A dispatch from London says that the D1ty
Telegraph OF that city contains the folio Wing
announcement: "We understand that Pfesi-
dent Garfield has lately written a letter to the
secretary OF the Golden club, In which, while
expressing his inability for various patriotic
reasons to carry out all the principles OF the
club he approves OF all possible ventilation OF
the subject or free trade In America Like
many other eminent men in this country, both
democrats and republicans, President Garfield
Is an honorary member OF the Golden cub.
During the late campaign he wrote letter TO
the secretary OF the club. He has not that
letter with him. 1t is at Mentor In short haudl
as dictated to his stenographer. In that letter
General GARFIELD did not express himself as the
Doiv Telegroph announces. He said that he
was not In favor OF the principles OF the Cob
den club. He said, however. that he wanted to
see the ques ions OF free trade and the tariff
as fully and freely discussed as possible in
order that it might be thoroughly understood.
All OF his speeches pertaining to these questions
have taken the same view. He is not, he says,
bIgoted upon any subject He thinks that ali
important questions should be freely discussed.
In order that not only the rulers and law.
makers, but the people may thoroughly under
stand them.
