Hypocrisy and Honesty

The difference between hypocrite
and an honest man, between a blatant
demagogue and a patriot, is well shown
by comparison between Mr.. Cleve-
lands speech at the Reform Club dinner
on April 9th and the speech of Bourke
Cochran at the dinner Of the Boston
Merchants Association on January
18th Mr. Cleveland, after the method
which has been pursued by other defeat
ed and discredited Free-Traders, and
with hypocrisy and effrontery worthy
Of himself, affected to believe that Pre-
sident Mckinley was elected as a
champion Of sound finance" and that
be and his party had been false to their
pledges in making the passage Of Pro-
tective Tariff measure their first con-
Germ. MI. Cochran on tie other hand
in the spirit of an honest man honestly
speaking said in his Boston speech;
with eyes wide open we voted for
Protectionist, and | believe we should
be now ready if necessary to stand Pro-
lection as the policy of the government,
If we seek now to enforce our opinions
upon the successful Republican party
instead of making sacrifices we would be
demanding them. We have 10 right to
this. All that was promised from
Mr.. McKinley's election was that every
man might have an opportunity to i'm
prove his own condition by industry and
thrift. The wheels of progress have al
ready begun to revolve. Already there
is an increase in the volume of produc-
ton which will steadily grow broaden
and widen" The people Of the coun-
try will know how to measure the two
men; and although they will never again
be willing to adopt the fallacy of Free
Trade, in which Mr.. Cochran so ardent
ly believes yet they will have a respect
for his manliness in acknowledging that
the election of last November meant the
triamph Of rejection and will have a
corresponding contempt for the deceit
and sophistry of that arch hypocrite
Grover Cleveland.

Protection Prohibits Trusts.

The Free-Traders give their attention
and their loyalty so exclusively to things
foreign that it is not surprising that
they should know little about home in
terests or home conditions. 1t has been
without effect-on them-that Protee-
tionists have pointed out over again that
domestic competition not only stimulates
invention and so reduces the cost OF
production but that it also serves to
keep prices at their normal level in res
peet to the cost of production So that
even if the Tariff rate werei in any parti-
cular case higher than necessary to
protect Americans against foreign pro-
ducers still it would not work to give
American producers excessive profits
There have been numerous cases where
through inadvertance or through the
impossibility of absolutely perfect ad-
justment of the Tariff the rate has been
higher than was necessary for Protec-
ton against foreign producers; but
nevertheless the price has been kept
down to its normal place by means of
home competition. Wire nails have
long served to point this fact. We may
now put them further to their legitimate
use and with them nail forever the Free
Trade lie that trusts formed for the pur-
pose Of exacting exorbitant prices -four
ish under the Protective system. The
collapse Of the wire nail trust proves
this. Its collapse was due wholly to the
the power of domestic competition, and
domestic competition will ruin every
trust whose object is to make excessive
profits. As nonpartisan weekly jour
nal has recently said speaking of the
callapse Of the wire nail trusts, "every
combination or trust which seeks to
maintain prices above normal profit,
carries in itself certainty of future
downfall The only monopolies which
have lasted many years in this country,
and bid fair to last indefinitely are those
which sell their products at competitive
prices"

holding II Republican Judicial Gonyen-
tiops in the State we're left to the commit
! tees in the respective counties Of the Judi
cial Circuits. Senator Wellington was
unanimously reelected by a rising vote,
chairman of the State executive com
mittee. The motion to re-elect was
made BY Congressman Mudd, who said
in part that "the Stateis Republican now.
and SO to remain. No one factor con

Mr. Wellington for reelection" Mr.
Wellington in accepting the honor said,
Il Thank you very heartily for renewed
confidence, and believe when the party
goes to the polls next November there
will be the same unaminity as before
There had been previous to toe assem-
cling Of the committee some evidences
Of faetional differences in the Republican
ranks ia Baltimore owing to the contest
for mayor between Col. Supplee and
Mr. Master, but Congressman Mudd
was on the alert and in the interest of his
party formulated plan by which the fac
tons were satisfied and, regardless of
who winsin the mayorolty contest, there
will be harmony in the Republican
party in Baltimore which will, beyond
doubt, assure the election of the Repub-
lican State candidates.
The Democrats too are trying to get
their party together by forcing Eugene
Higgins and Free" Raisin to the rear
but the prominence of Senator German
as a candidate to succeed himself will
make 1t an impossibility and Maryland
will stay for some years to come, where
she has rightfully belonged for years
past, in the Republican ranks. The
Democratic State Convention will be
held on July 2S in Baltimore city.

British Goods on Che Continent

Great complaints are made concern
ing the slowness, and still worse the
want of certainty in the date of delivery
OF goods ordered in England. In this
matter Continental exporters have con
siderable natural advantages over their
English competitors for goods dispatch
cd BY rail not only arrive quicker than
those which have to wait for a ship, and
then make along voyage; but the date
of delivery by rail can be calculated
with an exactitude which dispatch by
sea does not admit. Still, even in this
respect, there is possibility ofconsider-
able improvement improvement in Err
glish methods at least as regards sup
plying the important markets of Nothern
Italy. A statement of a simple fact will
show the direction in which such impro-
vements might be effected.
Some of the large agricultural
machine makers in the United States
established depots for their machines in
Liverpool for the purpose of more rapid
ly meeting the demands of Continental
buyers but the English shipping trade
not being organized to secure prompt
delivery on fixed dates machines are
shipped direct from America when GER
tain date of delivery is indispensable.
1t is said that there is no line of British
steamers with sailings from Liverpool
on fixed recurrent dates and arrivals at
Genoa on corresponding dates and while
the North German Lloyd line offers a
very fast service insuring certain and
frequent dates both for departure from
New York and for arrival in Genoa;
and moreover the freights from New
York are only 81 and per cent as
against Is shillings and 5 per cent.
charged from Liverpool. With such
facilities for traders it is not astonishing
that these German steamers are reported
as doing very good business and getting
full cargoes while English shipOwners
