Tlit Cnmllilncy of McKinley on a Hlch Tariff ami a WoliMjr MnnrJ l'lntfnrni Tlin llnpn of Truo .JeCTenoiilun De itinerary. Chicago Chronicle: The Imllnna re publicans bragged that "from Lincoln to Harrison" their patty "under n wise policy of protection nnd reciprocity steadily decreased the bonded debt, re sumed specie payments, maintained the public credit, kept unimpaired tho gold reserve" and did some other great things. Commenting upon this preposterous claim that tho republicans did all these things "under a wise policy of protec tion nnd reciprocity," The Chronicle ventured to ask who created the bonded debt, suspended specie payments, brought low tho public credit and made It necessary to accumulate a gold re serve for resumption purposes. It nleo ventured to ask who sent the gold re serve flying In 1890 nnd brought It so low that the last republican secretary of tho treasury, Charles Foster, had made preparation for replenishing It by an Issue of bonds before the end of the HnrrlBon administration. Thereupon the Tribune climbed up among tho thunder caps that veil the summit of the high mount of patriot ism nnd proclaimed that such questions could only have been asked by "an ex rebel or copperhead or the son of one." It declares that the war debt was whol ly the work of southern secessionists and northern copperheads, the former of whom plunged the country into war, while the latter prolonged it nnd in creased its cost. The Chronicle was not inquiring who struck Billy Patterson nnd it hns no apology to make for either secession ists or copperheads. It was Inquiring who Increased tho debt and impaired tho public credit by pursuing a bad financial policy, and whether the repub licans had wrought such wonders as they claimed by their policy of "pro tection and reciprocity." It was necessary to borrow much money to meet the cost of the war for the preservation of the union. For that very reason it was necessary to pursue a course with respect to the currency wise enough nnd conservative enough to Inspire confidence In the minds of peoplo who had money to lend. But this is exactly what the republican party did not do. ft pursued a course calculated to destroy confidence, im pair the public credit and vastly in crease the finnl cost of the war. Contrary to the advice of the ablest financiers, a republican congress au thorized the Issue of $150,000,000 of government circulating notes and made them legal tender. Five months later It authorized another Issue of the same nmount. The depreciation which would have resulted naturally from such enor mous Issues was checked by a provision of tho law directing the secretary to give 6 per cent coin bonds in exchange for the note upon demand of holders of the latter. But by an act passed less than thirteen months after the first issue of theso notes was authorized this promise to give bonds for the notes was flatly repudiated. At the same time another $150,000,000 of notes was authorized. As a conse quence of this enormous expansion ac companying repudiation of the original contract the notes greatly depreciated. As It was necessary to sell bonds nt par In these notes In order to keep them from becoming entirely worthless, the bonds were In reality sold far below par, the average price probably not ex ceeding two-thirds of their face. Thus the whole amount of the bonded debt came to be nearly or quite one-half greater than It would have been but for the depreciation of the currency due to Inflation nnd repudiation. This degradation of the currency and Increase in the interest-bearing debt was not the work of secessionists or copperheads. It was republican finan cial policy and the necessary conse quences thereof. Neither secessionists nor copperheads prevented the renewal of the promise to give bonds for green backs and the fulfillment of the promise when renewed. It was not necessary to prolong the suspension nearly four teen years after the close of the war. All this was republican policy. The re sult was a disastrous panic In 1S73 nnd a pretty complete demoralization of tho public mind on the subject of the cur rency. After that wo had the republican sil ver legislation of 1878 and 1890, result ing in 1S93 In another widespread and disastrous panic. And over since that ovent the republican firebugs, though frightened at first Into a half admission of the truth, have been accusing the democratic firemen of incendiarism. It is an old trick of theirs. It Is nt once characteristic and Indecent of the Tri bune, which supported tho vicious greenback policy of the war and which was conspicuous among the sliver in cendiaries in 1878, to scream "copper head!" at anyone who ventures to crlt lclbe the wretched financial policy of the republican party and to recall Its unredeemed pledges of tariff reform. The organ of the perfidious panic party can find no better argument. Mnnoiiollata t'ichtliir Karh Oilier, Chicago Chronicle: A few days ago John W. Gates, president of the Illinois Steel Company, appeared before tho Ways and Means Committee of the House and made an argument In favor of repealing the Jaws for the protection of shipping in the coastwise ocean trade. Under present laws all shipments fror one United States port to another must be In American vessels. Of course their ckvrges for freight are high. Tbey have , loncnoly of the roastwlre traffic They have formed n tariff-protected trust. Mr. Gates snys thnt tho corpora tion which ho represents can get n freight rate nt Lherpool of $2 a ton to San Francisco, while the rnto from New York to San Frnnclsco Is $6 a ton. From Liverpool to Galveston the rntc Is $1.75 a ton nnd It la J3.S0 n ton from New York to Galveston. It would cost but little more for the Illinois Steel Com pany to ship Its products fiom Now York to Liverpool nnd thence back to American ports than It costs to ship di rect from New York to other American ports. The reason Is that the. const wise commerce 1b protected by tho mo nopoly tariff. Mr. Gates demands that the tariff monopoly on American com merce shall be abolished, that by taking advantage of low freight ho can under sell English stool and Iron In nil tho markets. The Illinois Steel Company Is protected by enormous duties on nil Its products. American purchasers of steel and Iron manufacturers are compelled to pay tho protected monopoly prices thnt are sustained by u tariff of from 30 to GO per cent. Every pound of steel nnd iron sold In the United States pays a profit proportionate to tho nmount of duty levied to protect the Industry fiom foreign competition. At the same tlmo this corporation is selling steel railroad rails and other steel and Iron products In foreign markets at prices which com pete with those of English manufactur ers. They can outbid their foreign ri vals In every market while making American purchasers pay an cxtortlon ate price, 20 to 25 per cent, higher than Is paid for the Bame articles by foreign purchasers. Now, Mr. Gates, while ex acting tho highest price for his own wares that the tariff will support, wants to deprive of protection the vessels car rying cargoes from one American port to another. Ho wnntB to nbolish the protection of vessels employed In the coastwise traffic, while maintaining the protection which he receives for his own manufactures. Ho wants to break down the vessel monopoly, but to Bus tain his own. He says that but for the protected vessel Interests which main tain high freight rates his own protect ed monopoly could compete with free trade nations, but he claims from home purchasers the highest extortionate prices that his monopoly of the source of supply enables him to command. Mr. Gates and all other beneficiaries of tho monopoly tariff should offer to throw off the rates by which they are protected before they demand that the protection enjoyed by other monopolies should be abolished. Sternly Inrreaae In Kxporta. New- York Herald: Olllcial data shows that during March last the value of our manufactured exports reached the unprecedented total of 519,125,785, or 25.85 per cent of the total exports. The phenomenal incrense of manufac tured exports began In 1895, nnd dur ing last year they exceeded $200,000, 000. In March the flood of such ox ports was at the rate of $229,500,000 per nnnum. The striking Increase, which began in 1895, has not been spasmodic, but has been steadily aug mented. The bureau of statistics now reports that for the nine months end ing with March last the manufactured exports amounted to $103,187,920 and were 24.57 per cent of our gross ex ports. The great significance of these figures can best be seen by noting that in no year before 1895, when the Wil son tariff went fully Into effect, had the exports of our manufactures reached a total of $184,000,000. l'urty l'lnnn (.'ontrnateil. New York Journal: The plan of democrats Is to call a cnnention to ngree on a platform, and then select n btatesman to illustrate, and, If elected, to assert the principles of that plat form. The plan of the republicans is to, get the nomination, by unfair means If necessary, and then concoct a plat form with delusive promlecs to every faction from which they hope to get votes. This differentiation explains why one party Is noisy, while the other party Is simply waiting for the con vention at Chicago to nominate tho candidate who will, if fairness and reason triumph, be the it"xt president of theso United States. Itaml Naturally Dealres Itetlronient. New York Journal: The republican newspapers are beginning to protest against the political retirement of Speaker Reed, declaring him to be a man who is too able and too hlg for them to lose. This soit of talk comes rather late In the day. The humiliation Heed has received at the hands of hl3 party very naturally leads him to seek retirement. No man with self-respect can view the Republican situation -vlth complacency. When a party sets the barrel above the brain and puts aside men like Reed and Allison for men like McKlnley it must expect important retirements from its leadership as well as from its ranks.

AN ARCTIC LEO.END. ftiHtlnn Story About tlm t.ot Trltiei nf I.rncl. Tho Atlnnta Constitution publlihOB an article referring to tho reputed find ing of tho north polo by Explorer Nan son, and says Hint a people speaking the Hebrew lnngungo llvo thorn and aro supposed to bo members of tho lost tribes ot Israel. In thla conncctlon,mys a writer In tho Atlnnta Jowlsh Sontl mont, It may not ho Innpproprlato to recall an old legend extant among the orthodox .lows of Russia regarding this subject, nnd which confirms tho report of the explorer. Years and years ago, so tho story runa, an oxllod Jew on tho bleak wlldo of Northern Siberia, In nn effort to tench nn overhanging branch ot a tree, placed his foot upon a log floating in tho water. No sooner had hla foot touched the log when It seamed Inspired with llfo and moved rapidly off, bear ing the oxllo nway toward tho vast ico fields, which wero plainly Vistula nnd plentiful toward tho north. Rapidly tho current swept tho log northward, bear ing with It tho unfortunato Jew, who was bo benumbed with fenr nnd cold that ho wns unable to formulate n plnn of escapo from his perilous position. For three consecutive days and nights tho prisoner clung to the log, passing through towering fields of Icebergs nnd dashing under arches cut by tho cur rent through tho sky-scraping fields of Ice. Out Into beautiful sunBhlne our traveler eventually emerged. The grass wns green nnd the trees wero garbed In tho splendor of nnturo, and birds mntlo merry music on every branch. Peoplo, great In numbers, wero con gregated on either bank of the stream, all dressed In holiday raiment of tho finest texture, but similar In character to tho clothing worn by our ancestors 2,000 years ago. Tho current of the stream ceased to flow, the log drifted to the bank nnd the almost famished and thoroughly frightened traveler repeat ed for the 1,000th time tho Hebrew words, "Shama Israel," and in uncer tain mnnuer dismounted from tho log. Tho inhabitants crowded about, nnd, spenklng in Hebrow f-th which lan guage he was thoroughly conversnnt) learned of his need of food nnd rest and supplied thoso wnnts, after which they Inquired whence ho came and whither ho was going. Numerous In quiries were made regarding the people who lived beyond their circumscribed world, nnd thov in if ifity Informed him of themselves and their modo of living, which had in nowise changed since the advent of tho Clirlstlnn era. They worked and worshiped oven ns did the Jew in nncient times when Palestine was a garden nnd Jerusalem tho center of civilization. The traveler learned that these peoplo were tho lost tribes of Israel, who had migrated to this goodly country, le by the descend ant of Aaron nnmed Joseph who had patsed away without leaving any de scendants.. AN EXTRAORDINARY RISE. Uovr u 1'oor WuUh l'ot Cllrt SmUI Foun dation of Itoyultjr. The wife of the celebrated Lord Clar endon, the author of the "History of the Rebellion," was a Welsh pot girl, who, being extremely poor In her own country, Journeyed to London to better her fortune and became a servant to a brewer, says an exchange. Whllo she was In this humble capacity the wlfo of her master died, and he, happening to fix his affections on her, she became his wife, himself dying soon after, leaving her heir to his property, which is said to have amounted to between 20,000 and 30,000 pounds. Among those who frequented the tap at the brow house was a Mr. Hyde, then a poor barrister, who conceived tho pro ject of forming a matrimonial allinnco with her. He succeeded nnd soon led the brewer's widow to the altar. Mr. Hyde, being endowed with great talent and in the command of a large fortune, quickly rose In his profession, becom ing head of ('' ry bench, and wus ufterward the celebrated Hyde, earl of Clarendon. The eldest daugh ter, the offspring of this union, won tho heart of James, duke of York, and was married to hlra. His mujestey (Charles II.) sent Immediately for his brother and, having first plied htm with some very sharp raillery on tho subject, fin ished by saying, "James, as you have brewn, so you must drink," and forth with commanded that the marriage should be legally rectified and promul gated. Upon the death of Charles James mounted the throne, but a premature death frustrated this envi able consummation in tho person of his amiable duchess. Her daughters, however, were Queen Mary, the wife of William, and Queen Anne, both grand children of the "cl-divant" pot girl from Wales and wearing in succession the crown of England. lll I'roplircjr Conilnjr Truo.
