exacted into law , lias invariably de-
oreunod the nation's rovonuon and
crippled Ameriuan iudiiHtrics , and
not only reduced values and ijrioe

support. Nino-tonlhu of the mil-
lonairos that have lived in this
country have oouiu up from the
nimble walks of life , in many in-
lances from poverty. By others

Armour , the great capitalist , who

loubiloHB thoHo of moans were add-
ng to their wealth while these boys
who were poor , were working for
thorn by the day or month , they
lold no monopoly on the road to
wealth , but under thu protective
aws of our land for which the re-
niblican party is responsible , the
"poor" became rich. 'No stronger
evidence of the wisdom ol a pro
tective tariff has ever boon given
than the object lessons wo have all
witnessed in the past eight years.
When ; v democratic president with
a majority of democrats were elected -
od to congress nine yoarH ago hogs
ind cattle and all farm products
wore bringing good prices. Hogs
in CiiHter county sold as high as
seven cents , and cattle at a corns-
pending h'nuro. With free trade
onactud and the ruventiu laws so
changed that * they only provided
for revenue , with the protective
feature's eliminated and in less than
t'o years business become staguut
od , factories closed , laborers weru
thrown out of employment , thu
national treasurer was depleted ,
values of all property vanished and
bankruptcy and tinancial panic
prevailed ever the entire breadth of
our land. Nouhor the rich or poor
prospered , but all were forced in
hard lines. No sooner were the
news Hashed across the country in
1800 tliat a runublican president
with a majority in congress hud
boon elected , than signs of life w.-u
manifested and the spark of life
began to glow in all the avenues of
business. Today wo are workinu
under a protective lariUf ; the mil
lions of idle have been employed ,
Coxoy's army disbanded , farms and
farm products increased , the rich
growing richer , the poor bettor off.
Kvon in our own midst we have
hundreds of living examples of the
benefits of the changed conditions.
Hundreds of farmers in Custor
county who wort * i.ot worth a dollar

He Now Speaks Out
Now tlnit thu campaign is over
Mr. Bryan is IOHH reluctant about
lulling it bu known wheru ho
Ktaiidn on the Tarifl question. Jn
Ins newspaper , "Tho Commoner , "
which some one suggested might
better bo called "Tlio CommonoBt , "
he is holding forth in quite IIIH old-
limit way about the "imposler"
under which Ihe people of thu
United States suffer through the
American policy of Protection. In
antt-oleolion days Mr. Bryan kept
carefully away from anv mention
of the Tariff question , but , as the
ECONOMIHT moro than onoo pointed
out , Mr. Bryan's Hiloncc on thin all-
imporlant question was as con
clusive as words could bo that his
viowa were in no way different from
what they were whin ho voted in
Congress for Froe-Trado. His
miHont utterance through the
column of his paper testify to the
correctness of the Economist's
statements , and allow conclusively
.hat , if he had been elected to the
1'residonoy , he would have done
all in IIIH power to bring ab"iit a
return to the ruinous policy of
[ free-Trade. American Economist.
Protection IlenHlis All.
It is a sarious mistake lo assume
that a Protective Tariff affects only
those engaged in the production
of commodities. It is true that the
lirst direct benefit conus to the
laborer on the farm and in the fac
tory and to the individual or con
cern whoso money is invested in
larming or manufauturini ; But
that is only the beginning of the
vast benefits that accrue from
Protection. Take , the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company ,
which givufi an idea of the progress
made during the past twenty jears.
From loss than 50,000 subscribers
a score of years ago , and H0,000
miles of wire , there are to day 800-
000 exchange statiors and 2,000,000
miles of wire iu UHO by this company -
pany alone , which by no moans
includes all the lolophonn lineof *
the country. Nor has this wondei-
ful progrtHH in toll phone hervico
had anv appreciable ell pot on
telegraph business , for the miles of
wire of the Western Union Comp
any 1'avo incteased in the past
twenty yearn from 2:18,000 : to 1)38- )
000 , while the Postal Company ban
170,000 miles.
The telegraph ami talephone are
to-day necessary ndjui\cts \ of busi
ness. To show how Protection
and Free -Trade affect telegraph
messages , it is only necessary to
examine the record of number r > (
CHKiges sent each year from 1800
to 15)00 ) :

liut it was not telegraph mes
sages alone that fell of during the
years of that industrial oclipn.
Wo wrote fewer letters. The
railroads carried fewer passengers
and less freight. Instead of
putting money in lh bank , wo bad
to take it out. That left less to bo
loaned to builders and others. So
it will bo seen how the telegraph
operator , tho'lineman , the railroad
brakeman , the post office clerk , the
bank clerk , the mason and carpen
ter , the drayman in fact , every
man in the country , is as much of a
beneficiary of Protection a the
man on the fttrni or in the factory.

The following1 extract from an

the condition in which we found
the cotton goods market :
"Despite the apparent prosper
ity that surrounded the cotton
goods industry , the buoyancy has
left the market. The eastern
mill district is again in the throes
of overproduction , and a four
weelcs' shut down is to be inaug
urated as a means of relief. It
is certainly evident that the out
let for cloths in home and foreign
markets has not kept pace with
the output' . More cloths arc
made than can be consumed 'Mid
in the natural course of things
the surfeit becomes a drug on the
market.
We hit the cotton goods market
just at this same druggy period ,
and our customers shall receive
every benefit.
