With the splendid prosperity the
country is enjoying, and which has been
mainly wrought through the workings
OF the protective tariff, one of the cardi-
nal principles OF the Republican party,
the Democracy are taking steps to
evade the discussion OF this issue dur
ing the campaign by forcing to the front
the cry against Imperialism and other
irrelevant matters. The Democratic
party knows well enough that the sys-
ten of protection for home Industries
cannot be directly or honestly assailed
with success, as has been shown by past
elections, and for this reason it is
4lodglng the question. A newspaper
published in Bryan's state, the Mccook,
Nebraska. Republican, thus early in the
campaign calls attention to this mat
ter in the following words:
one OF the most significant features Of
the coming campaign will be the attempt
OF the Democratic party TO dodge the tartff
issue. The subject Of trusts, and OF the
attitude Of the United States toward the
Philippines. will undoubtedly be pushed TO
the fore by the Democracy. and tax and
duty problems Will be relegated to the
rear 70 far az possible so to do: But the
people are not 10 be fooled by catch
phrases and subterfuges They know that
free trade has always been the slogan OF
the Democratic party, and tina. the tnriI
Il burning issue to-day, rs 1t has been
since the birth OF the nation.
Commenting on these expressions, the
Boston Commercial says:
From the time Of the Caesars on
down through the ages the question Of
revenues has been one with which every
people has had to deal. Citizens OF tho
United States have lived under an ad-
mInistratlon which believes in and OPP
crates a protective tariff system, and
they have existed under a rule which
has for one OF Its basic principles the
free trade theory. Compare the times
Of to-day, rich in prosperity and con-
stantly increasing resources, with the
last Cleveland administration, repletU
with idleness and want; compare the
busy hum OF 10000 wheels, the smoke
from n thousand factory chimneys, with
tho silent machinery and dead fires OF
closed manufactures, and choose which
you will have.
1t is urged by many who profess a be-
lief In the policy of free trade that II il
taught through the textbooks in use
in most of the colleges and universities
Of the country and Endorsed by the ma
jority Of professors Of economics. ThIi
is true enough, but 1t should be remem-
berOd that In general authors of text
books and college professors are NOT
practical business men. What the peo.
pie want is the testimony Of the men

who are making this the greatest COM
msrcial nation Of the world. The sub
stsntlal evidences Of prosperity arc far
more satiAsyins than mere theoriea- ON
its face Inc policy OF free trade is q
very pretty theory; in practice 1t is q
roaring farce.
There seems no reasonable ground for
doubt that in the campaign Of 1900 Mr..
Mckinley. the recognized leader Of the
protectlonlst school Of politics, will
come before the people as a candidate
for re-eiection. II seems that the DEM
ocrats and PopulIsts OF the country Will
make an eftort to push the real issue In
to the background and substitute there
for the Philippine and other problems.
Let US not lose sight Of the fact that
these problems are but temporary, and
in all human probability will ultimately
work themselves out to the satisfaction
OF the great majority Of the people Of
the United States; on the other hand,
the tariff problem is q live issue, and
must In the very nature Of things be
such so long as government endures.
We owe 1t to our country. our wives and
our children to meet 1t face to face and
deal with it as intelllgently and wisely
as It is in our power to do. A protec-
tive tariff that fosters the interests Of
the worklngman and puts the nations
credit on a solid basis, or free trade

cry mouths and bankrupt the national
treasury-which shall 1t be7"

THE INTELLIGENcER,
wuEE1Ne. MARoh IL. 1900.
Unfair Reaecdons.

The Morgantown Post, which has been
quite active In charging all manner Of
political knavery against those Repub-
licans who have espoused the candi-
dacy Of a gentleman who Is opposing
Congressman Freer for the gubernator-
ial nomination, rather exceeds the
limits of partisanship when 1t says,
.iour veteran friends who know what
honesty and bravery is, denounee most
bitterly the early conventions held in
order to shut out comrade ETeer their
soldier candidate for governor"
The best answer we have seen to
these charges of unfairness is that
voiced by the Grafton Sentinel, which.
in its last issue, inquiries: What is the
matter with Judge Freer's friends?
Can't they go to early conventions just
as well as Whites friends CAM 1t is
said that the early bird catches the
worm, so why do not the Freer men get
out as early as the other fellows? The
Sentinel hopes that all these efforts to
stir up bad blood over the gubernator-
rial contest will not be persisted in. 1t
Is hard to understand why early con-
yentions are a disadvantage to Judge
Freer, or why they should give Mr..
White any special advantage over him.
1t is this papers understanding that
Mr.. White being anxious to develop his
strength n his own county especially,
and in his own congressional district,
requested early conventions, to ascer-
tain his strength in his own home and
district. Elc has declared on many oc-
casions that II he could not get the en-
dorsement OF his neighbors he would
retire from thu race. This it strikes
the Sentinel, is reasonable and fair
enough. judge Freer Is as well known
in the Fourth district as Mr.. White is,
and has the same advantage in an early
or a. late convention as his competitor
has. The Sentinel desires to see Moth
ing but harmony prevail in these con-
tests and believes that the good sense
and good Judgment of Republicans viii
be exerted to that end. We believe the
people stlll rule and are free to select
their candidates and that the men who
have the most friends among the
masses will get the nominations"

The market on Wall street during the
past week JAILED to respond TO the gem

for some reason or other. The only dis
coverable factors which have operated
to cause this somewhat sleepy condi-
ton have been the unfavorable none
tary conditions and not very eneourag-
ing developments with regard to indus
trial stocks. Another matter is to be
noted and that IS the approaching April
settlements, aud that period is not at
all calculated to relieve the stringency
complained Of. Henry Cleys, in his
weekly letter, however continues to
take the same hopeful view Of the sit
uation he expressed the previous week
He says:
aside from monetary influences and
weak spots In the industrials, the con-
ditions continue favorable and warrant
steady hopefulness regarding the fu-
ture. There is no abatement of trade
activity, and the prospects are that no
setbacks Of consequence need be ex-
pected for months to come. overtrad-
ing is not yet In sight, and buyers are
often more concerned about deliveries
than prices. The presidential election
Is approaching and will be a pretext
for delay among tImld souls; but it is
certain to be a much less disturbing
factor than usual. The iron situation
is emlnentiy satisfactory, and Mr.. Car
negie has taken the pains to publicly
express himself in regard to his expert
ence. Railroad affairs are also in good
form. despite occasional cutting on
eastbound grain rates. The roads are
taxed to thalr utmost with mix.l
fIeights, on which they are for once Sc
curing profitable rates. We cannot re-
peat too often that In our belief the
railroad shares offer the elements Of
safety and profit combined in larger
degree than any other class of invest
rnent. OF course discrimination Is
needed In buying, for not 4 few are
much too high to be considered bar
gains; but rome OF the properties, which
have recently become dIvldend-payers
as well as those which promise to be.
deserve investigation. Both western
and southern roads are doing remark
ably well, the latter being assisted by
better prices for cotton and the rapid
Industrial development of certain sec

A virtnnnr snnsm.

On the heels OF the closing of Wall
lacks theatre to the public as long as
the alleged immoral play "sapho' was
on the bills, comes another spasm Of
virtue instigated by the reformers Of
New York. in which they were aided by
three of the most influential papers Of
that city. 1t appears from all accounts
that wholesale bribery OF the pollce has
been going on; that proprletors of dens
Of vice and gambling places have been
paying fabulous sums for protection"
and that Tammany has been bleeding
everybody it could squeeze cent out
of. The crusade inaugurated appears
to have had some effect. forall establish
ments were notified by the police Sat
urday to either close up or ''go SLOW"
The latter term is meant in an advisory
gense not 20 be so flagrantly open.
But the question arises how long will
this order OF things last? It is init
mated that the keepers of these dens
were "cheered" up by the quite assur-
ance Of the police that the order to
keep closed would only hold until such
time as the talk about fragrant and
open vice had subsidized. Therein lies
the failure Of these periodical agitations
against law-breakers OF this class.
Enthusiasm is soon cooled, or the re-
formers imagine that their spasmodlc
efforts have accomplished the object
for all time. That the administration
OF the New York police department Is
venal cannot be doubted, and that
Tammany Hall is enrichlng Itself also
cannot be questioned. 1t is an awful
state of AFFAIRS as ventilated by the
New York papers. But what can be
expected when the chief of these black
mailers and benehclaries Of vice bra
zenIy admitted the situation on the Wit
ness stand, and impertInently inquired
what are you going to do about IT."
