PROTECTION IN FRANCE.

The industrial development of
France from the close of the Napo-
leonic wars to 1860, says Mr. Curtiss, is
without parallel in any continental
country. Under the protection which
then existed the growth of manufac-
lures was rapid and successful in every
particular. In 1860, however, a COM
mercial treaty was entered into be-
tween England and France, by which
France removed all prohibitions from
imports and substituted duties ranging
from 20 to 30 per cent on competing
manufactures. The experiment of this
duty which continued until 1882, was
unsatisfactory, and the French gov
eminent refused to renew it in that
year, and more vigorous protective
policy was restored. In 1885 the du-
ties on foreign products were raised,
and in 1891 a thoroughly protective
tariff was enacted, under which the
great prosperity and industrial activ-
ity which now exist have come to that
country.

PROSPERITY GALORE.

The Rc-Clcvc!andIzed Democracy Has No
Argument That Is Not Shattered by
the Happy Conditions Now Prevailing
Signs OF the Times.

Mr.. Bryan and his followers are hay
| ing hard time TO convince the farm
ers that they arc worse off in 1900
with protection and sound money than
they were in 1886 with the shadow of
free silver impending and free trade
law in operation.
A general comparison of articles of
farm consumption and farm produc-
ton between the two years completely
disproves the Bryan theory.
In the item of farm animals alone
the farmers are worth five hundred
million dollars more than they were in
Democratic days. The table printed
below, which is from the reports of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture, is worth study:

CHEAPENlNG OF
"CATTLE" LOANS.

The feeding of hogs and cattle with
corn, or the conversion of corn into
hog and cattle flesh, has developed re-
markedly the last three years as a fea-
ture of farming, and it is responsible
for large share of the increased con-
sumption of corn. The individual
stimulating cause has been the cheap
ening of money due to the sound
money victory of 1896.
This has enabled farmers to make
and by use of such funds to keep their
corn for feed and for raising hogs, in
stead of selling it, Four years ago
this cattle paper was not looked on
with any favor in the east Now from
forty to fifty million dollars annually
are loaned on it by eastern brokers.
The abundance Of money in the west
ern banks seeking investment has
forced competition in the placing of
these cattle paper loans until now they
are taken at three to four per cent
less than formerly. OF course this both
tends to increase the demand for corn
and to render its price more stable;
for instead of throwing corn on the
market at the harvest season, the
farmer can now keep it on the farm to
feed to cattle and hogs all the year
around. Cattle loans We're difficult, if
not impossible to negotiate in the
democratic days of 1S93-1S96.

THAT TAMMANY ICE TRUST.

To questions from his audiences
about the Tammany ice trust. Mr.
Bryan has repeatedly made this an
swer in the last ten days: There are
a Republican governor and legislature
in New York, and what have they done
to throttle the ice trust? The Repub-
lican governor of New York has not
time to bother with the ice trust, for
he is too busy out here telling you
about it."
Governor Theodore Roosevelt of New
York, months before the Tammany ice
trust became notorious. sent a mes
sage to the New York legislature ad-
vising action against trusts. The leg
islature passed and Governor Roose-
welt signed an antitrust act Under
this law the Republican attorney gen.
eral OF New York is now proceeding
against the ice trust This action the
Tammany stockholders are fighting at
every point.
The principal stockholders Of the ice
trust are Richard Croker, Mr. Bryan's
eastern manager; John F. Carroll, Mr..
Croker's chief lieutenant; Hugh j.
Grant and Thomas F. Gilroy. Tammany
ex-mayors: Augustus Van wyck, Tam
many candidate for governor in 1898;

WORKS ARE BUSY.

Four years ago the Cutter Hammer
company of Milwaukee, Wis, laid off
about one-half of their men, on ac-
count of insufficient business, and the
other half were employed only six
hours with six hours pay. Today,
every man is working full time and
receiving ten hours pay for nine and
a quarter hours work. The company
condition is similar to that of all
other electrical manufacturing con-
Germs.
The electrical workers know a good
thing-know how to continue prosper

AL-oELp.s GREAT DISCOVERY.

John p. Altgeld has made a great
discovery. 1t is that II you sell more
than YOU buy you are growing poorer.
Mr.. Altgeld revealed his discovery
last Thursday at New Haven, Conn. In
speech there he said;
This country Is being drained TO
pay tribute to foreigners. BY estaD-
fishing the gold standard 1t takes
twice as much of our products to pay
that tribute. During this administra-
ton we have parted with over 81, 900
900, 900 worth of goods more than we
received in return, and we have only
S137 900 900 to show for 1t. How long
can we stand an annual loss of nearly
$500. 900. 900? This amount of goods
goes abroad every year and disappears.
Mr.. Altgeld's figures are apparently
derived from the statistics of our for
eign commerce. In the fiscal years
1897. 1898, 1899, and 1900, we sold to
other countries goods valued at S4,-
900, GS5,559, and bought from other
countries goods valued at 1927, 643,-
225, leaving a balance or credit in our
favor of s1976, 042334. During the
same period we exported 1871, 639, 493
and imported 464,563,275 in gold and
silver, an excess of precious metal i'm
ports over exports Of $l92,923,7S2.
The Altgeld theory is plain. For
our s1.976042, 334 excess of merchan-
disc exports we have nothing to show
but our $780,, 923, 1872 excess of precious
metal imports, and so have grown
poorer by the difference between these
sums, which is S1,7S3,11S,552. Divid-
ing this by four we have S445, 1858,
Altgeld's annual loss of nearly $780,
900, 00O" the amount of good" which
he says "goes abroad every year and
disappears
Mr.. Altgeld's neighbors In Chicago,
however much as they have differed
from his (Altgeld's) opinions hitherto,
have considered him man OF inteiii-
gence. But his New Haven speech
must force a reversal Of that judg-
ment. To show the ineffable Stiffness
of Altgeld's annual loss OF nearly
$500, 900, 900" assertion we have but to
take the commonest concrete individu-
al case.
Farmer John Smith, after selling his
crops, paying his bills, and setting
aside enough for next years expenses,
finds that he has 81 900 left. He might
convert that 81 900 into gold coin and
bury it in his COW stable. Being
man. he looks about for an
He may lend his $1,000
to a neighbor on a mortgage, or he
may buy railroad, United States,
or even an English government bond
Now. Smith has parted with 81 900
worth of goods more than he receiv-
ed" and has "only piece of paper to
show for it," But is Smith poorer? Is
his British bond, if he choose that In
vestment, tribute to foreigners
Smith knows it is not for whenever
he cashes coupon he knows the
British taxpayer gives tribute to MIN.
Democratic stump speakers have
emitted many lunatic assertions, but
Altgeld's discovery that our favorable
.rade balance of s1,7S3, 1882 is not
gain but loss certainly caps the climax
Of folly. His doctrine that men or ma
ions grow poorer whenever they sell
more than they buy is the most ludi-
,rous argument" that this campaign
las produced Chicago Inter Ocean.

that about one-half of the membership
is at present without anything to do
and unable to find work in their line
in Omaha. 1t has been the practice OF
tradesmen in this line of work to go
on to Chicago when work was slack
in Omaha, but their fellow workers in
Chicago inform them that it is even
worse there, so there is nothing for
them to do but do the best they can
