firms that '"there is no' greater evi
dence bf civilization. Christian civiliza
tion, than'taxatfbn, and the volume of
taxation per capita expresses it." (In
congress March jLSth, 1893.)
TheJ McKipley j school of economists
have demonstrated , to their own satis
faction that tfade is desirable, -if
carried on between individuals in the
same i state, or nation, but that it is
most harmful, i carried on between in
dividuals joiS different nations. They
belieye that It was the intention of the
maker of j this earth that the oceans,
seas and mountain chains, that form
natural bpundafies between nations;
should reinain Impassable; and thit
ocean steamers! are responsible fbr
many of our economic ills. They are
now agreed jthafj cheapness or at least
sucb cheapness ks does not come from
internal competition is a curse.
All of their teaching's are at variance
with those of the old school economists,
which shows what old fogies the latter
were. ' ' I :! II
But now the list support of political
' conomy, as-she,is written, is about to
; be knoekd-outjby the practical 'pro
tectionist vhofnever see books but
' who are the financial backers of he
McKinley ! school. These
influential
gentlemen s announce that they are
about to jproceed in an original way
that will tjurn tpsy-turvy all the rec
ognized principles governing wages.
The protected manufacturers in their
last national platform asked permis
sion to have tariffs adjusted to wasres.
Xheir recfutet eing denied, they de
clare that theyl will adjust wages to
tariffs aa soon s new rates are fixed.
; The new j iyon lwr of wages will read
sbout as follow: j
: Wa?es in any industry shall be fixed
by increasing the lowest wages paid by
foreign competitors by the rate per
' sent, of dnty left on the products of
that! indusliy. f j ":
j That this is the law now being
formulated! by tihe disappointed manu
facturers, ji$ evident from , the follow
ing quotations from one of their great
sst economic authorities the Iron Ae,
jf January S18: j-
The manufaxturers of pottery and
the makers; of collars and cuffs have
laid down! a line; of action with regard
to wages fwhictf seoms logically unas
tailable. jAssurning- that duties on im
ported manufactured articles should be
ipplied solely for the benefit of work-
tngrnen, tne proposition to pay foreign
cchejdules 'of waig-es in the same trades,
plus American duties, appears eminent
ly fair. H I
'The advocates of the new basis of
wages for! American workingmen have
cot deliberately largued themselves into
the adoption of fuch a policy. It is not
with them a theory that has gradually
taken root -and developed into a move
ment for exploitation. It has suddenly
been forced on them by the provisions
f the Wilson tariff bilL The potters
ixpect the keenest competition from
the English potters, and, therefore, pro
pose to pay. English wages, plus duties.
The collaf. and fcuff makers find their
sompetitors in Germany, and make Ger
man wag'es thebj basis. If employers
in, other lines follow the example thus
laid down, they, will take wages paid
in the , several poun tries from which
they have reason to apprehend the se
verest rivalry in American markets,
sn4 will prepare corresponding wag'es
schedules j for ieir workmen. The
lower the . wages paid in competing
eountries,' the Ipwer would wages be
forced in ;the United Statea It is by
no means Sa pleasant picture to hold up
before anlAmeriican workingman, that
his wages' should be regulated by the
worst pai( labor in any country in the
world, but is that not the direct solu
tion of the problem to be forced on the
cotintry by the new administration, ac
cording to the prophet i crying in the
wilderness of Wst Virginia,"
Manufacturers have become bo ac
customed to "regulating" protection
and "fixing'" prices and wages thit
they imagine thit they can go right on
"retruLating ana fixing at pleasure.
ven after they tfre shorn of that pro
tection which aldne gives them power
to! set aside ordinary economic laws
and to trample; upon human liberty.
That they are misters of the situation,
is j evident fron their declaration, in
the Iron Age, that , trades unions can
not "prevent the introduction of such a
system of regulating American wages.
The importance pf unions to interfere
with resolutions brought about by
natural causes jjhas been very thor
oughly demonstrated during the past
two years the! power of the
organizations has been badly broken
by the hard timers and scarcity of work,
so that English $r Belgian wa?es, plus
duties, i:by no means a nightmare."

j sounds tha death kneil of t'i most
1 .
accurseu tr'istluil ever prvcil upon
i
the homes of our hardw.r cin- citizens.
' No baud of pirates ev.-r had less moral
rijrht to the posies-ion of its booty
than has the sttr.ir trust t the &i0,
000.000 which it, in s and IS'J:;. ex
tracted from the poc'tets, or sugar
bowls, of the people,- by means of the
)i cent per pound dutv which Mclviu
ley and A Id rich wcrj paid for leaving
on refined sugar.
These mill.ons werj airratuity to the
trust; unjustifiable evei upon the
grounds of protectio'i. This duty on
; Hujrar produced n revenue and no
nee iel protoctio i, it w.i-i:oply a
license to the trust t rob the people.
Our biy refineries refine sugar cheaper
than it is refined any where else in the
(World. Their ttvat:n;nt of labor
(mostly Italians and llu-is) have been
shameful and their behavior as mem
bers of a trust has been shoc!dnr, even
to the hardene I sen-si irilities of Wall
' street. Their S75.0 JJ.OO0 of c.ipital
j stock is mostly (som i authorities say
all) water aud yet it takes clever book
keeping to keep dividends down to
j about 20 per ce at. a year on this cap
ital. Scarcely a true statement bear
ing upon the tariff i.r bounty question
has been publ'shed since the present
conjrress began its work. And j-et the
ways and means committee decided t .
compromise with th sugar robbers
by splitting their duty. in the middle.
It is a sign of courage on the part of
the democrats who-voted with Warner.
Like the vote on the Tom L. 'Johnson
amendment to put steel rails on the
free list, it shows that the uverasre
democrat is. more radical than the
! wavs and means committee. It dealt
a blow tojthe sugar trust from which
it will never recover. As a trust killer.
it is worth a hundred Sherman anti
trust laws. That the trust realized
that it had received its death sting, is
evident from the f;iub that within ten
minutes from the opening of the stock
! exchange, after the pass iye of the
amendment, blocks of stock were sold
at 76. although the last price of the
! previous day was Sl. It is not im
probable that the protected manufact-
urers may yet be sorry that they did
not advise their republican congress
' men to agree to ucceot the Wilson bill
the first day it was presented to the
house. They are losing' ground with
every day's dissension. The fallacies
and wrongs of "protection" are being
more thoroughly exposed than ever be
fore and the "jig is up" fof all pauper
industries. It will be but a few years
until ' our self-supporting industries
shall be freed from the support of beg
gar "industries I'rosperitv will then
smile as it has never vet smiled ' upon
us.
Trusts, take warning! The Ainer-
ican people sre "onto" your tricks.

Following U a part of Mr. Warner's
criticism of the proposed duties on
woolens:
"In the first place, sir. it is proposed
to give New England the relief that
she ought to have ia free r iw mater
ials, free coal, free iron, free lninicr,
free wiyl, fres trade.; or a reduced
tariff upon nexrly every, material that
she uses; and yet it is proposed to leave
upon her ' principal industry, that of
wool manufacturing, duties which are
not merely scandalous in amount, but
far trond those w.iich upon any con
sistent theory, even of protection to
labor, can be for a moment defended.
The dnties proposed are generally 4 1
percent, up n the classes of 'woolen
oo sinst used. As to all of these,
w th free raw materials given them by
this very bill, a revenue tariff of '2o per

"1 know, sir. that there ars men on
this floor tox who tell us that if the
Wilson bill is passed some wool manu
facturing establishments will fail,
l'.ut 1 have heard such thlacrs before.
You will remember that during t'te
campaign of 1S8S our protectionist
frieals mada great "capital of the fact
that after hav'ng been in bad condi
tion for many years, the campaign
year in which the ! lis bill was be ii-:
di cussed, witnessed the failure of fifty
seven concrns in tHe wool t -ale, in
volvin ' ' liab lities of $,GJ7.0)J. We
were told that all this c;ime from the
fact that the mere d;scus-Jon of the
question had scare. 1 the woolen busi
ness to le ith. ! nt th it if Mr .Harrison
were elected, treneral confi lence wou! 1
take charge of the demoralized battal
ions, and that every wheel of industry
would be set running. In my own dis
trict, sir, withi i a few days after elec
tion hid shown that protection was
safe for years to come, the wages were
reduced in the one establishment em
ploying the most workers in wool, and
wit hi i one 3-ear from that date there
had gone into liquidation seventy-two
concerns, with liabilities of f 10,500,0'K);
all of which showed how much more
damaging it was to the wool business
to have confidence restored under Har
rison than to be scared to death by the
Mills bill.
"Of course I do not mean to claim
that the election of Mr. Harrison di I
this. The trouble lay far deeper, an.I
is the trouble that is now spreading
dry rot amid so large a proportion of
the woolen mills of New Eaglan I: that
if a committee of the manufacturers
themselves were to take the matter in
hand they would close -up at once,
whether the ilson bill or the -McKinley
bill is to rule, a large prop irtion of
the mills on the ground that as busi
ness concerns they have no right to ex
istence. The trouble with this indus
try is that it h;s become one too largely-run
by grandsons, but to which the
grand rathers, long ago of blessed mem
ory, contributed the last ounce of busi
ness enterprise that made it i prospers
ous one. The trouble is that while,
wages are not so much, higher in
Europe as to justify even a 10 per cent,
tariff on the total cost of tbe'g.ro.U,
there nre too many cases in which a sin
ecure treasurer, a member of. and nom
inated by. tho family that owns a large
proportion of the stock, is paid a large
salary which he does not! earni an 1 in
which those ownin c smaller bhjeks are
permitted to load the aecount of the
company by; simil.ir charges. The
cases are too many where plants, which
sound sense would not have perm ttel
to exist, have been erected at enormous
cost, and inste ul of being ch tred oil
to profit and loss, are still he!. I as the
basis over which
stretch" dividends
it is Mtte npted to
th t they do n t
earn.
"No tariff can help troubles like
these. If it were raised to 100 per cent,
it would s mply encourage thfin to hold
on a little while lunger,' and inv lve
them a good deal do per in , disaster
when they found that their shrewder
neighbors had forestalled their oppor
tunity. There is no rivalry more de
moralizing to legitimate business than
that of bankrupt concern! like these.
There is no employment inore discour
aging to the laboring mn than that
furnished' by such institutions, just
euough to keep him alive land hold him
from leaving to better hupself, and not
enongu to keep him prosperous or to
afford decent support for: his family.
The quicker -.their d"moralizing exist
ence is ended the better it will be for
every good business man, for every
competent workmaa, and for every
self-supporting American citiz -n. You
c innot'adjust the tarilT so as to save
them. Even if you could they are not
worth saving. It isv simply impudent
that we should be asked to try it.
Twenty -five per cent upon the great
mass of woolen goods is so much more
than enough to make up for the total
amount of labor involved that nothing
luit the fjct. that we need revenue as
badly as we do, and that such is the
rate which will probablv produce the
most revenue, can foe a moment' justif
the extortion; and no coiyideration o
which 1 am aware can for a moment
excuse our attempting to go further, as

HOW LASOR IS PROTECTED.

If this thing callel protection were
real:y f.r thf leneSt of working peo
ple an I such a blessing to them as its
defenders and immediate lenefic'aries
would h .ve us believe, we would ex
pect lo find the pes tion of labor ex
cepti.mally stri'mg and its condition ex
ceptionally good.
Hut this is precisely whit we do not
finL Lenever there is a season of
depression, jd.ght or severe, the tlr.-t
and loudest crv of distress comes from
those industries that are enjoj-ing to
the utmost the alleged benefits of the
system of commercial restriction. The
crops of the 'unprot-cted farmers may
be short and prices low; there may be
depression and thousands may he
thrown out of employment in tha un
protected build. tr-des; the same
tn y happen in the unprotected busi
ness of railway construction. In such
cases we seldom hear of extreme desti
tution and distress The men im
mediately affected have to restrict
their indulgence in the comforts and
to some extent the necessaries of life,
but somehow they manage to exist
without making much complaint of
p verty and they "rarely appeal to pub
lic charity. .
Hut the moment depress'on. no mat
ter where or howit may originate,
reaches a protected industry, as it al
w i ys does sooner or later, there is a
loud outcry. When a few protected
mills shut dqwn or a few protected
mjnes suspend operations we begin to
hear of want an I distress an 1 lou I
calls for relief. The unprotected in:i
j rit- o the people, tvh ) have alrea ly
been fo;Cfd to contribute i l the way of
hightirtf pr c s an a.r.no-ts aggre

tected in In-1 i ;s mast M:itribute ;n "e

The unprotected, hard pres e l as they
may be by the involuntary burdens
they have had to -irry assume a vol
untary burden for the relief of toilers
in induf tries which are protected up n
the pretence of benefitting labor.;
This is no theory, but fact open to
common obse:-va tion it is nitafict
of the existing situation merely.; but a
fact conspicuous in every one of tho-
depressions wh'ch are of such frequent
recurrence under tne system of allege I
protection. Itamnot be attribute-! t-
a prospect of tariff reduction, for it ap
pears quite as plainly when there is no
such prospect . It is a fact which
stamps the vthole system as a mon
strous imposition and a fraud.
And it Is ea$ily accounted for by any
one who wiil taUe the trouble to thin'c.
The system impr.rts an unhealthy
stimulus tothe pampered industries by
holding but the promise of great profitN
and vast fortunes" quickly amassed.
Excessive proluction naturally results,
necessarily followed by restriction, re
duction of waL'es or time, and a whole
sale discharge of workmen. '. Then,
when stoeks are exhausted
ctissive production again
there is ex
under the
same
unnatural stimulus. And so it
joes. Th -re is a continual acrue. al
ternating shakes and fever in the cod
dle! industries. Under such conditions
the average of wage is lower than in
the self-reliant industries, cnpl vvmcnt
is more fitful, and the workmen nre
not so well prepared to bear temporary
reverses f
The pretense that tariff protection
benefits those who work for wages is
utterly fraudulent It has not a leg
to stand oj. The vvhoie svstetn is Lorn
of greed. The employer takes the
wbo'e loaf of cake m l eats it in h;s

It is, as Mr. Wilion sait, a moderate
measure. It was framed with a sincere
desire to deal justly with the whole
country. It aimed t relieve industries
an I consumption of oppressive burdens
without disturbing diasfcrously the
conditions long fostered by the govern
ment It therefore became, as its
framers frankly admitted, a protective
measure It is a higher tariff than
Henry Clay thought necevsary for the
protection of infant industries fifty
years airo. It is higher th n the Mor
rill tnrifE of IS'M. It is a less average
reduction of a 50 - er ceat tariff than
the republican tarLT cointnisiipn of
r"-rnntr!eaded in a 4) per cent, taritf.
It is only in comperis-m with the'Mc
K.nley mou-drossilv. which the people
have twi-.-e condemne 1 by more than
1.800.000 majsnty each time, that the
Wilson bill j-eems a reform measure.
The democratic party is prepared to
repeal McKinleyism, and the Wilson
bill does it It leaves' to labor and to
capital all the protection that they
need. It deserves the united support
of the party fn congress.' It will if en
acted puftie democracy in the way of
another victrv in ISiM. N. Y. World.

WismxaTOX, March ,1. Goldea
sib-nee will give place to silver speech
in the senate from his re-assembling at
noon today until its probable adjourn
ment for the week on Thursday nexk
Under agreement the Bland seigniorage
bill in the form in which it passed the
house with all its alleged crudities un
changed will come up immediately
after the morping " hour today
probably about 12:80 p. m., and will
hold its place as the unfinished busi
ness until Wednesday at 2 p. m., when
rthe vote is to be taken on Mr. Allison's
motion to reconsider the vote by which
the bill was read the third tune and
put upon its passage. That motion
failing the motion to commit will be
voted upon, aud that failing debate is
to be continued under the five minute
rule until Thursday at 2 o'clock, when
the vote is to be taken on the final
passage of the bilL
Finance Report.
Should Allis n's motion prevail the
final vote will be taken at the same
time, but the bill will in the meantime
be open to amendment No senator
has given notice of an intention
speak on this bill, but silver coinage hi
a subject upon which some senators
at least are never dumb. Expectation,
however, center upon the views of
others whose remarks are expected to
be brief and pointed, Mr. Allison head
ing the list. It is thought that the
finance committee will be able to re
port the tariff bill tdthe senate thi
week, as the members pf that com
mittee are more or less interested in
the seigniorage bill and will be anx
ious to I e in the senate during the de
bate. This leaves but two hours, from
lo to 12 daily for committee work and
not much headway can possibly be
made in that short time.

Washington. March 12. Mhiistr
Thurston when seen this morning early
concerning the reported startling sltn-
! ation on the Hawaiian Islands, said
that he had not received advice from
his government concerning the present
state of affairs and had gained infor
mation of them only from the newspu
pers. He was inclined to think the re
ports exaggerated, although it had
been known for some time that th ex
qtiecn was seeking recruits in British,
Columbia.
Mr. Thurston believed, however, thai
the provisional government has the ad
ministration of the government so rU
in hand that it has nothing to fear rrotj.
the qnteens followers. The report thai
many now employed by the govern
ment would join the queens forftt
