TBADEANDINIHISTBY DESTRUCTIVE influence of ••PROTECTION" AGITATION. Khllcißiiua Counterclaims by Republican Leaders Itnvc the Coneumrrs 3iu Voice In Tariff Diacuaslon*—Hid* iuu lie ill nd Lincoln's Fume. Iluaincwa Mcu and the Tariff. The bualneu Interests of the country, which during the pnat year have been | rapidly recovering from the panic and bankruptcy which preceded the re|H*al of the .McKinley law, are again threatened with it period of stagnation due ' to uncertainty In regard to future tariff* legislation. When the Wilson law was before Congrcsx the Republican press protested against any attempt, to reduce the enormous taxes of the tariff of ISIM>, on the ground that tariff discussion tended to unsettle business and to prevent manufacturers from carrying on their enterprises. When it was a question of a moderate reI duction in customs duties the hlgh tarIff advocates Insisted that agitation over rates and schedules brought trade and Industry to a standstill, and for that reason the McKinley law should Is l "let alone." But just as soon as the Wilson bill Iwcanie law the Repubblicati chorus changed its tune. Instead of allowIng the Industries of the rountry to siwure a much-needed rest from the disturbing influences of tariff changes, the protectionists at once began u general clamor for a restoration of the law ; Which the people had ordered repealed. Forgetting their declaration that the business interests needed to la* let alone,they denounced the present 41 per cent, tariff as a "free trade” measure and blamed it for all the evils which iiad been caused by their own policy. By every ajss-les of false representation, appeals to sectional prejudice and short-sightisl selfishness, they tried to stir up opposition to the new law. and succeeded in 1804 in electing a Republican House of Representatives. Ever since that time they have declared that as soon as they bad the power the mistake of 1800 would lie repeated, and the trade-restricting McKinley law again placed on the statute ' books. That the Dingley bill did not raise till' duties quite ns hi»h as the tariff of 1800 was owing to the desire of the Republicans tn Congress to pass a law which they conld claim to be a purely revenue measure. It was known that even though passed by the Senate It would be promptly vetoed by President Cleveland. Already the organs of the protected trusts and monopolies are boldly announcing that the Sole issue of the coming Presidential campaign will be the restoration of the McKinley tariff or the imposition of even higher duties. This means that the country la again to be plunged into an agitation for > high prices and increased taxation, and ' that the whole question is to l>e fought I over again in the press, on the stump and in Congress. The commercial, manufacturing and transportation Interests which suffered so much from the law of 1890 and the panic which it caused in 1893, should need no argument to convince them that under these conditions the unsettlement of business will be as great until some time in 1898, when a new tariff can be framed and passed, as it was two years ■ ago. The Wilson tariff should have a fair trial, and judging from the improve-, ment In business during the past year, . If left undisturbed, It would In a few ! years give us so great prosperity that | there would be no excuse for chang-1 Ing it in the direction of higher duties. It is for conservative business mon to say whether they want a period of quiet, with opportunities to carryon their business unmolested by tariff meddlers, or one of doubt, hesitation and uncertainty. If the former, they should at once declare tlieir preference for the Democratic policy, and condemn the Republican threat to bring back the evils of McKlnleylsm. Let the Consumers Be Heard. Because a few hundred members of tile National Manufacturers' Association have endorsed the McKinley tariff, the Republican press Is boasting that the business interests of the country have declared for protection. On the assumption that the interests of the manufacturers should be the first consideration in framing tariff laws these organs of monopoly claim that the mm who want to get higher prices for their products have decided the question for all the people. Os course it is very kind of these superior persons to save their inferiors the trouble of studying the tariff for themselves, yet there are probably not a few wicked free traders who will insist that the Issue between protection and tariff reform has by no means been permanently settled, even by the wise men who recently met at Chicago. One reason for tills doubt on the part of the common people is their belief that while It may be a good thing for the manufacturers to get high prices, it is by no means so beneficial to those who buy things. The latter reason that if goods are made to cost more in order that a few men may get rich, somebody must lose what the manufacturers gain. And the fact that the men Who have tilings to sell want high prices Is of itself sufficient reason why consumers should look witli suspicion on a tariff scheme which promises to make things dearer. If the milkmen in a town or city were to declare themselves In favor of higher prices for milk, nobody would be surprised. But it would bo very surprising If till the consumers of milk agreed that the milkmen's wishes must be deferred to. So with the demand of the manufacturers that they l>e allowed to dictate the tariff policy of the Country.

The sixty flvo millions of consumers should have something to say, and In spite of the alleged bualneM totereata should vote down the party which advocates higher prices. Protection Run Med. The Chicago McKinley high protectionist organ Insists, truthfully, that Abraham Lincoln was a protectionist It speeiiics that In- was an old-time Whig, a Henry Clay Whig, and therefore necessarily a protectionist. But there Is protection and protection. That which Henry Clay and the | Whigs asked was discrimination by the I'nlteil States In favor of American Industrl<*n on the plea that they were Infant industries and needed government* al support. They protested continually that Just ns soon as the infant was able to move upon his own legs that moment they were willing that all governmental Interference in behalf of American industry should be withdrawn. In the measures they support--1 ed they never dreamed of going to the lengths to which McKinley has gone. When the war tariff was levied It was necessary for Morrill to explain that it was meant only for an obvious exigency and that ns soon as peace was restored ft would be the duty of congress to reduce the tariff. But McKinley has gone beyond anything anyltody | ever dreamed of in the way of making manufacturers sfs-elnl objects of Congressional Interest and regard. Never In this world did Henry Clay dream of taking, for instance, such an article as the outer garment, the dolman, cloak, mantle, or what you will, for women ami children and placing thereon a duty of <D ]>er cent, plus a duty of four and one-half times tho duty |ht pound on wool of the first class. Abraham Lincoln was a protectionist and in defense of that atrwity he was not above using specious ad captandum arguments, false In intent and false in fact. He hold forth to a supposedly intelligent audience the ridiculous assertion that a tariff tax is levied only upon the rich and that no American who does not choose to import a foreign fabric need pay a penny of tariff tax. He also held out the statement, which has not! been repeated since Logan's day, that it is the foreigner who pays the tax. The marvel is that Logan, Is-lieving ■ that to l>e true, did not so maneuver American legislation as to impose all the tax for the support of the United States upon the foreign manufacturer. It is true that Abraham Lincoln was a protectionist, as all Whigs were, but it is also true that the protectionists of to - day — McKinley, manufacturers’ I agent, at their head—would make the hair stand on the head of an old Henry Clay Whig, appalled at the extreme to . which protection has been carried. A Great Lohh. Through the stupidity of the owners of the steamship St Paul nnd the combined efforts of two wrecking compa- | nles the country has suffered a loss of i at least $2,000,000. When the St Paul ! went ashore in a thick fog. and it was 1 thought possible that she might liecomo a total wreck, the hearts of all good protectionists rejoiced. Here was the direct dispensation of Providence, which sent the fog so that the steamer might be lost and pounded to pieces on the Jersey sands. Then the steamship company would iiave to build another vessel, which would give employment to a great many iron-workers, ship- • builders, etc. This, according to Mc< ' Kinleyite doctrines, would be a bless- | ing to the country, and would do on a small scale what a protection tariff does ’ to a large extent—make “more work." But the expected gales did not blow, and after ten days pulling and hauling ’ the St. Paul was floated and taken to ■ New York. There it was found that she had practically sustained no injury, and that a few weeks in the dry dock would put her in condition for her regular trips across the Atlantic. Even the Republican papers professed to be pleased that the fast and handsome vessel had escaped destruction. Yet if she had been a total wreck It would have made "more work” for idle men. Why, then, was It a good thing that she escaped? If high tariffs are beneficial because they make more work by making it harder to get useful things, why would it not be fortunate if the St. Paul had been destroyed? It would be hard for McKlnleyites to explain how the wrecking companies which hauled the steamer out of the sand did not take bread out of the mouths of idle ship-builders. If the Republicans in Congress are wise they will at once pass a law forbidding meddling tug owners to go to the relief of Stranded vessels. This will soon make lots of work. A Phenomenon in Trude. A very curious and interesting phenomenon is the movement among tea merchants for a duty on tea. They seem to be of one mind in this behalf, and they have sent strong representations to Washington concerning it. Curiously enough, they demand the imposition of the duty for the protection of the people against the inferior quality of their own goods. They say that good tea is never sent to a country which has no tea duty; that if a spnclflc duty-so much on each pound without regard to quality—were imposed, we should import bettor teas, to tho great benefit of the people, nnd at the same time make a welcome addition to the revenues. Thqlr own advantage is to come, they say, from the increased consumption of tea which would result from an improvement In its quality. Scarcely anything In the history of tariff agitation is more curious than this demand of the tea men.—New York World.
