M'kiNLEY STRADDLES.
The Presidents Attitude on the
Money Question.

No sooner has President Mckinley
delivered himself of most emphatic ut
terances on the financial question in
his New York after-dinner speech than
all the newspaper editors in the country
fall to quarreling with each other over
what the speech meant.
There is no other man in the United
States who can say so much that sounds
convincing while he is saying it and
which means so many different things
when il is said This gift may be
gratifying TO the president. but it is the
cause Of much anguish of spirit on the
part of his friends.
In New York the president. with ear
nest and impressive words, pledged the
government as follows:
Nothing should ever tempt us, moth
ing ever will tempt us. to scale down the
sacred debt of the nation through legal
technicality. Whatever may be the lam
guage of the contract, the United States
will discharge all its obligations in
the currency recognized as best
throughout the civilized world at the
time of payment"
This declaration has set the gold clique
wild with joy as proof positive that
the president was at last thoroughly
committed to the monometallic gold
theory of currency. For the moment,
doubtless, the president thought he was
believer in the single gold standard,
but he did not confine himself to the
+, statement quoted.
| With true Mckinley evasion he wan
dered on and away from the narrow
golden gate and said I'VE are. there
fore, opposed TO the free coinage of sill
yer except by international agreement
with the leading commercial nations of
the world, which we pledge ourselves to
promote
Thus. by quoting the republican plat
form. the president cast down the high
hopes of the gold advocates and, in the
| forceful but inelegant language of the
gambling table, may be said to have
"straddled" the financial question.
Everybody seems to be agreed thai the
president delivered very important
speech in New York the other night.
Every body says II will go ringing
around the world. But no two people
can be found who can agree on exactly

DUPlNG WORKINGMEN.
The Poor Victims Of Protection and
the Trusts.

The thousands Of protected working
men who are now walking around"
looking for some capitalist who will
permit them to work may congratulate
themselves that Grover the Fat is worth
five or six millions of dollars; that the
Standard Oil company's profits during
the year were over $50,000,000, and
that j. Pierpont Morgan controls near
ly one-third of the railway mileage of
the United States; that the sugar trust
is making 60 per cent. profit; that Pull
man left S30,000,000; and that Mark
Hanna's SIS Mckinley. in the interest
of the poor national banker, has urged
congress to authorize the comptroller
of the currency TO issue-loan-m money
to the poor national banker at the rate
of one-half of one per cent. and which
the banker can loan at eight or ten
per cent, or. in other words, Mark
Hanna's SIS Mckinley desires the gov
ernment-the people-to issue to his
masters, the bankers, 81 900 in money,
for which the poor national banker
shall pay the goyernment-the people
five dollars per year, and for which
it is expected the people-the govern
ment-will pay the poor national bank
er from $50 to 800 per year in advance
The work the people may further con-
graduate themselves upon is that IL
they cannot obtain the consent of some
capitalist to be allowed to work, they
they are free men, and they can either
steal or starve.-Rights of Man.

M'KiNlEy ON THE DlNGLEY LAW
False Claims of the Protection Pres
Ident


President McKinley's address at the
Banquet in New York of the National
Association of Manufacturers was even
more beggarly in tone and incon-
sistent in declaration than was Secre-
tary Cages speech at Philadelphia
earlier in the week.
The secretary of the treasury insult
ed the intelligence of the American peo-
pie by an attempt to reconcile to BIZ
metailism his currency reform scheme.
the title of which is ''to commit the
country more thoroughly TO the gold
standard and remove, as far as possible.
doubts and fears on that point" BY
following similar line of argument in
his New York speech President Me-
kinley has added to the Gage insult.
The president, with the unctuous
manner often assumed by advocates of
a weak cause, tried to make black APP
pear white. He congratulated the man
ufacturers upon the prospect of extend
ing, 'not their notes, but their busi-
ness" When first he addressed them,
he said, they were trying to regain
what they had lost the previous year.
He intended this to mean that they had
suffered actual loss of trade territory
by the operations of the Wilson tariff
law and had not only already regained
all that was thus lost, but had really
extended that territory by the opera
tions of the Dingley law
Taere is such wide divergence in
the presics nt's professed view Of this
effect of the law and OF tie expressed
opinion made by its author on the
floor of the house at Washington few
days ago as to leave no common
ground for these two great apostles of
protection to stand upon. Mr.. Dingley
confessed that protection could never
be effective as long as there were no
uniform restrictions upon the hours of
labor in this country. In other words,
protection narrows the market to the
home consumer, and the only way in
which production can be made profit
able under such system is to restrict
it, by act of legislation, within the de-
fined limits of consumption.
President Mckinley told the National
Association of Manufacturers that they
'are now to go out and possess what
you have never had before"-meaning
thereby that the Dingley law was
opening new, broader and more profit
able markets for them.
The Dingley plea for a constitutional
amendment to restrict and equalize
hours of labor, in order to limit pro-
duction as the only means by which
protection will ever be effective, ex-
poses the fallacy of the presidents the
ory. The strike of New England cot
ton spinners because of a heavy reduc-
tion in their wages caused by overpro-
duction is fat denial, in the most
positive and practical manner, of the
presidents claim that the Dingley law
has wdened the market for American
manufacturers.
However, most of the men who
listened to the presidents speech were
aware that his claims were false, for
they are men whose judgment ulti-
mately is Influenced only by the most
practical test-results. With possibly
a very few exceptions, not a manufac-
turer who heard the presidents lame
defense of Dingleyism has experienced
any benefit from that policy except as
IL fosters trusts and limits production.
