Protection and Free silver Coinage.

Republican Glasses" in Sunday IS
Star broke loose in an unexpected man
ner. They made a bid for the Demo
Gratis of free silver coinage proclivities,
by assuring them that only through the
party of prutection-the Republican
party-could they secure the free and
unlimited coinage of silver. The writer
said:
In no other way under the coIden
sun can silver be re-established and
maintained in this country than by
protacting it with the panoply of the
Republican protective tariff, raised To
g height never dreamed of by Horace
Greeley himself.
A high tariff wall will make silver
currency Q practicability in the United
otates. In other words. il HANDY,
Hogg, Henderson and the rest of this
asnirates want to continue in the silver
faith, they must become proteutionists
of the most radical kind. But tbs min
ute they embrace the doctrine of
American protection they are loat as
Democrats.
The chief feature Of this remar kable
deliverance lie the puncture it makes in
the lavish Republican pretensions in
favor OF sound money. That many Re-
Pupiicsns are IN favor OF free silver
coinage which is closely akin to pro-
teetion, is an assured fact, and they
snoutea ior sound money during the
last campaign merely as a matter Of
expeuiency' IN ths hope of drawing
Demoeratie votes to the Republican
party. NOW another cue is given by

The New England Cotton Mills.

The depressed condition of the cotton
manufacturing Industries OF New Eng
land. and the reductions Hoon to
60 into effect there, are a source of
much disquietude to the Morning News.
OF course, according to it's reasoning,
such things ought not to be under the
Dingley bill--hut they are. Pushed
for an explanation, the News claims
that the trouble is the competition of
Southern mills, with their lower WACO
rate and longer hours OF labor. Next it
will pe advocating protective tariff
for the benefit Of New England and
against the South. 1t ignores the fact
that the New England mills have 40
long depended upon the tariff. instead
of keeping up with the procession"
in the way of improved methods Of
manufacture and modern business prin-
ciples, that they have at last been far
outstripped in the competition. Even
the high rates OF the Dingley bill afford
them no relief, and the hill stands CON
fessed as fraud and failure SO far as
England cotton mills is concerned, to
cay nothing from other points Of view.
We refer the News to the following
explanation Of the state of affairs in
the New England mills made By ths
Hartford Post, newspaper published
fright on the spot" as it were:
There is too much old machinery 10

pie want, the whole evil would not be
overcome. The manufacture must he

can compete with the North in the

ought to be. The skill of the opera :
tives, surrounded with New England
conditions, may bo greater than that

TO attain. Even with handicnu of

This New England paper, which
knows more about the situation than
the Morning News does, evidently
places little reliance upon the Southern
competition "bugaboo. 1t gives the
real facts of the case, and does not
mince its words in doing go.
There is no 'lecaderce OF cotton
spinning" in this country. as the News
says, even though the New England
manufacturers may have fallen by tho
wayside in the race for business. Com.
petition is not decRdence. The exports
of manufactured cotton goods by this
country are constantly increasing, hav-
ing more than trebled sincs 1880. They
are far in excess Of the imports. Keen
business methoda and the latest i'm.
provements in machinery have brought
this about and the facts are not lack.
ing to SHOW why the mills OF New Eng
land have not kept pace with the growth
OF the business throughout the country.

Interested in the Senatorial contest,

to tie prospect that Senator Hanna

We are of tho opinion that the Union
