Queer Kind of Wall,

Those who regard the Dingley tariff
as a Chinese wall will probably revise
their opinion when they learn that the
imports into the United States during
the twelve months ending Jan. 81,
1908, aggregated $975,2S3,637. The
Dingley tariff, like all well-drawn pro-
tective measures, tends to increase i'm
ports rather than diminish them, as,
by making the nation prosperous, it
enables the people to buy more from
foreigners. But while under the stimu.
lus of tariff like the Dingley act our
imports are increased, their nature is
greatly changed. Instead of importing
manufactured articles ready for con-
sumption in increasing quantities., we
increase our imports of raw materials
from abroad for the use of our indus
tries. Thus, in the calendar year 1902
the manufacturers materials imported
amounted to s453,000, 900, against $24S,-
600 900 in the calendar year 1895. We
also enlarge our takings of manufac-
tured articles ready for consumption,
but our increasing imports in this clas-
sification are made up of things which
we do not ourselves as yet produce as
well as the foreigner, but which we
are rapidly learning to turn out as
we'll as he does.-San Francisco
Chronicle.
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1903-06-26

merchants knew what was before
them. That grim specter, sure to ma
terialize in to the evil monster, free
trade, which had more than once dew.
astated our land and impoverished
our people, was bound to come. 1t
mattered not just how soon, or in just
what form; we must prepare for 1t as
best we could and take the conse-
quences-and we did.
1t was not as bad as Mr.. Cleveland
would have had it. Mad clean through
he would not sign his party's law. But
that Gorman-Wilson tariff did its work
most effectively, and completed the
panic and ruinous work begun in its
anticipation. Is there need to recall
those awful years? Is there need to
repeat the billions of dollars lost, the
suffering, the sickness, the sadness
that entered almost every home in the
land?
We are loyal and patriotic enough to
add our plaudits to those of the multi
tude when cheering an ex-president of
the United States. We are willing to
blur our memory, to wipe off the slate
and say, well, in the light of later
events perhaps it was all for the best.
We need adversely once in while;
we must learn by experience" And
so we find no fault in the hearty greet
ing and acclaim given to our rapidly
ageing ex-president; but when the
mugwump and free-trader and politi-
clan step in and turn patriotism into
politics we say No; never again must
Grover Cleveland be in power and
gain the opportunity to conspire and
ruin our country. Once Is enough,
and though we may condone we must
not forget. Far more than the civil
war did Grover Cleveland cost our
country in financial loss. More lives
were sacrificed through sickness and
sorrow, through despair and poverty,
through hunger and cold, than by the
bullets of the rebellion.
If free traders, If mugwumps, If
Democrats do not forget, then the peo-

| into two of it's sentences as indicating
the tenor of the whole. These two
| sentences follow:
But our present tariff laws, the
vicious, inequitable and illogical
source of unnecessary taxation, ought
to be at once revised and amended
These laws, as their primary and plain
effect, raise the price to consumers of
all articles imported and subject to
duty by precisely the sum paid for
such duties. So 1t happens
that while comparatively few use
the imported articles, millions of our
people, who never use and never saw
any of the foreign products, purchase
and use things of the same kind made
in this country, and pay, therefore,
nearly or quite the enhanced price
which the duty adds to the imported
articles"
These are false statements, and Mr..
Cleveland knew them to be false, for
he could have gone into the open mar
ket and bought hundreds of articles
at less price than the duty on SINH
lar imported articles of no better quail
ity His message defeated him for re-
election, and a Republican Congress
and President thought best to revise
the tariff, and the Mckinley law was
the result The effects of that law
were marvellous. In May, 1892, Ed
ward Atkinson, the noted statistician
and free trader, who was in full pos
session of his mental faculties at that
time, said in the Forum:
There never has been period in
the history of this or any other coun.
try when the general rate of wages
was as high as it is now, or the prices
of goods relatively to the wages as
low as they are to-day, nor a period
when the workman, in the strict sense
of the word, has so fully secured to his
own use and enjoyment such a stead
lily and progressively increasing pro-
portion of a constantly increasing prod
uct"
Such testimony was repeated by the
commercial agencies. by the President
in his message to Congress and by the
whole honest press of the country.
And yet Grover Cleveland was again
nominated. and, adopting the double
dealing tactics of Polk and Dallas in
1874. was elected by a very positive
popular and electoral vote. We have
not to do now with the methods of
that campaign, but with the result
For the first time since the election
of Abraham Lincoln in 1860 the three
branches of the government we're to
be in the hands of the Democratic, free
trade party. The very moment that
the people. and particularly the com
mercial world. realized this there was
