So, 137.4 AIS. worth of goods was declared
for your side. March shipments to the
tune of & s44.621 fairly took our breath
when your consul published them, but
this time ali that men could talk about
was the huge total. Nothing like this
has ever been previously recorded in the
course of a single month in the Ameri-
can export Of Bradford, the nearest be-
ing. of course, those of March last, and
then we go back TO G 606.ss In August
of 1895. Indeed, so enormous are the
figures of last month that they rival
and actually exceed the exports for the
whole IL months in some years. While
II you put March and April shipments
together, in two months the figures ex-
ceed the whole of the shipments sent in
the Mckinley tariff years of 1898 and
1894, while II you add together the ship
ments for the following three months,
August, 1895, March and April, 1897,
they excel each separate full years ship
ments from 1891 to 1895. Such ship
ments might well lead our papers here
to describe the situation as "a cheerful
significance" and pleasing in chron-
telling the event." for while they spell flu
ture hard times" and poor doing" to
many millions in the states, they have
been the means of clearing hundreds
of musty piles of stuff in Bradford. If
anybody is willing to see the untold
difference IL makes TO Bradford having
a Mckinley tariff and Wilson bill, let
him analyze the following figures:

HALF a LOAF OR NO BREAD.
Free Traders Seeking a Crumb OF
Comfort An Their Ruins.

..ITalf a loaf Is better than no bread"
is the old saying; and half free trade
is better than no free trade at all. ac-
cording 10 the free trade and mugwump
newspapers. They know that the VIII
son law with its vicious ad yalorem
schedules is doomed; they have read its
fate in election returns ever since the
wretched thing of "shreds and patches"
became a law. But the free traders
think there is no use In giving up the
old ship altogether. They say to them
selves: Even a raft from the old tim
bers is better than no ship at ALL" And
so they fill the papers and magazines
with articles, prporting TO be from
the pens of protectionists. similar to
the one in the Forum on middle
Ground on the Tariff" advocating "mod-
crate" duties and Stree raw materials;"
and they bring to the front all the
selfish manufacturers, who have been
notorious free raw material free traders
for the last generation, and bolster
them up as samples of the manufnctur-
ers of the country. and say; "Loi these
be manufacturers and protectionists,
and they want raw material'free and
only moderate duties on manufactured
goods. Why should anybody else want
protection when these men do not de-
mand it?' Then they urge the re-
publicans TO recognize the free trade
democrats who bolted their ticket and
ngree on tariff bill that will not Of
fend them.
Let not the hearts of protectionists
be troubled. This Is the old device of
beaten enemy. When they are
whipped in the field they sneak into
your councils and try to win by fnesse
what they failed TO win by brute force.
But their incorporating as friends and
allies will not deceive their conquerors.
Their adroit trick in trying TO shift the
Issue away from free trade did not
succeed. The great battle was fought
and won more upon the issue OF protec-
tion than anything else. The idle mills
and the smokeless chimneys had their
say on election day. Let not the UNI
wary be deceived. All this twaddle
about moderate" protection and Stree
raw materials" comes from the enemy;
IL Is pure free trade effort 10 save as
much as possible from the wreck of

Such figures speak volumes to every
loyalhearted American, and do as your
officials will, their plans, at least for the
next two years, are frustrated through
delay. Why, your wool growing in
dustry and your manufacturing in
dustry have now had given them death
stroke. Wool exports alone amount TO
6 465,610 for April, an increase upon the
corresponding month of C $4,000, and
upon the previous month of 114.3S3.
In wool alone this year C 1,023, 1923 has
been exported, as against G 1,653,159 of
all other articles. The increase over
raw wool for 1897 so far has been C sof,-
III, the total increase upon all other ma
terials being & 322, 773 only.
The four principal lines of manufac-
tured goods, those which in the making
take the bread out of your operatives
mouths-stuff goods, worsteds, woolens
and cottons-for April show n total of
C 535, 172, as against asa, 1872 for March,
or an increase of G 151 ,440 upon March.
OF these the dress goods, G 800, 492, are
higher than ever previously under the
Wilson tariff, and are more than double
under any Mckinley tariff month and
register an increase of R23s, 10s over
April, 1896. Worsted coatings, & 154,3e4,
arc higher than since January. 1896.
and show an increase of R10s,351.
Shoddy wooden goods are higher than
since August, 1895, and thus the whole
table reads on. Here are the figures
for three lines of fully manufactured
goods sent during Mckinley tariff days
and in the Wilson tariff days:

The two or three great trusts in this
country which have survived the past
are not protected industries. The
Standard Oil company Is the most sue
cessful monopoly of the country, and
probably in the world. No tariff in
this country affects 1t. The whisky
trust held It's own for years by power
OF combination and the extension OF the
bonded period by the same congress-
men who are desirous of turning rev.
enue DILL into n seeming act 10 over

trust cannot be affected materially by a
tariff. The cotton-seed oil trust ran its
race regardless of the tariff, which cam
not touch the industry. The antitrust
clause cannot affect the cotton packing

tors who are Indignantly denouncing
trusts are said to be interested indians

A recent dispatch reports that after
an idleness of nearly three years the
Maryland steel works, at Sparrow's
Point, have started up. This means
work for 1000 idle men. Dispatches of
this character have been frequent ever
since the election of President McKin-
ley and the assurance of a return 10 the
system of protection; and they are the
strongest possible evidence of the pros
perity which is sure TO return when pro-
lection, along true protectionist lines, Is
once more established. The people OF
the country ask no more than that the
senate will act as wofthily as has the
house, and that the Dingley bill, when
IL passes the senate, will embody the
true principles for which the voters de-
clared last November.
