With the United States selling $400-
000,000 worih of manufactured prod
ucts in markets where it has to com
pete with the whole world , why does
its manufacturers need a protective
tariff ? If we can ship our goods to
foreign markets paying the cost of
transportation , and then undersell the
whole world , how in the name of reason
can there be any danger of foreign com
petition in our home markets ?
In the records of the United States
Industrial Commission , in the testimo
ny of Charles M. Schwab , occurs the
following passage :
"Question. Is it a fact generally
true of all exporters in this country
that they do sell at lower prices in for
eign markets than they do in the home
marketv Answer , ( by Mr. Schwab )
That is true , perfectly true. "
In the face of such evidence , will tho
republicans persist in denying the fact
that prices on American made products
are cheaper abroad than at home ? If
they do they deserve the contempt of
every patriotic and intelligent voter.
If plain English means what it says
we are forced to conclude that the re
publicans are showing sigus of going
up to the anxious seat on the question ,
of protection. The Baltimore Amer
ican , a republican organ , utters the fol-
lowing orthodox democratic doctrine
apropos the Iowa tariff revision decla
ration :
"The revisionist sentiment won in
the Iowa 'republican convention. It
declares unequivocally for such reyision
of the existing tariff laws as will with
draw from all monopalies the suoport
now furnished them by the Dingley
schedules. For thei most vital issue
now before republicans is that of tariff
revision. The men who , though acting
4is entirely blind , oppose every suggcs-
j'n of a cut in the Diugley schedules.
-sat
may proclaitri grea'er friendship for
the party than this newer element , but
the claim is one they cannot substanti
ate. The Iowa republicans would h > ivt ?
the wishes of the republicans romplied
with , instead of undertaking to deny
them through a mistaken idea that ex-
cessiue protection is a thing to be en
forced no matter what the consequences
just becruse it was onc'e the cardinal
principle of the republican faith. Pro
lection is good just as long as it s jrvc <
the ends for which it was designed and
no longer. It must today be confessed
that in many instances protection lias
been made wholly supeilltioiis so far as
the interests of industry are concerned ,
aiH oppressive so far as the people are
concermd , ' '
Secretary Shaw , who , by virtue of
his position as n member of the Roose
velt administration , is entitled to speak
with authority says that any revision
of the tariff at this time will be a con
cession to the democrats and that there
must be no tariff tinkering at this time.
What extremes are we coming to these
< lay < ? . anywayAlthough Secretary
Kuot&ajs that the only way to get at
the trusts is to revise the tariff , ami
Chairman Babcock of the republican
campaign committee has admitted that
our tariff schedules enabled the trusts
to fix exorbitant prices , and even though
the Iowa republicans say that the tariff
does afford shelter to monopoly , still ,
the administration persists in standing
the present taiiff , purely on the ground
that to revise it would be a concession
to the democrats. Will the American
people allow themselves to be held up
by the trusts who are entionched be
hind the mouopoty-slielteriug tariff
breastworks , every time they btiy any
thing , will they allow American maun
facturers to continue to tue the tariff to
extract higher prices out ot them than ,
their foreign price simply to save the
- * of mak
republican party the-necessity
ing a concession to the democrats ? Per
haps they will , but somehow we cannot
insult their intelligence enough to be
licve that they will.
In 1S90 a republican congress passed
the McKinley tariff bill. This bill was
a protection measure designed , it was
claimed , to protect ; American labor
This may have been the object of its
patron but the subsequent history of
the country * during the period proved
beyond the shadow of a doubt that its
effect was to enable the manufacturers
of our country to fix their own prices
on their products. The American peo
ple were quicK to see this , but John
saw it sooner than they. He knew
that there would be abuses of the pro
tective principle knew that it would
bo the making of inordinately'rich mau'
ufacturers at the expense of the Amer
ican people an-'l that that was a condi
tton that would inevitably lead to trusts
and combinations in restraint of trade.
It was to anticipate this evil and to off
set it that he offered and succeeded in
having passed , the Sherman anti-trust
law. Whatever may ha * e been Sena
tor Sherman's object in fathering that
bill , time has proven that it served no
other purpose than to deceive the peo
ple into believing that the republican
party was opposed to trusts and mon
opolies , and to stand a an ornament on
'the ' statute books , it is a law that is
more honored in the breach than its
keeping , [ t is a republican antitrust
cannon that has been spiked ami put
out , of commission by rich contribu
tions fn.m the very interests that it was
aimed at. to the campaign coffers of
the republican party. Ita utter use-
lesMiess has been conceded by the re
publicans themselves , who are now
coining out and favoring more strin
gent legislation for the control of the
trusts. The people are at last , awaking
to the fact that the .Dingley bill of 1897
is more of a monopoly-sheltering , trust-
fostering measure than the McKinley
bill. Kealizing that fact , they are in
sisting , in unmisiakal > ! e language that
there shall be a levision of the tariff ,
and that the trusts mubt go. It is to
ease this sentiment , and lead the peo
ple away from tln-ir insistence that the
tariff must be revised that the present
cry of the leaders against the trusts is
raised. Every republican politician
from the president down is insisting
that the trusts must be curbed. But
their cry is like unto crocodile teais.
Ler them first tell us why. with a re
publican president , a republican sen
ate and a republican house , in short
with entire control of the government
al machine since 189C , they have not
passed the legislation they now , on the
eve of a political campaign against
trusts , pretend to regaid as so neces
sary. Let them tell the American peo
plehy they wailed until two da ; , s
after the adjournment of congress to
bring the matter to the attention of
the people. Let them explain why
they have not made a single bona fide
effort to enforce the laws that are on
the statute books Let them explain
the fact tliat every attorney-general
since 1SD6 has come from the ranks of
the trusts' lawyers. Let them inform
the American voters why the largest
contributions to the republican cam
paign fund come from the treasuries of
the trusts. Let them give the people
light on these questions , and then and
not till then can the } ' eope to have the
confidence of the people. The Dingley
bill has made the necessity for legisla
tion just as the Lclvinley bill made the
necessity for the Sherman anti trust
law. What stronger argument could
be desired of the importance of the re
moval of the iniquitous trust-breeding
schedules of that bill ?
General Barry
General 'P. M. Barry was born in
Ireland August 2.j , 1844. His parents
emigrated to Boston , Mass. , when he
was 5 years of age. He attended the
public schools of the great city until lie

he enlisted in Co. E of the G3rd New

iel Webster , and served under Grant

sylvania he was severely burned in the
face by gunpowder but did not lose a
da 's se vice. lie was at the famous
mine explosion in front of Petersburg
when he received a wound which oc
casioned the amputation of his right
arm , when he was again discharged
trom the service.
Mr. Barry then returned to civil life
and engaged in business in Boston.
He was married in July , 1865 , to Miss

tailroad land upon vhich he still re
sides. In 1892 he was elected to the

ment cases then pending against cer
tain of the state officers. During this

pert accountants to be appointed by
the state Auditor of Public Accounts.
He gave such general satisfaction dur
ing his first term that he was again
elected to the House in 1894 and at the
close of the session the members ol
both houses joined in a petition to
Governor Uolcomb. which was con
curred in by the judges of the supreme
court , for his appointment to the hon
orable position of adjutant general.
His administration of the affairs of the
Nebraska National Guard was so satis
factory and the efficiency of the tioors
so greatly advanced that Governor
Holcomb reappointed him at the expi
ration of his commission. He served
under Governor Holcomb's second ad
ministration through the Spanish-Amei-
ican war'and by his ability as a military
man biought the Mational Guard of
this state up to such a high state of
efficiency that wlien the President made
his call fur troops the National Guard
of this state were among the first to
respond to the call. He was again ap
pointed adjutant general by Governor
Poynter , serving through Governor
Poynter's term. In January 1901 he
resigned the position of adjutant gen
eral and was elected by a unanimous
vote Brigadier-General commanding
the first brigade , with headquarters at
Greeley Center , Nebraska , which posi
tion he now holds.
