Owing to recent changea In freight

are only II cents higher than the rail

ons of the country

there bod been such a disturbance of
International relations as ti
which have led up to the outbreak
of the war with Spain. With
country wholly unprepared, either fi-
nancially or physically, tor such
crises, with our navy but little better
than that of a fifth-rate power, with
the government of Oreat Britain none
too friendly, though her monufacturers
were prospering through the deotruc-
tlon of one of our principal Industries,
by reason of the free trade tariff,
with an entire aboence of harmony
between the executive and the legis-
lative branches of the government any
effort which we might have made to
bring abodt even the slightest amelio-
ration of the condition of the Cubena
abandonment of the barbarous
treatment of the reconcentrados would
doubtless have been Indignantly
ted and probably forcibly reelsted
by 8peln. Unquestionably there would
have followed most destructive pan-
icky conditions Intensified by tbo ab-
sence of confidence by the people In
the ability of the administration suc-
cessfully to meet the emergency. It Is
quite conceivable that this disturbance
wopld have caused a most humlllat
Ing back-down on the part of our gov
ernment, or at least an abandonment
by ua of further efforta to Interfere
with Speln In her conduct of military
operations In Cuba.
Preeldent McKlnley had a well-de-
fined financial, revenue and interna-
tional policy at the outset of bio ad-
ministration. His election at once re-
stored confidence. The directness with
which he carried out his plan for the
Inauguration of a protective tariff
stimulated buslnees and industrial en
terprlses. The congress and the peo-
ple aotlvely seconded hia efforts and
hermonloua relations were establiahed
between the executive and the legis-
lative branches of the government His
treatment of the Cuban question was
marked by firmness and moderation
and his insistence, from time to time,
that Spain should more humanely con
duct the conteet in Cuba resulted in
material modification of the rigors of
the conflict.
When the "Maine" incident occurred
the resulting panicky feeling was
quickly allayed by the aesurance which
the country had that the admlnietra-
tlon was fully competent and that it
could be implicitly trusted to meet any
emergency, however grave, that might
arise. Confidence was felt in the effi-
cacy of the measures which were taken
by the president to prepare for any
poeetble crisis, and when the time
came for vigorous action the presi-
dent's request for an extraordinary ap-
propriation for war purpoeea waa
promptly and unanimously acceded to.

absolute control of the executive.
When preparations for war active-
ly began and when each step distinctly
foreshadowed the outcome of war un-
ices Spain yielded to our demand, there
waa no panic, nor the least expression
of apprehension, no retirement of capi-
tal Into hoards, no material distur-
bance of the market for money, and.
with the exception of snsrls by free
trade advocates, no unfortunate criti-
cisms of the administration.
To the results of the protective tariff
we are very largely Indebted for this
splendid exhibition of confidence.
Though encountering almost Insur-
mountable obetacles, the Dtngley tariff
demonstrated Its efficiency as a reven-
ue producer. It stimulated business
and industrial enterprises. It aided
in the restoration of the gold reserve
of the treasury by silencing the dis-
turbing rattle of the "endless chain."
It gave assurance that when normal
conditions shall be resumed, the era
of prosperity will return, snd through
lta direct and Indirect Influence it has
made it possible for the country to
prepere for and to meet the crisis of a

Dingley tariff went Into effect i
In the changing aentlment of moon-
facturera who were formerly the a
rabid protectionleta."
Thla would be Important If true. If
It were true that protection's ranhe
are being decimated and that manu-
facturers were hoping for a return
of the Cleveland-Wilson free trade
regime, the road to victory tor the
Democratic party In 1900 would be a
straight and eaay one. In that caae
all that would be neceasary would be
a simple platform of tariff for revenue
only, with protection denounced as n
robbery and a fraud, and the light
would bo won.
If the free tradera are so positive
aa to the changing sentiment on the
subject of the tariff, they should lose
no time In sidetracking the currency
question and In simplifying the Issue
in the manner wo have sugested. But
will they do It It? Will they invite the
attention of the country and point
with pride to the achievements of the
Wlleon-Gorman low tariff and no tar-
iff tn the bringing about of a period
of depreaalon and stringency such aa
the country never before had experi-
enced? Probably not. This Is the view
taken by the Waahlngton Post, which

Btatee to really quite

ments of the free coinage combination
hope for success next time, and they
will keep silver right at the front. And
the Democratic contingent of that
greet aggregation will not put any-
thing into the platform that will repel
protectionists.
"There Is not much life left In the
old issue of 'tariff for revenue only.'
What good came to the Democratic
party or to the country from a
Democratic triumph on that laaue in
1892? After the experience of the Dem
ocrata with Mr. Cleveland, the apoatle
of tariff reform, they have no atom
ach for another light on hia llnee."
Oo Good aa It CaeO to Bo
Aa I'neqaaled Record.
For the nine months ending with
March, 1898, the difference between the
Importation and exportation of mer-
chandise by the United States amount-
ed to $470,961,693, that sum being the
exceea of what we aold over what we
bought. No other country haa made
or can make a record to equal this.
The reason Is to be found In tbe fact
that no other country has an equal dl
verslty of climate, soil, Industries,
products and resources, and hence no
other country Is or could be benefited
In an equal degree by the policy
protection.
Should Bo Lot Alone,
Interference with the present tariff
laws would be both unjust and 1m
politic. Theee laws have a double pur.
poee, that of revenue and protection
to American Industries. They are ac-
compllahing their work to the very
fullest extent, and to attempt to force
further revenue through them would
manifestly be unjust to other nations
snd, therefore. Impolitic.—8t. Louis

Don't think every solid man you meet
to a hard character.
for the foot that England to cootlne-
ally advtolag the Uaited States to die-
card Ito protective tariff aa a mesas
of conquering the trade of the world,
whoa, if tbto advice were to be fol-
lowed aad thla result should
Oreat Britain would, I
bo plunged Into Irretrievable
ruptcy through the lose of the mar-
koto thus gained by the United Stntae.
It to difficult to sscepe one of two
conclusions, stther that England to
throbbing with desire to sacrifice all
her material Intereeto for tbe benefit of
tbo United Btatee, or else that there
to a mistake somewhere In tbe calcula-
tion that by the abolition of her tariff
America would monopollie the world's
markets.
Some years ago an Amerlcon consul
namsd Schoenhoff, serving under tbe
free trade administration of President
Cleveland, wu at greet pains to col-
lect figures showing that the percent-
age of labor cost in manufactures wu
lower tn the United Btatee than In any
foreign country. This being the case,
It should follow, according to the Cob-
denlte doctrine, that upon a free trade
no nation could poeslbly com-
pete with us in manufactures.
But, somehow, it didn't follow at all
Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Wilson tried It
in 1894, by lowering the tariff down to
somewhere near Engliah Ideas and by
reducing the wagea of American work
people.
What happened then? Did tbe Unit-
ed States promptly proceed to capture
the trade of all creation? By no meane.
What actually did happen was that
tbe United States promptly proceeded
to lose tbe biggest part of ber home
market, and for nearly four years a
condition of ruin and depression be-
yond anything ever before known In
this country prevailed. Porelgn*manu-
facturers flooded our markets with
their products, and a large portion
of our own mills and factories wsro
compelled to suspend operations. The
fact that our percentage of labor cost
waa lower than that of Europe did not
prevent the rapid lncreaae of foreign
Imports Into the United States.
It would therefore appear that Eng-
land's overpowering desire to see pro-
tection abolished in America wu not
altogether diaintereeted, for the period
of Great Britaln'a greateat proeperity
in all her history waa the period of
the Wilson low tariff and no-tariff. It
la also a fact that the greatest depres-
sion Eng*?nd has ever known In some
lines of manufacture has occurred
since the restoration of protective
rates of duty under the Dingley law.
Today, aa the direct result of refus-
ing to follow British advice, the Unit-
ed Statee has not only recaptured from
foreign hands her own great -home
market, but haa extended her trade
throughout the world to an extent and
at a rate which far surpasses all pre-
vious records of this or any other
country.
Foreign advisers have, however,
been of incalculable benefit to the peo-
ple of our country in one way—exactly
the same way that the lives of mllllone
of human beings have been saved by
pins and needles, by not swallowing
them!
As It Should Be.
In the Glasgow "Herald" of April
11 la given the statement of exporta
from the consular districts of Dun-
dee to the United Statea for the quar-
ter ended March 81. The total value
wu $1,408,811, agalnet $2,734,006 for
the corresponding quarter ended In
1897, a falling off of $1,830,196. Linens,
burlaps and paddings are our prlnci
pal purchues from Dundee, the larg-
est item being burlaps, amounting to
$723,236 for the first quarter of 1898.
The fact that the exporta from Dun-
dee for this quarter were $600,000 less
than for the corresponding quarter in
1896 ahowa that the decrease in 1898
was not altogether due to heavy pur-
chases in anticipation of the Dingley
tariff, and would seem to Indicate that
articles of domestic production are to
some extent being used In place of
goods formerly imported. This to
It should be.
Happy rorai en.
All conditions combine to make
Wuhington farmera' lot a happy one,
and when Is addod the prosperous con-
dition of our workingmsn, merchants
and lumbermen, tbe contrast with two
years ago Is most marbed and satis-
factory.—Tacoma Ledger.
