' A PLEA FOR FREE TRADE. ! Democrats Urged to Unjte for True Tariff : Reform. : ’ - Franklin MacVeagh, of Illinois, demt ocratic candidate for United States senator, came out for radical free trade in an address to the democratie , Joint caucus at Springfield on the even- - ing of Tuesday, January 8. He said the | time had come for the party to lay , down the slogan of tariff reform and | take up that of free trade. The recent . defeat of the party he called a cloud- | | burst, the effect of which, he. said, . , Would soon pass away. The democa’ racy needed, he said, to be bétter or- | ganized and its leaders ought to work ' | together instead of in opposition. | | There was no room in the ranks of the | party for anyone who favored the prin-“! , ciples of protection. The currency, he | said, was secondary to the tariff, but it , was important for the democrats to, , agree on some satisfactory system. He , - suggested that gold and silver be used - equally as the basis, that the credit of the nation be maintained at any cost ! and that the government withdraw | from the banking business.. Mr. Mac-'! Veagh’s speech is given in part as fol ' lows: ’ i

*“lt is said that in Rhe last election the deme ocrats were defeated.” This seems to me to be misleading. Something happened undoubtedly. But what it was is less clear. At this distance and with time to think over what pce curred, I am inclined to think it was a cloudburst. It certainly had the same unexpectedness as a cloudburst—the same sudden, over= whelming flood, the same pi led-up wreckage and, if you will permit me to say so, the same tinscientific inconsequence, and I, therefore, - germlt ‘myself to believe the same unlikteli= ood of récurrence. “Mogat assuredly, in my judgment, the great policy of the dermocratic party—the policy of tariff reform—was not defeated. Its defenders, it yon choose, were defeated—partly because they got themselves confused with its enemies. - The reform was not defeated. This may seem a nice distinction, but it is the real dis= tinction of the situation. - . “Even now some of the wiser leaders among ithe republicans are eager to find a way to pre‘serveas much of our legislation as they can ‘without seeming to abandon their theory that high cost living is a blessing to the masses of the ‘people, or_their theory that a nation can sellits: surplus for something except the surp}us of pther nations, or theirtheory that the greatness of a nation consists in its provincialism, and that the nations.of this rather small earth are at their best when they reJect all intercourse with each other, or their. theoryithat China isthe type of civilized life. But these leaders, if the republican party remain in power, will not prevail. They have tried before to moderate the greed of protece tion and have always failed. They will fail again. And though the people have not meaift to vote for-high protection now, any more than } they did in 1888, they’ will, if the republicans remain in power, get high protection now as they got it in 1888. And it rests, thérefore, 1 still with us' to preserve this great reform. | You can get reform, my friends, only through i reformers. -9, : _

{ ‘“And the sooner we bring about the fullest | measure of this reform the better it will be . Tor the business of the nation, for there is no, | other road to commercial and manufacturing . peace. There never, believe me, will be a final { &ettlement of the tariff %\l:gstion in this coun-i . try while the spirit of erican institutions ' ana the independence, the enterprise and the ! splendid aggressiveness of the American ' character are largely defeated by the economio l narrowness, the class selfishness and the dis= creditable provincialism of the protective SyS= . tem. Eventually this wholly un-American SyS= tem must, by the mere logic of natural fitness, ' be wiped out. And there is, therefore, but one - way for the business of the nation to get final i conditions and that 1s to deflnitely abandon a ~ policy that cannot in the nature of things be anything but temporary. . “There isbut one condition that this nation ~ will finally accept as worthy of itsjantecedents, its pretensions, its duty to itself and to the world, and -that is the condition of the trade. It is the only cure of unrest, for it is the only conceivable issue to the great contention which, whatever we may wish, is to be, until it is settled, the controlling.%ispute of Amerioan politics. Other contentidns may come and other contentions may go, but this greatest of our present conditions, until free trade is the settled policy of the country, will go on forever. ‘“‘And to carry on this contention both parties are committed, and about it that battle of rational politics will be waged. The republican party is hopelessly committed to protection. There may be misgivings here and there in that party. An editor here or there, a candidate for the presidency or a candidate for the senatorship ‘may have doubts whether the McKint{:y bill should again be risked against the growing knowledge and the waking con- . science of the people, and here and there we may find a scared republican inclined to steal some of our thunder, but the republican party isa protectignist party, bent on maintaining 8 permanent protective system. And it has now, in the interesting progress of our reform, come to this—that it no longer matters what the degree of republican protection may be, for the inherent vice of the republican policy " lies not in the degree of protection, but in theprinciple of protection. ‘*‘And the democratic party is committed. It is a wise, conservative, patriotic and evenlongenduring party, and it can at all times be intrusted to deal patiently and considerately with all meritorious interests of right-dealing citizens. But while it has argued for patient degrees of tariff reform and so far has legis= lated on that line, it has never used an argument in furtherance of tariff reform that Wwas not drawn from the philosophy of free trade. And it would from the teginning tave been absurd to advocate the tariff reform if we had not from the same beginning believed in ulti.!nate free' trade. It now, in my opinion, is high time to drop the shibboleths of tariff reform and to raise the banner of free trade. We have advocated and we have achieved tariff reform. Tet us henceforth advocate and let us achieve free trade. e S “America, my friends, hgs in this great mat . ter a mission. She has eStablished domestic institutigns founded on freedom and democe | racy. and she must establish international relations founded on freedom and ‘démocracy. Slhie has taught the world that she can thrive within her own vast domain and produce high nationality upon principles of free trade and she must now show the world that the highest intercourse of intermational life is based upon the absolute freedom of trade. It is not a mere question of profit. It is nos the mere opportunity to ‘be the grealest commercial nation the world has ever'seén and to gather for ourselves tribute from all the nations. The result of free trade will undoubtedly be the com-' mercial domination of our country, for, as I said in the late’'campaign, whenever the pro- ° tectionist ‘barriers of t.lalg» nation are torn.| down, it is not the United States which will ‘

‘_ need protection against England, Germany - and KFrance, but it will be England, Germany and France that will reed protection against us. ) ‘‘But’ this is not all. We have, I repeat, a ~ migsion. We have a duty.. We are bound-to - put our great nation where she belongs—in the forefrontof the wo’rld,whe‘t shecan both teach .and learn, and where she will have her rightful companionship with the nations. We ure ~ bound to let her show the world what she is so able to show it—that the real meaning of unre“'strioted commerce has never been revealed since those first'days of Phoenicia and Greece, and that there is hidden ig it possibilities undreamed of beneath for all mankind. American genius, American ?imrprise, American invention. American demi cracy are to be such vast forces in civilization that it is sinful ana shameful to deny them to mankind. And what - of the unmeasured treasure houses of raw material, and what of the lnlimited fertilities “which nature has put intolour keeping as truse tees for.the whale world. az‘«'ith all these treasures and with .all this mational genius we.can flood the world with beneéfits that will raise our commerce to the practicel heights of philanthropy and our natiop;»tg: all the glofles of prominence. Free trade is fiot sordi Itis o broad dphuqsqphy. And he must be a dull man, indeed; who- cnnnqt;,becox{g,,ph;'qled with its splendid IMERNINES. ¢« . A e T “I therefore believe thit our Ereat dparl? having long taught and finally lely slated tariff reform, should now show, what I know it has, the courage of its essential underlying conviotions and say frankly that it stands for free trade. : j : : “But whatever degree iof this nemx'-m;wz :%ll conclude to stand fot, one thing we must. .b.iree 13;!:9010@15 essential to our success o 8 it 1s to our party dignily and self-respect and as it is necessary .‘ : hofimfif the ree speot of the. nation, That essential thing is .tgfs: That while we gladly admit within our party lines all who m&v i‘ whatever degree g{tfirifl reform and who will _luyafl{:smvmrfi 6 pil smfl!g‘o‘%}i‘m @ must refuse to ace cept y responsibility f¢r men who are pros tectlonists whether they cbll themselves demfib r u She Jeople. e e e o son R R el i e it e D

~ A PECULIAR CASE. | : : Hdd 8 » : Physiclans Puzzled by the Experi- . ence of Mrs. Bowen: . | ¢ J ——— The Episcopal Hospital Said She Had | o Consumption. > { S e——— : | (ZFrom the Record, Philadelphia, Pa.) : ~_Last July the Episcopal hospital admitted & woman whose pale and emaciated face and racking cough proclaimed her the vie. tim of consumption. She gave her name as Mrs. Sallie G. Bowen, wife of Wm. G.’ Bowen, residence, 184 y Meighan St., Phila~ delphia. The case was diagnosed and she' was told plainly that she was in an ad< vanced stage of consumption. The examin-s Ing physician even showed her the sunken' rléce in her breast where the cavity in her, u‘nLg was supposed to exist. She went hgme{ to her family a broken, disheartened woman with death staring her in theface. That was the beginning of the story, the end was told_i' by Mrs. Bowen, who no longer expects to die, to-a reporter who visited her home. | “'The first symptoms of consumptioncame in the form of terrible sweats, both night and day. From April until September I was constantly cold and kept wrapped up in‘blankets through the hottest weather. A terrible cough took possession -of me, my breast was sore to the slightest touch, and my limbs were like cold clay. The hardest’ rubbing with the coarsest towel would not create the.: slightest flush, and the least exertion would so exhaust me that I could

It was after considerable ’ th%:lght and investigation that I concluded f to-discontinue all the medicine I was taking, including cod liver oil, and depend entirely upon Pink Pills.

A manufacturer of some patent. compound came one day into the laboratory of an analytical chemsist with a bottle containing a dark, oily mixture. “I would give twentyfive dollars,” he said, “to know what would make the oil and water in this emulsion separate.” The /chemist logked at it. ‘‘Very well,” he said. *“Just write your check.” “Check?” the other echoed. ‘‘Yes, your check for twenty-five dollars. You say you are’ willing to give that and I am willing to tell you what will make the oil and water separate.” The visitor promptly wrote his check for the sum named, the chemist carefully ‘deposited it in his pocketbook, and then quietly dropped into the liquid a pinch of common salt.
