A CONVERSATION,
Two men meet on the street In Albiny.
One, an elderly map and the other, a young
man. Elderly man observes the young
rnan ha a large, green, beef Udp In Ms
WflSon, Wlien the following cunversEiJon
Occurs:
Old man: "That U a very large Uideyou
have in your wagon."
Young man: "Yei it weight eighty
pounds and told lor only seventy five
cents."
6id man: "Thai's cheap isn't It? What
is the came of its being so cheap?"
Young man: "Oh, its the threatened
tarlS reduction. Thafs what."
OUl man: "Did hidei ever sell for any
fcet'or price, and if so, hen?"
Young man: "Yes, dght or ten years ago
a hMe like this would ell for $5.00. I am
not a high tariff man tut I am In favor of
"protection,"
Old man: ''Young ir.nn, soma Strt has
been deceiving vou. There has been n
duty on hides for the last tvrtfily two years,
and at tile very time when you say that
hides brought such a good price, they -were
then on the free list. Another fact It
would be well for you to bear in mind, and
that is that hides were put on the fret 11 st
in 1872, and by a congress that was republi'
can in both branches, and the bill approved
' by a republican president. If hides are
now low In price because they are on the
free list then republicans only are to blame
for that party put them on the free list.
The young man frankly admitted his ignor
ance In the matter but said he was glad he
had spoken of the matter for he gained
light by so doing.
TIIEBOATKEKS RESOLUTION.
Mr Boatnsr's resolution as to the Union
Padflo Railroad suits looks to action that
Is Imperative'? necessary. It abould be
passed promptly. The Union Pauifio
Railroad baa owed large aunts to the Guv
erntuevt lor a generation past. It bat not
tried to pay. On the contrary. It baa tried
In every possible way to avoid payment.
Its directors and stockholders have la
the mean tiwe r-ivided (27.000,000 of the
Government's money among (hemelye
and spent otber large sums contrary to
law in buying and building otber road.
It is the duty of the Attorney-General to
bring suits for the recovery of this moiey.
But the Attorney-General Is not disposed
to do his duty in any such cast, Mr
Boatner proposes that spclal counsel
shall be engaged to attend to the matter.
Pit retortion will pretty certainly past
the Hoiiii,
But when it guei over to the Senate It
probably fall into the . unfriendly hands of
Calvin L Brice. It is not for nothing and
it Is not by accident that that gambler In
railroad projects is at the bead of tbe Com'
mlltce on Pacific Railroads. Farther, it Is
not In the smallest degree likely that a man
like Brice wjll let slip such an opportunity
to protect railroad combinations in which
he Is reported to hold very Urge speculative
Interests.
So long sa plutocrats are permitted to
buy their way o power, so long will plutoc
racy overrled every popular interest in leg.

TUE OJ1N1VOHOIS WEST.
Thomas B Keed of Maine has said one
t hing on the Issue of the day to which The
Republic can point wi'h pride.
Whether Mr Reed got hit idea from The
Republic we cannot bo sure. At any rate it
was The Republic which first cliimed that
the effect of free trade would be to distrib
ute manufacturers more evenly and to
transplant many great industries to the
South and West under the governing in
fluences of markets and raw material sup
piles. In a speech delivered not long ago a'
Boston, our obese fiiend the enemy from
Maine, eaid: When Massachusetts sits
around to mourn her destroyed Industries,
her ruined machine shops, her ruined in
bustries, she sits around to mourn for eter
nity; for if they arc once destroyed the
omnivorous West will do the manuf tcturlng
for the country. Vou have the start, you
have the power, you have the prestice.
You can keep it or you can throw it away."
Observe the se:tlonalln of this resi
dential candiaate'a protective tariff creed.
"The omnivorous West.' The Wett has
not devoured much of New England yet and
Tom Utcu would keep It from anything tu'.
rnliinc staple exuoit products as lcne as!
possible. Free trade markets lor Western
products and monopoly markets for New
E lglamt factories. That is what ne R?es
I t the McKlnley syste.n.
It It not the low wages of Europe he
points to, hut the hlh wacs and natural
advantages of the West.
"Vou have the start." Under lree trade
the West will manufacture for the country.
Why? Because when ninnn'ac'.uring Is put
on the normal basis of competition the con
solidation cf capital cannot keep tl.o start"
of natural advantages.
If Thomas B Reed gets the Republican
nomination In tS!)6 It will le interesting to
see what Western Republicans say ahout
h!s reasons for being a protectionist. St
