FUTILE EFFORT.

The effort of democrats to refute the
republican assertion that the democratic
tariff policy was responsible for throw
Ing Hundreds Of thousands of people
out of employment will be utterly futile.
Every intelligent man knows that such
is the fact and the history of the period
of Industrial depression and idleness
from 1893 to 1897 is accessible to all.
Competent authority has estimated that
during that time 100000 men were
out OF employment, while the a of
those employed were constantly forced
down, many working only part time at
tfat.
1t Is true that the democratic tariff
law was not enacted until 1894, but the
success of the democracy In 1892 threat
ened the overthrow of protection and
the industries Of the country becoming
alarmed Immediately curtailed opera
lions and continued to lessen produc-
ton until tho law was passed. How
great was the loss Of labor from this
depression, due mainly If not wholly to
the democratic assault on protection, it
is not possible to compute, but 1t was
enormous.
The democratic party is again attack
ing protection, but it will hardly be
able TO persuade intelligent workingmen
that II would be well to repeat the ex-
perlence of only a few years ago. which
many OF them must vividly remember.
The democratic tariff policy would do
immeHsuIable injury to American labor.
