The election Of Mr.. Carlisle - Speaker
denotes that the democratic party u DRIFT
ing rapidly toward avowed free trade. Its
policy for several years past has been to
straddls the tariff question. to make it,
platforms such that free traders and pro-
tectiye tariff men might stand upon them.
But the free traders have 1t last had the
courage TO make fight within the party
lines Tor the principles which they favor.
and have carried their point 20 far a. to
elect Speaker who is one Of their num-
Der. After Mr.. Carlisle's speech accept
ing the sfice there was dim prospect
that be might soften his free trade notions
IN order to keep his party . unit.
but later utterances show that he il
20 far committed to the free traders that
b must do their bidding. Under his lead
We may look for an attempt to re-revise the
tariff which was revised at the last ses-
sion. This will again unsettle prices and
needlessly affiict the business world with
uncertainty and change. He does not
boldly announce his purpose, but asserts
that the reduction Of 20 per cent recon-
mended by the tariff commission is not
effected by the present law, and he only
intends to 10 far revise the tariff a. to
bring about that reduction. This Ia sim
ply pretext 10 inaugurate free trade
revolution. The purpose Of Mr.. Carlisle
and his supporters IL to make radical
free trade fight, place the democratic par
ty on that platform in the next campaign,
and sweep away the protection now A.
forded BY the government to our indus
tries by the tariff. If they shall succeed in
electing President and majority Of Con-
gress favorable to their views.
II il but few weeks since one of the
most prominent democrats in this State in
formed us that If the democratic party
planted itself on the free trade doctrine in
the Presidential campaign it would be
sure to be beaten at the polls. He declared
that for himself he was protectionist, and
that every man in the democratic party
ct the present time who like himself had
formerly been Wing would not vote tor
the establishment Of free trade in this
country. the inevitable consequence of
which would be the downfall OF our strug-
Cling manufacturers for the benefit of for
eign capitalists. The democrats who
sympathizs with Mr.. Randall in his defeat
are by no means confined to Pennsylvania.
They are in every northern State. They
understand that their party is drifting to
free trade and panperism for our factory
operatives and those engaged IN young
and growing industries, and If that tenden-
cy prevails it will be against their most
strenuous opposition.

The Dakota River.

De Smet Leader: There is quite a
general demand among the newspapers
along it's course that the name of
James," or more vulgar "Jim" river,
shall be dropped and the original name
OF Dakota river restored. 1t is o Just
demand. but will be hard matter to
bring about, as the name of James has
become known all over America. It is
to be regretted that there is in the vest
such tendency to perpetuate in endless
repetition the old names that have trav.
eled from Europe originally and then
from the older states, until 1t looks as if
nothing was 80 much dreaded as origi.
nslity in nomenclature. Surely
it is easy enough to find
names for towns or streams
which shall belong to them exclusively,
30 that they may be known by their
names alone, without the addition of an.
other word to explain their locality.
james river means something wholly in.
definite, and might he any one of half .
dozen; and it started in Virginia in honor
OF . tyrannical Britieh king. Why it
should be perpetuated here it is hard to
imagine. But there is only one Dakota
rlver, and its name would indicate its 10.
cality the world over. Americans gener.
ally. especially in the west, steer clear oi
old things, except in conferrinR names,
Why not in this?
