THE ROBBERY OF TUB MANY.
We hardly think that the American
pcopl realize the true meaning of that
portion of the Democratic platform of
1S92 which denounces "Republican pro-
tectlon as a fraud, a robbery of the
great majority of the American people
for the benefit of the few."
To rob the great majority of the Amer-
Iran people for the benefit of the few Is
tho true free trade policy. This has
been bitterly experienced In free trade
England, where the musec of the people
labor and toll at starvation wages for
thv foeneflt of the few monopolists.
'.. That It is the Intention of the free
traders in tails country to inaugurate
precisely a similar conditio of affairs
' , inong our own people has, time and
again, been made clear. It was only last
March that Editor Codkln of the Free
Trade Evening Post clamored for free
lumber, free glass, free hardware, free
varnish, free glue and free materials of
every kind that are used by the manufac
turers of furniture. We then pointed out
that the number of persons engaged In
the production of glass, glue, lumber and
vainlth, without including the hardware
people, Tva 466,648; that the free traders
would rot all these Americans of he op
portunity of earning a livelihood in order
to enrich and "benefit the comparatively
few persons who are engaged in the man
ufacture of furniture, In which business
there are 'but 6,633 factories.
Further experience of the free trade
policy of robbing the many for the bene
fit of the few ha.i been shown In connec
tion with the tariff on wool. It Was Mr.
drover Cleveland who pointed out that
the 'bulk of the wool growers of tht
Vnlted States have small flocks of from
twenty-five to fifty sheep to each farmer.
There are about 100,000 farmers engaged
In wool growing, tout the free trade
policy is to rob these many producers in
order to enrich the few manufacturers of
woolen and worsted goods, numbering
only 1,700 different concerns.'.
Free traders are willing to rob halt a
million people of work In order to provide
"free" material for less than 8,000 fur
nllure factories. The free trader are
willing to sacrifice 100,000 farmer In or
der to beni-.1t lies than a couple of
thousand manufacturers of woolen and
worsted goods. Tlioy will do the same
wltOi the hundreds of thousands of men
who work In producing livn ore, so as
Vto benefit the comparatively few manu
facturers of Iron and Bleed products.
The republic jii system of protection
has always been Intended to Include all
cur people, and to like recognition of the
humblBit wage earner as well ns of the
wealthiest manufacturer. This species
of protection is denounced by the 'free
traders sva. fraud, llut their system
, of protection would rob half a million
(workers tor the, benefit of lew than 6,000
furniture factories; would rob 100,000
"hcp. farmers for the- benefit of 1,700
r -woolen - mawufarturvrft, ami would rob
hundreds of thousand of workers in our
' Iron' mini's for the benefit of a eompara
- tlvoly few owners- of Iron mills.
. The people can' answer for themselves
which of these two systems Is "a robbery
of the great majority of American people
for the benefit of the few," and which
system is "the culminating atrocity of
class legislation,"
Ineldontally, It should be remwmbcred
that the Injury wrought to our half mil
lion -pc'3p'. who supply what Is the raw
material of furniture manufacturers, the
Injury wrought to the hundred thousand
sheep owners and the injury wrought to
the workers In -our mines, would very di
rectly benefit the worker In tho Iron
mines In England and the sheep In Aus
tralia and the English Industrie that
supply glass, glue, varnish and hard
ware for furniture factories.
Of all tho Cegacles left by the latJ Pop
ullvj government of Kanwa, the mo.-agage
relemiMon law I prhnjs the most de
plorable. It has Impaired the credit ot
the state; It has frightened capital so
that It no longer seeks investment there
la large sums; It has given every honest
man of moderate surplus- a, scare that
prevents "him from lending una money
t a i-rasorLalie Interest, and It haB
n"bcve aT. s'haken the confidence of cltl
sena In the Isaeredness of contricts.
Everybody knows I'hut the legislature
did not go so far as It 'wotil'l have gone,
following Its jioMey of repudiation, had
It not been restrained by fear of the su
preme court. The mortgage redemption
law extended the time In which mort
U.x.ua mirh't be redeemed. The flrat prop
osition was to permit the mortgagor to
pay less t!ian the sum borrowed. T'.ie

The New York Evening J'ost contends
strongly and ably that bosses have not
been aKe to control national conventions
very muchi In recent years. It shows
that ,Quay and Piatt were determined to
defeat Harrison's renominatlon In 1892,
but could not do It. It was the plan ot
bosses to secure Gen grant's nomination
for a ithird term, but they failed. Tam
many HaT.1 couldn't prevent Tilden's nom
ination In 1876, Cleveland's In 1881, and
aided by Hill, Cleveland's In 1892. The
delegates of the two parties, or rather
flhe friends of the different candidates,
make all the capital they can against
a candidate who relies too .much upon
the manipulation of omo bosa. Further
more, representatives of special Interest,
when these t!tand apart from the public
Interests, cannot do a candidate better
service than not to Jet the fact be
known. Comnodore Vanderbilt's friend
ship for William H. Seward was forci
bly used by Horace Oreely at Chicago in
1800 to .prejudice delegates against the
corporation Influence that would rule
the party tf Seward were nominated and
elected.
Tho Wllnon law does not uffonl suffi
cient protection to the domeftlc woolen
manufacturer. This faot was apparent
during the fall seacon, and It has been
made Indisputable during the present
spring season. When the Importer can
obtain fully C5 per centum' of the or
ders p'.ttced on worsted goods by the
manufacturing clothiers it is indisputa
ble that something Is radically wrong
with the tariff laws that the domestic
manufacturer does not receive the need
ed protection. It little matters whether
he la defrauded of it by an absurd sys
tem of duties which permits of grown
frauJs, or whether the prescribed duty
inefficient in Hscilf, the fact remains
hat so far as Protection goes the ex
isting law does not provide It.
Mr. Cleveland In refusing to pardon a
young man takes occasion to express
ilmsalf forcibly agalnsit the practice of
carrying concealed weapon. This Is sup

vicinity of Senator HIH's fifth rib.

FRHE SILVER NO REMEDY.
The people of the United States are
running behind in their business with
foreigners ful'ly 200 mll.lon dollars per
year. The 'American value of tho goods
we Import from other countries, added
to the amount! expended by Americans
in foreign travel and owing by them In
the rfvape of interest and dividends to
foreign money lenders and Investors, ex
ceeds by more than 200 millions per year
the export value of our produce and oth
er menehandise that Is shipped abrou.t.
The difference Is much greater than the
total value of fhe annual output from our
gold and el-.ver mines, so thut If we were
to Whip out the whole of thut product
there would t'tll'l be a deficiency to be
met In vom'e other way. The situation i.-i
a 'grave ono. How thai', tho disadvan
tage bo remedied?
It Is Idle to suppose that the case would
bo Improved by the adoption of free
eolnago at a 10 to 1 ratio, as proposed
"by the sllverltes, with the Inevitably re
siilttng silver monometallism and a no
per cent reduced value of lha currency
unit, That would not enablo us to pay
the foreign difference of trade on any
-more favor-uble terms. The foreign bul
anco wouij Mien have to be paid with
our silver money and at the Intrinsic
value of the cheap mot-al, for the foreign
era could not be Induced to take It at uny
other than Its commercial value per
ounce. Instead of 2IW millions In go d
money we chould have to pay 400 millions
In ellver do'.Oars, earh worth 50 cent"
ind probably Ivss, etneo the offering of
so much extra silver on the markets
of the would natural'ly would reduce
the prices Which, London dca'.-era would
be willing to pay for It. The si ver
product of the United States, like that
of Mexico, would 1)0 taken only It Its
commercial 'bullion va'ue abroad and no
more.
Hence our fllver miners would obtain
no ailv.vnlage frojn the change from the
go'.'J to tho silver standard. They now
aro gi ttlnn tho world's price for their
bullion. They would get not more than
that undir silver monomctal'.bvn In thl'
country. Hut rlio peopl'i would suffer
'"-emenlnisly by the change of standard.
Tho geld would disappear at once, re
fusing to clreuute by the aide of (he
vastly overvalued silver eolr.s, und ther
tho 3llvt.- ltst'lf wou'd have to bo ex
ported at Its real value to pay foreign
balareea -of tra le just like Mexico Tlvre
would ba no pon-lbliltv of relief by lc
sale of our bonds and other securities
abroad, because tho foreigner would
not want to buy with their American
src' J securities to be redeemed only In the
debased silver, which they esivein poorly
In comparison with gold. The silver
would bo ro scarce he:e, owing to the
fact tr-at eacih "dolCar" of the reduced
quantity of money would do but halt
the work of the dollar of today, that
very s-ion tliere won! i bo n howl for re
lief by the yuo of fiat p..per "money"
on the Jlan proposed by the Populists.
This tra.-'lt would drive out the remain
ing Ivor, ns -silver monometallism would
nrevlou'ly drive out the gold, and a cou
ple cf years or so, at t'ae present rate
of Irrporu In proportion to exports,
wou'd leave the peeplo of the United
States with no better currency than a
macs of Irredeemable tra.ih called "paper
money." The experience of other na
tions with til! kind of flat stud Indicates
that t on AdutIohus would not be willing
to ev'.i llielr la'hor for It, and It would be
foolish to suppose they could palm it oft
on thJ foreigners for the payment of In
di"jte.lnena or III the purchase of freh
lots of gaods.

,.Jt do?9 not appcar that the Democratic
P1rty has made successful war on any-
thine except the American heep. Of
those It has slaughtered about S.OdO.OOO
already, or more than a s'xth. In re
cent comment on tho statement of Mr.
Justice about prices of -wool, It was ob
served that the domestic production had
been greatly reduced. There U now
published the olllclal estimate of the Na
tional Aruoclallon of Wool Manufactur
ers, which has been regarded for years
ptst a. the most trustworthy, ttiowlng
the production or woo; mis year. rrne
weight per fleece has only slightly di
minished, 'but the slaughter of sheep has
reduced the yield about 54,000,000 pounds
in two years.' Practically, these- two
years of Democracy have set this in
dustry back where It was fourteen years
ago. For the estimated production this
year, 2M,2?6,72G pounds, is little larger
than that of 18S1, when it was 290,000,0000
pound.-i, ami the destruction of sheep
since April 1 l.an undoubtedly lowered
the productive c.aclty considerably
further. The Agricultural Department
reports 39,949,388 sheep April 1, against
47,273,053 January 1, 1893, and the slaugh
tering at the few Western cities which
kefp records thereof has heen remark
ably heavy within the last five months.
Tho association reckons the annual sup
ply by adding Imports for the year end
ing June 30, 1S95, to the quantity of wool
purchased this year, and the quantity
in ibonded warehouse June 30, 189 1. This
mode of reckoning shows a supply of
60,363,430 pounds, against 555,451,702 In the
year 1893. But it to a mode open to criti
cism, since the Imports for the subse
quent .fiscal year would more nearly
eolnclda in time of consumption with the
consumption of the domestic crop of
1895. Most of the wool Imported In the
first half of the fiscal year ending with
Juno had already been consumed by
the Ht of January, and the imports In
the months of May and June, 3inee the
new clip came in, were about 20,000,000
pounds per month, and appear to be
continuing at about too same rat.?. It
Id this constant new supply, and not
tho quantity brought over from previous
years, which makes it so improbable
that even the present low price of domes
tic wool can be maintained without still
greater slaughter of sheep. The supply
as stated by the association l largely
In excess of tho actual consumption In
the manufacture during any past year,
and no one Imagines that this year all
the woolen works have been or are now
operated to their full capacity.
The bottom fact of the whole business
Is one which nobody will seriously dis
pute, namely, that the people In this
country, In the present condition of their
Industry and with their present wages,
do not take into consumption so large
a quantity of woolon goods of all kinds,
domestic and Imported, as they did In
mere prosperous years, It Is true that
purchases were very heavy for a time,
v.l.en recovery of business encouraged
dealers everywhere to replenish stocks,
and consumers to make up In part for
tho purchases deferred during about two
years of economy. But that was not a
permanent condition cf things, nor have
sagacious men expected it to toe. If, then.
we do not take Into consumption so great
a quantity of goods, both foreign and
domestic, as In former prosperous years,
and import a much larger quantity, It
necessarily follows that the quantity of
goods taken Into consumption must be
smaller, and hence the mills cannot con
sume, except for a short time, so large
a quantity of wool as they formerly con
sumed. But If of tho diminished quan
tlty consumed a much larger proportion
I foreign, the shrinkage In demand for
domestic wool must be .serious.
The ceiiKUs showed that the consump
tion of woolen and worsted cloth from
domestic mills was about M2,000,000 yards
In the census year, and there were also
add'od about 16,000,00 pounds foreign cloth
The i consumption was greater In 1S92,
though snf.1r of foreign, but the figures
for the cenwus year will serve to lllua
trate the position, amounting for six
months to 68.000,000 yards and 8,000 000
pounds. In six months of 1895 there
'ravo been Imported und taken from
warehouse 20,570,629 pounds foreign cloths,
or 12,Oi)0,OUO pounds more than the ha'f
year's consumption, reducing by a quar
ter the quantity of American goods re
quired. This stite of things continuing
the quantity of wool required for the
manufacture of such cloth' would of
necessity ba reduced about a quarter.
But of the wool taken Into consumption,
as reporl-i of sales show, tho quantity
of foreign Is fully 40 per cent larger than
In former prosperous year., since -May
1st 50.8,6,2j; pounds having been sold
against 43,743,400 In 1802. If liiKte-ad ot
56,000,000 yards the works' produce 42,
000,000, and of tho smaller quantity of
wool required they use 40 per cent more
rorelgn than In former years, It Is easy
to iseo how the demand for domestic wool
ni!'.--t he reduced. If successful In noth
ing else, the Democrats have at least
'Succeeded remarka'oly in their war
against" the wool growers.
