HOW IT WILL BE BROUGHT ABOUT IF IT COMES AT ALL. lleelprocity In Competitive Products Woald Inevitably Lead to tl»e Downfall of the System of Protect ing Labor and Industry. In contending that reciprocity in loinpetitive products is the right policy far the United States to adopt the Dos Moines Register and Leader, a Repub lican newspaper, exhibits a "progres sive" tendency far in advance of the general mass of Republican writers and speakers. At its present rate of ••progress" it will soon land squarely in the free trade camp. It can land nowhere else, for once the system of protection begins to be abrogated in spots through special trade arrange ments whereunder foreigners are en couraged to undersell American prod ucts in the American market protec tion as a national and uniform policy must cease to exist. Reciprocity in competitive products is the beginning of the end of protection. That is why such reciprocity is op posed by the American Protective Tar iff league. For the same reason the best Republican thought of the country opposes it. Outside of a few special lo calities which clamor for free trade in the things they have to buy, but insist upon protection for the things they have to sell—outside of lowa and cer tain parts of New England, where some people foolishly imagine that they can have free coal, free iron ore, free wool, free hides, etc., while at the same time retaining tariff protection on their fin ished products—generally speaking, we say, there is no sentiment among Re publicans for reciprocity in competitive products. If therefore the Tariff league is in line with Republican thought on this question, is it not doing a good work for Republicanism and protec tionism in endeavoring to point out the dangers and disadvantages of reciproc ity in competitive products? The l>es Moines Register and Leader, however, thinks otherwise: "The Protective Tariff league and the American Economist in their opposition to Cuban reciprocity have done more to weaken the hold which the protective policy has upon the American people and to give color to the suspicion, which Democratic free traders are al ways ingeniously encouraging, that perhaps after all the policy is dictated more by selilsh interests than any other two agencies that have been engaged in the recent discussi n. Reciprocity may not prove to be all that James G. Blaine pictured it, but reciprocity Is firmly enough established in the confidence of the friends of protection that the man who opposes it is aiming the most effec tive blow at the whole American sys tem that he is capable of." It is easy to say that protection is a policy "dictated by selfish interests." Free traders have said it many times. In fact, it is about all they can say. It seems to be by some people considered a crime to stand hard and fast for an economic system that invites the in vestment of capital and insures the em ployment of labor. Altruists of the Cohden school of superior thought see only selfishness in such a system. The Register and Leader appears to share this view. It is concerned lest too much zeal for the preservation of protection as the American policy should work the downfall of that policy. We think the apprehension is unfounded. When protection falls, it will fall through the treachery of professed friends and not through the fidelity of true friends. Won't Have "Calamity" Issue. Genera! business calamity is the only thing that will afford the Democrats a chance to win, according to the word of one of the most experienced and clear headed of the country's Demo crats, ex-Senator Vest, and neither that statesman nor anybody else whose opinion on the subject is worth any thing sees calamity in the immediate future. It is clear to business men throughout the country that the finau eial adversity is not in sight which would be necessary to give any chance of success to the Democrats. Neither is the harmony in sight without which that party cannot make even as strong a canvass as it did in 11)00.—St. Louis G lobe-Democrat. Fine In Theory\ Bad In Practice. Free trade is best defined in the lan guage of the Richmond Times in 1804. Referring to state rights, that paper remarked that "in theory they are beautiful and true, but defective in practice." Some people learn by study ing a question to a logical conclusion, and there are others who will not learn an economic lesson when it is demon strated practically by free soup stands. —Sheffield (Ala.) Reaper. Mr. Cleveland's Consolation. In speaking of Henry Ward Beecher Mr. Cleveland says that "when he felt the cruel stings of man's ingratitude ind malice he serenely looked toward lis Heavenly Father's face and kept vithin the comforting light of a pure nselonco." If Mr. Cleveland applies All of the antitrust legislation now in he federal statute books is Republican ii-gii'.lation. All the prosecuting of the trusts lias been done by u Republican attorney general. What antitrust meas ures have the Democrats ever passed? What trust did the Democrats prose cute when they were in power"? What practical remedy for monopoly oppres sion has any Democrat proposed?—St. Louis Dispatch. A. Promntnre llonm.
