PRACTICAL RESULTS
Reaped by Farmers from
the DingIey Tariff = Interesting
Statistics 10 Prove This.

Some interesting facts relative to the
operation of policy designed 10 benefit
American labor and industries, whether
CT the factory or the farm, are shown in
the treasury department statistics OF
the imports OF 20 leading articles dur
ing the first six months OF the Dingley
law, compared with the imports of the
same articles during the corresponding
six months of the preceding year under
the Wilson law. A decided falling of
ir our purchases Of foreign merchan-
disc is indicated throughout the entire
list, and in nearly every case the de-
crease in importation has necessarily
resulted in larger purchases OF home
products.
For example, while we imported dur
ing the first six months OF the Dingley
law 52,o0O,0o0 pounds OF wool, the inn
ports OF the corresponding six months
Of the previous year, when wool came in
free under the Wilson law, were "a, OO0.-
600 pounds. In fruits the figures show
S6,2O0,0o0 for the Dingley and $7.500,O00
for the Wilson law; in vegetables, s731.-
600 and S09s,00o, respectively; in hay,
S7,2G2 and Sj02,0O0; in oranges and
lemons, Sl,50O,o0o and $3,OO0.oOO; in
chicory, $4,000 pounds and 100000
pounds.
In manufactured articles the dscrep.
ancy Of importations for the two
periods Is equally marked. Tin plate
during the Dingley period was pur-
chased abroad TO the amount Of s0,000,-
600, while the quantity for the Wilson
period was loO,O00,ooO pounds; manu-
features Of fibers, Ss,7O0.O00 and $12,-
100000; manufactures OF wool, IS, 500,-
900 and S14,400,00O; pottery, $3,3G0,O00
and S5,o0O,0oo; lumber aud manufac-
lures Of wood, S5,60o,o00 and $s.750,ooo;
cutlery, 100000 and Ss5o,000.
Measured in dollars the decrease in
imports OF articles coming directly into
competition with domestic products
amounted to fully $4,000, 900 ia the first
six months Of the Dingley law, while
for the nine months ending March 81,
1898, the total decrease was $43,GG7,2os.
All this time the revenue receipts were
constantly increasing up 10 the point
where the war excitement began TO
have an injurious effect upon commerce
Of all kinds, and the Dingley law was
proving itself a splendid success alike
as TO protection and revenues. The con.
trast shown in the operation OF the two
laws is i'm al ways a striking one. 1t is
the contrast between sound and un-
sound fiscal policies, between the pa
triotic good sense Of protection and the
anglophobic folly OF free trade.

FREE sILvERITEs FOOLED.
The American Dollar Backed by Gold
worth Two Dollars I'm
Mexican Money.

The great power OF the American gold
standard dollar Is 20 be thoroughly
illustrated in the Philippines. Tho
news comes from Washington that the
government has purchased $50, 900 Mex
lean silver dollars, which Gen. Merritt
will take with him to the Philippines to
assist in defraying the expenses Of the
expedition. Ii is possible to buy MeXi-
can silver dollars for 46 cents, thus OBJ
tanning two Mexican dollars for ono
American dollar, and still have eight
cents TO apply on the purchase Of tho
third. The government bought the
100000 Mexican dollars for $4,000, the
deal being made In San Francisco. The
purchase is not sufficient to defray al!
the expenses of the expedition, OF
course, but more will be obtained and
sent TO Merritt from time 10 time as
they are needed. In the Philippines the
Mexican dollar buys more than the
American dollar, as 10 contains more
silver, and the expenses OF the eXpedi-
ton once landed in Manila will be just
one-half what they would be IL the con-
ditions were otherwise. The soldiers
will virtually draw double pay, for they
will be paid two Mexican dollars for
every American dollar due them on pay
day, and each Mexican dollar will pur-
chase more than their American dollar
would because that is a free silver coun-
try, II would naturally seem that when
an American silver dollar backed by
gold will purchase two Mexican silver
dollars, in which there is more silver
and which will purchase more in the
Philippines than the dollar backed by
gold, it is a pretty good indication that
the American dollars on firm founda-
ton and Is pretty good money to have.

BRYAN SHOULD BE FAVORED.
The President May aS Well Apply
the balm To His Wounded
Patriotism.

Mr.. Bryan's numerous admirers will
hear with regret that he has fallen
again. This time. however, he was not
preventing any imaginary crucifxions
on crosses Of gold, nor stopping the
placing OF imaginary crowns Of thorn
on imaginary brows. He was simply
running for colonel, or maybe captain,

All this is not very important, except

lie tried TO convince them by sophistical
reasoning that they would never see
dollar wheat again until silver flowed
from every mint in continuously
scintillating stream. At the same time
he partially convinced his host OF
farmer friends in Nebraska that the
mortgages on their farms were fixtures
unless they followed him, whitherso-
ever his teachings led them.
Since those gloomy days some new
light broke in. Wheat went sailing,
and the poor farmer saw dollar wheat,
and, more than that, wheat at figure
that approached dollar and a quarter.
Under this condition of affairs mort
cages were little things-so little, in
fact, that almost any kind OF farmer.
even though in poor health, could lift
one. Hence the cause OF the silver de-
tenders second fall The farmers were
suspicious, and declined to trust them
selves TO the leadership OF man who
had shown himself i'll prepared to pose
as a prophet or leader.
There is a balm, though. for the
wounded hopes and patriotism of Mr..
Bryan. Gen. Wheeler Is urging Presi-
dent Mckinley TO give Mr.. Bryan posi-
ton on his (Gen. Wheeler's) staff. This
Is an easy way out Of the trouble, and
the president will not incur any criti-
cism II he should generously give his
late opponent a position in the army
that BELTS his ability. Some may mis-
construe the presidents motives, and
think he Is trying to shelve probable
rival, but that is unreasonable. II he
should try TO put Mr.. Cleveland in the
face OF danger, that would be different,

UNSAFE GUIDES.
Exporters Abroad mud IdIers nj Home
Are the Two Classes That
want Free Trade.

Among the most vigorous advocates
of free trade as the proper policy for
the United States are the European
manufacturers and exporters, who see
great profit TO themselves in the posi-
bic monopoly Of the American market,
the most important market on the face
OF the globe, for the sale Of their wares.
These unselfish souls are never tired
of telling rs how deeply injurious the
protective policy is.
Another class Of opponents of the
system Of defending home labor and i'm
dustries against foreign competition Is
made up of what may be called respect
able idlers-people who have fixed in-
comes that are not drawn from nor de-
pendent upon the profits OF industrial
enterprises, and who, being merely con
sumers and in no sense producers, have
no interest i'm the matter except TO buy
what they require at the cheapest pos
sible price.
In both cases IL Is easy to see why
free trade is preferred 60 protection,
and also why this kind of advice is not
more generally accepted as a safe guide

The effect OF the Dingley law upon
manufacturing may he inferred in part
from the great activity IN most lines
which has been observed during the last
few months. a proof OF its bearing
upon industry Is found IN the fact that
importatons Of manufactured articles
during the first half yearof is existence
fell of more than 20 per cent. from the
importations OF the corresponding
months under The Wilson law. As 10
the benefits OF the protective character
OF the act, however, there never has
been any question in the minds OF the
mass Of voters. Thus far the repub-
lean party has every reason TO be proud
OF the legislation which IL enacted with
such expedition.-Buf Express.
