PROSPEROUS ONCE MORE.
Pulled by Protection Out Of the
Quagmire of Free-Trade.
(Trenton IN. Y Times, Nov. o.

NAAoAsoA Wv ~ NNH'~Si -'O's ~
1t lis not in the power of any ALI
ance of Democrats, Populists, Mug
wumps and other insane forces to
undo the Dlngley act. The saving
common sense of the people is its
sure defense against the mouthings
rantings of the organs, Weavers,
GJlkins and Schurzes. We are on
the edge of winter.
There are no armies of the home
less and unfed waiting to parade the
streets in demand of "work or
Bread" as in 1898, when the Wilson
Tariff was an oppressive force. The
reply of 2,2ao manufacturing con
Germs in widely separated parts of
the Union to a circular of inquiry
recently issued by the American Ec-
onomist is that in March, 1895, they
had 2o4, $50 employees on their pay
rolls.
This was when the Wilson bill was
in operation. In March, 1898, the
same firms were employing 200, 1923
men. This is an increase of 81 per
cent, which is not far from one
third. The average pay of the per
sons employed in March, 1895, was
$34. 90 per month. The average
rate for March, 1898, was S3S.
That is to say, wages in March of
this year were about 9 per cent. bet
ter than in March, 1895, and the
number of wage-earners was nearly
a third greater. But since March
there has been further improve
ment in trade, so that today work is
almost as plentiful as in 1892 and
wages rapidly are approaching the
high standard of the year
in which many farmers and labor
ers were deluded by agitators into
fixed, and sadly too successful,
resolve to smash the Protective
Tariff.
Nor has the manufacturer less
cause for rejoicing that the work
man. Not only in the purchasing
power of the home market restored
bv the efficacy of the Dingley act,
but large foreign market is added
to il. Foreign nations have been
purchasing American manufacture
es at the rate of 81, 900, 900 week.
Our foreign sales of typewriters,
bicycles, sewing machines and cleo
trical machines have of themselves
reached the sum of SI4, 655,849 dur
ing the last year. We have been
drawing more millions of gold
from Europe under the Dingley
Tariff than we were exporting to
ii under the pressure of the Wilson
act.
We are prosperous once more.
We have been pulled by the cords
of Protection out of the quagmire
in which Cleveland's ee-Trade
policy had ingulfed us. The forei-
gn exchange business of one bank
in Chicago reached the vast sum of
$40, 900, 900 during the last year.
Nor has the Dingley Tariff failed
as revenue producer. But for the
unexcepted expenditures of war, the
revenue under the Dingley act would
be sufficient to leave comfortable
surplus Of 81, 900, 900 in the Treas
ury at the close of the present fiscal
year. The receipts from tariff dut
les were $3L952,542 for June; the
expenditures of the Government were
S22,934,694.
To state the case briefly, the Din
gley Tariff has reopened our factor
les, has revived our agriculture, has
stimulated our mining industry, has
given us a vast foreign market, and
has produced revenue ample for all
the expenditures Of Government
in time of peace. 1t needs no de-
fense.

The peace commission has CON-
pleted its work and the articles are

the senate refusing to ratify is sim
ply twaddle. When it comes to the
test there will be practically no op-
position.

a NET addition to the stock of gold coins.
The principal coinage was by the United
States Great Britain, Russia, Germany,
Austria Hungary, France, and Japan
The extraordinary coinage OF the year
is accounted for by the preparations ol
Russia. Austria Hungary, and Japan lot
their monetary reforms. In the case OF
prussia particularly gold, which has
been accommodating for years, much OF IL
in oars. was passed through the minis
to prepare it for circulation.
"The completion of Russia's plans OF
