New York Tribune: This i.- just the* time of h11 others, ( ties a stalwart free trader. for the democratic party to ac complish the overthrow of protection with ease. After battling for genera ' tlons on that issue, Is it conceivable that the party will run away front it precisely when the best opportunity of Ils whole history conies? This was lhe one question on which it won suc cess with Cleveland, and it would lie amazing folly now to abandon it for the one question on which it sustained its most complete and humiliating de feat with Dryan. With now posses* slons which produce sugar largely, some radical alteration of the tariff will be unavoidable, and It will be ail the more easy Just now to overthrow protective duties, because the great industries have gained « hold on for eign markets, and want protection no longer. Such, In substance, is the reasoning of sundry democratic Jour nals which scents to have been sug gested by certain pithy remarks of Senator Morgan In the same vein. That senator will be treated with re spect by all who appreciate a genuine g Americanism, but if this particular suggestion were found afloat without Ills name attached It might be attrib uted to those whom that senator holds In deep contempt as enthusiasts of things foreign. Where has the senator learned that American industries no longer want protective duties, unless from foreign Journals printed on both slues or uic ocean nr wouiu mn miu > hi* constituents about Birmingham of that mind, nor the sturdy wool-grow ers of the west, who have done at least their full share in maintaining the honor of the flag. Nor have the wool manufacturers made so much us a re spectable beginning In the way of In vading foreign markets, and they well know that another Wilson tariff would mean for them, and necessarily for wool-growers, another four years of extreme prostration. Hut the question will, In fact, he decided, not by the; manufacturers, but by the millions of workers who knew what It was to hunt In vain for work at low wages under Cleveland. It Is exactly because the democratic party did succeed once on that issue with Cleveland that It was ready to run away from it, even Into populism, defeat and disgrace. The idea that the tariff must be re constructed because new possessions grow sugar is presented by Senator Morgan with his accustomed zeal, but not with hi* usual studious examlna a tion. If he had reviewed the history ’ of hi* country with reference to this question he would have found that it had been decided before, and not aH he supposes. Possessions of the United States do not become part of the United States until they have been brought within the union as states or territories. The tariff is to-day en forced respecting imports from Porto Rico and the Philippines exactly as if they had In no sense become property of the United States. President Mc Kinley is well advised In declining to abrogate a law on the supposition that congress will make such disposal of new- possessions that the tarifT will no longer apply to them. It is a marvel that Senator Morgan seems ready to assume that Americans will request the mixed and colored races of the islands to help Americans govern this country. Were it determined on any ground or for any reason to admit the sugar of Porto Rico free, as the sugar of the Hawaiian Islands has been admitted, It does not follow that the conse quences would he of large Importance. Porto Rico Is not of unlimited Hize, nor has it such a supply of unoccupied land and available labor as would promise any vast outcome of sugar. The sup ply from that Island has fallen off ma terially, to this country more than half since 1872, and was never large enough to all countries to compare with the quantity received by this country from Hawaii. Hut it may be added for the enlightenment of free-trader* that any reduction in the revenue derived from importations of sugar would assuredly be followed by heavier duties upon the munufactureU articles which this coun try Is able to produce for Itstdf, in or der to secure further development of home Industries as a result of the col lection of a higher revenue for a time.

The protective tariff policy has come to stay. Repression and »»siin»>lus. The free 1 radc literary bnre.au occa sionally makes an absurd misfit in the Muff it supplies to IirnuM ratio and Populist p.i|iers in various pat It* of the country. For example, wre find float ins around hi the column* of rural weeklies this paragraph, dated July 2#: “Evidently the tariff la nof accom plishing Its alleged purpose to foster competition ami advance wages when the tin plate trusts are united in a com bine and wages are not advanced. The Republican talk almnt tlx* tariff being for the benefit of th« wage earner has always been (he thinnest kind of pre tense.” Ten days or Ivto weeks before this piece of free trade "news'* made Its appearance the wage controversy be tween the tin plate mUta and their workmen had been satisfactorily ad justed. and u sulMitantfAl Increase granted to all employes. HUH the lie sent out by the free trade literary bu reau haw gone the rourrda, and it ts too much to hope that it will be followed up by a statement of the truth. It Is safe to say that the fact of a large advance in the wages of tin plate operatives will not he promulgated by the free trade literary bureau. Never theless, the country aa a whole Is well Informed on the subject. It knows that since domestic Industrie* began to feel the tremendous spur of activity follow ing the restoration of the regime of protection and prosperity wages have advanced all along the line, and that for the year 1899 the gross sum paid out by employers to wage earners in the United Hintes will exceed by hun dreds of millions the sum paid nut iu the corresponding year of the free trade administration of I8M-*97. The Democratic mayor of Milwaukee was right when he said, not long since, that it is folly to undertake a "cam paign of education” for the benelU of the Democratic party in 1900 in the face of all the biasing facta of pros perity and progress. The free trade literary bureau should act upon this ex cellent hint and repress itself; still better, suppress itself. Tract* In Raftaad A correspondent of the Philadelphia Press, writing from Ijondoa. nays that the trust movement in England has reached great proportions. Some of (he commodities! which are tontrolled by English trusts are gunpowder, iron bedsteads, steel tubes, dynamite, salt, tin plate, rails and coal.whlle the trans portation rates on all English products are controlled by railroad and ship ping trusts. Not only la this the case, but It Is also true that there are great corporations which monopolise many of the necessaries of life. It is strange, perhaps, that such things could happen in free trade Eng land, in view of the positive statement of Trust King Ha venae yer that there would be no trusts here hut for the protective tarifT. Vet the truth is the ti uth, and there is no getting around it. As a matter of fact prosperity, and prosperity alone. Is responsible for the organization of trusts. Without indus j trial activity engendered by a great ' and growing demand for manufactured products, there would be no incentive I to great combinations of capital. The trusts are a menace, but the tar iff Is not responsible for them. That Is a fact which will tie made more promi nent if the Democrats want to make the tarifT an issue In the neat cam peiyn.

Answer hi lh» Ourwllisn, “Why Not A l>«l lull i'rotectluu Postmaster General dniitli, In an in terview published in un Omaha paper, is credited with having used this lan guage: “The tariff is not an Issue of the r.ame importance uh in the past. The policy of protection aimed to build up our industries to « point where they could stand Independent on Ihrir own feet. This object lias been accom plished. Protection has established the complete industrial Independence of this country. More than that, it may fairly Ire said that it lias substan tially established our industrial su premacy. This truth has been demon strated within the last two years, as we are now beating the products of the Old World on their own grounds. “With tills development of our home industries to the point where they completely possess the home market and are able also to reach abroad, the protective Issue bus not tin* same vital force it had during the period of strug gle and development." Tills prompts the Chicago Chronicle to ask: "Then why not abolish pro tection ?" The answer is manifest. It is be muse, without protection, nil that has been accompli/-lied would be destroyed. While here and there some Industry has tinder Its aegis so thriven and de veloped as to no longer require the paternal assistance of the government and should b« placed upon the free list. Instead of being an argument in support of the abolition of the policy under which the manufactures of America are fast reaching the happy stage of independence, this happy re sult rather stands as an object lesson calculated to impress every lover of his country with the wisdom of that policy which lias brought wealth, hap piness and prosperity to an entire peo ple. The tariff can no longer Iw made tlie all-absorbing Isme of a political cam paign because the benefits of protec tion are so universally recognised that It* most persistent enemies have no longer the courage to assail It. Four years of contrast under the operations of each of the two opposing systems have been fraught with an experience which the people are unwilling to un learn. Suffering, beggary, starvation and bankruptcy, whleh had settled on the nation like a pall, have' given way to the most phenomenal era of uni versal prosperity that ever glorified and uplifted an afflicted continent, and the masses refuse absolutely to ex change* the material benefits of a safe and salutary policy for the promises of an Illusive c himera whleh bad brought In Its train hut disaster and ruin. This Is lh«* truism that Post master General Smith announced, and that his declaration Is to go unchallenged Is made* evident by the solicitude with which the leaders of the democratic party Jealously avoid all reference to the tariff Issue. Four years of a de velopment which has firmly establish ed our Industrial supremacy affords a practical Illustration of the virtue* of a protertlve tariff whleh even Mr. Bryan Is content to respect. In this sense, not only is the tariff no longer an Issue of the same Importance as In the past, but It is fn every essential a dead Issue. New Orleans States. ninl Would Happen. The London Economist has given a tabulated list of 1S7 healthy, robust trusts now existing In free trade Eng land. Of these 132 are more than five years old. In the latter class are lfl iron and steel combinations, 17 textile fabric trusts, four paper combines, and 12 railway rolling stock combinations. According to the stock quotations and reported dividends none of these big concerns are at all lank or spindly, not withstanding the absence of a tariff mother to furnish nourishment during the period of Infancy. All these little Items of Information in regard to the extent of the trust system abroad na turally suggest an inquiry as to what would happen if we complied with the Democratic entreaty to "take off the tariff and bust the trust." Well, for one thing, we would be sure to furnish a mighty promising field of operation! for the trusts of England, Germany and the other European nations which are not engaged In the busting process.-* Sioux City (Iowa) Journal.

Kansas City Journal: Mr. William Jennings Bryan may have believed once that the free and unlimited coin age of stiver would be u good thing tor the l"lilted Staten, and that the adherence to the gold standard through thr- administration of the re publlcan party, would reault in Indus Iria laud financial dlsHsft r; at leant ihnt is what he preached. But Mr Bryan does not believe In these things’ now. Neither doer any other man of intelligence. Vet Mr. Bryan and hIt; staff of bootnera would give the im pression of thia belief by Keeping alive the silver Issue. and especially by re affirming the Chicago platform in its entirety. Mr. Bryan does not believe tbui lh< United States government Is bent on a system of oppression in the Philip pines, determined to mHke |>oor, servile dependents of the Filipinos. He does not believe that the Filipinos would be better off If left to their own guidance than If they would submit to the pro tection. the government and the en couragement of the United States. Yet Mr. Bryan would lead Ida hearers to helleva that the United States gov ernment has discarded Its boasted poli cy of liberty to all aud adopted In Its plaee a policy of despotism, so far as the Philippines are concerned. Mr. Bryan does not believe that the condition of wage-earners In this coun try Is deplorable; that labor Is crushed and warped after the manner pictured In ‘ The Man With the Hoe;” on the contrary, he knows that labor Is better paid than for years past, and that the price of labor will purchase more of the necessities of life at present than at any other time within a decade or more. Yet Mr. Bryan persistently tries to con vice the people that he l>e lievcs these things. Mr. Bryan does not believe that one class in this country Is planning the destruction of another class, and that It haH alreudy more thnn half way succeeded; yet he makes representa tion.! seemingly based on this belief, and incites one class against another. Mr. Bryan does not believe that the democratic party is better able to cope with the abuses of trusts than is the republican party, yet he would have the people understand that the only salvation from complete and grinding monopoly Is the return to power of the democratic party. Mr. Bryan doeB not believe that his own course us the leader of a party is consistent or honest. In its relation to the masses; yet he poses gs the great friend and advocate of the people. It maybe that Mr. Bryan believes that all things are fair in politics, as in love and war, but he will learn by and by that the people expect sincerity and honesty of the man who aspires to the presidency, and that, If given an opportunity to do bo. they will re sent more forcibly than they did in 1896 his transparent misrepresenta tions and fallacies. Take* Crow, Feathers amt All. The Howells Journal, a democratic paper which threatened fusion success In the state If Hllas A. Holcomb was thrust upon the democratic party as a candidate for Judge of the supreme court, takes Its dose of crow, says the Fremont Tribune. It does it with some grimaces, It Is true, but It dots It Just the Batne. It gulps Its fowl in the fol lowing way, the feathers still sticking to Its teeth and the passage of the bird down the editorial oesophagus being plainly marked by the sliding protu berance and evidenced by the nausea created by the morsel. “A democratic state convention has spoken—Silas A.

The nomination of Slippery Si Hoi comb, as the I’apilllon Times used to say, is an endorsement, by the fusion ists of Nebraska, of the notorious re count ballot fraud, an endorsement of his use of railroad passes when he had soli mnly promised the people from every stump in Nebraska that he would not use them, and is an endorsement of his notorious bouse rent graft, whereby he drew $50 a month foi house rent when he paid but thirty for the house. It wus plainly evident that the conventions, composed of people all over the state, did not wish to see Slippery Si nominated but with the party whip In the bands of Hryan, Al len and a few others the nomination of lloleomb was easily accomplished. There was a hunger for spoils on the part of many but the voters over the state are not looking for spoils now any more than they were five years ago when Tom Majors went down in defeat. Independent voters are getting more numerous every day and if the republican state convention nominates a good, clean, capable man for the supreme judgeship it will settle the whole business then and there.

Tammany "rooted" for David B. Hill—unsuccess fully. Three years ago Tammany stood out against Bryan at Chicago, and its opposition only made the west ern £li(l southern delegates the more resolute In their purpose. Whether it sends to the party councils an orator like Bourke Cockran or an adroit po litical wire-puller like William C. Whitney, the result is the same.

RAISINQ CANARY BIRDS. About 250,000 canaries are raised every year In Germany, 100,000 of them being sent yearly to the United States, 50.000 to Great Britain, Brazil, Chile and the Argentine Republic. Ordinary birds fetch from 75 cents to fl apiece, while birds bred in the Hartz moun tains are sold from prices varying from |2.£0 to $5. Two-thirds of the birds sent to the United States are imported by a German resident in New York, who, in his turn, buys them from dif ferent parts of Germany. In the Hartz mountains this dealer has a bird cage factory which turns out material for 1.000 bird cagftt daily, and the peasants take home bundles of It for making ceges In their leisure moments.
