But Phfiadelphia never loses an oppor-
fnnitv to parade strictly American things,
and strictly Pennsylvania things. Phila-
delphia goes for home prod uction first, last,
and all tie time. Philadelphia is always in
fayoriof taxing the country for the benefit
OF Pennsyfvania. Philadelphia would be glad
to, pay Pennsylvauians out OF the public
pocket for producing coffee, tea, cocoanuts,
Brazil nuts; black pepper cloves, and
everything els,N that we can buy from others
cheaper than we can produce them our
selves. IL was evidently the intention of
Philadelphia In inviting the Goyernorstto
Philadelphia to sound ina their ears the
praises of the great American system OF
tariff spoGation. g i,'f ,ta3Fss,' .i2ss3.!
After learning all about strictly Ameri-
can dinner In Philadelphia, the Governors
will proceed to. Gotham, where they will eat
and drink some more, Though tits not an
nounccd that they d will be served with
strictly American dinner. Probably they
will be served with the best the market az
fords, without much regard to- the sourceo
the SUPPLY Probably their exceliencies
will not he required to drink Whiskey
straight because tpkay and Champagne come
across the Atlantic, or to improve their
breath with tansy. because cloves are the
product Of a,foreign cline.% j! - lsi.%.,@
:. Those OF the party who, survive Phaiadei-
phia! and New York will proceed to Boston,
and spend several days In! putting them
selves outside Of baked beans, brown bread,
and pumpkin pie. 1t is expected that Bos-
ton fare and funny poem by the inevitable
o. W. Holmes will exhaust the executive
capacity for enjoyment, and from that point
homeWard. Chicago Is not down in the,
programme for the obvious and sufficient
reason that every body goes to Chicago any
way, and II is not necessary, to organize an
expedition for the special purpose OF visit
ing . city that everybody i bound to see
before he dies.
The:ostensible object of thegube rnatorial
gathering iiss to have atgood time socially !.
to- eat, drink, make post prandfal speeches,
andimake merry generally. The object OF
Philadelphia is to hold up the 's American
system" to Executive admiration, and
secure the influence Of the Governors in
favor Of more Chinese-wall legislation. Z
