A VOICE FROM T&E PAST.
All the Democratic editorials written
between now and next November can-
, not convince the American people that
' the enactment of a protective policy,
similar in purpose, if not degree, o that
which bears the name of McKinley, is
not the need of the hour. , The past
toree years have produced facts more
eloquent than all the arguments of Dem
ocratic orators, to whom thn task nf t.
casing their party's policy is a difficult
one.
The United States, after passing
through a fearful conflict, when its re
sources were drained to their utmost,
saw the period of its greatest prosperity
from 1865 to 1892. During those years
the increase of wealth in this ccuntrv-
Vas greater by many millions than the
combined wealth of Great Britain.
Under the beneficent workings of a pro
tective system this country was able to
N repair the damages the civil war had
caused, to gather its shattered finances
and place them upon a basis that made
the country's credit unquestioned
throughout the world. The industries
that had been stopped because oi the
war were revived ; avenues of employ
ment opened (or labor, and the country
. began a new era of development, which
closet! with the election of 1892.
The disastrous results which followed
that event are too painfully impressed
upon the people to need emphasis. The
greatest financial panic, with consequent
stagnation of busiuese, the country had
ever experienced followed Cleveland's
election. The commercial life of the
country reached such a low ebb that im
provement or collapse must come, and
with the prospect of Republican success
in 66 times have taken a turn for the
better, though, after all, the improve
ment is slight.
In view of the knowledge which the
American people have learned since
1892. it ia interesting to not. a thn
of Abraham Lincoln, expressed in 1843,
upon this same question. His remarks
at that time showed how clearly he read
the future. ' At a Whig meeting in
Springfield Mr. Lincoln , was appointed
to prepare an "Address to the People of
the . State," and commenting upon his
work, he said :
The first of our resolutions declares a
tariff of duties upon foreign importa
tions, .producing sufficient revenues for
the -support of the general government,
and so adjusted as to protect American
industry, to be indispensably necessary
to the prosperity of the American peo
ple; and the second declares direct tax
ation for a national revenue to be im
proper. .'
For several years past the" revenues of
the government have been unequal to
it. ArnpniliflirDa an.l mnaonnantla lnan
alter loan, sometimes direct and some
times indirect in form, has been resort
ed to. ' By this means a new national
debt has been created, and is still grow
ing on us with a rapidity fearful to con
template a rapidity only to be reason
ably expected in time'of war. This
etato of things has been produced bv a
prevailing unwillingness either to 'in
crease the tariff or to resort to direct
taxation. But the one or the other
mast come. Coming expenditures must
bs met, and the present debt must te
paid; and money cannot always be bor
rowed for these objects. The system of
loans is but temporary in it? nature,
and must soon explode. " It is a system
not only, ruinous while it lasts, but one
that must soon fail and leave us desti
tute.. As an individual who undertakes
to live by borrowing soon finds his ori
ginal . means devoured by interest, and
next, no one "left to borrow from, so iff
must be with the government.
The words' of Lincoln aptly describe
the situation today. The government
has borrowed millions of dollars during
the present administration, and the end
is not yet. The country is pursuing a
ruinous policy, which, if unchecked, can
lead but to bankruptcy.
The people will have an opportunity
next November to repent of their mis
take fout years -ago, and the words of
VLincoln are a solemn admonition as-to
how thev should act.
There can be no question but that the
people of Ohio are in earnest about Mc
Kinley 'a candidacy. The enthusiasm
his name occasioned during the state
convention showed- how strong is bis
bold both upon the people and the poli
ticians. But itrien't always the man for
whom the most noise is made that wits
the race, as the repeated defeats of
James G. Blaiqe declare. The McKin
ley boom is in good condition, but his
friends should take care it is not worked
too assiduously. It may wear itself out
before the convention next June.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that iB Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a consti
tutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the foun
dation of the . disease, and giving the
patient Btrength by building up the con
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers, that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any' case
that it fails lo cure. Send for list of
