Decidedly Cool,

A Democratic paper, at the North, in an ar
ticle headed swing POlicy,p' draws aparallel
between the prosperity Of the United States
and the distressed condition Of England, and
attributes the former TO Democratic policy,
and the latter to Wing policy. 1t says; a4 15
"At this very momen. England is suffering
from Wing policy. With their National Bank
and their high tariff, moi. only have their la
bOrers starved, but their capitalists have run
mad with speculations. Now they are tumbl-
ing headlong TO ruin-lalling by scores and
hundreds. Neither their bank nor their tariff

ing the American tariff of 1912; all moonshine
1.-THE sympathy that exists between Sir Roberl
Walker and Golden and Peel! Really,
the Democratic press, from the Union down,
have united in passing a gross deception on
the American people, telling them over and
over again, that England had adopted the free
trade policy, and that the great demand for our
bread stufs was, because both nations had come
into the free trade policy, and now it appears
that tits no such thing, and England all the
time has been under the protective policy and
her present suffering is in consequence of it,
We Ido wish our Democratic confreres would
notall unite in telling us such romances, and re-
peating them until they have actually persuad-
ed us intoa belief Of their truth, and then, when
any change taxes place that alters the state
Of affairs, turning round and saying they were
