AN APPEAL TO FACTS
GRAVE QUESTION TO BE DECIDED
BY THE VOTERS.
Ihe Conflict Is Between the Xew
I'h illxulion and the Dill—Pof un«l
AiSnliint flit- I pholifiiiK of the
American Standard of Living;.
IV,ce hath its patriotism
No less to be revered thun that of war.
A savage is patriotic. But his pa
triotism is chiefly evidenced by willing
use of spear and club against a defend
ing or offending foe. He exemplifies
a current definition, "My country, right
or wrong," by lighting with his tribe
in any cause. Civilized man has other
foes than those who come with spear
or club, rltle or cannon, and his pa
triotism, because he is civilized and has
advanced from the crudeness of the
savnee, should impel him to confront
these other foes as readily as he leaps
at the military kind.
Tribe against tribe and nation
against nation keep the world in a
state of perpetual war. The weapons
vary, and the warlike objects vary.
# Sometimes land conquest or land de
fense is the object. Sometimes com
mercial conquest or commercial de
fense is the object. But the United
States is engaged in a war peculiar, it
being a defensive war, waged on be
half of its worklngmen against the
workingmen of Europe. It is a war of
the new civilization against the old.
It is a war for the maintenance here of
comfortable homes supported by larger
than mere "living wages," for the edu
<• i nof the children of the toilers, for
the independence of that great body of
err ; . pie who create those American
products that have stormed all of
earth's countries. In short, it is a war
for the upholding of that state and
style if everyday existence which Is
(leiii initiated "American!"
Some conditions are "as they are"
a!ul cannot readily be mended. Not
even Democratic stump speakers or
<le::i;-..ogues can mend them. The so
li: ! condition, that one man is called
"i ii;.list" and another is called
"worUinguian," is of this at present
unchangeable kind. Possibly the time
may come when both of these desig
l i' >rs, with the classes that they
represent, will be swept away. But
certainly not yet for awhile will
money thrive without a handler nor
will machinery produce without a
guiding hand. "Things are as they
art-" in that respect. Here in Ameri
ca. however, they could be made much
wi.i-s ■ for the workingman, whereas
now l:a is at the summit of labor's at
tainment. And they may be much
worse unless he fights for his home and
fireside against a foreign foe who is
aided by an American political party.
"My country—the whole world!" is a
noble sentiment, but as yet it Is but
sentiment. Happy it will be for all
mankind when, in the good coming
time, there are no national boundaries.
But that day has not risen, and we
mt'. 't wait a little longer, acting in
the meantime as a nation should that
would keep from entrance that which
i harmful to it. And hareiful and
disastrous would it be to this country
ere its workingtnen reduced to the
condition of those of Europe. Whit
prevents that ilis-iater? What else be:
a protective tariff! Remove it. an!
quickly the whole land would be flood
ed with European goods, sold at a
price with which we could not com
-1 etc. because the American working-
Man receives, and must receive, larger
wages than the European. And it
matters not to our workingman thr.t
he himself might btiv these goods
el: 1 icr than hi-- own employer would
(■ 1 : i him, for if the competition has
close l his factory and stopped his work
and income, wherewith shall he buy'/
Let an appeal to fact be made. When
political campaigns threaten the sub
" s'.itution of free trade for a tarifl'. the
business interests, long familiar with
the aiuis and powers of their foreign
rivals, take fright and curtail in
every possible way. Surely the men
at the compass and helm are more to
be trusted in so vital a matter than
l ien whose lives are spent in talk,
talk. talk, and in a fruitless for
ofilce.
Under any tariff there will be inequal
ities and injustice, and this is special
ly true in the United States, where
there are so many conflicting com
mercial interests. Some men will grow
r>her than they oufiht, and others will
gain less than their due. Corruption,
too, will here and there be manifest.
But. "taking things as tliev are." the
".-wiicricati tariff is the finest creation
of our legislators. It lias enriched and
exalted the nation while providing con
tinuous remunerative employment to
our workinginen. Once again the cam
pa Inn for its permanency is rising to a
crisis, calling once more to its support
millions and millions of patriotic Amer
icans. Patriotism's test is being pre
sented to the nation. It demands that
factions in party subside, that class
warfare be truced in presence of a
common foe, that every patriot lie upon
the ballot firing line on voting day and
that, by every lawful means, a Repub
lican victory, an American victory, be
assured against a European Invasion.
Peace hath Its patriotism
No less to be revered than that of war.
CamiiNtry.
Democratic casuists are earnestly
trying to make Secretary Shaw see
that prosperity for everybody would
result if those who would sell must
take low prices and those who would
buy have no money.—Brooklyn Stand
ard Union.
LOUR HII«1 MIIKIIJ.
The Democrats took their platform
on faith. No one In the convention
heard it read. Hill described it as
"long and mushy," and he was not far
wrong.—Jersey City Journal.
The Democratic talk about the tariff
being the "mother of trusts" is all rot.
There are more trusts In England than
there are in the United States.—Valley
Mills (Tex.,) Protectionist.
SAME KIND OF RECIPROCITY.
Tlint Which McKinley Advocated IN
<h« Hrimbllvan Sort.
If President McKinley had lived there
would have been an entirely different
plank on reciprocity from what appears
now in the Republican platform.—Taunton
Gazette.
We presume our contemporary bases
this assertion on President McKinley's
last speech, in many respects the most
notable one he ever delivered. He
spoke of the desirability of the Repub
lican party readjusting such tariff
schedules as might have grown out of
adjustment with existing business con
ditions. He also declared that reciproc
ity was good Republican doctrine and
should go hand in hand with protec
tion. But the Chicago platform Is not
at variance with any principle or policy
espoused by McKinley. Of reciprocity
he said: "By sensible trade arrange
ments which will not interrupt our
home production we shall extend the
outlets for our increasing surplus.
"A system which provides a mutual
exchange of commodities is manifestly
essential to a continued healthful
growth of our export trade. We must
not repose in fancied security that we
can forever sell everything and buy
little or nothing. If such a thing were
possible, it would not be best for us
or for those with whom we deal. We
should take from our customers such
of their products as we can use with
out harm to our industries and labor."
Here is what the Republican plat
form has to say on this question of
reciprocity: "We have extended widely
our foreign markets, and we believe in
the adoption of all practicable methods
for their further extension, including
commercial reciprocity wherever re
ciprocal arrangements can be effected
consistent with the principles of pro
tection and without injury to American
agriculture, American labor or any
American industry."
Wherein does tills differ, except in
phraseology, from the reciprocity idea
promulgated by McKinley 7 Only such
trade arrangements were favored by
McKinley as would not interrupt our
home production or work harm to our
industries. The Chicago platform de
clares for reciprocity consistent with
the principles of protection, a reciproc
ity which will not injure American
agriculture, American labor or Ameri
can industry. The platform is in en
tire harmony with McKinley's latest
and best thought on the subject of
commercial treaties. Any attempt to
make It appear otherwise is a willful
perversion of the facts.—Springfield
Union.
Garvin'* Heeiproclty.
Governor "Garvin of Rhode Island In
his Tammany Hall speech July 4 said:
"The Democratic party should com
mit itself to a genuine and workable
reciprocity, not by the transfer of leg
islative powers to the president or even
to the treaty making power, but by a
simple law declaring free trade with
the oilier American countries whenever
and at the same moment that any such
country reciprocates by admitting our
products free."
One can easily imagine how such a
policy would work. In the first place,
we'would have to admit free all manu
factures of iron and steel and textile
products from Great Britain; then, if
any of our Industries should survive,
they would meet with quick death when
Germany aud France and other conti
nental countries came after their share
of "reciprocity." What a delusion it all
is, to be sure! Talk of reciprocity be
ing a step towaru free trade oi' fro.'
; trade itself! Why. the reciprocity of
i the Garvin o '.lcr would be worse, far
! worse, than any free trade we coul:l
J possibly enact into law.
