SlISI.KAHIMi. The Ortgortian despises "figgers" when they tell their inevitable, unvarnished tale of (act against that scheme known as protectionism by whhh the many are robbed to enrich the few plutocratic nabobs of the country. Every ti-ne a protectionist uses "Aggers", (as our co temporary does some times.) they turn their potentiality against him every time. Th, Orefoman tells us that "it will surprise most persons to learn that the McKinley tariff law which was denounced as a Chinese wall builder a blow at foreign trade, and an influence tend' ing to check importations from abroad has so atimulated foreign trade that the Imports into the United States for the first six months after it want into effect were nearly $20,000,000 morethan for the corresponding six months of the previous year." From this text it preaches a sermon to show that "the McKialey bill has served the double purpose of stimulating for eign trade and protecting American Industry.1 Just how an American Industry can be pro tected by stimulating the importation of the foreign product of that industry, the O'egonia very prudently omits any attempt to explain Trie Orrronian. knows.Cbut it has sot the . ordinary fairness to say so.) thar the protec tion theory is based on the idea of restricting importation. Any legislation that results in the increase in Importation of loreign goods of like character with those upon which we have placed a duty lor the purpose of protection, is subversive of the scheme of protection. But, notwithstanding there has been quite an in crease in importations during the six months following the passage of the McKinley bill over that of the corresponding six months of the previous year, this increase has been wholly an increase in importation of goods that are on the free list. But the Ortmian in it xeal to make a point fur the already damned MrKin ley bill resorts to the woist kind of deception to make it that of falsifying the facts'in the case. That paper submits the following tible showing the imports for the months of October November, December, January, February and March following the passage of the McKinley bill, and the corresponding months of the year previous; 1S90-91. 1SS9-90. October $ 72,550,270 8 6S.794.155 November 64,199,789 58,994,784 December 60,801,905 59,898,414 January 62,300,724 63,222,932 February 65,626,777 63.258,991 March, N. Y . . . . 48,282,379 41,871,134 The opinion Is expressed that Mr Clcve land, when he wrote his famous letter.hnd the question of party poli:v In mind as much as he had the ubtui:l question of coinage of silver, and that even if he had been personally favorablejto thsfree coin age of silver as an ultimate result he would have earnestly advised again it any com mlttal of the party to a free coinage policy so long as a division on that question threatened a division of the party and en dangered Us chance of ever being In a position to handle that or any other ques tion successfully . Entirely aside from his convictions on the silver question he I said to be opposed to running the risk of a part division on any question of policy until it lias made the fight to a finish on the tariff Issue in which he expects his party to win. Hav ing gone Into power, so that what it might do one way or the other would be of some consequence, then, it Is said, lie believes It would be time enough to decide upon new Issues and to try to'puta future policy Into effect. Man of those who are In perfect s) m- pathy with Mr Cleveland In all matters aside from the financial question believe that It would be very unwise to divide the party, and probably defeat it, by loading It all at once with more than It can carry, for if It keep. Itself permanently out of power by sentimental politics it will not be In position to secure free coinage or anything else Its leaders mav have their hearts on. It Is believed that Mr Cleveland would have worded his silver letter differently if he had had the oportunity a few hours af ter he sent It to the Reform club, but that he would have expressed substantial! the same sentiments, and that If he were placed In the same position today he would occupy the same attitude, and that he will occupy the same attitude until the condl tlons are such as to wnrant the belief that free coinage of silver would be safe Whether these conditions wi'l come about between now and 1S92 or 1S94 Is a thing which time alone can answer.

All varieties of styles and patterns to please the most fastidious. Wo have many fine makes including JfEW ADVERTISEMENTS Total S374.o6'.853 355.995-3to From this it will be seen that there has been an increase of imports in the six months since the passage of the new tariff law over the same months of the previous year under the old law of $18,066,443. It also gives the following table showing the proportion of dutiable and free list goods imported during the two periods above named; 1893-91. 18S9-90. Free imports 8152,470,502 8125,876,092 Dutiable imports 221,591,351 130.119,318 Total 8374.061,852 8355.99S.410 From this it will be seen that the gain in in importations was entirely in the free list and not in the dutiabielist. This stimulation of foreign trade, then, is the result of the nat ural increase in business aud the great law of supply and demand. The Ottgonian is simplv"kicking agains the pricks" in attempt ing to stop the tide of public sentiment against the waning cause of protectionism. CLEVELAND'S SILVER VIEWS. The opinion Is expressed by some who think they understand Mr Cleveland's at titude with relation to his party and the silver question that the trouble with the second-hand interview on the subject, which has been published and In part re pudiated, lies chiefly in the form of ex pression. It Is well known by all of Mr Cleveland's Intimates that he prides him self upon his frankness and entire free dom from any disposition to "trim" for political advantage; he would rather be bold than appear politic. lie would rather be misundertood than to run the risk of appearing timid in an explanation. It is believed that Mr Cleveland's atti tude on the silver question was very near ly described In the New York Interview with Mr Stephens, but that Mr Cleveland in giving utterance to substantially the same ideas would so express himself as to give no room for the suspicion that he was trying to placate those who had been of fended by his former declarations. A few days ago Representative Tracy gave an interview, In which he said: "He (Mr Cleveland) has decided convictions In opposition to trying the experiment of free coinage at present, and it Is better that he frankly make them known when circumstances are calling for a statement of his views." On reading this Interview Mr Cleveland wrote to Mr Tracy, stating that the Inter view correctly represented his attitude. Democratic politicians who believe that Mr Cleveland Is going to be the party nominee and that his utterances on the silver question are not going to hurt him In the least, declare the belief that if time should prove that tree coinage were desir able, Cleveland, being president, would not veto a f ree-co!nage bill . They do not for a mcmer.t pretend to doubt the slnccr ity of Mr Cleveland's opposition to free coinage at this time, nor that h! opposi tion would continue the same if the con ditions remained the same, but they think that If, as they believe will be the casc.the strength and stability of silver as money metal should be demonstrated within the next two or three years Mr Cleveland would be free to recognize the fact.
