Triumph. for Republican Policy.

The great and constant gains in the
sales of American manufactured goods
in the rest of the world is a magnificent
tribute to the foresight and courage OF
the Republican party By its judiciOus
tariff policy the Republican party saved
a large part of the American market to
the American producer, and this course
caused a home competition which en-
courag ed the invention which has de-
vised labor-saving appliances, while it
has at the same time advanced the pay
and shortened the working hours OF the
workers, giving them both the time
and the stimulus to the mental i'm
prOvement which has made the AmeTI-
can worker more intelligent than any
other in the world.
Here are the secrets in the increase
in the sales of American manufa ctures
in Europe and Asia. Americans have
better machinery and more Skillfu1 la
Dor than are found in other countries.
England, in seeking a superior grade
of iron and steel bridges and the work
ers who can put them up in the quick
est and the best fashion, comes to the
United States for them. France, Rus
STA and other European countries buy
most of their new locomotives of the
higher grades in the United States.
Thus this country is growing, in a
continually increasing degree, to be
a workshop for the world. AS a con-
sequence the number of idle workers
in the United States at the present time
is smaller than it ever was before. The
country has attained higher degree
of prosperity than ever was known in
the past Here are triumphs for Re
ublican policy which will gain hun
dreds of thousands of votes for the
party in the election of 19OO-Erie Dis

What wiz They poe

Word comes from New York that
Col. w. J. Bryan will in all probability
be the Democratic presidential nom
inee. His recent visit there seems to
have settled the matter. Four years
or so ego, when he visited the uetrop-
olis-in 1S96-his presence sent a shiv-
er through the financial centers. Prices
were affected in the exchanges if a
great disaster or a colossal failure had
taken place. 1t was the only case on
record where an individual visiting
New York caused general demora1iza-
ton IN the markets But it is differ
ent now His visit there a few days
ago did not have the slightest effect in
the exchanges. On the whole, they
were glad to see him, and Will prob
ably be much more so after he is nom
mated. They are, perhaps, fully aware
of what is in store for him after he
gets on the track and more. They
have an idea that the gold Democratic
press will desert him as it did before,
SO they really have nothing to fear.

The results of the plate cohesion
census Instituted by the American Pro
tective Tariff league show the extent
to which the cause of religion and mo-
rality has shared in the great increase
of prosperity which came to the people
Of the United States directly following
the election in 1896 Of William McKin-
ley as President of the United States.
This unique and interesting collection
of statistics is valuable, instructive
and gratifying. 1t proves beyond ques-
ton that gain in the material well
fare of country carries with it a gain
in the spiritual welfare of its people
1t proves that it is not true, as some
enemies of protection have claimed,
that the interests of the Christian re-
1igion are best promoted by poverty,
want, deprivation and suffering. 1t
proves the contrary, and every person
ought to be glad of what it proves
In the limited time allotted for the
collection of these church statistics it
is not surprising that larger num-
Der than 123 reports were received
from twenty-four states and territories
in answer to the Tariff lea gue's inquiry
as to the difference in the plate collec-
tions during the Wilson tariff year of
1895 and the Dingley tariff year of
1899 The surprise is rather that SO
many 123 church organizations con-
sented to make known the facts re-
garding the amounts realized from
plate collections.
From the returns received, embra
cling eleven different religious denom-
nations, it appears that there was
during the Dingley tariff year of 1899
a marked and substantial increase in
the sums of money deposited the
plates and in the contribution boxes
contrasted with the 1895 low tariff
period OF poverty and depression. The
Increase for 1899 amounted to 29-5S per
cent. A very creditable showing for
Mckinley and prosperity in the
churches, is it not?
The largest number of reports came
from Ohio where the increase was
1876 per cent. In but four states out
of the twenty-four reporting was a de-
crease shOwn-in one case of 25 per
cent, in another s per cent, in another
per cent, and in the fourth 21A per
cent It would be unfair to name these
states, as in each case the number of
churches reporting was small. and it
is certain that returns from a larger
number would have produced a very
different showing. The denomina tons

most impressive illustration of the
true character of the prosperity of this
country is furnished in the annual
statement of one of the leading life
insurance companies. In the report of
this company, which makes a speciality
of ''1nduStrial'' inSuranc@that is, the
insurance of wOrkingnlen and their
wives and families the plan of smaH
monthly payments-it appears that
during 1899 the company wrote to-
tai of about 1922, 100000 of new bust
dollars the largest increase in it's hiss
tory, land was a larger increase than
that shown by any other life insurance
company in the world
Consider for a moment the signifi-
canoe OF this showing. The increase in
new insurance of close upon S223, 900
900 in 1899 came almost entirely from
wage earners- 1t means that during
1899 money was more plentiful than it
had been for many years among those
who work for wages; that 1899 will
long be rememb ered as a year of sue
cess and prosperity. after conditions
causing for time great uncertainty in
the financial world; that during this
banner year Of Ding1ey tariff and Nc
Kinley prosperity factories and mills

PAPER. PULP AND TARIFF.
Doubtful ExpedIency OF Removing Al
Protective Duties.


In moving for the removal of all
tariff les from paper and paper pulp
imported into the United States, as a
means of destroying the sO-ealled mo-
nopo1y in the domestic production of
paper. certain claims are advanced by
the publishers which, if based on cor
rect knowledge of all the facts and
conditions, would seem TO be unan-
swerable arguments in favor of the
proposed change OF tariff schedules.
But it does not appear on careful ex-
animation that these claims are sup
ported by the facts and the conditions
It does not, for example, appear that
the placing of paper and pulp the
free list would have the desired effect,
that of cheapening the price of the
product, for the very obvious reason
that the price of newspaper is now
cheaper in the United States than in
any other country In fact, the adj
vance has been greater in paper prices
in Europe than in this country
The paper on which newspapers are
printed is dutiable in the Dingley tariff
at three-tenths of cent per pound, or
about Is per cent OF the present price
of paper This is a much lower rate OF
duty than that which is imposed on
almost all other lines of manufactures.
On wood pulp the current rate of duty
amounts to about II per cent of the
normal value of the pulp Not an ex-
orbitant rate either paper or pulp, it
must be conceded The tariff news
paper is now practically the same as it
has been for the past twenty or TWEEN
ty-hye years It is practically the same
as it was under the Wilson law OF
1894
In view of all these facts and condi-
tions, it is not easy to see just how the
manufacturers of paper are unreaSOn-
ably protected under the Dingley law,
nor is it any easier to see the wisdom
of depriving of the advantages OF pro-
lection giant industry which has
grown up the result of protection,
and which has demonstrated in a nota-
bic degree the advantage OF the protec-
tive policy in constantly lowering the
cost of the product to the consumer.
Such, as a matter OF indisputables fact,
is the history of paper making in tho
United States as regards the steady
cheapening of prices.

4 Benefit to the Human Race.

The effect of protection is merely to
limit the area OF competition to a peo-
pie subject to the same laws and gov
erned by the same aspirations. But,
as the creation of the grea test steel and
iron industry in the world and the ire
mendous success of other manufac-
lures witness, the imposition of heavy
protective duties has not worked to
stif1e competition in this country. On
the contrary, it has enormously slim
u1ated it, and while primarily benefit
ing Americans the protective tariff has
incidentally conferred a benefit upon
the entire human race, at least that
part of it which is Influenced by the
decreased prices due to improved proc
esses of manufacture and the conse-
quent expansion of production.-San
