OOne of the most prominent silver
ties who departed from the republican
party in 1896 was ii. l.. Loucks, of South
Dakota. Last week, however, he came
back to the old party as delegate to
republican convention. The expan-
sion sentiment in the new states which
went for Bryan in 1896 is bringing those
who left the republican party for sill
yer or populism back to the republican
ranks.-Indianapolis Journal.
UThe fight to rid the democratic par
ty of the free silver issue is being car
ried on Systematically and with vigor
that will cause the Bryan people much
trouble II it does not result in their be-
ing won over entirely. That the move
ment is concerted and widespread is
becoming more apparent every day.
When we consider that the party was

DEMOCRATS, TRUSTS, TARIFF.
Failure of Free Traders to Pull
Down the Wall of Pro-
lection.

The story that a Chicago engineer
has an engagement to demolish the Chi
nese wall impels the st. Louis Republic
to the following:
1.-The American high tariff should follow
its side-partner, the Chinese wall, into the
limbo of oblivion. 1t Is of very much the
same order There may have been time.
in the early days OF this country, when q
proscriptve tariff was needed for the pro-
lection of our Infant industries That
time has passed, however, and the favored
infant industries have developed into un-
grateful and oppressive trusts. The hour
is ripe for the demolition of the protective
Chinese wall. The democratic party pro-
poses to undertake the contract in 1900. as
a feature OF its war on the trust evil"
The democratic party has undertaken
to pull down the protective tariff on
divers and sundry occasions ere this,
and most awful muddle it has made of
the business. With its Wilson law it
succeeded in knocking off the crown of
the wall here and there to the lament
able confusion of American industrial
life, and when the next annual election
came the rumblings of republican
landslide were heard. There vas not
such an inspiration in the dismal cx-
pertinent that any party should care to
repeat it.
Nor is the old tariff issue radically
changed by the increase of trusts.
Trusts flourish in free trade England,
and if they were the inevitable and pc
cular product of protection they would
have reached maturity long before this
present democratic catching at straw.
There is little matter of cause and eff
feet here that will have to be estab-
lished before it is accepted by the coun-
try. a mere assumption will not do.
Meantime the ease of protection will
remain what it always has been. In his
article on Webster in Scribner's Sen
ator lIoar points out that that great
statesman found permanent reason
for supporting protection in the secur-
ity it afforded and the promise it gave
to American labor. The senator in
dorses it on the same ground and so
does the republican party. This is one
explanation of the party's many sue
cesses after the issues of the war were
over. The votes that have sustained the
| protective tariff have been the votes Of
worlangmen and of the farmers who
| feed them, and in confusing the trusts
with the tariff the democratic party
antagonism where il is trying most
sedulously to curry favor.-Chicago

OPENED THEIR EYES.
silver Republicans Have HID Les
son which VIII Do Them
Much Good.

In the next congress the so-caled "siver
republicans" will be found back in the old
camp. Senator Cannon, of Utah, says "the
silver jig is up: there's nothing left of it,"
Former Senator PETER. of Kansas, leads a
secession of the republican element from
the populist camp back to their old connec-
ton. Senator Teller, of Colorado may
stay out in sheer bitterness of spirit, but
the golden deluge has simply swamped the
free silver delusion and turned all the
theories and assertions on which it rested
TO foolshness.-Buffalo Commercial.
The republican party added another
chapter to a noble history when it took
its stand so unflinchingly against the
cheap money delusion. The country
owes it a debt of gratitude which can
never be fully repaid. Yielding to the
silver folly would have been as disas-
trous as surrender to the fiat money
idea of 20 years ago, and would have
brought upon the United States finan-
eial ealamities so appalling that recov-
cry from their effects would have been
impossible for a generation ut least.
The march of industrial progress would
have been almost hopelessly retarded.
and the unparalleled prosperity and en-
largement of our foreign trade, now
the marvel of the world, could not have
been brought about.
1t is doubtful even if, with our ma
ional credit seriously If not permanent
ly impaired, we could have protected
the national interests when in danger.
The trouble with Spain might have had
a different ending. 1t is to the credit
of the "silver republicans" that they
are getting their eyes open and return
ing to the fold. But how much wiser,
better and more patriotic it would have
been had they stood stanchly by their
party, which upheld the financial honor
of the country, instead of following
the popocratic banners that led to de-
feat and humiliation!-Troy Times.
