that no changes will be made until
after the election next year: and ii is
expedient that care be taken to obviate
the danger of the public's getting hold
OF any Official Information that would

the circumstances are such that tariff

idea that 1t is necessary TO the re-

A part Of this game Is the cooking Of
reports from the bureau Of statistics in
the interest of the 'standpat" pro-
gramme. Ii the figures and the facts fail
to justify this programme. then the fig

NOT MUCH PROTECTION.

When the idustrial trust boom was
in full blast and corporations we're
being manufactured with millions OF
capital every day in the week, the pro-
tectionists cited the fact as the result
Of the great system of protection to
American industries Now the stocks
of these trusts are in a state of col
lapse and the water has been squeezed
out of them with remorseless energy.
what will the protectionists say? The
prostration of the boom in Wall street
cannot be blamed on the democrats:
neither Mr.. Bryan nor Mr.. Cleveland
can be held responsible. THE blight

no part or lot in the matter and vet

trust corporations--railr oad and in

is but the index finger pointing to the
prostration of general business that
will follow in its wake. The abnor-
mally high prices that now prevail of
all the necessities of life must result
in reduced consumption and even q
protected trust cannot pay big divi-
donds unless the public will pay high
prices for its productions.
Wall street generally discounts in
advance the falling of in demand for
products or the reduction in earnings

but indications OF worse that may hap

next year IL will be simply and solely
because a matority Of the voters sim

to fight their battle with the trusts So
odious have the hundreds Of protected

nous free trader yet he recently. under

prepared by the corporation attorneys.
and were intended 10 make the act un-

after four years Of lost time, fully de-

voice that killed the Littlefield antitrust
bill In the last congress and caused the
passage Of two sham antitrust bills, the
Elkins anti-rebate bill and the depart
