Democratic Turill' TimeN.
The past year has not been a boom
year. Conservative business methods
and some contraction have been the
logical and Inevitable sequence of the
inflation and exaggerated speculation
that accompany every period of wide
j :re id prosperity in any country. The
closest students of conditions believe
that all branches of enterprise are
merely "taking their second wind" for
a renewal of the industrial and com
mercial activity that began when the
country was freed from fear of the
tariff and currency wreckers eight
years ago. The belief of these observ
ers is based upon advices about the
crops, which on the are very
good: the assured increase of railroad
earnings because of big crops, the im
proved feeling in the steel and iron
trade, the profits of our exporters be
cause of the war needs of Japan and
Russia and the reports of good collec
tions both in the east and west.
Meanwhile there are thousands of
men on strike in different parts of the
country. Men in a few of the indus
tries have lost positions or suffered a
reduction of salary. To these men the
old Democratic sermon will be
preached, and they will be in danger
of being deceived into advocacy of far
i-each!ag disaster because of a tempo
rary depression.
No American should be permitted to
forget the time of the tariff of "perfidy
and dishonor." Parker did not object
to the St. Louis demand for "revision
and reduction" of the tariff by tele
gram or otherwise. A vote for him,
therefore, will be a vote for such tariff
tinkering and consequent industrial
•ii -i vss as was experienced under the
Cleveland regime. The puerile plea
that a Democratic president and house
could do no harm because of the Re
publa n senate will not avail. The in
troduction of another Wilson bill would
be the signal for retrenchment of busi
ness ventures of every description, even
if a panic were averted. —New York
Mail.

'' ~ "business hopefulness is in the

PROTECTION FACTS.
a. T" Ilrnnnrltt About Fairest
Difitrtbutloii uf
It is customary for our friends of the
opposition whenever a campaign is on
to bewail the ungual distribution of
; wealth in this country, Jo point tearful
ly to the favored classes and the down
! trodden masses and to denounce the
■ protective tariff as an agency for "rob
i bins the many to enrich the few."
Of course there are rich people and
l>oor people, and the latter are in the
majority. Thrift is less common than
wastefulness. The genius for accumu
lation, for business enterprise, for econ
omy. for perceiving and grasping op
portunities, for adapting means to ends,
is less prevalent than are opposite char
acteristics. Likewise such talents as
make statesmen, orators, musicians,
poets, mathematicians, inventors, as
tronomers, etc., are possessed l»y the
minority of human beings. The abili
ty to get rich is undoubtedly quite as
much a matter of inborn temperament
as is the faculty of achievement in any
other line of special endeavor.
But, going back to the unequal dis
tribution of worldly possessions, is it
true that the protective tariff is the
cause of all the trouble? if so, we
should look to some country which lias
110 protective tariff for an exemplifica
tion of the opposite condition. And as
Great Britain is the only nation of any
importance that clings to free trade it
is there, if anywhere, that there must
be found immunity from the alleged
"special privileges to favored interests"
conferred by protection. Is it true,
then, in England, as compared with
America, tlrat the rich are less rich,
that the poor are less poor, that the
gulf between the two classes is less
wide and deep, that wealth tends less
to become centralized and more to be
come diffused among the masses? We
know that no such state of affairs ex
ists.
It is notorious that England presents
the widest extremes of plutocracy and
poverty, of luxury and deprivation, of
"classes" and ••masses," of big and
growing fortunes for the few and of
fixedness in their low estate for the
many. We know, furthermore, that the
United States is immeasurably ahead
of England in opportunities for arising
from lowly conditions to the heights of
individual distinction and prosperity,
from the workshop to the manager's
ollice, from the day wage to large own
ership, from nienlalisiu to mastership.
What folly, then, to heap 011 protection
reproaches which it does not deserve
and to charge it with those inequalities
which exist to a greatly aggravated de
gree in a country which makes the best
showing that can be made for free
trade.—Rochester Democrat and Chron
icle.
FREE TRADE BOURBONS.
Take ( |» (he 01<l Familiar Weapon*
to Attack Protection.
It is like good old times to hear the
Democratic newspapers and spokesmen
take up the weapons of free trade and
with them the Impudent but delicious
assumption of the free trader that the
American people are opposed 011 prin
ciple to protection, which only persists
because of the powerful iniluence of
the "protected interests."
Three large facts have written them
selves into current American history
and should have made some impression
011 every intelligence not hopelessly
Bourbon. The first of these was that
the last Democratic tariff was a failure
as a revenue getter and a potent factor
in producing the soup kitchen era. The
second was that the masses of the peo
ple took the measure of tariff reform in
that period atul recorded themselves, so
far as they could, in the off year elec
tions of 181)4 and 181 >."> and only with
great reluctance consented under the
pressure of a new peril to forego their
revenge and the tariff verdict they were
eager to enter in lS'.K.i. The third is
that the protective principle, as em
bodied in the Dingley tariff, not only
cured the country's immediate distress,
but ushered in a period of the greatest
prosperity and industrial and commer
cial activity in our history.—-New York
Mail.
