THE EBB OF THE TIDE.
The numerous yroledU emanation
from Republican sources, says the
Courier-Journal, ligainst the passage
of the McKinley bill afford grounds
for the belief that in that bill the
high water mark has been reached
in the matter of duties for protec
tion, and that as respects the state of
opinion among the members of the
party, the ebb of the tide has already
set in.
The growth of the protection sen
timent in the Republican party since
the war has been quite remarkable*
Organized for a different object the
party laid hold of protection as an
issue when the 'qflKiD&^pWpose of
its existence bad been accomplished.
Pushed on by privileged classes, it
continued to take more and more ad
vanced ground uppn the protection
question until in-1868, under the in
spiration of Mr. McKinley, it com
mitted itself to the doutriue that
taritf taxes ought to be advanced,
not for the purpose of increasing the
revenue, as had been the policy of
the party previously, but for the pur
pose of reducing it by checking im
ports; '
What a departure this was from
the doctrine held by the Republics a
party twenty years ago, may be rea.s
dily seen by reference to the pro-
e*edings of Congress at that peno.i.
At the first session of the Forty-first,
Congress, which began March 4,
1869, Mr. Blaine was elected Speaker
by 135 votes to 57 cast for Michael
C. Kerr, showing a Republican
strength of more than two*>tbirds.
At the second session, on February
10, 1870, Mr. Shanks, a Republican
member from Indiana, offered the
following resolution :
“Resolved, That the interests of
the country require such a tariff for
revenue upon foreign imports as will
afford incidental protection to.do
mestic manufactures, and as will,
without impairing the revenue, im
pose the lowest burden upon and
best promote and encourage the
great industrial interests of the
country'.”
This resolution is interesting in
several respects. There. U, no sug
gestion here that Congresn has any
right to impose taxes for nay pur
pose other than raising revenue
Protection is advocated, but only
such as is incidental to I re main
purpo.jo of obtaining money to pay
the necessary expenses of the Gov
ernment. This protection was avow-
ed to be for the benefit of domestic
manufacturers. It was not thought
necessary to pretend tbat the farmer
would be benefitted by such a poli
cy. The idea of checking imports
was distinctly negatived by the
clause importing that the protection
must be secured, it at all, without
impairing the revenue.
The resolution was adopted, but
not by a strict party vote. Wm. D.
Kelley voted for it, along' with the
most advanced protectionists of the
Republican party. Mr. Randall vo
ted aye ; but on the other side was
the bulk of the Democratic vote,
along with such Republicans as W.
B. Allison, of Iowa ; Gustavus A.
Finkelnburg, of Missouri ; God love
S. Orth, of Indiana, and others. Mr.
Allison, who afterward, as a member
of the Senate, gave his name to the
Allison bill, was then what is now
called a free trader,and voted against
the resolution, no doubt because it
favored incidental protection. It is
fair to infer that other Republicans
opposed it for the same reason. It
was a long step from the doctrine of
this resolution to the Republican
platform of 1888.
In December, 1887, Mr. Cleveland
sent to Congress a message devoted
entirely to the necessity of a reduc
tion of the surplus and the revision
of the tariff. The message contained
a recommendation that wool be ad 1
milted free. Mr. Blaine, who was
then in Paris, made a reply to lliia
message in an interview which was
cabled to the New York Tribune.
Upon the wool question he bad this
to say :
•‘I would seriously object to the
repeal of the di ty on wool To re
peal that wonld seriously discourage
what we should earnestly encourage,
namely, the sheep culture among
farmers throughout the Union. To
break down wool growing and be de
pendent on foreign countries for the
blanket under which we sleep and
the coat that covers our backs i^tiiot
a wise policy for the national Gov
ernment to enforce.”
Mr. Blaine had then advanced
from the position of 1870, in favor of
a tariff for revenue, with incidental
protection, for manufacturers only,
to one favoring a duty on raw mate
rial for protection to farmers, with
out any reference to the need of rev
enue, which was admitted by everys
body to be excessive. Of course the
contention that it would help the
farmers was untenable, bnt the state
ment of it shows the difference be
tween the position of Mr. Blaine and
his party in 1870 and 1887-8.
le has profiled by
p< * * ^ * . •
the educational campaign that has
been going on during-the last two or
three years, is evident from his ren
tent letters. In the first of the se
ries, addressed to the President, June
4, 1890, referring to the Pan-Amer-
ein Con ferenco, he wrote :
. *‘It was most strongly urged by
tire delegates, who had carefully stu
died this subject, that the free ad*»
mission of coarse wools from these
countries could not prove injurious
to the wool growers of the United
States, because the greater profit de
rived by them from the higher grades
discourages, if it does not actually
prohibit, their production. On the
coutrary, they maintained that the
free importation of the coarse woo}
would result in large reduction of
t.he : cost of the cheaper grades of
carpets and enable the inanufactu
rera of the Uuited States to secure
ifu enormous export free trade in
most fabrics.”
The difference of tone between
titese two extracts cannot escape no*,
-.ice. The coarse wools, here alluded
to, form nearly three-fourths of our
wool imports. Mr. Blaine quotes,
with apparent approval, the argu
ment that they cannot be produced
in the United Staten, bnt Secretary
Rusk insists that we can produce
every variety of wool, and the ma
jority of the Committee on Ways
and Means made his letter on the
subject a part of tiieir report. The
argument of Mr. Cleveland as to wool
is here substantially adopted, as to
the class which forms nearly three-
fourths of our imports.
It is evident, therefore, that Mr.
Blaine has taken the back track up
on this question ; that he realizes
that his party has gene too far in
the direction of restricting trade,and
is trying to get back to the position
that it held before Mr. McKinley and
his associates committed it to the
extreme position of the last Repub
lican platform. That he is not alone
is evident enough from the petitions
frequently mentioned in these col
ninus of the iron men of Massachu
setts for lower duties on pig and
scrap iron, and the movement among
the woolen manufacturers for free
wool. Many of the most thoughtful
men in the Republican party evi
dently realize that the theory of a
tariff for protection without refer
ence to revenue, has been pushed to
au extreme that the people will not
endure ; that the claim that the for
eigner pays the tax is nhsurd ; that
the contention that protection always
reduces the price is equally unfound
ed, and that the sufficiency of the
home market for American producers
pf every class can no longer be suc
cessfully maintained.
INTOLERANCE.
The Force bill is but the natural
result of the intolerant writings and
teachings of republican editors and
orators for the last 25 years. Evei
since the war the blind hatred of
these men has been shown in almost
every public utterance. Reckless of
truth and of every consideration, ex
cept hatred of the .South and the
building up of the republican party,
these men have gone on, until they
are now ready to fasten upon the
country this iniquitous, legislation,
regardless of the fact that it is op_
posed by the better classes in every
section.
The extreme republicans in the
North have said so many bitter
things of the South and her people,
that nothing but hate can be ex
pected of them. Bnt it was not ex
pected that recognized leaders ot
thought in the higher literary circles
would indulge in the partisan and
carpiog criticism of the party dema
gogue. Recently, however, we have
seen the statement that a contribu
tor in a leading Review has seen fit to
sharply criticise Southern writers
for using the words, “ War Between
the States,’' and suggesting that the
word •* Rebellion,” and other favorite
Northern descriptives be enr ployed.
So then,this man would have South
ern writers employ the words '-rebel
lion, rebels, traitors,” «fcc., when
referring to the stirring scenes of the
sixt’es ! In other words, Northern
intolerance is so great’tbat Southern
ers are expected to act the hypocrite*
and denounce their fathers who died
in defence of the Lost Cause—a
cause that all true Southern men ac
cepted as just and righteous —in lan
guage such as Northern partisans
may select.
Such intolerance is unworthy a
groat people, and it it no compliment
to the honesty and sincerity—to soy
notiling of magnanimity—of those
who assume to be the leaders of
thonght in that section, in expecting
Southerners to deny all their sacred
traditions and renounce their man
hood, in order to pander to the pre
judices of the great putty of hate.
likmtherners will speak tenderly
and lovingly of their dead heroes in
suitable bnt inoffensive words, but
will never accept the intolerant Inu.

REPRESENTATIVE STRUBLE.
In a moment of forgetfulness,
which, no doubt how, he very bit
terly regrets, says the . Richmond
Fiines, Congressman Struble, of
Iowa, has permitted himself, upon
the floor of the House, to make a
personal attack upon the Speaker
in resentment of the discourteous
treatment which he bos recently re
ceived at the hands of the latter.
We confess to a very considerable
degree of surprise at the boldness of
this Western Republican Represen
tative, and we can only satisfactorily
explain it on the-ground that he was
wrought up to such a pitch of exaa
peration that he lost all control over
himself. For a Republican con
gressman to go so far as to censure
the Speaker in unstinted language
during the proceedings of the House,
is very much like a pupil rising in
his scat and violently condemning
some step which his schoolmastei
has taken, because opposed to what
was just and proper. Reed is as ab
solute in the power which he excr
cises over the oouduct of his party
associates in the House, as if they
were in reality schoolboys who were
afraid of being punished by him up
on the shortest notice and without
serious opposition.
The courage of Representative Stru
ble loses some of its force when the
fact is noted that the Speaker was
not in the chair at the time the at
tack was made. If he had been, it
is not at ail improbable that not even
the liveliest indiguation would have
led the Iowa representative to ig.iore
the dictates of prudence so far as to
express the burning sentiments ol
his heart with reference to the con-
temptuous manner in which he had
been treated. Quietly as the Re
publicans in Congress have submit
lid to the tyrannical authority of
Speaker Reed, silently as they havj
borne his brusqueness and brutality
in enforcing his wishes and carrying
out his purposes, there has,no doubt,
been much ill feeling on their part
which they have considered it expe
dient to repress under the peculiar
i-ircnmstauces which distinguish the
present session of congress.
Among the members on the Re
publican side, there mast he many
men who in their secret conscious^
ucas have been opposed to tiic high
handed course, which the Speaker
has pursued so resolutely and so
consistently, and who have abhorred
the contemptuous-rudeness in which
he has so often* indulged. So fair
however, there has been but one
among them wiio has l>ecn bold
enough to express his resentment,
and even he was careful to wait unlit
the Speaker hod vacated the chair
and retired from the House.

Lost night by eight o’clock the crowd
began to gather around "the platform - on
Broad street, und long before Mr. Col

tnsise. ' ; (i “ ' .
Ou his arrival tlie crowd cheered wild
ly, and loud calls were heard toe him.
He took the stand, and in a quiet
voice ue stated liis position on the vaii-
ou questions. . ■ -
His speech was charaeterizejlbylogi

He expressed himself as being opposed
to the present iniquitous banking sys
tem, in favor of the ten-hodr law, show
ed where the Olive bill had nothing to
do with this nice, and stated his position
forcibly on all other points.
He threw in a number of anecdotes,
and kept the'crowd in a good humor.
All in all, it was a straight-forward',
manly address, and one wliibh will re
ceive a great deal of thought.
A number of voters who had been in
doubt as to whom they would cast their
votes for, were heard to say that Colley
was their man.
One gentleman of great prominence
said: “I didn't think Colley could make
such a speech. I knew he was an able
inan, hilt his address showed a great
deal of thought, and was as solid a po
litical talk as I ever hcanl.”
Everybody seemed impressed in about
the same way, and Mr. Colley’s chances
for carrying Clarke are better now than
ever before.
The raee has been - considered close,
and is rather so, but from the expres
sions last night it looks as if the AVilkes
colt will receive a good majority.
Judge Lawson and Mr. Olive both
have a groat many friends in the eortn-
iy, and expect to poll a large number of
votes. Mr. Olive's friends have been
especially active, and have cluimed to
be certain of a majority, bnt there can
he little douht about their being wrong,
though he will receive a good number of
votes in the city.
Tomorrow will tell tlio talc, and spec
ulation will do no good, but mark this
predicion: Colley will carry Clarke
county by a handsome vote.
THE FARMER’S ALLIANCE-
The growth of the Farmer’s Alii
ance, says the Boston Herald, which
is now making its influence felt so
strongly in the West and South, has
been something remarkable. It is a
recent organization, and is a combi'
nation of some of the older organi
zations of fanners in the various
sections ot tbe country where it now
flour i bee. The national organ iza-
tion was completed only a year ago,
but it now has branches in no less
than twenty-five states, and its mem
bership is said to be over 2.000 000,
with a prospect of 3 000,000 before
its next annual convention. It has
not made much of an impression in
the eastern and middle states as yet,
but it is cutting a wide swath in the
politics of the South and Wcst,wbcre
it is either controlling the party
conventions or making nominations
of its own on a farmer’s platform.
A few days ago in the National
House of Representatives, Mr. Stru-
ble of Iowa—republican—made a
bitter attack on Speaker R<ed for
his action toward gentlemen intern
ested in public bills. He spoke of
the speaker’s manner as sneering,
and contrasted it with the courteous
manner of Mr. Carlisle when he was
speaker. He asked if the members
would continue to submit like cow
ards to the speaker’s dictation. His
remarks were applauded vigorously
by the Democrats.

terday afternoon, “Imt if he’s elected
now it’ll be by a serat. h.”
Another prominent Allianeeman of
DcKalb county said on yesterday after
noon :
“I thought DeKalb county would go
f-.r him (Henderson) 2i> to 1, hut it has
actually come to the point where It’s
doubtful if he can carry it at all. His
home county went against him; the
county where lie belongs to the Alliance
went against him, and the county in
which he and Nesbitt, lived as neighhnr.-
went for Nesbitt. B-.t we have’nt quii
work yet and I still believe we can car
ry the county.
The sjieaker was a strong Henderson
man.
Only about, three weeks :.go this same

REED’S AUTHORITY.
Sight and Hearing Give Consent to
What Is Being Done.
Special by News Telegram Association
Washington, D. C., July 31.
Speaker Reed, replying to the famous
criticism of “X. M. C.” in the “North
American Review,” says, respecting
the ground that in the parliamentary
sense the presence of members always
implies full sight and hearing of all
that takes place, therefore, if a member
is present in full sight and sound ol all
occurreeecs, and if all action is loudly
proclaimed by the clerk or speaker, he
is as much a party consenting to all
that occurs, as if his vote is vociferated
<n his loudest tones.
