WELL INVESTED.
'Wimt Drlloim Will Pay For the In
stallment of Protection.
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.
