Cb»raot«rtetlo Free-Trade Contention That the Came _ of Christianity Is Heat Promoted by Human Ueetltntlon and It leery. The Brooklyn Eagle, a Free-Trade but gold standard newspaper, is very certain that The American Protective Tariff League is on the wrong track in its effort to show the extent to which the churdies have shared in the res toration of prosperity through increas ed plate collections. The Eagle says: “Religious revivals follow disasters, and big financial panics make men think of their sins and induce them to turn their thoughts to vhe churches and to give to them more li;ber*IJy J than in their prosperity. Flood and | pestilence are potent influences ip making men think of serious things, A wave of prosperity does not advance the cause of religion. It rather retards it. If our present prosperity is oc casioned by the Dlngley law them the churches might well hope for a return to the Wilson law, with Its alleged de pressing effect on business, and Its consequent direction of the thoughts of men to their souls’ salvation. • • It was the Wilson lew that made the churches prosperous, and not the Dlngley law," It may be so, but if so, let us hpve the facts and figures to proye Jt, The Eagle, chief among the newspapers of the "City of Churches,” should know whereof It ' speaks;* Hut does It kBQff for certain that religion farss belt when the people fare worst? Is It true that poverty Increases crime and morality at one amd the same tijne? Do Idleness, Hunger ana want oper ate to fill the Jails and also the ] churches? I Is the minister suaeet of his salary when the burglar is busiest? Do the dire conditions which impel men to steal and murder promote Christian morality? Are pew rents more promptly paid and is the contribution box better filled when churchgoers have empty pock ets? Does the appeal in behalf of home and foreign missions meet with the most liberal response when the con gregation is “broke?” Are church debts the smallest when individual debts are largest? Do men think most about the sal vation of their aouls in times when they are most engrossed with the problem of how to keep body and soul together? Is it, in short, true, as the Brooklyn Eagle asserts, that “it was the Wilson law that made the churches prosper ous, and not the Dingley law?” The American Economist does pot believe that any of these things are true. To believe them would involve the neeesslty of believing Christianity to be a curse instead of the greatest boon and blessing the human race has ever known. If the churches will do their part In furnishing Information as to the rela tive difference Detween plate collec tions in 1895 under a Free-Trade tariff and in 1899 under the Dingley tariff, the American Economist will guaran tee to show that religion and moral ity thrive best when mankind is hap piest, most prosperous, and freest from the necessity and the temptation to commit crime. Of the truth of this there is not the slightest doubt. Wouldn’t It be a good thing to demonstrate It beyond ques tion In the manner proposed by the American Protective Tariff League? RIGHTLY NAMED. Democrat* Aihtmtd of the Term "Free Tndc*1 Applied to the WiUon l aw Some of the Democratic newspapers are scolding at Congressman Gros venor of Ohio, because he said in his recent speech on the Currency bill that in the campaign of 1896 the Democrats demanded “the maintenance of the Free Trade Tariff bill, called the Wil son act.” They complain of the term “Free Trade" as applied to the Wil son bill, insisting that it was in a measure Protective, since it carried an average duty of nearly 40 per cent. Isn’t it rather late in the day to bring up this question? Three years and two morths ago the people of the United States registered their judg ment of the Wilson tariff by over throwing the party responsible for its enactment. They condemned it for what it was, a Free Trade measure in principle and Intention, and, if not wholly so, as near an approach to Free Trade as the Democratic party dared to make at that time. It was meant to be the entering wedge that should split asunder the American system of Protection, and the horrible wreck and ruin wrought by that enter ing wedge foreshadowed only too plainly the ultimate fate of American industries in the event of the complete realization of Free Trade in this country. i Congressman Grosvenor’s appella- ] tion, “the Free Trade tarifT bill, called ' the Wilson act,” is fully justified by i the facts. Democrats, however, are j naturally a little sensitive about it, in view of all that has happened in the | past three years. Formerly they were J only too glad to take the credit of the i Wilson Tariff law as “a step in the i right direction.” They found no fault in the campaign of 1896 when that law was characterized as a Free Trade measure. The only fault they found then was that it didn’t go far enough in “the right direction,” that ts in the direction of Free Trade. But times have changed, and the. Demo crats would like to have the Wilson law relegated to the limbo of oblivion Toward the law and the blame which attaches to the party responsible fot It the greatest charity would be forget fulness. That is why the sting of Mr Grosvenor’s reminder has called forth so many manifestations of pain and uneasiness. But there arc some thing* not to be forgotten. The ’Free Trad* tariff bill, called the Wilson act,” 1* one of these things. v DANCER AHEAD. California's rrote«t Against Proposed Reciprocity Concessions. If reciprocity treaties with foreign nations mean the release from restrict ive tariff regulations of foreign prod ucts which we do not produce, in re turn for the ad -ilrsion for such of our products into f re gn territory as they do not produce, no one will deny their Trlsdom. <Oa tjie other h .nd, If these treaties mean the withdrawal of tariff in such ) manner as to pn 114 up one class oi products In c-u: c,\va powatry fit the ex pense of arot. er, <r the /attppips qf powerful E.serti cop-'rations by the’ destruction vf ;r' t ctive industries of. the countr , it is t me ;o orIX a hall.
