AN AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL POLICY.
Relief is at hand for the American
industry from the burden of monopo-
ly taxation by which it is now para-
lyzed. Free raw materials, cheapened
production, enlarged consumption,
with wider markets—this is the only
policy that can revive our manufact-
ures and give employment to our work-
ingmen. This is the policy the peo-
ple have demanded and that is not as-
sured to them.
The industrial situation of this coun-
try is well summed up by Mr. Wilson
in the course of his exposition of the
new tariff’ schedules. In every great
line of manufactures he truly says, we
can produce in from six to nine
months enough to supply our home
market for a year. We can only get
rid of the surplus by foreign trade, but
as long as we have heavy taxes on our
materials it is impossible to build up
that trade.
The alternative has been the forma-
tion of trusts to keep down the pro-
duction. Hence frequent suspensions,
with the cessation of wages, while
prices to the consumer are maintain-
ed. The present tariff is thus in the
interests of capital only and against
the interest of labor. To remove the
tax from raw materials Is to give “a
natural and healthy play to produc-
tion,” to emancipate the people from
monopoly, and secure remunerative
employment for our workingmen.
It is also in the interest of the man-
ufacturer. As Mr. Wilson says, ‘the
thin edge of American manufactures
has entered every country.” With re-
lief from taxes upon their materials,
there is no limit to the growth of our
foreign trade. The home producers of
raw material, whom no possible for-
eign competition can reach in the in-
terior, will find more than compensa-
tion in this growth for any loss of mar-
ket at the seaboard.
The new tariff policy is thus full of
hope for every branch of American in-
dustry. It isa policy of unimpeded
growth and expansion, in which all
can share, as against a policy of cod-
dling and contraction that benefits the
few st the expense of the many.
It is an American policy. It will
open to this great country, with its
infinite resources, the markets of the
world. It will start up our factories,
revive our commerce and carry Ameri-
ean products and American influence
everywhere. —Philadelphia Times.

ABOUT DEMOCRATIC HARMONY
Harmonizing the Democratic party
Just at this juncture is rather a huge
job. It is all split up in Washington,
and until there shall be some cohesive
Democratic power there, there is little
likelihood of Democratic cohesion and
harmony in Philadelphia, Pennsyl-
vania, or elsewhere.
Wm. Bingerley, of the Philadelphia
Record, is always waltzing around as
a missionary of peace and good will,
says the Times. He wants nothing for
himself; wouldn't take anything for
himself; but he does want to spread
the wings of peace over the jarring ele-
ments of Pennsylvania, and he has:
thrown himself into the breach with
all the enthusiasm of his nature to heal
the Democratic discord.
There are on the surface two Demo-
cratic elements in Pennsylvania. One
is run by the Democratic organization
and ninety-five per cent. of Democrat
fe voters sustain it, and the other is
run by Quay.
The Federal patronage is now one of
cratic harmony.

said that the want of Democratic

There is only one way to get
Democracy of Pennsylvania together
and that is for the honest, earnest
friends of tariff reform to unite in sup-
port of their faith. The issue is vastly
more momentous than the division of
party spoils, and whenever the party
shall be thus harmonized Singerley
can be assured of permanent peace in
the Democratic fold.

RECONCILED,
There is great joy in Germany over
the reconciliation of Bismark and the
Emperor William. In Berlin dis-
patch from Friedrichruhe, on the mor-
ning of the 25, was the signal for an
outburst of cheering when its contents
was made known in front of the dif-
ferent newspaper offices, the clubs aud
other public places, for it announced
that Prince Bismark, ex-chancellor of
the German empire, the man of blood
and iron, had started for Berlin at 930
o'clock, in order to cement the recon-
ciliation which has taken place be
tween the emperor and himself after
four long years of bitterness,
Prince Bismark when he left the
Castle of Friedrichsruhe was accompa-
nied by Princess Bismark, Count Her-
bert Bismark and Doctors SBchwenin-
ger and Chrysander. The
left the train shortly before
and did not accompany
to Berlin. The whole
of Friedrichsruhe turned out to cheer
the veteran statesman as he departed
for Berlin, and six young girls, dressed
entirely in white, presented the prince
with a handsome laurel in-
scribed : “A happy journey.”

DURING the recent depression which
caused distress all over the country,
to the credit of the farmer be it said,
there was no complaint from his side,
but he went farther, he contributed
from his scant garners to relieve the
needy. The farmer can always
lied upon to help in the hour of need.
Bat how is it on the other hand when
the farmer needs aid to lessen the bur-
dens of taxation? well, the responses
then are far from prompt and mag-
nanimous, and the farmer is put off
with little attention, yet the agricul-
tural interest is the largest and most
important of all—it is the back-bone of
the country ; the one great pursuit of
every nation upon which every other
pursuit depends for success. The Re-
porter pleads for a little more consid.
