"Our protectionists Aar been building defenses to keep you and other nations from competing with us in our home market The tariff reformers are breaking donn these defenses." William L. Wilson, author of the Wilson tariff bill, to the Loudon chamber of commerce. McKinley's Counter Attack. When the Ohio Democratic convert tion pronounced for free silver coinage ana bragged that it was a Democratio administration which repealed the Sherman silver-purchase clause. Gov ernor McKiuley saw a splendid chance to counter; and he has improved it by asking the Democrats what their ad V. ministration has done to restore silver to its old place as a money metal. Thus ne corners them and they dare not an -wer. - The Democracy is trying desperately to straddle this currency problem. Out In Nebraska Thursday the Democratic state convention split outright, one wing going for free and unlimited sil yer coinage, and the other declaring just as radically for a sold basis. " In such a situation, with the Democratio president firm in favor of gold mono metallism, Is it not absurd for the De mocracy of Ohio to try to pose as the mend of sliver? What can it do for silver? What hope can it offer to the , producers or the white metal? It is noteworthy, as a trend or the times, that Governor McKinley, in nearer touch than are we with west ern Bentiment, does not underestimate that sentiment's strength. He merely says tnat the Democracy is trying to deceive the west; and declares, what is clear to all fair observers, that "free and unlimited coinage of silver is not the crystallized will of the Democratio party, and it will not be. The party that has struck silver down and given it the severest blow it ever had cannot be relied upon to give that metal hon orable treatment." In the utter absence of any reason for such action, common council's threatened prohibitive tax on theatri cal performances looks very much like &4 invitation to be "seen." Common cduncil, it strikes us, has played this burlesque far enough. Sophistry's Day Ended. 'It must be kept In mind." writes T. F. Monahan, "that wage earners do not sell commodities: they sell labor In order to buy commodities. If the price of those commodities are in creased by protective tariffs, so-called, their wages are to that extent de creased. For instance, a workingman receives $2 a day. That is his wages in money. But money is only a me dium for making exchanges. He did not actually work for that money, but for what that money would exchange for food, clothing, etc. Now, if the thing for which he exchanges his f 2 were increased in price 50 per cent by the McKinley law, his actual wages were reduced by that measure. And that Is ut whatMcKinleyism has done for the American laborer." Indeed? Then how comes It that the senate commission, composed equally of Democrats and Republicans, found that under the McKinley law while wages were high and labor pretty steadily employed, the prices of com modities were the lowest in our history? It doesn't take much to refute Mr. Monahan's false premise and equally false conclusions. He is dealing with a preconceived theory, to accommodate wnicli he distorts the facts. The Amer lean wage-earner, more practical, turns to his cash book and his ledger and finds that whereas, under the McKln ley law, he got steady work at , fair wages thus earning a comfortable liv ing; since Democracy came into power those wages have fallen, that employ ment has slackened or stopped and it's a mlglry hard struggle in many in stances to get even so much as a crust of bread. It is no time now for theoretical free trade sophistries. Since they sufllced the people have reached the bed rock level of hard, cold experience, and are not to be fooled again in the same cruel way. One year aoo, Senator Voorhees, as clmirmau of the finance committee, was making the welkin ring with his denunciations of the free silver pirates of the west. Now, out on the Hoosier hustings, he is unleashing the scor pions of his wrath against the avari cious gold bugs and heartless Shylocks of the east. Senator Voorhees never tethers himself permanently to one side of a debatable issue. All Uesh is grass and all creation is his pasturage, Idyllic Innocence Abroad. There can be no particular objection to Professor Wilson feasting at the expense of the London chamber of commerce, notwithstanding the im policy of the event; but Americans have a fair right to object when the professor tries to settle his score by un settling scores of industries in tills country. When free lunches have to go baud in hand with free trade, it is time we should keep our itinerant Democratic statesmen on homo rations. Nothing else quite so idyllic; nothing quite so blissfully and unconsciously disingenuous aul idiotic lias been printed in several generations us is the published synopsis of Chairman Wil son's speech of Thursday evening. am quite sure," the generous chairman re quoted as Having said, "that our protective policy has already served to promote the trade of other nations and, if continued, it would still further promote such trade and pre-eminently your own. Our protectionists have been building defenses to keep you and other nations from competing with us n our home market. The tariiF re formers are breaking down the de fenses. Let us compete in all the markets of the world." This is the essence and the purport of ail his long and supremely child like address. It reveals the professor at his best as a philanthropist whoso charity begins everywhere except at home; and whose idea of governmental duty takes in every nation except the American nation. We are sorry for the professor's sake that he should be thus impractically given to interna tional good hearted ness; for, if he could only be persuaded to care for his own family, his own community and his own countrymen, we are certain he would make an excellent citizen. We are sorry, too, for poor Mr. Merriiield, whose protectionist bluffls thus made twice as difficult to execute. But when this is said, all is said. For the party and the policy that wan1 to give other nations the oysters while Americans keep only the shells, there can be but one emotion; and that emotion, contempt. Senator Hill naturally is persona non grata to the New York Evening Post. The latter's bolt, therefore, is not utterly unexpected. The mug wump indeed ' who could this year re main a Democrat would have ho further claim to mugwumpery and would become a very common type of cuckoo. Stop Obstructing the Streets. The streets of Scranton belong to the people of Scranton. It is to the ad vantage of the people of Scranton to have better street car tracks, better heating appliances, finer business blocks and all the other accessories of municipal progress. For that reason, ordinances exist giving to all who wish to obstruct the streets for advantageous public purposes, the privilege of doing so, subject to reasonable restrictions. But it was never contemplated that these obstructions should become gen eral and permanent There is a tendency just now to over do the upheaval of these streets. This tendency has become a nuisance. No doubt those responsible for it have not realized how greatly they annoy the public. But the decision . of Street Commissioner Klrst to inforce the law uniformly and consistently cannot be regarded as unfair to any particular offender; and it will be most heartily sustained by a long suffering but at last impatient public. It would have been better for Banker Iiockafellow bad he made no explanation of his losses, if the one which he has wrltteu is to be accepted as his best possible effort along that line. To say that he let $200,000 or more dribble through his fingers with out knowing when, where or how it went is to confess to a degree of incom petency even further removed from business principles than Mr. Rockafel low's system was supposed to be. One could sympathize with a banker who had lost after doing his best to win, but there is little patience for the man who loses confidential deposits because too easy going to take any kind of care of them. Dodging the Question. . The Wilkes-Barre News-Dealer tries to evade the point by such sorties as this: Eauol taxation la not class Wialatinn. When The Thidunk ayi it is. it is simply I ill kin j for that class of people in Lacka wanna conntv, whose incomes are any where from $20,000 to ISO, 000 a yesr. Vie believe This Tribunb knows of such peo ple, and If we are nut mistaken some t.l bem are stockholders in that nnppr. That being the case the esteemed editor is nanny to blnme for defending their in- e res is. . No one complains against "equal taxation." The income tax, however, is unequal taxation. It f-ets honestly acquired wealth up as a target for spe cial and unfair legislative spoliation, e will suppose, for sake of illustra tion, that the Income of the editor of the News Dealer is only $3,999 a year ot course, it really Is more than that Would he then claim it was right for him to "deadhead" his way through the tax-collector's office while his next door neighbor, whose income is a dollar greater, has under the new tariff law to step up to the captain's office and lay down eighty hard, round dollars? Nothing can be fairer than justice, It is just for all men to be taxed pro portionally. But it is not just for one class to levy legalized blackmail upon another class, simply because they have a little brief authority. Tho masked burglar with his pistol is in majority when ordering the frightened householder to stand and deliver. But burglary is not justice; and the class income tax is nothing more nor less than bold burglary with the penalties temporarily left off. r0LlTl(L JNOTES. .Keferriiig to the enthusiastic indorse ment by tiie Twentieth district senatorial convention of Lieutenant Governor Watres for the United States senate in 18SI7, the Philndelpbia Times says: "Mr. Watres represents the younger and more progres sive element of the Kepublican piirty in rruuBvivuuiit, nnu is a inorouguiy typical man vi mat ciass. no twice curried Luck awauua county lor souittor when it was regarded a much more Democratio than now, and was chosrn lieutenant governor four years ago by a large majority when Lieiamater, the head of the Itepubliiiiu tlckot, was defeated.
