Van Wick and the Tariff

Judge Augustus Van Wyck, who was
put forward to make an exposition Of
Democratic principles and intentions at
the SO dinner In New York, attacked
the present tariff as the first and chief
offense of the party in power. Under
this tariff the American farmer was
able to export eight hundred millions
Of dollars worth of produce in the year
1898 and the American manufacturer
more than three hundred millions of
locomotives, machinery and other prod
ucts Of the American mechanics. There
has scarcely been n month since the
Dingley law went into effect that the
value of manufactures has not in
creased, despite the prophecies Of Judge
Van Wyck's party. With nine-tenths
Of the Democratic party clamoring for
a fight on the free silver platform and
the other tenth basing their hopes of
success on attacking the Dingley law,
the election next year will be an easy
triumph for President McKinley.-Phil-
adelphia Press.

Room for Improvement.

In the very elaborate and costly
menu provided for the distinguished
company of statesmen and men or
business present at tho complimentary
dinner rendered to Senator Frye OF
Maine in recognition of his successful
efforts in behalf of New York's marine
commercial interests there was much
that appealed to the palate of the cpl
cure. The eating and the drinking
would class as Al, judged by the
standards of gastronomy. But 1t
might have been very much better,
judged by the standards of practical
patriotism and pride in our own coun-
try and it's products.
The opportunity for Improvement
lay in the accessories to the banquet.
Out Of six wines on the card not one
was an American wine; out of an as
sortment Of Liquors not one was an
American liqueur; out Of the cigars
smoked not one was an American-made
cigar; and the single table water fur
nished bore foreign label. Everything
In these lines of refreshment had a for
eign trademark. The producers OF
American wines, waters and cigars OF
the highest grades Of excellence justly
complain of such discrimination. They
rightly ask for a fair chance to COM
pare their goods with those of foreign
production, and it Is full time their
rights in this regard obtained some rec
opnition

Protection and the Farmer.

The report Of the Agricultural De-
partment showing the increasing ex-
tent to which foreign countries were in
1898 purchasers of the agricultural
products of the United States presents
some interesting facts Illustrative Of
the wisdom of an economic policy
which promotes the foreign trade and
domestic trade ut one and the same
time. Domestic exports of all kinds in
1898 exceeded imports of all kinds by
the enormous sum Of $594, 242, $50,
which was more than double the ex-
cess Of the preceding year, the largest
reported up to that time. Agricultural
exports for 1893 amounted to 1898 per
cent. of the whole, being gain Of
nearly % per cent. over 1897. There
was, on the other hand, marked de-
crease in 1898 Of purchases of foreign
agricultural products as contrasted
with the fiscal year 1897, when under
the free wool provisions Of the Wilson
law we imported $53, 243, 191 worth of
foreign wool, against less than seven
teen million dollars worth under the
Dingley tariff in 1898,
The American farmer had much the
best of the situation in the first eleven
months of restored protection, as his
sales to foreign countries more than
doubled the value of our imports of for
eign agricultural products, the excess
amounting to $544, 216,146. Altogether,
the agricultural export and import fig
ures for 1898 show well for protection
and its benefits to the American
farmer

There was no embalmed beef and no

without due consideration and regard

lean sovereignty over the Philippines,
which was guaranteed by the peace
treaty, will be agreed to by the Fill
pinos, who will have all the home rule
they can stand with safety to the in
terests of the United States and of

from time to time be extended as the
Filipinos become fitted to use it. All
this can be promised with the utmost
confidence. Long before the Demo
cratic convention of 1900 meets Aguin-

satisfied with the American connection
that they would fight against anybody
who would want to end it. In every

from trunk which the two men, distrust

strong box. Mary Neale, their domestic,
was suspected. but there was no direct
evidence against her and no action was
taken. Recently, however, the Neale
woman was arrested at kalamazoo and
made a confession, duplicating Daniel

Cobbledick denied completely in the rob

Bryan's Soul Being Tried.

Poor Bryans soul is being tried In
various ways these days. Even silver
is going back on him. 1t Is going up
like all other things, especially wages,
in these days of Republican prosperity.
Bryan got bad blow just after his de-
feat in 1896, when wheat and many
other commodities advanced in price.
The advance, as every one knew, was
largely due to his overthrow. A year
or so afterward, when Republican leg
islation began to operate, wages started
upward. Now silver has joined the
procession. The consequence of this
last advance will be that If 1t continues
much longer Bryan will have to drop
talking about silver. When silves goes
above the 5O-cent dollar line, as 1t may
do IL the advance continues little
longer, he will have to abandon 1t. 1t
is not silver dollar primarily that he
wants for the wage earners of the coun-
try, but dishonest dollar. The moment
that silver gets above the 50-cent dollar
mark his faith in 1t will begin to wane.
1t will be getting too near the honest
money line then to be of much use In
his business. If we are to have the 10
to trickery in the canvass of 1900 sill
yer will have to start downward long
before that time.-St. Louis Globe
