. cap,.r, to Protection.

The latest and most prominent con-
vert to the doctrine OF a protective
tariff is Hon William r. Grace, former
mayor OF New York and leading
Democrat OF national reputation. Mr.
Grace was for years one Of the strong
est free traders, standing in close sym
pathy with Cleveland and Wilson. Mr..
Grace says:
Il am not ashamed now TO say that
in the light OF recent events l have
completely changed those views and
now see. as I believe, clearly that the
amazing growth in all that makes for
permanently prosperous conditions and
in all influences that have so recently
established the United States as a first
power among the nations of the world,
not only politically. but financially and
commercially, is due in great measure
to the policy OF protection"
Mr.. Grace says facts are stronger
than theories:" and the facts of the
past two years under the Dingiey law,
as compared with those under the VIII
son law, are enough TO overturn any
theory and convince Mr.. Grace or any
other free trade Democrat-Tacoma

The imitation OF the most famous OF

Quoted on as large or larger scale to-
day than ever before. There are. how
ever, some notable exceptions to this
rule. For example. 1t Is a fact now
generally recognized that the best cut
glass In the world is the American:
but in some other lines OF manufacture
the sentiment OF the Euromaniacs is
sim very strong.
To illustrate; In many lines of silks
and woolens made by American man
ufacturers foreign brands are still used
very largely. representative of the
American Economist met one OF our
largest manufacturers few days since.

as American the people who are seek
ing foreign goods constantly would
claim that my product should be sold
al 20 per cent less than can sell these
same goods to a foreign importing
house. Consequently / will introduce
these goods through an importing

In time the American people will be

m. Cotton ,In. and protection.

A year or two ago there were many
complaints OF the declining cotton
manufacturing industry OF New Eng
land. but we are glad TO learn from the
Springfield Republican that there is
now a complete change for the better;
tha; the mills everywhere are actively
employed; that prices are firm; that
the export demand s good; that the
home marke; is strong, and that the
business is generally profitable. Mills
which had suspended dividends are re-
sumIug 4 distribution OF profits. and
many others are increasing dividends.
The AmOskeAg's current semi-annual
dividend is per cent. against I per
cent paid six months ago and per
cent In the hrst half OF 1898.
The Republican does not tell us
that this recovery Of prosperity on the
part OF the New England cotton mills
Is due to Republican protection, as
that would be too frank an admission
for Cleveland mugwurnp TO make;
but as the cotton mill prosperity has
come along with all the. other indus
trial prosperity since the triumph OF
Republieanisrn in 1896 and the enact
nent OF The Dingley law IN 1897, 1t is
a fair inference that the adoption OF
the protective policy by the nation has
something to do with minneapolis
