lVINO TRUTHS OF THE PRAC-
TICAL POLICY.

Which Nerve to I'rove I lie Wl^iloiu of
the People In Calling the Tarty Hack
to Power.
What Hanna* Wants.
When I ho return of I ho election of
1N92 showed that the administration of
our government was about to change
from a protective tariff policy,
which kept out of this country
much that wo could manufacture
here, to a "reform" tariff, or free
trade policy, which would give
foreign mechanics a better chance to
sell their goods in this country, the
following was the very natural result
l>4 UTV ! duct to keep the railroads alive. Was
4 not this a murderous blow struck at
! the railroads by their president? For
aiming it Mr. Wilson receives the pres-
ident's decorations."
The murderous blow did not happily
strike with the effect that was intended,
but the attempt has served "to warn the
country what it has to exp^pt when the
people put free-traders in power.
It is noteworthy also that what Mr.
Lieter says in regard to coal applies to
other products that the Wilson bill
would havo admitted free. When for-
eign materials are allowed to displace
home products in our -markets then we
are hastening that "widespread ruin"
to which Mr. Lieter refers.
It Is notable also that Mr. Lieter, who
has paid millions of dollars of Import
duties, upholds protection and speaks
of "manufactures, agriculture and
transportation" as 'the three great ele-
ments" of national prosperity.
MlnleadIng Theories
The cost of the raw material in the
manufactured article was a theme of
discussion in the presidential campaigu
of 1892 among the advocates of the so-
called reform tariff. Facts, ascertained
by investigation, show that such cost
is very small in proportion to the other
expenses. For illustration, the price of
an elaborately made article of house-
hold furniture may be $100 to $150, yet
the raw material used in the same may
cost $12 or $15. This is equally true
of a piano costing from $300 to $800;
the raw material may cost $25 or $30.
In these cases the cost of the material

robberies at this
dear reader, you and I and every
body else expected that when the demo-
cratic administration should come into
power the tariff would be greatly lower-
ed and prices would come down—at
least the prices of manufactured good|.
Many people didn't look or care be-
yond that.
So we stopped short in buying any-
thing except for immediate use. He-
fore that people would buy for future
use, sometimes in quantities at whole-
sale. Merchants often closed out all
their winter goods in February to peo-
ple who bought for following years.
Hut all this stopped short off. Mer-
chants were overstocked with all kinds
of merchandise, and as they, like the
consumers, expected lower prices in the
near future, they stopped buying of the
manufacturers. Thus the manufactur-
ers found no market for great quanti-
ties of goods already made up. and their
employes had to be laid off. These
latter, who work for regular wages,
seldom lay up money, and when their
wages stopped they also stopped buy-
ing the farmer's and stock-raiser's
produce.
Then the people all over the land who
had money withdrew it from invest-
ments as fast as possible, because they
were afraid of all kinds. And that
n\oney Is idle today. Manufacturers
cannot do business on borrowed capital,
because they cannot borrow.
We, as a nation, are all dependent
upon each other, and if any great num-
ber of our people are out of employ-
ment all the people will suffer. What
the people want is not more idle money,
but more work and moje buyers for
what we have to sell.
Our country is being flooded with the
merchandise of Europe, and it will be
sold at some price or other, and we can-
not have real general prosperity until
the workmen and not as iron ore in
the mine or wood In the forests. Its
great expense is in the wages of the
workmen who procure it.
Mr. Cleveland himself laid great
stress upon the free admission of iron
ore and coal and was#speclally earnest
for wool to be admitted free of duty.
Take an illustration: A gentleman's
suit of fine broadcloth weighs, with the
trimmings, &c., from to pounds;
the cloth itself does not weigh more
than perhaps 6 or CVa pounds. Sup-
pose an* American manufacturer buys
the best quality of merino wool to use
in making his cloth, and in order to
cover the wastage he buys 10 pounds
of the wool. The McKlnley bill im-
posed a duty of 11 cents a pound on
that class of wool. From this it fol-
lows that each gentleman's broadcloth
suit costs $1.10 more money because of
the duty. Now intervenes one type
of statesmanship, which, in order that,
perhaps, a half million of gentlemen
may eac h obtain a suit of broadcloth
$1.10 cheaper, all wool is admitted free
of duty. In consequence the sheep rais-
ing industry of the United States, which
is estimated in value to be nearly $100,-
000,000, is depreciated about one-half.

A I>«*moeral on Protection.
Mr. L. Z. Lieter, the retired merchant
who amassed so much wealth in trade
at Chicago, says, like Senator David H.
Hill: "I am a democrat." Hut he Is
at the same time a firm protectionist,
and one who recently expressed some
Home truths that we recommend to the
careful consideration of his fellow-dem-
ocrats. lie has not a high opinion of
Congressman, now Postmaster-General
Wilson. Hut who has? Mr. Lieter ob-
served :
"I look upon Mr. Wilson as foolish. A
man must be foolish to have made such
a tariff bill as he originally passed
and which the president approved of.
It would have made widespread ruin.
No public enemy could have done us
more harm than the Wilson tariff bill
if passed."
This is strong language from a demo-
crat and ought to cause concern to the
congressmen, now mostly ex-congress-
men, who voted for the Wilson tariff
bill. There were among them men who
knew, as well as Mr. Lieter. the per-
nicious character of that measure. Hut
from lack of moral courage they voted
positively that they are going to
'tinker' the tariff."
The Evening Post may feel assured
that the republican party, is soon as it
has the power to do so, in both house
and senate will obey the popular man-
date, given in thunder tones at the
election of 1894, to protect American
industry. It has upheld that policy in
times of disaster; it will not abandon
it now, when it is about to enter again,
and with renewed vigor, into power.
Hut protectionists will not gratify
enemy by frittering away t'me on the
details of tariff revision. It would
please free-traders to attempt to create
discord, no doubt, but they must supply
their own ammunition. All "revenue
reformers" and the like are united In
their purpose to overthrow protection
as the national policy The Evening
Post, for instance, predicted that the
condition of the duty on wool would
undermine the entire protective system.
But woolen manufacturers continue to
be stronger protectionists than ever.
They know that the protective policy
benefits the whole country and, as pa-
triotic citizens, they uphold it. Pro-
| tective tariff revision will not agitato
the minds of business men of all par-
ties." It Is only when fools and free
traders tinker that the whole country
justly feels alarmed.

SPRING WHEAT AND CORN

Chicago, Aug. 8.—The following
will appear in this week's Farmers
Review: "The states that grow large
quantities of spring wheat have excel-
lent prospects for a large crop of that
cereal. Iowa counties mostly have
excellent conditions, and some loc&li

In Minnesota prospects are still for au
immense crop. In the Dakotas the
outlook is for a large crop.
"The corn crop will be immense. In
Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Michigan
the general prospects are for immense
yields. Missouri conditions are very
favorable. Kansas will have a bi^
crop. In Nebraska there has been some
injury by dry weather. Iowa reports
prospects still very good for a very
large yield. Wisconsin will have a

PEACE DECLARED.
Whit* Miners of Spring; Valley F «s Con-
dilatory Resolutions.
SrRlNO Vat.lev, 111., Aug. 8.—State
troops, for the present at least, will
not be ordered to this turbulent town.
Peace has been declared. This was
brought about through the efforts of
Colonel Hugh E. Hayle, assistant ad-
jutant general, sent here by Governor
Altgeld.
At a mass meeting of miners the fol-
lowing resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, a race conflict has taken
place in this city within the last few
days, resulting in no loss of life, but
in serious hardship and inconvenience .
to a considerable section of this com-
munity.
Resolved, That we, tho miners of
Spring Valley, in mass meeting as-
sembled, declare it to be our belief
that all men, regardless of race, color
or creed, are born with th° same equal
right and should enjoy t.ie Fame op-
portunities in tho pursuit of life and
happiness.
Kesolved, That we are ready now to
resume work, providing the Spring
Valley Coal company is ready to start
their mines.
Manager Da 1 /.ell will take back all
the miners who had quit work save
those who committed crimes.
Notwithstanding tho miners' resolu-
tion, it is generally believed that if
the negroes return to work there will
bo trouble.

ful use of electricity as n motive pow-
er on steam roads has led the Baldwin
Locomotive works and tho Westing-
bouse Kleotric and Mikiiufacturing
company to effect a combination by
which they will hereafter work to-
gether in the development of tho ap-
paratus for the operation of railroads
by electricity. It is expected that the
union of these t wo companies will re-
sult in the early introduction of im-
proved forms of electric motors for
standard railroads.
