Viewed as an investment, the $700,000 a year wliicb British business men are l»a;. nig to spread the doctrine of pro let ion is uot such an extravagant l>ri< e. It will be worth $700,000,000 a year to the United Kingdom if free nade shall b'e displaced and protection i ist;ilied. The election of William Me- Kiuley as president of the United Stales and the passage of the Dlugiey 1,-iriff law in July. 1897, ha ve been worth in ;e people of the United States more 'llr :i $20,000,000,000. The loss to the country resulting from the installment ni' a free trade government in ISito is mi rvatively estimated att ten billions. Under Dingley law protection the i ;/y has recouped that loss of ten bns and in addition lias increased i. - .gregatc wealth more than ten bil lii as. To bring about and maintain this eminently desirable state of things has not cost ilit* protectionists of the I lined States more than a small frac t; at ut what the protectionists of Great i'. .tin are willing to pay in the cam paign of education and enlightenment that is necessary in order to qualify Mi voters to decide intelligently as be'.ween free trade and protection. As a matter of fact, our American protec tionists—unfairly, as we view it—for Hie most part decline to pay anything toward the support and preservation of the protection policy. The expense of hooping alive protection sentiment aiming our older class of voters and of bringing the advantages of the policy to the minds of the younger class of voters is borne by a few individuals very few indeed in comparison with the numbers who profit by and believe in protection. And the total sum eon ii luted in behalf of protection in the I in id States seems like a bagatelle \v!: a contrasted with the $700,000 a year which the Tariff Reform league ri c'ivos from British producers. Iu eiilaT ease, however, it is a gilt edged i;i\i -tunent. Money effectively spent in propagating the doctrine and policy of protection to home labor and home in dustry is absolutely certain to yield satisfactory returns. t levelanrf «N a Candidate. Mr. Cleveland's llrst election was ac complished at a time when he had no settled views on the tariff or other pub lic questions, and a Republican senate loade it impossible for him to accom pli it anything when he did try. But 1 is celebrated free trade message near Tie close of his term did tremendous iti.ittry to the business of the nation and brought about his defeat. When Mr. Cleveland was re-elected four years later with a certainty of tariff revision along free trade lines the country suffered almost its much as it did in the civil war. What would be the result of his re-election If again nominated? Business would again be paralyzed, and no one could tell what the enil would be. Should he be chosen .-tin! the Democrats get control of con gress before his term expired the tariff would again be revised on the Wilson lines. The danger of this from the start would bring back the soup house tlays of the last Cleveland administra tion. It would not matter the 1 ti'inocratlc nominee was, the result would be the same. Are there any capitalists who want to contribute money to that end? Are there any business men who are inter ested in the welfare of this country \\lio would seek to bring back the dis tress, misery and enormous loss that characterized the last Democratic ad ministration? it is not possible that business men who have heretofore sup ported the Republican party would, out of spite, if they had reason for that feeling, turn about and support a Dem ocratic nominee.—Philadelphia Press. L'arker UM H Candidate. Judge Parker of New York is the most 1 iliely man now under considera tion for the Democratic presidential nomination. lie was not a Bryan man in 1800, but voted for the Nebraska candidate in 1000 because of his conli dc nee that Bryan would not be elected, l'arker would probably not come with in 100 or 200 electoral votes of being I successful, but his nomination would be valuable to tlie country and to the Democratic party in marking the re i •.:•!! of that distracted organization to tl policies and controversies of its old li e traditions.—Cadillac (Mich.J News aa J Express. A Direct laaue. There is no question about the di rectness of the issue raised in the re cent byelcctions iu England. The Lib e-al candidate at Dulwieh had a list of questions, which he asked the elect ors, the first of which was, "Are prepared to declare for a policy of protection based on taxes on food?" lie was promptly answered in the af firmative, the opposing Chamberlalnite being chosen by a large majority.— >'an Francisco Chronicle. A Joke on flearnt. William Randolph Hearst continues to 1180 his syndicate of newspapers to inflate his presidential boom. Would it not be a joke If his name were not mentioned In the national convention? I'oti wouldn't it be a bigger Joke of an other kind if he were nominated?— • ieveiand leader. Hearst** tlroail #( t>«mnrraey. It Is stated oh n cloin: of William R. Hearst upon tbe Democratic nomina tion for president that be la in favor of | government ownership of railroads and telegraphs and all other public utili- | ties. In that ease he is evldeutly in the wrong gallery. He should apply to the l'opulists and other champions of state isoi'lallsm for a presidential nomina tion. Government ownership of the railroads and canals does not belong to i the Jeffersonian tt.nd Jacksonian school of Democracy.—Philadelphia Record. i Will Bryan Betray Hla PartyT A dispatch from Nebraska says that Mr. Bryan's friends are going to try to elect him to the United States sen ate, even if they have to trade presi dential votes In order to carry the next legislature for him. Would not even Bryan's easy sense of fairness shy at the idea that he may first insist on dictating the Democratic ticket nnd then betray it In his own state to pro mote bis personal ambition?— Buffalo Express. The Dutch Take Holland Aval a. Holland proposes to Install a new protective tariff system. The thing seems to be contagious. Tbe country, which Is small and of limited indus try, makes a mistake to identify Its own case with that of our protected continental free trade. We win be cause we get so high a continental standard of life and because we have limitless resources to develop.—Boston Journal. Mercantial Appraisment.
