Show WHO WOULD BE GLAD. J8 It is good for Republicans to keep in mind fiH the people who would like to see the Republican j 'jjHfl party defeated this year. There is no manufac- 'H turer, exporting merchant or shipowner in all "jfl Europe who would not subscribe generously for 'n that defeat, because every one knows that could g Mr. Parker be oleote.d, and could the tariff be re- j 911 Mill M adjusted as he wants it, the balance of $400,000,- H 000 which the United, StateB 1 annually chargingr M up to the outside world, woud be cut dowit to m nothing in a single Rear, and tliat Quits $200,000,- M 000 of the money tohich thfr United ' States flow B has In circulation would be transferred across the B Atlantic in the next twelve months. The experi- B ment has often been tried; it has never failed to H culminate in the same result. It has meant pros- H tratlon of business and such a drain of money out H of the country that it amounted to paralysis and H the turning of thousands of wage-earners out cold H and desolate. The shipowners would be even B more glad, because they are shrewd enough to see B that so long as they can keep the American flag B banished from the ports of the world, the United H states can never become a great commercial na- Hl Hon, no matter what Iter wealth may be, and that H so long as they can bring to the United States H what she buys and carry away what she has to H sell, they will compel our country to divide its B profits with them. Ought not these facts to be H hints to the American people how they ought to H vote? If- by voting the Doniooraftc ticket they H can make all tho outside world glad, is u not H clear that the shrewd men of other lands see an H advantage to theme elves in the result? It is true m and all men ought to be wise enough to aee that H tlie reason they are glad is because they see for IH themselves a profit in being glad. |
