And Still the Cleveland Administra-

From the Chicago Inter Ocean: The
McLeans and calamity howlcrs in Ohio
VINO are chuckling over the coal strike
VIII do well to avoid all facts Of recent
history. We notice that President
Ratchford Of the United Mine Workers
association, in a communication to the
New York Herald, dated June 3, says:
"A miners wages in the western Penn
sylVania field ranges from "a to AZ
cents per ton in thin veined districts,
and from 30 to % cents per ton in the
thick-yeined. In 1898 the mining rate
in thin-veined districts was 70 cents,
and in t~hick-veined So cents per ton.
During the same year the rate in Ohio
and Indiana was 70 and IS cents re-
spectively. Now it is 81 cents, with
a reduction proposed in Ohio to 45
cents per ton. This ratio holds good
In a general way all along the lines:
Illinois, a portion Of Iowa, eastern and
central Pennsylvania, and the Virgin
las are all equally affected" These
1gures point directly to the fact that
miners wages have fallen from 20 to
80 cents per ton since 1893, following
directly the Wilson tariff law, which
reduced the tariff on coal 35 cents per
ton. The humblest miner cannot mis-
take the fact that the starvation
wages were the result of Democratic
legislation, which o only struck a
blow direct in the face Of the coal
workers, but added general prostration
in business. The free traders in coal,
such as Mr.. Wilson, Bryan & Co, will
have to meet and answer these suffer-
Ing working thousands, and it Will be
more than they can do. The facts are
too plain and the history too recent to
give them any comfort.

The South for Protection.

The voting on the Dingley tariff bill
in both house and senate has brought
out some interesting and significant
facts, some Democrats and even a few
Populists have joined with the Repub-
licans in support of a protective meas
ure. This evidences that the principle
of protection has grown broader than
party lines. But the most significant
fact is that nearly all of these nom
Republican votes for protection came
from the south. The day was when in
making a forecast of election returns
the votes of the solid south" were
assigned without discussion to the
party of free trade. But that day has
gone never to return. The solid
south" is broken and the break is
greater than that which is measured
by party lines. Not only has the party
whose watchwOrd is protection more
southern members in congress than
ever before, except at the time i'm
mediately following the civil war, but
the number of their votes does not
measure even the whole strength OF
protection sentiment in the south. The
growth Of manufactures in the south
and the opening up Of southern resour-
ces is swinging the south surely and
not slowly into the protection column.
1t is quite conceivable that in the not
far distant future we will have again
a solid south"-a south solid for the
American system OF protection.

Why Not?

Some European nations subsidize
their steamships; others subsidies
their shipbuilders; others again exempt
their ships from taxes, only taxing
their net earnings; others give a boun-
ty on imports on their own vessels;
others give a bounty on tonnage for
distance sailed. In various ways as to
them seems best, they protect and
courage their shipping. Why may not

Oh, yes; they have been considered!
Who are the but our great

is enacted in order that our masses

cannot consume. A protective tariff

What Farmers Depend Upon.

Farmers depend upon a protective
tariff just as surely as does the pros
perity of every other American pro-
Queer. The remedy for agricultural de-
preston is an enlargement of the mar
ket for agricultural products. In order
to secure a larger market for agricul-
tural products we must make the home
market larger and increase the home
demand. The only way to do that is
by building up our manufactures, by in
.creasing the number Of III industrial
plants, by giving employment to all
idle workingmen, by creating such a
demand for labor through the opening
up Of new industries. that the increased
number of consumers will afford a mar
ket for all the farmers products. This
is the best way to secure prosperity to
the farmers, and the enactment of a
protective tariff law will benefit no
class of workers more than it will bene-
fit the farmers.
