PRoTECTIoN AND PRIoEs.

Fifty years ago 80 per cent of all the
carpets consumed in this country were
imported from abroad Today, accord
ing to Mr.. George McNeir, secretary for
w. & J. Sloane, 80 per cent of the car
pets consumed in this country are
made IN the United States. The
amount of capital invested in the car
pet industry has increased from 81
900 900 in 1850 to $50, 900, 900 in 1901
and the yearly output of carpets has
increased from So, 900, 900 to SIS 200, OOO
Some As GOO persons are now employed
in the carpet mills. According to Mr..
McNeir, too, 1.-The wonderful growth in
this industry is due more largely to
the protection afforded by tariff 1egis-
1ation than to all other causes com
bined'' The growth of the industry
furthermore, has been accompanied by
a material reduction in prices. Tween
for 1925 per yard; now they sell for
less than two-thirds of that amount.
Twenty-Five years ago Moquette car
pets sold for 81 per yard; now they sell
for less than half of that amount. The
history of the carpet industry affords
a very good illustration of what the
protective tariff policy has done for
this country. Through it both produc-
er and consumer have been benefited.
Capital has found opportunity for in
vestment with good returns, labor has
found employment at good wages, and,
at the same time, the consumer has
had the advantage of decreased cost
of production and a consequent lower
ing of prices.

BARLEY AS AN ILLUSTRATION.

A free trade organ says. General
Grosvenor is still talking about barley;
if there were no tariff to exclude this
grain our barley growers, he says,
specimen of free trade argument
General Grosvenor never said a word
about our barley growers starving to
death under any circumstances.
But he did say tiat before the pas
sage of the Mckinley bill in 1890 over
IL 900 900 bushels of barley, worth
nearly 81 900 900, were imported from
Canada in one year, while in recent
years the imports have not exceeded
100000 bushels AS the price of bar
ley has been lower since the exclusion
harmed by the tariff on barley. If the
tariff were removed the imports from
Canada would be much larger now
than before, owing to greater area
available for cultivation. General
Grosvenor says that it would be SUI
preme folly to remove the tariff and
put millions of dollars in the pockets
of Canadian farmers at the expense OF
our farmers, and any sensible
man who understands the question
will agree with him
Gen. Grosvenor merely used the bar
ley question to illustrate the beneficent
effects of the protective tariff As we
exported in the fiscal year 1900 barley
to the extent OF %, SOL $50 bushels, and
Representative Babcock advocates the
removal Of the tariff on all articles ex-
ported, under his proposition barley
would go on the free list, solely to the
venor pointed out the extreme folly of
such course, and his argument to
that effect is sound and unimpeach-

SOMETHING DOING.

Something doing becomes more
than mere slang phrase under Ding
ley law conditions. There is some
thing doing for the hundreds of thou
sands of workman who have continu-
Gus emp1Oymen Mt in place of idlecess;
something doing for the nanufact1r-
erS, who see a balance the right
side of the ledger; something doing
for the railroads and the employees OF
the railroads in the handling
of many more tons of freight daily
than ever before in their history;
something doing for the farmers in
performing the task of feeding the mil
lions of prosperous, happy, clamorous
industrial workers. In short, there is
not only something doing in con-
trast to the nothing doing in Wilson
law days, but there is more than some
thing; there is very great deal doing
all along the industrial line.

UNITED STATES AND RUSSIA.

There is every indication, officially
and unoficia1ly, that Russia is not
seeking a commercial war with the
United States, and that SO far from
combining with Germany or other Eu-
ropean governments in a tariff war
against US, she wishes to be on terms
of the best commercial amity with
We know this has been her policy for
three-Quarters OF a century, and there
is no reason that trif1ing sugar tariff
question should disturb 1T. There is
no hostility either the part of the
Russian government or the Russian
people against the American govern
ment or people
Gen F. D. Grant, just home from
a trip through Russia, provides some
facts that will probably astonish many
whose opinions have been care1esSly
formed. and viii serve to confirm the
more conscientious judgment of Others
So far from finding in the cars do
main any sentiment favorable to Euro
pean commercial com bination against
the United States, General Grant found
a distinctly friendly feeling among the
upper and middle classes, and a sense
of genuine regret that any tariff dis
pute, with its posi- bility of damaging
consequences, should have arisen be-
tween the two countries He reports
also the visible evidences of remark

FREE TRADE SPIRIT.
DEsPToABLE FALSEHooDs REsoRTED
TO BY COBDENITES.
Their Industrious Efforts to Make Tt
Appear That President Mckinley Had
Decided Abandon the Policy of
Protection.

On the day that President Mckinley
was shot the Toledo. o., Bee published
the following in reference to the Presi-
dents speech at Buffalo. The down
right fa1sehoods of it are well matched
by the detestably mean spirit of it:
ITO advocate reciprocity is to admit
everything that was ever claimed for
free trade 1t simply means an appli-
cation of the principle on the install
ment plan. And we are glad to see
this deathbed repentance of the man
who played his way to the Presidency
on one string, and that sting Protec-
ton He can no longer make lntelli-
gent people believe that we can build
a stone wall around this country and
live isolated from the remainder of the
world. Besides that, his patrons, the
trusts, need the foreign as well as the
domestic market. now, and Mckinley
must hedge
stal1ments, unless reciprocity is to de-
part from what the Republican party
has officially described it to be and
what has been wrought into treaties
during the last dozen years. The
Blaine, Mckinley and Dingley recip-
rocity as expressed in the acts of 1890
and 1897, Endorsed by Republican ma
tiona1 conventions and confirmed by
Republican senates, does not remove
duties from articles which Protec-
ton is needed. Inc duties gwen up
are those previously levied on non
competitive products and. not re-
CURED for revenue.
The term free trade as generally
used does not mean the absence of all
duties imports, but the absence of
protection Reciprocity is not hostile
to Protection, but is, the Iowa Re
pub1icans recently put it, 1.-The com
p1ement to Protection" In advocating
reciprocity, therefore, the President
was not publishing "deathbed repent
ance,' the Bee SO delicately puts it,
but was enforcing a method which was
incorporated in the law of 1890 which
bears his name.
The effort of the Bee was to de-
grade and besmirch the President by
making it appear that he had changed
his politics. and that he had done SO
because he could no longer deceive the
people with protection ideas Some
what similar is the strain piped forth
in many other Democratic anti-pro-
lection papers in respect to the speech,
though none other, SO far noted, is SO
vulgar in its misrepresentation 1t is
such lying and coarse Vituperation OF
men bearing the great burdens of the
state that nerve the arm of ignorance
to the point of assassination
The Globe-republican., 1901-10-31
WHY HE WORRIES NOW.

The position of Secretary of the
treasury is sinecure. Under Demo
cratic free trade the secretary isn't
able to sleep nights for thinking about
the deficit which in these circum-
stances is sure to grow bigger and big
ger as the months go by Under Re
publican protection the secretary has
his worries, too, for he has to worry
about the increasing surplus which the
protection policy always piles up in
the national treasury. That is what
is said to be troubling Secretary Gage
now There is a choice between the
two situations, though, and whenever
Secretary Gage feels more than ordi-
narily troubled about the surplus
which is accommodating he has only to
think of the days of Cleveland free
trade and the condition of the treasury
under the Wilson law, and it will make
him thankful for his mercies.

Clarissa. Mimi, Oct. 2sth.-Mrs.

wonderful story.
For years her life was one of mis-
cry. Her back ached all the time; her
head ached all the time; NEURALGIA
pains drove her to desperation She
used much medicine, but failed to get
any relief till she tried Dodd's Kidney
Pills. She says:
Very soon after I began usinS
Dodd's Kidney Pills all my aches and
pains vanished like the morning dew
I consider this remedy a God-send to

Encouraged by their success in her
own case, Mrs. Keys induced her

No man can disguise his voice In

person has some little popularity or
speech that, no matter how infinitesmal
it may be, is sure to be accentuated
and made more recognizable over the

in his voice will seem to speak more
sharply, gruff voice will be made
more gruff, and by the same rule an
insincere voice is given a greater tone
of insincerity--Philad Record
