HOW PROTECTION IS FOSTERED Bj Men Who Have the Best Interests of the Country at Heart. BOTH ARE BUSY JDST AT PRESENT ITEOM A STAFF COBRZSPOVDEXT.I Xew York, March 30. Politicians do not always hare the courage equivalent to their convictions. There is one subject, however, upon which the party lines are pretty closely drawn and that subject is the tariff. So far as the tariff enters into national Issues the political campaign is now always on. There are two conspicuous schools in this city by meant of which the campaign of education is carried on without intermission. "With these schools there are no midsummer holidays. They may be a little more active and demonstrative along about election time, but there is no cessa tion of educational labor at any time. These schools represent respectively the two great political parties. One is-conducted under the auspices of the "Reform Club," in the interests of the Democratic party, the other by the "Protective Tariff League" for the Republican organization. They represent the operation of the crystallized sentiment of their respective political aggregations. The Reform Club is a powerful organiza tion, but, as indicated by its title, its object embraces a multiplicity of things. Its "immediate purpose," however, is "tarifl reform, by reduction or abrogation of so called protective taxes," while minor con siderations are the promotion ot "a non partisan civil service, sound currency, the business administration of cities, or the improvement of electoral methods." It will be seen that the word "reform" is rather comprehensive as connected with the Re form Club. To put it crudely the Reform Club "scatters." Yet, while not so known, it is practically a tariff reform club, and as such it wielded a vast influence in the last Presidental campaign. The club is a regu larly chartered society. The character of its membership may be correctly estimated by that of its chief officers, among whom are Mr. E. "Ellery Anderson, President, Cat present additionally distinguished as the Leader of the Democratic Kickers against the State political machine) and Messrs. Charles J. Fairchild, Carl Schurz, .Anson Phelps Stokes, Horace E. Deming, Oswald Ottendorfer, Everett P. Wheeler, Geonre Tucker Harrison, George Foster Peabody and Henry R. R. Stapler, Vice Presidents. The Treasurer is Mr. Louis Windmuller, and Secretary Mr. Henry DeForest Raldwin. The club has a long list ot official", standing committees and sub-committees and a mem bership which embraces nearly everv city in the Union. In the large Xew York Citv list is the name, "Grover Cleveland, 15 Rroad street" Senator David R. Hill is not a reformer. Resident members pav $2o initiation fee and $30 a year dues. Non residents merely pay S10 a vear. Any mem ber can become a life member by the pay ment of $500. This provision indicates that the Reform Club apureciate3 the magnitude or the work cut out by it and does not expect to conclude its labors, but to keep right on reforming. The Reform Clt.b has its regular head quarters at the corner of Fifth avenue and Twenty-seventh street, though the tariff section occupies a floor at 52 William street. A large force of women, typewrit ers, mailing clerks, etc, are constantly em ployed there sending out tariff literature Dud attending to the correspondence inci dental to the cause of education. Awoman is in charge of this educational scheme, jnst as women conduct the majority of educa tional schemes everywhere. The commit tee having the matter in charge, however, is a live one. Mr. 11 Cilery Anderson, its Chairman, tells me they have held over 100 mectir.es since January 1. The Reform Club is regarded as largely devoted to Mr. Cleveland's political interests, and this is doubtless true. Its leading members will head the bolters' convention at Svracuse and its general local membership is made up of the more liberal wing of the Democ racy represented by ex-Mayor Grace. It is quite well understood now that Grace is be hind the Syracuse movement and that the latter is not so much in the interests of Cleveland as it is interests of the local anti Tammany wing of the party. The scheme is to go to Chicago with a hundred thou sand signatures in favor of the Syracuse delegation ana gam recognition lrom the national organization. With such recogni tion they can come back here and get what they want from Boss Croker, or successfully organize against the Tammany crowd. This feature must, of course, be kept in the back ground, as the reformers depend upon the general Cleveland sympathy to accomplish their local purpose! The Reform Club, Cleveland and the Syracuse Convention sail pretty closely together. The bolters' headquarters are "on the same floor with and ju6t across the hall from the Tariff Reform Committee rooms at 52 William street, and the clerical force is interchangeable. There arc various kinks in this .New York ma chine, the knowledge of which may be use iuL. Tim Protectors or Prosperity. Now as to the Protective Tariff League. I found a whole floor at 135 West Thirty third street devoted to the business of the league. A large force of pretty typewriters, fctenographers, mailing clerks," etc., are steadily employed in disseminating protec tive literature. "The principles of this organization," said Secretary Wilbur F. Wakeiuan, "are covered by one sentence that we carry at the bend ot all ot our publications, namely, devoted to the 'Protection of American Labor and Industrv.' The Tariff League is a national organization, with headquarters and general officers in the citv of New York. We have a President, two Vice Presidents, General Secretary, Treasurer, Executive Hoard and Board of Managers, three com mittees in charge of the various lines of uork, namely, Finance. Literature, and Organization and Distribution. We also have j. Vice President and Secretarv of every State and Territory in "the Union, which completes the gen oral organization of the League. All ot the affairs of the League are under the complete control of the Board of Managers, Jour oluboin are elected everv vear; thus the entire board changes once in five years. This is composed of the following gentle men, which, I believe, is the best index to the character of this organization: Calvin Wells, Pennsyhania; James Phillips, Jr., Massachusetts; F. S. Witherbee, New sew York; J. LeGrand B. Georee H. Elv. Ohio: Cornelius N. Bliss, New York; Thomas Dolan, Pennsylvania; P. C. Chenev, New Hampshire; Levi L. Brown, Massachusetts; William L. Strong, New York; William Strange, New Jersey; Theodore Justice, Pennsylvania; Columbus Delano, Ohio; Charles S. Landers, Connecticut; E. A. Hartshorn, New York; A. D. Juilliard, New York; Theodore M. Ives, Connecticut; Joseph EThropp, Pennsylvania. "Our President, Cornelius N. Bliss, has been identified with the organization from its inception, and last year accepted the presidency. As you know, his name is a tower of strength throughout the Eastern country, and friends of protection are to be congratulated that he is willing to give so much of his time and the results of his large experience to the League. All Imprests Are Represented. " "Our membership extends to almost every State ill the Union, aud simplv embraces the following contributing conditions: Fully appreciating the great conflict now upon us, the Executive Committee calls for the fall amount of each subscription far 1892, viz., one hundred dollars. The annual demand thereafter, except in a crisis like the pres ent, will be comparatively small. "The membership of the leagne is com posed of members of almost every trade, profession and business. We have manu facturers, lawyers, doctors, farmers, and labor organizers who are full members. "We have connected with the league about 30 people, who give all their time to the work of the organization. Our offiee worfc is largely conducted by young women, we having 16 in the office. 1 have found the most satisfactory service In the employ ment of young women. "The distribution of our document! la done regular! v and not spasmodically. For instance, durfng the last month we circu lated S 714 744 nifps nf tariff literatnrp T ,- -,. , r, -. mean by that, a leaflet or two-page docu ment would count for two cares and a. 16- page document for 16 pages. This is the only way we can arrive at a standard, so that we can tell how much we are doing. Our average from this time throughout the campaign ought to reach 8,000,000 pages a month, and this vast amount of literature is sent directly to inquirers throughout the United States. You would be surprised at the wonderful clientage which we have built up throughout the country, and this is the best illustrated by our daily mails. We receive from 200 to 500 letters a day, and all of these have to be inspected by the Secretary or one of the assistant secretaries and answered. "I feel that we are doing the most sys tematic work that was ever known in in forming the people of the country of the benefits of the protective policy as embod ied in the McKmley tariff! We are alwavs glad to have friends from any portion of the country call and inspect the work, which belongs to every friend of protection in the United States. Of course, you know our efforts are largely political, out there is no personal or political ambition in the League's worfc. Work or the Tarifl league, "Our work includes the publication and distribution of all lines of protective tariff literature and you will notice that we are now printing 54 documents upon the tariff question, many of these bearing particularly on the benefits of the protective policy to agriculture. In fact this is one of the most important lines of work which we have been following for the last two years. As stated above, from the central headquarters here in New York, we reach all sections ot the country, particularly through our local official correspondents. Of these we have over two thousand throughout the country. These cor respondents are to the Tariff League what local Republican clubs are to the Repub lican League clubs throughout the United States, the difference being we have a rep resentative whom we hold personally re sponsible for our work in each locality, whereas the League clubs have local organi zations. There is not a county and scarcely a hamlet throughout the United State's where we have not some kind ot representa tive, and it is through our local friends throughout the country that we are able to cover the tariff question thoroughly. To illustrate: In one section the opposition will be talking about 'export discounts,' in another section 'advalorem duties,' in an other section 'the price of wool and wool ens,' and from all of these sections we ob tain requests for investigation and develop ment. Every inquiry is developed fully, not only for the individual, but for the ben efit of our publications and our agencies. Jn short, we conduct this business on busi ness principles."
