Reports in the English papers just re-
ceived indicate that the cattle disease is
spreading rapidly. According to The
London Globe. in Nottnghamshre every
petty seasonal division is now infected :;
and in six out of the seven there had been
fresh outbreaks within week. A similar
account comes from Cheshire, where there
were said to be no fewer than i5S animals
suffering from foot-and-mouth disease. In
Sussex the contagion is evidently spread
ing, and in Derbyshire it has been COM
municated from a large flock of sheep to
aherd ofhorned beasts. The consequence
OF this state of things is that the Execu-
tive Committee of the Farmers AL
lance thinks il time to speak out in no
doubtful tones. II has unanimously
passed resolution in favor of absolutely
closing British ports against cattle imports
from places which are not known to be
free OF disease. II declares that it would
he better to have no restrictions upon the
removal from place to place of suspected
cattle than the present inadequate though
vexatious rules and it calls upon the gov
eanment to bring in at the earliest oppor-
tunity bill substituting an efficient law
for the one which has so conspicuously
failed.

DEMOCRACY AND FREE TRADE.

The Democratic party has at last taken
a decided stand on the question of pro.
lection TO American industries. It no
longer, we presume, will pretend to be
for protection in Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey and other manufacturing states and
for free trade In states where, erroneous
ly, their interests are supposed to lie in
that direction. The election on Monday
of Mr.. Carlisle, of Kentucky, pronounced
free trader, as Speaker Of the House of
Representatives, by vote more than
double that given to Mr.. Randall, arepre-
sentative of the protection wing of the
Democracy, shows Enthusiastically that SO
far as the members of Congress represent
their constituents, the Democratic party
is Overwhelmingly in favor of free trade.
That there is no mistake in this state
ment, the rejoicings of leading Demo-
cratic free tradc papers testify. The
New York Sun of yesterday, says:
aThe Democratic majority in the House
of Representatives having definitely plant
ed themselves upon the doctrine OF free
trade, and having declared their hostility
to every form, degree, and kind OF tariff
protection toward American industry, it
becomes an interesting question how far
they will be able to draw to their party
the Republican free traders of the
country"
10 become more ''interesting ques-
tom how far they will be able to draw
the vote Of the workingmen and manu-
facturcrs OF the country in favor of a
policy which will utterly cripple Ameri-
can industry, and build mp foreign manu-
features at the expense of the prosperity
of this nation and of its working people.
In view of such prospect, we hardly
believe the people will agree with the
San 10 its stereotyped cry Of 'frhe Re-
publican party must 60"
Following up the question of the effect
of the election of Carlisle as Speaker on
an anti-protcction platform, the Sun of
this morning says:
ssWhat win be the effect OF this new de.
parture upon the election of 1884 ? This
Is problem tnat eXperlenco VIII proibpt
ly solve. Our friend of the Courier
Journal declares himself fully prepared
for defeat, and probably he viii not be
disappointed. On the other hand, the
Evening Post ofthis city would seem to
imaging that the free trade party may
win, but this we think must be pronounc-
ed Quixotic illusion. The judgment
of sober men will DO that In the present
temper of the public mind, neither New
York nor Connecticut nor Now Jersey
nor Indiana, can possibly be carried upon
the free trade programme. Louisiana
will certainly vote against 1t, and Georgia
and North Carolina will do likewise. In
deed, the only States that can surely be
relied upon to give Democratic majority
under such circumstances are Kentucky
and South Carolina.
