The voter need not to know anv I

in order to CLSting a wise, just

with reference to its wide applica

Republican, was hot for protection.
He was amusing. He snid that
Free Trade "had no more right to
supplant protection than the. Coir

plant the Oounstitution of the Um

Let us see for a moment how
much there is in this talk. First,
no one proposes free trade. The
Democratic bill is extremely mod
erate. If adopted in full, it would
leave the country with a Tarifl
some 14 per cent, higher than the
TuritT the illustrious Hi-nry Clay
favored, and he was tiie father cl
what is known as "the American
Syle.in'-' that is the reviver

trade has never been proi.uunceil

Court of t s ; e Unitd States.

The New York .Star does not giv:
a very encouraging account 01
MrKiuley's success with his broth
fr Republicans and tho Ways and

"The Republican party is so
widaly -divided on the question ot
taxation rtforni that MrlcKiuley
found it impossible ; to secure
agreement betweon the; five Ru
publican members of tho Ways
and Means Committee, lleven t u
measure having ho prospect ol
passage, and only designed for po
htient ellect. It the Ohio protec
tionist should uceeed in bringing
bW tour collcages into fine, he will
&tiU had. it impossibloii to secure
the' assent . of Republican Con
greiitiien generally." ;
It is a divided as well a rottcu
party. Star '
much they say is absurd and I'ala
cious and misleading.1. They know
that a tax makes articles higher,
