A Volume of Tariff Argument.

When the disastrous Gorman.Wi
tariff was enacted, In 1894, one of the
claims which its sponsors set up in its
behalf was that its reduced duties would
Improve the quality" of the clothing of the
American people. AS matter of fact, as
the trade statistics show, II had exactly
the opposite effect. Instead of improving
the clothing of the people, 1t degraded II
by admitting great quantities of cheap and
worthless foreign fabrics which high duties
had keep out, and by driving Amerc IN
manufacturers to the use of fiimsy sub
stitutes for the fleece OF the sheep that were
sacrificed. twenty fold multiplication
of our imports of foreign shoddy was one
of the first tangible consequences of Tariff
reform"-and the German Wilson law right
fully goes down to history as the ''shoddy
tariff" But 1t is significant that the re-
establishment of protection in the Dingley
law has put a quick stop to these huge
purchases OF foreign shoddy, In 1897, the
last year of German. wisconsin, our inn
ports of foreign shoddy, rags, &c, were
49,9l3,732 pounds. In 1898 our purchases
of these articles fell to 3,29s,751 pounds,
and in 1899 they fell to the merely nominal
amount of Sl4,54O pounds. There is a
whole volume of tariff argument In these
simple figures. Boston Journal.

Conditions Have Changed.

General David B. Henderon. who WILL
without doubt, be the next speaker of the
| House, to succeed Mr.. Reed, has no fears
about the success of the republican party In
| 1900 and the continuance of our present
national policy. he is quoted as saying in
| reply to the question whether in his opinion
Bryan would be the democratic candidate
for the presidency next year: HE may be,
but II he is, he will get much smaller vote
than he did three years ago. The Granger
states, which in 1896 voted for Bryan,
entered the republican column In 1898.
They will be found there In 1900" Evil
IDENTIFY the General is of the opinion that
the people of the country know God
thing when they see il and are not going to
risk the substantial benefit which they have
received through the restoration of protec-
tion for any fancy promises on the part of
Mr.. Bryan or any one else. The election
of Bryan would mean change from pres.
ent conditions, and no change could mean
greater prosperity than that which we now
enjoy. In 1896 the constant cry of the Bryan
ties was: Amy change must be for the bet
ter; nothing could be worse than present con-
ditions." They were not far wrong, for the
conditions then existing, as the result of
free-trade tariff tinkering, were such as to
bring the country almost to the verge of
revolution, But to-day it is different.
Conditions are such that any change from
American labor and industries would in
evitably be change for the worse,
