Protection and Sound Money.
A number of weeks ago we alluded on
this page to a notable speech delivered
by Governor Lippltt, of Rhode Island,
before the Republican club of the city
of New York a speech In which he
pointed out with clearness the fact that
the manufactures of a nation are an
unfailing Index to Its civilization; and
drew the conclusion that an economlo
Policy which checks the manufacturing;
industry is not only disadvantageous
from a scientific standpoint but also, In
respect of its consequences upon pub
lic progress, essentially Immoral. In an
other page In this Issue we print that
speech in full, and recommend to- our
readers a careful perusal of it.
Shallow observation may at this mo
ment conclude that Protection has
ceased to be an Issue In American poli
ties; but such lessons as are contained
In Governor Llppitt's speech empha
size the truth that Protection will be an
Issue Just so long as it Is anywhere chal
lenged; and that not even the momen
tary enlargement of the monetary issue,
Which traces its cause directly to an
unsuccessful effort to Inaugurate free
trade, can Ions eclipse It In popular In
terest. Had there been no Jugglery with
Protection by the congress of 1S93 there
would have been no money question to
arise and perplex the nation. That false
economic step, as Major JIcKinley has
truthfully remarked, "increased the im
portation of foreign goods until our
money ran out; multiplied our foreign
obligations; produced a balance of trade
against the country; supplanted the
domestic producer and manufacturer;
impaired the farmer's home market
without Improving his market abroad;
undermined domestic; prosperity; de
creased tho industries of the nation;
diminished tho value of nearly all our
property and investments and robbed
labor of its Just rewards. It is not the
money system but the tariff system that
Is at fault. Until the tariff was deform
ed by Democratic experimentation the
former was admittedly tho best In the
world. Even to please uncomfortable
eastern Democrats we cannot shut our
eyes to this Incontrovertible fact. To
do so would be political stultification.
The Republican party will, of course,
stand in this campaign, os It has
alwaj's stood, for sound money. It does
not want to protect the worklngman
with one hand and rob hlro with the
other. It will, therefore, bh heretofore,
champion an honest dollar, worth at all
times in every place the full amount
stamped upon Ms face. But we' do not
propose to let this natural and obvious
championship obscure the party's sim
ultaneous duty Id the matter of Protec
tion. It Is not only necessary to keep
the dollar honest, but It Is also neces
sary, and Imperatively necessary, to
establish by law such economlo condi
tions as will tend to put that honest
dollar into honest circulation. No mat
ter how sound our money may be. It
will not conduce to our prosperity so
long as its principal mission is to pay
tho foreign manufacturer for goods that
ought to have been manufactured In
our own country; so long as the chief
avenuo of Its expenditure points away
from instead of toward home. Four
years ago our money was not only
sound, but it was also active. It paid
to American workingmen the highest
average wage they had ever received;
It kept our industries busy turning out
tho largest production they had ever
known; It moved the wheels of com
merce In all directions, caused tho
largest known consumption of the pro
ducts of our farms and. In short, I
brought to ?very legitimate interest In j
the United States a degree of prosper- j
Ity without previous parallel. This It j
did because It was backed by Fystem- j
atlc and uniform Protection. We r.eed j
to get back to those favorable condi
tions. We shall not be prosperous un
til we do.
"The money or tho United States,
nnd every kind or lorni of it, whether
of paper, silver or sold, must' be u
good ns !lie best in the world. It must
not only be current nt its full fare
value nt home, but it must bo counted
ut par in any nnd every commercial
renter of the globe. The dollar paid
to the farmer, the wage-pnrncr and
the pensioner must continue forever
equal in purchasing nnd debl-payin?
power to the dollar paid to nny roi--eminent
rrcditor."-McKinlcy in His
Speech of Acceptance.
Stand by the Tariff.
A very 'timely, sensible and effective
letter appears In the Wilkes-Dane
Record from William H. Miner upon
"The Tariff as an Issue." Mr. Miner be
lieves thoroughly in sound money, but
he believes even more firmly that It Is
the duty of the KepuMicun party to
stand up straight and stiff for the only
policy under which sound money can
be earned by labor and gained by busi
ness men; In other words, for Protec
tion. He says:
Who Is so energetic in making the
money question the supreme Issue in this
campaign?
The Democratic party.
Why?
liecause thnt party ofter a vain effort
to make their "tariff lor revenue only"
policy u ueeess huve not enough points in
their favor to go before the country on
thnt issue. Such a campaign would invite
a crushing defeat, and they do not dure
face It.
What could they do?
They hardly knew. The difficulties of
running a large government on tniull In
come naturally made the money question
a burning one. They do not understand
even its most rudimentary forms, but the
universal distress throughout the country
made It a possible catch cry, and to dis
tract the people from the real cuuse of
their woes was their only hope of success.
The Democratic party and not the dear
people, however, were to be the real gain
ers. Hinco tho battle cry of free silver.
The Chicago convention is history. It
rather overstepped the mark, to be sure;
whether Intentlunallyor otherwise remains
to be seen. Tiie Democratic dust bag, for
strong eyes. Is always full, however, and
it Is just as well to be cautious. A felni
at bolting would emphasize silver as un
Issue and subordinate the tariff. You will
notice there Is an almost Invisible thread
attached to their protestations for sound
money. It In cfTect means: "We will join
tho Republicans on a sound money plat
form. We will be brothers and fight to
gether, but no tariff. Not this year. Make
the issues us we want them and all will be
well."
The Democratic party has not, will not
change. It Is made up of malcontents,
and its principles are anything to win. It
may hold up its hands In horror at having
Inadvertently put Into words In Its plat
form what Its public acts have always fa
vored, but it will not fool the American
people. Its coddling to tho Republican
party for help to throw the cloak of ob
livion over its maladministration must
not work. Republican institutions have
suffered too much through the present
Democratic administration to allow its
policy to pass unnoticed.
The Democrats are too willing to let
the past be bygones, but if the Republi
cans do not run after their "will o" the
wls" they need hnve no fenr ns to Its
stand on tho money question. The Re
publican party has always been for
Protected money.
Protected workingmen,
protected Industries.
Protected America.
It Is all one and Indivisible, a policy
strong and Indestructible, embodied in the
single word PROTECTION.
Honest and conservative Democrats
who believe that free silver would bo
ruinous to the country are welcome to
vote for MeKlnloy; and, being of good
judgment pnd patriotic impulses, they
very probably will do so. Such Demo
crats ns a rule are business men rather
than professional politicians, and hence
want the country to be prosperous no
matter what party gets the credit. They
know full well that the country was
prosperous under Protection, and that
it has not been prosperous since the
present administration attempted to
overthrow Protection. Therefore these
Democrats will not feel ill toward lie
KInley because he advocates Protec
tion. They will not bo so egotistical as
to ask him to forget the principles of a
llfo-tlme simply out of deference to tho
fact that a limited number of Demo
crats, hern and there, would rather vote
for sound money than for free silver.
Rut sound money, in Itself, would be
of little account without Protection
back of it. Protection, therefore, is af
ter all the fundamental issue.
The new chief of the fire department
can hardly have been serious, if it Is
true ns reported that he has Issued
orders to tho Chemical company that
it must not answer still alarms until
notification has first been sent to him.
If Mr. Hlckcy will give bond always
to bo within call, such an order might
not work great hardship; but In view
of tho uncertainty connected with his
whereabouts at any given time such an
order would be apt to Involve a se
rious peril to property. It would scarce
ly be argued that a policeman should
not nab a burglar before sending word
to Chief Robllng.
If the twelve members of the board
of control who effected a reconsldera-
tion in the case of Professor McCIos
key and eVployed another gentleman
In his place as assistant Instructor in
mathematics for the new high school
after he had already been noticed of
his employment have valid reasons for
their course. It Is due the public that
it be fully Informed as to those rea
sons. We offer the columns of The
Tribune for an explanation. If there
are r.o such reasons, the public will b-
j forced to conclude that a contract with
tn- board of control nf the city of
Fcranton Is not to be regarded as blnd-
l2 In case a whim Influences that
body to annul it.
The Scranton Times apparently does
not lelish the reminder that free sil
ver coinage as advocated by liryan &
Cc. means 39-cer.t dollars: Hut it can
l ehow thnt it does not mean this.
No foreign nation would be under any
necessity of taking an Irredeemable
American dollar containing only 50
cents' worth of silver bullion nt more
than Its bullion value; and no natl.u
would take it nt more than that valua
tion. A oTollar worth only 50 cents I n
Kurope would soon be worth only a')
cents in the United States. The bur
dtn of such a depreciation would rest
most heavily on the working classes,
whose wages would not rise sufficiently
t-j counterbalance It, If. Indeed, they
should rise at all, which Is doubtful.
There was not a murmur four yearn
ago, outside a limited circle of silver
extremists, against our currency. It
wns sound, popular and abundant until
Protection wns repealed. Debasing It
value will not cure the diiv results of
the pa3t three years of attempted free
trade.
Mr. Bryan has himself publicly ad
mitted that In nil probability a. panto
would rtsult should free coinage be at
tempted. Do the voters uf this eiuntry
want nncther :nnio on top of trie one
which fallowed the Ih mutmtlc p.-.i ty's
other Utile experiment?
It Is not true tnat Republicans want
to slde-traek the money issue. All they
want is to let the public know why that
issue has been raised; In other words,
how the free traders are trying to cover
up their mischief.
Tho councllmen who defeated tho
Citizens' Street railway franchise no
doubt don't mind the new rule of the
Traction company charging for carry
ing packages. They doubtless all have
passes.
We agree with the Manufacturer that
"the duty of the Republican party Is to
stand fast for its principles; not to hunt
around for methods of making uncom
fortable Democrats comfortable."
Should the election of a president by
any chance be thrown Into the house,
It Is worthy of note that McKlnley
would get at least 24 of the 45 votes.
Ignatlus Donnelly declined to race
for the Pop nomination; but It was a
decision more of necessity than choice.
Wow let Mayor Bailey ratify the new
fusion by giving the local Populists a
chance at the municipal pie-counter.
ONE STEP Ft'RTIIEIl.
Editor of Tho Tribune.
Sir: I, for one Republican, am In favor
of the free and unlimited coinage of sli
ver, provided the remedy goes far enough;
but, heavens alive, the Democrats don't
carry It half far enough to suit me. Let
us have enough at once of coined Iron and
brass on the market along with silver to
supply the poor as well as the rich. Sure
ly their arguments are good for this as
well as for free silver. I appreciate the
kindness of the advocates of free silver
In rememberlnH us poor, scraping work
ingmen. It Is nothing but right that man
kind should have their burdens made
lighter and the road of llfo made easy
once In ai'hlle. Indeed, to make a start
In life with the solid gold and sliver we
have at present Is Impossible, because the
rich have swindled and raked It all up.
What a glorious thins It would bu for
the people at large, therefore, to have old
Iron nrd brass admitted to eolnngo at
1C to 1. We would get rich and very pros
perous at ten day's notice. The poor
worklngman could pay his store bill with
his old stovo or brass kettle; engineers,
firemen and all railrund hands cot'ld pi.y
tip their Insurance policies nnd building
fund by old frogs, rails and worn-out boil
er cocks; the breaker boys could run
around picking ut old rusty nails, horse
shoes and played-out clocks enough to
support their poor widowed mothers; yes,
even the young factory Kirls would thus
loon He nme to uuy a norse ann uuggy !
with.
You bet your boots I am in favor of frej
nnd unlimited coinage ef Iron and bras
nt a ratio of K to 1, for I can prove by j
Democracy's own arguments that such A !
glorious policy would mi"? prices, put j
plenty of money In circulation In every :
home, nnd nlve the poor, honest working- j
men a chance to pay the back bills he has j
been accumulating since i leveiami caiao

WHY SILVER HAS FALLEN.
In 1873 the world's output of sliver w.is.
In round numbers, iVl.fmO.OOH ounces. In
18S3 It was 83.0o0.0V0 ounces, while the out
put cf gold wns unchanged. Iy 1S1Q the
production cf silver had Increased to 10!,
OOO.CCO ounces. Tallin tihe output of t'.ie
two mrtf.ls, we find that In 1ST3 the ratio
of production of silver comiKired with gold
wns 13.11 to I, nnd ten years later was
n.tt to 1, while In 1MW It was 21. S3 to 1.
During these twenty years, the world's
coinage systems having previously bepn
ealuratnl wilih silver and its commerce
having outgrown the upe of the white
metal for large transactions, the demand
had greatly decreased. With nn Increase
In the supply that more than doubled In
twenty years and a coincident decrease In
demand. It Is not difficult to account for
the fall In the price. New York Herald.
WHY NOT t
Kdward Atk!nt-on, the well-known po
litical economist, writing on the sliver
question several years ago .Raid: "Tho
an nun I vulue of the silver product is about
HO.tXW.tmo in gold. The production of the
lien yards of the lTnlted Sutes, according
to tho census Moitietlcs, was. In ISflt, 4ui;,
(tl",!ilG dozen tgirs. and, If hen3 have In
creased In the ratio of pcpula.llon. It is
now 5uu,UU,oiW dozen, which, at only 10
cents a dozen, would exceed tho value of
Wie product of the silver mines.
"It would be vastly more reasonable for
congress to ordr the compulsory purchase
of f2,000,(rK) worth of egga per month, 'In

An announcement has appeared In soma
of our exchanges to the effect that the
widow of Fred Douglass hns taken the
lecture :Iatfonn. and that her theme is
entitled "Protection fr the Rich." One
of her strongest points It is said Is made
from a recital of the Flagler case. In which
the daughter of a rich governatent official
escaped punishment for tho deliberate!
murder of a littlo negro boy. Tills rase
and others that a;pcnr on tho surface al
most daily are enough sometimes to make.
one wonder If, after all, Justice is not
too frequently tempered by circumstances
ns wns undoubtedly the vure la the mur
der of the negro boy at Washington. There
is often a question in the in.nd3 of many
ns to whether the framers of laws that are
found In the Ptatutes of the common
wealth of Pennsylvania Intended that the
construction should be placet upon tlietn
that occasionally causes surprise when de
cisions of the higher courts nr.- render' 1.
It set ms Impossible thai tile laws of
tho land wire originally Intended for the
protection of the rich, yet there ure many
instances that would Justify assertions
made by lecturers of the stamp of Mrs.
Douglass. Olerelo, tho Old Forge mur
derer, had neither friends nor money. He
paid the penalty of his crime by death on
the gallows. W.is Merolo any more guilty
than the scores of other red-handed mur
derers of Lackawanna county who hnvi
escaped punishment? Suppose M-rolo hua
been supplied with money; what would
have lyen the result?
Snm years ago. It is alleged, a well
known cltlsen of Scraiiton Inverted an ap
pliance of great value to railroads. It was
an Invention that should have brought th-i
dlsrovirer of it fortunes. He was advised
by friends to (rive half of the profits of the
Invention to some ra'lrrad company in or
der to secure their aid In protecting the
!atrnt fcr him. He lau;'lii-i at the advice.
H:3 discovery wan the result of hard
labor and study. Why should he shaiv
the profits of his toll with a corporation?
Tae laws of this tree land would protect
n poor man In his riiiht. In vain he wan
informed that in the courts a poor man
would stand no s how beside the great ruil
rmds backed by resources cniple to x
pa'i: t hi meann In lawsuits. The Inven
tor ntttniptcd to reap single-handed the
fnill" rf b:.? !:! ors. Ami whet was the
result? After years nf weary battling in
the courts tor h'.i riulds, the Inventor was
at last obliged to reiiie almost penn'less.
nnd today the grat railroads of the coun
try are, It is said, using his Invention nnd
without payirg one penny of the royalties?
which should make the Inventor a wealthy
man. In It any wonder, then, thnt In this
ni;o there Is plenty of soil upon which th
seeds of discord nnd discontent flourish
wherever 'hey are senttered by persons of
mischievous propensities?
Of all members of society there are prob
ably none who ore less nrproolated than
the campaign orator, who is subject to the
contempt of the opposition nnd the Jokes
of the fenny writers who seem to regard
this earnest nnd hard-working politician
as a legitimate mark for warmed-over wit
of other years. Tho criticism showered
nt times upon stump speakers Is unjust.
The campaign orator Is the real educntor
of the masses. He Is the advance agent
of his party leaders who makes converts
by his wit and eloquence In localities
where the efforts of the most profound
writers for the press fall unheeded. Prop
erly equipped the campaign orator can ac
complish great good, and when the advo
cate of humbug can also do Incalculable
mischief. In any event the campaign ora.
tor Is nn Individual who If not admired
must generally be resuected.
Trobably the most cruel shot directed
at the campaign speaker of today was re
cently given by a farmer residing a few
miles routheast of Scranton. The gentle
man In question anpropehed Dr. Gcott,
pastor cf the Klmhurst Presbyterian
church, and extended an Invitation to the
doctor to sneak at n political meeting
which Is to be held In the near future at
a rinall school house In thnt vicinity. When
the clergyman attempted to decline the
petitioner snld: "You see, doctor, it's like
this. We don't understand the money
question thnt there Is so much talk about
end we would like to have some one make
It clear to us. Now, we believe what you
say, nnd would like to have you exulnln
the subject before the campaign orators
begin to come nnd get us all muddled up."
Dr. Scott, who is well equipped to present
both sides of the case, could not resist this
appeal, and will probably deliver a lecture
on the currency question as requested.
,C'Or'TINJ-TIIE COST. -
From the Philadelphia Times.
Tho wage earners of the country have
some Tr.iXl.oiH),lM) invested in building as
sociations. This amount also represents
the savings of the workingmen, and they
have saved it ami thus invested It to en
able them to become owners of their own
homes. The change from sound money
of this country and of the civilized world
to the cheap money of the Bcmi-clvilizcd
nud pagan nations, would reduce the
vulue of these savings Just one-half.
