as soon
as practicable
Mr.. Bryan should hasten in his trip
to Mexico or he may not arrive in time
to enter his protest against the adop-
ton of the gold standard. However, .
protest after it was all over would
probably do just as much good as II
offered now.

IF the Rev. James W. Putnam, pas
tor Of the Trinity Baptist church OF
New York, should be so fortunate as
to be permitted to Craze in the Elysisn
pastures OF the Better Land, 1t won't do
for any Tammany HallIte to enter
there, or the Rev. Putnam will regis
ter q mighty kick. Recently Tam
many sent $50 check to the pastor to
be distributed among the poor Of his
flock for chhritys sake, but the rever-
end gentleman in whose heart there
can be no guile, refused to accept it,
and returned it with this Bible quota
tion: "Thy memory perish with thee, y
Act YJI, 20 No doubt the little
-Searts OF this pastors flock are thank
full to him for this merciful escape
from Tammany's unngbtecus and un-
holy charity. "The holier-than-thous"
are sometimes given TO absurdities too
closely akin TO religious fsnaticism,
and Brother Putnam should take in or
let out a stitth or two and give his

his bill, No. 1857, will be passed as
sooa-as Congress reconvenes.
His bill repeAls the oil law, and
places the whole business of issuing
deeds to town lots in the hands Of the
probate judges Of the respective coun'
ties. 1t also provides that the pur-
chase price of such townsite lands
shall. when the town Is duly organ
lied, be paid to the school treasurer
OF such town to be by him credited TO
the school fund OF the district.
II also provides that lands taken for
townsite purposes shall not exceed
