PANIC AND NO PANIC
TRUE CAUSE OF THE DISASTER
OF 1893-1897.
Although Subjected to Far Greater
Strain in the Pait Two Months,
Business and Industry Have Been
Upheld by Protection Prosperity.
ltehashini; a puerile argument long
since discredited and dropped by fair-
minded people, the Washington Post
wash's Us editorial space in reminding
Senator Foraker that:
"The panic of 1893 came on almost
a year before the Democratic tariff of
1894—the only Democratic tariff fchich
the generation known anything about
—was enacted. And, of course, he
known that Democratic tariff was high-
ly protective. It was, in fact, a stimu-
lus to our industries, If we may judge
from Its effects, lender its operations
there was a very considerable revival
of business—a great Improvement
over the paralysis that came on In
1893 under the McKlnley tariff of
189«."
Every person In this country who in
1893 was directly or indirectly con-
nected with productive enterprises af-
fected by foreign competition—and
every other person of fair Intelligence,
too, for that matter—knows perfectly
well that the terrible panic of that
year was brought on almost entirely
by the election of a free trade admin-
istration supported by free trade ma-
jorities In both Houses of Congress.
The absolute certainty that Qrover
Cleveland would recommend, and that
Congress would enact the repeal of
the McKlnley protective tariff and
bring In a tariff framed on free trade
or tarlff-for-revenue lines, had more to
do than all other causes combined
with precipitating the tremendous in-
dustrial and tlnanclal crash of 1893.
While the threat was not put Into
execution until eighteen months after
the Inauguration of Cleveland, and
while it Is trui' that the Wllson-Gor-
MAINE DOES NOT WANT IT.
Strong Opposition to the Canadian
Reciprocity Scheme.
There are few men in Maine who
are better qualified to speak on the
subject of reciprocity with Canr.da
than Hon. William Kngel of UanKor,
a man who knows w hat Canadian com-
petition means, who Is familiar with
the points at Issue between the two
countries, and who knows the condi-
tion of the workingnien on both sides
of the line. Therefore, his remarks
before the Maine Hoard of Trade at
Ulddeford were full of interest. With-
out laying any claim to represent any-
body except himself, Mr. Kngel said he
believed that the reciprocity which
Canada sought with this country and
which the free traders advocated
would be of infinite harm to the in-
dustries of Maine, and particularly so
to those of Kastcrn Maine. Free lum
ber from Canada, Mr. Engel said
would mean running our mills at a
loss and an early closing of any at-
tempt to manufacture lumber or to
make pulp. It would mean that our
farmers must sell their oats, potatoes,
beef, eggs, hay and poultry much
cheaper than they do now. It would
mean more abandoned farms, more
boys and girls going away from the
state to find work, more cases of bank-
ruptcy, more poverty, and more de-
cay in every industry and iu every
trade.
Continuing Mr. Engel gave a very
vivid and most truthful picture of the
good times which prevail in Eastern
Maine to day owing to a continuance
of our protective tariff policy. Not
only are all the laboring men who re-
side along the Penoliscot river em-
ployed at good wages but local mill-
men anil manufacturers an- sending
away for new help. In our mills the
men employed at the same kind of
work as those In New Brunswick re-
ceive from 25 to 60 per cent higher
wages. This money not only makes
our citizens more comfortable and
better dressed, but It puts money In
our savings banks and enables our

cal and drastic In its free trade fea-
s than had been feared and ex-
pected, the shock came with the elec-
tion of a president and a congress
pledged to abolish protection The
worst was anticipated, and all Indus-
trial production in any manner de-
pendent upon tariff protection was
•ither checked or wholly paralyzed in
consequence.
The financial element entering into
the causes of the panic of 18Uo was a
minor element. It would have been of
slight ami temiwrary consequence if
industrial production had not suc-
cumbed to the impending adverse ef-
fects of hostile and destructive legis-
lation by a political party committed
to the policy of unrestrained foreign
competition. The financial world has
within the past six years safely with-
stood several shocks of far greater vio-
lence than the shock of too much sil-
ver In the treasury in 1893. In the
past sixty days there have been some
very severe jolts and disturbances nnd
strains which have proved short-lived
and relatively harmless. Why? Sim-
ply and solely because the country
was on a sound, safe footing of indus-
trial productive prosperity—protection
prosperity, in short. Does any one
suppose that under Wilson-Gorman
tariff conditions a shrinkage of over
$500,000,000 in (lie slock values of a
single corporation could have occurred
inside of a fortnight without produc-
ing a panic? Shrinkages amounting
to billions of dollars have lately
squeezed the gas out of a market over-
loaded with Inllated securities, und
yet there has been no panic. Why?
Uecause the country is now doing busi-
ness under DIngley tariff and protec-
tion conditions.

light of indisputable fact and history,

Cobdenism and the Silk Industry.
Hngland was once , the home of a
flourishing silk manufacturing indus-
try, which thrived until protection
was removed. Ever since that event
it has been steadily declining, and now
Its proportions are insignificant. Mean-
while the importation of silk fabrics
Into Great Britain iias attained large
proportions, their value reaching as
high as $711,000,000 In a single year. If
there Is any raw silk now imported
into the United Kingdom the quantity
is tix> small to receive especial men-
tion In the table of imports furnished
by the Statesman's Year Hook. The
avowed object of the Cobdenltes In
killing off the domestic silk Industry
of Great Britain was to make silk
fabrics cheaper by opening the British
markets to foreign competition, but
the figures of consumption show that
this aim was not accomplished. There
is more silk per capita worn to-day In
the United States than in any other
country on the gloho. Its use Is not
confined to any class, the housemaid
as well as her mlsti"hs arraying her-
self in silken fabrics. The develop
Bient of the silk industry In the Unit
nl States under the circumstances
may be set down as one of the great
est triumphs of the protective policy

Diamonds and Duties.
Thirty millions dollars' worth of ilia
■ootids and other precious stones were
imported last year. During the year
1897, our last free trude year, the lm
portatlons were valued at 12,500,000
The duty paid this last year exceeded
$2,000,000, or enough to pay the sala
rles of the entire House of Represen
tatlves. The tariff enables us to wear
diamonds nnd its provisions help Pn
