More Money Booms Industry

A new currency system that would
leave the door open to either silver or
paper initiation might prove a sever set
back for the tariff reform era upon
which the country has just entered.
The consequent depression in business
would be blamed upon tariff reform,
and an attempt made to return to the
evil policy of high tariff protection
Wilmington Every Evening.
The knowledge of the editor of the
Every Evening OF the science of
money ard industry seems to be- con-
trary to all writer's OH the science of
money and also contrary TO history.
An increase in the volume of money
has never depressed business, but on
the contrary thru all history when the
volume of metallic money or paper
money increased business increased in
volume and the peOple/mureased in
property, wealth and the arts of clvili-
cation. When the volume of money
decreased hard times and civilization
decreased.
During the greenback limitation dur
ing the War between the States i'll
dustry doomed. After the War the
fnanciers got Congress TO burn up the
greenbacks and turn them into interest
bearing bonds. Because of such con-
traction of the volume of money the
panic of 1873 occurred.
Many attribute the panic of 1884
to the Tariff legislation, which took
place after the Sherman silver purchas-
ing act was repealed, whereby tile
volume Of metallic money also paper
money was decreased. The contraction
OF the money made hard times and not
the lower tariff.
The lowest tariff law in 70 years has
just gone into effect. Many have been
looking for a panic ard depression in
business since Woodrow Wilson's cleo
GIon. 1ne new talIf law is now in
effect and i'll another column are ac-
counts OF how industry is under the
low est tariff in 70 years. The condition
OF business is now due to the steady
and Increasing volume of gold metallic
money which has free coinage at the
mints. The free coinage of silver if it
had been allowed between 1873 and
1897 would have had the same effect as
the increased supply of gold under free
coinage since 1897.
PanicS and hard times came under a
high tariff in 1873 and 1898. There is
nc prospect of a panic and hard times
now under the lowest tariff in 70 years.
These facts are worth remembering.

The laws passed at th3s last session
of the Legislature, the last having been
approved by acting Governor Fielder
May 29th, have just been issued to the
public. Many Of these went into effect
months ago and the people are supposed
to know them as rules for their personal
conduct or ways of doing business.
1t is an imposition on the intelligence

Effect of the New Tariff
Record, Oct. 18th.

Philadelphia Record, Oct. 18th.
There has been no more curious
phenomenon il American politics for
many years than the perfect equanimity
with which all classes OF people-manu-
facturers, merchants, farmers, profess
rional men. artisans and others-have
received the new tatiff law, 1t has
has now been in effect ten days, having
been signed by President Wilson OH
October 3, but it is acquiesced III by
everybody as the most perfectly natural
and proper thing i'll the world. When
it is remembered that the Republican
system of high protection had been in
effect for half a century. and that the
new law establishes the lowest average
of duties that has prevailed for rs
years, the calmneSs with which this
revolution in policy is accepted, even
by the most fanatical members of the
G. o. p, is as surprising as it is graft
flying. 1t shows how little real hold
the old robber tariff had Oh The people,
and how universal is the belief that the
new law will prove beneficial 10 the
vast majority of those most affected.
II has always been the contention Of
''The Recold'' that the alert and enter
prising American manufacturer had
nothing to fear from foreign competi-
ton under a fair tariff. 1t is pleasant to
receive confirmation of this view from
oar standpat contemporary. The
Ledger, whose news columns reflect the
prevailing sentiment of the business
world. The following dispatch, which
appeared in its issue of yesterday, is
especially interesting because the CHEEKY
optimism it reveals is true not only of
Boston, but also of Philadelphia, New
York, Chicago and other great centres
of trade. The dispatch follows:
BOSTON, Oct. 12.-Inquily among
leading manufacturers i'll the Industries
of national scope that have their centre
in Boston as to the actual results of
one weeks operations of the new tariff
law had the somewhat inspected re-
suit of indicating a condition of I'M
disturbed sert nifty as to the present
and immediate future.
No evidences could be found of any
rush of foreign competition, and, ex.
cept in one instance in the cotton trade,
nobody lad heard of any actual or
prospective closing of the mills OF lay
ing of of working forces. In that i'll
stance it was not clear that the tariff
was to blame. A reduction in prices
had been made in the cotton trade some
weeks ago in anticipation of the enact
ment of the new law, but there were
no signs of any furry, and the manu-
facturers interviewed seemed entirely
cheerful, although business was some
what slack, as it has been for the last
two years. From some of the mills,
however, came reports of increased
activity and output, without reference
to the tariff.
Senator Penrose, where's are your soup
houses? Congressman Moore, where
where are your closed mills?
