WAR VERSUS POLITICS.
The unusual apathy over parti--an
politics at a time so near a presi
dential election, can only be account
ed for by the intense interest now felt
In every American home over the hor
rors being perpetrated upon our own
people now resident In China. Unless
the Chinese putxle is solved speedily,
and peace, or an approximation to
wards it, is soon restored, the almost
universal Indifference on political ques
tions is likely to result in a falling
off from the Ggures of 1S96, of the votes
cant for the nominees of each party.
What effect, if any, this will have on
the chances of each party for success
is an interesting problem. ,
Since our Democratic friends claim
to be the only true Americans and the
rightful guardians of American liberty,
we may expect that a considerable
number of their voters will be on the
field of action in China, supporting the
endangered Americans in their right
to "life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness." Seriously, however, It Is an Interesting
questlou whether the absence of "3,000
voters from American soil will have
any effect upon the result of the No
vember election. So far as our obsr
vations have gone we do not believe
that the members of one party more
than of another have enlisted for ser
vice either in the Philippines or in
China. We may argue and wrangle
over theoretical questions but, when
it is ccme to the maintenance of our
national honor, we are all Americans.
It may be that our brave boys who
are defending the Stars and Stripes In
the Far East may be afforded an op
portunity to express their preferences
In their camps, as was done during
the civil war.
.Should the administration make ser
ious blunders In the conduct of the
present campaign In China and the di
plomatic negotiations which must arise
from It, which we do not at-all anti
cipate, there would be a serious de
fection from the Republican ranks;
otherwise the same proportion of the
total number of votes which was cast
for McKlnley In 1236 will doubtless be
his in 1900.

PROTECTION PRICES.
American Economist.
One of the arguments most Indus
triously employed by the enemies of
protection Is that which Is bused up
on the contenilon that the policy of
j-reserving the home market for the
benefit of the home producer has In
flicted Injury" upon the people us a
whole through the large Increase In
the cost of living which has Invariably
prevailed during protective tariff per
iods. If It were not tor this line of
argument the American free-trade
would be hard put to It for anything
to urge spainst the economic system
which has brought to the country
much prosperity. Increase of prlc?:
of the necessaries of life has been and
is his ' main reliance. As a matter
of fact there Is no more soundness in
this than In any of the other claims
made by free-traders against the pro
tcctlve policy.
The New Tork Tribune has been at
some pains to look up the facts re
garding prices at different periods un
der Democratic and Republican tariffs.
It find9 that, with the single exoep
tion of lumber, whose price has been
advanced because of the rapid exhaus
tion of the sources of supply, the
range of prices of staple articles of use
'was on June 13, 1900, almost identical
ly the same as on July 1, 1S90, tw
years before the McKlnley tariff wa
enacted. Food products, clothing, met
als and miscellaneous commodities
show an average value In 1900 slightly
lower than In 1S90, in spite of the fac
that since 1S90 two effectively pro
Compared with 1S60, a year of Demo
cratic free-trade, the ratio of prices
shows a very radical decrease. On
rood products the ratio for 1300, as
compared with prices in 1S60, is 73.67
on clothing, 76.44; on metals; 57.73; and
on miscellaneous articles 59.S5. The
only article of use that Is dearer in
1900 than in 1S90 or in 1S60 Is lumber,
and this Increase In price has been
w holly due to increased demand and di
rrdnlshed supply.
The value of this showing is obvious
It clinches the great fact that under
adequate protection the cost of living
has steadily decreased, while the rate
of wages has steadily Increased.
