as one OF the improvements in the demo-

democrats now have control OF many II

Taking only those States that have
large cities and that are in the column OF
more or less doubtful, the republicans IN
1896 were in control of New York and
Brooklyn, Buffalo, Jersey City. Cleveland
Toledo, Chicago. Detroit, Duluth, Mime

there were gold democrats in Cincinnati,

UBIQUITOUS DISCRIMINATION


The Post has before this pointed out
that the rapid expansion OF our export
trade. especially in the line OF manufac-
lures. has completely removed the least
and last excuse for the maintenance OF
high protective tariff by this country.
AS matters nov stand protective tariff
Is unnecessary extortion. The American
manufacturers not only are now able to
meet foreign competition at home, but
abroad. They are taking trade away from
foreigners in the home markets OF the
latter. The old theory OF the necessity OF
protection In order to develop our home
industries is no longer applicable to our
conditions. A noteworthy illustration Is
furnished in the statements OF an English
commercial traveller in recent issue OF
the British Boot and Shoe Trade Journal.

BRYAN AND THE MIDDLE WEST

New York Journal.
Under present conditions" a repub-
