Protection and Silver.
Relation of Exchange Rates TO High
Duties on Imports.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: The pros
pective premium on your gold dollar
knocks the two top rails off any tariff
fence because the higher you build your
tariff the lower your exchange must fail.
A great advance in your tariff rates
might result in so checking imports
that you would lose tariff revenue, and
at the same time with sterling exchange
at 2l5 badly cripple your exports.
Clearly there is no way out In that
direction, and you will have fatally dis
credited the splendid system OF Amer
lean protection. AT best in a gamble so
desperate you could not hope to gain
more protection through your higher
tariff than what you would lose by the
lower exchange rates that tariff would
involve.
Tariff protection is at best a Pencil
opes web when you are dealing with
such exchanges as those of France or
Italy to-day, or l might even say Eng
lands. Aldrich himself could frame no
tariff If our Lancashire exporter OF
woollens selling his fabrics in New
York for $3.50 finds that $3.50 gives him
a pound sterling.
Read The tariff speech that Senator
Jones of Nevada made when he inquired,
"Shall the nation do it's own work %
and YOU will Inevitably reply, Never,
with exchange at SO for the pound ster-
ling in place of S4.S7"
Next, IL you require to know in de-
tail the reason why, read the great
speech Jones made on the repeal of the
Sherman silver act. And it was in view
Of this very hereafter of to-day with
all it's fracture of foreign exchanges,
that wise old Senator regarded the tariff
and silver not as two issues but one.
On that platform you can splendidly
unite and strengthen the Republican
party. Tom Reed of Maine was pro-
tectionist of exactly Jones's calibre.
"Now," said the big fellow from Maine,
"can the white man with the yellow
money compete with the yellow man with
the white money" This was at a time
when the metal of exchange with which
a thousand millions of Asiatics bought
gold bills and then bought your goods
had fallen so per cent.
To conclude, until you get once more
upon firm exchange ground, a tariff,
however cunningly devised, is a rope of
sand. And If you put your tariff ahead
instead Of behind exchange you will not
only fail, but fail so signally that it will
dishonor the whole system of American
protection. discredit the wise counsels
of Hamilton and Washington. and lead
to an anarchy in economic philosophy to
which I see no end.

A resolution introduced in the Sen
ate at Albany calls on Congress to
make November IL a national COM
bination holiday. That is, it would
amalgamate Thanksgiving Day and
Armistice Day by making the older
feast an immovable one and setting
1t back to the date on which firing
ceased in the great war.
If Armistice Day must have official
recognition and become a day of rest,
let us by all means couple it with
Thanksgiving. There are holidays
enough as things stand. If we should
90 on making new opportunities for
soldering, we should eventually be in
the class of those countries where
there are so many holidays that it is
easier to remember what the working
days are.
In this State we have ten legal
holidays. With Sundays, half of
Saturdays and an average of twelve
days vacation, the tired business man
pnd the weary worker find themselves
suspending ADAMS sentence an even
100 days year. Let us keep the re-
naming 265 days for the ancient and
honorable practice Of work.
SO, we say, If there must be another
holiday in November let it be
crowded into a day with one now
existing But we doubt that there is
any great public demand for a loaf
Ing celebration of Armistice Day. In
New York that great occasion had
one magnificent celebration-severa

Railroad Traffic and Wages.


Railway labor and railway capital
are alike in a pickle. The cost of do
ing business is too high to make any
thing for many of the roads. At the
same time the heavy traffic rates in
the industrial department discourage
freight shipments and passenger
/ travel.
! 1t would not do much good TO put
the rates up again; this would still
further check traffic and cause more
unemployment. Cutting the working
forces as the traffic falls does not
cheaper the cost Of doing the busi-
ness; it merely gets men off the pay
roll when there is no work for them
to do and no income with which to
pay them.
If thousand men moving a hun
dred thousand tons of freight, say
are reduced to eight hundred men
because the freight has gone down to
eight hundred thousand tons, obvi-
ously the situation is not improved.
AS a matter of fact it is worse be-
cause overhead charges have not sim
ilarly come down as the business has
fallen.
On the other hand, if every man
on the payroll could handle more bus
iness than before, provided there was
the business to handle, 1t is clear
that the roads would be better off, be-
cause their receipts would be i1-'ing
without a corresponding rise IL ex-
penses. The men would be better off
because both their employment and
their wage scale would be assured.
But the trouble in the present sltu-
alton is that the business isn't there
to handle on that basis. The men
preserve their wage scales, but hun
dreds Of thousands Of them don't pre-
serve their jobs. And wage scale Is
cold pickings if it is not served along
with a job.
In this ugly predicament, with the
roads losing their business and the
men losing their jobs, the railway
managers want to save five days a
week employment for as many Of
their employees as possible, rather
than have six-day wages for some and
none at all for the others. This looks
like good sentiment. They want to
get rid of all the unnecessary ex-
pense and waste of working terms
and conditions they can, so as to post
pone direct and positive cuts in the
wage scale ITSELF This looks like
good sense. They want then, If the
wage scale itself has to stand a cut
ting, to have il done in such manner
as will permit all or part of those
savings to go toward freight and
passenger rate reductions, and thus
stimulate traffic to increase the earn
ings Of the roads and the jobs of the
men. This looks like good business
good business for the carriers, their
employees and the public.
The railroad managers and their
men usually work out their common
problems on basis Of common under
standing and sympathy. Neither side
has TO tell the other the black mean
ing of empty seats in passenger trains
and miles Of idle freight cars on the
sidings and storage tracks. They all
know what it means. A national
transportation system must be either
great productive engine running
full speed and full capacity in all the
hours Of the day and night or an eco
nomic graveyard for railway earn
ings, wages and everything else. Dark
as the outlook is for the moment the
managers and the men can pierce 1t
with a streak of light from the lamp
Of common sense.
