1t is now about ten years since the

Responsible For Soup Houses.

Since the starved years of 1894,
'95 and '96, when Tariff reform
and soup houses were concomitants,
the remark that Free Trade was
the cause of soup houses has been
a favorite one with many news
papers and public men. The Louis
vile "Courier-J ournal' the other
day tried to wipe away altogether
the causal relationship posted for
them, asserting in substance that
the reasoning which joined them
causally was utterly fallacious,
being in the nature of propter hoe
reasoning. We discussed in this
column short time ago the rela-
tionship between Tariff revision
and soup houses. We repeat what
we held then, that the Wilson act
OF 1894 was not the cause of soup
houses, but one of the causes. 1t
might be termed the occasion or
the final cause. 1t would be
demagogic in the highest sense to
put the entire soup house burden
on the back of Free Trade.
The Democratic party during
1892 and 1898 did everything pcs
sible to help precipitate panic.
Gold exports were the order in
1892. The currency was becoming
dangerously inflated by the $780,
900, 900 annually put out under the
silver purchase act of 1890. The
Argentine crisis and the failure of
Barring Bros, the Londan bankers.
in the following year, brought
about collapse. British capital
was withdrawn from this country
to meet the demands occasioned bv
the Barring failure. After the great
wheat trade of 1891, which had
temporarily relieved the situation,
reaction set in. The bottom fell
out OF the speculative market, and
in sympathy with a fresh move
ment abroad to get rid of American
securities, holders of gold on this
side began to hoard the metal. 1t
would have been impossible to es-

salt your sidewalks. Snow is prefera-

temperature of which is fifteen degrees
