We are often reminded that those

the republic when the founder of
the government were only intent on

remember that a protective tarill

an understanding of its powers and
purpose. Under the benign influ

revenues were made ample to meet
the requirements of the treasury,
our manufacturing industries were
plated and fostered, our national
credit established, and our country
freed from the productive vessel-

enforced upon us as colonies, and
from which the confederation was
powerless to deliver us.

market of the United States. In
order that the American farmer
may be encouraged in finding Ja
market for his beef without foreign
competition, the McKinlcy bill in
creased the tariff to $10 per head.
The avernge importation for the
last five yearB has been 88,000 hend
per year, and the average price for
the last nine months has been $12
per head, equally annually to a
million and a quarter dollars. The
McKinlcy tariffjin 1800 making it $10
per head must certainly prove pro
hibitive, and the additional increase
in sales to the American producer
must be this vast sum of a million
and a quarter dollars. Can farmers
possibly fail to see the great bene
fit of such legislation?
THE UNITED STATES AND SOUTH
AMERICA.
One of the latest fictions of the
London Times' correspondent in
Chile is to the effect that the in
tluence ot tne united Mates in
Central and South America has
diminished materially in the past
few months. This alleged condi
tion of things, of course, he attri
butestothe recent Chilean difficul
ty with this country. The people
of the United States have not taken
much notice of this meddlesome
individual thus far, although in
directly nnd temporarily he has
harmed us in a considerable degree.
To the extent of his opporlunties
and influence he prejudiced Chile
against us, and helped to create in
that country the feeling which led
t the attack on our sailors in Val-
pariso nnd to the preceeding and
subsequently insults to our flag,
His falsehoods in his paper about
us was telegraphed back to Chile,
and found iniplict credence in that
country as well as in his own.
Through him Chile obtained an tit
terly false impression of the doings
and designs of the United States,
and England acquired erroneous
views of the' controversy. This
of these countries are on the gold
basis, and the silver which circu
lates in them is held up to its face
value in gold by the fact that silver
coinage is virtually suspended, and
by the further fact that the govern
ment of each stands ready to em
ploy all practicable means to keep
silver up.
Austria naturally desires to aban-
don the companionship of Russia
and to get itself into harmony with
the more progressive nations.
Thin renders the accumulation of a
considerable stock of gold indis
pensable. It is supposed that the
rest of the world will thus be drawn
on for from $100,000,000, to $150,000,000
of the yellow metal. Where can
this amount be obtained? Obvious
ly the United States and Great
Britain are expected to furnish
most of it. France and Germany
guard their gold jealously, while
neither Italy or Spain have any of it
to hpare under any conditions. It
is now believed that nearly all the
gold that has left the bauk of En-
land in the past few weeks has gone
to Vienna direct, while most of that
which has begun to move from the
United States is said to have the
same destination.
Thus the gold exportation which
has just set in has a peculiar inter
est for us. Only about half of the
$S3,000,000 sent by us to Europe in
the first half of lSdl has returned,
although all of it was expected
back by this time. That drain had
no injurious effect on the country's
business er enterprise, so far as can
be preceived, but could the country
spare that much this year? This is
a question which financiers are be
ginning to put to themselves. The
general opinion is, however, that no
real peril threatens us. The oper
President Harrison has now
appointed the last of the nine
judges of the United Stiites circui
court of, appeals, and it may
be surely said that he has not made
a mistake in a single one of his se
lection. Acta of this kind com
mend the administration to what
Mr. Lincoln used to call the plain
people, and make it strong among
them with a strength far surpass
ing any amonnt of "brilliancy," so-
called.
DONT FORGET IT.
Don't forget that the McKinley
bill still lives, nnd is hourly vindi
cating the wisdom of the protection
system. The Tribune is perfectly
aware that the campaign of 1891 is
over, but also calculates to do a lit
tle missionary work occasionally.
For instance, it rises to remark that
one year and a half ago e em -free
trade organ in America was a daily
prognostics tor that the iniquitous
McKinley tariff law would destroy
American commerce. What does
the present situation show to us?
That our foreign trade, for the year
ending Decetnbf r 31, 185)0 counting
both imports and exports amounted
to $1,417,172,421. For the year 1891 it
was $1,898,818,028. Net gain for Un
cle Sam of $881,016,587 in just twelve

Farm and Factory.
Prosperity to the farmer means
similar conditions to nil who labor;
but prosperity must first come from
the farm; and through the farm to
the factory. The farm stands at
the threshold of production, and if
the farmers' labors go unrewarded
success cannot come to those that
base their hopes upon what he pro
duces. Ihe vast interest repre
eented in manufacturing, transpor
tation, mining and the minorindus
tries must look to agriculture as
a basis for nil calculations for the
future, It then follows that the
home market is the market worth
considering; and the political party
