TONIGHr'S ADJUSTMENTS
WHERE THE TROUBLE LIES

The New York Press an ultra high
protection sheet, begs to assure the
country that 1.-THE currency has no more
to do with the depression of business
than has the shifting of the wind The
Wilson law it is that has stopped busi-
ness. 1t has placed an absolute veto on
it, So long as it remains in operation,
there can be no general reopening OF
mills and factories; no abundant dis
posing of goods; no adequate exchamg-
ing of commodities; no money-making
in the United States
If the Press is correct in locating the
cause Of the business troubles and finan-
cial disasters which have so distressed
this country the last three years, it is
sincerely to be hoped that Mr.. Mckinley
will lose no time in calling congress in
extra session to wipe the dreadful Will
son law off the books, and substitute one
for it which shall open wide the gates
of prosperity. The people are very tired
of living under clouds of commercial un-
W
rest and uncertainty. and if the Wilson
law is the breeder of such stagnation as
has prevailed in the channels of trade
the last three years, let it be repealed on
the very day that Mckinley is inaugu
rated, if possible, that the people may
again enjoy the blessedness of prosper
ity. If the Wilson law has stopped
business" as the Press says it has, il is
McKinley's duty to pull out the stop
per- and let abundance flow. 1t is a
very easy matter to repeal the horrible
act and put one in its stead that shall
make the hearts of all the people rejoice
with exceeding great joy, at least the
Republican bosses say it is
But it so happens that between the
enactment of the Morrill, tariff law i'm
1852 and the final wiping of the Mckinley
act off the books in 1894, there We're a
least FIVE periods of business distress
and hard times, either one of which
brought as much disaster and ruin upon

panic" Moreover, the props began to
fall away from the peoples business en-
terprises While President Harrison and
thoroughly Republican policy We're di-
recting the government, and it was be-
cause of that that Grover Cleveland and
a Democratic congress We're commits
stoned to supersede Mcknleyism and
right the wrongs which Republican class
legislation had put upon trade and labor.
1t is very true the storm came and swept
the country, but subsequent events
proved very conclusirely that 10 human
power could have averted it, 1t was the
accumulated iniquity OF a quarter of a
century of trust and monopoly building.
and it had to burst forth and overWhelm
the channels of trade and finance only
that the disaster would have been far
more destructive had Harrison and a
Republican congress been elected in
1892. z-..
1t was unfortunate for the country
that the operation of the Mckinley act
could not have been stopped on the very

WHY THEY ARE IDLE

An eastern exchange calls Mr. Ding
cally all the wooden factories are idle,
and that they will remain so until proper
protection is afforded them against pau
per Europe" Now, it is absolutely true
that very many of the eastern wooden
factories are idle, but it is not true that
they are in enforced idleness. There
is another and very important side to
this factory closing question which the
high protectionists are carefully con-
cealing.
The fact of the matter is, these same
idle factories are importing wool in enor-
nous quantities. They are hiring build
ings to store it in. What for? Under
the present tariff law wool is on the free
list, but it is as good as settled that the
extra session of congress will place du-
ties ranging from so per cent to 100 per
cent on foreign WOOL and of course the
more wool a factory has on hand when
the new tariff act increases it's value
from 30 per cent to 100 per cent the bet
ter it will be for 1t, and that is the rea-
son why importations of wool are SO
large just now.
But that is not all. The factories are
idle because their owners know that
present prices of wooden fabrics are
based upon free wool, and that If they
quit manufacturing and accumulate
stocks of wool until the new law be-
comes operative. they will get from so
per cent to 100 per cent more profit.
American wool growers will have to take
a back seat until the mills consume all
the millions of pounds that are being
hurried to them from "pauper labor
countries" What the average high pro-
tectionist does not know about devising
tricks and schemes to rob the people
is not worth bothering about.
