British Gold in this Country.

If the western journalist will observe how some
of the most blatant of Ihc freerade advocates are
Ia notice that the CALLED jade winces." The just
cause and prov ocatiOn of this is the charge some
times made that British gold has more to do with
frec-tradc agitation than is generally srDposed
Yesterday brief mention made in these columns
of the fact that Mr.. David A. Wells of all men in
the world, had written paper The Most Recent
Phases of the Tariff Question, in which he took uI
the charge that seems TO be pretty efectually fast
ened TO him. that British gold plays q conspicuous
part in this agitation. These charges assumed that
Mr.. Wells expert this question, and in his
paper he blandly admits that he is. lie announces
that he is in the secrets of the Golden club that he
knows the state of its treasury is familiar with the
means il employs, and knows the character of the
who furnish the free-tradc literature that the
club circulatcs in this country. The Golden club
he says Is too poor to send lobbyists here. and has
gold to corrupt writers like Mr.. Wells. This
statement alone would show that this gentleman has
made quite a study of the matter. He states that
the pamphlets and other printing with which this
country is flooded, as for example in 1889. paid
ly thinkers. iurists statesmen and philanthropsts
They the same statesmen and philanthropists -
it is presumed. who furnish the immense sums of
money that has plunged English politics into cor
ruption that has no parallel in modern history
These philanthrOpsts and statesmen. of course
have interest in the manufactures of Great
Britain. Having made English politics the synonym
of all that Is dsgraccful of course they draw TIE
line nj sending nat free trade documents. Spending
90 n step further and employ lobbyists and Ameri
can merceuaries to write up their side of the
Englshmen have always been too delicate and
serupulOus to do anything of that kind especially
their ''philanthropst and statesmen. The fact
that such a hardened parsonage Mr.. David A.
Wells has been forced notice this particular
phas. of the tariff controversy is instructive.
IL shows that these I'M American advocates feel the
force of the growing public opinion Of them. and
that they begin to appreciate the fact that they
must, if they explain the very questionable in
huenccs that all around them. The fact that
they are working to reduce the manufacturing in
terests Of this country TO the level of relands and
that they are hand in glove with element that is
powerful and has been over-scrupuloRs in the
use of money. is suspicious that if We did not
know by the ciearest proof that english freetraders
were spending money in the United States. adyo-
